Against Treatment At Washington,
House Is Too Exclusive,
Washington, Jan. 7—Delegate
Waskey is greatly disppointed over
the treatment he is receiving at
the national capital. There is lit*
tie probability of his being ap
pointed on any committees, and as
a consequence the prospect of his
getting Alaskan legislation through
is poor. He says that he finds
Congress too exclusive a hody to
suit him. The reason advanced for
Waskey being slighted is a feeling
against him on the part of Speaker
Cannon. The Utter has received
/
conies of an interview with Was*
key in Seattle, in which he said
that he would have a heart to
heart talk with Cannon, and this
is believed to have offended the
speaker. The only interview the
delegate has had with Cannon was
when be asked for an appointment
on a committee, which Cannon
promised to give him, hut the ap
pointment was never made.

toatejm Damage*.
The Jeanie came in about ten
o’clock Saturday evening, while
the Saratoga was tied up to the
wharf and through aome miscalcu
lation on the part of the pilot,
who was on the bridge at the time,
struck the Saratoga amidship. The
sharp bow of the Jeanie carved
through the side of the other boat,
cutting a large hole in the upper
deck and smashing a life boat.
The Jeanie ras but slightly dam
aged and no one wai injured. The
captain of the Jeanie was lying
down when the accident occured.
and the boat was in charge of
Pilot Holstrom, formerly captain
of the small steamer Toledo.
Some temporary repairs were
made to the Saratoga and she left
for the South at the scheduled
time. Agent Hush estimates the
damage to the vessel at about
$5,000.
