Return to the States.

Port Townsend, Wash, Nov. 4.-The
steamer Al-Ki arrived al midnight from
Alaskan points with ninety passengers,
three fourths of whom were from
Skaguay. Among the passengers were
two surveying parties which have been
operating along the Stickeen river for
the past ten weeks, one party in the in
terests of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road company, and the other in the in
terests of the Dominion governments.
The Al-l<i brought but one passenger,
Fred Compton of Seattle, from Dawson

Bagh, where the Afridis rising origi

the political and fanatical intrigue that

touched and was not entered but the
trees in the grove were hewed down
as a mark of punishment and a sign of
victory. The enemy offered a feeble
resistance and was easily dispersed, but
as yet the tribesmen have made no pro-
posals of peace.

Tammany Victorious i'm the Greater New

New York, Nov. 4.-The result Of the
first municipal election in Greater New
York completely reverses the conditions
of 1896, when McKinley's plurality in
the same territory was 56.S65. The plu-

entire ticket is elected by majorities
ranging from 10000 to 100000 Coler's
plurality over Fitch, Republican cam

The Result in Virginia.

Richmond. Va, Nov 4.-The result of
the election in Virginia is a Democratic
victory. While not more than 20 per
cent of the entire vote of the state was
cast the Democrats elected their candi-
dates by a majority estimated at 50,-
900. The legislature is unquestionably
Democratic, and the Republican contin-
gent will be much smaller than last
year. The returns. received give little
hope of success anywhere to the nomi-

Lower House Democratic.

Baltimore. Nov. 4.-With semi-ofiicial
returns from al; the counties in the
state except st. Mary's and Calvert, and
fairly good estimates from there, the
Democrats appear to have elected
enough members to the next Legislature
to give them a majority of five on joint
ballot and to insure them a United
States senator to succeed Senator Cor
man.
Official returns may be necessary to
decide the position Of some Of the coun-
ties, and these may alter the result. but
from the best obtainable figures at this
time, the Democrats appear to have a
total of sixty-one legislative votes.
while the Republicans have fifty-six.
The state senate will be Republican by
probable majority of four. while the
Democrats appear to have captured the
lower house by a majority OF nine.

st. Petersburg. Aug. Sat the state
banquet given by the Russian emperor
and empress to Emperor William and
Empress Augusta Victoria last night,
Emperor Nicholas, toasting his imper-
ial guest, said:
The presence of your majesties
causes me very lively satisfaction. 1
desire sincerely to thank you for the
visit, which is a fresh manifestation of
the traditional bonds uniting US, and
the good relations so happily estab-
lished between our two neighboring
empires. 1t is. at this time, a precious
guarantee of the maintenance CT the
general peace which forms the object
of our constant efforts and our most
fervent wishes. I drink to the health
of Emperor King William and EN-
press Queen Augusta Victoria and to
the health of all the members of their
august family
Emperor William, shortly afterwards,
raised his glass TO his host and said:
Il thank your majesties with a warm
heart, speaking also il the name of the
cent reception you have ac-
corded US, and for the gra-
ciouS words with which your
majesty has so affectionately welcomed
US. l especially desire to lay at the
feet of your majesty my most sincere
and most grateful thanks for the re-
newed mark of distinction which comes
as such a surprise to me. l mean the
enrolment of myself in your majesty's
n fc nfcI
honor which I am able to appreciate
to its fullest extent, and an honor
which at the same time confers a par
ticular distinction upon my own nay.
1T is a fresh proof of the continu-
ance of our traditional intimate rela-
tons. Founded upon the unshakable
basis Of your majestys unalterable res
olution to keep your people in peace
in the future, as in the past, it finds
in me also the gladdest echo. Thus
we will pursue the same paths and
strive unitedly, under the blessings. of
peace, to guide the intellectual deVel-
opment of our peoples. l can, with full
confidence, lay this promise anew in
the hands of your majesty, and l know
| have the support OF my whole people
in doing so, that 1 stand by your ma
jesty's side with my whole strength in
this great work of preserving the peace
majesty my strong support against
anyone who may attempt to disturb
or break this peace. I drink to the
welfare of your majesties.'
The sentence in which Emperor Will
liam pledged Emperor Nicholas his sup
port against any attempt to break the
peace of the nations was spoken in
Russian.
The whole city and the ships lying
in the Nevah have been splendidly dec
Grated with flags and flowers today,
and the streets have been crowded, al
though the sky is overcast.
Emperor William and the empress
arrived at the landing stage at II a. M,
where the municipal authorities pre-
scented them with bread and salt on
specially constructed dishes as tokens
of hospitality of the city. With the

