 Captain Crockett, of the Wallowa, who got In from Juneau last night, brought the news. He says that the Al-Ki got into Juneau Sunday morning and put off all her passengers. In the evening she went on her way to Seattle,
 The ehlet engineer told him that they had but few minutes leewav In getting beached or sinking. The steamer struck the ice berg full on, which smashed her stem and bows and the water came pour ing in. The engines were run at full speed and it was fortunately high tide. The stokerS were up to their armpltS and the water was within a few inches of the fires when they were being drawn. All of the fires were drawn by the time the ship struck the beach so there was no danger from fire.

 The Al-Ki then went to Dundas bay. and discharged machinery and supplies for the cannery there, and thea went on to Juneau. Here she put off all her passen- gers, but retained what freight she had and stirted for below, just twelve hours only behind her schedule time,

 He says. further, that in his opinion all things point to a general election some where about June, and what may be the results, so far as Yukon legislation Is con cemed, he does not feel at liberty to pre> dlct.

Chicago. November S,--Chairman Jones
of the National democratic committee fur
nished the Associated Press tonight with
the following statement covering the OUT
look from his standpoint
"The fight is won. Bryan and Steven
son will be elected, The democratic ma
jority in the electoral college will be
ample. The democrats viii hold all the
States they carried in 1896. with the pos
sble exception of Wyoming. We will also
carry New York. New Jersey, Delaware.
Maryland. West Virginia, Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The chairman
Of the State committee OF California has
Just wired me that we will carry that
State by 10000 majority In a general
way / should say that there will be
somewhat Of a falling off in Bryan's
strength compared with 1896 west of tho
Mississippi, and east of the Mississippi
he will make overwhelming gains.
The campaign has been spirited from
the start The democrats were some-
what handicapped for want Of funds, while
the republicans, as tour years ago, had
more money than they could use. The
republicans have endeavorcd to intimidaie
laboring men and alarm business men. hut
not with the fierce oppres ION they br ught
to boar in 1896. 1t is my opinion that
intimidation has been a failure this year
and that both workingmen and bus ness
men will vote according 10 the dictates of
conscience. or course the trusts, the
the seekers for franchises in Porto Rico
and the Philippines. the promoters and
oXploiters generally, have spared no ef-
fort and will spare no effect to rc-elect
Mckinley. 1t is my firm belief. however,
that the electorate can not be debauched
this year to a sufficient extent to throttle
the public. The country is aroused as 1t
has not been since the days preceding the
civil war The existence of the form OF
Igoyernment established By the fathers
| is at stake. Whether the trusts shall
govern the country or the country Iegu-
late trusts must be decided.
1T will he found when the votes are
counted that the people have determined
with emphasis that the Republic must 10
preserved: that the power OF the trusts
must be curbed that the man is TO be
considered before the dollar and that tho
voice of the people can not be suppressed
by attempted intimidation or corruption.
1.-THE States that will vote for Bryan
will show that the people have confidence
in him from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from the mediterranean TO the south
ernmost boundaries of the Republic.

Louisville, Ky. November S.-one OF
the most memorable political campaigns
ever known in Kentucky came TO re-
markabe close tonight, with both repub-
licans and democrats claiming to he
stronger than ever before. The lines,
however. can not be said to be drawn be-
tween democrats and republicans, for the
Goebel assassination and the last CUB
efnatorial election are issues which over
shadow the present gubernatorial race
and the presidential contest as we'll.
Beckham, the democratic governor, has
made a most vigorous campaign and has
stumped the State from end to end. Hon
John Yerkes, conceded to be the strongest
republican in Kentucky, has done like
wise and the leaders on both sides eX-
press the sincerest confidence of success
on Tuesday. The republicans brought
their campaign to a close in Louisville
last night, when MIR. Yerkes and other
republican leaders spoke in various parts
of the city, and tonight the democrats
ended their campaign here with Governor
| Beckham as the principal speaker, at
meetings throughout the city.
On account of the Goebel assassination
| there have been so many breaks in the
ranks on both sides that little stress can
| be placed oil the claims of either and a
! landslide one way or the other would not
be fgJprsing TO many.
