that it bas gone for MoKinley, but tbe
actual count is unreasonably delayed.

After several weeks of daily confer
ences, tbe lumber men interested in the
domestic trade bave arrived at the con
clusion that their various interests cau
be best subserved by remaining in the
pool which tbey have maiutaiued dur
ing tbe past year under tbe name of the
Central Lumber Company, of Cali
fornia. It required an enormous
amount of conferring to settle tbe mul
titudinous interests iuvolved, but thi
bas at length been accopmlished and
nearly all of the mills on the books last

Coal One Exploded.
A terrible explosion of gas occurred
at the South Wilkesbarre shaft of the
Lebigb & Wilkesbarre Coal Company.
It is reported tbat fix men were so
badly burned they will die. The mine
waa not in operatiou and only about
fifteen men, mostly repairers, were
inside. So great was the force of the
explosion tbat it shook the surface for
miles around. Smoke coming up the
shaft prevented the rescuers from going
down. The mine is cue of the most
gaseous iu the anthracite fgion. Five
years ago seveu men perished in au
explosion there.
tbe vote is close, like Delaware, Ten
nessee, Nebraska aud tbe Dakotas. It
will take another day to make up an
absolutely trustworthy table of electoral
votes.
On the most conservative estimate,
MoKinley has 250 electoral votes, or
25 more tbau a majoirty. Probably he
will have 800, or two to Bryan's one.
He has carried every state east of tbe
Missouri and uorth of the Ohio and Po
tomac, besides Kentucky in the South
aud Oregon in tbe West certainly, and
perhaps others in both sections. Mo
Kinley's total majority on the popular
vote will be more than 1,000,000, the
largest in tbe history of the country.
The following table shows the elec
toral vote of each state. Tbe asterisk
in front of the states indicate those
claimed by tbe Republicans. Tbe re
maining Btates are either for Bryan or
in doubt This gives McKinley 288
electoral votes. The Bryan forces olaim
69 positively, while 90 are in doubt:
from the state were very meager, but
tbe state is claimed by the Repub
licans. Tbe total vote polled is much
heavier than two years ago. The vote
is so close that cotuplete returns must
be bad before it cau be decided.

passes. ' He also stated that there waa
no confirmation of a rumor circulated
i by Cuban passengers who arrived here
! last night, tbat towns in tbe outskirts
I of Havana bad been already besieged
! by tbe insurgents.
While tbe Havana papers, many ot
which were reoeived by steamer last
night, oontinue to maintain silence 'in
regard to Maoeo's movements sinoe bia
brilliant attack on tbe Artemisa, it ia ,
still insisted by active partisans ber
in direct communication with tbe load
ers in Cuba that be unquestionably
crossed the military trooba at tbat
poiut during tbe bombardment of the
town, aud with a small following baa
since marched through tbe entire
provinoe of Havana, and is now at
Colon, a central poiut iu Matanzas.
It is also alleged tbat bis mission
there is to concentrate and assume oom
maud of the foroesof Rioardo, Trujillo,
Rojas and other minor rebel leaders,
who bave been operating in tbat vicin
ity with between 4,000 and 6,000 well
armed men. Notwithstanding the per
sistence of this report, other Cubans
here, apparently equally informed, ex
press doubt tbat Maceo bas left tbe
provinoe of Pinar del Rio, which move
ment they say would imply defeat by
tbe superior forces sent against him by
Weyler. The explanation, however,
is offered that uo abandonment of ter
ritory has boon made, as General Ruia
Rivera, a veteran of the last war, has
been left in comamud in Pinar del Rio,
while Maoeo has gone eastward, in
obedienoe to orde'i from bis superiors,
to operate with Maximo Gomez in tbe
latter's new capmaign of invasion.
Gomez bas not been heard from sinoe
bis attack on the town of Casoorro.
The ominous silenoeof Gomez is said
to presage tbe planning of a seiiea of
important attacks on the principal
oities witbin Havana and Matanazas
provinoes, his apparent innotivity hav
ing been oaused only by a desire to
await the fulfilment of necessary pre
paration.
