EXPLORING ALASKA.
Raft Voyage Down the Yukon of 1880
Milestone of the Worlds Greatest
Rivers.

SAN Francisco, Cal, Oct. 9.-Lieutenant
Schwatka, of Arctic fame, who, with his
party, was picked up by Lieutenant Ray at
St. Mchaels, speaking of his trip up the
Yukon river, in Alaska, says they started
from Fort Vancouver, w. T., May 81, being
detailed by General Miles, commanding the
department of Columbia, to make an ex-
ploration of the valley of the Yukon. They
travelled $500 miles overland to the strong
7headwaters OF the river, where they con-
structed a raft of logs to navigate the stream
to its mouth They procured crew OF six In
dians, and proceeded down the gradually in
creasing stream to within twenty-five miles of
Fort Chilcot, when the rapids were encoun-
tered. Down them the Indians refused to go,
and attempted to force the raft ashore.
Schwatka. in order to suppress the mutiny,
opened fire on the Indians, killing three,
when the others submitted and the rapids
were run. The voyage on the raft was 1923
miles. From the mouth of the Yukon they
proceeded to st. Michaels, where they board
ed the Leo for this port. Schwatka claims he
has been farther up the Yukon than any 9TH
er white man. This is denied by Signal Ser
vice Officer Leavitt, VINO has been stationed
at st. Michaels, and who also came down on
the Leo. He says he ascended the Yukon to
Fort Selkirk, 1000 miles from its mouth. He
describes the river as being one of the largest
in the world, discharging so per cent. more
water than the Mississippi, and at places is
seven miles in breadth.

Execution of McDonel for the Murder OF

Execution of McDonel for the Murder OF
Louis Laurent.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
Fort WAYNE, Oct, 9-lhe hanging of Sam.
McDonel, the murderer of Louis Laurent,
occurred at 1:27 this afternoon, iii the en-
closure of the Allen county Jail. Over 200
people witnessed the execution, which was
without hitch of any kind. McDonel dis
played the greatest nerve, and Sheriff
Schiefer, who sprung the trap, read unfalter-
ingly the long death warrant. McDonel
made no public confession on the gallows,
simply saying: Gentlemen, have nothing
to say, only 1 hope God will forgive me-"
The priests next claimed his attention, and
he listened with interest. Finally he raised
his eyes to the audience, and, making a
slight gesture with both hands, said in a
clear voice, without a tremor: Good by
to all of you" The deputy sher-
ifs then took cords and straps from
their pockets and bound him; the rope
was placed about his neck by Mr. Doyle, and,
as he drew the big knot to its place under
the left ear, the deputy stepped close to the
condemned man and asked him if he had

you have always treated me we'll as long as
have been in your charge" The moose was
then drawn close, so close as to make him
gasp, and the black cap was pulled over his
head. While the priests were praying with
him Sheriff Schiefer displaced the trigger with
his foot. The shelf on which McDonel stood,
dropped, and all was over. He fell six,rSsTo oat as

The tenor of the confession" was that he
had no fault to find with the judge or Jurors
who convicted him.

exceed 1900 The Republicans claim large
gains in the German wards, and say that
Foraker will overcome Newman's majority
of last year, which was 1O,689 The Demo
Gratis are equally hopeful that they have car
ried the entire county and State ticket.
1890 A. M-Seventeen precincts of 103 in
this city give a Republican gain of 1,577.
This is on Governor. No compilation has
yet been made of the county ticket
or the Legislature. This would give the
county to Hoadly by a small majority,
but, with the votes cast for the reform DEM
ocratic ticket, would leave the result
as to county and Legislature in doubt, with
the chances in favor of the Republicans.
There is no report of the actual strength of
the reform Democratic ticket yet made. While
the second amendment gets a large vote.
The majority against it will be sufficient
probably, to overcome the majority for it in
other parts OF the State.
A Dayton (Montgomery county, dispatch
says it is safe to say that the entire Demo
cratic county ticket is elected. There are
slight Republican gains all round and a
heavy vote for the second amendment.

HoadIy Probably Elected.
! Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


COLUMBUS, Oct. 10-1:45.-Cincinnat is
just coming in, with net Republican gains
in sixteen precincts of 1,400, at
which rate the Democratic ma
jority there may dwindle to 5000 or less.
Just one-fourth of the State shows a net Re-
publican gain of 1900. A report from the
northwest gives, unotficially, Democratic
gains of 1,500 and report from the south
of $500. These advices, if reliable and if
kept up at the present ratio, will give Hoadly
5000 majority and elect Democratic Legis-
lature.
Only little over one-fourth of the returns
are in. The net Republican gain is under
1000, against 10000 majority. Scant
returns from Cincinnati and Cleveland
indicate Republican gains. Hoadly and a
Democratic Legislature are probably elected
The prohibition amendment has a slight
majority which the cities are expected to
overcome.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 10-1230 A. M-Less than
one-fourth of the State has been heard from
at 1890 The returns are discouraging to
the Republicans, for the majority of the
rural districts are in, and show but gain of
400 in vote of 100000 If
this ratio should keep up the
Republicans will fall short at least 10. 900 of
overcoming the Democratic majority. Gin
cinnati and Cleveland still fail to report.
Governor Foster has just sent out kilograms
referring to the Republican gains, and say
ing that neither party feels disposed to claim
success. The Democratic committee, how
ever, are already jubilant.

THE DEALERS In MARGINS.
Chicago Markets Unsettled, and
Wheat and Corn Higher.

jumped in, and the buying was spirited
crowding prices up to the highest point. The
stampede which caused the advance cannot
last more than day or two, and no perma-
nency is predicted in higher prices.
Corn was in better demand for shipment
and advanced, with considerable strength.
The local crowd has good deal of faith in
corn, and prominent houses do not advise
selling at present May corn, they say, looks
like an excellent investment. On call, corn
was in good request, with sales of 651, 900
bushels, mostly November and May.
The speculative feeling in oats was
strengthened and higher range of values
was established.
Grain in store Oct. s: Wheat, 1882 900 bu.;

The Result in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 9.-When the polls closed
tonight the Republicans gave up nearly
every ward, and the Democrats
claimed everything in the city and
townships, but as evening progressed the
Republicans grew more hopeful and the
Democrats began to be doubtful. At l
O'Clock no ward has been fully counted,
and it is not likely the result in the city can
be ascertained definitely before morning.
But enough is known to show that the
Democrats lost and gained where
least expected. Probably the Democrats
elect most all the county candidates, but part
of the legislative thicket is IN doubt, and the
Democrats concede loss in the county
of 1,200 over last falls vote. A jubilee
meeting was held in the Tabernacle tonight
by the Women's Christian Temperance
Union. Telegraphic returns from the State
