With the closing of the polls last night
lis hottest political campaign In the history
if the city was brought to an oml , yet thu
illmax was tiot reached. All last night the
.irlnclpal . streets of the city contained n
liowllng muss of people , who cheered ami
ootcd thousands of tin horns as nowa of
, ho result of the count progressed and \v 3
nnounccd.
The Ilee , as usual , had erected a largo can-
as upon which were thrown the bulletins
as they came In over the telegraph wires.
A powerful llmo light was brought Into play
and as news of republican majorities were
eceivod the thousands of people who had
lathered about The lice building cheered nu
ll they were hoarse.Vhen the picture of
Major McKlnley wa.i displayed the enthusi
asm lnow no bounds , und the din that arose
night have been heard for miles arbund.
The World-Herald displayed returns by
ihu aid of a stucoptlcon , but the result was
not satisfactory , owing to the fact that the
operator was unable to get a focus that
would bring out the figures with any degree
of distinctness.
Down at the office of the Postal Telegraph
company a stercoptlcon was In use and an-
ither large crowd gathered around the
corner.
The telephone company grouped Its tele-
jihones and supplied Its patrons with the
election results while they sat In thulr
homes.
Karly yesterday morning the llryanlles
marshaled their fcrccs for the fight , going
upon the theory that victory was to perch
upon tholr banner In this city. At noon
they felt sure that their candidate would
win out by a pood-sized plurality , hut early
In the afternoon they gave up the. fight ,
and In many of the wards pulled off th lr
hustlers and sent them hem . Soon after
this tlu < carriages that had been hired to
haul voters to the polls were driven to t ) *
stables and the ilcld was nhaiidnncd com
pletely , being left In charge of the McKln-
ley forci'8 and the sound money democrats.
M < > n who bad bet their money on llryan
made a desperate attempt to get In out of
the wet by hedging that their favorite would
carry Alabama or some southern state that
the republicans never claimed.
1WYANITR < 5 LKAVR TUB KII5LD.
When the polls clrsed at 0 o'clock there
was scarcely a polling place In the city
where a llryan man could bo found , yet
everywhere the republicans were In high
spirits. They felt that they had scored n
victory , and that while they had rolled up
a grand vote fop the nominees on the na
tional ticket , they had done the same for
the state ticket and had elected nearly , If
not tiultc , every man on the legislative ,
county and state ticket.
So far as the result Is concerned It now
Icoks as though the completed count would
give the entire republican ticket In this
county a plurality of 2,000.
Tl.e Indications arc that Mevzer has c.nr-
rle dthe county by 2.000 over Dunie. wllli
a chnnee that another 500 may bo added
to his plurality.
The olllclal returns , so far ns received ,
show the following :
Ono precinct In the Second ward gives
McKlnlry. 127 ; llryan. 155. The same pre-

other members of the democratic executive
committee , Including Secretary Walsh , Com
mlttceman Johnson of Kansas and Campau
of Michigan , received returns In Chairman
JOIICH' olllcc , where an Associated press
wlro has been run. Chairman NYashburnr
of the populist national committee was also
present , as were also Senators Teller o
Colorado and Tlllman of South Carolina
Tim first returns received at the demountle
national lieaduarters | were from Kuihuvl
Kan. , and gave a vote of Oil for Hryan ami
71 for McKlnley. The early returns fron :
the eastern slates showed republican gains
In about every Instance , ut little Interest ,
however , was manifested in the returns
from states admittedly republican. The
llrst tiurprlsu came from Haltlmore , which
showed n big majority for .McKlnley , Indi
cating that tlio state had gone republican.
Kvcry report from the middle western
states was eagerly watched for , and much
gratification was expressed at the first re
port from Michigan. This was from Gratlot
'
county , giving llryan' SOO plurality. This- ,
county gave Harrison a plurality of 1,376
lu 1S92.
"Wo have no reason to lose heart. " said
Chairman Jones , after reading Ihe returns
from Now York and eastern states. "All
this early stuff Is what wo have been expect
ing. " The lirst really bad news began to
como In ut 7:30 : p. m. on the returns from
states south of the "line. " Other early re
turns from Tt'iine.s3i' ( > and Kentucky showc/d
large republican gains , as did the first re
turns from Illinois outside of Cook county.
