IN QUAY'S STATE.
Both Parties Claim Victory for
Their Respective Tickets.

Both Parties Claim Victory for
Their Respective Tickets.
Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-After weeks of
campaigning the orators and party
workers have finished their labors and
both sides await the issue on Tuesday.
Senator Quay. chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee. left here to-
day for his home in Beaver, Pa. He
has prepared an estimate of the vote
based upon reports from important
points throughout the state, but will
not make it public until tomorrow.
Local Democratic leaders estimate
for ex-Gov. r. +. Pattison, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor. an ag-
gregate of 10000 votes in this city.
They express confidence that this will
elect their state ticket, figuring that
Pattison will have a majority in the
state, outside of this city equal to the
vote here.
The general impression derived from
the claims of political leaders is that
there is much doubt concerning the
state ticket.
OF the thirty-two congressman 20
be elected, the Democrats claim they
will have at least seven. 1t is under
stood that Senator Quay expects Pen
nypacker, Republican candidate for
Governor, to win by over 100 900 ma
jority, but the leaders on the other
side say the harmony now existing in
the Democratic party throughout the
state will render this impossible.

THE SANTA MARIA.
Volcano Causes Great Damage but
No Loss of Life.

Tapachutla, State of Chiapas, Mexi-
co. Nov. 2.-Growers on neighboring
haciendas will suffer great loss owing
to the fact that their stock cannot
procure food, the fields being covered
with ashes from the Santa Maria vol
cano. The brooks are checked with
ashes and cinders and all the neigh
boring roads are covered thick with
ashes and cinders.
1t begins to be seen that the coffee
planters will come off better than the
stock raisers. Diligent investigation
shows that there was no loss of life
during the recent disturbances, though
what may have happened near the vol
cano in Guatemala is not known here.
The people are beginning to regain
confidence, though their experience
was a terrible one. One house only
was damaged during the earthquake.
Reports from towns across the Qua
temala border shows that the alarm
was intense, everybody fearing sim
liar fate as befell the people in Mar
Unique and st. Vincent. What most
impressed every one was the darkness
which prevailed for more than two
days.
Government experts are studying
the effect of the volcanic eruption and
will soon make a report.

SUNK SPANISH STEAMER.
MIdsen Collision Results in Fear
full Loss Of Life.


London. Nov. 1.-The British steamer
ST. Regulus. Capt. McMullen, from
Shields for Alexandria, has put in at
Gravesend. She reports having col
lided with and sunk the Spanish
steamer Enero, Capt, Delgado. from
Huelva, Spain, oct -. With the eX-
ception of three members, the crew or
the Enero were drowned. The accident
occurred Friday night off Dungeness.
The Enero was an iron steamer OF
1892 tons net register. She was 2SZ
feet long. and was built in 1898 at
Newcastle on-Tyne. She was owned by
the Comragnia Bilbania de Naviga-
cion of Bilbao.
The captain of the st. Regulus says
that when his vessel struck the Enero
he gave the order for full speed ahead
with the idea of keeping the two YES
sells locked together and thus enabling
the crew of the Spanish ship to board
the st. Regulus, but either they were
too greatly alarmed to do so or they
failed to understand his purpose and
instead of climbing on board the Brit
ish ship they tried to lower a boat with
the result that a number were thrown
into the sea and drowned. The Enero
sank in a few minutes. The explosion
of her boilers probably killed many
others of her crew.
The st. Regulus was badly damaged,
a large hole being stove in her stem.

Devastated BY Fire.

st. Johns, N. F., Nov. 2.-The town
of ST. Pierre, Miquelon, has been de-
vastated by fire. The main portion
of the town has been destroyed. There
was no loss of life( but the damages
will probably reach S500000.
The con1agration started last night
and. swept the main portion of the
town. The governors house. the gov
eminent building, and court house, the
building occupied by the ministry of
marine, the Roman Catholic Cathedral,
the presbytery, the schools and num-
Der of other buildings were destroyed.
It has not yet been learned how
the fire originated. There was no wind
last night else the entire town prob
ably would have been completely oblit-
Grated. The rapid spread of the con-
fiagration was due to the trifiing wa
ter supply and to the fact that st.
Pierre has no adequate fire. fighting

Campaign Against AddicIss.

