NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-It is inn possible to describe the political sen- sation has arisen over the California situation. Democratic papers are savage in their denunciation of the proposed policy of the California Secretary of State. Not since the Tilden-Hayes affair has anything been known like it. That the repub- lican party means to fight it out is quite evident, although democrats from California say that nothing is definitely settled. The democrats claim that the missing precincts are both democratic, and in any event are too small to have affected the final election results in the state of California.
 Excitement is intense tonight.

LONDON, Nov 22.-The papers are featuring tonight the sinking of the Britannic off the Aegean as an other infamous breach of interna- tional law. The giant Britannia was being used as hospital ship and on board when sunk were about twelve hundred persons. These included hospital staff, nurses, pati- ents and crew of the hospital ship.
 The efforts to launch the life boats were wholly successful, al though there was little hope for the Britannia after the first explosion.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The finan- cial writers and papers declare that any sort of an embargo is a literal impossibility and would prove boomerang. It would kill American trade. They argue that the Amer. ican shippers have now alienated Germany and that this policy would make hostile all the rest of Europe.