Two precincts In Illoomlngton. the home of
VIcii I'resldunt .Stevenson , gave McKlnley
200 plurality. The returns from Michigan ,
however , were more encouraging. At 8:30 : p.
m. Chairman Campau claimed the statu by

LONDON , Nov. 3. Interest In the presi
dential election In the fulled States Is the
greatest ever known In this country In a
i tlmllar event. The city papers are publishing
] columns of matter on the subject , and the
quofttlon IK discussed In public places. Some
tde.i of thi' extraordinary Interest may ho
gained from the fact that the London news
papers are preparing to bulletin the results
of the balloting on receipt of the cable news
from the United States. The feature of
business on the Slock exchange today was
the buoyancy of American securities In re-
spoil jo to HID American market. The Globe
says : "Hlovcn huiiilrn ! millions sterling of
American securities am held , " and continu
ing , the Globe advises Investors to hold
them , "even If Hryan Is elected. "

SEATTLE , Nov. 3. Judge II. C. Hanford
has handed down his decision in the famous
Salvage case of the Canadian-Australian
steamship line , owner of the Mlowera , and
the Puclllc Improvement line , owner of the
steamer Mlncola. against the stcamshl ]
Strath Novls. In which ho decreed to the
former company $20.200 and the latter
$20,500 for their efforts In saving the Strath
N'uvls. which foundered In the Pacific ocean
several hundred miles oft Capo Flattery In
the terrlllc storm that prevailed In De
cember , 1&95. The opinion Is an exhaustive
one and fully covers the case , giving a
graphic description of the efforts of the
two steamers to tow the Strath Nevis to
piacu UL suil'iy. jjur UUUIL uuuiiniim-iin-u
tlio Mlncola on her efforts and In decreeing
the ? 20,500 remembered every member of
the crew In amounts varying from Jl.SJJ
to Captain Plllsbury , to J50 to the cabin
boy. The owners of the vessel get ? 12,000.
In the case of the Mlowera , the court gave
to the owners J1S.OOO and to every member
of the crew from captain down , amounts
langlng from $500 to $30.
It will bo remembered that the Mlowera ,
while towing her prize to Destruction Island ,
parted the hawser , and on the following
morning could not get sight of the stranded
steamer. Instead of steaming to Tatoosh
Island and telegraphing the news that ho
had towed the Strath Novls to the point
where Iho hawser parted , Captain Scott
continued on his way to China. For this
thu court criticized the nutter and stated
that the salvage would have been double
the size had ho taken these precautions.
In arriving at his decision Judge Hanford
cites n number of authorities touching on
similar cases. The decision is considered a
fair one in this city and gives satisfaction
to all parties concerned.

One of the Interesting features In the- de
velopment of applied electricity within the
last few years U the storage battery. From
the time when Planle made the llrst prac
ticable battery of this sort up to this pres
ent day It has been recognized , says the
New York Sun , that a successful storage
or accumulator battery would have almost
endless uses. Inventors by hundreds have
entered the field and tlio patent olllce records
show an Immcnoc variety of Inventions In
this line. In the fertile brains of the In
ventors visions arcfic of using wind power ,
water power , Eolar heat , gas engines , oil
engines , hot air engines and steam cnglnra
to run dynamos for producing the electric
current with the purpose of conserving this
force In storage batteries until the moment
when It was needed , and then using It for
all the purposes for which hottlcd-up en
ergy could be employed. They saw the
possibilities of thus using electricity for
driving railroad trains , road carriages , bo.ila
of all sizes and flying machines ; for light
ing Isolated houses , running sewing ma
chines , washing machines and passenger
elevators in houses ; heating the Irons in a
laundry , cooking the dinners , and. In faet ,
doing anything that could be done by the
direct current from a dynamo or a chemical
battery. Dozens of experimental machines
have been made , and from time to time
thtso have been announced as about to
revolutionize one or another of the great In
dustries of the world. Failure after failure
has followed those announcements ; but the
Inventors kept at It. and today there Is
practical proof that the storage battery has
come Into the electrical world to stay , and
even though it may still bo short of per-
rectlon It Is playing a very important part
In applied electricity.
Tens of thousands of these cells are now
n use In this country and In Kuope. and
they have made it possible to use sources
or power for the productlcn of electric
lights and electric power which eo.uld not
! > nvo been utilized bv any other known
means. You drop n nickel In the slot of a
phonograph and sco the talking machine

lit the bottom of tlio stand. The klneto-
scope and dozens of other nlckel-ln-the-slot
machines arc operated by the same power.
