declared to b good, which were thrown out by the election, officers, to warrant the belief that Auld will be counted out by several votes. The strange feature of the contest Is that the votes declared blank by the board now show a small cross on the rooster's head or tail, but in no instance has the eagle been marked In this manner. " The Republicans question the manner in which the marks are placed on the Democratic emblem, and the case will probably end in the Supreme Court.

Speaking: in Their Ovrn Tongue Saves Them Much Money. Rocky Mountain News. "A Chinaman at the telephone is a funny thing," remarked a long distance telephone operator a few days ago. "You see it is impossible to tell whether one person or half a dozen are talking and we often become mixed up in listening to them. When one is speaking it seems as if a half a dozen are talking, and we often imagine the wires are out of order. To make matters worse the Chinese delight in talking as fast as possible, and we never know whether the Chinaman at this end of the wire is talking or if the one at the other end. After the conversation is ended the Chink walks out of the booth with a selfsatisfied smile on his face, and pays for a three-minute talk. We have lately discovered that he invariably says as much during that time as could have been said by a white man In fifteen minutes." To be sure the telephone company is not really "out" , anything by the transaction, as it is paid by the minute, but nevertheless in the case of the Chinaman, the company would be the gainer by charging for volume instead of time. A Chinaman always begins his talk In pigeon English; he says "Hello. Is this Sam Ling? I bette you don't know yl hiyihe yahbo benno ne " and so on, and it sounds on the wires as if several persons were at work. An amusing incident occurred in the Denver office of the company last week. The long-distance operator at Colorado Springs called Denver over one wire and informed the local office that another wire was out of order. An investigation resulted in a report being made to the effect that the wire was crossed with a dozen others and that it was impossible to use it until the trouble could be located. An inspector asserted that he believed the wire was crossed with one connecting with the Tower of Babel, and the "hello girls" upstairs were ready to agree with him when a. Chinaman walked out of a booth, glared around the room for a minute and then said: "Me notte pay when big fool monkey with me and call me names allee samee me notte know any bettee. Me wantee talk to Sam Lee, Trinidad, not Melican mans and gals in Denver. ' And the mystery was explained. What had been mistaken for a crossed, wire was only two Chinamen, one in Denver and one in Trinidad, each one trying to get his money's worth of conversation at so much per minute. The Mongolian received an apology and was once more allowed to enter the booth, where he talked to his friend, Sam Lee. in Trinidad. Sam Lee is agent for the Six Companies of San Francisco, and furnishes laundrymen and merchandise for Chinamen all over the United States. He averages five talks to Denver each week, and were his conversations carried on in English his business would be very profitable for the telephone company. Sam, however, is too wise to talk English when he has to pay, and converses in tho language of the Flowery Kingdom. In this manner he saves a great deal of money. One of Osborne's Stories. New York Times. Assistant District Attorney Osborne during the noon recess of the Mollneux trial one day last week told of a celebrated North Carolina lawyer who was practicing in a backwoods mountain district. While he was waiting for his case to be reached the trial of a notorious highway robber who had been caught red-handed was called. The prisoner had no counsel, and the presiding judge requested the distinguished lawyer to defend him. The trial lasted two days, and to the court's astonishment the jury returned a verdict of acquittal. As the prisoner was about to be fUschargcd, the lawyer stepped up to tho judse and requested a few words in private. "What is it?" asked the court. "I would ask your Honor," replied the lawyer, "to have the prisoner detained in jail to-night. I have to cross a lonely field on my way home, and the rascal happens to knov that I have money about me." Suicide of n Womnn. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 29. Mrs. C. T.

