Sail Out to Meet Him

New York, Aug. 3O-Although William J. Bryan arrived in New York harbor two days ahead of time the committees in charge of the recep- ton were ready to meet him. By special permission of President Roose- welt Mr. Bryan was taken off the Princess Irene in the roadstead yes terday afternoon and transferred to a boat of the reception committee. This was done at the special request of the Nebraska delegation and required an executive suspension of the navigation and immigration laws. The roadstead was alive with decorated craft filled with cheering crowds, who shouted, Hail to the next president"
 NIr. Bryan spent the night at the home of Lewis Nixon, the Shipbuilder and noted democratic politician, where he held conferences with personal friends aud political leaders. He re- fused to discuss politics, reserving all that he has to say on public topics for his speech at the formal reception. He said that in the speech he will go over the subjects which he has dis cussed before in his communications from abroad. He had nothing to add to the letter he wrote from Europe to Ex-Senator Jones of Arkansas, in which he said that he might accept a third presidential nomination. He declined to make any prophecy as to the probabilities for 1908.
 Mir. Bryan said he felt a lively in- terest in the coming New York cam paign but would express no opinion and take no part until nominations are made. He spent today in opening the big patches of mail which had ac- cumulated and in answering the most pressing letters.

PORTLAND SAILS SOUTH

Steamer Portland returned from the westward Saturday evening and sailed shortly after midnight for Seattle. She brought several men from the Yentna district whose reports are all favorable. On the steamer were nine horses which had been sold by the railroad company to James Fish, the mail contractor and stage proprietor on the Fairbanks trail. w. G. At wood, of the Alaska Central, who went over to Knik to dispose of the com pany's horses there, returned on the Portland. He brought in twenty-five dogs belonging to the company.
 The Portland was absent to the westward nearly four days. This was due to various delays, one of which was the time required to load the horses al SeldOvia.

MAN FATALLY INJURED
 IN RAILROAD TUNNEL
Heavy Rock Drives End of Crowbar Into George Bells Abdomen
 and Death Results.

While George Bell, a driller in tun- neI 1, on mile 49 of the railroad, was prving a rock above him with a crow bar a loosened fragment struck the bar and drove the handle end into Bells abdomen, inHicting an injury from which he died next day. The accident occurred Tuesday afternoon. Belldied in the hospital at camp 49 Wednesday and the remains were brought to Seward on the evening train. A short funeral service was held by Rev, h.. H. Pedersen and interment was made in the temporary cemetery north of town.
 When the accident occurred Bell himself did not know that he was badly hurt. He felt sick and sat down. When he attempted to rise he fell and an examination by fellow workmen showed an ugly wound in his abdomen. He was carried to the hos pital, but the internal injuries caused by the penetration of the heavy iron proved fatal.
 Bell had been working on the rail- road since June. It was understood by companions that the name he gave here was assumed He was about 40 wears of age.

FEAR LOSS OF
 CONGRESSMEN
Republican Managers Figure POS' SibIe Democratic Victory
 This Fall.
By Gable to The Daily Gateway.

New York, Aug. ? - Republican managers of the congressional cam paign admit that they are unable to predict the outcome of the November election. The loss of fifty-siX seats in the lower house would wipe out the Republican majority of no in the present house and there are more than that many close districts.
 The probable loss of forty districts by the republicans is conceded, while nineteen other districts are admitted to be doubtful, and possibly more' Six states which are now republican are conceded to offer an equal chance to the democrats. Both parties will wage a vigorous campaign during the last two months preceding election.

 On the money question Bryan said that bimetalliStS are satisfied with present conditions. The unlocked for increase in the production of gold had given a large increase in the volume of money, which was all bimetalliSts wanted when they stood for free silver
 Attacks the Trusts
 Mir. Bryan asserted that recent trust investigations have revealed what the people should have known many years ago about these great aggregattons Of capital. He said the Republicans ap- pear unwilling to pass laws against corporate contributions to campaign funds. He said the democrats must support all legislation forbidding cor pOrate subscriptions to political cam paign funds. and should keep open books, showing the source of all con tributions. He affirmed that trusts are now legalized larcenists. He con- graduated President Roosevelt upon the steps the president had taken to curb them but said he had not gone far enough. Democracy must prevent monopoly and present laws for that purpose do not go far enough. He said that trust cares nothing for a S5OOO fine when it is making SlOO,OOO during the trial to enforce the fine.
 New legislation is wanted, said Bryan, to govern the licensing of cor, porations in every state, and a corpor' ate license should be revoked for a violation of law. He also favored legislation to prevent the use of the mails by corporations engaged in pro noting a monopoly.

