THE RESULT or ELECTIONS.

THE RESULT OF ELECTIONS.
Probably every one by this time
has arrived at satisfactory con-
clusion as to the reason for the
somewhat unexpected developments
in the elections held Nov. 2, The
surprisingly large Swallow vote in
this State does not in our opinion
mean that Prohibition has gained
about ninety thousand followers
within the past two years. These
ninety odd thousand are just as
good Democrats and Republicans as
they ever were, but they are men
who are dissatisfied with party man.
agement, and opposed to the char
acter of the men placed in nomina-
ton for local offices, and hence
went to the polls and expressed
their feelings. 1t is healthy sign
for the body politic when men are
independent enough of party ties to
rebuke bossism in either party.
Organization is necessary to the sue
cess of any party but thorough
organization need not mean, nor
should it, the absolute dictation of a
few men as to who shall be its NOM
inees, and the aggrandizement of
their friends only. The sooner
state municipal and local govern
ment is placed in the hands of men
who desire to serve the best inter-
ests of their constituents and the
taxpayers, will the people realize
the benefit of having public offices
honestly and economically admins
tered. The voters are in the end
responsible for the manner in which
they are governed, and the way in
which taxes are expended,as well as
for the character of their servants,
and they are right in rebuking the
party bosses who fail to appreciate
their welfare and interests.

With its pages small and narrow,

And here and there letter gravely

In unexpected places, and knocking

SIR wILFRID's VISIT.
he WOULD SETTLE At ONCE ALL
our DISPUTES WITH CANADA.

The Coming Of the Dominion Prime Min
ister to BE Made the Occasion Of q
Discussion and Possible Adjustment Of
Many Perpiexins Controversies.
Washington, Nov. 10. - The COM
ingHof Sir Wiifrld Laurier, premier Of
Canada; Sir Louis Davies, minister Of
marine In the Laurier cabinet, and 9th
er officials Of the Dominion, who have
just arrived here. will have an inn
portant bearing, not only on the Be
ring sea settlement, but on all the
pending questions which have been
sources Of International complication
between the United States and Canada
namely, the passage OF alien laborers
to and from Canada, the north Atlantic
fisheries question, the presence Of
many Americans in the Klondike ter
ritory belonging to Canada and in the
mining regions Of British Columbia. the
fisheries trouble along the great lakes.
the bonded privilege granted Canadian
railroads. the controversy over rights
in the Frazier river British Columbia,
and in Puget sound, and the question
of reciprocity arrangement between
the United States and Canada. The es-
sential features Of Sir Wilfrid's mis-
sion were communicated to the officials
here by persons fully advised Of the
premier's plans, and II can be said that
the suggestion chat the decks be clear
ed Of existing disputes between Cana
da and the United States met with the
favor Of the administration.
While the Bering sea settlement oc-
casioned the visit of the Canadian pre-
mier, the Canadian authorities attach
less Importance to It than they do to the
other questions mentioned. They say
that the Canadian scaling interest is
confined almost entirely to the far west
ern territory where the sealers fit out,
and that even there considerable per-
centage OF the so called Canadian seal
ers hail from Seattle, San Francisco
and other American ports, who fit out
in Canadian ports under the British
fiag.
Among the plans suggested as basis
of settlement is that of an indemnity
large enough to permit Canada to buy
out the sealers and retire them from
business. with this done, the United
States, Russia, Japan, Great Britain
and Canada would be together in a sup
pressioa of pelagio sealing. There is no

VI tIIt Ha5UNyFdtIUII5 OptH,
Thek4llen Labor Question.

