London, Oct. 25.--The Pacific liner
Ortega which arrived in Liverpool Oct
20 from Valparaiso, was fired on by a
German cruiser. probably the Leipzig.
on Sept 10. When the Ortega 6iseov-
cred she was being chased she made
for the dreaded Cape George at some
thing over her trial trip speed. sss
They found themselves in an I'M
charted lagoon. which was really
roundabout entrance to the Straits of
Magellan. 1t was decided to navigate
this unknown waterway and a small
boat was sent ahead to take surround
ings. After much difficulty the known
but unfrequented waterway of Smyth's
channel was reached. On arriving at
Punta Arenas they discovered that
wireless message had been received
from the German ship, which had re-
manned outside the channel, saying the
Ortega had been sunk with all on
board. -s
On reaching the Atlantic further ex-s
citement was in store. as H. NJ s.

North of the equator a Russian bark
hailed the steamer to correct her

BALDWIN BLAMES
COLONEL'S VAGARIES

New Haven, CT, Nov. 4.-Governor
Simeon e. Baldwin, Democratic can
didate for United States senator, Who
was defeated in yesterdays election
by Frank B. Brandegee. Republican,
said today:
THE key to the election is very sim
pie. The Progressives of Connecticut
got tired Of following the vagaries Of
ex-President Roosevelt and most of
them returned to the Republican fold.
II think also that the indictment of
more than 20 of the New York, New
Haven g. Hartford Cos. directors and
the labelling as conspirators of good
many highly esteemed citizens of Con-
necticut who are in their graves had
an unfavorable effect on the Demo-
cratic prospects.

but "just one more thing that could
happen during these days OF Euro
war"
THE result at the polls throughout
the country" said the Speaker, was
a. great surprise to me. But the defeat
of great number of Democratic sem
ators and Congressman is not a re-
buke to the policies Of President Will
son. No, ii is Just a natural occurrence.
one that might happen during these
days of general mix-up. The European
war may have had something to do
with it,
When told that the Democratic ma
jority in the House was reduced by a
big margin. the Speaker, who was re-
elected by about 5000 plurality, said
that he felt certain when the result
had been decided definitely the Demo-
cratic party still would have safe
working majority.
THE re-uniting of the Republican
and Progressive forces in many dis
tricts and the inability of Democratic
legislators, because of the long session
of Congress, to properly canvass their
districts naturally permitted the voters
to drift back to old party lines and
the Republican victories are the re-
suit"

shops caused him to fear the same

The embassy has been unable to find

New York, Nov. 4.-When Theodore
Roosevelt was asked for an expression
OF opinion on the outcime of the cleo

REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE ENGLISH
TREASURY HAVE
ENDED MISSION

Washington, Nov. 4.-Sir George
Paish and Basil B. Blackett of the
English treasury have practically end
ed the mission which brought them to
the United States and as a conse-
auence of their conference with the
Federal Reserve Board and New York
bankers, ii was indicated tonight that
no further steps need be taken for
the present to arrange for shipments
of American gold to Europe. The $780,
100000 gold pool, the New York City
syndicate and the American crops are
expected to. take care of the present
American Indebtedness. 1t is said 1t
viii not be even necessary for the Re-
serve Board and the bankers to ar
range the proposed plan for the issue
Of short time notes to match the bal
ance in favor OF England which the
gold pool and the New York syndicate
will leave.
Sir George was understood tonight
to have agreed that no such note is
sue was necessary and that renewed
and revived trade with America soon
would eat up the outstanding amounts
If nis view Is Endorsed by his govern
Inent, there will be no fear by members
bers of the board that American banks
are to be drained of their gold at the
time when they are about to shift
their reserve. and in other ways take
up their new lanes Of travel as intre-
gal parts of the new banking system.
Only one matter remains to be ad-
justed. There is still the fear that if
the London Stock Exchange opens
again for business thousands of shares
of American securities will be put on
the market at bargain prices bound
to attract American investors. Such
dumping of American stocks would
send the American balance on the
wrong side of the ledger swinging up
again to the point where England
might feel that she must ask for
cash.
It has become apparent that tie
English government intends to allow
the reopenipg of the London Exchange
in the near future. What measures it
will be willing to take to prevent the
sale OF large quantities of American
stocks were not revealed tonight.

