DEMOCRATS WILL
 MAKE HARD FIGHT Contest Over Kentucky Race is
 on in Earnest. BOTH SIDES DETERMINED Taylor's Plurality at One Precinct Thrown Out by County Election Officers Board Will
 Meet on December 4
BOTH SIDES DETERMINED

Louisville, Ky, November 1.-The prog ress of contests in various counties of the state is the point about which interest in the fight for the governorshlp is cenered The determination of rhese disputes may swing in either direction the result on the face of the returns as they may be made to the state board of election commission CTS. The contests involve over four thous- and votes in seven counties, as follows:
 Christian county, 95 votes; Taylor's plur- ality in one precinct at Hoplklnsvile Was today thrown out by the county election officers.
 Knox county, 1885 plurality for Taylor is in contest. Under a mandatory order of J. M Brown at Barboursville these returns have been certified by the county election officers, but the contest undoubtedly will be renewed before the state board
 Mercer county gave 2SG plurality for Fay Tor. The democratic chairman of the elec- tion has filed notice of contest in three large republican precincts, alleging various irreg- ularltes. If these precincts should be thrown out Goebel will have plurality in the county.
 The county election board has adjourned but the contest will come before iuhe state board.
 Nelson county's 1,19S votes are being con tested by the democrats on tho ground that they were certified for w. P. Taylor instead of w. s. Taylor. The republicans today filed suit at Bardstown against the county election commissioners and the elec- ton officers in the thirteen precincts in- volved seeking to obtain a manda tory in- junction to compel the election officers to certify these 1,19S votes for w. s Taylor. The matter will also come before the state board
 Pulaski county's 300 votes are in contest. Taylor's plurality was 1546, including the 300 which came from five precincts where contests have been instituted.
 Harrison county's 135 votes in con- test.
 The state board of election commissioners will meet in Frankfort December 4. Before it the points involved in these disputed bal lots will be argued by the leading counsel of the state.

MORGAN AND JOHNSTON WILL MEET
 IN JOINT DEBATE NEXT SATURDAY
Senator and Governor to Present Their Views Upon Burning
 Questions of the Day on the Stump at Athens

134 rifles and ten days rations. Some of the officers and men were dressed only in paja- mas and their underclothing. The breech blocks of the cannon were removed before the boats put off. Two hours after the Charleston struck all had gotten away.
 The report that the crew remained two days on the vessel is inaccurate. A party returned two days later, but found 1t im- possible to save anything. The first land- ing was made on little island with a front of barren rocks. Next day the boats again took the water and proceeded to kamiguin island, where a landing was made In the expectation that fighting would be neces- sary. So far from this being the case, now ever, the Charleston's men found halt savage people who regarded them with cu- riosity rather than hostility.
 On the 3rd the@storm had greatly suD- sided and Lieutenant John Mcdonald, Wlln Boatswain Dommick Glynn and six men, started for the gulf of Laingayen in 3O- foot sailing launch hoping to find an Amer ican warship but entirely ignorant or ten eral Wheatons expedition. Ldeutenaift Mcdonald was four days af1oat Keeping under shelter of the hostile shore for two days on account of. the high seas, being most of the time in a soaking rain. Finally, flying t9le Union Jack down, clad in Ohelf under clothing and drenched to the skin, the officer and 9lis companions overlook the transport Aztec, which carried them to the battleShip oregon.
 The gunboat Helena was due to arrive at Kamiguin island yesterday. The Charles ton was returning from a. five weeks cruise along the eastern coast of Luzon, and Ad- miral Watson was beginning to be uneasy. He supposed, however, that she had joined General Wheatons expedition.
 In naval circles the accident is consid- 1,a1.1 A11xy 12F is that there are not more such disasters in Philippine waters, which are most in- differently chartered. The Charleston lies practically In uhe open sea, and there Is no hope of saving her valuable paraphernalia and contents of lIhe cruiser.

