To speculate upon the present

have done this less with n view to
his election than TO whipping
Roosevelt into line by soaring him
with Wall street crowd that he
will walk their chalk line, they
will naturally enough prefer Re
publican to Democratic success;
though they are not likely TO get
excited over an election in which
they stand to win" no matter
which candidate is returned. In
these circumstances they will pro-
badly make comparatively small
financial contributions to each
party, and await the safe and

business Investment. the amount
TO be about equally divided, but
they are not likely TO go much
deeper into their pockets than
that. Having "a sure thing" they
are unlikely to see any reason for
spending money except to keep
the politicians in good humor.
Yet they may count without their
host when they presume upon
RooseveIts good humor over a
divided campaign fund and feeble

silent man that Judge Parker is.
On the contrary he is just the

Laura Madsen, Re-

HereFromAIaska

The first whaler to arrive direct from
the Arctic and Bering Sea is the
bark Gayhead, Captain c. w. Fisher.
which came into harbor last evening.
she sailed from this port on March
=, and reports a catch of five right
Whales and one sperm From the first
she has 200 barrels Of oil and from the
sperm 80 barrels. Captain Fisher re-
ports that ali OF the whalers are out
q the Ice and viii return TO San Fran
cisco at the close of this season. He
spoke the Alice Knowles and the Mon
terey on September 25. The former
vessel had three right whales and the
latter had about 1I00 barrels of oil
He also announces that the jeanette
had taken nine whales and the Bow
head five.
a The Gayhead evidently struck a
school Of fighters. as she had five boats
stove IN, two Of them SO badly dam
aged as 10 be put out of commission
for. the remainder Of the voyage These
were smashed into splinters by the
whales that objected 10 the blubber pot
and number Of the boats crews were
hurt, though not seriously. Fortunate
ly other boats were close by and the
swimming men were pulled out Of the
icy water alive.
The Eayhead encountered a fierce
gale in the Arctic, which put her under
close-reefe0 canvas for a week. The
storm was very inconvenient at that
time, for she had a big dead right
whale alongside, and the unwieldy car
cass humping ana pounding against
the bark stove a hole in the hull. No
blubber could be cut from the body.
but Captain Fisher grimly held on to
his prey that even IN death was try
ing TO sink him. For four days and
nights the skipper gave himself extra
watches on deck, where he put in the
time shaking first one fist at the living
gale that was trying TO tear the masts
out overhead and the other fist at the
dead whale that was knocking holes
IN his ships side below. The vessels
log does not state what class Of Ian
guage the skipper used during this
period, but il is said that the carpen-
ter's remarks had a sulphurous aroma
as he stuffed canvas in the cracks
from the inside of the hull
Finally the captain was obliged to
turn his prize loose, and, with the ex
cepriOn of some bone taken from the
head, the catch was lost.
AntOne MeridO, one of the crew,
died of consumption and was buried in
the Arctic. Many of the crew were
green hands, and the usual troubles
between the men and officers occurred.

CHINESE PLOT FALLS
BECAUSE OF EXPOSURE
Thirty-Two Pretended Performers for
st. Louis Exposition Will Prob
ably Be Denied a landing

Chief Charles Mehan of the Chinese
Bureau is not convinced that the thir-
ty-two Chinese men who arrived re-
Gently on the Doric, ostensibly on the
way to the st. Louis Exposition, are
acting in good faith They had no
papers to show that they were en-
gagged by any particular concession.
Chief Mehan addressed an inquiry to
the Bureau officers on duty at the
Chinese Village regarding these men,
but it appears that no one of the many
concessions was willing to claim them
1t is believed that they came hither
with the intention of remaining in
the country after the close of the ex-
position, but that the arrest of Lee
Toy and Da Silva and the exposure
Of the conspiracy to land Chinese H.
legally broke the connections and left
the thirty-two stranded.