SUMMARY OF
n. f. RESULT

Massachusetts was the only state in
New England to return Democratic
Governor in the elections held Tues
day. Republicans, in this State, how
ever, control the Legislature and sew
eral State officers. Remarkable VIC
tories by Republicans occurred in New
Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island
and Connecticut. the four other states
holding elections.
Latest returns throughout Massa-
chusetts show that the Republicans
have regained control of the delega-
ton to Washington, although Cover
nor David l. Walsh, Democrat is as
sured the governorship by 10000 votes.
The Republicans also control both
branches of the Legislature by strong
majorities, and returns from back
towns may assure the election of four
state officers besides, Grafton D. Cush-
ing. who defeated Edward P. Barry.
Democratic candidate for lieutenant
governor.
New Hampshire returns show a COM
plete Republican victory, carrying with
it practically all of the officers. Spauld-
ing, Republican, was elected Governor
by large plurality. Senator Jacob H.
1duiISeT Was reelected 10 the sen
ate for the fifth consecutive time. Both
Congressional seats were gained.
Charles A. Prouty, former inter-
state commerce commissioner, and
candidate of Democrats and Progress
sives. was completely defeated by Will
liam p. Dillingham;, Republican, in the
Vermont United States senatorial con-
test. The Republicans retained control
of both Congressional districts. the
state ticket and the Legislature.
Charles w. Gates was the successful
gubernatorial candidate.
Connecticut returns show a COM
plete- Republican sweep, Senator
Brandegee defeating Governor Baldwin
for United States senator. The Repub-
Leans have control of both branches
of the Legislature.
Unofficial returns in Rhode Island
give almost a clean sweep for Repuh-t
licans, r. Livingston Beeokman, their
candidate, was elected Governor by
large plurality. One Democratic con-
gresham, O'ShaughnessJ. was elected.

George ODonnell of Mayfield was sho
and killed Tuesday night and cor

ported the cause of death by being
shot with a rife held in the hands OF
Scott Mclaughlin of Moscow. The
county attorney, who conducted the
inquest, with Sheriff Thompson and
Coroner Dinsmore of Bingham, stated
that no arrest would be made at pres
ent.
Before the jury Mclaughlin testified
that he went about dark to tie top
of the hill in Sugartown to watch or
deer that were in the habit of coming
during the night to the apple trees
there. About z o'clock in the evening
he heard a rustic of the leaves and
then saw an object. He had his rifle
cooked. and when the object, stopped
he fired. He heard a cry and at once
knew that he had shot a man. He ran
quickly to him and heard ODonneil
cry out: Il am shot,

woods and he knew that at least two
deer had been shot under those APP
pie trees within a week. He freed Nc
I.aughlin from blame and before DR..
Brown of Bingham could reach the
place, he died, having lived about an
hour after being shot.
At the inquest DR.. w. S. Stinchfield
of Skowhegan, county examiner, and
DR. Brown testified after an examina-
ton that the bullet went through the
liver and cut the other side of the
body.
Hunting throughout the night is a
common custom now in this vicinity
was the evidence at the hearing and
that the place where O'Donnell was
shot was a common place for deer to
come and fill up on apples. Two were
shot there last Monday night.
O'Donnell had come. from Moscow the
day before to visit his father, Michael
O'Donneil, and he had been out only
short time when shot He was 50
years old and wife and three small
children survive.
Mclaughlin is young man. His
brother, Frank Mclaughlin, was muir
dered year and a half ago and an
other brother was shot four yea:e ago
by being mistaken for deer by
hunter. The young man is very much
broken up as he and oDonnell had
been very close f-se ads all their lives.

BRITISH RECRUITS d
ALLEGE CRUELTY
IN THE CAMPS

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Oct 24.-Charges that men
and boys in England's training camps
are not receiving humane treatment
and that many deaths are resulting
from bad feeding and poor shelter are
causing great Indignation. The COM
plants recall charges Of criminal neg
lect that were made against military
authorities responsible for conditions
at mobilization centers In the United
States during the Spanish American
war.
Some Of the charges against the
British War ONCE have been put into
specific form. A letter written by f.
H. Bailey q bennington Spa, whose
son enlisted from Oxford on Sept. 10
and died from pneumonia on the
training grounds on Salisbury Plains.
has been made public. From it is
taken the following story:
In the course OF his training. the
young recruit wrote to his father. On
Oct. he said:
eve, of course. are stiff and suffer
from bad feet, but we should not mind
these discomforts If they would only
feed us properly. Today the food was
slightly better, but it was not cooked.
None of us has had a square meal
since we left home-or a cup of tea.
What they call tea is colored water
dosed with salt The clothes they
have given us are rotten and tear at
the slightest strain. All the buttons
hang on by thread or two. This
afternoon about 100 Of the 900 that
were drilling had their trousers split
from end to end"
The following day he wrote on a
postcard:
"Am still living, feeling damp at
night, no board floors in the tents
yet
The last letter on Oct. 5 stated:
Regarding the food problem, the
same thing has happened again. The
camp grumble, and so would anyone
If they had five hours drill and no
food. hope to come home for Christ
mas, but please have plenty of food"
No further letters came. but on Oct.
10 Mr. Bailey received word to visit
his son in military hospital at Bris-
toll He was fortunate enough to ar
rive some hours before death occurred.
The boy was full of gratitude for the
kindness of the hospital staff, but Bit
terly condemned the lack Of prepare
ton for the men, the damp tents and
scanty and badly cooked food-supply.
This is but one of a number of
deaths in the training camps, and the
proper clothing and housing OF the
men is proceeding all too slowly, ac-,
cording to critics. in view Of the COM
ing of winter.

the pressure on the Franco Belgian
seacoast relieved, interest in London
has again been diverted from land OPP

The daring dash of German squad
