The estimates made by the citizens OF
Galveston was that four Thousand houses

by the hurricane, the wind blowing at
the rate of eighty miles an hour straight
from the gulf and forcing the sea water
before it in big waves. The gale was
steady one, the heart OF it striking the
city about 5 o'clock yesterday evening
and continuing without intermission un
til midnight last night. when it abated
although it continued to blow

THURSDAY NIGHT, SEPT. 73.
SENSATIONAL INCIDENT
Col. White Steals a March on His
Opponents Calamity Follow
ed up By Wr. Allison
A La Paul Revere.

One of the most sensational incidents
connected with a political fight, which
has occurred in the history OF politics on
the western slope took place at Mont
rose Saturday night.
After the convention adjourned, which
placed in nomination the several cand-
didates for Judge and district attorney,
it was heralded around the hotel lobby
that special train would soon be at the
depot to carry the delegates back to
Grand Junction. This news sent the
crowd down to the depot. A train did
arrive at Montrose about $50 o'clock,
but it was not to convey the delegates
back to this city. 1t had evidently
been ordered as a special train for some
one but it was headed toward Denver.
At about $3.50 p. m Chairman White OF
the Mesa county central committee got
aboard the cars, which already contain
ed several of the San Miguel delegation
and the train started toward Denver.
The maneuver was 80 quickly done
that the opposition hardly understood
toward the capital city and then it dawn
ed upon them that the tram had been
secured to transport those who had
charge Of the credentials and the ticket
nominated by the Gerry forces to file
with the secretary Of state.
When it was understood the Stevens
faction at once got ready to start a cour-
ier across country in an endeavor to in
tercept one OF the broad guags trains.
M. L. Allison was selected as the cour-
ier and he made ride in n wagon, in
stead of on horseback from Montrose to
this city distance of 72 miles, reaching
here just few minutes before the train
pulled out, the east bound train Sunday
morning being about one hour late.
The ride was a la Paul Revere, only
that no one was awakened by the quick
ening footsteps OF the horses and Mr..
Allison did not bestride horse but rode
in a wagon.
The episode was the talk of the streets
last night and both the principals had
their admirers, Col. White for his astute
maneuvering and Mr.. Allison for his
gallant chase to reach the train.
However nothing much could be gained
by either one Of the gentlemen reaching
Denver yesterday. The state offices
were closed and nothing could be died
in an official manner. Had tho conven-
ton occurred any other day save Satur-
day, the move of Chairman White would
have permitted his credentials being
filed before those OF Mr. Allison.

The Judicial Convention.

The judicial convention at Montrose
Saturday, from tho best information the
Sentinel can obtain, was almost coun-
terpart OF the county convention of Mesa
county.
Two conventions were organized and
they both held forth in the opera house.
AS was stated in The Sentinel Saturday
night, Omland Of Ouray was chairman
Of the Stevens forces, while Taylor OF
San Miguel acted for the Gerry forces.
There were some bitter clashes and
much hard feeling was engendered by
the severe strife.
The Stevens faction Of the convention
placed in nomination Judge Theron
Stevens for Judge Of this district and
Samuel g. McMullin for district at
torney.
The Gerry forces nominated Judge
Gerry for Judge and John T. Barnett, OF
Oursy for district attorney.

Most Important of Great List of American
Railway Bankruptcies is Ended.
st. Paul, Nov. 9.-Walter III. Sam
born, United States circuit judge,
made an order yesterday approving the
final report of the receivers of the
Union Pacific railway and finally dis
charging them. The receivership
which has been thus closed was on ac-
count of it's complications and inter-
ests involved the most important in
the great list of American railway
bankruptcies. When it was COM
menced, Oct. 13, 1898, the Union Pa
cific system included s, S,165 miles of rail
lines owned or leased and operated,
representing capitalization of stock
and bonds of $47O,OOO,0OO. After
Judge Sanborn assumed control Of this
case early in 1894 the receivers handled
without loss, under his orders, moneys
amounting to $1O6,OOO,OOO. The claim
of the United States on the Union Pa
cific proper Of $5S,OOO,OOO principal and
accrued interest was paid in full and
unsecured creditors were paid from
various sources about 40 per cent Of
their claims.

