ONLY PROTECTED LADY
CHRISTIANA, Norway. July
2-.—Secretary Gunther of the
l’nite<l States legation issued a
statement today in answer t • the
demand made by the newspapers
for his recall by the American
government. In this statement
he denies that he assaulted the
harbor master and he turther de
clares that any trouble caused at
all was caused by his ties ire to
P'vtect an invalid lady whose
comfort was threatened by the
official's actions.
The newspapers, however, still
continue to demand that Gunther
be called home but the govern
icut has not yet taken any offi
cial notice of the clamor. The
secretary will, no doubt, receive
from Washington an official com
munication asking him to explain
his conduct. Whether he is right
or not it is considered likely that
he will lose his post as the agita
tion is too strong against him to
permit him tc stay without being
an offense to the people among
whom he is stationed.

Major E. 11. French Once More In
Harness in the Alaska Mining
World
Major E. H. French will leave for
Sunrise tomorrow to enter into the
j work arising from the recent deals
made there by himself and Charles E.
Herron. The major will be accom
i panicd by Paddy F. Cummings and
Frank Reese. Mr. Herron went out
! on the Northwestern this morning but
will return soon.
When asked this morning if he
wished to tell where he is going and
what he intended to do the major told
the questioner just to mention it in
I one line that he was going.
-That’s all.” he said. MWno the
! deuce cares whether I am going or
not”.
But the re-entry of Major French
into the life of Alaska is an item of
news that will be read with interest
from his old friend Governor Strong s
residence in Juneau to far olf Reward
peninsula. In the old days he was
probably the most widely known pri
vate individual in all Alaska. To him
;>nd the late Dr. Whitehead of Nome
was due the building of the Seward
Peninsular railroad to the Kougarok
and the major individually has been
the moving spirit in other large en
terprises. He has also written a most
interesting work about that part >f
the territory and no less a writer than
Rex Beach has written the foreword
to it.
In writing about Major h re neb,
Beach has said so many nice things
that one could hardly repeat them :n

Fairbanks—Ben Howland, formerly
engineer of the steamer Mabel, sui
cided here Thursday by taking poison.
Howland went to the cabin occupied
by the nurses of St. Matthew’s hos
pital, with one of whom. Miss Bar
bara O’Connor, he was infatuated. He
lomanded that she marry him, and on
ler refusal to do so. he threatened
shoot her. Instead of carrying out
his threat, Howland drew a bottle of
poison from his pocket and swallow
ed the contents. He fell to the floor
in agony, and a physician was at once
summoned, but Howland was beyond
| help and died a few minutes later.
The victim had been out of employ
ment for some time, ard was despon
dent over his failure to secure em
ployment, and brooding over the fact,
it is said by his friends, unsettled his
mind.

