The last session of the nine days
- recount was the most eventful by far
of the whole proceedings. When tne
end came the result was so one-sided
' that Word's senior attorney; Henry
' E. McGinn, announced that there
would e no further contest. , The re-
- count added 20 votes to btevens lead
of 5,. as computed by the official re
turns? Mlia plurality at the end-of the
recount was herefpre 25, s lead which
. I even the casting out of the Sellwood

V . Sensation Is Furnished. .
The sensation of today came in the
' rerniinr of nrecinct 88. '.' In this -Dfe-
cinct the election board statement had-
1 credited Stevens with V votes ana
Word with "37, but the recount gave
n Stevens. 16 and the sheriff only 29, a
difference' in ' Stevens' favor1? of 15.
When ballot box 88 was opened Word
; wsa 10 votes behind and his sunport
? ers were taking a last leave; of their
hopes,' but when the lead was sud
denly raised to 25 they, figuratively
speaking, threw up1 the sponge and
took no more interest in the counting.
' Precincts -S9 and .90. were both small
and 'were soon tallied.' When the
final result- was announced the mob
I which crowded the little courtroom

gratulate the winner.', 1 ' ' , '',' :!

The contest waa on the. whole a clean

' What officers of the veaael believe to
have bean an attempt ' to Scuttle the
steam schooner Northland Viuring the
night was discovered early this morn
ing. When the men In the engine-room
got up. at I o'clock ttr warm the fires
they Were surprised to find four feet
of water In the hold. It reached over
the elevated floor plates and appeared
to be gaining rapidly.
Realising that the vessel was sinking.
First Engineer John Ehle notified Cap
tain Jamleson and the steam' pumps
were set to work at once. While the
pumpe gained on the water it wee not
considered safe to send the vessel to
sea in her leaky condition and the long,
shoremen who were to complete - the
cargo this 'morning were told to go
home. ' . - . .
While no ' one connected with the
steamer is openly - accusing any one of
having bored holes in the hull, the Inti
mation la that this waa done either last
night or while the vessel was at San
Francisco. Being a new craft and ef
the atancheat construction, it is not be
lieved that ahe could have strained and
sprung a leak, especially when it is con
sidered that aha was in the drydock
for a general overhauling a few days
prior to her departure for Portland. .
Arrived la'Barbo Tmeeday.
The Northland arrived In the harbor
laat Tuesday morning and Immediately
went to the mills of Inman, Poulsen
Co. . to load a return cargo of lumber.
She encountered strong northwesterly
winds all the way up from the Bey City.
but Captain Jamleson says In his opin
ion tne seas were not sufficiently se
vere to strain the .vessel. .She waa
taking no ' water yesterday, and when
the pumps were sounded laat night they
showed only three incbee of "dead"
water In the hold.
As early aa possible this morning
Captain Jamtesen eent for Captain A.
Crowe, surveyor for the San Francfece
underwriters, and aaked him to make e
special survey of the hull. . A thorough
aearch waa mads all forenoon of the
hold, but it failed to reveal the leak
Crawling on. their handa and kneea the
surveyor went through every accessible
nook and corner below the water-line.
but everywhere they found the planking
perfeotly dry. excepting In the engine
room, the only place they could reach
the bottom. When . the pumps 'were
stopped the gaugea showed the water
pouring In at the rate of several Inches
an hour. From 7 o'clock to 11 ahe took
about t( Inchee. " ;
Xxaminlag the Mull. .
Unable to examine the cargo, holds be
cause of the lumber stored there. Cap
tains Jamlesen and Crows are examin
ing the outside of the hull from a row
boat this afternoon. - They realise it
will be difficult to detect the leaka In
this manner, but think If holes were
bored since the vessel arrived here
euger chlpa or . . other ' signs may be
found In the vicinity- -
A theory appearing quite plausible le
that holes were bored in the hull when
ahe waa light, eo that she would take
water when ready for sea. She was
down to the 14-foot mark last night and
the cargo would have been completed
thle afternoon had the longshoremen
not been, told to "knock off." When
light she draws only about eight feet.
