The tickets to the Commercial Con
gress to be given on the 20th Inst, by
the chamber of Commerce are now on
sale and are decidedly alliterative.
They are called “portal passports” and
speak of "eats ecstatic, drinks deli -

wlieless wisdom, mellifluous music
j and melody."
The chamber of commerce has re
ceived a letter from Qovenor Strang
relative to the proposed home for aged
prospectors at Kruzgamepa Hot
Springs. He writes that tne maUer
will be brought before the next meet- i
ing of the commission which consists
of the Delegate, Governor and Secre

The funeral of the late Mrs. Dav
ison at the Congregational church
this alfernoon was attended by a
large number of sympathetic people
despite the Inclement weather. The
coffin with the remains was borne on
a sleigh from the undertaking par
lors. A cortege of mourners on foot
followed the body to the church. The
funeral services Were conducted by
the Kev. John Parsons who read a
brief obituary, offered prayer, and
delivered an appropriate address. <
Music was provided by Mrs. Potent
und Miss Bertha Johnson who sang
"Pome Day the Stiver Cloud Will
Break,” and “Beautiful Isle of Some
where.” Mrs. Henry Burgh pres 4ed
a- the organ and besides accompany
ing the singers, rendered ailing pro
gu&sionul and recesslonul music. The
funeral was very sad and impressive.
District Clerk Adams has received of
ticial returns from the Utica precinct
which in so far as the tigures for
delegate and tor Corrigan and Heed
are concerned are not different from
the unofficial returns announced
same time since. The receipt of these
returns, and the tigures, has been
made known to the cunvusslng board
u> Juneau by wire. This may put u
new compaction on the delegate con
test but there are still irregularities
which will have to be pased on in
the matter of the Utica vote. The
official ballot did not arrive there und
so could not be used. The law pro
vides for such cases and says that a
special report shall be made out ex
plaining the circumstances. This re
port has not been Bent so far as Is
known. The vole of Deenng is liable
to be thrown out for the sume rea
son. The significance of the official
returns from Utica is that If this vote
is counted It will mean the elec'ion
of Corrigan over Used us representa
tive and It will give 13 votes to
W’ickesham and only 4 to Sulzar.

PLAN IN CONFERENCE
AS TO FUTURE COURSE

International Now* So.-vice.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—This city has
become the rallying point for repre
sentatives of the railway brother
hoods who arc gathered here today
in force. Over six hundred delegates
ure present at the conference.
Two main questions are to be dis
cussed by the members of the con
ference. The most important refers
.I* the future action of the brother
hood trainmen in case the Adamson
luw, which Is ,iaw under cons.deratlon
lily the supreme court arguments hav
ing been heard, should be decided
unconstitutional. In the event of this
uulcome the trainmen will be no bet
ter off than they were last August
when their threatened strike was
postponed because of the passage of
the law.
The other matter to be taken up is
the bill now before congress to en
force arbitration In labor disputes.
The brotherhood leaders want to de
iome way to prevent the passage
of this law as It will put a stop to
all future successful onons on Uie
part of labor to better Its condition,
aecuruing to the leaders' view.
