The po.ouaIt Onerotic stors.

The opening of the Y M c. A lecture
course at English's last night brought out
a large audience which showed throughout
a keen appreciation of fine performance
1t was hard to choose between the merits
of the quintet of stars. All were well re-
ceived, with the possible exception of Miss
Margaret Crawford, contralto, of whom too
much was expected AS a soloist she lacks
the charm of Madame De Pasquali, but her
work proved her to have a highly cultivated
voice, of which she had wonderful control
Praise for the others would be superfluOus
They were all that could be desired AS a
solo pianist De Macchi proved himself a
master. His execution was faultlesS and his
phrasing correct, and accompanist he
showed to good advantage. First on the
by Ernest Gamble, basso, who in responding
to an encore sang The Monotone one of
Cornelius's most difficult compositions, with
dellcacy and ease. Miss Crawford received
little applause for her presentation of "Ah,
My Son" from Meyerbeer's Prophet" but
the best effects of her work were lost be-
cause of the lack of orchestral backing
La mia Letizia." in Italian, brought out
Signor DE Pasqualis fine voice to its best,
and he was compelled to respond to an
encore with the dream song from the
'CaValleria RuSticana." Nine. De PaSQuali
presented the Michaela song from Car
men" and received an enthusiastic receD-
ton, giving as an encore THE Polonaise"
from "MignOn." The presentation of the
second act of Martha" by the quartet left
nothing to be desired The absence of the
was not missed. as there was nothing for it
to have done.

FROM OFFICIAL RETURNS
REPUBLICANS APPARENTLY CARRY
STATE BY OVER 10000.
Total Vote Falls 100000 Behind that
of 1S0O-The POpuIist
Decline.

The official returns have been ascertained
in every county in the State, except two,
and the pluralities on those two are known.
Six counties however, have not filed their
returns with the secretary of state. The
totals, as figured by Journal reporters at
an early hour this morning, show that Hunt,
for secretary of state, carried the State by
20,259 Owing to the haste in compiling these
figures at an hour shortly before going to
press, the accuracy of them is not vouched
for but it is believed they are approximate
~ correct, although the plurality seems sur
prising after the estimates made in the last
few days, it seeming that the Republicans
had not carried the State by quite so large
a figure.
Orange, Parke, Sullivan and Lagrange
secretary of state, and the figures from
these counties, as we'll as those from Ben
ton and Carroll which are also delinquent,
were obtained by wire last night from Jour
nal correspondents at the county seats. The
total vote, as ascertained last night is
534,O01, as compared with 6S7,6S4 cast for Nc
Kinley for President two years ago. The
ProhibitionistS cast 9257 votes this year.
compared with 2.973 two years ago, while the
Populists have 1856 votes, compared with
S,5l6 cast for their candidate for Governor
in 1896.
1T was the boast of the Democratic COM
mittee before the election that the Demo
cratic vote would not fall off 10 per cent
over 1896. while the Republican vote would
fall off over Is per cent. and on this differ
ence the Democrats expected to win. An
analysis of the figures shows that each
party lost about 13 per cent. of it's vote over
that cast for Governor in 1896.

Abandonment of the Maria Teresa 10
Re Investigated.

WASHINGTON Nov. 14.-Lieutenant
Commander Harris who was in charge of
the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa at the
time of her abandonment, has been ordered
to proceed from Charleston with the enlist
ed men formerly attached to the Teresa to
the navy yard at Norfolk. No additional
details were received at the department to-
day concerning the condition of the Span
ish war ship. but 1t Is assumed that the
ships Potomac and Vulcan, which were sent
to Ter relief. are using their utmost en-
deavors to draw her off the beach at Cat
island into deep water. with view to tow
ing her to a place Of safety in the United
States. The report that the tide rose and
fell within the wreck would seem TO indi-
cate that she is in need of extensive repairs
before she can be made to float Whether
the leakage can be stopped while she lies
in her present position in two fathoms of
equipped with all the tools and machinery
for the ordinary repair of ships of war, and
unless the Teresa Is damaged 10 a greater
extent than is believed TO be the case the
facilities at hand are sufficient to repair
her and put her in condition to be towed TO
a United States port when the conditions Of
wind and tide are favorable. When the
wrecking expedition returns to the United
States with or without the Teresa. an i'm
vestigation will be instituted to determine
the necessity and responsibility for the
abandonment Of the Teresa off San Saliva
dor.
