By Cable to the Dally Gateway
NYw York, Nov.!' Met YYtn was
elected mayor on the fabe of the re
turns by the small*margin ever
given to a >ueeessfu! ear.hiouie in this
city. The official lid i< - are not yet
complete.
William R. Hearst late yesterday
secured an order from Justice Raynor
of the supreme court to compel the
police to surrender all ballot boxes for
the purpose of a recount. The ballot
boxes are in the custody of the police,
to Ik* turned in to the city comptroller
with their contents.
Hearst charges fraud against l.OOOj
election inspectors of the city. He
affirms that h * has proof that ilo.ooo
voters who intended to vote for him ,
went to tne polls and found that ballots
had been cast in their names by other
men. undoubtedly Tammany repeaters, j
William M. Ivins, the defeated Re
publican nominee, will assist Hearst
in the legal tight. He makes similar
charges of fraud against the Tammany
officials.
New York, Nov. 10 Mayor McClellan ;
today retained Judge Alton R. Parker
as his chief counsel in the mayoralty
contest. Seven stolen ballot boxes are
still missing. ;.ll from heavy Hearst
precincts. One ballot box was found in
an a Rev last night and was taken to
District Attorney Jerome’s office.
ADDS TO SCHOOL TUND
Comptroller Allows More Money and
Teachers for Alaska.
By Cable to the Daily Cateway
Washington, I), l'.. Nov. I The j
comptroller of the currency has decided j
to allow more teaehers and a larger
fund for the support of Alaska schools
than ia*t year. This decision i* based
on the returns of otimated prosnective
attendance from the different dU
t riels.
A letter was received recent It from
(iuv. Brady h\ !•'. <1. Hale of the local j
school lwiard. stating that under the ;
ruling of the comptroller Seward, as an
unincorporated town, would be entitled i
to only one teacher and a live months’
school at government expense. An at
tempt ha* been made to induce the
comptroller to change his ruling hut
whether the decision announced in the j
telegraph new* today is due to such
! reversal, is only guesswork.
Last winter Seward paid more than
*5.000 to the government in license and
j received $500 for the support of its
schools.
*
Among the Portland’s freight was j
*i.\ big hoh*leds. consigned to D. t '.
I Brownell. The sleds were a special
order for Contractor Harty, who has a j
contract near the tunnels.
The newest stampede in the interior
| is to the Novakak t. It is a river
heading up toward the Kuskokwim and
flowing into the Yukon eighty-five miles

Waters Absolutely free from Ice
and Railroad Graders Work
in Soft Ground.
“No frost yet at the head of Turn-j
[ again Arm," is the report brought!
j down tins week by \\. H. Poland,!
general manager and chief engineer of
the Alaska Central. When he left!
there was not a film of ice on the
waters of < 'ook Inlet.
< »n the comparatively level stretch
hetween mill’s .*»•» and • *•» of the line
rraders are working in soft ground.
Although the nights are chilly the
'thermometer has rarely touched the
frost line and has not yet heen low
I enough to fre-’/e the ground. Mecause
of this the graders have heen kept
persistently at dirt work. There is
, plenty of rock work but it is being
saved up for the cold weather.
This side of the tunnels work is pro
! grossing well. The end ot the track
is now on mile 44, and with the com
pletion of several rock obstructions
will lie laid almost, to the lirst tunnel,
on mile lit. It is expected that this
: will he done by the middle of next
mont h.
The tunnel camp is established on
mile p>. The storehouse and bunk
liouse are built and everything is in
readiness for the winter’s session. A
good roadway was linishe.i >me time
ago. Men arc engaged now in elear
. ing away rock ad .10 :it to both portals
1 of the tunnel, preparatory to boring,
which will begin in a few wi cks. Kx
• cept a few stretches of rock within a
• mile of the tunnel the i*:ul will be
complete before tie* end ot tie* year.
: A majority of tie men employed all
; winter will hi* on the ten miles this
side of Turnagain Arm, tie* head of
I which is at flu* end of mile ,;.i.
Mr. Poland was accompanied on h’s
1 trip to tin* Inlet, by c. P. 1*rtutcis,
I treasurer of the railroad company, and
I Pert Holland of the engineering corps.
! They went on the north side of the
: north side of the Arm to a point as far
as Sunrise and crossed over to that
place.
Men who came in yesterday from the
j Inlet report that it had been raining
J there a little for a day or two before.
This is the lirst rain for several weeks
along Turnagain Arm. The weather
had been not only dry, hut warm.
WILL RECEIVE
i IMPORTS HERE
Seward now has a deputy inspector
of customs in the person of W. M.