MAJORITY FOR DockERY.
Democratic Plurality In Missouri will
Be $4,000,


st. Louis, Nov. 9.-Based upon re-
turns from S5 counties, the Democrat
ic state central committee now claims
Missouri for Bryan and Dockery, for
governor, by pluralities of aE1ut 49,
600 and $4,000 respectively. The 20
counties still to be heard from may de-
velop some surprises, but it is not
thought that these estimates will be
materially changed.
Chairman Atkins of the Republican
state committee conceded these figures,
but later on the receipt of the news
from additional counties, changed his
estimate. placing Dockery's plurality
nt 25,O0O and Bryan's at 10000.
While the Democrats confidently
claim a majority of so or so on joint
ballot in the legislature, Mr.. Atkins
says that their majority will not be
over Is or 20. He comedies, however,
on the face of the returns now at hand,
that the Democrats will have major
ity. The two Worlds fair constitu-
tional amendments were successful by
Overwhelming majorities.

louisville, Nov. 9.-This morning the
Courier-Journal, with returns from all
but II of the 1884 precincts in Ken
lucky, puts Bryan's majority at 1880
and Beckham's at ALSO. These II pre-
cincts are sparsely setteld and gave
in the last state election combined Re
publican majorities of less than 500.
John w. Yerkes (Rep), candidate for
governor left last night for his home

Louisville, Nov. 9-With returns
from all but 80 out of 1854 precincts
the Courier-Journal puts Bryan's ma
jority at 5000 and Beckham's at 5000.
The missing precincts have been taken
into account in this result. The Re-
publicans now claim that majorities
will be shown for Mckinley and YER
kes when the returning board can
vases the vote at Frankfort, which
it will do three weeks from election
day. The returning board is Demo-
cratic and the legislature is also Dem
ocratic. Ex-Governor James B. Nc
Creary, who managed the Democratic
campaign, closed the headquarters
last night.
He said that he had heard from cam
paign chairmen in every county in the
state and that allowing all the Repub
leans claims in the Eleventh district,
he placed the majorities of Bryan and
Beckham respectively at 5000 and
5000

ton is very close. 1t will not concede
the defeat of Yekres and the McKin-
ley electors and says that the official
count only can determine the result
Chairman Combs of the Republican
state campaign committee was quoted
as follows: while we have not the
figures thoroughly compiled. yet we are
certain that Mr.. Yerkes carried Ken

that it will probably require the Off

BIENNIAL ELECTIONS.
Voters of Iowa Decide to Amend the State
Constitution--Comple Returns
From Every County.

Des Moines, Nov. 9.-Returns from
40 counties, all that can be secured be-
fore the official count, show that the
constitutional amendment providing
for holding biennial instead of annual
elections in Iowa, has undoubtedly
been adopted by 25,OOO plurality. An
interesting feature of the result is that
the state is likely to find itself with
a constitutional convention on its
hands without any particular use for
one. The constitution requires that
the question, ''Shall there be conven-
tion to revise the constitution" be sub
mitted this year, but there has been no
agitation in the press or otherwise for
the convention. 1t was taken for
granted by state officers and political
managers that is would be voted down.
Voters generally, however, assumed
that tAe proposition for a convention
was in some way connected with the
biennial election amendment and voted
Yes" or mo" on the two propositions,
in accordance with their views on BIZ
ennial elections. Che vote on both
propositions was small.
Returns from every county in the
state, which will not be materially
changed by the official count, make the
vote for Mckinley electors 306, ,24O. for
Bryan electors 2O7,16S Republican
plurality 99,O72.
