p M, there had been II districts COM
rletec during the afternoon session. New
shoreham being the last place completed.
Garvin lost two votes In Jamestown and
Utter gained one giving him a plurality
of three.
The first district OF Johnston showed a
loss OF four for Garvin and a gain of one
for Utter giving the latter net gain of
FIVE. as Garvin lost one and Utter gained
one in the next district Utter also made
a net gain of two.
There was loss Of two for Garvln and
no change for his opponent In the first
district OF Lincoln. which gave Utter a
net gain of two but In the second dis
tiict Utter gained IA votes. This was
caused by the reduction of Garvin's vote
from los to 30 and a gain OF fivo for Ut
ter whose vote was los.
The count Of 45 for Garvin was found to
be correct In the third district but Utter
lost IL votes bringing him down TO 136 and
the net gain went to the governor.
Gov. Garvin received 307 votes in the
fourth district which was a gain of two
and as Utters total of 1872 was a reduc-
ton OF three, there was a net gain OF five
for Garvin.

in the plurality.

Utter gained one, giving the latter net
gain of four.
This gave Utter a plurality OF is21 for
the districts counted up to this time,
which compared to the plurality for the
corresponding districts In the wardens
count. giving a plurality Of 1918 for Utter
shows that he has made a net gain OF

UNION OF PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCHES Is NOW ASSURED

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 19.-The committee
on church co-operat ation and union Of
the Presbyterian church Of the United
States and the committee on fraternity
and union of the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian church to-day unanimously adopt
ed an agreement as a basis of the
union of the two churches. 1t is in the
shape of a report to the general assem-
blies Of the churches and must be rati-
fed by both these bodies before it be-
comes operative. Both general assem-
blies will meet on May 19, the Presbyte-
rian at Buffalo and the Cumberland at
Dallas. Texas The action of these
committees if ratified by the general
assemblies viii make the Presbyterian
church national in character, with a
membership approximating !. 1.250 600. 1t
is recommended that the united
churches shall be known as the Presby-
terian church in the United States of
America. The union shall be effected
on the doctrinal basis Of the confession
of faith of the Presbyterian church in
the United States as revised in 1908,
and of the other dOctrinal and ecclesi-
astical standards. The various Presby-
teries will vote on the proposed basis
of union and submit their decision to
the respective assemblies.

off Mile Rock at about 1870 O'Clock this
morning.
The SDreckels TugbOat Company i'm

immediate danger of her destruction.
The live-saving station also launched a

Owing to the dense fog that prevailed
ia the vicinity Of the distressed ship
it was impossible to ascertain her
name, but it is believed that she may
be one of the following vessels
that are due to arrive at this port:
Bark Annie Johnson. Honolulu; George
Curtis, Honolulu; British ship Hale
wood. Antwerp; American ship 5. 3.
Carleton, Newcastle, or the ship Henry
Failing, from Newcastle.
Though these vessels are all expected
to arrive at any time, il is more than
likely that the vessel that signaled for
aid last night is the Annie Johnson,
which closely answers the description
1t later developed that the vessel was
making port under her own sail, and
that when directly off Mile Rock the
wind died out, leaving her helpless and
at the mercy of the tide that rapidly
swung her toward the rocks.
While in this predicament the vessel
sfgnaled for assistance. but fortunately
before she grounded the wind came 70

POWERS WILL COMBINE TO LOCALIZE THE STRIF
Cossacks Crossing

Chinese Endeavor
to Attack the
MuSCovite.

LONDON. Feb 2O.-Complete stagna-
ton in war news leads the newspapers
this morning to discuss the political as
pect of the struggle in the Far East as
they are likely to affect Great Britain.
No great Importance is attached to the
stories published in Paris and elsewhere
on the Continent of alleged intrigues
looking TO the coalition of Russia,
France and Germany, the belief being
that it is to the interest of all the
powers to take steps to localize the
struggle.
At the same time 1t is recognized that
in all three of these countries there is
a strong feeling against Great Britain
on account of her alliance with Japan;
and as Germany and France joined
with Russia in 1895 against Japan, it
would be natural for Russia to seek
similar assistance in her present diff
culties. The argument is therefore
made that it behooves Great Britain
to be prepared for any and all results.
News of the abolition Of the Russian
censorship has not yet reached the
English newspapers.
Russian dispatches to the London
press record the rapid growth Of Anglo
sphobic feeling. According to the Kiev
correspondent Of the Standard, many
English boys have been withdrawn
from Russian schools owing TO the an
noyance and insults to which they were
subjected and there is evidence in the
restaurants and other public resorts
that the position of British residents in
kiev would be dangerous should Great
Britain become involved in the Russo
Japanese struggle.
The Tientsin correspondent Of the
Daily Mail supplies a new version of
the loss of the Russian cruiser Boy
arin. obtained from an officer who sur
vived the blowing UP of the Russian
torpedo transport Yenisei. This Off
Ger says that on the day following the
Yeniseis catastrophe, February II, a
violent storm brought many mines to
the surface of the water at Port Ar
thur The Boyarin was sent to assist
in securing them, but she was caught
in the storm. was driven on the rocks
and sunk. If this account is correct
il explains the Russian official denials
that the Boyarin was torpedoed by the
japanese or that she was blown UP as
a result of accidental contact with a
Russian mine at Port Arthur.
The shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express asserted that after an
interview with the Japanese Consul at
Shanghai the captain of the Russian
gunboat Mandjur consented to disarm
his vessel and to keep it in the harbor
of Shanghai until the conclusion of
hostilities.
The correspondent at Seoul of the
Daily Mail reports that 1900 Cossacks
are crossing the Yalu River into Korea
near Wiiu and that Cossack scouts
have already advanced into Korea as
far as Aniu.
Cable dispatches from Shanghai de-
clare that General Ma. who is protect
ing the borders of Pechin province,
wires that il is becoming more difficult
daily to prevent the Chinese troops at
Hsinmintun, province Of Shingking,
from crossing the Liaoho River and
engaging the Russians employed in
guarding the railroad near Mukden.
