show increased gains for the Republicans in
this congressional district. Gen. Gof1's ma
iority for Congress is estimated as high as
1000 by ssngHiue Republicans. The Demo-
crats concede his election. The returns
from the Second District also give large gains
for the Republicans, but not enough TO elect
John w. Mason, the Republican candidate.
He telegrsphs tonight that he is beaten by
about 500, which Is a reduction of about
1000. Gibson (Dem.) is said to be elected
by 1000 to 1900 in the Fourth District, and

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST THE CoLLEC TOR
OF CUSTOMS AT slTKA.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE charges
made by Commander Pearson, commanding
the United States steamship Wachusett,
stationed at Sitks, Alaska, against Gou-
veneur Morris, collector OF customs for that
district, have been referred by the Secretary
OF the Navy to the Secretary of the Treasury.
The charges are of serious character, in
Guiding frauds upon the government in con-
neclion with the importation and sale of
liquor, drunkenness, the ruthless slaughter of
Indian dogs, arbitrary and aggressive conduct
toward the natives, as well as toward officers
of the government having business with him,
and also with an unwarrauted and over
bearing exercise of authority. It is further
represented that he is In perpetual conf ct
with the natives, and also with the naval Off
GERS on duty at that station, and that his re-
tention in Office is likely TO result in serious
outbreak among the Indians. The case will
be brought to the attention of Secretary Fol-
ger As soon as be returns to this city.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, October u.-Dr.
Lewis Swift, director of The Warner Observa-
tory, says that the new comet discovered BY
DR.. Schmidt, at Athens, is unquestionably a
fragment OF the great comet, broken off at
its psrihilisn passsge. This proves that the
great comet must have grszed the sun, and
has hence passed through the terrible crisis.
This is the second instance on record where
8 comet has been disrupted-the first ons
being Rielio's comet, in 1916.

THE JsANNETTE INQUIRY.
ANOTHER SHORT MEETING OF THE BOARD
WITNESSES EXAMINED.


WITNESSES EXAMINED.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-The Jeannette
board held another short session this after
noon. Commodore Calhoun, who was COM
mandant at the Mare Island navy-yard
when the Jeannette was fitted out, testified
as to the organization of the board of in-
spection, and stated that the alterations
and repairs recommended by the board
were made, and that at the time she sailed
he regarded the Jeanette as perfectly sea-
worthy. He coincided, however, in
the opinion expressed by the board in
their report to the Navy Department at
that time, that from her construction it was
not possible to make her particularly adapt
ed for long cruise in the Arctic regions.
Capt. johnson was turthpr examined, and
cofroborated the statements of Commodore
Calhoun. Both gentlemen are of the opin-
ion that it would be impossible TO construct
vessel, of either wood or iron, that could
successfully Withstand the strain to which
the Jeanette was subjected.

This is the second assessment that has
been levied this year, some OF the employees
having paid much as $40 on the previous
one, and, naturally, thought themselves ex-
empt from further extortion. The last cir
cular found the boys in rather tight place,
some of them having to borrow money TO
meet the demand, which they had TO do or
lose their places. Some few have refused
to be robbed in this manner, and they are
sustained by the rulings of the department.
In the last official Postal Guide is the follow
ingy
In regard to contributing funds for campaign
purposes, postmasters are informed that it is en-
tirely optional with the party addressed. The
Postoffica Department cannot answer for any
ether department, but for itself does not consider
it any part of its official duty TO dictate to its
own private funds. The department comedies the
right TO all its employees TO decide for themselves
whether or not they will make u voluntary con-
trisution TO aid in meeting the necessary and
legitimate expenses OF a campaign.
The whole matter, however, is an outrage
on deceucy, and should be stopped.

Built on a New Model.

From the providence Journal.
A peculiarly constructed boat has lust been
built for NJ. II. Sanford by John Stoddard, boat
builder on Long Wharf, Newport R. l. 1t is at
variance with the established rules of boat
building. and constructed according to a special
design furnished by it's owner, who wished to
embody the principle Of the catamaran, as
nearly as possible, i'm one boat. 1t is after the
pattern of cat boat, but very wide and very
shallow for its length, with parallel sides and
perfectly fiat bottom. 1t may be briefly
described by stating that it is made on model
exactly opposite to that employed in the con-
struction Of the Scottish yacht Madge, that at
tracted much attention three months ago. and
beside which it now lies. The dimensions are
as follows: Length, "a feet; width, 12l1 feet:
DEPTH % inches; width of stern, 10 feet; height
of mast, 81 feet; length Of boom, % feet: gaff.
Is feet; hoist of sail, "a feet. The boat is con-
structed Of oak, pine and cedar, copper
fastened, and has measurement of six tons
The sail will be large and fitted with an extra
reef, which will be let out only when racing. as
the boom would swing too low for comfort on
pleasure excursions. The ballast is in the shane
of an iron keel, 5x2 inches. The vessel when
viewed from above, presents the appearance of
an elongated saucer.
