Gordon Bennett race. says:

last night
Another dispatch received here says
that the ST. Louis sank in the North

prevented Mr.. Arnold and Mr.. Hewitt
who accompanied him from seeing
the water and that they were blown
out to sea without knowing where
they were going.
The Belgian balloon Utopia landed
at o'clock yesterday evening near
Cuxhaven within 500 yards of the
beach.
The German Koe1in landed at 4
o'clock this morning on the island of
Noristand and the German Pegnitz

have come down close to the sea.

NJ. Henry Arnold left Berlin on Sun
day in the International cup contest.
1t was sighted Monday morning from
Calu, moving in a .southwesterly direc-
ton 1t is the SECOND American bal
loon TO meet with an accident. The
Conqueror blew up at an altitude of
1000 feet imme ediately after the start,
and the two occupants had a mir
aculous escape from death. The Span
ish balloon Montanes, another con-
testant came to grief yesterday morn
ing over Saxony, but the pilot and his
assistant reached the ground without
sustaining injury.
The wireless message from Arnold
was sent from the lightship off He'll
goland.
The schooner that picked up the
balloonist is the pilot boat Wangeroog.
So far as is known the two men have
not yet been landed.
The America II, with Captain Nc
Coy and Mr.. Vogmann on board,
landed safely near Cuxhaven this af-
ternoon. The Princess Victoria's Ger
man balloon dropped in the harbor
of Ottermodorf at 4 o'clock this morn
ing. The two occupants swan ashore.
Wilmshaven, Oct. z13.=Folqowing

CHECK NIGHT RIDERS.
Governor Wilson of Kentucky Offers a
Reward for Arrests.

Frankfort KY, Oct. 13.-In offering
$500 reward for the apprehension and
conviction of the gang of night
riders, who attacked a negro named
Walker in his home in Hickman coun-
ty last week and shot him, his wife
and two children, Governor Wilson
has made an extreme appeal to the
people of the state to ''arise in their
might" and put down such lawless-
ness. The governor says:
This crime and the stain on Ken
lucky of the murder of four helpless
prisoners at Russellville, both by
bands of night riders, is an outgrowth
and the logical result of the liberation
of night rider crimes in the large dis
tricts of the state, only one removed
from civil war. and the very safety of
our institutions and what we have of
civilization is involved and that only
salvation for the name and honor and
character of Kentucky is for the
whole people to rise up in their
might to save their liberty, uphold
their law mercilessly, put down arson,
murder. intimidation and prescription
wherever they dare show themselves y

BRYAN AND BUSINESS,
Senator Clark Says Democratic Vic
tory Would Have Good Effect.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-Asserting that
the business interests of the country
would be benefited by the election
of w. ]. Bryan, former Senator w. A.
Clark of Montana, said last night that
he would take the stump and aid in
every way possible to bring about the
election of the Democrat candidate.
Mr.. Clark called at headquarters and
conferred with National Chairman
Mack. Mr.. Clark said:
''Mr. Bryan is making a most re-
markable campaign and L believe his
chances are far better than were
those in any of his previous contests.
He has behind him a truly united
Democracy. To me about the most
foolish thing about this campaign is
the prediction of opponents of Mr..
Bryan that the election of the Demo-
crat candidate would injure business
and bring about a panic. 1t will be
difficult for Mr.. Bryan to do more to
disturb business conditions than has
Mr.. Roosevelt. 1 have investments in
various parts of the country, and as
a business man do not hesitate to
say I would not vote for man whose
election in my opinion would injure
the business interests of this nation.
1 believe the election of Mr.. Bryan
would stimulate the business world
and place it on firm and healthy
basis"
Mr. Clark will make several
speeches in Montana and other states

BRAZIL WAKES UP.
Will Build Twelve Miles of Docks at
Rio de Janeiro.

Washington, Oct. 13.-The greatest
dock system in South America with a
frontage of IL miles will be put into
operation when the planned extension
of works of Rio de Janeiro is COM
pleted. Under the contracts the plans
provide for the building of an extern
sion of ten miles of docks to the two
miles already provided. this additional
dockage being secured by building
piers at right angles to the shore to
the north of the present docks. which
are constructed as a curved frontage
on the bay without slips or piers.
There will be three great piers at a
distance of Lib feet from each other.
Consul General Anderson reports that
the plans approved by the Brazilian
government doubtless will be carried
out, provided the money can be Sc
cured. 1t is estimated that the addi-
tions planned will add about $19,500,-
600 to the cost of the entire work.
The average annual tonnage at Rio
for the past three years has exceeded
s2,OOO,o00. The docks now being con-
structed in Rio are owned by the fed
eral government of Brazil. The gov
ernment has determined not to oper-
ate the dock itself, but to lease them
to private parties, who will manage
and control them under government
auspices and regulations for a fixed
rental

Report.

Sofia, Oct. 13-"There is no cloud on
the Bulgarian horizon" sums up the
official view in Sofia of the events that
have transpired since the proclamation
of Bulgarian independence by Prince

is over.
The troops now under arms, includ
ing the reserves recently called out,
reach a total of 10000 men. They will
be kept to the colors for another
month, pending a settlement of the
existing situations. The guards on the
frontier have been given stringent in
structions to keep we'll within the ter
ritorial limits of the new kingdom and
avoid clashing with the Turks.
The illness of Prince Boris, eldest so I
of King Ferdinand, is the reason mem
bers of the royal family were not pres
ent at the festivities IN Sofia yesterday
in connection with the kings trium-
phaI entry into his capital. Prince
Boris goes under the title in Bulgaria

publicity of campaign funds, and those
who were for and against election OF

The daily Alaskan., 1908-01-04

A high tIds took the city somewhat by surprise today. The authorities on tides say the books are not to be relied upon, but whether it was in the books or not the tide this afternoon Crept inlO the streets with an amazing rspidIcy, and reached a point where the question was fairly raised as to whether or not a new record had been made,
 The water reached point of 27 feat above low tide. which brought 1t sever al inches above the walk to the wharf on First avenue and fairly even with the wharf itself. The water invaded all the lower lands to the east and west along the hills, aud 1t was with difficult ty pedestrians could reach the Pullen hOuse-dry shod. The floor of the Cath. ollie church on Fifth avenue was touched. All lower Broadway was well under water and the floors of offices aud residences there were invaded, The Pacific Coast steaw5hip company, the Canadian Pacific and the Alaska steamship cOmpany's offices were sl wet down by from two to fix inches, as were the other stores and offices in the neighborhood. The residence of Mir. aud Mrs. Carroll of the Alaska Steam ship company in the rear of the offices suffered considerably.

HIGH TIDE INVADES SKAGWAY

The floor of the White Pass Athletic club was badly flooded and the fires in the boilers eztlnguished for a time,
 Some II ricks of wood belonging to the Alaska Transfer company and stacked up north of Third street were aoated away aud several cords lost. Busy boatmen saved the balance, which was held by the boardwalk at First av- enue,
 The tide of oftouight Is not expected to be so high and that Of tomorrow is scheduled for four inchess less than that of today. It all depends on the weatber-.that is the wind, Should the wind be blowing from the south to- morrow the aJod of today will be out done DO doubt,
 It was the wiud that gave the 27th of October, 1897, the record in the matter of tides. On that date the wind was blowing a gale and the water was piled up in the streets to a much great CT depth, insomuch that boats were run as far up Broadway as the Pack Train.  The quiet of today was a saving clause aud Mir. E, J. Shaw, who runs the weather at the wharf says that the thing to do is to pray for the same to- morrow aiternoon-or if the wind must blow, to have 1t blow from the north.
