REPORTS BY COUNTIES.

Denver, Colo, Nov. THE Republi-
Colorado points:
FL Paso County.
Colorado Springs, Nov. 6.-The cleo
ton in El Paso county was very quiet
and an unusually heavy vote was
polled, there being an especially heavy
labor vote between and o'clock this
evening.
Only nine out of forty three precincts
have been heard from, and County
Clerk Reed states that returns will not
he in before tomorrow forenoon. From
all the information mt hand it is prac-
tically certain that El Paso county will
give Mckinley from 1000 to $500 ma
jority in the county. Goudy will get II
plurality of about 1,SOO, while the Re
publican judicial and legislative candi-
dates will carry the county by about
1900.
In the outside precincts Republican
gains of from 10 to 10 per cent have
been made. Manitou gave Mckinley
100 majority and the Colorado City
vote was very close, but went Demo-
crauc by 1913.
In the local precincts some surprs-
ing Republican gains We're made and
several precincts went Republican
which were thought to be Democratic.
Regarding the local ticket, w. III. Fair
all, Republican candidate for county
commissioner, is elected. but there Is
some doubt regarding the rest of the
ticket. The Republican majority in the
nine precincts heard from amounts TO
3S7.
Thirteen out OF forty-threc precincts
of lei Paso county have been heard
from on straight tickets. They give Nc
Kinlcy 2,S7O, Bryan 1,1G5. There are
1910 scratched tickets to be counted.
Teller County.
Cripple Creek, Colo, Nov. 7.-Thc
election passed OF quietly throughout
Teller county. Not n disturbance oc-
CURED and fully eighty per cent. of the
registered vote was poled. The
weather was ideal, and ON account of
the heavy vote and the crowdlng of the
precincts, the detailed vote will not be
obtainable until morning.
Twcnty-four precincts out of fourty-
four gave i,9l5 straight Democratic
and 2,6S7 straight Republican, with
2,Ji2 scratched tickets. The few
precincts which have finished counting
indicate that the scratches are on local
candidates.
1t Is evident at midnight that Bryan
has carried the county by 1000. and
Orman's plurality will be but few
votes less.
Much of the scratching was on ju-
dicinl candidates aud was favorable TO
Judge Harris of Colorado Springs. But
the vote which went for him was so
divided ns against Seeds and Cumming
that II seems impossible for Harris to
secure II majority over either. The of
ficinl vote may make some change, but
the indications are that the FusIonists

PROF. SCHURMANN ANSWERS
SENIOR AGUINALDO'S AGENT

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 5.-Prof. Jacob
G. Schurmann, who passed through
this afternoon Ell route from the west
to Ithaca, furnishes the following re-
ply to an open lteter addressed to him
by Sixto Lopez, an agent of aguinaldo:
"Mr. Sixto LopeZs open letter of the
Sd inst, addressed to me, although
have not yet seen it except in the news
papers, is gratifying proof of the cor
rectness of the report of the Philippine
commission. Mr.. Lopez, by his decla-
rations, confirms all l have said of the
promising educational possibilities in
the Philippines and of the admirable
character of the educated Filipinos,
few though they are, who may be
taken as n type of the promise of the
future. Nor does Mr.. Lopez deny that
the masses of the inhabitants of the
Philippine islands of all tribes and
races, are uneducated and ignorant.
"FurthermOre, by silent acquiescence
in the report OF our committee, Mr.. Lo-
PEI acknowledges that the majority of
the Filipinos either desire American
sovereignty, as Is the case with the
men of educatlOa and property, or ac-
quiesce in it. oe are Indifferent to it,
and that the demand for independence
originated with the ambitious Tagalog
insurgent leaders, who have diffuSed it
with fire and sword, aided by atrocious
Misrepresentation of the aims and
purposes of the United States.
Lastly, Mr.. Lopez does not question
the finding of our commission that the
Inhabitants of the Philippine islands
are marked with great racial and tribal
differences, by immense varieties of So
cinl conditions which range all the way
from the civilization of Manila, down
through all phases of barbarism to the
naked savage of Mindanao and north
ern Luzon, by bewildering multiple
ity of languages which are mutually
unintelligible by dense ignorance on
the part of the masses of the people;
by the absence of union and concert

The st. Paul left Southampton and
Cherbourg October 24th with Il full
cargo, 34G cabin passengers and 245 in
the steerage
The accident occurred on Monday
last at about S p. IN, while some of the
saloon passengers were still at dinner
and others were promenading, sud
den shock was felt all over the ship
although it was not sufficiently severe
to cause panic. The engines were
stopped in a few minutes but it is said
that during that time the whirling ma
chinery, free of the weight of the pro-
peller, wrought havoc in the engine
room. The officials of the steamship
refused to allow anyone to enter the
engine room.
One of the engineers of the st. Paul
made the following statement tonight
1T will take five months to repair the
damage, which is TO the extent of from
$250,OO0 to 100000. The starboard en-
gine is n wreck The ship did not
strike derelict, but an unusually big
sea struck her, throwing her stern out
of the water, and the propellers, having
no resistance, made frightfully rapid
revolutions, which caused the STAR
board engine to race, and the starboard
tail shaft broke in two and with the
wheel fell into the water. The amount
of damage done is not surprising, when
you take into consideration the sudden
liberation of 10000 horse power.
-Four of the six cylinders are COM
pletely wrecked. two piston rods are
bent, one connecting rod is bent and
the starboard engine shaft is sprung
six inches. The starboard engine is
wrecked ebyond repair"

and the utter lack of the Idea and SEN
timent of nationality, and the absolute
inexperience of all classes in the affairs
of government, which Spain always
kept in Spanish hands.
And the consequence to be drawn
from all this is equally indisputable.
nor does Mr. Lopez seek to dispute it.
namely, that the various and diversi-
fled peoples of the Philippine islands
are at the present time Incapable of be-
ing considered as nation; they are ut
terly unfit to accept sovereignty over
the archipelago. even if the American
people wished to invest them with it;
nor have they any hope of ever becOm-
ing free and elf-governing nation.
except in the continuance of American
sovereignty over them, and in the
peace, prosperity and ever increasing
liberty of self-government which the
American flag guarantees them.
Pull down our flag and you leave
the Philippines n prey to Internal feuds
and domestic jrSurrectionS which
would quickly beSet anarchy. This
would necessitate the Intervention of
foreign powers for the protection of
the lives and property of their subjects.
OF course the islands would eventually
be divided up among them and the Fill
ipinOs would exchange the free institr-
tiOns and home rule which the Ameri-
can people desire, as soon as possible.

Imperialism of the old world emperors.

"It is the mission of our republic to
save the Filipinos, who in general are
most promising, estimable and even
lovable people, from this cruel fate.
and to train them up to the use of
free institutions and the noble work
of government, just as quickly and
as generously as they or any portion
of them can be induced to exercise Il
civic function so arduous and SO un-
accustomed"

Rush to Seek Pearls.

Prairie Du Chicn, Wis, Nov. 5.-Dis-
covery of pearls in the upper Misslssip-
pi river has caused II tremendous rush
to the clam beds. House boats are
crowding the river and more than 1000
persons are camped along the river
bank. The finding OF a few thousand
dollars worth of pearls started the
raid.
One of the pearls recently found, the
Allen pearl, weighed 100 grains and Is
said to be the largest perfect pearl yet
taken from the river. 1t was pur-
chased by William Moore of Comanche,
Iowa, who paid $1,000 for 1t.
