the old line party which goes down to
defeat today, whether it be the repub

grate, and never again have a national |
ticket in the field. The political con- j
tests of the next decade,he said, would !
be between the forces of temperance
on the one side, and the remnants of
the old parties consolidated in the

*
—
Receivers Goodwin and Laberee of
the Alaska Central railway were
among the arrivals on the Santa Clara
last night. Accompanying them were
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Lathrop and A. H.
Wheatley. Mr. Laberee will return j
to Spokane on the Clara, Mr. Goodwin
and Mr. and Mrs Lathrop will go to
Valdez, and Mr. Wheatley will remain
as agent in charge of the Alaska
Central property for the receivers.
Mr. Goodwin will return later to re
main during the receivership.
Mr. Wheatley’s principal work will
be to make a detailed invoice of the ■
company’s property, which the re-;
eeivers will certify to the court. This
invoice will serve as the schedule of
property conveyed in the foreclosure ;
sale. Beyond the invoicing and certi
fying of the property, the receivers
will have no duties except to see that
the railroad is preserved and protected j
from waste and deterioration until its
transfer to the new owners.
On the request of Attorney Graves,
representing the trustee for the bond
holders in the foreclosure suit, Judge
Reid authorized the issuance of $25,
000 in receivers’certificates with which
to pay the expenses of the reeeiver
shiy under the Ballaine suit and to
keep the property in repair under the
present receivership. These certifi
cates will bear 8 per cent, interest.
Mr. Graves stated to the court in ap
plying for the order that the Canadian
banks which hold $3,600,000 of Alaska
Central bonds were willing to advance j
the money on the certificates for tlie j
protection of the railroad.
The extent of the repairs to be!
undertaken this winter has not been j
determined by the receivers. No deli-1
nite action can be taken by them with- j
out first submitting a recommendation '
to the court of the work to be done, j
and receiving the authority of the,
court to do the work.
Under every receivership, property
covered by it is in the charge and cus- ;
tody of the court, and the receiver is
the agent of the court to do only as
the court authorizes and directs.
The Hotel McNeiley has every mod
ern improvement, warm and well light
ed rooms, comfortable writing tables,
and every other convenience of a first
class hotel.

icably Settled.
3y Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Tokio, Nov. 3—Official announce
• *
rnent was made yesterday that the con
tinuance of friendship between Japan
and the United States is now assured
by a new treaty between the two na
tions which will be exchanged soon
after the presidential election. This
amicably settles all disputes between
Japan and the United States which
arose out of the American exclusion
of the Japanese. The best of good will
and understanding now exists between
the two nations.
While no advance information has
been given out, yet it is generally un
derstood that the Japanese nation
withdraws its objection to the Japan
ese exclusion act and the refusal on
the part of the United States to natu
ralize Japanese subjects.
