THE CUBAN ELECTION
Gomez, Liberal Candidate, Elected
President BY Large Majority.

3 q RI s 81 -E1-Fs
Havana, BY Cable At the close of
an election which, was conducted with
great enthusiasm and complete alb
sence of Disorder, it appears practi-
cally certain that General Jose Mig
uel Gomez and Alfredo Zayas have
been chosen President and Vice Pres
ident respectively Of the new Cuban
republic, with strong liberal ma
jorities in the Senate and House.
Throughout the island, according to
the reports, an extraordinary heavy
vote was cast, vastly in excess of
that cast in the August election
where $4,000 failed to vote in a.
total registration of 100000. This
was especially so in Havana City,
where the vote probably will reach
Sc per cent of the registration
against 40 per cent in August. The
heavy vote was due, not only to the
prevalence of fine weather, but the
strenuous efforts made to bring out
the silent votS. The slow incoming
of the returns is attributed partly to
the heavy vote and partly to scratch
ed ballots on Representatives. In
complete official returns from the
precinct of Havana indicated that
the city was overwhelmingly Liberal.
Few returns have been received from
the provinces but estimates give the
island to General Gomez by from
$4,000 to 5000. The Conserve
tive leaders generally admit the de-
feat of their party.

$ittsburg Parson, supported by God, puts
Congregation to Rout, and Gets his
New Job with More Pay.

jacob. the immediate progenitor of the
Zen tribes of Israel, We are told by book,
~restled with the Lord and was given a
aard fall.
Now, certain congregation in Pittsburg
undertook to resist the Lord and one of His
accredited representatives, unmindful OF
what happened to Jacob, with the result
that the Lord and His representative came
out on top.
People who believe in the Lord and His
great power ought to have known better
than to 60 up against such a combination,
but it is an exceedingly difficult matter to
convince some until it is too late.
The story is thus related by the following
communication, which we give in full:

respecting Inc resignation OF Rev. 5. Ed
ward Young, Pastor of the Second Presby-
terrain Church. this city. This is to allow
him to pilot congregation OF Brooklyn
people heavenward.
Although the Rev. Young is persuaded
that the call to the Bedford Presbyterian
Church (Brookyn) is call from God" the
congregation of the Second Presbyterian
Church are using all the powers at their
command to defeat the call of their God and
to persuade the Rev. Young that he is mis-
taken relative TO having been called You
will note that the congregation of the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church in their eager ef-
forts to defeat the will Of their God voted
the Rev. Young an increase of salary OF
$4,000 per year, the increase meaning a sal
airy of $4,000 per year. The $4,000, how
ever, was not persuasive, and they have
now offered him years rest on pay at
salary of $4,000 per year, and travelling ex-
penses covering a trip TO Europe. The
Rev. Young has not given his answer to
this last effort of the congregation to defeat
the call of their God.