Dover, Del, Nov 1.-The Democratic
and regular Republican leaders con-
tend that j. Edward Addicks will be
unable to control the next Legislature,
which elects two United States sena-
tors. The campaign has been con-
Quoted in an effort to prevent Addicks'
domination of the assembly. The Re-
publican factions have united for State
Treasurer and Auditor of Accounts,
and their election is probable. Each
faction has a congressional candidate,
which is expected to insure the cleo
ton of Henry A Houston, the Demo-
cratic nominee. The situation regard
ing the legislative contests seems to
be a question whether the combina-
lions effected in various districts be-
tween the Republican factions will give
them or the Democrats control.

ALLEGED ILLEGAL VOTERS.
Injunction Against CertihcatiOn of
Nearly 1,UOO Names.

Denver, Col. Nov. 2.-Interest to-
night in the coming election centers
around the injunction issued by Dis
trict Judge Johnson against Clerk
Aichele of this county, restraining him
from certifying to the judges of cleo
ton something like 900 registered
names, alleged to be those of persons
not legal voters. Attorneys for Mr..
Aiechele will apply to the Supreme
Court for a writ of prohibition, which,
if granted, will make the injunction
imperative. This. it is expected, will
bring forth a decision as to the right
of a district judge to issue such an
injunction at the prayer of one politi-
cal party. Clerk Aichelle, who was
elected to his office on the Democratic
ticket, declared that a number of the
names included in the injunction are
personally known to him to be legal
voters, and to have been legally regis
tered.

1.-TWO PRESIDENTS"

French Paper Compares Roosevelt
with Loubet to Lntter's Detriment.
Paris, Now 2.--In an article head
ed, 1.-TWO Presidents" La Patrie to-
night compared President Roosevelt
with President Loubet. Referring to
the French and United States coal
strikes the paper says the energAtic
measures adopted by President RooSe-
welt brought the American strike to
an end and declares that President
Loubet was confronted by conditions
exactly the same as those Mr.. Roose-
welt dealt with, but that the Presi-
dent of France remained passive, with
the result that the French strike con-
tinues, amid misery and loss.
The paper draws the conclusion that
the American President, who is elected
by the people, represents the people,
whereas the President of France waits
the slow process of Parliament, and
that the French people suffer from
the reign of parliamentarism.

French COnI Strike Reaching Amer
lean Method of Settlement.
Lille. France. Nov. "A meeting
was held here to-day between delegates
of the coal companies and the striking
coal miners in the department du Nord.
Failing to come to an agreement it
was decided to refer the question of
an increase in the miners wages to
arbitration. The representatives of the
companies said their principals were
prepared to make pension proposals
similar to those advanced by the coal
companies in the Pas de Calais dis
trict, but the miners having persisted
in their demand for arbitration the
companies reserved their pension pro-
posals until after the decision of the
arbtrators is made known.
The proposals from the Pas de Calais
companies referred to in the above
dispatch were to establish a system of
pensions by which a miner aged So,
having served the same company 30
years, would get a pension of $120, and
a miner having worked with different
companies in the Pas de Calais dis
trict for thirty years a pension of $40.

MOHAMMEDANS AT PRAYER
They Always Respond When the
~ Voice of the Muezzin Calls.

sfhe Mohammedan begins his prayer
standing, with his hands Outspread
and his thumbs touching the lobes OF
his ears In this position he repeats
certain passages from the Koran, then
brings his hands down to his girdle,
folds them and recites several other
passages from the same book. Next he
bends forward, rests both hands upon
his knees and repeats three times with
bowed head the formula of prayer to
God, the most great. Then he rises and
cries, Allah hu akbar" God is great
sixteen times.
He then drops forward until his fore
head touches the ground between his
extended hands. He strikes his head
upon the floor at least three times, pro.
claiming his humility, and often doz-
en- and sometimes twenty times the act
will be repeated, according to his de-
sire to show humility and repentance.
He then returns to his knees and, set
Ting back upon his heels, repeats
ritual. Next, arising to his feet, he
UOluS HIS udlNS am NOAAN1uANI 'AAN
prayer, repeating over and again the
words, "There is no god but God, and
Aobammed is his prophet. IS"
This may be repeated once or dozen
or forty times, according to the piety
of the worshiper, and he holds string
of beads in his hands to keep tally. His
obligations are then accomplished, but
be can go through the same ritual
again as many times as he likes. The
more frequently he does so the better
Noslem he is. His piety is measured
by the number Of times he repeats his
prayers, and, like the Pharisees OF the
Scriptures, he prays in public places
No matter where he happens to be OF
BY whom he is surrounded, whether al
labor in the fields or selling goods II
his shop or however he may be EN-
| ployed, the Mussulman never forgetS
to pray when the voice of the muezzi1
reminds him that the hour for devotion
has arrived.
