ALFONSO MAY
HAVE FALLEN
Reported in London That the King'
of Spain Is Assassinated in
the Roval Palace.
¥
By Cr.bie to Tbe Dally Gateway.
London, Nov. 23—Report has reached
here that King Alfonso of Spain was
assassinated in the royal palace last
night. Repeated attempts have been
made to get an official confirmation of
the report, but none has yet been re
ceived. It is greatly feared that the j
report is true. Much anxiety has been
felt for many months that an attempt
would be made upon the life of the J
king. His officials have tried to guard j
against an attack, but the king him- J
self has seemed to be indifferent or j
unsuspecting, and lias often exposed j
himself needlessly to the attack of
those who seek an opportunity to take
his life.
Further news is awaited here with
great anxiety.

RICHARDSON TO
MAKE REPORT
Chairman of Alaska Road Com
mission Gives Views on Open
ing up Territory.
I
Bv Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Seattle, Nov. 23—Major W. P. Rich
ardson, chairman of the road coramis
sion in Alaska, left this morning for
Washington, 1). C., to report to Presi
dent Roosevelt and to make his recom
mendations for the commission for the
coming vear. He said before he left
Seattle that one of the greatest and
most pressing needs of Alaska at the
present time is more wagon roads and
better means of access to different
parts of the territory; that the wealth
of the country is a fully established
fact and its rapid development awaits
only upon the opening of roads where
by miners and prospectors can trans
port their supplies to the localities
where they are needed. Congress, he
says, has heretofore manifested a wil
lingness to appropriate money for
roads and trails to those sections of the
country that have given evidence of
wealth sufficient to warrant opening
them up. lie will embody in his rec
ommendations the building ot the
Nome trail from Knik that was sur
veyed last winter by the party headed
by Goodwin and Fulham, the opening
up of which in the near future de
pends largely upon the good reports
from the Innoko Country.
Major Richardson said also that
Hood roads from the coast into the
interior would lead not only to the de
velopment of the mineral wealth of
the country, but also to the develop
ment of the agriculural resources so
that in a few years the miners' sup
plies would largely come from home
grown products.

SPEAKERSHIP
IS IN DOUBT
Opposition to Cannon Who Says
He Will Abide by Action of
Republican Caucus.
Oy Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Danville, 111., Nov. 23—Joseph G.
Cannon says he will abide by the ac
tion of the republican caucus on the
question of his reelection to the speak
ership of the house of representatives
in the next congress. Mr. Cannon an
ticipates opposition from Mr. Taft,
and he attributes that opposition to
Taft’s belief that he has shown bad
faith in the revision of the tariff.
Mr. Taft has stated that his party’s
pledges for the revision of the tariff
were made in good faith, and he appar
ently does not want a speaker of the
house who will use his intluence to
thwart the party in its attempt to re
deem its pledges.
Opposition to the return of Mr. Can
non to congress manifested itself both
in the east and the west before elec
tion, though it was not strong enough
to compass his defeat. There are in
dications that with the large majority
which the republicans will have in the
next house a determined effort will be
made to choose another than Cannon
for speaker.
Complimentary Dance
The Seward Baseball club and the
Seward orchestra will give a dance in
Moore’s hall Wednesday evening.
Everybody invited.
The Carnegie Steel Company of
Pittsburg places B. F. Shallenberger,
a faithful employe of over thirty years’

forthwith dies of a broke heart. He
might have lived forever if he hadn’t
quit work.

iously asking what we will do with
Roosevelt when he returns from his
African trip. Unless he loses a good
share of his ability he will be able to
take care of himself.

pedition has received supplies at Point

CLAM HUNTERS
j DRI\ N ASHORE
Gray and Alexander Can,t Row
Against Wind and Have to
Walk Home at Ebb Tide.
1 _
E. R. Gray and Fred Alexander went
down the bay to Lowell point Satur
day to catch clams. They were busily
engaged gathering in the ‘succulent
bivalves and did not heed the stiff
breeze that began to blow a warning
gale from tlie north. When at length
they were ready to return with their
catch they found they could make no
headway against the north wind.
Nothing was left for them to do but
draw up their boat on tlie shore and
i wait for a change of wind or outgoing
! tide. As the wind showed no signs of
j shifting or losing any of its velocity
j they concluded to take advantage of
| the ebbing tide, and made their way
on foot along the pebbly shore. They
reached the town at a late hour.
In the meantime their prolonged
absence from their homes caused great
anxiety. Fear was entertained that
the men had been shipwrecked, or
that some other dire calamity had be
fallen them. Plans were on foot for
firing up and manning the launch Val
dez and sending out a rescuing party as
soon as the dawn of day gave light
enough to begin, the search for the
missing men.
The intense mental strain was re
lieved when the bedraggled bivalve
hunters with pockets bulging with the
days catch made their appearance on
the beach. Fires were built, clam
chowder prepared and anxiety was
changed into joy and feasting.
Steamer Santa Clara is reported to
have left Juneau at midnight the 21st
inst. enroute for Cordova.
