RECORD 13 ESTABLISHED Parker Has 1,293,053 Votes Less Than Bryan, SOCIALISTS MAKE BIG GAIN Their Strength Nearly Four Tidies as Great as in Preceding Campaign Analysis of Result, Which Shows Interesting Facts. "Waiter- Wollman In Chicago Record Herald. CHICAGO, Dec. 13 The unprece dented popular majority for President Roosevelt of 2,526,470, and a total vote for all candidates of 13.513,820, a de crease of 455,233 from the total vote of 1900, are some of the results indi cated by the official canvass of the returns from tho recent Presidential election. The New York Times colla ted the official returns from all of the 45 states of the Union (with four counties estimated in Michigan and one county rstlm&ted In Tennessee), and published this morning a table by states, giving the complete vote of the country. The Times makes a mistake in the vote given Roose velt in South Carolina, quoting the figures at 22,271, -while the vote actually cast for Roosevelt in that state was officially returned at 227L Deducting this error of 20,000 votes and using the Times figures as to other states, the following sum mary and comparison have been prepared by the writer: 1300. 1904..

An analysis of the 'ote of the country by geographical sections, compared with 3900. shows some exceedingly interesting facts. Leaving out the 11 former slave plates of the Solid South, only four states in the Union failed to give Roosevelt as large a vote as they gave McKinley. Two of these were the border states of Mary r Watches Absolute for and wear. their time Proper Jewelry Brooches Bar Pins Necklaces "Waist Sets Link Buttons Band Bracelets Chain Bracelets Lorgnettes Lorgnette Chains Bead Neck Chains Umbrellas Ours are reliable weather protectors. Corner Third and land and Kentucky, where the differences were 27,000 and 21,000 respectively. The other two were Vermont and Maine, where the reduction of the Republican vote was only a thousand or two. On -the other hand, in only eight states of the entire Union did Parker get a larger vote .than Bryan had. Five of these were Northern States New York, where Parker had 5000 more than Bryan; Massa chusetts, 9000 more; Rhode Island, 5000 more; West Virginia, 2000 more, and Dela ware, 500 more. In South Carolina Parker gained 5000 over Bryan, in Georgia 2000 and in Mississippi, 1500. Some of tbfi Roosevelt gains over Mc Kinley were surprisingly large. In the East the only notable gain was In Penn sylvania, where Roosevelt had 128,000 more than McKinley. Itoosevelt's gains over the McKinley vote in the Central West were of only fair pro portions 56,000 in Ohio. 32,000 in Indiana, 46.000 in Michigan. 33.000 in Illinois, 14,000 in Wisconsin, 24,000 in Minnesota, and in Iowa a bare 99 votes. In the states beyond the Missouri Presi dent Roosevelt's great personal popularity and the return of the people to their alle giance to the Republican party after eight years' following of Bryan and free silver greatly Increased the Roosevelt vote over McKinley's totals 25,000 in Kansas, 27,000 In Nebraska. 18,000 in South Dakota, 17,000 in North Dakota, 8000 in Montana, COO0 In Wyoming, 15,000 in Utah, 3000 in Nevada. 20,000 in Idaho, 40,000 in Califor nia, 41,000 In Colorado, 14.000 in Oregon and 43.000 in Washington. But .after all " the most stupendous change" from 1900 to 1904 was the falling away of the Democratic vote in the Cen tral and Far West. In New England and the East Parker held well up to Bryan. save in Pennsylvania, where he lost 89.000 t votes and where Roosevelt got the great est plurality ever given a candidate for President by 'an American state, 505,000. The real "landslide" was In the Central and Far Western states. Look at these figures, showing how Parker ran behind Bryan: Ohio Wisconsin Nebraska . .130.000Mich!gan ... 74.000 .... 35.000: Iowa 60.000 61.00WMiESOurl 56.000 15.000 California 35.000 Oregon Indiana 35.000 Illinois 175.000 Minnesota .... 44.000 Kansas 78.000 South Dakota. 17,00KColorado 22,000 Idaho 11,000, Washington ... 16.000 The total of the popular vote of the country falls 1,500,000 votes short of the 15.000.000 that had been looked for. This surprising loss was due in part to the light vote of the solid South, where elec tions are mere matters of form, and more particularly to the fact that in the Middle West hundreds of thousands of Bryan Democrats did not go to tho polls at all. In Missouri, for example, Roosevelt re ceived only 7000 more votes than McKin ley had In 1900, and yet carried the state by 25,000 because 50,000 Democrats refused to vote for Parker. In Iowa the Roose velt vote almost exactly equaled the Mc Kinley vote, but the Parker total fell 60,000 behind Bryan's. In Illinois Roose velt gained 35.000 over McKinley, b'ut stay-at-home Democrats swelled his plu rality from McKinley 98.000 to 303,000. The falling off In the total vote is thus plainly accounted for. Many thousands of Democrats must have voted for Roose velt. But for every one who did bo prob ably five or ten Democrats did not go to the polls at all. In the following compilation of the vote by groups of states we have a valuable comparison of the McKinley and Roose velt totals and of the Bryan and Parker vote: NEW ENGLAND STATES.

