CHARLESTON. S. C. , Nov. 5. The ocean tug Merrltt put Into Charleston this morning for supplies. It reported the lews of the cruUcr , Maria Teresa , raised by Constructor Hobson recently , oft San Salvador vader , Bahamas , November 1 , in the midst of a furious storm. The cruiser left Calma- nera , Cuba , on the morning ot October 30 , in tow , for New York. It had already passed Capo Ma > nl , and started northeast around the Bahamas. A furious storm , warning ot which had already been Bent out , overtook it , and in its condition , it was uuablo to weather the gale. The strain opened rents in the hull , which had bc < m patched , to en able It to make the Journey , and It began to nil rapidly. The Merrltt took off Captain Harris nnd the crew from the sinking ship , and it soon went down. The Mcrritt brought the captain and 136 men , who will proceed north by rail. No lives weio lost , as far ns known. The Mer rltt is now at quarantine , six miles from the city , communication with U being dllllcurt. Story of ( he Wreck. WASHINGTON , Nov. 5. A thrilling ctory of the loss of the cruiser Maria Teresa Is given In the official report of Lieutenant Commander Harris to the sec retary ot _ the navy received by telegraph at the Nary' department late this afternoon. It is dated on board the wrecking steamer Merrltt , fifty miles off Charleston , Novem ber 4 , and says : "Secretary of the Navy Washington Sir : PainfuMJ leers Troubled with Them for the Past Ten Years Purifying the Blood with Hood'o Snrsaparilla Effects a Cure.

