Plicy Criticised by King's County Pol iticians. NEW YORK Oct. 16. A special meetinjf of the' Democratic General Committee of King's "county ratified the nominations made on the state and lo cal tickets tonight. Senator McCarren, who offered a resolution of endorsement, denounced the head of the ticket, who, he said, had bolted the ticket in this county. ' Never in his recollection had such a situation confronted the party, as in this campaign. The spectacle of a leader refusing to recognize a , ticket waa a novel one. It was an Insult to every Democrat in the county and they would be less than human if they did nr. fl a snirit of resentment. He i called on all voters to resent what he termed an "unjust villiflcation, of re spective candidates." McCarren con eluded at lenjrth In a bitter denuncia tin nof Hearst, who, he declared, was trying to disrupt the Democratic party in the States of California and Illinois. The, Independence League was also roundly condemned by the speaker, who styled H a body organized "for the pur pose of blackmailing the Democratic party." A motion that the committee express, their approval of the attitude of Senator. McCarren was adopted with a rising vote. v ; Obsessed With Success of Initial Law Breaking, Japa Are So Busily En gaged That Guards Discover Them'and Kill One. t VICTORIA, B.

Hunters of tho raiding schooner Toye No, 2 which ap peared off St. Paul Island two days before the raid went to the captain with the ultimatum' that unless he per mitted them to o ashore and club , seals on the rookery, they would refuse to work and compel him to return. I ne master agreed. Further discussion tOK place as to the division of prospective spoils and knives were drawn. At mid night a boat was lowered with the oar locks muffled and 8ent in, the yessel be: ing but a mile fram the rookery in the fog. Four other boats followed and in two hours 192 seals had been slaugh tered and brought on board the schoon er. Had the sealers been satisfied they could have escaped, but another raid was decided upon, the hoats going in the second time at 4 a. m. At 6 o'clock the fog lifted and those on board sight ed the guard coming. Warning shots were fired, but the raiders were too busy skinning seals to notice and on ly when the guards came close did they sight the nativeskThen they succeeded in getting only one boat out in which four men sought to get to the vessel. One Meada, a seaman, was shot through the breast, and died. Two others' were wounded. The body the the dead man was taken In salt to Japan and landed without knowledge of the authorities.
