with a handsome gold watch and

lief Association of the p, B. & W.

opposition to the passage of the
bill introduced in the legislature to

tigated before granting such powers
to any such corporation.

It was a shrewd move on the part of the premier to have the Canadian cleo tion iu advance of that in the states. That was done to prevent panic with the voters On the other side of the line in the event of au unexpected land slide on this side. The business of this country and Canada is so closely identified that which affects one country is likely to have an inHueucs over the other. Good politics dictated that no chances should be taFen. IJ was known that an early election meant a sure thing for the liberal administration, and an early election was ordered

The klOudike and other upper Yukon tributaries pro- duced during that same time about Sll,- 100000 The prodgctiOn on both sides of the line for 1904 will be about the same as that for 1903. In 1905 Alaska should exceed the Canadian territory in production.

ROOSEVELT TO WIN

The indications are more than ever that President Roosevelt will be vic torious at the polls one week from next Tuesday. The New York Herald, an independent paper, but one that has supported Judge Parker whom it still insists would makemuch the better chief exccuti ye, admits that the election Of MT. Roosevelt is almost foregone con clusiou The Herald says the people do not necessarily like the president and that he is not generally regarded as A suitable man to be chief executive, vet there are two things which will cause them to vote for him, The one is the desire to do nothing that will dis turb the commercial tranquility of the country. and the other a feeling of un- certainty as to the organization Of the democratic party. There is a general belief among the closest observers Of the times and the best students ot the politics of the day that Mir. Roosevelt is prone 10 depart from those ideals that have been regarded as American that he is more Caesar than Lincoln and that his conceptions of the eXecu- tive office are not the traditional con ceptions that have come down from the days of the fathers, yet there IS will inguess todcpend upon the conservative and thoroughly organized republican party to hold the president in line rath- CT than to risk a government by the democratic party, which is believed to be too much torn and rent by recent dissentious to be able to give an eilec- tive administration. The declaration by Mir. Bryan that he will begin a fight as soon as the election shall have talk n place to recap,ure the democratic or ganizatiou, together with the great force of character and personal popu- laritv that has been demonstrated to be his. have had the effect of creating a feeling that the reorganization ot the party of Jefferson is not sufficiently secure to insure its stability.
 Then the republican party is much better organized tban is the demo- cratic. The republican organization is a we'll disciplined army. The party edicts are not questioned by those in the ranks. The masses follow their leaders with an unanimity that brings results. The democratic party is diff fereut. Such organization as it has has been worked out since the begin ming of the campaign. The party for matiops have been made up while the forces were under fire from the vel trained enemy which fired from the en- trenchmentS that have been in prOceS; of construction for l0yearS, There Is a disposition on the part of the masSe: to question both the leaders judgment and their authority at every step The party has been given to bushwhackin2 so long that every man is leader whc demands consideration for himself anC his ideas
 Really it is rot strange that the odds in the betting are getting larger and larger for Roosevelt, notwithstanding that on the issues of the campaign and personality of the candidates the dem ocrats have captured fully or more than their share of the best independent thought of the land.

FAIRBANKsS SPEAKING TOUR
First Talk VIII he at whitewater. W..
Next Monday.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 26.-Senator
Fairbanks left here over the Pennsylvania
for the East this afternoon. to make his
first speech in the campaign. He goes
from here directly to Whitewater, Vt,
where he viii speak on Monday next. The
town is in the county in which the Senator'S
father was born and near the New Hamp-
shire line, and the chairmen of the COM
mittees in the two States advised him that
there would he great crowd in attendance.
The Senator probably will not return to
Indianapolis until about Sept. is. After
speaking at Whitewater he will go directly
to Marion, Kan, where he will speak on
Sept. /. He will next speak at Kansas
City. From Kansas City he will go to
Bath, Me. He will speak in Maine. Con-
necticut, New Jersey and probably Della
ware before returning to Indiana.
1t is understood here that the Senator'S 8
letter Of acceptance will not be given to
the public till after his return from the
present tour. although it has been COM
pleted for nearly two weeks and is only
waiting the publication of the letter of
President Roosevelt. Friends OF the Sena-
tor say the Presidents letter will appear
some time between Sept. l and Sept. 10
and that Senator Fairbanks will then wait
several days before giving out his.
There is a belief here that something
has occurred to delay the giving out of
the Presidents letter, as Senator Fairbanks
was given to understand at the Sycamore
Hill conference that it would be published
prior to Sept. 1.

LIFE GUARD DRAWN TO DEATH.
Drowned Through Efforts Of Crowd to
Assist Him IN Rescuins Bather.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 2G--Life
Guard Alfred A. Davis, veteran OF the
force, was rushing out into the breakers
near the steel pier to assist foolhardy
bather to-day, when he was dragged to
death by an excited and overzealous crowd
that had hold OF the land end OF the life
line.
Guards Davis and Conover were standing
together discussing the topics OF the day.
A feeble cry, follow ed by calls for help from
bystanders, told them that some one was
In danger. Conover picked up the copper
buoy and dashed for the water. Close at
his heels was Davis, pulling the line as he
ran. Conover wl,isked the buoy through
the air to the drowning bather, 1t fell by
his side, and no grabbed it.
People on the beach made n rush for
the spot, and the first to arrive took hold
Of the line and began to pull. Conover.
in the mean time. had a firm grasp on the
bather and was swimming ashoP, when
he saw that Davis had got tangled up in
the line
Conover yelled imploringly to the crowd
to let go of the line, but his commands,
apparently, We're not heard or not needed.
Other life guards, at least ten OF them.
fastened with lifeboats to the aid Of their
fellow guards. Davis was dragged be-
meath the surface repeatedly.

Burned and Stunned Making Connection
Trolley Current. Expert says.
Rene De There, telephone operator at
the Hotel Hargrsve, Columbus avenue
and Seventy-second street, was sitting at
his phone desk about o'clock yesterday
afternoon with his hands on the metal
work when he gave a cry OF pain and
tumbled backward unconscious.
When Clerk Brown Of the hotel and other
employees ran to him they saw that his
arms were burned and swollen and that his
face was purple. They revived him in
the hotel before sending him in an ambu-
lance to Ro osevelt Hospital.
De There said that while he was making
a connection he suddenly received terrific
shock that felt as II red hot irons were
being run into his body. After that he re-
membered nothing. DR.. Paddock at Roose
welt Hospital found that the young man
was pretty badly burned, but he was sent
home after being treated.
The hotel electrician made an investi-
CATION OF the telephone switchboard and
the conduits, but was unable TO account
for the accident. His theory is that the
telephone wires. which run underground
to the hotel may have become crossed
with the Columbus avenue trolley wires,
also underground There was no other
possible way, he said, to account for It,
because the telephone wires and board
were In perfect order.

made to Oyster Bay in more than year,
or since the army glove contract scandal
was fastened to his name. Up to last sum-
mer he visited at the Presidents home
frequently. He did not come last summer,

to do so while charges made against him
were being investigated by Government
authorities.

President. He said that he had no special
mission with the President Bey ond say
ing this, he declined to talk He will leave
