SAW A PLOT TO MURDER.
Americans on Steamer Fear Russians
and Run Boat to Shore.

Seattle. Wash, Sept 1.-THE steamer
Samoa left Nome for the Siberian coast
early in August with men and material
for the operation OF q concession in
Russian territory secured by London
capitalists. The expedition was in
charge Of George D. Roberts, and he had
associated with him a Russian civil en-
gineer named Dadounedyitch. The force
included thirty Russians, who had been
engaged as laborers. and six Ameri-
cans
Shortly after the vessel put to sea the
thirty 1aborers began to act In a man
ner that aroused the suspicion of the
Americans and the uneasiness was aug
mented by the alleged discovery that
the Russians, with the exception of the
civil engineer. were all Cossack soldiers
Roberts put a watch on them, and on
learning what he believed to be plot
to seize the vessel and maroon or muir
der the Americans, he decided upon a
plan Of action One night when the
Russians were asleep the boat was
turned about and headed for Nome.
Upon the arrival of the vessel Roberts
informed the local military forces of
the affair, and a squad Of soldiers was
at once sent out to the boat and placed
in charge of the Russians. The affair
will be thoroughly sifted.

THE ELECTION
In Lafayette Parish-Desplte tho
Efforts OF LOS0l Republican,
The Majority Is Largely
Democrats.

The result of the election in La
fayette parish was Disappointing to
the Republicans who had exerted
all their energies during the cam
Paign in the hope of reducing the
Democratic majority, but as will be
seen by the returns the Democrats
of the parish were not led astray by
either Republican sophistry or
Republican promises The vote
was very small. The apathy was
due no doubt to the fact that the
Democrats felt confident of winning.
1t is safe to say, however, that the
Republicans Polled their whole
strength. The local leaders of that
party worked hard and got their
men out to vote, but they failed to
make many converts. The election
throughout the State was most dis
couraging to the Republicans who
had made ridiculous predictions.
In the first and second districts the
Republicans were as badly beaten
as they were in the third. During
the campaign the Lily Whites had
much to say about what they wele
going to do now that they are rec
ognized by the National party, but
when the election day came they
utterly failed to sustain their boasts.
The result in Louisiana shows
that the voters are not yet ready to
embrace Republicanism as their
political faith, even though it as
sumes to be white and pure as the
lily.
The returns in this parish are as
follows:

EUROPE REJOICING.

IL may De interesting 10 our
readers to read the comments OF
the monarchial press of Europe on
,he reelection Of President Nc
Kioley. These utterances of the
European papers show how gladly
the monarchles Of the old world
have received the news of the tri-
umph of imperialism IN the new
world. The following are some Of
the editorial comments of the anti.
Republican press of Europe:
The Standard (England) says: cit would
be too speculative to say that Organism is
dead factor in American politics, but it
has received a staggering blow, and the
ghost of the silver heresy is laid to rest.
The cleo ton is a victory for imperialism, but
if Mr.. Mckinley is to keep a united people
manlke caution, such as he has already ex-
hibited. Englishmen have every reason to
be satisfied with the sesu1t.''
The Globe (England) says: ''Henceforth
the United States will take it's place a
world power. TO the whole world the re-
suit of the election is of supreme import
ance, and fraught 9th momentous conse-
quences to all nations. In this country it
will be hailed with unaltered satisfaction.
We gladly welcome the entry of the young
giant of the West into the councils of the
world.''
The Daily News, (Engiand) says: "The
swing of the pendulum has ceased in the
United States, as it has here. The Repub-
licans are as unshakable there as the con-
servatives are in the United Kingdom. The
election marks the end of Bryansm and an
approval of the policy of expansion.''
The Pail Mall Gazette (England) says:
t'rhe result is most welcome from every
point of view. In Mckinley and Roosevelt
Great Britain has just the sort of friends we
want. Not ELUSIVE ranters, who sicken
everybody by their excessive pretense of
cousinly unity, but quite benevolent neutrals.
AS business Nation, the final defeat of
unsound money is most acceptable to
As believers in pure and honest admlnis-
tration, we rejoice at the defeat of Tam
many. As a member of the community of
Nations and feeling peculiarly akin of the
United States, Great Britain is glad to ac-
claim the defeat of man whose tenure of
Office would have meant anarchial tenden-
cies of all kinds.''
The Tagelche Rundschan Germany says: !
for America an era of world
power politics of the most intense descrip-
ton begins. and judging from the samples
thereof already seen this will not be factor .
for promoting the worlds peace. The |
United States will now show its true face in |
the Chinese question. We can not say that
Dur confidence in Mr.. Mckinley's good will
toward Germany is very strong.'' !
The kreuz Zeitung Germany says: ''The !
policy of imperialism has received a new i'm
pulse through MIR. McKinley's election:
namely, the sanction of the American PEG |
pie. We assume that the government which
seeks to place America in the forefront OF ,
nations and plant the Stars and Stripes on
the shores OF all the seas will gain fresh I
strength.'' !

During~ the campaign preceding
the election in which for a second
time he went down to defeat. the
presidential candidate of the Dem
ocracy lost nothing Of that affec-
ton and esteem in which he is held
by millions of his countrymen.
: His fight in 1900 was more re
markable in many respects than his
memorable struggle of 1896. Still
without money, as four years be-
fore; backed by no powerful social
or commercial influences, with the
organized wealth, the power of high
station and the disciplined armv of
a gigantic government machine ar
rayed solidly against him; appeal
ing only TO the conscience and pa
triotism 1T the plain people, he not
only commanded the respectful
hearing and the enthus site ac
claim OF vast con. curses of citizens
from one end of the country to the
other, but. as indications now
point, has largely increased his pop
ular vote over that of 1896, if in
deed he has not secured endorse
ment of majority of the voters of
the Nation!
man who can accomplish even
that much against such tremendous
odds and as comparatively new
factor in National politics, unqnes-
tionably must possess the elements
of greatness to a marked degree.
1t is not disgrace to be beaten in
a good cause. 1t is no humiliation
to go down battling for the honest
convictions of patriotism and the
rights Of the masses. AS the tr:-
bune of the people Mr.. Bryan is
greater in defeat than the success
full champion of greed and aggres-
sion, of force and favoritism, who
is now receiving the congratulations
of his patrons and his 6enefciaries.
1t is. too early to say what Mr..
Bryar's future may be. 1t is idle
to speculate upon his political pros
poets. But of one thing he can be
assured-he has won an enviable
and an enduring place in the re-
spect, the confidence and the hearts
of his counlrymen. He is one Of
the conspicuous ornaments of the
and the citizenship Of the
Nation.
