RED SALMON MAY BE DEAR.
Alaskan Canneries Wrecked by Storm
and Pack VIII BE Light This Year.

SEATTLE, Wash. March 25.-Further
particulars of the havoc and devastation
wrought by the tidal wave which swept
over Bristol bay on October last and dashed
its fury on the Nushgak, Kogiung and Max
mex rivers. salmon canning properties, have
been received here, having been sent down
by special dog train to Chignik, thence
by mail steamer to Valdez The indications
are that the damage is much greater than
at first reported and will probably have a
serious effect on the prospectice pack of
Alaska salmon in the above districts for the
season of 1903. The advices are to the eff
feet that out of a total Of twenty-six can
neries which operated last season on Bris-
toll bay thirteen have been damaged to such
an extent that II will be impossible to make
repairs in time to put up more than one
half the pack at the very utmost, and IL
is further stated that five large and impor-
tant plants have been swept out of ex-
istence. AS the districts covered by the
rivers on Bristol bay are those from which
is derived a great portion of the red sal
mon put up in Alaska-last seasons pack
amounting to over million cases-and as
the total pack of 1902 of red salmon, while
phenomenal. was insufficient to meet the
requirements of the trade, the prices of red
Alaska salmon In the immediate future
will, in all probability. be much higher than
at present.

COPENHAGEN, March 25.-The elections
TIC the Municipal Council of Copenhagen,
which were held to-day. resulted in a de-
feat of the Socialist party, which recently
elected the mayor. This defeat is conse-
quent on the detection of the present gov
eminent party, which heretofore was fused
with the Socialists. and Is likely to result
in the Socialists nominating Independent
ticket at the elections to the FOlkething in
June II Is felt that the government party
may lose a few seats by this course, but
years ago having hesitated to appoint a
Liberal Ministry through fear of their alli-
ance with the Socialists, an alliance which
now seems to be broken.

TIE GENERAL REETLT.

Outside this city yesterdays elections brought
few surprises. Throughout the country gener-
ely normal of year conditions prevailed and
normal results were recorded. There are no
signs that the impulses which governed in 1896.
1895. 1900 and 1902 have spent themselves. or
that Republican strength has been appreciably
shaken. On the contrary, the Republican party
enters next years Presidential campaign with
no shock 10 its credit and no diminution OF its
confidence.
In Ohio where national issues had a con-
trolling influence Cd yesterdays ballotng, Re
publicanism was again completely triumphant
A Republican Governor was elected and a
legislature chosen strongly Republican in both
branches, pledged to the reelection Of Marcus
A. Hanna as United States Senator. Tom L.
johnson scored a second signal defeat his
eccentric leadership being repudiated by a large
section OF his own party.
In Maryland, where the Democrats, under
Senator Germans direction, struggled persist
entity 10 avoid national issues and made their
sppeal solely 10 race antagonisms and race
prejudices, the result was apparently less de-
cjsive. The count up 10 midnight left the result
undetermined. Rhode Island has apparently re-
elected Governor Garvin by a reduced plurality
The rest Of the State ticket and control of the
legislature go again to the Republicans.
In Kentucky a gallant fight was made by
Morris D. Belkn8p TO break the rule Of the
democratic State machine constructed by
William Goebel and operated Stree sis death by
his successor and legatee, Governor J. c. W.
Reckham. State issues were put almost eX-
cIusively to the front, and the Democratic or
panization. with the aid Of the partisan GOebel
election law, won comparatively easy victory.
With Yesterdays vote the Blue Grass State
returns apparently to the political allegiance #
seemed ready TO abandon through the stormy
wears from 1895 20 1900.
Iowa reelected Governor Cummins and the
entire Republican State ticket no impression
being made by the free trade canvass which
the Democratic managers chose 10 conduct for
lack Of any more plausible or available political
issue. Massachusetts also reelected Governor
Bates and a full Republican State ticket, the
Republican majority falling only slightly behind
last years figure. Pennsylvania similarly chose
Republican state officers by a normal party
plurality.
In Mississippi the only real political contest
Of The year occurred IN September, when the
second Democratic primary gave a nomination
for Governor 20 James X Aardaman. he had
no opposition at the polls yesterday. Nebraska
