VOL. 4 SEWARD, ALASKA. MONDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 9. 1908 NO. 81
TRYING TO
OUST GOMPERS
Some of the Federation Leaders
in National Convention Criti
cise His Political Policy.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 8 -The American
Federation of Labor convened today
for a two weeks, session.
A strong sentiment exists among
many of the delegates to retire Samuel
Gompers as president on account of the
active support he gave William J.
Bryan in the recent campaign. His
course if sustained would commit the
federation to partisan politics, his op
ponents declare, which is contrary to
the constitution of the order.
Some of his staunchest opponents,
too, mainly republicans, are contend
ing that his opposition to Taft was
based on a garbled extract from Taft’s
famous Cincinnati decision in the
Union Labor case while on the bench
there, rather than on the decision as a
whole, and that Taft by quoting the
entire decision in his campaign speech
es proved it to be friendly to labor
rather than hostile. It is argued by
Gompers’ opponents that Taft thereby
worsted Gompers, and turned the tide
of labor sentiment in Taft’s favor.

TROPIC WINDS,
MANILA TO SITKA
Cable Reports Show Progress
of Storm Sweeping Japan
and Alaska.
I
The close connection between the
climate of Alaska and the climate of
the Fast Indias is established beyond
doubt since the installation of the gov
ernment cable, making simultaneous
comparisons and observations possible.
The warm rains and the high winds
that have swept the entire coast of
Alaska since Saturday afternoon,
and, probably have extended inland
to the Yukon valley, followed within
i two days the cable reports of a ty
phoon which blew up from the region
of Borneo and through the China sea.
swamping a steamer near Amoy with
a loss of COO lives.
The next day’s news, on Friday,
told in a dispatch from Tokio, of a ty
phoon raging along the coast of Japan,
1000 miles north of Amoy, and the
ioss of a Japanese steamer with 115
passengers. The distance between
Amoy and Tokio is part of the space
covered by the typhoon in the inter
val of one day.
Saturday noon, just twenty-four
hours later, the advance effects of
this warm wind from the tropics was
felt in Seward, in their progress from
the Japanese islands eastward along
the Aleutian peninsula.
Six hours later the same winds and
warm rains had reached Sitka, 500
miles east of Seward, and the Alaska
coast between Seward and Sitka was
everywhere, according to cable re
ports, enveloped in the tropical storm.
These successive reports by cable,
beginning Thursday at Manila in the
Philippine Islands and ending Satur
day night at Sitka, Alaska, a distance
of 8000 miles, told of the same tropical
wind storm accompanied by warm rains.
In every case its path was north and
i northeasterly.
The wide distribution of warmth by
those tropical winds is apparent from
the temperature at Seward at noon to
day, then the thermometer registered
4(5 above. It is practically identical
with the climate at Tokio and Seattle.
If cable reports could be received
from Manila, also, they probably
would show that the difference
between the temperature of the
tropical metropolis and the tempera
ture of Seward are no farther apart
today, owing to the prevalence of the
same warm w inds over both, than the
temperatures of St. Louis and Chicago.

enway His Seat.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Indianapolis, Jnd., Nov. 9—The indi
ana legislature elected last Tuesday
will probably be democratic on joint

vice-president on the democratic ticket,

didate for the United States senator
ship, to succeed Senator Hemenwav,
republican.
France’s Great Dramatist Dead
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Paris, Nov. 9—Victorien Sardou, a
famous dramatist, died here yesterday
of pulmonary congestion. Sardou was
born in Paris in 1831. He began play
writing in early life, although the
original plan of his education was to fit
him for the medical profession. He
was elected to the Academy in 1877.
Japanese Steamer Founders
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Tokio, Japan, Nov. 7—The Japan
steamer Taishuin Maru foundered off
the Japanese coast during the typhoon
this week, and 115 passengers were
drowned.
New Design for Gold Pieces
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 9—The
mints are now busily engaged in turn
ing out five dollar gold pieces of the
new design authorized by the last con
gress.
Steamer Bulletin
Pennsylvania sailed from Seattle
yesterday.
Santa Clara has passed Juneau en
route to Seattle.
Bertha is due in Cordova from Sew
ard this morning.
The Bertha arrived at three o’clock
Saturday afternoon from the westward,
but owing to the storm did not leave
Seward until ten o’clock Sunday on
her return trip to Seattle.
Steamer Yucatan arrived at noon
today. There were a number of pas
sengers from Cordova to spend the
winter in Seward.

AUSTRIA IN
I AN UPHEAVAL
Emperors William and Joseph
Conferring on Race Troubles
of Balkan Conflict.
. . ■ ■ .«•#*
Sy Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Vienna, Austria, Nov. 9—Emperor
William of Germany arrived last even
ing on a visit to Emperor Joseph.
It is believed that the two emperors
are trying to arrange a concert of ac
tion in dealing with the revolt in the
Balkan states against Turkish rule.
The crisis precipitated by the Balkan
revolt has caused a popular upheaval
among the conflicting race elements of
Austria-Hungary. The Czechs of Hun
gary are supporting the Balkans with
money, arms and provisions, contrary
to the national policy. The trouble
has led to rioting in many of the Bohe
mian cities and towns, and official dis
sensions which threaten the resigna
tion of Emperor Joseph’s ministers.
Duke Harris, Chris Hansen and
Frank Watson have been summoned to
Valdez to give testimony in important
cases.
