ADMINISTRATION SCORED.
Denounced for Interfering i'm the
MnyornItx Contest.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE principal poll
tical events of the day were former Post
master Charles w. Dayton's acceptance of
the nomination for controller on the Henry
George ticket; Mayor Strong's first speech
for Seth Low, In which he resented the in
reference of the national administration in
the Greater New York campaign, and Tam
many Halls ratification meeting, which
was neither so we'll attended nor so enthu-
siastic as the leaders had hoped it would
be. The Citizens Union is holding numer-
GUS meetings. and Henry George is about to
take the stump.
Speaking at a crowded Citizens Union
mass meeting tonight Mayor Strong made
a vigorous plea for Seth Low. He said:
When Folger ran for Governor and was
defeated by nearly 100000 majority the ma
tional administration tried to interfere In
the affairs of the State of New York If
the foundation principles of the Republican
party are so weak that it is necessary to
have a member Of the Cabinet interfere in
our municipal affairs, the foundations have
been knocked from under the party
Speaking from the same platform and Inn
mediately after Mayor Strong, Gen Anson
G. McCook handled the Mckinley adminis-
tration without gloves for its interference.
He said, in part: MY Republicanism is
not to be challenged by Senator Thurston
Of Nebraska or Senator Foraker OF Ohio.
l don't challenge their right to come here.
but 1 do question the propriety and their
good faith. If Senator Thurston wishes to
teach Republican principles, let him go to
his own Ssate. which last year cast it's vote
against the Republican candidate. They
need instruction there-we don't in the
State of New York (Applause.) One of
these gentlemen said that every original
Mckinley man would vote for the candi-
date of Tom Platt nominated at Carnegie
Hall. / know of one original Mckinley
man who won't do So" General McCook
concluded by saying ne would vote against
General Tracy. If for no other reason than
the refusal of the Platt convention, which
nominated him, TO say a word of commen-
datiOn for the Strong administration
which he said. was the best by far ever
given to New York.
Seth Low to-day entertained Lord Kelvin
the famous British scientist. Tonight he
addressed 900 enthusiastic people at the
Claremont- avenue rink. Brooklyn Former
Secretary of the Treasury Charles s. Fair
child the principal speaker at a big

Reply of the Supreme Court.
Following is the courts reply:

Washington, Oct. 13.
Dear Brother Field--We are profoundly
moved by the letter in which you announce
to us your retirement from the bench. The
termination of a judicial career of such
length and distinction cannot fail to inspire
among all your countrymen, and indeed
wherever the realm of jurisprudence ex-
tends keen sense of loss which, to your
colleagues, assumes the aspect of a per-
sonal bereavement. For the intimacy neces-
sarily incident to the conduct of work so
constant, so eXacting, and of such vital i'm
portance as ours, inevitably draws us to-
gether by ties of the closest character
which cannot be dissolved without emotions
of deep sadness and regret. We feel that
our parting involves not simply the de-
privation of the assistance afforded by your
learning your vast experience, and your
eafaestness in advocacy of your convictions,
but the severance of those relations which
have contributed so much to tighten the
hardest labors of the road.
This is not the time or place to dwell
on the reputation you have achieved a
jurist. The record is made up, and may
safely be committed to the judgment of
posterity. But we cannot part with you as
an active member of the court without the
fervent expression of the hope that you
repose you have so thoroughly earned, and
the commendation bestowed on good and
faithful service. We are. dear Brother
Field, your affectonate brethren.

TERRITORY OF LINCOLN
HOW 1T rs PROPOSED TO DIVIDE
ALASKA AND ITS ISLANDS.
City to Be Founded with the View of
Making 1t n Capital-New Channel
In the Yukon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. H.--The CorWin
brought the news from st. MichaePs that
Father Barnum, who has conducted a mis-
sion for many years there, is authority for
the statement that channel not yet
known to navigation exists at the mouth of
the Yukon river. He states that it Is close
to the south side, and will permit steam
ers, by avoiding the shallow bars, to pro-
ceed up the river for distance Of 800 miles.
This winter Collector of Customs Anders
and Captain Peterson will explore and try
to establish the new channel
A letter from Unalaska, dated Sept. SO
says: Should the proposed territory Nof
Lincoln be created by division of Alaska it
will have as it's southeastern boundary Mt.
ST. Elias. From that point the eastern
boundary will run directly to the Arctic
ocean, which will form the northern boun-
Diary. The western boundary will likely run
down the coast line below st. AIichaels to
the top of the divide between the Yukon
and continue to Kokym river The boun-
dary on the south will follow the sixty
second parallel east to Copper river swhere
it will cut down to St. Elias. Should the
division occur and the boundary lines men,
toned prevail, Alaska proper would then
include the Aleutian islands, the coaling
stations of Dutch harbor and Unalaska,
and the rest of the Alaskan peninsula, the
Island of Unga and it's quartz mines, Ko-
diak island, kanai peninsula and the plac-
er mines of Cook inlet, Prince William
sound and Copper river, the towns of
Wrangel, Sitka, Juneau, Dyea, Skaguay
and the passes the overland route to
the Yukon. Within the new territory
would be the rich placers of the Yukon
as far east as the boundary line. It would
also include the numerous settlements and
trading posts from st. Michael's to Circle
City, aggregating a population at present
of over 5000 whites and 5000 natives.
Weare May BE "LincoIn's" Capital.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-In view of the
reports of the expected founding of a new
city in Alaska, to be known as Weare, on
the Yukon river, between the boundary
line of British Columbia and st. MichaePs
with the design of making it the capital Of
the proposed new territory it may be pos
sible that the Interior Department may find
it necessary to locate the new land office
there instead of at Circle City where it
was originally contemplated. Reports have
reached here that Circle City, until lately
virtually the only settlement on the Yukon
river, has been practically abandoned
w. l.. Diston, of Illinois, recently ap-
pointed surveyor general of Alaska, has
telegraphed the Interior Department that
he is now EN- route for Sitka- The depart
ment has been notified of the presence at
Sttka of the recently appointed register and
receiver Of the land Office established at
that place. Hereafter all surveys of min
eral lands in Alaska, including of course
the Yukon region and all other parts Of the
Territory as well as all entries made must
be reported to the Sitka office.
