Personal Hearing.
The Tacoma Ledger, under date
of March Id, says;
"The senate judiciary committee
to-day decided to take no action on
the nomination of Judge Janies
Wickersham, of Alaska. He will
not l>e continual because 6f the
charges pending against him. but
it is expected the president will re
ap|«>int him when the senate ad
journs. This will make it neces
rary to carrv out the original plan
of the senate committee, namely,
to call W ickersham to Washington
next winter that he may person
ally answer all pending charges.
If bis answers are satisfactory be
will ultimately lie confirmed, other
wise the president will probably
apfsiint some one else to the otlice.”

Annex To Washington
S une of tin- people of Southeast
ern Alaska have a new reined v for
Ala-kan government ills. Tliey
propose to a-1, congress to annex
their section of the district, the
panhandle, to the slate of Wash
ington The failure of congress
to give Alaska m elective delegate
iii eoiiLii -s, and the development
of tile fact ilia; there i« a strong
faction in the I ;iitimI S'an - Senate
ti.a' - oppose.i t]„. idea oi ever
making a state of ihi> district, or
any portion of it, are gaining ad
hereliis for the proposition. There
ar. several inllu n'.ia! Skagivayans
considering it. i
Those who favor the annexation
plan assign two pa-mis why-uch
would lie a desirable -ol irion of the
proh'em that confronts iliis Suc
tion oi Alaska
First, tin y point to the declara
nt t ion of Senator Piatt that he is
onulterahly opposed to the ercation,
now or at any time in the future,
oi any states from non-contiguous
territory, including Alaska, and
the support that idea is receiving
from Senator Spooner and others.
The seeon l contention is that
South*astern Alaska is not so
closely connected with other por
tions of the district as it is with
Puget Sound.
It is admitted that it is only a
•pitslion of time until there will
lie two or mere railroads between
the Gulf of Alaska and the Yukon.
Then Southeastern Ylaska will he
cut off more than ever from the re
mainder of the district. It is lie
cause of this condition that many
people have advocated that the
panhandle of Alaska he made a
territory by itself.
Myers In Trouble
Thu rep >r; readied town yester
day that 11 r nan Myers, the man
ager of ' lie N.zina Trading Co., had
trouble with one of the men em
ployed in taking his outfit to Chili
tu. which resulted in one Kdward
Summers getting tangled up with
anatomy to such an extent that
Myers looked as though he had
lieen carrying on a series of expert
inents with tin- proverbial Missouri
mule and had drawn down second
money.
This morning a ratification
meeting was held in Valdez and
resolutions expressing gratitude to
Summers were drawn up. Lack of
space prevents publishing the reso
lutions.
