A'.lentowu, Oct. 2S.—Declaring that
the Republican ticket would win a
sweeping victory at the election next
Tuesday, and that the attacks of Colo-:
nel Roosevelt on candidates of the Re
publican party and his support of a
Democrat for Governor, would not af
fect the result, Senator Boies Penrose
was widely cheered bv a crowd of more
than two thousand voters who packed
the Lyric theatre here last night. Re
publicans here say that the attendance
and enthusiasm of the meeting showed
that Colonel Roosevelt, who spoke at
Allentown Monday, made no impression
on Senator Penrose's following in Le
high county.
The Republican candidates made a
whirlwind tour through Lehigh county.
Lehigh is a political storm center. Sen
ator Penrose declared that the meetings
he had attended and the assurances of
support he had received from Demo
crats had convinced him that he would
carry the county.

The former President went back to!

SURVIVORS OF STEADIER
SUNK BY MINE ARRIVE IN
PORT: STORY OF DISASTER
Fleetwood, Eng., Oct. 28, via Lon
don, 4.18 A. M. —The trawler City of
London, arrived here early to-day with
1 the survivors of the British freight
steamer Manchester Commerce which
struck a mine late Monday night off
I the North coast of Ireland and sank.
: Captain Payne and thirteen of his crew
i were drowned while thirty others were
saved by the trawler Second Officer
| Gee told the story of the disaster. He
I said:
"The explosion occurred twenty
j miles north of Tory Island on the main
I trade route from Manchester to Ca»a
da. The ship began to sink at once
j and was beneath the waves seven mitf
j utes after striking the mine.
"The officers and crew exhibited the
greatest coolness under the circum
stances. We were able to launch only
fine lifeboat when the ship gave a sud
den lurch and went down. The captain
and officers who were at the moment
preparing to launch the other boats
were compelled to jump into the water
to try and save themselves bv swim
i ming to the single boat already launch
j ed. Several of them were carried down
! with the ship.
"I was swimming for twenty min
utes before I was picked up. The last
I saw of the captain he was giving or
ders for launching a second boat. ]
took command in the solitarv lifeboat
and we picked up all the survivors and
then cruised about for a long time
When satisfied that there were no mor(
to be saved we hoisted an impruvigec
sail. We had gone 42 miles when wi
were picked up by the trawler."
