CONGRESSMEN.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.—Lawrence Y.
Sherman and Roger Sullivan are now
running neck and neck. It was sup
posed last night and this morning that
Sullivan would go to the senate with
out a question but Sherman is now
showing strength. Raymond Robinson
who had the support of Roosevelt anti
the Chicago daily papers is running
a poor third. The democrats have
lost ten Illinois congressmen. Cannon
has been surely elected.

1 VALPARAISO, Nov. 4.—The news
has beer, confirmed that German war
ships have won a big victory over the
British off Cornell.
The British cruiser Mot.mouth was
sunk with all on board and the other
British vessels engaged just managed
to escape after having been badly
damaged. The Germans had five ships
in the battle and the British had four.
The four British ships were the Mon
mouth, the Good Hope and the Glas
gow as well as a ship called the
Otrajoes. The German vessels were
only slightly damaged and the total
German loss was six men killed. The
Monmouth was a cruiser of 9,800 tons
displacement and the Good Hope is
of 14,100 tons.
JAPANESE CAPTURE GERMANS
TOKIO, Nov. 4.—The Japanese
forces before Tsingtau have des
troyed 26 German guns and have cap
tured 800 of the German defenders.
The Japanese are now’ attacking the
German trenches and the final strug
gle is supposed to be near at hand.
SLIGHT PROGRESS BY ALLIES
PARIS, Nov. 4.—T!.c official re
ports this afternoon indicate that the
allies have made slight progress in
different places. These reports are
exceedingly meagre, however, and
very little can be told as to the pro
gress of the war in France and Bel
gium. Not a word worth relating has
been received from Russian Poland.
IS GOOD HOPE SUNK
LONDON, Nov. 4.—The news of
the big naval battle in Chilean
waters has arrived here and, needless
to say, has created a very unpleasant
sensation. It is feared that the cruis
er Good Hope has been sunk and if
she has it means the loss of fifteen
hundred men. She was one of the big
cruisers of the British navy and the
fact that she and the other warships
could be beaten by the Germans is re
garded as most serious.
RUSSIANS ATTACK TURKS
PETROGRAD, Nov. 4.—The Rus
sian army in Caucasia has crossed
the Turksh frontier and has driven
back the Turkish advance guards and
taken a number of towms.
GERMAN CRUISER GETS NOTICE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—The state
department has informed the Jap
anese embassy that the German cruis
er Gier has been given a certain time
to leave Honoulu or must be interned.
No one has the least idea what the
cruiser will do, if she leaves she will
run the danger of being sunk by the
Japanese warship but it is believed
that she tyill go out anyhow and take
a chance as her loss would hardly be
more than the internment.
DEMOCRATS
HOLDHOUSES
BUT MAJORITY IN LOWER
(
HOUSE WILL BE
! SMALL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—It is now
seen this afternoon that the demo
crats will hold the control of both
houses but the majority in the lower
house will be small. Most people are
disappointed here, needless to say, and
no one seemed to think that such a
landslide would have occurred. Sev
eral leading democrats declare that
the story will be a ditferent one twro
years from now.
BUNNELL CARRIES NOME
Bunnell carried Nome from Wicker
shum by seven votes. Andy Anderson
is evidently the new senator for that
division. Jim Daly who is elected for
the house is a brother of A. J. Daly,
formerly national democratic commit
teeman for Alaska.
The following is the vote for Nome;

Chamberlain, W. A. C. Baldwin, H.
C. McNaught, W. B. Hastings, C.
Ketagua and J. Barry.
CARRANZA REFUSES TO
ACCEPT THE DECISION
ELPASO, Nov. 3.—Carranza has
already declared that he will not abide
by the decision of the national conven
tion at Aguas Calientes in selecting
another for the provisional presidency
and matters once more look very un
promising. Villa has made no state
ment as to his intentions but it is as
sumed that if Carranza persists in
his obstinate course his former friend
will take extreme measures. Carranza
now seems to be the only obstacle to
peace in the republic.
TROOPS TO QUELL STRIKE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—Federal
troops have been sent into the Hart
ford valley, Arkansas, where the
striking miners refuse to obey the
order of Federal Judge Young.
GERMANS IN TURKEY
LONDON, Nov. 3.—Reports are be
ing circulated that German officers
and men are being poured into Tur
key as fast as they can be sent. The
Germans who can speak Turkish are
being chosen and it has become evi
dent that the Turkish language has
become most popular in German mil
itary circles in recent years. It has
also been learned that the Turks have
been equipped with modern weapons
and that every possible step has been
taken to make them far more formid
able than they ever were before.
SEWARD GIVES
WICK. MAJORITY
DELEGATE BEATS DEMOCRAT
BY FORTY FIVE
VOTES IN CITY.
The full returns have not yet been
revived owing, no doubt, to a con
gestion of business but the fact that
Wickersham has passed Bunnell by
about four hundred votes in the First
division will compel an admission that
he has been elected. The full returns
from the Tanana valley are not yet
in and as that is Wickersham's
stronghold there seems to be no ques
ton that the delegate holds his place
by a big vote.
He will also win in Ruby, the Idita
rod and other camps that have a
good vote. He has apparently also
carried many of his supporters into
the local legislature, but the full facts
can hardly be known before tomorrow.
The result of the vote in Seward
wras as follows;
Wickersham 163, Bunnell 118, Hub
bard 100, Price 83, Holland 100 Brad

Bunnell carried the city of Juneau
but has been beaten in the division.
Sulzer is evidently ahead of O’Connor,
the mayor of Douglas, for the senate.
Sulzer is a brother of the former

PROHIBITION
STATE OF WASHINGTON RE
TURNS LOOK NOW LIKE
VICTORY FOR DRYS.
SEATLE, Nov. 4.—The latest re
j turns this afternoon make it look as
; if the drys are going to carry tho
state after all. Out of 663 precincts,
including this city and King county
a prohibition stronghold, prohibition
gets 48,377 against 47,270. The pro
hibitionists now say that Wm. L. La
follette has been elected to congress
from the Fourth district. In the
Spokane district C. C. Dill, democrat,
has probably been elected to congress.
DAD INGRAM RETURNS THANKS
“Sincere thanks to the people of
Seward for the splendid support
given to Dad Ingram.” That is the
telegram received today by Frank
Youngs from Dad Ingram himself.
VOTE AT MILE 6
Mr. McConnell brought in the vote
from Mile Six this afternoon. It was
Wickersham 5, Bunnell 3, Hubbard 5,
Noon 5 and the remainder scattering.

MANY COMING
FROM INSIDE
W. H. BROOKS OF THE ROAD
COM MI SION TALKS ABOUT
TRAIL.
That a great number of people will
come from the inside this winter over
the trail to Seward is the statement
of W. H. Brooks who has been con
nected with the road commission’s
work on that trail and who stepped
off this morning after coming from
the Iditarod direct. A new cut off, he
says, has been found that shortens the
route by fourteen miles. It is from
the Takotna to Salmon creek. Before
he came out, Mr. Brooks says, the
people in the interior were talking of
joing on to the new Seward mail trail
from many quarters. Ruby was par
ticularly speaking of it and Mr.
Brooks seems to think that the scheme
will be carried, out.
JOE MORRIS DEFEATED
The latest returns show that Joe
Morris got only one vote. He wouldn’t
have got that if he hadn’t started to
show a fellow how to cast a vote and
written his own name at the bottom
of the ballot to explain it.
