mouth OF the harbor early this morning.
after a race for life. The steamboat.
bound into Chicago from Buffalo, in the
dense fog that hung over Lake Michigan
ran into the halfway crib. a mile and
half out from the harbor entrance, and
a great hole was stove in her bow. The
boat commenced TO I'LL with water fast,
and there was a disposition TO rush for
the boats. But the captain gave orders
to turn on all steam and make quick
run for the harbor and commanded the
men TO stand at their posts. The Cones
toga was settling fast and her speed was
diminishing greatly before half the dis
lance TO the piers al the mouth x the
harbor had been traversed. As the mouth

least six Democratic senators have been
found so far who will not vote to seat
Goebel. This movement on Taylors side
is construed to indicate the opinion that
Goebel will be given a certificate of cleo
ton from the state board. The story
that Goebel has decided to abandon the
fight and to enter fight against Black
burn for senator is pronounced absurd by
friends of both and is laughed at by both
Goebel and Blackburn.
Frankfort, KY, Nov. Ex-Governor
Bradley has the members of both parties
guessing what stand he will take in the
event Of collision between Goebel and
Taylor over the governorship. Bradley's
close friends say he will not recognize
Goebel as governor If the state board
goes behind the original returns in order
to obtain for him certificate of election.
The governor himself will not talk, but
as he is in conference with Adjutant Cen
eral Collier almost constantly, rumors of
this kind are worrying the Democratic
leaders. No governor will be inaugurated
December Y, the date prescribed by law.
The law provides that the state election
commission must meet not later than De-
cember 4.

DEMOCRATS IN THE BABY ROLE
Poor Little Things Were Afraid of
Governor BradIey's Troops

Louisville Ky, Nov. 1.-THE work of
tabulating the elections in Louisville is
progressing so slowly that it IS hardly
probable that all of the precincts Of the
city viii be counted before next Tuesday
or Wednesday. Numerous wrangles oc-
cur daily at the sessions Of the board Of
election commissioners. which delay the
progress Of the count. The Democrats
have given notice that they will contest
the vote in several precincts on account
Of the fact that the Democratic officers
in the precincts as well as Democratic
voters had been intimidated by soldiers.
When the vote OF the Twentieth precinct
Of the Ninth ward was reached by the
commissioners today it was found that
there was no complete record % the vote
Judge Hargish. Democratic counsel. said
he would produce affidavits 70 prove that
the Democratic officers in this precinct
were frightened from the voting places
by the report that Governor BradIey's
soldiers were coming. On this account
they had been unable TO make out the
returns. Mr.. Kinkeas. o. the Republi-
cans said he would produce evidence 10
show that the soldiers were never within
a mile % the precinct and that She Dem

PATIENCE, Thy NAME Is WOMAN.
The patience of women is pro-
verbal, and it argues patience
almost more than human which
enables them to endure so much
pain and suffering, which the
joyful experience of their happier
sisters ought surely to induce
them to escape from.
''I suffered from female sick
ness for fifteen years." writes
Mrs. A. c. Scott, lie Roy, Colo,
Suffered untold agonies-doc-
tors could not give me any re-
lief. A lady friend told me to
get Warmers Safe Cure. I got a
bottle and it helped me right
away. I have taken six bottles
and my health is better than it
has been for twenty years.
And Mrs. L. B. Smith, of Ball
ston Spa, N. Y, after recounting
how she wss almost providen-
tally led to the use of Warmers
Safe Cure, thus recounts the
happy results: "My nervous
ness is all gone; I am able to do
lots of work and am cheerful, for
I can now say what I could not
at one time, that is, that every
thing looks bright and life is
worth the living
Use Warmers Safe Cure. It
will restore the rose to your
cheek, and the brightness to
your eye, and will make you
what you were intended to be, q
he1pmate to your husband.

DETAILS OF THE TIDAL WAVE
Which Recently Caused Immense
Destruction In Japan

Victoria, B. c., Nov. 16.-Full details
are contained in japanese papers of the
Shidsouk tidal wave, which caused fearful
loss of life and property October S. The
tidal wave swept in between the banks
of the river SuZukawa, with almost in
credible rapidity and carried off fifty
houses with their inmates, sumbering IS.
Hundreds of other houses were submerged
many being moved some distance from
their foundations. The wave attained a
height of about 50 feet. On the same date
of the tidal wave Japan experienced the
most severe typhoon which has visited
that country in many years. Husdreds
Of houses in different parts of Japan were
wrecked and several steamships and doz-
ems of native craft foundered. But the
worst casualty of all was the blowing
from a bridge of a heavily laden passen-
ger train scar Utsomaya, 100 miles from
Tyko, into the Hoki river, which was
swollen with heavy rains. The train con-
sisted of two locomotives three break
vans, one frst-class car, two second-class
and three third-class cars. Fifty passen-
gers are believed.+s haye been drowned.
Twenty bodies have already been recov-
cred. OF those saved. thirty are more
or less severely isjured. A number OF sur
geons, nurses and assistants, together
with wrecking appliances. were sent by
special train to the scene Of the disaster,
and the injured passengers have since
bee ntaken to the goversment hospital at
Utsominoya This hurricane was preceded
by almost sixty-four hours OF continuous
rainfall in the neighborhood Of Toxic.
Accounts Of the marine disaster come
in from every japanese port. The Jap
anese steamer Toyokawa Maru, loaded
with lumber for the Kure naval port, left
Toyohashi for Kure September . and
has not since been heard from although
the cruiser Amaingo searched for her.
Wreckage, supposed to be portion OF the
ship was picked up on the beach at Togo
hashi. The steamer Toshiman Maru OF
the Yakodati Steamship company, ran
aground at Crystal island. Hokokaido and
will probably be total loss
The French mail steamer Tonkis. lying
at her pier, was carried out to sea in the
big typhoon and narrowly escaped coils
ion with three big ships.
