Proxy Matters Compromised? Tanana
Man May Win Delegateshio
(Sp cial Dispatches to Daily Alaskan.)
Seattle, Nov. 16? The Alaskan con
vention continues to present interesting
complications. The uncertainty of the
results add interest to the proceedings
The fight over the question of proxies
was settled satisfactorily last night and
the tight is now centering on the elec
tion of the delegate to Washington.
Ptoit . ompromlu Adopted
The compromise resolution ?s to vot
ing proxies permit those who are
actually engaged in mining or other
operations in Alaska, even if they are
out during the winter, the right to
vota as delegates or prox'es for dele
gates. The fight on the proposition
was brought up last night by Gov.
Swineford. of Ketchikan, introducing
a resolution providing that none except
actual residents of the district be al
lowed a seat in the convention or per
mitted to vote. The delegates from
Nome declared that as many of their
proxies are h ?ld by men who spend the
w;nter out of Alaska the terms of th^s[
resolution would shut out a large por-j
tion of their vote.
Fight on Convention for Delega'e
The tight of the caavention will come
up this afternoon over the election of a
delegate in'congrtss. Last night Hall,
of Fairbanks, charged that Messrs.
Nye, Bleecker and Manley, of this del
egation. had gone into the Ryan camp.
Instructions are expecttd to arrive be
fore the voting this afternoon directing
these men to turn their 10 proxies ovor
to Carl M. Johanson, to vote for him
self. If this shall be done the Tanana
man is almost certain of election as the
delegate to Washington.
Col. Perkina Explains
Col. W. T. Perkins took the floor last
night on a point of personal privilege.
Ele declared that the use of his name
by the Nome delegation in connection
with the governorship and for endorse
ment to be Gov. Brady's successor was
unauthorized. He said the statements
that such would be atte mpted were
made for the purpose of misleading del

(Special Dispatch to Taily Alaskan.)
St. Petersburg, Nov. 17 ? The situation here is very grave. The city has the ap
pearance of a military camp and a feeling of serious apprehensiveness permiates every
class of society. Cossacks are patrolling the streets and heavy military reserves are posted
in the industrial district.
The criminal element is waiting its time to start riots and it is feared when started
they will be very destructive of life and property.
The Jewish inhabitants are terrified. They are shut up in their shops and are
huddled in their living apartments. Their stores are closed everywhere and they remain
from sight of the populace.
It is known that the leaders of the mobs plan to cut all telegraph wires and to ham
per all methods of communication in every way possible.
Foreigners are fearfull for their own safety.
The British ambassy has advised all women to leave for the country. If they re
main in the city, they are notified that they do so at their own risk. Other foreign em
bassies are ?as fearful as the British and they are taking similar precautions to protect
their people. Today they are giving out the sar.ie advice as that given out by the British
embassy yesterday.
