Santo Domingo. Aug. 29.-The United
States cruiser Memphis. formerly the
Tennessee, was driven on the rocks OF
the outer harbor today by a sudden and
gigantic ground swell. 1t is believed that
many lives have been lost. The vessel
was literally hurled from the waters onto
the rocks.
All the fires beneath the boiler were ex-
tinguished by the sudden thrush of wa
ter. This left her at the mercy of the
sea.
The United States gunboat Castine es-
capped a similar fate by putting to sea.
The two warships were units in the
cruiser squadron of Rear Admiral
Charles F. Pond. The squadron has
been in West Indian waters several
months. due to the unsettled internal con-
ditions on Haiti.
The Memphis was the flagship of the
squadron.
There have been serious weather dis
turbances throughout the West Indies
for the past few days. These eliminated

with shipping.
The harbor here is considered one Of
the most dangerous road leads in the
world. II is open and affords but little
protection TO ships.

The following editorial appear
ed Nov. 10 in the American Econ
omist, the official organ of the
high tariff organization which
has for years controlled the re-
publican party of the east. 1t
was based on the belief that
Hughes had been elected: AT
the close of one of the hardest
fought campaigns in American
political history the victory of
sound sense and true patriotism
is won. The election of Charles
Evans Hughes as president and
Charles Warren Fairbanks means
that the American people have
demanded a return to real Ameri-
canism. 1t means America first
and America for Americans.
That the battle was decided upon
the single issue of restored Pro-
lection for American labor and
industry there is no shadow of
doubt. 1t could not have been
won on any other issue"
Woodrow Wilson: "The repub-
lican party is just the party
that cannot meet the new con-
ditions of a new age. 1t does
not know the way and it does
not wish new conditions. 1t tried
to break away from the old lead
ers and could not. They still
select it's candidates and dictate
its policy. still resist change, still
banker after old conditions, still
know no methods of encourag-
ing business but the old methods.
When it changes it's leaders and
it's purposes and brings its ideas
up to date, it will have the right
to ask the American people to
give it power again; but not un-
til then. A new age, an age of
revolutionary change, needs new
purposes and new ideas. "

Governor Lister made the strongest in Stevens
county of any candidate on any ticket

The loss of the state of Wash
ington to Wilson and the conse-
quent defeat of Hughes were due
to the attitude of the republican
state committee towards the pro-
gressives, is the opinion of L.
Roy Slater, former chairman of
the progressive state central COM
mittee. 1t now looks as if Will
son is elected" said Mr.. Slater.
IF this is true the defeat of
Hughes can be laid at the door

was placed on the list of the ex-
ecutive committee, but it was
done merely as sop to catch

leaders of Pierce county, Seattle
and other counties were ignored.
Ole Hanson, c. J. France, Ed
Snyder and others could have
been tied in the republican organ
ization in the early stages if they
had been given proper represent
alton in the first flush of the
Hughes campaign. The repub-
licans of this state ignored the
progressives and did not want
them to take part in the cam
paign, and when they finally rea'
lized the seriousness of the stu"
alton it was too late.
Chas. P. .Lund of Spokane,
chairman of this states republi-
can delegation to the Chicago
convention, says: "Hughes got
just as many votes as any candi-
date we could have named. Some
people claim that Roosevelt would
have made a better run. Pos
sibly he would have in the west,
but Hughes carried every big
eastern state that a republican
candidate could be expected to
carry, and some that republican
could not expect. Roosevelt
would have lost the great Ger
man vote, which stayed with
Hughes to the end. 1t is apparent
that the great body of the pro-
gressive vote cast for Roosevelt
in 1912 is still dragging it's an
chor. 1t is not attached to the
republican party and could not
be held to Hughes. Roosevelt
might have held it. No one else
could, though many people voted
for Hughes who would not have
voted for Roosevelt"

