ABANDON SHIP
Take To Small Boats and Start for
Aggutti Island To Await Res
cue By the Cordova
The crew of the wrecked cutler
Talioma have abandoned their ves
sel and are making for Aggutti Is
land, is the report received by the
steamer Alameda last night. The
boat was in a dangerous position off
Kiska reef 60 miles from Aggutti is
land and it was thought best to make
for land at once.
The S. S. Cordova was expected to
reach the scene this morning but so
far has sent no word of arrival and
rescue of the officers and crew of the
cutter, besides the officers and crew
of the vessel wrecked on Semichi
island, who had been picked up by
the cutter the day previous to the
■wrecking of the government boat.
The Senator, which had first an
swered the call for help, turned
about and made for Nome when the
Cordova, southbound, had reported
her position nearer the wreck and
she immediately started for the
scene.
The big hydroelectric plant in Sol
omon. basin, operated by the A. W.,
iL. & T. Co. was shut down this
morning for a couple of hours be
cause of a hot box, the shaft hav
ing become heated. It was at first
thought that big, fat Fred Butter
worth had fallen into the lake and
caused it to overflow and then when
he pulled himself out had left the
lake dry, but it was later learned
that the hot box had caused all the
trouble.
NO SHOW FOR
GERMAN SNIPS
British Will Not Allow Transfer To
American Flag of Big Liners and
Will Seize Them On Seas.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25—The Brit
ish ambasador today notified the
State department that any German
ships bought by Americans and fly
ing the American flag would be seiz
ed by them and the owners would be
forced to prove the ownership prior
to the present war. The notice was
emphatic and leaves no hope for the
administration’s plan to push through
its purchase of the big German ves
sels now' in American waters and
use them for the American merchant
marine.
It is understood, however, that in
the case of German ships owned by
Americans prior to the war, but fly
ing the German flag, that the trans
fer will be recognized as valid, but
tne owners must prove beyond any
doubt the ownership is genuine. This
applies to the boats owned by the
Standard Oil Company and also the
Steel Trust, which operated under the
German flag because of adverse
American laws.

As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close
of the mining and business season at this placer camp, to

this announcement through the medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator to the Territorial
legislature, from the Third Division, at the
Election on Tuesday, November the Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor
does the office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want
your support and vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have
made no pledges or promises to any individual, party or
concern, and if elected will go to Juneau, absolutely unham
pered with ties of any kind; to do that which will advance
the interests of the whole people of Alaska:—not to go there
and vote “aye and nay” during the session, but to work
with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a con
siderable experience, especially in this Division, and con
tinue such work, throughout the year and the entire term
of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely
cast your ballot for any of the other candidates for this
office, THEN VOTE FOR ME. Yours very truly,

densely populated parts of the city.
The war and navy departments have
ordered a number of aviators to re
main over the city day and night to
watch for the approach of the Ger
man ships with orders to destroy
them at any cost.
Indian Rulers Join Allies.
Many rulers of India have enlist
ed in the British army and have
been given commands. A large part
of the Indian troops are now in
France with the British and have
given a wonderful account of them
selves. The Algerian troops of
France have proven their efficiency
and they neither ask nor give quar
ter after the German announcement
of death for the Africans.
German General Orders Frenchmen
Killed.
BORDEAUX, ' Sept. 25—General
Stenger of the Germany army has
issued orders to his men to take no
French prisoners and to kill when
Ever possible. French troops oppos
ing his command nave been advised
Of the threat and will retaliate, tak
ing life for life.
Terrible Battle Continues.
PARIS, Sept. 25.—The terrific bat
tle in northern France continues with
no decided gain for one side or the
other. The slaughter of men yester
day was appalling. Men have died
by thousands in the hand to hand
fights and assaults upon entrenched
positions. The losses are believed to
be about equal.
Artillery Duel Night and Day.
The gunners of both armies are
working day and night without in
terruption. The artillery duel contin
ued all of today. The allies are hold
ing their own on the east, where
General Albrecht, Grand Duke of j
Wurtemberg, with the forces com
manded by General Ruppricht, crown
prince of Bavaria, and General von
Herringen, are making a terrific as
sault to aid the German hard pressed
right.
Light Gain for French Left
The French lert with the British
troops continue to gain slightly over
the German right under von Kluck in
spite of the strong reinforcements j
he has received and his Junction with ,
the German center.
. Germans Still Bombarding Meuse 1
Forts.
The Germans still continue to bom
bard the French forts along the
Meuse and Verdun holds them in
spite of the concentration at that
place of the German and Austrian
giant siege guns weighing forty tons.
The forts reply to the Germans and
while they have suffered much, still
bar the German advance.
Servians Gain In Bosnia.
, NISH, Sept. 25.—The Servia gains
in Bosnia still continue. More towns
have been captured many of the
Slave enlisting with the Servians,
but as only the old men and boys
were left by the Austrian mobilization
and therefore the enlistments do not
aid much. The people, however, wel
come the Servians as deliverers.

British Warships In Baltic.
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 25.—Thirty
warships, nationality unknown, has
been seen passing through the heav
ily mined straits at the entrancee to
the Baltic Sea and are now in the
Baltic. It is reported here that the
warships used wire nets drawn by
boats of light draft to pick up any
mines in the way, but this has not
been verified.
Destination of Fleet Speculative.
Much speculation is rife here as to
the destination of the fleet, which is
believed to be British and it is ex
pected that a naval engagement in
the Baltic will take place within a
few hours. The German warships
are far up the Baltic, according to
reports received here and the Rus
sian and British ships will soon en
gage them. Towns in Germany along
the Baltic may be bombarded.
British Fleet Divided
Naval men here believe that the
British government is making a
mistake in dividing its forces, allow
ing the Germans to fight on equal
terms. With the Kiel canal the Ger
mans can use the North Sea fleet
and the Baltic fleet in either sea
and have their forces concentrated.