Cable messages and ordinary telegraphic
messages are -sent by the storage battery ;
electric lights ' are''nmlntnlned by It , street
cars are run''by ft , and hundreds of the
great country' bouses of rich men depend
upon tlio storage battery to give tneni lights
and elevator service without the necessity
of keeping on conp'tnnt duty n full corps of
engineers and takers to run a dynamo
plant. The Now York custom house saves
one or two shjfts of men through the same
means , and a great many of the smaller
office buildings 'are enabled to practice this
same economy * The whole of the elevated
railroad systum In this city may be ope
rated and lighted with storage batteries In
conjunction with a direct current , and the
Union Traction company of Philadelphia Is
already using a hlR battery of these cells
to carry Its Irbllcy cars over a hill and thus
relieve the ilylir.lno machinery from an
extra strain.
CONVEYSriV ( wJiONG IMI'UESSION. , ,
The term "storage battery" Is a good
enough ono for popular use , but It conveys
a wrong Impression. It Implies that the' '
electric current Is a ponderable substance ,
like water , which can bo gathered up and
stored away In bulk. Tills Is not true. The
only Invention which comes near to pro
ducing such an effect as this Is the Lcydcn
Jar , where an outer and an Inner coating of
tinfoil nre kept separated by the glass of
the jar and a charge of what is Known as
static electricity is driven into the tinfoil
from ono of the old-fashioned friction elec
tric machines or Its equivalent. This , how
ever. Is bottled lightning. Connect the In
ner and outer coating for a moment and
the lightning jumps out with a flash and the
stored energy is all expended. It is evident
that this device could not be used for any
of the commercial purposes for which elec
tricity Is wanted. What the storage bat
tery does Is to receive a current and utilize
it to produce certain chemical Changes In
the materials of Its cells. Then by the
natural tendency of these materials to
change back again the battery reproduces
the electric current , only giving It out In
an opposite direction. A curious thins
about these batteries Is that they receive
and give out the current at the same time
It required , and no matter what the pressure -
sure voltage of the current which Is charg
ing them may be. the current given off is of
llxcd voltage dependent entirely upon the
number of storage cells coupled together.
Just as It is true that Ben Franklin made
a working model of an electric motor and
pointed out the way to almost all the uses
to which electricity has since been put , the
principles of the storage battery v/crc dis
covered nearly a century ago , In 1S01 , by
Ootherot , who observed that alter he had
passed a current for some time througji a
couple of separated platinum wlreo Immersed
In sulphuric acid and water , these wires
would give out n ri'vutau uuiiuni WHUII mu
feeding wlrcn were detached. Plante made
his battery of two sheets of lead , separated
by n blanket of felt and rolled up together.
These wen Immersed lu sulphuric acid and
water. Ono sheet of lead was attached
by a wlro to the positive side of a dynamo
or battery and the other to the negative
side. What happened when a current was
passed through this battery was this : The
water in the battery was separated Into
oxygen and hydrogen : the oxygen went to
the positive plate and formed peroxide of
lead , and the hydrogen went to the negative
plate and was held there In tlio meshes
of the lead. When the battery was set
to work the other way this process was
reversed. The amount of work which this
battery could do was very small.
TIHinHIitST METHOD.
About 1&S1 a lurgfr number of persons who
had been worj ig o improve tills battery ,
both lu this 'country and abroad , all hit
upon about th same methods. Among these
Inventors weru Sit William Thompson of
England ; Faure. Swau and Vollkmcr. all In
Europe , anil * C : T. Hrush of the United
States. Their scheme was to make gridiron
plates of lead and till In the openings with
a paste compo-ied of peroxide of lead the
ordinary red lead _ nl commerce , on one plate
and llthago for Uie ; other , mixed with acid
water. SliV IjTlani Thompson made a big
battery of thliflnYt. | | which ho sent to tills
country and idler ! a 0,000-horso power
box. Tills wai tho\vay In which the Julian
batteries were lade , with which a few street
cars were run 'on f , long time on the Madi
son and FourtillVavenue line In tills city. It
Is still asscrtH that In uomo places where
the circumstances > ind care were favorable
those old plates" "WTiro successful , although
It is admlttcfr nia"l In most places they
failed. In the Fourth avenue cars , It Is now
alil , the great trouble lay In tlio fact that
too much work was expected of them. Each
car was equipped with ono and a half tons
of these cells , whereas It Is now said that
each car should have had four and a half
toim for economical results.
The great fault with thesa old platen was
that the panto fell out and the lead frame
work or grid was eaten up rapidly. The
plates of the present day are very different.