OFFICIAL VOTE
IN COUNTY
News and Comment
of the Election

The official count which has
been made by the various states
since election day has been
watched with interest, but only
an increasing vote for Wilson in
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New
Mexico and California has marked
the count. Chairman Wilcox of
the republican national commit
tee has steadfastly refused to con-
cede the election of Wilson, prob
ably awaiting the returns from
Halifax and North Borneo.
The count in Stevens county
was finished Thursday morning,
and disclosed the fact to an anx-
ious world that Haskins, demo-
cratic candidate for legislature,
is beaten by Hayden. Foster.
republican candidate for coroner,
is beaten by Rigg. Whether this
trade will suit the world has not
been ascertained, but it is the on
ly change found in the unofficial
report published last week.
The complete official return is
found in this paper.
Woodrow Wilson carried prac-
tically two thirds of the states.
He received 24 million more
votes than in his first election,
which is the greatest increase
ever given to an American presi-
dent.
He received two million more
votes than any former democrat
ic candidate for president.
He received the largest popular
vote ever given to any president
He received million more
votes than the combined Taft
Roosevelt vote of 1912.
His total plurality was about a
half million over Hughes.
The election laws provide that
on the second Monday in jan
uary the electors Of each state
shall meet and cast their vote for
president and vice president.
This vote is then wired to Wash
ington City by one of the electors
and on the second Wednesday in
February the electoral votes are
counted by Congress.
Chairman Wilcox and his
friends must have had consider
able at stake to take their politi-
cal defeat 80 seriously. Wonder
if all their recent investments
had been in munitions stock.
Lincoln county elected Z demo-
Gratis, including 2 Representatives.
Spokane county elected but one
democrat, a representative. Pend
Oreille county elected 8 demo-
Gratis. Ferry county elected a
democrats, and gave dill a plur-
atty of 600. Okanogan county
elected a democrats and gave
Dill a plurality of about 14OO.
The city of Spokane gave Wilson
1116 plurality.
Presents indications are that
Ferry county is entitled to be
called the banner democratic
county of Washington. Edward
Moore, who is democratic precinct
committeeman of Meteor precinct,
FERRY county, has also set up
the claim that he has the banner
democratic precinct of the state,
and to substantiate this allega-
ton has sent a tabulation of the
vote to Spokane democratic head
quarters, with a challenge to any
other is show a more consistent

Washington, April 25.-General Car

Milwaukee - The senate bill, If IT,

great deal to 5000 men who may

solves the national guard problem in
the manner suggested by various Wis

suggestion was that all national
guardsmen, in addition to swearing in
to the state service, also take the
United States oath, which would en-
able the general government to order
the guard to service outside the
United States. The senate's plan fed
eralizes the national guard and that
seems to be what is wanted by large
majority of the state troops. The bill
makes provision for adding to the ma

Lansing Tells Arredondo That Answer
Regarding Recall of u. S. Troops

Conference Is Held by
Leaders i'm Juarez.

Washington, April 25.-Further de-
velopments in the pursuit of Villa and
the relations between the United
States and the de facto government
of Mexico now await personal discus
sion of these subjects by the senior
military advisers of the two govern
ments.
A conference between Major Cen
eral Hugh L. Scott chief of staff of
the American Army, and General AL
varo Obregon, minister of war of the
de facto government, has been arrang-
ed to take place probably in Juarez.
General Scott is now in San Antonio,
Texas, and General Obregon is thought
to be already on his way north from
Mexico City.
Carranza Agrees to Conference.
Announcement that General Carran-
"a had agreed to the conference was
made by Elizeo Arredondo, Mexican
Observation-Disclosures who paid Sec
ond visit to Secretary Lansing to COM
municate the fact. Secretary Baker
was promptly informed and the infor-
nation transmitted to General Scott
The ambassador was informed that
no reply could be made to General
CarranZa's note at present. Secretary
Lansing is understood to have made
it plain that the Washington govern
ment was anxious that General Scott
be given a chance to talk the situa-
tion over with General Obregon be-
fore a formal answer was prepared.
On his return to the embassy, Mr.. Ar
redondo found message announcing
that General Obregon would go to the
border
Obreqon Leaves Mexico City.
Details of the meeting were left to
General Scott by administration off,
cials. At the Mexican embassy, how
ever, it was said that while no word
had come that General Obregon was
on his way to the border, there was
reason to believe he had already left
Mexico City.
AS the two officers hold equal mill
tary rank and as General Obregon is
a cabinet officer in addition, it was as
sumed at the embassy he would sug-
gest that General Scott call on him
in Juarez, in accordance with diplo-
matte and military custom, although
the succeeding meetings, it was said
probably would take place across the
border in El Paso because of the bet
ter accommodations there.
The meeting was suggested first aft
er General Scott had started to the
border on his mission which resulted
in the authorization for the redisposi-
ton of the American troops in Mex
leo, now being worked out by General
