THE OFFICIAL COUNT.
The Soldiers Vote Delays it, and May
Change the Result on Surveyor.

Pottsville, Nov. 1.-The board appointed
to compute the official vote of Schuylkill
county, with Judge Bechtel on the bench,
began their work at noon yesterday and did
not complete it until midnight The board
was composed of NJ. J. Flemming, ESQ
Albert Roehrg, Harry Seligman, Charles
McGinnis, Myer Strouse and j. S. Foster.
Isaac Bensinger and Deputy District Attor-
ney M. p. Mclaughlin also assisted in eX-
pediting the work, while PrOthonotary
Deegan acted as clerk.
The figures given below do not include the
soldier vote which was taken in the field and
at the armories. The law requires that the
votes of the soldiers shall be officially com
puted on the third Friday after election,
which will be the 25th inst This count
must be included in that of the county, SC
that the official returns cannot be computed
and forwarded to the state capital until after
that date. The election board must meet
again on the 25th inst, to compute the sol
dier vote and add it to that given below.
The result of the soldier vote may change
the result on the Surveyor as the Democratic
candidate is now credited with only 52'
plurality. Higgins majority of 80 fol
Senator will also be greatly reduced by the
soldier vote.
There were 1880 votes polled in this
county on Tuesday, much less than the tota
vote of 1896. The official count, not includ
ing the soldier vote, is as follows

MASTERING OUT.
Troops VIII Be Ordered to Their Home States
and Gradually Discharged From
the Service.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The muster
ing out of the volunteer army, raised
in defense of the Union against the
armies of Spain, practically began at
the war department today and will
be continued until the army has been
placed on a basis consistent with our
present relations to the nations of
the earth. Orders were prepared to-
day for the mastering out of about
$1,000 volunteers, including nearly %
regiments of infantry and about
eight troops of cavalry and five or
six batteries of artillery. Gen. Cor
bin said that a similar course would
be followed in the case of other vol
unteer regiments selected for muster
ing out. They would, he said. be Or
dered to their state capitals as soon
as it could be done without danger
to the interests of the government
and mustered out of the military
service as rapidly as possible.
Washington, Aug. 1S.-Orders were
issued today by Adjutant General
Corbin for the Second New York,
now at Fernandina, to proceed with
all it's equipment, except wagon

Our correspondent writes as
follows:
Honolulu, III. l., July -, 1898.
Tuesday evening, July q, we
sighted land for the first time since
leaving San Francisco. 1t being the
Hawaii and Leper islands some
thirty or forty miles from the islands
on which Honolulu is located. Cheer
after cheer went up from the throats
of thirteen hundred volunteers
When we awoke Wednesday MORN
ing We were drifting with the tide
seven miles from the city. 1t being
the ship crews first trip across the
Pacific, they feared to venture near
shore, and attempted to anchor but
failed to reach bottom. At $50 the
pilot came on board and piloted us
to the Pacific mail docks. AS we
neared shore our band and the
native band, on shore, played several
tunes alternatively. The native
band concluded with Dixie" At
the wharf we were welcomed by
several thousand natives and Ameri-
cans. Several wagon loads of
bananas, oranges, cocoanuts and
pineapples were distributed among
the boys by citizens. Later in the
day the colonel turned the entire
regiment loose for the day, and In all
parts of the city small squads of
soldiers could be seen sitting beneath
the cocoanut and orange trees eating
fruit; everyone welcomed them TO
their yards and orchards.
On Thursday the citizens rendered
the regiment a grand banquet in the
state house grounds. These grounds
it would be safe to say are the
prettiest in the way of natures pro-
ductions on the face of the earth.
1t is beyond the power of the writer
to do justice to, not only the
grounds, but, to the entire city. In
the way of buildings the city is not
up to the standard of our American
cities. The streets are narrow and
crooked while the buildings are
principally frame, but the grounds in
front of each gives it the appearance
of palace. The business houses
are small and crowded while the
residence part of the city is quite the
reverse. In few instances are there
more than two residences in a block
To the east of the city runs a range
of mountains, pointing several
thousand feet skyward, which are

people-well, in fact they are. ex
pect they will have a hot time here
when the flag is raised. / don't
know whether We will be here OF
not. We are to pull out again ON
Tuesday and this is Sunday, SO l
guess we won't be here. This is the
greatest fruit country you ever saw.
You can get all the fruit you want
by just going and picking it. There
is pineapples, cocoanuts, bananas
and several other kinds of fruit that
grow here in abundance. am sure
well filled up on fruit. And the
climate is just simply out of sight. i
wish they would leave US here-it
would strike ME first-class.
The Leper island is just a few
miles from here and that great
volcano is on this island.
Say, papa, when you write send
the boys letters with yours and you
write every week whether you hear
from me or not. There are vessels
coming this way but none going
that way very often.

covered to the top with green grass
and flowers which are to be seen the
year round.
Our stay in Honolulu has 40 far
been a most delightful one, much to
the contrary, bowerer, was our
voyage across the Pacific. The first
night out from Frisco we ran into
with all it's horrors. The first day
we were afraid we were going to die;
the second day we wished to God we
could die; and the third day we
wished to God we had died. 1t was
five days before the majority of us
recovered. and with the departure of
our seasickness came our appetite
with ten fold vigOr. With this we
suffered more than from the sickness.
The food was not only in a limited
quantity, but Of quality not at all
suited to a person i'm our physical
condition. The rations were COM
posed almost entirely of pork and
beans half cooked and a very poor
quality of black coffee. Drinking
water was as much of an object as
the food, the condenser not having
the capacity to supply the quantity
demanded.
The Pennsylvania has a capacity
of transporting about 800 troops
while we have OH board 1886. Our
officers are very much dissatisfied
with the condition of affairs and ii
is likely the 306 recruits for the First
California regiment will be left here
to await another ship.
The City of Pueblo and Peru are
here and we will await the arriva
of the Rio Janero and Philadelphia
which are expected daily. We viii
also take part in the flag raising oI
August 9th before sailing for Manila
AS yet our regiment has had only
two deaths, one i'm company h, ant
one in company &, however, quite ,
few were left at San Francisco in tn
hospital; company i left five men
Corporal Edward l.. Skinner
Privates Conrad Duvall, Bernar
, Neisigh, Leroy Gorley and Claud
Ramsey, all of whom had the measles
. We expect some of them to overtak
us on the Rio JanerO.
The $4,000 from the citizens, whic
was telegraphed by Mr.. +. I
: Wright, arrived just as we wer
boarding the ship and will b
-
ions. Never fear but what tn
money was duly appreciated.

transportation, to Troy, n. Y, and
there to go into camp. For the Sec
ond Maine to proceed from Chicka-
mauga to Augusta, Me-, First Illi-
nois cavalry to proceed from Chicka-
mauga to Springfield, ILL.,, and the
Twenty-third Kansas, now in camp
at Topeka, to proceed at once to
Santiago and there report to Gen.
Lawton. The Twenty-third Kansas
is a regiment of colored troops and is
said to be an excellent one 1t is the
purpose to make the regiment part
OF the permanent garrison of Santi-
ago. The movement of the other
three regiments is believed TO be pre-
paratory To mastering them out of
the service. 1t is said at the depart
ment, however. that orders were
issued because of a desire on the part
of the people of the states to have
the organizations in camp at home
rather than i'm one large camp of mo-
bilization. In their state the men, it
is argued, are less liable to illness.
AS the establishment of camps i'm the
states would involve not much addi-
tional expense, and would be of OBJ
vious advantage to the troops, the
request for their movement was
granted by the department. II is
likely that other organizations will
shortly be ordered to go into camp
in their home states.
