Utica has only been passed by for the present and may be counted when further information is received from Nome late this afternoon before fur ther report is impossible.
 (Note-The question now to be an swered is whether the precincts whose returns have not been officially re- ceiyed by the canyassing board will be waited for, or whether they can be waited for. The attorney general George Grigsby, has informed the authorities that the official count must begin within ten days after thc l6th of January. It is possible that the official returns from Bristol Bay could nave been sent right along on the Alameda but evidently they were not, judging by the above cable. They cannot now reach Juneau for nearly two weeks.)

JUNEAU, Jan. 22.-Accepting the official returns as they now stand from the First and Second division, and taking into account the unofficial re- turns from the Third and Fourth di- visions Sulzer has a lead Of thirteen in the territory. Bristol Bay returns are not included in this as the returns nave not reached Juneau, but appar- cntly if all the returns were in Wick crsham has a plurality of fifteen and ,S likely the winner.
 The Canyassing Board is now at york and is working today on the returns from the Third division. It will probably not receive the official returns from Bristol Bay in time 5u; they can be included later. The Board finds SuIzcr had 2,&95 in the First division and Wickcrsham has I,90C. SuIzer gained twelve and lost eight. Wickersham gained fourteen net ana this gives Wickersham gain of ten in the division. Sulzer'S official plur- auty in the First is 4S9. In the Sec oud division, without Fortuna Ledge (darshalD, UnalakIeet and Willow creek, from which no returns have been received officially, and without Utica which was not counted because of irregularities, Sulzer has 594 and Wicl,crsham 792.
