EIGHT BOUND OVER
 FOR PATR0LLlNG TRAIL

Eight men were bound over to the grand jury In Fairbanks on tho charge of riot for holding up strike breakers on the trail, by Commissioner Erwin. Robert Neil was held In bond of s2,000 and the others S1,0Oo each. Their names arc Harry Meehan, Thomas Martin, William Stevens, Otto Aldberg, Edward O'Brien, John Mikkleson and William Richard.
 Two witnesses testified that they wore made to run the gauntlet be. tween two lines of men armed with guns and clubs and that they were struck as they weut by. This was after they had been kept prisoners, under an armed guard and was part of the ceremony of turning them loose presumably that they might be properly impressed with the danger of proceeding to Fairbanks. They were headed towards Valdez. One man reached within 20 miles of Fair banks and was taken back as far as the 50-milc post, and had mushed to tho 70.mile post, whom he was over taken by deputy msrshal and brought to Fairbanks.

Working on Cable Near Narrows and May Make
 Connection Any Time.
BREAK LOCATED AT ELLAMAR
Line Has Stacked but Can Be Repaired in a Few Hours
 of Active Work.

The cableship Burnside came into the harbor yesterday and is working In the bay out toward the narrows and may make connection at any ume. She went out yesterday after noon. putting buoy near the cable about six miles from town and then pro- ceeded outside, presumably to Ella mar. where tho break was supposed to be. She came back shortly before noon today and has since been stand where she placed the buoy.
 The cable office In town knows no more of the break than yesterday but assumes that the Burnside picked up the end outside and Is now working to connect. This was the status at 2p. m.
 The cableship can no nothing while "woolly" Is bobbing her on jerky waves and yanking her around as if she had St. Vitus dance. Very still water Is required for cable laying and repairing.
 Tests from Valdez and Sitka show that the break Is close to Ellamar and that the cable has slacked about ten miles, leaving a gap of that length.
 The Burnside's late arrival is due to the fact that she came on the inside passage because she is not in good form. She was about to go op the dry dock when the Alaska cable broke and she had to come north and 90 to work instead of taking turn In the hospital, which she ie said to need badly.

 tric Plant of Town.
BODY FOUND BY TUNNELING

snow slide in Lowell canyon a mile above Seward buried the intake of the stream which runs the electric light plant, and John Rector, the watchman, in his cabin. The canyon for several hundred feet was filled with snow to depth of l25 feet and a tunnel bad to be run in to find the body. The cabin was crushed under the weight of snow like an egg sheli, and Rector's lOay was found lying. between it and the floor beside the remnants of the table where he had been eating supper when the slide came.
 It required three days work to tun. nel to the cabin, with danger at all times from other slides, which kept coming down. The cabin stood on a narrow bench beside the creek W tn a precipitous mountain wall behind 1t. The canyon is narrow and q letter from Seward says it will require sev. eral summers of sunshine to wipe out the huge mass of snow. Part of the cabin was carried 150 feet.
 The tunnel was continued to the intake, only few steps farther, and water will soon be running to the power house in town, again supplying vhe town with electric light.
 Rector was miner known as" Dead. wood Dick,n He had worked in the Black Hills and other mining districts of the northern states.

William b. Taft was yesterday Off
cially notified of his nomination for the
presidency. Senator Warner of Miss
ouri delivered q brief notification speech,
after which there was an outburst of
cheering as Judge Taft stepped forward
After formally accepting the nomin-
alton, he discussed the issues of the
campaign, the first portion of his re-
marks being that republican strength
lies in the maintenance of the ''Roose-
welt principles" The" notification took
place In front of his brothers home
Cincinnati was in holiday attire and the
city was full of politicians of high and
low degree.
There were only few people at
Leonard Hall last night to hear Rev
Henry B. Hudson talk on the gambling
question. Rev. Percival S. Smithe
called the meeting to order and intro
duced Mr.. Hudson who delivered a
very interesting address. He gave an
outline of the work of the Reform
Bureau in other states and said the
bureau had invaded Nevada at the
request of many of it's citizens. The
bureau was here to fight and would
remain here until gambling was driven
out of the state. At the conclusion of
his remarks, the following committee
was named on temporary organization:
Rev. Percival S. Smithe, Rev. George

Forcing Publicity

The Milwaukee Daily News thinks
that the action of Mr.. Bryan and the
democratic committee in declaring for
publicity, before election, of the cam
paign contributions will inevitably force
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sheldon to back down
from their present position of simple
compliance with the New York law,
which only requires publicity after cleo
ton. 1t continues:
Public sentiment has been greatly
scanadalized by the revelations of fraud
and corruption in which the republican
campaign fund has been involved.
-Four years ago the American people
were assured by Theodore Roosevelt
that there was nothing discreditable in
the financial affairs of the republican
committee. The life insurance revela-
tions and the Hartman letter showed
that he was in error. and had been mis-
led by Cortelyou. This year, we suspect
when the democratic committee makes
public it's contributions no subterfuge
will enable the republican party to
escape the peoples displeasure if there
shall not follow full and complete
publicity with no faint of corruption to
the contributions disclosed.

What Does It Mean?

The Ogden State Journal of the 27th
has the following dispatch:
New York, July 27.-Wall streets
o. K. is on W. H. Tafts speech of
acceptance, although the candidate
will not deliver it until the notification
ceremonies in Cincinnati tomorrow. 1t
learned today that the "Street" had
advanced copies of the speech last Fri
day. The following comment was sent
to 500 brokers by private news services
Careful. consideration of Taft's views
find them unobjectionable to conserva-
tives and sincere radicals alike"
Does this dispatch mean that Mr..
Taft has convinced Wall street that he
will do nothing as president of the
United States that will interfere with
any of it's schemes to rob and swindle
the remainder of the American people?
IF it does not mean this, what does it
