Partial returns from every county in -Alabama in dicate that the new constitution has been ratified by nearly 30.000 majority. The black belt counties, where the largest ma jorities for ratification are expected, have been slow to send In returns, and when the official count is made, the majority may go as high as 22,000. General C. M. Shelly, leader of the op position, declares the state will cast a majority of at least 20.000 against ratifi cation. The anti-ratlflcatlonists charge fraud in a number of counties, notably Jefferson, Dallas and Bickers. General Shelly, chairman of the anti-ratiflcatlon-ists, claims that he has won the fight, but rather Indicates that he does not ex pect to have It so recorded. He states, however, that be will push the fight to 'the bitter end. PORTLAND TROOPS OFF BY RAIL Two Battalions of the 28th Go to San Francisco, TO TAKE TRANSPORT GRANT Special Trains Carry About 800 Offi cers and Men Oft for the Philip pines All in Good Spirits and Health. The first and third battalions of the Twenty-eighth Infantry, U. S. A., left Portland yesterday afternoon for San Francisco. At that city the troop3 will embark Friday for the Philippines on the. transport Grant. They were a gay set of young men aa they started on their journey. Neither the prospect of hard ships In the Philippines, nor war's gloomy side cooled the warmth of their ardor. The two battalions consist of 749 regular soldiers and 22 commissioned officers. The first .battalion departed at 3:30 P. M., on a train of 13 cars. Ten of the cars were tourist sleepers for the soldiers, one a standard sleeper for the officers, and two were given to baggage. The second bat talion left 10 minutes later. Its train was made up of a standard sleeper, nine tourist sleepers and two cars for bag gage. The cars of the regular troops in both trains had 266 sections. Colonel Mott Hooten, commander of the regi ment, was on the first train, and also Lieutenant-Colonel John F. Stretch. The third battalion, on the second train, was commanded by Major F. F. Eastman. Several of the officers were accompanied by their wives. Friends to Sec Them Off. Many friends of the soldiers were at the railroad station to see the troops off. The departure was more like that of a picnic party than an excursion to war. The traveling quarters of x the soldiers were unusually clean and comfortable, and the troops should have a pleasant trip to San Francisco. The men will ar rive at "the Bay City early Thursday morning. The two trains will not make the fast time of the regular passenger service. They left Portland five hours before the usual night passenger train, and this margin of time will keep them ahead of the regular overland. The two trains of the troops are heavy and long and therefore will not run very fast. From Vancouver by Steamer. The troops were brought over from Vancouver by the Undine, which made two trips to accommodate the two bat talions, and the soldiers were all bivouacked on .the depot platform by 2 P. M. Many who had good records for jabeha.vlorwere-- ermItiedtcgooTXtIn--t squads ana ouytnings they thought they needed on the trip. It was reported that five or six privates failed to show up when the time came for boarding tho cars and that one was seen crossing, the steel bridge between two trucks, swearing that nothing but bullets could persuade him to go to Manila. The troops will be missed in Vancouver, where they have been drilling for the past six months and spending most of the money they received on their monthly pay days. Make-Up of Battalions. The two departing battalions were com posed of Companies A, B, C, D, E. I, K, L and M. The officers were: Colonel Mott Hooten. Major J. A. "Buchanan. Lieutenant-Colonel John F. Stretch. Major Frank F. Eastman. Captains T. A. Pearce, P. Whltworth, F. P. Slvlter, F. W. Kobbe. J. J. O'Connell, W. J. Lutz, O. Edwards, C. C. Smith, J. Bugge and J. A. Lynch. First Lieutenants W. S.

