Plot to Take President Cabru
eaifs Life Results in Slight
Wound in Hand.
jy CaMo to Tbe Dally Gateway.
San Francisco, April 21—A message
received here from Guatatnala brings
informal ion of a desperate attempt to
assassinate President Cabrueau.
There was a skirmish in which many
shots were fired, but most of them
went wide of the mark. One shot only
struck the president in the hand. The
police became immediately active and
have made scores of arrests.
Will Await Titles to Coal Lands
E. C. Hawkins, chief engineer of the
Copper liiver & Northwestern railway
says:
“The company is ready to build the
railroad to the Bering Lake coal fields
from Catalla,” said Mr. Hawkins, “as
soon as our people can acquire title to
the coal lands and be in a position to
ship their product. We have material
already on the ground, and once the
question of title to the coal properties
U settled we shall push the work.
“Alaska is not like one of the states
which has a large delegation in con
gress to look out for its interests. Lo
make it possible to develop tbe prop
erties will require considerable push
ing by the people on the Pacific coast
who will he benefited. W e have sus
pended no railroad work except at
Catalla, and this was solely because
ihe title to the coal lands was in sus

ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATION

Bomb Exploded on Porch With
the Intent to Kill Gallagher
Wrecks the Mouse.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Oakland, Cal., April 23—An attempt!
was made last night to assassinate i
Gallagher on account of the testimony |
he gave in the Ford trial. The at- j
tempt was made at the home of his
brother-in-law. A bomb was exploded :
on the front porch. The explosion;
tore the house to pieces, but the in-|
mates escaped serious injuries. 1 bus
far no clew has been obtained to the j
perpetrators of the deed.
Rustling to the Susitna
The Susitna country, it is believed,
will claim the largest quota of the
Alaska stampeders this summer, with
Valdez creek as the center of interest.
The first big pay was taken out late
last fall, and last December Pete
Moynahan reached the coast with
$125,000, which represented twenty
eight days’ washing on Tammany
bench. Ilis party also brought the
news that Dan Kane on Lucky Gulch,
with one inch of water in the sluice
boxes, averaged $1,000 a day to the
man.
This news first reached Fairbanks
and as early as November IS more than
100 outfits were assembled in Fair
banks awaiting the first snow, ready
to mush on to Valdez creek. The first
of this year 200 men scaled the big
glacier back of Valdez and in the face
of a blizzard started on the long march
to the Susitna.
On March 12 the report of a third
strike on Valdez creek reached the
coast and on that date 100 men with
forty horses sledding freight, together
with a number of dog teams, left Val
dez for the new diggings, and two
days later another party nearly as,
large as that of the 12th, left over thej
same route preceded by a snowplow.
This last party took in two hydra u
licking plants, a stock ol general mer
chandise, two saloon out tits and a
piano.
On March U a party of sixty men
left Gulkana for Valdez creek.
Many of the stampeders are waiting
in Seattle and the Prince William
sound towns for the ice to go out of
the Susitna river, and it is expected
that the big rush will go in by the
river route in May.
Last summer Henry Anderson
reached Portage on the Susitna with j
an eighteen-inch draught boat. Sev
eral boats are now in readiness to
make the river run in May. Landing
at Portage the cross-country’ pack is
about thirty-live miles.
Lust December six men were on
Valdez creek. There are more than1
lino men on the diggings up to date,
and as many more will reach there in
May.
The Valdez t 're k Mining Gompain, :
Seattle, have a party of twerty-live
men leaving on April 10, and will send'
in a second party in June. Seattle,1

Citizens’ Rights in Peril
Thousands of persons who have be
lieved themselves for years to be citi
zen* of the United Slates, who have
sat on juries, acquired homesteads, ex
ercised the rights of franchise, paid
their taxes and carried themselves as
loyal members of the communities in
which they live, are threatened with
annulment of their certificates of natu
ralization because they declared their
intention of becoming citizens before
reaching the age of 21. Deputy Unit
ed States Attorney Andrew J. Balliet
filed complaints against three men in
the federal court this morning who,
he says in perfect good faith declared
their intention to become citizens be
fore reaching the statutory age.
Mr. Balliet declared that if the
courts decided that these men are not
citizens the effect will be incalculable,
providing the government goes to the
trouble of looking up all the cases of a
like nature in the United States. Me
says all the homestead rights that had
been acquired under the impression
that they are citizens will be annulled.
