PRINCETON, N. J.. Nov. 12—Al
though President-elect Wilson had
told his friends that he expected to
keep his mind in a receptive mood
and did not expect to give expression
to his intentions or his hopes, ho
finds it difficult not to talk, particu
larly as he is besieged on all sides.
While the subject of labor was un
der discussion last evening Govern
or Wilson declared, “I certainly hope
that there will be a new member of
the cabinet and that he will preside
over a department of labor. Eevery
body expects it, and I am told on
all sides that Congress favors the
new department. Its immediate
creation, however, is dependant upon
the next session of Congress.
CHEYENNE, Nov. 12—A long ex
isting feud between batteries B. and
D. of the fourth field division, at
Fort Russell, resulted in a class riot
on the streets here last night that
thoroughly alarmed and excited the
whole town. Guards from the fort
and extra policemen were kept busy
for several hours in trying to restore
order. Over fifty soldiers were ar
rested. Private Zilinsky and Martin
were seriously injured.
MADRID, Nov. 12—Senor Don
Jose Canalejas, Prime Minister of
Spain, was assassinated this morn
ing. His assailant was an anarchist
who fired two shots at the Premier’s
head, both bullets taking effect. He
then immediately suicided by shoot
ing himself. Previous to his attack
on the Premier, the anarchist de
clared that a spirit of revenge de
manded that he put the Premier out
of the way. The name of the assas
sin is Manuel Pardinas Zarrato
Martin.
LONDON, Nov. 12—The corre
spondent of Daily News cables that
the conditions in Constantinople are
in a more deplorable state than the
public has been led to believe. He
states that a quarter of a million peo
ple are already almost in a staving
condition.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9—The
other day Col. Isaac Trumbo, the
noted art connoisseur and politician,
was attcked by a foot pad. He re
sisted an attempt to rob him and
as a result was badly beaten. Last
night he died from the effects of the
encounter.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11—The suit
brought by Mme. Lillian Nordica, the
singer, to recover $50,000 from the
Southern Railroad Company for in
juries received in a wreck while
traveling on the company's road,
which has been dragging through
the Supreme Court and the higher
courts of this State for the past
. ten years, was dismissed by Justice
Ford on a stipulation signed by coun
sel for the singer and the railroad
company. Mme. Nordica is now the
wife of George W. Young, a banker.
The terms of the settlement of the
case were not made public.
SEATTLE, Nov. 9—With apparent
result at one time • favoring M. E.
Hay and then again seeming to in
dicate that Earnest Lister had been
elected, it has finlly been determined
that the next Governor of the state
of Washington will be a Democrat,
and his name is Lister. His lead is
slight, but sufficient for all practical
purposes. Bob Hodge would un
doubtedly have been carried through
with Roosevelt on the Progressive
ticket, if the newspapers had not
shown up his bad private and public
record.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 12—John
Schrank, the attempted assassin of
Col. Roosevelt in this city on October
3 5, was brought before Judge Backus
of the Municipal court this morning.
A trial was obviated by Schrank’s
plea of guilty of assault wtih intent
to murder. He will be sentenced
later. State’s attorney, Winfred C.
Zabel, declares that >he believes
Schrank to be sane, unless, perhaps,
, he is a paranoiac on the subject of
a third term. The prosecutor says,
“If Schrank is insane, it seems
that there is a method in his mad
ness when he selects for the scene of
his crime a state where there is no
capital punishment. I am informed
in messages from New York there has
been no insanity in Schrank's family
as far as can be traced. In addition
the man presents none of the usual
surface indications of insanity.”
SEATTLE, Nov. 9—The steamer
Northwestern sailed from this port
last night and will go via Cape Flat
tery and the outside passage. She

ed that he will be captured before
night.