The grid Is made of a mixture of lead and
antimony , which Is stiff and free from the
action of the milphurlc acid , The positive
cell l& cast one-third of an inch thick , with
a great number of round holes In It , each
thrce-quartera of an Inch In diameter. Into
each of these holes Is put a roll of pure
load ribbon. This ribbon is as wide an the
Plato Is thick , perhapn ono-slxtecnth of an
Inch thick and a foot long. From end to
end It Is crimped Into a line fluting , and
when It Is rolled It 1 full nf opening * ) , which
let the acid get at ltd whole surface. The
plate Is put Into a battery , where It Is
charged and dlschnrged until the lead rib
bon has In great part been converted Into
peroxide of lead , or red lend. Then U Is
rrxidy for actual lire. The negative plate
l made very different. FlrM a lot of j-qinro
loxcniUM are east * of a mixture of chloride
of lead and chloride of * lnr. Those are
white and stone-like In composition. Chan-
ncM are- left In their sides and edges. They
nre placed In a moulding frame , and the
lead and antimony grid M forced oil around
them and Inte their cliai'tiels , while It Is
partly molted , by mean * * ; f u force pump.
Then a pure zinc plate Is wet with sul
phuric acid and laid over the prepared
plate. The zinc plate makes a galvanic
battery In combination with the other , and
the acid eats out all the r.lnc In the. chlo
ride lozenges and IMVW Ilio livid In them
In metallic form and full of holes like the
llmgt of Hponges. This plalo is now ready.
It will be seen that earh plate contains
bodies of lead or oxide , each of which olTern
n vast surface to the union of thp ncld
solution , ns compared with Plnutc's original
plain plates.
CHAHOING THE PLATES.
The aetInn of n eh.irslug cuivent upon
these plates Is to change both the metallic
lead in the negative and the oxide of lead
In the positive plate Into suli-Imte of lead.
This ehaiiKi' docs not atfeet the form of the
fillings of the grids , but call be detected
by a rhanirf1 In color. When this change
has been duly effected tin- battery hns been
charged. Connect the two platct * lu a cir
cuit of wire and the sulphate of lead In
each iilale begins to change back. In the
one to metallic lead and In the other to
oxide of lead. ThiMO alternating changoa
can go on Indefinitely , and It Is asserted
that plntcs which have been In use In
Europe for ten years nre ntlll In good con
dition. From each pair of plates n current
Is produced of about two volw pressure ami
of a quantity of ampereago dependent upon
the size of the plates.
Europe pro.lturi ] a practicable storage
battery and found uses for It long before
America took It up. One of the earliest uses
found for It then , and one of the largest to
day. Is In connection with water powers for
lighting towns. This use will explain also
the general manner in which these bat-
tcrlcs are used everywhere. There nre many
places where streams offer power enough
If used during twenty-four houra of each
day to supply nil the electric lights that an
adjacent city needs and perhaps a considera
ble surplus , and this without putting in an
expensive dam. Hut tho'Vlcmaml for lights
takes place only at night and only during an
average of four or live hours of the night.
To store up the How of water until night
would require great sums for dams , and then
to produce the current needed for the town
would take big water wheels and dynamos.
Instead a water wheel Is put In which will
Just use the ordinary ( low of the stream.
This runs a small dynamo which sends a
constant current Into a storage battery , and
( hero the current Is stored up until night ,
when it can be drawn out as rapidly as It
Is required. In Switzerland alone there are
nearly 200 of these llglitlug plant.1 * , working
from little mountain streams. Such a plant
has just In en put In at Woonsockrt. U. I.
A moro Interesting use for the storage
battery In In private houses. One of the
first to be supplied with a storage battery
Is the , country home of Governor Morton at
Ellerslle on the Hudson. During tlio day
time , when the strain engine which sup-
pllcu the power for other purposes Is not
fully employed , Its power Is uced to run a
dynamo wlicso current Is ntorcxl In the
storage battery. At night while the engineer
slteps and the engine Is at rtst , the gov
ernor can have his whole place lit up and
k < * p the lights going until daylight If he
wants to , and there Is never a question of
current to supply them. At Hiltmore. the
palace of Gcorgo W. Vandcrbllt , near Ash-
vllle , N. C. , thrro Is a battery of sixty
cells , capable of supplying 00 Incandescent
lamps for ten hnura.
