famine in the Yukon valley will be re-
lieved. DIR. Sheldon jackson, en- route
from the Klondike to Washington, said
that the recent order of Secretary Alger
to Colonel Randall, in command OF the
military reservation at St. Michaels.

much suffering.
DIR Jackson has in the herd 200
head of reindeer trained to harness.
He also has two Laps and several Esqui-
maux experts in driving deer. whom he
can turn over to Colonel Randall. He
further states that the present exigency
emphasizes the urgent need OF procur-
ing trained reindeer in large numbers;
that the mines Of Alaska are SO pecul-
iarly situated that they cannot be sup
piled with continuous adequate food
supply until reindeer transportation Is
systematically organized on large scale.

The Lakme Arrives.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 2.-Charles
Hosmer, general manager of the Pacific
postal telegraph system, today said, ro-
garding Geographic communication
with the Klondike, that he understood
the Dominion government had this
matter under consideration. There are
no insurmountable difficulties in the
way, either in the construction or in
the maintenance of telegraph line via
Ashcroft and Quesnelle, which was the
route adopted in 1866 for connecting
Asia and America via the Behring sea.
This route passes through the present
Klondike country. A line connecting
Quesnelle, the northernmost point in
British Columbia reached by tele-
graph, and Dawson City, if decided
upon within the next few months, could
be put in operation by this time next
year. Stations could be established
every 40 miles, and they would be
used in connection with the mounted
police and other departments. Mr..
Hosmer leaves for Victoria this even
ing, and will proceed thence to San
Francisco.

Uncertain in Ohio and Maryland.

Cincinnati, Nov. affections oc-
Cured Yesterday in 10 states, and in
only two of them is the result in doubt.
{ In Ohio, both sides claim the victory,
though the Republicans have probably
elected the state officers, including
Governor Bushnell. There is also
reason to believe that they will have a
majority of two or three in the legisla-
ture, which will mean the return of
Mark Hanna to the United States sem
ate. The Maryland returns are still
incomplete, but such figures as are at
hand indicate that United States Sena-
tor German will succeed himself. In
Massachusetts, Wolcott is elected gov
ernor by about 10000 plurality, even
Democratic Boston showing up well in
his favor. Pennsylvania will have a
prohibitionist, S. G. Swallow, for treas
urer, and Republican, L. @. McCau-
ley, for auditor-general. The only
state Office contested for in Kentucky,
clerk of the court of appeals, goes to S.
]. Shackleford, a Democrat. Iowa
elects L. M. Shaw, Republican, gov
ernor, by about $4,000. In Nebraska,
the fusion ticket was successful by from
10000 to 10000.

TIGERS ON TOP.
Van Wyck Will Be the Next Mayor OF
New York.

New York.
New York, Nov. 4.-Tammany's vic
tory in the first municipal election in
Greater New York is sweeping one.
Seth Low was successful to the extent
OF polling an aggregate vote in excess
OF the lao, 900 pledged by the sigma
lures of the petition upon which he be-
came the candidate of an independent
movement.
At the outset, they offered to join
hands with the Republican party organ
ization in concerted effort to exclude
Tammany from power in the greater
city to come into being January /, 1898,
with population the second in magni-
tude Of the great cities of the world.
The offer was declined, on the ground
that in such movement the Repuh-
lican organization would participate
only coincidentally with the other party
to the compact, and the citizens union,
on the other hand, refused to recall it's
nomination Of Mr.. Low.
On the city ticket with Judge Van
Wyck, Bird s. Coler is elected con-
troller and Randolph Guggenheim pres
ident of the municipal council.
The executive branch of the city gov
eminent is Tammany- Democratic. 1t
is double headed body, one branch be-
ing the municipal council, consisting of
the president and 80 members; and the
other the board of aldermen, compris-
ing $50 members. The precise num-
Der of Democrats chosen cannot be
stated at the present writing.
There appears to be strong proba-
bility that the Democrats have won a
majority Of the county and borough
Offices along with the municipal places.
The vote of Van Wyck in New York
county is approximately the same as
was cast for Bryan in 1896, which was
135, 1924. General Tracy, Republican,
polled approximately $4,000, against
McKinley's vote of 1868 in New
York county; while Low, citizens
union, polled approximately $1,000,
and George, Jefferson Democrat, H.,
900.
In Kings county, which includes the
city of Brooklyn, the Bryan vote was
1852, while Van Wyck's will be al
most the same; against McKinley's
vote of 100, 1876, General Tracy polls
approximately $4,000, while Lows vote
is approximately $4,000.
In these two counties the straight
Republican vote shows falling off of
nearly It's, 1000, or in excess of the
total vote for Low, while the Tammany
vote equals, if it does not slightly ex-
coed, that cast for Bryan.
The polling came within about so,
900 of the entire registration, which,
considering the weather conditions un-
der which the election proceeded, was
all that could be expected.
Whatever might have been the result
had Henry George survived the cam
paign, the election, from the earliest
returns, showed that the substitution
of the son for the father as the mayor
atty candidate of the Thomas Jefferson
Democracy had proved a failure from
any but the sentimental point of view.
In fact the George candidacy had made
but beggarly showing, scarcely 5 pei
cent of the vote in New York, counted
up to O'Clock, having been cast for the
son of the author of Progress and
POyertyo

