BATTLESHIP FLEET
RIDES OUT A GALE
AT MONTEREY
The Illinois Parts Her Anchor
Chain and Jost Misses Crash*
ing Into the Alabama.
STORM MAY DELAY
THE SHIPS' DEPARTURE
' MONTEREY, C«l.. May 3.-A north-
west gale sweeping Into the harbor gave
the eight ships of the second division of
the Atlantic fleet several hours of watch-
fulness last night and cut off all com-
munication with the shore. A serious
aocident was narrowly averted when the
battleship Illinois, second In line from
the Alabama, flagship of Rear Admiral
Cporry, parted her anchor chain In the
height of the blow and went drifting to-
ward the shore.
The Illinois headed directly for the Ala-
bama and it looked for a long time like
a collision wa* imminent. But heroin
work by the helmsmen managed to steer
tha drifting ship away and the only dam-
an was the tearing away of the port
gangway of the Alabama.
The Illinois drifted fully WO yards be-
fore her emergency anchors, sent spin-
ning into the white-capped waters, XI-
nally held her fast.
The wind continued today and the Illi-
nois made no attempt to reguin her po-
sition in tlia fourth division column.
A thousand liberty men were ashore
and the problem of finding a place for
them to sleep severely taxed the avail-
able buildings in Monterey.
Admiral Sperry's barge from the Ala-
bama had a hole stove In her bow us
the result of a collision with the ship's
gangway and was beached later In the
night. A schooner laden with lime also
went ashore.
It was said that if the lilow continued
It might delay the departure of the sec-
ond squadron ships for Santa Cruz to-
morrow.

ELECTION RESULT
IS PRACTICALLY
AS ANNOUNCED
Bailey Carries Every Congres-
sional District With One
Possible Exception.
TOTAL VOTE CAST IS
PROBABLY OYER MM
Little additional Information was re-
ceived from the various counties yester-
day on the result of Saturday's election.
It Is disclosed, however, that the total
vote cost will be In excess of 2VI,AOO and
that Mr. Bailey's majority will be in the
vicinity of 25,<W0, an announced by Tho
JCxrresB Sunday morning.
Mr. Bailey seems to have had a clean
majority in every Congressional district
In the State with the possible exception
of the Fifth, the Dallas district. Tho
counties of that district took deep inter-
est In the election.
Mr. Bailey's old Congressional district
did nobly for him, and It may be haz-
arded that but for the great majorities
In these home counties he would have
had blit a meagre endorsement by the
people.
Among the counties that gave antl-
Balloy majorities are? Bee. Bell, Bosque,
Brown, Burnet, Callahan, Cherokee, Col-
lingsworth, Comanche, Coryell, Coke,
Coleman, Dallas. De Witt, Krath, Halo,
Henderson. Hood. Houston— Irion,
Karnes, Knox, Lampasas, Manion, Mc-
Lennan, Milam, Mills, Mitchell, Navarro,
Runnels, Smith, Stephens, Sterling,
Schleicher. Sutton, Tom Oreen, Travis,
Upshur, Van Zandt, Williamson, Wood
and Young.
It la noticeable that East Texas turned
out In good shape for the Bailey ticket.
This was something of a surprise to
many of the anti-Bailey men, for the
reason that many of his most enthusi-
astic enemies have that section of the
State for their domicile.
Mr. Ballev will have a large majority
in the State convention to meet in Fort
Worth Mug 26, and it is probable that
no man wffl go to the Denver convention
w ho Is not for Bailey.
Following is a table of the Incomplete
turns so far as have been received:

FLOWERS CARRY A MESSAGE.
Maimed Bulgarian, Who Understood
No English, Wept Over Blooms.
A Bulgarian laborer was taken off a
train at the Union depot last week. Ills
left hand was roughly bandaged with
ragj and semed to have almost driven
him lnt,an> with pain. He was sent to
the general hospital, where he now is—
still unidentified. His hand bad evidently
been lr. contact with a buz* saw. The
wound had been neglected. The physi-
cians amputated two fingers. He Is still
In a dangerous condition.
The only words of Kngllsh thnt the
man is able to speak arc "Arkansas,''
"saw mill," and "me much sick." It is
thought tl.at he was injured In a lunibj.-
camp In Arkansas, put on the train by
his fellow-workmen and sent here. The
nurse at the hospital who has cared for
the man has beer, led to believe from his
lambllng talk and actions that ho has
two daughters somewhere In this coun-
r^'. H. Ream, spiritual director of the
Helping Hand Institute, took an Interest
In the homeless man In the land of
fctrange faces and a strange tongue. He
happened to tell the .story to Miss ,1. E.
Murray, a florist, yesterday afternoon.
"I wonder If flowers would speak to
hlra?" asked Miss Murray.
She made lip a large bouquet of roses
and a small bunch of violets to go with
them. These Mr. Ream took to the hos-
pital and gave to the foreigner, who for
days and days has done nothing but
nurse his Injured hand and moan with
the pain of It. The man held out his
sound hand for the flowers.
"Me?—Me?—" was all that he could say
Ms he took the bouquet.
"He started to give back the 'lowcrs-
couldn't believe his eyes," <aid Mr. Ream.
"Finally convinced that thiy were for
htm, he burled his face in them and cried
Just like a child—at the same time mur-
muring some soft words In his own pa-
tois. There was a common laborer from
a foreign land. You might think that a
flower and a weed would be the same
thing to him, but you can't tell me that
bouquet didn't tell him things—things
about kindness and sympathy—which
nothing else has told him since he met
with his accident in the Arkansas saw-
mill No, the language of flowers Is not
a matter of sentiment. It Is a universal
tongue*"—Kansas City Star.