' The officers accompanied by their wives were Captains Lynch and Pearce, Lieu tenants Grinsted, Prescott, Parker and Robinson. The families of Major East man and Captain Bateman will remain at Vancouver for the present. The fam ily of Captain Whitworth left for Arizona Monday. Eight Hundred Soldiers Left. Although the soldier population of Van couver has been greatly depleted by the departure of these eight companies, the garrison Is by no means depopulated, as there areabout SCO soldiers left These are the Eighth and Twenty-sixth Batteries of Field Artillery, Companies F and L, of the Seventh Infantry, and 300 short term men. Most of these last-named have been on duty at the Philippines or in Alas ka, and their terms of enlistment are so nearly expired that it Is not worth while to send them far. The officers connected with the Seventh Infantry are: Colonel C. A. Coolidge, Lieutenant-Colonel W. V. Richards, Major E. Hardin, Captains V. A. Caldwell. J. A. Goodwin (Adjutant), W. K. Wright, Charles S. Farnswortn (Quartermaster), J. S. Grlsard (Commis sary). First Lieutenants Campbell E. Bab cock, P. M. Cochran, R. McCoy, Second Lieutenant J. M. Loud. Of the Eighth Battery the officers at Vancouver are Ma'jor A. B. Dyer, Captain W. L. Kenly, First Lieutenants H. K. Mitchell and A. 3. Allen. Of the Twenty-sixth Battery the officers are: Captain H. L. Hawthorne and First Lieutenant R. H. Fenner. How Troops Were Taken Care Of. The permanent barracks at Vancouver have accommodations for 600 men, but a far greater number than this can be made comfortable by the erection of tents upon the high, nightly and well-drained grounds. Circular tents were stretched over wooden floors and the boys who could not be accommodated In the frame build ings were made comfortable in these little dormitories upon their single mattresses, 10 of the soldiers sleeping in a circle, with their heads toward the tent walls and their feet toward the pole In the cen ter. In daytime there was ample room in the buildings to while away the time. The tents will now be taken down, as there will be no use for them until fur ther orders. The business men of Vancouver, who have profited by the presence of the Twenty-eighth, are now consoling them selves with the fact that the Kalama Railroad is approaching rapidly from the north, and the town is even now head quarters for a large number of laborers who are constructing the grade and lay ing track just across Bridge Creek, two miles away. Vancouver is expected to be the terminus by the middle of December, arid it will have rail communication wltr. 'the outer world for the first time. Be- i sides this the Vancouver, Klickitat & Ya- kima road Is employing a large number of laborers on its 14-mile extension, and these do their trading with the "Vancouver merchants. The Twenty-eighth Regiment was paid off Friday last for October, and much of this money was left In the town. The Seventh Regiment and the Battery boys are expecting their pay today, and as this will amount to several thousand dollars, the retail trade will make some amends for the loss of the two battalions. ORDERS TO SOLDIERS. Men Ordered to Forts Abandoned by the Twenty-eighth. VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Nov. 12. 'Colonel Coolidge has received orders to send 25 men of the Seventh Infantry, fully armed and equipped, under the com mand of Lieutenant James M.

Fisher, Twenty eighth Infantry, will take command of a detachment of 70 men of the Eighth In- e - a- , SOLDIERS -i6. fantry, and take them to the Philippines on tho transport Rosecrans. ST.

The gale' Is still-raglhg unabated- to night along' the coast.' Reports continu ously arrive of shipping casualties, espe claljy on the Cumberland Coast, where the storm Is extremely violent. Three1 vessels .were driven ashore tonight at the entrance to the Tyne. - Four small vessels have been wrecked In the vicinity of Sutherland and another has been wrecked oft Hartlepool. Altogether, nine persons were drowned In these disasters. The lighthouse on the'Sunderland pier has been washed 'away. " "The gale-in -the "Irish Channel is tho most severe known for many years. Five vessels haye'been wrecked In Kingston harbor, which is strewn with wreckage. A fierce gale Is blowing in -the Channel and mountainous seas are running. No less than half a dozen small vessels within sight of Dover are flying signals of dis tress, and the lifeboats are vainly attempt 'lng to reach them. A rocket apparatus has been sent to tfie South Foreland, where an Admiralty vessel is on the rocks with the crew clinging to the rig ging. Several vessels have been dlsmast- ed, tugs are rescuing all craft which were driven ashore. At other Channel ports there were elml - lar scenes. Ships everywhere are running for shelter. t The eteamer Cato collided with the'Britlsh Lock Vennachar, Captain Bennett, which left Melbourne August 16, for London, at the .mouth of the Thames.

SPRINGFIELD, 111., Nov. 12. A com mlttee consisting of 25 members of tho Illinois Manufacturers Association was before the State Board of Education today regarding the recently ordered assessment of capital stock. Martin B. Madden, of Chicago, was spokesman, and made an address, In which he said that the asso ciation is ready to meet its just share of the burdens Imposed on taxpayers, but that If capital stock Is to be assessed In addition to the tangible property, double assessment is' Imposed, which perhaps will make It necessary for members of the as- sociatlon to reduce its number of em ployes, wnlch 13 now 250,000 men. Mr. Madden also made the assertion that the assessment of capital stock will prevent the manufacturers from investing capital in the state. LAYING IN SUPPLIES.

