PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Nov. a.
Chairman Garman IN an interview said
tonight:
81 estimate that 100000 votes will be
cast, divided about as follows; jerks,
10000; Stone, $4,000; Swallow. l75,oOO,
which will leave jerks at least 5000
plurality. l do not care TO give figures
as 90 counties, but our whole ehort has
been to have cast for jerks as many
votes as we cast for Bryan In 1895,
which was $4,000. and my adviees indi-
cate that we will exceed that figure.
The Palmer Democrats and those Who
voted for Mckinley who now Intend TO
vote for jerks, will more than onset
any Democratic detection to Swallow.
The Democratic vote will be out, rain
or shine, and therefore ] confidently
expect jerks to be elected.
''AnV. increase in the vote over one
million will increase jerks plurality
and any decrease Of Swallows vote be-
low l75,OO0 will also increase jerks plu-
ralIty so that he may have anywhere
from $4,000 to 10000 plurality"

related here upon apparently the best OF
authority, that the Democratic manag-
ers at Hinton went to the Chesapeake &
Ohio officials to charter a special train
with capacity OF carrying at least one
thousand people to . contemplated
meeting at the place named. Senator
Daniel and Representative Bailey. he
OF the coal black hair and great expec-
tatloDs, were billed to speak there.
The railroad company, fearful OF the
results, demanded u guarantee. which,
after some demur, was given. The
train was run and It carried Just twen-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. s.-The
following statement was issued to-
night by DR.. Swallows adhesents:
The honest government party con-
graduates the people OF Pennsylvania
upon the auspIclous omens OF the cam
paign. When the Swallow standard
was first unfurled It was with far less
confidence than present conditions JUS
tIiV. The enthusiasm with which the
people have responded TO our appeals,
justifies the belief that the death knell
OF Quaylsm will be sounded Tuesday.
Our accounts from all sections OF the
state show that the people are aroused
and that neither cooperation OF the
Ouay-Ellin and Garman-Guffey ma.
chimes nor the false statements and
misleading assertions Of those who are
dependent on them for patronage and
support can deceive the voters.
The choice IS between Stone ana
Swallow. Upon one side is corruption,
fraud and dishonor, on the other Is In
tegrltv, truth and honor. When the
truth is so clear can It be doubted FOR
moment who the voters should support?
Let no one harbor doubt OF the cleo
tion Of Silas c. Swallow.

4 Circular Latter Against Dayton BY
Disappointed once Seeker.
Special Dispatch to the 1ntelllgencer.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov ga
copy Of a circular letter, which is being
circulatedIn the Interest Of John T. Nc
Graw, against Mr.. Dayton, has reached
Washington. For pure eftrontery, not
to sag shameless audacIty, this circular
takes the lead. John R, Purlnton, OF
independence, Is the agent In this case.
He acknowledges that his object in
first approaching Mr.. Dayton was to get
an office. After copying most cordial
response from Dayton to the appeal for
appointment in the census office, when
It shall be established, Purlnton pub
fishes copies OF correspondence, In which
he is shown to have demanded and re.
ceived pay for work In the campaign
In behalf OF his own party candidates,
and then, because, foFsooth, the census
office appointments are not to be made
right aWay-a fact he must have known
when he asked for favor-he unblush-
ingly advertlses his own participation
in a scheme to defeat Mr.. Dayton. His
efforts to elect Mr., McGraw VIII
doubtless get him the favor OF the DEM
ocrats, for the time being, but the nat
ural query is What does he make in
the transaction?"

CHARLESTON. S. c., Nov. s,-The
ocean tug Merritt put into Charleston
yesterday morning and reported the
loss of the cruiser Infanta Maria Tere-
sa, raised by Constructor Hobson, re-
Gently, of San Salvador, Bahama, at
midnight, November i, in the midst OF
furious storm. Her crew was rescued.
The cruiser left Caimanera, Cuba, on
the morning OF October 30, In tow for
New York. She had already passed
Cape Maysi. and started northeast
around the Bahamas, when the storm,
warning of which had already been sent
out, overlook her thirty miles OF Wall
ing island at noon Tuesday. After six
hours battling the vessel began to
strain in the high seas, Parts OF the
hull thought to be safe became weak
ened, the rivets broke and the water
made rapidly in the hold. The boilers
began 10 give way, and finally the wa
ter extInaulshed the fires In the engine
room. The pumps would not work. The
whole vessel showed signs OF q collapse,
and the men stood stripped, awaiting
orders TO quit the ship.
The Vulcan was towing the Teresa,
while the Merritt rescued ia OF the
crew, made up OF volunteers from the
Cincinnati, Newark and Vulcan. The
ropes were then cut, and the Teresa
rapidly flied. The Vulcan and Leoni-
das deserted the Merritt, which put in
to Charleston with the rescued Captain
Crittenden and Captain Lacade, OF the
Merritt, had his arms spralned. The
crew left this afternoon for Norfolk.

demand, because a large number of vessels
are required by a nation for the protection
of her foreign possession: and the latter
ought to contribute in IL proportionate rate,
to the increase of The expenses when necssa-
ry. The amount demanded 10 assist the
war in Cuba and the Philippines is u loan
to be returned, which the Government of
Madrid is now paying back by means of the
Ministry of Ultramar, which Ministry has
ordered the Government of Pto. Rico to
draw drafts on them to the amount of
1000, 900 peseiaS. If which they have al
ready sold about 100000. It will be seen
by the above that Porto Rico has not con.
tributed, mol does she contribute except in
the small amount referred to in the Ministry
of Ultyanar. and. with this exception, all
its revenues are dedicated to its own neces-
sites. md the administration under the
Spanish flag is not as bud as some people
make it to be. as the slate of the island

One Of our subscribers living in Porto

Administration of that island bat who at
present is among us, has told us with refer.
ence to the article which We published in
our paper of the Oath ultimo, beginning thus:
"a glance at Pto. Rico's Government expen.

budget of Pto Rico contributes to the ex;
penses of Spain, but that it does in " small
proportion contribute 20 the expenses of
the Ministry of Ultramar, which has been
created for the use Of the Colonies, and
therefore Cuba, Pto Rico and the Philippines
ought to pay for their protection. Such
amounts as interest, salaries of the officials,
churches, courts, public works and civil
government mentioned in the article remain
in the country for their own administration
and development. The amount mentioned
for the increase of the Navy is the first that

One of the vessels belonging to Admiral

Twenty or thirty years ago, if a vessel
from any cause found her way to the bottom
she was as II general rule regarded as lost be-
yond redemption. and no efforts were made
to refcat her. The underwriters disbursed
the amount of their risks, the owners built
q new ship, aud the wrecked one was left to
rot and to rust in her final resting place.
The news that the Americans have succeeded
in raising the Infanta Maria Teresa, one Of
Admiral Cervera's feet, which was destroy
ed during the heroic bur disastrous attempt
to run the gauntlet of the United States
squadron Dlockading Santiago, serves to re.
mind us that modern engineering skill has
made great strides in this direction during