MOSGAN IS NOT UNEASY DareS His Opponent to Divide Time at ger Appointments. JOHNSTs S EXCEEDINGLY TACTFUL Fears sabama's Grand Old Man and 70 ds Power of the Fiery Elo-
 4uence That Has Sounded ~ at the Nations Capital
JoHNsTs $ EXCEEDINGLY TAcTFUL

Washington, November 14.-(Speeial)- morrow evening to meet Governor John ston on the stump at Athens. They will speak there in joint debate on the evening of the 18th. The senator, when seen today. said that he had made an effort to have Governor Johnston divide his time with him at the other places in Limestone coun- ty but that the only engagement he could make with him was for Athens.
 Several days ago Senator Morgan tele- graphed Governor Johnston and asked him to divide time with him at Athens and three other places in the county, and also asking him the pointed question whether or not he intended to- be candidate for the senate. Receiving no reply, Senator Morgan wired again and asked if he might expect an answer. Governor Johnston then telegraphed Senator Morgan that he did
  bate, but that he would meet him in Ath- ems. The governor made no response to the challenge to meet him at the other three places, and likewise refused to answer the question as to whether he was a candidate. Senator Morgan has telegraphed his friends to make engagements for him to speak in each of the places in Limestone where Governor Johnston appears.
 When Senator Morgan heard tonight that Governor Johnston had announced himself a candidate for the senate he evinced no surprise.
 "of course I have been expecting it," he said.
 And my surprise is that he has not formally declared himself before. I do not know what line I shall persue until I see how personal the campaign is to become. My chief desire is to discuss national is- sues involved before the people of my state, but if I am attacked either on account of my age or my public record I think I am capable of defending myself. My record extends over twenty-three years or nearly 5000 days It would be a poor opponent who could find none of them open for attack. I am ready to defend every one of them, however.
 "When I announced myself for the senate expressed the hope that anyone who de- sired to oppose me would debate all ques- tions at issue before the people. I will be glad to divide my time with Governor John ston, and my chief anxiety is that he will not be as generous toward me. The people are the jury and every jury has right to hear the testimony given in open court"

GROUNDING IF
 THE CHARLESTON Further Details Show Cruiser Struck an Uncharted
 Reef.

Manila, November 14-S D. m.-Further de- tails regarding the grounding the United States cruiser Charleston show that she struck an uncharted coral reef ten miles east of Kamiguin island. Her stern was almost submerged and the bow almost out of the water. The water-tight doors were quickly closed, but were stove in under the engine compartment, the largest of the ship
 After the first efforts to right her the ofil- cers feared sine might slide off because of the heavy sea, and therefore abandoned the attempt to save her. They hurried to the launch and boats and rowed away, prepared to fight for landing with two colt guns,

Thompson told of tine whole affair. He said he had the contract for burying the city dead of Memphis. For some time he had been selling the bodies to medical col- leges throughout this part of the country. His method was Ito pack them with excel- sior In drummer's sinz-ldned trunks and take them with him as baggage as far as St. Louis.
 From there he shipped the trunks to their destination by express. Thompson said he had been paid all the way from $50 to $20O per body. He said the name W. H. Ham, sen, to whom the trunks were consigned in Keekuk Is fictitious one but he. refused to state who his consignee really is.
 In the trunks taken today were the bodies of two men and boy, all negroes, and a white woman. From appearances they all died from consumption or some other vast ing disease. The white woman was evident ly some one of refinement. Her features are regular and her hair black. The front teeth are gold filled. All the bodies are Well preserved.

crack marksmen knocked the Filipinos from the trees like squirrels andthe Ameri- cans rushed on the trench leaving four dead insurgents there. The regiment then deployed under fire with Maj John A. To- gan's battalion in the center; Major Cro- nic's on the right and Major Marsh's on the left. The skirmsh line, which was a mile long, advanced rapidly, keeping up a con- stant fire. The Fiipinos made an unex- pectedly good stand, many of them remain ing under cover until the Americans were within twenty feet of them. Major Marsh f1anked small trench full of insurgents, surprising them and slaughtering nearly all of them before entering the town. The Gatling killed five of the force holding the bridge and swept the country beyond the town, driving 15O Filipinos into, the hills. Marsh's battalion entering the town first, captured flag which was flying over a convent.
 Rebels Retreated
 The insurgents are supposed to have re- treated towards Dagupan. It was impos- sible to pursue them, as the AmqSican troops were exhausted and their supply of ammunition was low. The outposts killed five of the hostiles during the night. The body Of the Filipino leutenant-colonel com- manding was found during the night.
 A proclama ton of the Filipino secretary of war was found in all the villages giving accounts of Filipino victories and saying 7,7O0 Americans had been killed and 14O00 wounded during the war. The dead and wounded were brought to Manila today The officers who are returning say it Is impossible for General Wheaton to attemp. a junction with General Young on account of the roads. Prisoners say it is reported that Aguinaldo, with an army estimated at 10000 (probably great eXaggeration), Is retiring toward Dagupan, intending to leave by railroad for the northwest Some of them said they believed the F'iliDinO army has passed the line intended by Gen. erals Wheaton and Young to be covered on Aguinaldo's rear, and that he passed San Fabian, going northwest, fortnight ago.