ACCIDENT ON A WARSHIP

OXE OF THE TURRETS OF THE TEXAS DISABLED OFF THE CAPES. Hydraulic Cylinder Burst While n Gun Was Brine Fired SemiPanic Created. HAMPTON, Va., Nov. 29. The battleship Texas had a. narrow escape from being blown up yesterday afternoon. She left the Portsmouth navy yard on a trial trip, after having been ' overhauled, yesterday morning and went out to the :apes, where gun practice was had. Two of the large turret guns exploded, filling the gunroom with glycerin and .water, but the magnificent work of the gunners saved the vessel from serious damage, as we'l as the lives of those on board her. The ship returned to Old Point this morning and this afternoon a special inspection board made an examination of the Injury. Advices from other sources do not confirm the report that two guns exploded. Officers of the Texas at Newport News last night declined to discuss the accident, and a statement for publication was refused. An official report has been forwarded to Washington. A report, which could not be confirmed, says the failure of the recoil rr.echanism of one of the guns to work after the gun was fired partly wrecked the turret and created a semipanic among the officers and men. The shock is said to have caused breaks in the plumbing on board ship, resulting in considerable damage by Hooding to several of the ship's cabins and storage compartments. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. A report from Captain Swinburne, commander of the Texas, touching the accident on board that vessel yesterday while at target practice, states that one of the hydraulic cylinders, which returned the gun to battery, was cracked liernnsA It had been left filled with water when the gun was discharged. The ordnance officers expect that this will not delay the ship long, they having a spare cylinder on hand. AAVAL aiAXEUVERS. "Enemy's" Squadron Complete with Arrival of the Battleship Ionro. PORT OF SPAIN. Island of Trinidad, Nov. 29. With the arrival here to-day of the United States battleship Iowa with Admiral Sumner on board the "enemy's" squadron Is complete. The battleship Illinois, the cruisers Chicago, San Francisco, Albany and Atlanta and the gunboats Nashville and Eagle also are here. Admiral Crowninshield called on Admiral Sumner to-day to discuss the plan of operation and there will be conferences between the flag and commanding officers of the various ships. The speed of the squadron Is regulated to that of the slowest vessel, the Nashville, and is limited to ten knots. Consequently it Is urged that the Nashville be detached. If this is done the Eagle will be the slowest vessel with a maximum speed of thirteen knots. Admiral Sumner is keeping the problem secret, but the impression prevails that the area of attack will be confined to Porto Rico, Culebra and certain other points. The squadron is not expected to leave here until Thursday. PALMA CRITICISED. Cuban Nationalists Protest Against the President Action. HAVANA, Nov. 29. A large meeting of members of the Nationalist party was held here to-day for the purpose of protesting against President Palma and the methods used in deposing former Secretary of Government Taraayao from Cabinet Senor Portuondo. President of the House of Representatives, and Senators Bravo, Tamayo and Zayas spoke bitterly against President Palma and Secretary of State Zaldo, whom Senator 'Zayas declared to be an annexationist. The sentiment of the meeting was that the party should declare open opposition to the Palma government and make an attempt to control the Senate as it does the House. The .Nationalists undoubtedly will adopt obstructionist tactics, but the Republicans expect that with a strong man in Secretary Tamayo's place the party will be xtrengthened and will regain a majority in the House. The meeting adopted a resolution expressing sympathy with the workmen now on strike and approving the action of the Mayor and Civil Governor during the labor troubles. MORE RAILWAY WRECKS.

WUAT1IEII FORECASTING. Great Progress That Has Been Made in a Vulanble Science. London MaiL Despite the popular hallucination to the contrary, meteorology has been so far brought to within measureable distance of an exact science that the weather, of tomorrow over Great Britain can, in ninety cases out of a hundred, be forecasted with a nearer approach to certainty than any other of the next day's events, excepting those which depend upon the known and certain movements' of bodies suspended in space. In meteorology, however, there are occasions when prospects hang in the balance; a development' in one direction is counteractive to a change in another. Here it is that a different kind of ability or genius than that required by the astronomer comes Into play, a qualification best described by the Greek word "nous" combined with an exceptional grasp of the subject. To every circumstance and combination of circumstances must be attached an exact relative importance which the dull mind would be quite unable to weigh. The achievement so arrived at is not infrequently a completely successful forecast which a less gifted person could only suppose was the result of occult intuition. To those not in the secret the question naturally arises, "What are these prospects and changes, how are they produced, where and when do they occur, and what bearing do they have on warning the ship not to leave port, or recommending that the umbrella may be left with confidence in the hall stand? The modern humorist always suggests that the opposite weather to that forecasted is to be anticipated with some confidence, for from Mr. Dooley downward the funny men of to-day make sport of all that is beyond the grasp of their intellects. Experts of every nationality use one method known as that of the forecast by the synchronous chart system. The essentials to making a forecast by this means are a map of the district for which the forecast is to be made, with as much of the surrounding area available for the establishment of permanent meteorological observation stations as is likely to be of any service, ;and telegraphic communication from all these stations to the expert in his office. To cite the United Kingdom special forecasts, issued daily by the Daily Mail as an example of this we have on the north and west side the Atlantic ocean, from which no observations are at present receivd at regular intervals, though wireless telegraphy opens possibilities In this direction. The continent of Europe furnishes all that is necessary on the south and east sides, but inasmuch as most of our weather travels to us from the west In the northern hemisphere, the British forecaster is at a disadvantage compared with the scientist who has to deal with, say, the eastern half of Canada. It is absolutely necessary that these observations should be taken synchronously, that is to say, exactly at the same time. Western European stations report at 8 a. m. and 6 p. m., and the report is made up as follows: Reading of the barometer; reading of the thermometer; direction of the wind; force of the wind; state of the weather and sky; condition of the sea at coast stations. Having this material at his disposal, the expert takes his map and fills in these observations at the places where they have been made, with a careful analysis of the changes which have occurred since his previous map was marked.

Texas furnishes the bulk of the pecan crop each year, there being shipped from the State in YjQi, 1,000 carloads. The Texas grower gets an average of 2 cents per pound on the ground for pecans, and the nut runs fortyfour pounds to the bushel. Most of the Texas nuts go to New York via Galveston. The one other great pecan country is the Indian Territory. Thousands ot bushels go to waste in that Territory because no one seems to care enough about the matter to gather a full crop. This year there will be a big Texas crop of pecans, and from what I can hear the price per pound will be very low unless a trust is formed to stay the price up." n mit the stom. ach.