Chesterfeld's eyes brimmed over.
He put up his hand hastily to brush
the moisture away. John stepped
back through the open door. A lady
came in and Judge Neal looked again
upon the face around which his dreams
had centered for the past sixteen
years. The personality of the ideal
he had loved and worked for, the star
that had guided and shaped his life.
Obeying an impulse, he stretched
out his arms Ruth hesitated a mo
ment, her grave eyes fixed on his stern,
noble face, and then, without word,
went straight into them. She laid
her brown head where he always
wanted, had always hoped that some

1t was 4 damp. rainy evening and
John McCree and his friend entered
the comfortable club and ordered
dinner. They had been to college
together, but fifteen Years had lapsed
since their last meeting Between
them was Il tie that tinctured their
friendship with something like tender
ness. They talked OF all those things
that seemed so vague and distant in the
past, unit! some kindred soul endows
them with life, the teachers they had
loved, the dear alma mater. of them
selves and how life had Jared with
them since their parting.
They left the table and in the COM
Portable anre-room SAT and smoked,
talked and thought. John McCree
and his friend We're men of iudepen-
dent fortune, but had chosen different
pursuits in life. Their Young man
hood had been unrestrained by home
influence. Among their college mates
they were distinguished for their
recklessness. They We're careless and
given, in mild way, to sowing their
wild oats. Neal had been the ring
leader. Nothing sssiuel to hazardous
for him to attempt. His physical
strength was superb and his courage
and fortitude almost without limit.
Suddenly Neal turned shortly. His
old haunts knew him no more. With
remarkable yigor he threw himself
into the legal profession. From wild
boy he had changed completely into
grave man. His cordial manner was
the same, but all who knew him felt
the great change.
His studies took him away from his
Old associates and later he established
himself in the metropolis.
The fire burned low. Neal surveyed
his friends handsome profile for few
moments and then asked, abruptly:
John, why have you never mar
ried -
"I-oh why haven t you, Chess"
Tell me first, laddie.'
"To tell the truth, Neal, | never
cared much FOR ladies. My mother
well, you know what she was. She
broke my fathers heart. Ny sister
she was the elegant Mrs. WelIoby: we
| won't talk Of her now. Women are
all the same, Neal. To crafty their
| feverish love for admiration they will
sacrifice anything. They are deceitful
and insincere. Why, look at them in
the street, III public places, their af-
! lection is sickening. Look at them
| in the art galleries. How they raise
/ their eyes to Il famous or infamous
picture. Their bosoms heave with
suppressed emotion. How beautiful
softly breath t soft lips, low lest the
air would be profamed in the presence
of such art and beauty. DO they
think it beautiful and grand No.
/ They want to show the bystanders
how much they know of art; how
/ deeply they are moved. Question one
! Of them and she could not tell you one
/ thing about the picture.
Even III the sick room they want
to be observed; want to be noticed.
| See them Oh the streets. The very
dresses they wear are so constructed
! as to cover their defects in form.
