ELECTION IN MIME.
State Carried by the Republicans by
$4,000 Plurality.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 10.-The republi-
can voters elected their state ticket to-
day by a plurality over the democratic
candidate of over $4,000. The vote was
almost as large as four years ago, and
the returns up to 1880 p. m. compared
with 1896 showed republican losses of
about ten per cent, of democratic
gain of about eighteen per cent. The
report must be in a great measure graft
flying to both parties, the republicans
because they polled almost as large a
vote as in 1896 and to the democrats be-
cause of the heavy gains over that year.
While thousands of voters who in 1896
deserted the democratic ranks returned
to the fold to-day yet the republicans
We're able to make good most of the loss.
Charles Boutelle Of Bangor was again
elected by the republicans Of the Fourth
congressional district representative in

telle ran ahead of his ticket. There was

trict, Charles e. Littlefield, republican,

American and British Victims Probabi biy

| SHANGHAI, Sept. (Saturday)--J olln
! Goodnow, the United States consul gen
eral here, after inquiries in every possi-
BILE source, learns that the number of
British and American missionaries
probably murdered during the uprising
in China has been ninety-three, while
i ten others stationed at Chin Ii and
Shan ST provinces are unaccounted for
and there is reason for the belief that
they have met the same fate. OF those
whose deaths have been absolutely
proven twenty-five were Americans
eight men, eight women. six children,
end thirty-four were British, nine men,
fifteen women and ten children.
There Is strong proof that thirty-sev-
en- more We're killed at Tai Yuen. All
the natives from that place tell sub
stantally the same story. Ten men,
thirteen women and several children are
known to have been there. The list of
missing numbers: Americans, twenty
men, twenty-one women and twenty
children; British, forty-one men, forty
nine women and nineteen children
1t is impossible to get the number Of
CdtIoiiCS hllltu, buJ LutTb were MANY
French priests and sisters, and some
are in the country where the Russians
are fighting. There are also several
Swedish and Danish protestants. The
massacre and persecution of Chinese
Christians continues everywhere and 1t
is said the anti-fcraign leaders intend
to exterminate them
Literati and minor officials are send
ing memorials to the dowager empress
thanking her for ridding the country of
foreigners
All the information coming from the
interior is that except in those parts of
the country which the foreign troops
occupy the people believe that the en-
press has won great victories and driv-
en- out the foreigners. 1t is asserted
they will continue to think so until The
foreigners, who were compelled to leave
are able to return. and conspicuous pun
ishments are inflicted in retaliation for
those who were killed.

miles an hour, chief cause of damage
Poorly constructed buildings would col

great; all provisions, except canned
goods, scarce Greatest loss of life Is

RETURN OF Il RELIEF TRAIN.
Could Not Get to Galveston "A bout 200
Corpses Counted.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Professor
Moore, chief of the weather bureau, re-
ceived the following telegram to-day
from G. L. Vaughan, manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company at
Houston, Texas, and read as follows:
"First news from Galveston just re-
ceived by train which could get no
closer to the bay shore than six miles
which practically was strewn with
debris and dead bodies. About 200
corpees counted from train. Large
steamship stranded two miles inland.
Nothing could be seen of Galveston.
Loss of life and property undoubtedly
most appalling. Weather clear and
bright here with gentle southeast
wind"
II fear" said Chief Moore, that we
have not yet begun to get an idea of
the loss of life, not only at Galveston,
but along the gulf coast generally. The
telegram from MI Vaughan indicates
that the waters from the gulf approach
six miles inward. The sudden pass
age of the storm, permitted | am
afraid, this water to recede rapidly and
in such case no one can estimate the
damage to life and property done l
heartily trust my fears are ground

New Haven Baseball Team.

The game at Savin Rock yesterday
closed the baseball season for the New
Haven team. The 'pennant' goes to
Norwich, and it is universally admitted
that the team won it fairly. The New
Haven team would have won first in
stead of second place undoubtedly, had
it not been for the misfortunes which
Manager Canavan met in his quest for
players earlier in the season, Fooled at
almost every hand in his efforts to
strengthen the team, trying to play
good ball in the face of obstacles, it is
a wonder how he finally managed to
evolve the team he did. When finally
the team was picked out the support
of the public had diminished some
what, yet In spite of this the team set
tied right down and played such fast
ball that bridgeport, which seemed to
be an excellent possibility for first
place, was overhauled and passed in a
manner to excite wonder Considering
these things it will be perceived to
what share of the honor New Haven is
entitled in finishing second. 1t is a GER
tainty that with Canavan as manager
again next year New Haven will have
the strongest team ever played here.
Many of the players left last evening
for their homes, where they will either
engage in business or play polo during
the winter. Duff and Freil left for
Providence, although the latter will
later go to his home in Renova, Penn,
where he will attend Niaraga college.
Cusick and Battam will go to their
homes in Brooklyn and Fitznaurice
will go to Worcester. Vollendorf, Ashe,
Bone and Canavan will remain in this
city, where the latter two will play
polo.

| Il have been deputized by the mayor
and citizens committee of Galveston
to inform you that the city of Calves
! ton is in ruins and certainly many hun
dreds, if not a thousand, are dead. The
tragedy is one of the most frightful in
recent times. Help must be given by
the state and nation, or the suffering
will be appalling. Food, clothing and
money will be needed at once. The
whole south side of the city for three
blocks in front of the gulf is swept clear
of every building. The whole wharf
front is a wreck, and but few houses
in the city are really nabitabe The
water supply is cut off and the food
stock is damaged by salt water. All
bridges are washed away and stranded
steamers litter the bay. When l left
this morning the search for bodies had
begun-corpses We're everywhere; tenn
pest blew eightyfour miles an hour and
then carried government instruments
away. At the same time waters of the
gulf were over the whole city having
risen twelve feet. Water has now sub
sided and the survivors are left helpless
among the wreckage, cut off from the
world, except by boat.

the effect that the Hill forces have been