I'll the negotiations open.
Thea allen Labor Question.
Premierf Laurier and his associates
will urge strongly that the border inn
migration question be definitely settled.
Under the premier's direction the Cana
dian parliament passed an alien immI-
grafton law iast spring, by which Amer
ican contractors and American labor
were barred from competing in the work
on the Crows Nest Pass railway, a gov
ernment undertaking in western Cana
da. On the other hand, It is claimed by
the Canadians that about 5000 Amer
leans are In the Klondike territory be-
longing to Canada and that fully 10000
American contract laborers are work
ing in the mines of British Columbia.
The United States immigration laws II
is asserted, are administered with
harshness along the Canadian border
and are daily source of irritation.
Sir Wilfrld, therefore, will suggest
that the causes of irritation be removed
on both sides, and 1t Is understood that
he is prepared to offer a repeal of Ca
madam restrictions in the Klondike and
other regions IL the administration of
the American law is made more lenient.
In this connection the cooperation of
the United States is desired in the plans
of the Canadian authorities to make an
easy route to the Klondike The pro-
posed route is by boat from Fort Wran-
gle to the Stickene river, United States,
and up the Stickene via Tasland lake
to the Yukon river and thence to the
goldhelds. AS the Stickene river is on
American soil, It is desired to overcome
any possible controversy, although the
treaty of Washington is said to make
the navigation Of the river free to the
Canadians and Americans alike.
Regarding the matter of reciprocity,
the general purpose Of the negotiations
will be to give the United States the
benefit of the minimum clause Of the
present Canadian law in exchange for
the 20 per cent reduction allowed under
the Dingley law. The desire OF Sir
Wilfrid and his associates Will be TO
confine the arrangement to a few Inn
portant articles, allowing time to de-
velOp It's usefulness and extend its
scope. On the part Of Canada the arti-
cles likely to be proposed for reciproei-
ty are fish. coal, lumber and barley On
the part Of the United States the arti-
cles likely 70 figure In the negotiations
are coal. coal oil, corn, railway and
electrical supplies, machinery Of all
kinds, agricultural implements, native
woods, watches clocks, cotton and GER
tain forms Of iron and steel. The Ca
madam law permits a one-eighth reduc-
ton Of duties this year and one-fourth
reduction next year to such countries
as give advantage TO Canada. At pres
ent British goods get this reduction.

WRECK OF THE IDAHO.
Nineteen Lives Lost In Terrific Gale
on Lake Erie.

on Lake Erie.
Buffalo, Nov. Sin one of the most
terrific storms ever experienced on Lake
Erie, the steamer Idaho of the Western
Transit line foundered and sank in
eight fathoms of water off Long point,
very dangerous promontory about 65
miles west of here. OF the crew of q
but two were saved. These clung to a
spar for eight hours when they were
discovered by the lookout on the Mari
posa of the Minnesota line.
The drowned were: Alexander Gillies,
captain, of Buffalo; George Gibson. first
mate. of Buffalo; William Clancy, chief
engineer, of Buffalo; John d. Taylor,
steward, of Buffalo; Nelson Skinner,
first assistant engineer, of Auburn; -
Richards, fireman, of Ogdensburg;

ker, fireman; William Gregory, fire.
man; John Healy assistant steward;
Frederick Miffort oiler; Edward Smith,
deckhand, Rochester; M. Bell, deck
hand. The names Of two of the men
drowned are unknown to the steamship
company. One was a deckhand and the
other porter.
The names Of the two men saved are
Louis La Force. Jr.. second mate. and
William Gill, a deckhand, living in
Rochester.
The rescued men were brought to this
port by the steamer Mariposa.
The second mate. Louis La Force, told
a narrowing story to the crew OF the
Mariposa. He said that in the rush Of
the men from the hold, one OF them. a
watohman, was trampled to death. The
crew was frantic TO get out of the
place. Six or eight, he said, must have
been drowned like rats In the hold.
They were not warned Of the sinking Of
the boat. The first long dip of the stern
was the first intimation they had that
the final danger was at hand, and then
they made a grand rush TO get on deck.
The hatchway was too small to let them
through together, and the result was
that one of them was trampled to death
and several were left to drown.
Alexander Gillies, the captain Of the
III fated steamer, was one Of the most
widely known Of the lake seamen. He
was Al years old and knew the lake
waters like a book. His brother. Dom
aid Gillies, is captain Of the steamer
Harlem.
Nelson Skinner first assistant en-
gineer, lived at Auburn. He had been
an engineer on the Rome. Watertown
and Ogdensburg road and the Lehigh
Valley road but left the service last
August His fireman, whose name was
Richards. lived at Ogdensburg and was

so far from seeking a pretext to de-

Spain would regard it as a great mis-
fortune to be given the occasion for
such an unhappy resolution.
Animated as she is by the most ami

same time respecting the rights Of

campaigns, from Bryan down. In
one of his Ohio speeches, Mr.. Bryan
dwelt exultantly upon the state
ment that wheat had fallen ten
cents below the dollar mark. It
happened to be a fact, however, that
at the time of his speech wheat had
again advanced to the dollar mark,

Howard, an influential Populist
from Alabama, is quoted as saying
that it will be impossible to again