"On November 1 at 1 a. m. I found that it was blowing hard and went on the lower bridge. We had left Watllng'a Island light abeam at 10 o'clock and up till midnight the weather was pleasant , and nil went well with the ship , although wo had trouble In keeping the pump In the forward fire room from being choked with coal. The wind continued to Increase in force until perhaps 3 a. m. , when it reached its height , al though there were times all day when it blew as hard. The direction was about northeast. The sea continued to rise until perhaps C p. m. ; there was a heavy sea all the following day. The pumps were re ported every hour. "Soon after I came on deck I relieved the second mate , Mr. Johnson , so that he could go below to flght the water. About 3:30 : the flrst mate , Captain LeCato , came up and he also went below to work. Cap tain Chlttonden , who was on dock almost as soon as I , gave his attention to the pumps , and especially to priming the centrifugal pump In the forward fire room. Tbero were many now leaks. When a heavy sea struck the Bides the plates leaked at the butts nud beams , showing after the fire they had ro- iumed their former appearance , but wore not tight. There was at the mainmast an Inch of thwartshlp vibration and only half an Inch longitudinal vibration. Whlla mak ing this examination , about 4:30 : a. m. , Cap tain Chittenden was thrown down and fell on the chain , hurting his side and back enough to temporarily disable him. He continued to give us valuable advice. Son IlrcnUN Into Conl Hunker * . "At 3 a. m. wo made signal to the Vul can and Merrltt , to go to windward , which they did as well ns they could , Up to 1 o'clock a m. wo were running the star board main engines and had steam on the two central boilers and three of the short 1 forward boilers , but the trouble In the for ward fire room caused the steam to run low ! and lighten fires under the starboard after boiler and stopped the englno so as to run the steam up for the pumps. The pump for keeping the water trom the forward com- partmcnt was driven by a belt , nnd when the sea broke over the bows , the belt became - came wet and slipped. Aa soon as the watef was up to the floor place In the forward flrc room , the rolling of the ship swashed into the coal bunkers and carried the coal out , choking Ihc pump and carrying thd floor plates about , which made it difficult and dangerous to work thero. "About 8 o'clock I called for volunteers to hoist coal and water Into the ash hoist. Everbody responded nnd th work was con tinued ns long ns It seemed of any use. About 3'30 a. m. It was reported that water wai coming Into one ot the starboard for. ward coal bunkers and running Into the flro looms. Where the water came from vve do no know. About 2 o'clock the 11-inch gun in the after turret ran out twice. When It recoiled the second tlmo something i gave way and It settled to extreme eleva tion and remained stationary. I Took to the limit- "At 1 p. m. Captain Chittenden asked mete to elgnal the Vulcan Just oft the Mcrrltt'B tow Hues and have the Morrltt come along side. I then assumed the command , told the men what was to be done and assigned them stations , I told the chief engineer to start the englno to aid the Vulcan in | keeping our bead up. He did to , but It could run but a short tlmo with the steam we had , "Wo signalled the Vulcan : 'Wo are about to abandon snip ; try to keep ua head to wind,1 "I order-J Captain Lerato to take charge of the lee surf boat and when It was low. ercd to the rail ordered Captain Chltteiv don Into it against his repeated protests Ho was placed lu the boat with his son This boat was unable to reach the lluei we had astern , but the Merrltt picked i up and after taking Captain Chlttendci aboard , towed the boat to our lee quartei end repcaicd this maneuver each trip , forni' Ing a lee for tbo boats to come hero am hen towing them back. It waa splendldl ] handled. From 2 until 5 o'clock the worl of transferring the crew continued. "Captain LeCato made two more trips when , his arm being disabled , his place wai taken by Mr. Johnson , who also took twi beat loads. The life raft was taken eve : and capsized , but was righted. It was pu in charge of James Boahford , ordinary sea man , of the Illinois naval militia. Ho am his crew took six Cubans to the Merrltt The smaller Hurt boats stowed on board 01 the lea side was then gotten out and I pu It lu charge of Charles A. Dunne , quarter master ilrat class. I gave him nearly al the good seamen left fcr a crew. It wa launched very handsomely nnd made twi trips. In all those trips wo poured oil fron the sponsona on both sides , and the Vulcai also used oil to make It smooth , where th embarking was done. I doubt If wo couli have \\orked without It. Crew Hcnnvuil llravely. "Tho tliip labored moro and moro feebly Deforo I left the brldgo It rolled Its sponson under , which I should estimate to bo thlrt ; degrees , and the pitching was enough t show the rudder , propellers and perhap twelve feet of the keel. It was about fou feet by the head. It fell into the sea vcr heavily nnd shuddered as It rose. There vva no water aft. The Vulcan did Its best t keep our head up , steering to starboard an going to full speed while the sea beat th Teresa's head to port. Throughout the da th Vulcan did everything possible. W were constantly signalling. With the excep tion of throe men who got drunk nnd gav much trouble , nil the crew behaved well Every man did his duty and my orders wer instantly oLoycd by reciters and men of th navy. "About 4:30 : ho made signal , 'Hang on t the wreck until you are sure it Is sinking to which the Vulcan replied , 'We will hoi on until It sinks or parts the tow lino,1 "The last signal he made was 'These tw boats will take nil. ' "After that I had to go aft to force th drunken men overboard and about 5 o'cloc ! we were all off. The boats were haulei under the stem as near as It was safe , wher the oil and lee of the ship made It smootl nnd were held by one line whileanothc line , with a ladder attached , floated to th stern. Two double bights were stopped 01 the right elJo to go over a man's shoulder The end was slacked from the ship and whei two men Jumped they were hauled into th boat. A very One fellow named Olsen at tended to this. When nil had gone but h and I ho cut the line and wo jumped to gether. U was perhaps 6:30 : when w reached the Mcrritt. While it was gettlni the surf boats the Vulcan slipped the hawse of the Infanta Maria Teresa. I pxpect tha the wreck dragging off to port brought al the strain on the port bridle and startedd th bits. When the boats were in , the Merrltt at my rcrjucbt , started to epeak the Vulcau but v\as unable to reach It and it apparentl did not htar our whistle. The Merritt thei returned to find the wreck but could not di BO. The search continued until 1 p. m th following day , when it headed for Charles ton , " Have you nny pictures of the exposition Something jou would like to keep ?

