NEW YORK, Oct. '.'1. A reception waa
given T. P. O'Connor nod hia aswociste
member! of Parliament from Ireland. Ed-w-ard

United Irish league. Supreme Court Jus

ber of Parliament were Michael J. Ryan. !
president of the I'nlted Irish league of
Philadelphia; Mgr. Lavelle and Colonel
Duffy and other officers of the Sixty-ninth
regiment.
Mr. O'Connor was warmly greeted when
he arose to apeak. ' He aald he 'was In
America to obtain Its moral and material
support and then added:
"At this point I must mak a correction
of a report which In one respect I am sure
does not represent what I said In a speech
In Brooklyn last night. I did not state
that President Roosevelt would say some
thing on the Irish question which may
make possible th realization of our hopes.
If I had made any such statement I would
have aald something for which I had no
warrant. What I did say was that the
English masses and the Irish manses both
consider lilsn the man who made peace
between Russia and Japan and that both
regard htm as a friend and that the dny
might come when they would welcome
hgn as one of the mediators In trying to t
end the day or lamentable estrangement j
between the Ktigllsh and Irish p-ople." j

INCREASE IN ALASKAN GOLD

WASHINGTON. Ocl. a.-No romance is
of keener interest than the story of the
development of the mining Industry In
Alaeka during the last decade. It is at
tes'ed roughly by th Increase in the value
of It annual output from fi'.too.OMi in 189,1
to more than tlo.OOU.noo in 1W6. The gold
production of 196, according lo reports of
the United Bisks geological survey. In
creased probably SO per cent over lHot.
An Important fact in the advancement of
Alaska' mineral Industry during the last
decade, says the report, is the gnat reduc
tion In mining cost that 'has taken place
during this period. The pioneer miners of
the Yukon could no t afford to handle
gravel averaging r9 than Jlo or 115 to th -cubic
yard. In the same district good
wage ran now be made, even by crude
methods, in extracting gold from pay
streaks averaging leas than 15 to the cubic
yard. ' '

Terrible liars In the Sea.
Survivor from one of the; boat of the
Florida Coast railway extension along the
keys tell a harrowing tale of death and de
struction caused by the storm of Thur
day. W. P. Dusenberry, civil engineer In
charge of the work on I,ong Key. who
miraculously escaped death, arrived here
on the Russian steamer Jennie, among
other' survivors rescued. He says house
boat No. 4. on which were 150 men. was
truck by the storm at 6 o'clock Thursday
morning and was driven out Into th gulf
through' Sawk's channel. At 6 o'clock the
house boat began to break up, and a the
great waves hit It men. singly and In
j bunches of two and three, were washed
! Into the sea and drowned. Some went
tielow for protection, but when the top
of the boat waa ca tried away the wave
rushed In and the boat soon went to pieces,
thirty or forty of th men being crushed
to death In 'the collapse, the others grab
bing timbers ' to snve themselves from
drowning. Engineer Duaenberry waa In the
hold, but succeeded In getting a log and
floated until Friday night. On one piece
of timber six- men were clinging and nine
were hanging to another. ' The side of the
house boat was crowded with men. It
turned over three' times, each time re
ducing the number of men.
The Russian steamer Jennie sighted the
wreck end succeeded In rescuing the forty
nine men w.ho were brought here. Three
other stesmer with searchlights were pick
ing up dead and alive men when the Jen
nie left the scene. '
. There . was' another house boat with 150
neo on board at Long Key. which Mr.
Dusenberry thinks waa also swept to sea.
There wa in all tan. boat -at Long Kev,
mortar mixers, dredgers and. other boat
engaged In th work. . ,
The survivor were furnished food and
