The race issue sprung by the demo-
Gratis has lost their candidate, o. A
LarraZolo many votes. and they now
claim but 25OO whereas it was $500 last
week.
The next legislature will be repub
lican and so will the majority of coun
ty officers. There are some splits and
dissensions both among the republi
cans and the democrats in several
county tickets.
Betting is to 8 that Rodey will car
ry the territory by from 1900 up. and
that the republicans will have a ma
jority in the next legislature.
The following counties are put down
as republican,: Santa Fe, San Miguel,
Rio Arriba, Bernalillo. Valencia. Dona
Ana; doubtful. Mora, Socorro The
rest democratic.
The Outlook In Texas.
Special d,spa.c TO The HERALD
SAN ANTONIO. Nov. 5-The last
demonstrations of the campaign of
nineteen hundred are over and the re-
suit of the ballots tomorrow is await
ed.
Texas is of course democratic as
| usual but not by such large majorities.
1t is certain that the democrats will
| elect the state ticket and all congress
men except perhaps in the tenth,
eleventh and twelfth districts They
| claim these but acknowledge that the
| republicans have fighting chance.
The republicans are confident of vic
! tory in these three districts. and there
will be no surprise if they win. Jones
Crouch and Drake are the respective
| nominees: they are popular and have
| made good fight.
The democrats are raising the cry
that republican candidates names are
being .,ilced in democratic tickets i'll
| many instances in these districts to
| mislead ignorant voters.

Ocean Steamer.
HE FACED DEATH
In His Brave Determination

NEW YORK. y. Y. Nov. Mari
time circles today are loud il their
praises of John Anderson. first assis-
tant engineer on the steamship St
Paul. which arrived here yesterday
with her starboard propeller and her
starboard engines destroyed. ADder-
son by quick wit and nerve saved eight
hundred lives and the 81. Paul from
certain destruction.
The steamship was racing along
when the starboard crank shat; gave
way and snapped or.
Released from the weight of the
shaft. the machinery. under heavy
steam pressure worked with terrific
speed.
Cylinder heads wer bleown of. piston
rods broken. and the snip was in imi-
nent danger OF having her side blown
out
Anderson treaded his way cody
through the clouds of steam and the
flying machinery. and shut of the
steam.
The steamship then proceeded with
her port engines.
Anderson was uninjured. The dam
age to the ST Paul is estimated at
500. 900. and it will take six months
to repair her.

PRETORIA. Nov. 5.-Lord Kitche-
ner is now in command in South Af-
rica Lord Roberts having gone to 10
hannesberg with his sick daughter. AS
soon as she becomes convalescent the
commander IN chief will proceed to
England
Kitchener has splendid opportunities
to distinguish himself. The Boer ac-
tivity has become serious in the west
Orange Free State, and unless il can
be restrained another campaign south
of the Vaal will be necessary. Up to
the present the British have been un-
able TO circumvent the guerrilla tac-
tics of the Beers.
Dewet is still the principal thorn in
the lions paw. Kitchener is already
awke to the military necessities of the
occasion. and has formulated a new
plan for dealing with the Beers.