Sauers, of the Seward Commercial
| C ompany. Mr. Sauers was sworn in
i Thursday by Deputy Inspector Edward
L. Spiers of Valdez, to whom he will
! report. Mr. Spiers came over on tin*
Portland and returned on the same
steamer.
Hereafter imports can be landed at
Seward and Mr. Sauers will collect
I the duty. This is the first step toward
making Seward a suh-port, from which
vessels can clear. It has already been
promised that Seward shall he a suh
port next year some time.
Some people might think that the
promise could he quickly fulfilled, in
asmuch as it requires only an order
from the secretary of the treasury, but
persons who entertain such a strange
hallucination do not know how many
miles of red tape span the distance be
tween a promise and a fulfillment
'through one of the national depart
ments. Several dozen minor officials
have to earn their salaries by making
i reports and recommendations before
! the labyrinth of red tape which hinds
Seward to Valdez can be untangled.
It would he contrary to all adminis
trative rules to cut the tape as Alex
; underdid the (iordian knot.
Consequently for some months longer
steamers loaded with men and freight f» r
Seward will have to go into Valdez to
get permission to come here.
The annual howl of a car shortage is
, going up all over the country.
RIOT AND REVOLUTION
RAMPANT IN RUSSIA
Slaughters in tidy Towns find 10,000 Victims Within a Week
Plot lor Universal Massacre ol Jews Discovered Alter Partly

By Cable to the Daily Gateway
St. I Vtersburg. Nov. 1 Fromasemi
' official statement today it is learned
that at least 10,000 persons have per-'
ished in the riots and mas-acres in
fifty towns of Southern Russia within
the last week. A plot for a wholesale,
massacre of .lews throughout I he Sout h
ern part of the empire was discovered
in time to check it by rushing troops
to the larger cities.
A- it was the plot was partly execu
ted and the slaughter was tin* greatest
! ever known in troubles of that kind.
Attacks upon the .lews are now con
lined to Theodosia and Saratoll.
A revolutionary out break i- reported
from Kosterom, accompanied with
great slaughter, 'flu* number of killed
and wounded ha- not been learned, but
it i- -aid to be large.
The government admits it- inability
to restrain the disord-Ts which are
daily breaking out in all parts of the
.empire. The czar still clings to 11is
! tit!'*, which was not given up in tin*
'manifesto of abdication, but lie at
tempt- no control over olliciul action.
The revolutionists continue to gain
strength all over the empire and it is
impossible to foresee the end.
Assailed funeral Procession
Moscow, Nov. 1 While a funeral
precession was returning from a ceme
tery yesterday in a perfectly orderly
manner, marauders who were hid
ing behind the walls of the grounds of
i a university, opened lire upon the
marching column, shooting many down
from behind. The people in the pro
cession tried to break through tlu* uni
versity gates in anetVort to find a place
of safety, hut the gates were discov
ered to lie locked and burred. Twelve
of tlio funeral marchers were killed
and at least lot) wounded.
Many soldiers have joined the revo
| lutionury movement, which continues
1 to grow, and the authorities appear
’ unable to repress it in any way.
Socialists Cell off Parade
St. Petersburg. Nov. <i Fear of
wholesale slaughter by the military
authorities induced the Socialist Demo
crats today to call off the monster
parade and demonstration which they
had arranged to make at the funerals
of the victims of recent riots. They
claim they had information that the
government intended to signalize the
occasion by the* greatest massacre in
history.
The funerals are being held privately
and thousands keep watch for interfer
ence by the police. No demonstra
tions of any kind mark the interments.
The revolutionists say they now ex
pect a period of quiet, but announce
that they intend to renew the tight for
; enlarged liberty whenever the govern
ment shows that it does not intend to
grant popular demands. The revolu
tionary leaders predict open battle
with the troops whenever the conflict
is re-opened. They are still busily
organizing and arming in every city of
the empire.
All over Russia prison doors opened
.at <> o'clock this morning for the release
of political prisoners under the terms
of the recent amnesty. Crowds of near
relatives were waiting around every
prison to greet their loved ones when
they came out, and the scenes every
where were pathetic in the extreme
when hundreds of families were re
united.
Horrible Torture of Jews
Odessa, Nov. (I- Horrible atrocities
mark the riots in the Jewish quarter
of the city, which continue almost
without restraint. Tongues of living
victims have been torn out by the roots
and nails driven into the heads of both
men and women. Living persons of
j both sexes have been placed in spiked
i barrels and rolled about until they died
. of the torture.
It is impossible to form an estimate
I of the number of «1<-a11 >-> in these ma*"