cultural Department makes the an
nouncement that the corn crop in the
United States is 3,170,000,030 bush
els. This is the largest crop ever
produced by any country in the his
tory of the world.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9—An effort was
made by Jack Johnson to raise $30,
000 bail, but failing in that he was re
manded to jail, and there he is likely
to remain. The feeling against him
is intense. The Chicago club women
started a national fight against Jack
Johnson through the medium of the
National Federation of Women’s
Clubs. Mrs. Sara Webb Helm, who
represents the Chicago club women
has taken the matter up with Presi
dent Taft and Attorney General Wick
ersham urging the Federal prosecu
tion against Johnson to the utmost.
John R. Lynch, former negro Con
gressman and Federal officeholder,
“This man is physically strong, but
mentally weak. Some of his race
have been proud of him as a prize
fighter, never as anything else. At
all times they have looked on him as
undesirable citizen, never given ac
cess to their houses. I'm satisfied no
fair minded white man or woman will
pass judgment on the colored people
by reason of the acts and utterances
of Johnson.”
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8—Lieut.
Augustus Norton has made the an
nouncement here that the war de
partment will establish a chain of
aeroplane depots on the Pacific coast.
CHICAGO, Nov. 8—As a result of
the recent federal grand jury inves
tigations Jack Johnson was yesterday
arrested for violation of the Mann
act. He is specifically charged with
the transportation of Belle Schreiber,
a white girl, from Pittsburg to Chi
cago, for unlawful purposes. The
evidence also implicates him in vari
ous other acts. When the officers
read the warrant to Johnson and
placed the handcuffs on him he broke
down and cried.
SEATTLE, Nov. 8—The Alaska
Whaling Company had a successful
season in the north. A total of 310
whales were caught, the largest about
seventy-six feet long. The weather
was rough at Akutan throughout the
season. The company’s fertilizer
plant was not completed until in July
and a serious loss of the catch oc
curred during one of the severe
storms which swept the coast near
Akutan. The carcasses of nearly
200 of the mammals which had been
beached were carried off shore by the
heavy wind and sea and are now
adrift in Bering sea.
These were the dead whales which
Capt. Louis Knaflich, of the power
schooner Bender Brothers, sighted
while bound from Bethel, on the Kus
kokwim river, for Seattle. He said
they were a menace to navigation and
might cause serious damage vo the
smaller vessels plying Bering se<t.
The whaling steamers Unimak and
Kodiak were built at yards in this
city and have just completed their
first season in the North.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov.9—An as
tounding story of bigamy and crime
was told today when Addison F.
Beaton had a hearing on a charge of
embezzlement. It was testified by city
detectives that Ellsworth had at
least ten wives in different parts of
the country, including several in this
city. Ellsworth was arrested at
2433 North Fifteenth street, where he
was living with the alleged latest
Mrs. Ellsworth, who was present at
the hearing and declared she would
stick to her husband, no matter what
happened.

Cordova has the distinction of
having in her midst at present the
oldest postmaster in the United
States. He is C. H. Cope by name,
and for 42 years he has held the
office of post master at Kodiak, be
ing appointed in 1869. He came to
Cordova as a witness in a case that
was to have come up before the grand
jury, but he will now go on to Valdez
and attend court there in December.
The emoluments of his office have
not yet been sufficient to permit Mr.
Cope to retire and enjoy the balance
of his days in idle luxury.
rne contest tor senator in tins ui
vision continues close, with Col. Mil
lard in the lead. The vote of Gold
en, or Port Wells as the precinct is
more famiarly known, does not give
Baldwin a vote, and thus puts Ray a
few votes ahead of him. Our totals
are now as follows: Baldwin, 734;
Tansev, 458; Millard, 766; Ray. 738;
German, 299; O’Neil, 276;. Bald
win’s vote is increased 9 front yester
day’s totals because the vote of Res
urrection sent us by the Prospector
did not give Baldwin any votes. A
wire from the Seward Gateway today
states that he received 9 votes, and
Ray 8 instead of 7 as previously re
ported. The totals, as compiled by
the Prospector, are as follows for
the leaders: Millard, 766; Ray,
750; Baldwin, 722. Our contem
porary has evidently made other er

A Texas court has just dismissed
a six years’ old murder case that had
been continued about six times by
the State for the reason that the
State cannot even find enogh testi
mony to prove the corpus deliciti.
The same court dismissed another
murder case because of the main wit
nesses are dead and others cannot be
found in the county. The law seems
to be exceptionally leisurely in the
