CALIFORNIA.
It Seems Settled That Roosevelt Has
Carried the State.


San Francisco. Nov. s.-With 70 small
precincts to hear from, the vote. OF
California follows: Roosevelt. 2sl,36s;
Wilson, 2s061S; Roosevelt's plurality
7b1. The totals were compiled, today,
from corrected official returns from the
county seats. The precincts remaining
unreportod are all in remote regions.
IT is probable that the vote of many
of them will not be known before the
Official canvass.
Not all of the Roosevelt electors
may have won, as one of the Roose-
Welt electors was scratched by the
voters. Attorney General Webb has
rendered an opinion that such baliots
were thereby invalid.

The feeling at Bulgarian headquar-
ters favors the Bulgarian army
marching into Constantinople, accom-
panied by the Servian forces operat-
ing in Thrace and a Greek force
which will land in the Gulf of Xeros
near the Dardanelles.
The Servian and Greek crown
princes probably will be present ano
the cross will be carried in triumph
into the Mosque of ST. Sophia.

war and Europe may count upon see
ing most cordial union between the
states. The premier says he anticipates
no unfriendly action from Rumania.
He insists that the allies will submit
to no coercion from the Powers. but
on the contrary would rather fight to
the bitter end.

None of Passengers Injured.

The people of Skowhegan were caused
| much inconvenience, all day, Friday,
| ON account of the train wreck that
occurred about $50 a. NJ, mile and
a half this side Of Shawmut when the
early train from Skowhegan was de-
rallied and the engine was thrown on
| to its side into the mud several feet
| from the track.
Bert Hopkins. the conductor, told
| of the experience and said that the
engineer. Ralph Hooper, was driving
along slowly, anticipating that there
might be a washout on the line, but
as he cautiously proceeded, he saw
nothing that indicated danger until he
| felt the engine tipping, he Immediate
| ly applied the emergency brake, but
+, before he could jump the engine went
over on its side, with him in the cab.
| He was not seriously injured, reeeiv-
| ing a scratch on the leg.
The fireman, II. y. Marden. realizing
that the engine was going over, jump
ed and landed into the Kennebec riv-
| er. He was not injured and soon
scrambled up the embankment and
found the wheels of the engine re-
volving a a fast rate. and the engi-
neer was pulling himself out of the
debris.
Mr.. Hopkins was in the smoking
car when the accident occurred, but
realized that the engine was going
over as the track sunk under him.
The baggage car was pulled partly in
| to the ditch, but was not turned over,
and the coaches remained on the
track. When the engine went over, 1t
took with it the entire track and
sleepefs under the engine. -

the telephone wires were out of COM

way, he came in contact with live

There was only one Skowhegan man
ON the train, Bert T. Steward, who
was going to Waterville. The other
passengers were also men and no one
was hurt. The first regular train to
pass the wreck was at noon, from

scenes continue to be witnessed daily
