EMPRESS OF
CHINA DIES
Puyii Is Placed on the Throne,
but Prince Chun Rules as Re
gent in His Stead.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Pekin, Nov. 16—'The empress dowa
ger of China died yesterday afternoon,
following close upon the death of
Emperor Kuan llgsu, which occurred ■
the 13th inst. Puyii has been placed]
upon the throne, but Prince Chun is
regent in his stead. The emperor of
China claims no hereditary divine!
right, and is not always the eldest son
of the preceding monach. The ablest
son is nominated, but his right to the
throne as the “divinely appointed” can
only be established by good govern
ment, in accordance with the princi
ples laid down in the national sacred
books.
James Wylie, John Riramer and
Chas. L. Denting arrived last night
from Susitna Station, having left there
the 3d inst. They came over the new
trail from Indian creek to Girdwood,
and hit the line of the Alaska Central
at mile seventy-five.

By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Okmulgee, Okla., Nov. 1(1—Five per
sons, including the sheriff, were killed
in a race riot among the negroes, In
dians and whites. Trouble had been
brewing for sometime, which culmi
nated last night when an armed mob
took a negro boy, who was charged
with murder, and burned him at the
stake. A posse of men headed by the
sheriff tried to control the mob, and
in the general melee which followed,
the sheriff and four others were shot
to death, and ten more seriously injur
ed. The militia were called out and
order restored. The streets are pa
trolled by solders and the citizens
are under armed guard.
FOR FIGHTING FIRE
!
Government Cable Station to be
Equipped With Automatic
Extinguishers.
The United States government is
equipping the local cable station with
a complete lire protection outfit.
Water buckets, 200 feet of hose, one
chemical fire-extinguisher and axes
are already in the station. The Penn
sylvania will bring more chemical fire
extinguishers which are to be placed
in the upper story on the sides of the
stovepipe with a cord attached which
will pass through the tloor to the low
er room. In case of fire the cord can
be puiled from below and the extin
guishers will then automatically dis
charge the chemicals. The cord may
also be fitted with a weight and attach
ed with wax which in case of fire,
would melt and allow the weight to
drop, thus opening the extinguishers
and turning loose the chemicals onto
the fire.
The Seward Literary and Musical
society will meet at the Methodist
Episcopal Church parlors Tuesday
evening. An entertaining program
has been prepared.
Fire Chief Hofman would like to
have the one who broke the water (
faucet in the tire hall replace it as soon
as possible.

from the gaze of the guards he slipped
the revolver from his shoe and shot
himself, dying almost instantly.
DR. DAVID RETURNS

Supplies and Push on Over
the Trail.

mile 49 on the Alaska Central. He
left Seward the 5th inst. in company
with W. S. Ferguson and Jack Wil
son, intending to go through to Cache
creek, but his foot, which was last
winter frostbitten, was giving him
some trouble and he thought best to
return. The other men came back to
mile 34 for more supplies and then
pushed on over the trail.
Dr. David said the snow at mile 49
was five feet deep, but half of it has
been melted olT by the recent rains.
The grade between miles 41 and 45 is
slightly out in several places, Two
bents are gone from Snow river bridge.
Snow slides have come down in places
such as appear in the spring of the
year, One very heavy slide came
down opposite mile 17, but stopped be
fore it struck the track.
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Boggs enter
tained a small company of people at
their home last evening. There were
about eight couple present. The even

Rapidly Improves.

San Francisco, Nov. 16—The condi
tion of Prosecuting Attorney Francis
J. Heney, who was shot last Friday
afternoon by Morris Hass, is greatly

was made to remove the bullet till this

ed at 11 o’clock this morning and was
entirely successful. After the remov
al of the bullet the condition of the
patient was greatly improved. His
complete recovery is confidently ex

interrupted by the attack upon the life
of the prosecuting attorney, was re