FATAL FIRE ON SHIP Long Island Steamer Burns and Nine Lives Lost, DISASTER COMES AFTER DARK Courage of Officers and Crew All That Saved Many From Meeting Death Financial Loss Is About $250,000. NEW YORK, Dec 17. By the burning of the Starln line steamer. Glen Island. In Long Island Sound today, nine lives were lost and property roughly estimated at $250,000 waa destroyed. That more lives were not sacrificed was undoubtedly due to the personal courage of the officers of the crew and the excellent discipline main tained when a horrible death for all seemed almost a certainty. When the steamer was abandoned she was name swept from stern to stem, and yet the only persons who lost their lives were those whose escape had been entirely cut off by the fire before the alarm reached them. Of the 31 persons, including 10 passen gers, who sailed away on the Glen Island last night, 22, including, eight passengers, were brought back today. The dead passengers are an unknown Hebrew woman, said to have resided at 205 Hamilton street. New Haven, and an un known man, supposed to be a New York er. The following members of the crew lost their lives: W. E. Hendrickson. assist ant engineer; Luman Miller, fireman; Frank Bush, fireman; John Burke, fire man: Otfo L. Alforan. fireman: O. Berg, deckhand; Peter Benson, deckhan.d Among the passengers rescued "were Mr. and Mrs. Frederick B. Street, of New Haven, and their two daughters; Max Levin, of New York; Nathan Dublin, of New Haven; Arthur Wallace, of Walling ford. Conn. The Glen Island left her dock here last night for New Haven. The trip down through the Sound was without Incident. About midnight, when three miles west of Greenwich, Conn., there came a rush of stifling smoke from the bold and every electric light on board tho craft went out. Captain McAllister sent in tho alarm for fire drill, and tho men came tumbling out of their bunks. In the meantime the steering gear had been blocked and the pilots, finding themselves unable to direct the course of the steamer, hurried to the assistance of the other members of the crew in saving lives. Captain McAllister ordered Pilot Mc Mullin to go to the hurricane deck and loosen one of the boats, while he went to the main deck and tried to loosen the two large lifeboats. Captain McAllister managed to loosen the port lifeboat. The other lifeboat was frozen to tho deck, but a smaller one was soon ready to be lowered away. Passengers Run Wildly AlSout. While the officers and crew were work ing there was a scene of confusion among the 10 passengers. They ran about tho salons In disarranged clothing. The wo man who lost her life had been aroused by the stewardess, and was on her way to' one of the boats when she suddenly turned and dashed back into the flames In the cabin. It Is supposed that she went back for her valuables. She was not seen again. There was no possibility of waiting for the rescue of those who failed to appear at once. In the large boat ten people were afloat. They included the eight rescued passengers and seven of the crew, includ ing the captain. The smaller boat, which Pilot McMullin had managed to free, car ried seven passengers. Tho two boats were rowed as far away from the burning steamer as was necessary to escapo de struction, and waited' there and watched the boat burn. They made every possible effort to find any possible survivors, but there was none to be found. How and where the fire originated is a mystery, but it is believed to have started in a dynamo located below and near the center of the vessel. Nearly all the pas sengers were in their berths when the vessel suddenly became filled with stifling smoke and the lights went out. So heavily laden was the second boat that It threat ened every moment to capsize. The tug Bully came to the rescue and ran In as close as possible, but nothing could be seen of the nine missing persons, and all hope for saving them was given up-. Those in the lifeboats were taken aboard and the tug headed for New York. On tho way she met the steamer Erastus Corning, also of the Starin line, and tho rescued were transferred to that vessel. They reached the city shortly before 7 o'clock this morning. Beyond their hav ing suffered severely from the cold and nervous shock, none was Injured. The Glen Island was constructed from the ruins of the City of Richmond. The latter, curiously enough, also was burned. After having been rebuilt, the steamer was christened William C. Egerton and later renamed Glen Island. Captain Charles McAllister, who com manded the Glen Island, escaped with only his underclothes, trousers and an overcoat. He lost nearly everything he owned, in cluding money, jewelry and clothing. He was the last person to leave the wreck. According to First Mate larsen the fire broke out In the forward part of the steamboat, when she was off Captain's Island. Larsen declared that it seemed I to have gained a headway which it was "The Sweetest Story Ever Told " A Result of One of Our Christmas Rings Our rings are a little better than ordinary just enough to cause a happy and expressive approval of intrinsic -worth.
