To the south and west of Kodiak. distant about 100 miles, and forming one of the Semldl group, is the island of Chirikof, the haunted island of Alaska. Enshrouded for a great portion of the time with almost impenetrable fog. the Tanna Tribune says, this lonely isle is an object of terror to the natives, who will not go near the saying it means certain death to invade the canny confines, and there are few men in the far north who have the temerity to test the truth of the tales told oi ibis forbidding and bsrren island. Shipmasters and sailors passing the place assert that the agonizing cries of Russian exiles sent there to starve or die of torture are sometimes heard on quiet nights, while the clink ol chains and the sound of blows are testified to in an affidavit by a white man who once attempted to remain then- for a week and who lost hi? reason Will PARTY Great Desire of President Taft Is to Reconcile the Warring Factions.

President -Taft has told some of his friends that he desires nothing so much as harmony In the state of Indiana, and that the reasons for his decision not to spoak In Indianapolis have been entirely misinterpreted.

The Democrats in congress say that it makes little difference whether Mr. Taft wants harmony In Indiana or not. for harmony there Is Impossible, not. they say. so much because of any act of the president at tbo present time.

but because there still exists in Indiana a solid element of standpatifim In the Republican party which can be depended upon either to stay away from the polls or to go to them to vote the Democratic ticket at the election next November. There are several representatives of the old-line regular Republicans now In Washington, men who went out of office when the Democrats succeeded In electing all but two of th" members of the lower house of nnRErcss from the state These visiting Imlianans say that the Democratic claims Ihat the of their tariff habit of mind will stay away from the polls are not true, and i-that for the of- the- administration. if not for any overweening love for tariff revision, they will vote next November for Republican candidates for congress, for Republican state officers and for Republican members of the legislature. One can hear in Washington diametrically opposeil stories about the situation in Indiana each being told with all the evidence that the relator is sincere in thp belief that he is speaking the I ruth- It takes nothing more than these entirely opposed stories to make it seem certain that Indiana In reality is a doubtful state at the present time. There are some Republicans who think that because Senator Beveridge voted against tariff revision, many Democrats will support the candidacy of Republicans for membership in the legislature, men who will vote for the retention of the senior Indiana senator in the upper house of congress.

Democrats Have High Hopes. The Democrats say on the other hand that there will ho no division of their ranks and thai with the hPlp thf get from dissatisfied they will have no dllliculty at all next November in making the lloosicr state practically solid in its Democracy.

From Republican Viewpoint. When the careless-minded 1'cans are asked why they seem to think It will make no material difference If the Democrats control the next house their answer Is that things seem tending toward Democratic success, and that it will be a great deal better to have the success come to the minority next fall than to have It come In 1012.

when a president Is elected. Further, they say that If the Democrats come Into power in the house they surely will pass legislation which the country will look at with much concern. In other words, the Republicans who do not care particularly whether or not the next house is controlled by their party, say that the Democrats when In power can be depended upon to commit blunders enough to make It certain that in two years the people will be glad enough to return a Republican house. The Democrats have heard the Republicans' explanation of their reason for not fearing that the present ml uorlty party can remain In power for more than one congress. The leaders ol the Democratic party say thai If the Republicans expect their Democratic brethren, when In control of the house, to make blunders enough to bring defeat to them at the next election, the enemy is counting on something which is not going to happen If the Democrats carry the elections next November and come into power In the house after March 4 next the belief is general that they will ot once take up the tariff and will pass a low tariff bill for the-sheer purpose of sending it over to the senate to be killed The Democrats would like nothing better than to put the responsibility of defeating a low tariff measure on the shoulders of the Republican senate The minority party members seem to believe that if this Is done and the people know that the Republican senate has killed the downward revision measure (he election of a Democratic president and another Democratic house Is a foregone conclusion Some of the Progressive Republicans in thu house, and many of those who never markedly have been advocates of progression, are worried because of the seeming disinclination on the part of the Ile publican Readers to push any oi th" Taft legislation at this session except that which has to do with Inlunitatc II IB loo well known to admit ot doubt thai- some of the old line lie.