Mass meetings nil over the slate tonight closed the most heated political cnnipnlgn that Pennsylvania has experienced In many years. There nro four full ntato tickets In the field. For governor they are : W. A , Stone , republican ; Gcorgo A. Jenks , demo crat ; Silas C. Swallow , prohibitionist , pee ple's liberty and honest government , nnd J. Mnhlou Barnes , socialist-labor. The follow ers ot Stone , Jcuks and Swallow nro claim ing with considerable degree of confidence that their favorite will be elected and there Is every Indication that each of these three candidates will receive a heavy vote. Swal low has received the formal endorsement of the prohibition , people's , liberty and hon est government parties. A number of re publicans nnd democrats also publicly de clared their Intention of voting for Swal low as an evidence of their dlbsatlsfactlon with pnrty leaders. Notwithstanding the claims made by th < Swallow and Jenks leaders , the republican party managers claim that the alleged dis affection In the party v\lll have no othei effect than to slightly reduce the pnrtj vote for Stone and State Chairman Elklr tonight claims that the republican candi date will have nt least 100,000 plurality. The present delegation In congress com prises twenty-seven republicans and three democrats. U Is generally believed tnt democrats will regain a few of .the districts lost by them during the congressional elec tion of 1896. The last legislature had at overwhelming majority. On Tuesday next there will bo elected 201 members of the house and twenty-five sen ators , half of the senate twenty-four re publicans nnd one democrat holding over , The now legislature will elect a United States senator to succeed Senator Quay.

For this reason the repub licans will likely elect both congressmen , but the old factional Hues may affect their county tickets. The only national issue agi tated hero was on sustaining the national administration with a republican majority In congress. Neither side discussed t' tariff , currency or other questions. There are five state tickets republican , demo cratic , prohibition , socialists and reformers. Whllo the icpubllcans will likely carry the state , the democrats claim the republicans cannot gain nny congressman. On the last presidential vote the republicans secured fifteen and the democrats six congressmen in Ohio. FUSION IN WASHINGTON STATU I'rodlelloiia of Siieeomi Arc Mndc li > Until Milcx.

The campaign In Kansas has been remarkable for the car- nest work of the leaders nnd the apathy ot the voters , particularly lu the country districts. There are four tickets in the field , the populists ( fusion ) , lead by Governor Lecdy ; republicans , by W. F. Stanley ; prohibition ists , by ox-Senator Peffer , nnd socialist labor , by Caleb Llpscomb. The populists have made a strong feature of the record of their state officers ; the republicans , while answering this , have featured the record of President McKlnley. As the plurality of Leedy was but slightly nbovo 7,000 the margin for speculation on the result Is very light. All but one of the eight congressional districts nro claimed by both the republicans nnd populists. A con servative estimate of the Winners in the congressional flght would perhaps be as fol lows : Republican Curtis , In the First ; Dowersock ; Second ; Miller , Fourth ; Dalley , at large. Populist Hldgcly , Third ; Vin cent , Fifth ; Simpson , in Seventh ; the Sixth Is in doubt. KCSUI/rS IN DOUllT IN MISSOL'HI , CitmpnlKii Ilccnrileil nn Hciiiiirknblc fop an "OH" Vvnr. ST. LOUIS , Nov. 5. Tonight saw the close of a political campaign in Missouri that has been remarkable for nn off year. Out in the btato the campaigning has been heavy. The republican state managers were prepared for democratic apathy In the state and arranged to make a still hunt canvass for the legislature. Unofficially It Is claimed at democratic headquarters that they will carry seventy-nine out of IIP counties In the state , leaving entirely out of the fount those which are doubtful. Sixteen counties nre put In the doubtful column. The democrats still claim every congress man except Richard Dartholdt. The repub licans claim that the congressional delega tion from the state will number the same as at present twelve democrats and three re publicans. In regard to the legislature , the demo crats claim they will have a majority of twenty on joint ballot , while the republic ans claim that they will have a majority of ten.

Only two minor Btato officers are to bo voted for generally in Illinois next Tuesday. Twenty-two congress men nnd a legislature are , however , to be chosen , and the interest is centered In them. Whllo the lower house wilt not par ticipate in the election ot a United States senator , twenty-six of the state senators to be selected will hold over and take part in naming a successor to Senator Cullom. The republicans claim sixteen of the districts , giving ten to the democrats. The latter , on the other hand , nay they will elect seven teen senators and the republicans four. The other five districts are doubtful. The pres ent congressional deregatlon consists of sev enteen republicans , four democrats and one fuslonlst. The republicans assert that they will gain one or two seats. The democrats on the con trary are confident of carrying Chicago and if they do their expectation of several new congressmen may bo realized. Silver formed a part of the basis of the campaign of the democrats in the congressional districts , considerable stress being laid also on the McClcary bill which , it was maintained , would , if passed , result in a "bankers' trust.