There was a description In the Sun a
while ago of a private house In West
Seventy-sixth stnet. New York , where the
lighting was all done by electricity , and an
automatic elevator was also operated from
the same source. The power came- originally
from a gas engine , and no care or knowledge
was needed In running any part of the
plant except what an ordinary house servant
possesses. Once every day or two a servant
goes to the gas engine , turns on the gas , and
starts the machinery. Then she goes away
and Ic/eks the door. The storage battery
docs the rest. Tlio engine drives a dynamo
r.nd charges the storage battery. When the
battery IH charged a current la Kwltclicd
off , which , by mcano of a magnet , turns off
the gas and stops the engine. Touch a but
ton and the lights are turned on whenever
you want them , or touch a similar button
and the elevator rises to your Hoer , stops
and awaits yoifr pleasure. You get In. close
the door , and touch another button and the
elcv > itor goes to the floor whose button you
li.ivo chosen , and no one outside can call
It until yen arc out and have again closed
the door behind you. Nearby is another
hotiEo where , with similar absence of super
vision , a storage battery furnishes the power
to heat the IIOUBO , cook ami Iron , besides
running an elevator and lighting the house.
DEMAND FOR STOKED POWER.
Two of the Edison electric lighting sta
tions in New YorU City have great utorauo
battery auxiliaries , and the sub-basement of
the new- Howling Green building Is to bo
used In part for another great battery which
call be charged from the Pearl street s'n-
tion to take the peak of the load when nil
Ilio oliico down town burst Into n blaze of
light almost at once In the early night of
the fall and winter. Tlio Hartford Electric
Lighting company Is said to have the larg
est storage battery In the world. This con
sists of 130 cells , capable of giving out a
current of 10,000 ampere hours. The West
ern Union Telegraph company lias also be
come a great user of these cells. In Us
larger slatlons outside of New Yoik It be
gan putting in stoiage cells about two and
one-half cnrs ngo. and U is said now lo
have 20,000 of them In use. These have-
supplanted 70.000 of the old cliomlcul grav
ity cells In which the current wan pro
duced by tmlns.me plates mm muc vnriui.
The coat Is Mild lo be 18 cents a year for
each of the new cells , against $1.75 a year
for each of the old ones. The company has
such plants In Washington nmj Atlanta , and
a ne.v one hns just been added at Now Or
leans , In which SCI of the new cells are
used. Many Pullman cars are 11-jh'ad Irom
storage cells , and the coaches of tlio Inler-
colonlal railway of Canada are slmilaily
SUDDllcd.
The new Holland submarine torpedo boat
Is to have a battery of storage cells to
drlvo it when It Is submerged , ' 'atubla of
running it sixty miles. There was a road
motor at the American Institute f-iir which
was operated by a storage battery , and
there are many electric laum.hci In use mip-
ulled with the storage baitcrv.
A drawback to a more extended uxo U Iho
cost of these batteries. A bauery which
will gjvo one-horse power for oigr.t hours
weighs about 1,000 pounds , and a houao
plant capable of supplying an average 01
llfty slxteen-candlo power IncaudrBccnt
lumps at 110 volts' pressure would require
sixty cells , each about SxOxlO Inches and
would coat about $1,500. Two of the ordi
nary phonograph cells will run a sowing
machine or a small lathi ) or jigsaw. Some
cells are being used lu this way. Tlio
pcoplo who use them charge them at night
from the ordinary electric light current ,
and they can use them during the day
when the electric light currents are usually
cut off. They have to use a motor wound
( or a 1-volt current.

MADRID , Nov. 3. The sensational report
circulated in Iho 1'i.ltcil States by a news
agency that the town of Huclva hns been
swept by n tidal wave from the Atlantic
ocean and that It Is known that the loss
of llfo has been terrible , Is untrue.
It Is also false that the steamship Carta
gena has been
overwhelmed by n great wave
and that must of the persons on lio.ird her
were drowned. The. two sensatloi.s were
probably based upon the elfeets of the storm
which swept over Seville on Wednesday last
( announced In American newspapers exclu
sively by the Associated PITKS ) whleh canned
n number of fatal wrecks. The bodies of
the drowned nre now coming ashore at
lluelvn nml nt Cartagena , the Spanish sea
port IN the Mediterranean and almost on
to Ihe side of Spain , a sailing vcpsql hn *
foundered and It Is feared several persons
were drowned. This npparenlly was the
basis upon which the slartliug statement
ot the "overwhelming" of the steamer C.ir-
lagena and the "drowning of most of the
persons on board her" was based.