Opposes High Tariff

Mir. Bryan argued that the protec- tive tariff is closely allied to the trusts and said a reduction of the present tariff would afford an easy means of preventing trust extortion. If the president were authorized to place upon the free list articles of trust manufacture that power would furnish a remedy.
 Railroads are also allied to the trusts, said the speaker. They should be treated by similarly effective legis- lation and punished for granting re- bates. The railroads, he said, are already so great a monopoly that they must be taken over by the government and managed for the benefit of the whole people.
 Mr. Bryan said that the democratic party stands against monopoly. On another occasion he would call atten- tion to the growing extravaganza of congress under republican control.

Nome Man Says No Different Out come Could Have Been Expected
 After Juneau Convention.

Richard s. Ryan of Nome, who was one of the delegates to congress sent to Washington by the Alaska conven- tion in Seattle last fall, was in Seward last week and talked with some em- phasis about the republican territorial convention in Juneau which nominated Murane for congress. Mr. Ryan was thrown out of the convention with a bundle of Nome proxies, he claims without a hearing, and he is not bash full about criticising the managers of the assemblage. He said:
 "The outcome of the election was to be expected from the result and man. ner in which the republican conven- tion was managed by the Juneau con- tingent. When men descended to such methods as were employed to con- trol tn @ convention both in temporary and permanent organization, they cannot expect success. The Shoup convention, as it is known, will remain a stench in the noStrils of the renuhlican narty in Alaska.

In the storm which visited the coast of Boring Sea on July 6, : and s, the breakwater which had been erected by the Nome Improvement Company last summer was completely washed away. The breakwater was part of the piers and wharf which was under construc- tion. It was situated at the mouth of Snake river, and the water worked its way under and around the structure and nothing now remains of it but a few piles. The piers and wharf when completed would have cost $2,5OO,OOO and $3O,OOO was spent on the work last summer. The storm was the worst at Nome since 1902. Three boats were swept ashore; but the crews were saved by the lifeboat men.

Objects to Outsiders


 "It behooves the territorial commit tee to assert and exert itself and see that the organization is not again to be contaminated by allowing degen- crate populistS, disgruntled democrats and fake boomers to runit. Allis fair in love and war, it is true in politics as we'll as otherwise, but false statements, forged proxies and trading the capital, which were features of the Juneau meeting, will not be tolerated in the great party of which Theodore Roose- welt is the leader.
 "I hope to see the party arise from this defeat stronger than ever and re- sume it's leadership in this great terri tory for the good it has always done and will continue to do under our matchless president, a party which is constructive and not afraid to es- tablish precedents in our territory when needed for it's immediate and future development and welfare. Alaska cannot thrive under a stand still and trust in the future policy. It wants appreciation from Washington of its greatness, its resources and its wants whether they be in transporta- tion facilities, telegraph lines or fed eral buildings or all that that aid should come to-.

One of the most refined and elevating
and delightful entertainments ever given
in Wilson was the one given last evening
in the charming home of the very at
tractiye and highly cultured Mrs r. A.
Chatham, the lovely wife of the polished
and eloquent Episcopal minister. The
entertainment was given in honor of Miss
Carrie Lands, of Henderson, who is as
pure as the soul of an angels prayer, as
bright as the glimmer of sun-kissed
iclcle, and as sweet as the perfume of dew
bathed flowers. Mrs. Cheatham presided
with the grace of queen and dispensed
a most gracious hospitality, while all
present saw in the Respondent visitor
womanhood in all of its royalty and
paid willing homage to its seductive
witchery.
