votes were thrown out "for various
reasons, principally because they bore
the name John H. Flanagan All
the tickets bearing Mr. Hynes' name
were counted.
Attorney J. A. Peasley was next
sworn. He testified that he was
moderator in the second ward at the
recent town election and that the 138
votes, above referred to were rejected
because they were not pasted" Two
tickets bearing Flanagan's pastors
over -Hynes' name were allowed.
Attorney O'Neill said that from this
1T was evident the question resolved
itself back upon the manner of the
nomination Of Flanagan. But this
was not sufficient for an order to open
the boxes yet
Attorney Root held that inasmuch
as the ballots bearing his clients pas
terS Were counted it was sufficient to
show prima facie case; the boxes;
ought to be opened to see If the tick
cts that were rejected did not bear
his pastors.
Attorney O'NeilI maintained that the
way to opening the boxes was still
blocked; that two tickets bearing
Flanagan's pastors were allowed and
those bearing his name rejected,
showing that the officials merely lid
their duty. The court ordered that
the best evidence was evidently in the
box. Then it transpired that during
recess Town Clerk Brett had refused
TO give up the ballot box without an
order of the court. The box in cues
tion was the second ward box. The
court issued the necessary order ana
the boxes Of all the wards were in
cluded. Attorneys J. j. O'NeiIl ana
John FL. Cassidy were appointed coun- ,
ters, whereupon Mr. Brett departed for
the boxes.
They were produced in court after
half an hours delay, and it being found
that they were undisturbed while IN
the custody of the town clerk. the first
ward box was opened and the counters
began their work. Neither Of the con-
testants were present There were
about 1900 votes cast at the election
in question, but the count will refer
only to the office in dispute.

DETAILS OF ERUPTION.
Show That There Was Little Loss Of
Life at Guatemala.

New York, Nov "Details of the re-
cent eruption Of the Santa Maria VOL
cano show that there was little loss
Of life, says a Herald dispatch from
Guatemala City, Guatemala. When
the earthquake shocks began the day
before the eruption the inhabitants Of
the surrounding country fed, leaving
about all of their possessions behind.
The country for a radius of fifteen
miles around the volcano is covered
with stones and ashes several feet
deep. Fully 100000 mules, cattle and
sheep perished
Many houses were burned. The
,great coffee crop, which was ready
for picking, was completely destroyed,
and so also were many coffee trees.
A second crater has been formed on
the side of the volcano. A strong
odor of sulphur permeatcd the atmos-
phere for a radius of seventy miles
The explosions and earthquake
shocks continued four days and were
heard and felt all over the republic.

COUNTING THE BALLOTS TO-DAY.
In ynesanagan ConeJudgc Shumway Appeared Here Ready
to Try the Case-Root, for Flanagan, Wanted Delay,
But Case Went on-Judge Shumway Want
ed Evidence Before Order
Recount
ing a Recount.

The election contest between James
A. Hynes and John III. Flanagan was
given hearing by Judge Shumway in
the superior court here to-day. 1t was
not expected that a hearing would
take place to-day and Attorney Root,
counsel for Flanagan, stated as much
to the court. He said that lie was
hardly prepared to go ahead inasmuch
as he was unable to find his witnesses,
many OF whom We're officials in the
election yesterday and on that account
We're up to a late hour last night. He
had agreed, he said, with counsel to let
the matter go over for reassignment.
Then he added that in his petition for
hearing he would ask that the ballot
'DoX IN one ward be opened and a re-
count in that ward be taken. for the
town clerks record does not show for
whom certain number of ballots were
cast, and it was his object toNascertain
because he had good reason to believe
fhey We're cast for his client. Attorney
Root said he did not know if the court
cared to preside at the recount.
In reply Attorney O'Neill said lie
doubted if the question would turn on
recount. lie had not examined his
case to that extent. In his estimation
the question turned about the method
of Flanagan's nomination. He did not
think he was properly nominated. Of
course If he was properly nominated
then the question of a recount might
present itself. But it all turned upon
the manner of his nomination
Judge ShumWay said he could hard
~ order a recount without having some
evidence first
Attorney Root replied that 1t was for
the court to determine for whom these
certain ballots in the box alluded to
We're cast. The recount would deter
mine who they were cast for and the
recount would also admit the question
Of the manner of Flanagan's nomina-
tion. 1t was then determined to have
as many witnesses as possible and also

WHALERS DIFFICULTIES.
Trading Privileges Are Leased to d
Hamburg Company.

HdHDuTS GOlHpdHy.
New York, Nov According to a
story brought by Captain Montgom-
cry Of the whaling bark Alice
Knowles, says. Herald dispatch
from San Francisco, considerable diff
iculty is being experienced by the
whalers in securing supplies in the
Caroline groups The islands are
ruled by German governor, but the
trading privileges are leased to Ham
burg company and foreign vessels are,
according to Captain Montgomery,
not welcomed.
The Alice Knowles left San Francis
co on November 81, 1901, and like all
of the whaling fleet steered for the
south seas. When the Caroline group
was reached Captain Montgomery
made the request that he be allowed to
trade potatoes for a supply of water
and firewood. The request is said to
have met a fat refusal from the act
ing German governor, who, it is al
legged, ordered the captain to go else
where in search of water. The Yam
kee skipper declared that he would re-
main at the islands until a water sup
ply was procured, If he had to stay
there year, and said he would report
the matter to the American govern
ment. The captain says he was then
permitted to take on water, but was
warned not to come back.

ists.) It may require the complete re-
turns to decide.

Seattle. Wash. Nov 5.-The republic
cans have carried the state of Wash
ington by majority that may run as
high as 1900. The democratic state
committee does not claim the election
of any of it's state ticket, though in
sisting that the meagre returns re-
ceived justify the belief that there is
a chance for democratic control Of the
state legislature. Chairman Morris
of the republican committee holds
that the republicans will have a ma
jority on joint ballot of fully 40.
The returns so far received seem to
justify the claim of a large republican
majority in both branches of the leg
islature. 1t is likely that Judge Hi
ram d. Hadley, nominee for justice of
the supreme court, will lead the re-
publican state ticket. The three
congressional nominees will run very
close.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Nov 5.-There
were no serious disorders anywhere in
Porto Rico yesterday. The election re-
suited in a sweeping republican vic
tory and passed off quietly. This was
largely due to the fact that Governor
Hunt sent twenty-five special represen-
tatives, covering the whole island, with
plenary powers to adjust differences
summarily. Federico Degetau was re-
elected resident commissioner at Wash
ington by a large majority.
The federals have ten candidates in
the legislature and the republicans
twenty-five.
In most of the turbulent districts and
cities, Guiana, Cayey, San Lorenzo,
Aibonfto and Others, the federals,
through intimidation abstained entire
" from voting and lost five delegates
to the legislature. Fraud was charged
every where and the government has
promised prompt prosecutions.