DALLAS, Tex., May 3.—Tonight E. O.
Benter furnished to the newspapers
copies of an address signed by George
W. Riddle. The intention of the antl-
Balley State organisation to continue the
flglit on Senator Bailey Is made ap-
parent.
The statement is a lengthy one. It
again makes the charge that Senator.
Bailey posed as a prohibitionist in one
section of the State and as a local op-
tlonlst In another. Concluding the ad-
dress says In part:
"Every artifice that Intrigue and cun-
ning could suggest has been employed to
divert the attention of the public mind
from the real Issue involved In this con-
test. The partial success of those efforts
should not breed discouragement In any
mind. The important fact to be consid-
ered Is that In order to win votes to his
standard Bailey has everywhere renudl-
" tad has denied hie

BALTIMORE, Mil., May 3.-The gen-
eral conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, the governing body of the
denomination, will assemble in. Lyrlo
Hall, this city, for its quadrennial ses-
sion at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning
next. Among the Important questions
which will occupy the attention of this
deliberative assembly are the following:
Has the time come when the denomina-
tion should unite with others, Methodist
In type and policy, In restating Metho-
dist doctrines and faith?
Should presiding elders now appointed
h.v the bishops b«l%iected by the respec-
tive annual conference?
How may more adequate support be
provided for retired preachers, tired out
through long and faithful service?
THE RATNFALL^ AT BALLINGER.
There Were 9.14 Inches in March and
April.
Special Telegram to The Express.
BALLINGER, Tex., May 3.-Voluntary
Weather Observer E. M. Eubanks of this
place reports 1.44) Inches of rainfall here
during the month of March and a total
of 7.74 inches during the month of April,
making a total of 9.14 Inches.
The frost reported as having fallen on
the night of April 29 did considerable
damage to young tender vegetation.
The golden grain crop was never more
promising.
A magnificent scene to behold on one of
Runnells County's farms Just now Is a
500-acre field of oats growing on S. N.
Alexander's place, twenty-six miles north
of Balllnger, some of which Is now ripen-
ing. Estimating an average yield of
forty bushels per acre, his crop would
total 20.000 bushels, debarring hall storms,
etc., and at 30 cents per bushel, oats now
retailing here at 65 cents per bushel,
which cuts the price more than half,
will make Tils oat crop alone yield him
$6000.
POOR STATE FOR PHYSICIANS.
Remarkable Health Statistics of the
Methow Valley, Washington.
A remarkable showing of tho healthful-
ness of the State of Washington Is fur-
nished In the Methow Valley, In Okano-
gan County. During the past year there
has not been a single death in that val-
ley, which has a population of 5000. In
the valley there Is but a single physician,
and he has not found work enough to
keep him busy. The healthfulness thus
shown is not confined to the Methow Val-
ley. It is an attribute of all parts of tho
State, a fact which will be abundantly
demonstrated in future statistical tables,
when the State's registration figures are
recognized and reported with those of
other States.
ITp to this time official publications on
the death rate are confined to the cities
of the State where there Is registration of
all deaths. Those figures make a re-
markable showing. For example, a re-
cent bulletin of the Census Bureau shows
that the death rate in Seattle for 1906
was but 12.7 per 1000 Inhabitants, while
in the Tacoma the death rate was but
11.9 per 1000, figures lower than are to bo
found in other cities of similar popula-
tion.
At that, the bulletin does not, in fact,
do full Justice to either city. For exam-
ple, the rate in Seattle Is based on the
Census Bureau's assumption that the
population of Seattle In 1908 was but 104.-
169, an absurdly low estimate. There are
more names In the Seattle directory than
the whole number of people estimated to
be in the city two years ago according
to the Census Bureau.
When attention waa directed to the ex-
tremely low estimate of Seattle's popu-
lation. the Director of the Censua took
the remarkable ground that to credit
Seattle with a larger population would be
to show such a low death rate as to be
absurd. He Insisted that the local esti-
mates of population must be erroneous,
because they did not correspond with
what he considered a proper death rate
for that number of people. By this logic
It Is clear that. Instead of a population
of 5000, there cannot be any people In
the Methow Valley, because there were
no deaths there last year.-Seattle Post-
Intelligencer.
