Ships Treasure Chambers.

The specie room on the ocean steam
ship is a very important institution. It
is located in an out of the way place
amidships, under the saloon. Few Of
the passengers know Of it's existence
or Of the valuable treasure that is car
ried across the ocean with them. The
room varies ON different ships, but is
usually about sixteen feet long by ten
wide and eight feet high. 1t is con-
structed of steel plates one-fourth inch
thick and strongly rtveted together. The
floor, the ceiling and the walls are also
made Of steel plates. There is a heavy
door, also made of steel. It is provid-
ed with variety of combination lock
that is said to be burglar proof. The
gold and silver are usually in bars, but
occasionally quantity of coin in bags
is shipped.

The whistl,ne Toad.

In the Caribbean islands there is a
toad that whistles. The creature is
common to the mountains, INDUCES in
its musical practice mostly at night,
and woe to the person who tries to
sleep in it's vicinity. Nine. Toad perches
on top Of a tree fern close to your
window and begins her serenade. She
whistles couple Of hundred -stapzas

Travellers who have experienced the
music of the whistling toad say that

Gated by Total Vote.
INTERESTING FIGURES
The Democratic Strength Lies Not in
the Pecos Valley But in the
Spanish Speaking Counties.

From the election returns in Presi-
Dental year, statisticians are accustom-
ed to estimate population by multiply
ing the vote cast by five. This method
applied to New Mexico returns would
give the population of the Territory as
216,000. This is probably too low, for
in New Mexico, owing to the great dis
tance that many people must travel to
their polling place, and because the ex-
citing features of a Presidential cam
paign have but remote influence up
on Territorial elections, the full vote is
never brought out, although this year
a heavier vote was cast in the Terri
tory than ever before, and with the ex-
ception of few counties, a larger per
centage of the total vote than ever be-
fore was polled. However, multiplying
the vote cast by six will probably yield
the population figures, at least, the
true figures lie between the multipliers
of five and six. This would give the
population of New Mexico, upon a lib
eral estimate, as 259,000, over one
ninth of whom dwell in San Miguel
County with population Of 29,300,
Bernalillo coming second and Rio Ar
riba third with Santa Fe sixth. The
population Of each county, multiplying
the vote cast for delegate to Congress
this month by six, is as follows:

Unsuccessful.

New York, Nov. 21. - The steamer
Sicilian Prince, which went ashore
four miles west of the life station at
Long Beach, Long Island, at o'clock
Sunday morning, now lies hard on the
beach. This morning the steamer
moved two lengths in shore. The sea
increased steadily and tugs which had
been endeavoring to float the steamer
abandoned the attempt for the time be-
ing. Soon after the tugs steamed away
the liner swung halfway around and
now lies with it's broadside exposed to
the sea. All passengers on the vessel
were taken off today and brought up to
this city on tugs. During the fore
noon the wind hauled off shore, the sea
began to moderate and conditions for
floating the steamer have improved.

General Attack on Port Arthur...heavy
Re.enforcements for Nogi.-.Quiet

Toxic, Nov. 21.-The navy depart
ment reports the capture of the Ger
man steamer Batelan, while attempting
to run the Port Arthur blockade. The
department says that at a. m. Novem
Der 18th the Japanese squadron
sighted vessel steaming for Port Ar.
thur. The gunboat Tatsu pursued and
ing. On board the vessel was found
a great quantity of winter clothing,
blankets, medicines and corned meats.
The ships captain said he was bound
for New Chwang. The route and car
go of the Batelan were considered sus-
picious and the vessel was taken pos
ession of and brought to Sasebo.
Late Operations at Port Arthur.
Che Foo, Nov. 21.-A Japanese Off
cial, among the latest arrivals from
Dalny, states that the general attack on
Port Arthur has been resumed. Ru-
mors to that effect have arisen in Dal-
ny because fresh troops, including the
Eleventh division, which recently land
ed, are being sent to the front. 1t is
believed that the explosion which took
place on November 18th occurred in
some counter tunneling work. The
second explosion, which was heard No
vember 10Th was much heavier and 1t
is reported on the best authority that
it was due to the blowing up of Rus
sian magazine. 1t is expected that the
next attack on Port Arthur will be a
tremendous affair. More reinforce
ments are coming to the support of
General Nogi than those dispatched to
Marshal Oyama. The Japanese are
now constructing coast defense forts
at Pigeon Bay, which is taken as an in.
dication they expect to be defending
Port Arthur themselves some day.
No Fighting Around Mukden.
Mukden, Nov. 21.-The anticipated
attack by the Japanese has not been de-
veloped as yet. The uncertainty OF the
present situation gives rise to conflict
ing rumors and speculation regarding
future operations. Some expect the
Japanese to attempt wide flanking
movement on Tie Pass, and others
claim that the armies will practically
winter in their present positions. Com
plete inactivity prevails. The nights
are growing colder and fuel scarcer.
Crowds of Chinese are wandering over
the fields and roads, picking up every
thing that is combustible. even roots
of Chinese corn.
Japanese Attack Failed.
Mukden, Nov. 21.-Since the Japan
ese failed in the attack which they
made on Poutiloff Hill November 18th.
the old order of affairs has been resum-
ed. There are frequent skirmishes.
particularly in the vicinity of the Rus
sian center, where both sides have
daily clashed. There was an exchange
of artillery fire during the greater part
of November goth. 1t appears that the
affair of November 18th was a recon-
Nuisance in force and that had it been
successful. it was to be followed by a
general attack. The japanese got

back. They left over hundred dead
on the field.

While San Miguel gave the heaviest
Democratic vote. it also gave the larg-
est Republican vote, Rio Arriba COM
ing second and Valencia third, with
Colfax a close fourth. 1t is erroneous
to suppose that the counties giving the
largest majorities are the most essen
tial in campaign. Had no Republican
votes been cast in San Miguel, Colfax
and Santa Fe Counties, all three con-
sidered doubtful before election day,

1t is folly to believe that the heavy
Democratic vote comes from the Pecos
Valley, or as the Democratic politicians
often brag, from the English-speaking
counties. Almost one-third of the total
Democratic vote comes from the Span
ish-speaking counties of San Miguel,
Santa Fe, Mora and Socorro. San Mi
guel County alone cast more Democrat
ic votes than Chaves, Eddy, Roosevelt
and Mckinley Counties, all English
speaking, together. In proportion to
population, Roosevelt is the most
Democratic Of New Mexico Counties,
for it gave SO per cent of its vote to
George P. Money; Eddy County gave
6S per cent; Chaves County ga per
cent, and Luna only SO per cent. The
following was the Democratic vote, by