honor, they visited the fortress of ST..
Peter and st. Paul, and placed a
wreath upon the tomb of Alexander III.

BODY OF THOMAS MONAGHAN.
Found Near the Indiana Street
Bridge, Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. S.-The dead body of
Fireman Thomas Monaghan, Chief
Swenie's driver. came to the surface of
the river this morning and the crew
of a tug which was passing at the
time towed it TO the Indiana street
bridge, where it was taken on shore
and removed to Rolston's morgue at
IL Adams street.
The tug Frank R. Crane steamed
slowly uD the north branch Of the
river this morning. Captain A r.
Knaggs, chief engineer of the indie
pendent Tug company, and Captain
John Hennessey, IN charge of the tug.
were standing in the bow of the boat
and both were watching the murky
water intently Near the Indiana
street bridge the body of a man arose
10 the surface. The tug towed 1t TO
the bank A number of t1remen were
present and when the body was turned
face upward they at once recognized
the features of the CHEERS late driver
Thomas Monaghan
The dead driver, to all appearances,
received the full force Of the explosion
in the Northwestern elevator on TnurS-
dav evening. The body came 10 the
surface in the middle of the river, anc
when an examination was made OF the
remains it was found that both OF
MOnaghanS legs were DiOHSH OSiO
the knee and his left arm was also
broken. His uniform was torn into
shreds in places and his face bore eVI-
dences of having been severely burned
It is believed by the firemen who
were al the fire on Thursday evening
that Monaghan was standing on the
pier where it extended from the ele-
vator into the water. Some people VINO
were standing on the Indiana street
bridge stated after the explosion that
two men had been seen on the pier,
and that both were gone when the
smoke cleared away
Who Monaghans companion was on
the Dier no one seems TO know. His
remains are still unaccounted for and
the police believe that they will also
come to the surface of the water IN a
day or two. The officers, however, will
continue to drag the river.

The alleged non-partisan movement,
the genesis OF which was given in the
press yesterday, does not meet with
popular favor.
The idea yesterday was denounced in
emphatic terms by members of both
parties. and among Democrats the
opinion was almost universal that the
scheme is a deep laid plan to wrest
from them the victory which is already
conceded to be theirs if a straightout
and honest fight on strictly partisan
lines is made.
The personnel of the self constituted
committee to name the men whom
they believe should govern the city,
was also the subject OF much adverse
criticism. Every corporation of any
prominence doing business in the city
Is represented on the committee, the
critics say, and the further fact that
among The members are the most in
defatigable taXshirkerS in the state,
occasions comment Of the most vigor-
Gus nature. Democrats look upon the
movement as bearing a resemblance to
the movement in 1893, out of which
the Citizens party was Matched and
which resulted in some chagrin, al
were altogether different and there was
reason for such q movement. The more
conservative critics express the opinion
that one experiment of q non-partisan
administration is enough for any city
in a decade, and they insist that the
only way to insure an economical and
honest city government is TO place the
administratio ton in the hands of men
who will be responsible TO n living
party of the trusts reposed in them.
DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED.
Among the active Democrats a con-
census of opinion will show that they
are determined to preserve the auton-
only OF the party in this city; that they
DO not propose, by endorsing the
scheme, to acknowledge that the party
is not capable of nominating a ticket
of representative men who will care
of the interests of the taxpayers, and
who. by their administration, will re-
fleet credit upon their party. They cite
the splendid record now being made by
the county administration as an exam

Ntical honesty can accomplish, and are

the same sentiments.