PRACTICAL ARBITRATION. Mexlcan Delegates' Report -to the Pnn-Aiuerlcnn Congress. CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 12. In the preamble to their report, the Mexican delegates to the Pan-American. Congress review the question of arbitration. A notable passage deals with the making of arbitration obligatory. The report says those who aim at such an end forget the teachings of history, and are only legis lating -for ideal societies organized in a superior and different manner to those now existing. They are not legislating for the- present day's societies, In which man, while moving under high aspirations, is, at times, carried away by passions which disturb and blind him. The Mexi can delegates look for more practical re sults. They say their plan offers some thing more favorable to the Interests of peace than those Ideas offered by pro moters of plans for the formation of the United States of Europe, and even of the world. El Imperlale says the Mexican dele gates are united In a determination to advocate the principle of suppression of nuarantlne. which has created so much j obstruction to commerce throughout the wor,ld. England has shown the way and 1 her public health has not suffered by her removal of quarantine. The delegates to the Pan-American Con ference this morning visited the mint and were shown through It by Finance Min ister LImantour. A banquet was served In the corridors. CARNEGIE'S OFFER. Gives Two Millions for a Polytcchnl cal School at Pittsuurg. PITTSBURG, Nov. 12. Just before the close of an all-afternoon meeting of the board of trustees of the Carnegie Insti tute today Andrew Carnegie surprised and delighted the members present by the announcement that he had decided to In crease to ?2,000,WX) his already large do nations. Mr. Carnegie said he would In crease his original offer to endow a poly technlcal school from 1.000,000 to J2.000.WO provided the City of Pittsburg wouia donate the site. His original proposition was to furnish money for the erection and equipment of a polytechnlcal school at whatever cost the board of trustees agreed upon and to start It with an endowment off $1,000,000. This endowment he today raised to J2.O0O.00O. Because of the rapid growth of the Institute, which comprises the art, music and literary departments, Mr. Carnegie said he would Increase Its endowment from Jl.000,000 to J2.000.000. The board of trustees adopted plans for the new school and selected a site for the buildings. The buildings will be modelea after the Worcester Technical SchtJol. and the site, comprising 11 acres, lies just west of the Carnegie Library building and ex tending along Forbes avenue to Boquet' street.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12. Judge Tuley today modified his order in the free text-book case to allow the city to purchase school books for children whose parents cannot buy them. " ENTERED A PROTEST Dickinson Complains to the Bulgarian Government HAMPERED IN HIS EFFORTS That Country Will Be Held Legally Responsible for the Life of Miss Stone Should the Ban dits Slay Her. SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 12. Consul-General Dickinson, of Constantinople, has supplemented his verbal representations to the Bulgarian. Government by a noto today, in which he recapitulates the his tory of the abduction by brigands of Miss Ellen M. Stone and her companion, Mme. Tsilka, and the steps taken to obtain her release, and reminds the Forolgn Minister of his promise to give every assistance. He also instances where the attitude of subordinate officials has not conformed with this assurance. Finally, Mr. Dick inson repeats his demand for the non-interference of the government in the ne gotiations. Mr. Dickinson also quotes from. Miss Stono's letters, saying that the chief danger to which she is exposed Is flight from hiding places by night at the ap proach of troops. He declares that the people of the United States will hold the Bulgarian Government morally and legal ly responsible for the lives of the cap tives, should tho bandits, exasperated by pursuit, slay them. The government's reply, , according to the opinion expressed in official circles, will set forth that while hesitating to establish the precedent that the govern ment gave protection to brigands in treating for tho ransom of captives In the present case. Involving the safety of two ladles, the government, as an act of courtesy and humanity, will comply with Mr. Dickinson's request. A private agent who was employed to visit Doubritza reports that the members of tho secret committee wore discussing the lowest terms of ransom that would bo acceptable. One member of the com mittee Informed the correspondent of tho Associated Press that ho had been In vited to join the band and take part in the kidnaping, but that ho refused and deprecated an attack upon inoffensive women, pointing out that such action was calculated to cost the committer more In sympathy and support than tho value of 20 ransoms. This view seems to be dawning gradually, even in Bulgarian circles, where the kidnaping Is condoned as in the interest of a sacred cause. KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