HUNDREDS OE THOUSANDS
CHARGED BY THE COSSACKS
ST. PETERSBURG, July 22.-Thc
capital of the Russian empire is now a
scene of the fiercest rioting ever seen,
perhaps, in any great capital in modern
times since the French'revolution.
The rioters increased to fully two
hundred thousand men today and suc
ceeded in completely destroying every
semblance of law and order in the
streets. Marching in serried ranks the
huge mob stopped all the street cars
and wrecked a railroad train driving
ths passengers before them in terror.
Knowing that these acts are nothing
short of revolutionary the horde then
began barricading the streets to pre
pare for the expected charge of the
Cossacks who had been ordered out of
barracks as the police and gendarmerie
were found inadequate.
Soon came the moment when the
dreaded Cossacks received the order to
charge on the crowds and then came
one of those scenes which could be
equalled in no capital ol the world ex
cept this alone. By the time the Cos
sacks rode down the crowd had separ
ated into several mobs and while one
body of rioters was receiving the brunt
of the armed attack the other re-mobo
lized and the lighting is still going on
liercely throughout the streets.
The soldiers were unable to dislodge
the mobs from some of the barricades
but in other places thousands of men.
were made to flee before the horsemen
through some of the beautiful thor
oughfares.
The whole riot began when the work
ers of the capital met to demonstrate in
sympathy with the strikers of the
Baku province against whom severe
measures were adopted by the authori
ties. This demonstration promises
now to develop into an upheaval.
POLITICS GET
GOING STRONG
democrats all oyer the
l ERRITORY FOCI’S THEIR
EYES ON SKAGWAY
CONVENTION
From all quarters of the territory
,omo reports of great activity in
Democratic circles and Ska gw ay is
now the sacred city towards which the
. of all true believers are directed.
The primaries have not been held in
Juneau but will take place there the
day after tomorrow, July 25, and
from that time forward the real mar
-euvres will begin.
In addition to Joslii. and Burns,
George Grigsby is now mentioned a:
a likely candidate. Grigsby was for
merly district attorney at Nome un
ler the Republican administration bn1
f»«r a dispute with that party which
caused his separation from the office
entered into the Democratic ranks
and has been one of the most strenu
ous members of the party and organi
a .i >n for s >me year s He w'as a can
didate for the district judgeship last
year and afterwards was candidate
for the commissionership at Nome
hut an outside judge was sent in and
this outside judge being opposed by
Grigsby as well as by the other reg
ular Democrats, or most of them,
G: ij shy received no office. As a sort
of protest, no doubt, against the pol
icy of appointing outsiders Nome
•let ted Grigsby its mayor this spring
and his candidacy for delegate can
certainly be taken as a ^further pro
test. Grigsby is able and very popu
lar on Seward peninsula and w ith the
olid support of the Nome delegation
he will put up a good fight against
Rums and Joslin. With three such
candidates Skagway ought to see the
greatest political convention ever liebi
in the territory.
The following dispatch from Nome
shows how the Democrats stand
there:
The name of Mayor oeorge *».
Grigsby, of Nome, will be presented
to the Democratic convention at
Skagway as the candidate of this sec
tion for the Democratic nomination
as delegate to congress. He will at
least be given a complimentary vote
by the solid Seward peninsula delega
tion
A majority of the proxies from this
place have been sent to J. H. Guffey,
now at Juneau.
Rev. Guy D. Christian also has been
given some of the proxies.
Proxies have also been sent to
Judge R. W. Jennings and J. H. Cobb
of Juneau.”
Governor Strong and Judge Jen
nings were strong supporters of
Grigsby when he was a candidate for
office.
Skagway and Cordova have in
strutted their delegates for Joslin and
Fairbanks may be expected to go
solid for Burns who is very popular
in that division. The primaries in
this division have about all elected
uninsulated delegates. Juneau’s
choice, if any, will not be known un
til Saturday but on that choice, peo
ple, will depend a great deal. You
watch.
In the Juneau deliberations will be
either the silent or outspoken voices
of Governor Strong, Judge Jennings,
Committeeman Cheney, Secretary
Davidson and others of the big guns.
The chances are that they have wait
ed to see what way the wind would
blow over the territory before letting
the capital take the great step.
At tin* Fairbanks primaries such
men were elected delegates as Mar
tin Harrais, Dan Callahan, E. VY
Griffin and R. F. Roth. In the last
election Griffin was the chief support
er of Harrais and Callahan was sup
porter of Jennings. Callahan, by the
way, has now announced his candi
dacy for the territorial senate. He is
a member of the city council and is
known all over Alaska as “The Big
Chief”. He is also prominent as a
foe of the present United States mar
shal of that division, Judge Erwin.

FORMER LIEUTENANT GOVER
NOR OF IDAHO TELLS DER
ICK LANE WE HAVE
MANY FRIENDS
In a letter received today by Derick
Lane from Joseph H. Hutchinson,
former lieutenant governor of Idaho,
it is stated that Seward has many
strong boosters in San Francisco
where Governor Hutchinson is now
living.
The former governor is an old
friend of Mr. Lane and to show him
how friendly he and his friends are to
this city he states that the San Fran
cisco Alaska club and chamber of
commerce are doing their best to get
e big Victoria excursion to come to
Seward before going to Nome. Ad
vertisements for the excursion are
now running in the Examiner, the
Chronicle, the Call and the Commer
cial News of that city, the object be
ing, Mr. Hutchinson says, to get as
many San Franciscans as possible to
go to Seward. A copy of the ad i*
enclosed in the letter.
Mr. Hutchinson was lieutenant gov
ernor of Idaho when Governor Steun
en' erg was murdered. He concludes
his letter with the words:
“You can tell the gang that Seward
has some real boosters here”.

REPUBLICANS
NOT TO MEET
HERRON AND THE REST SAID
TO OPPOSE PUTTING UP
CANDIDATE
^ _
That the Republicans of the terri
tory will not call a convention this
year and will, therefore, not have a
candidate for congress is said to be
the result of the feelers which hav<*
been thrown out by Charles PL Her
ron, the chairman of the territorial
committee.
There was a meeting held here in
Seward last evening at which Mr.
Herron was present. Present at it al
so were such representative republi
cans as Leroy Tozier, Ed Whittle
more, Frank Youngs and others. None
of them has given out any informa
tion of a definite kind but from a
good source enough has been learned
to make it safe to say, perhaps, that
Mr. Herron decided to send out to the
different Republican organizations a
suggestion at least that no convention
be held and that no candidate be pi t
forward, but that the district com
mitteemen of each district meet a vl
formulate such plans as they might,
deem advisable, especially in connec
tion with the elections for the l^cal
legislature. This ;s not dl'cially
known at present but it is almost
surely a fact.

ULSTER STILL
RAISING CAIN
! KING’S CONFERENCE GOING ON
BUT AGREEMENT IS BE
LIEVED IMPROBABLE
LONDON, July 22.—The con
ference called by King George to
discuss the Irish Home Rule
question with a view to reaching
a settlement is still going on but
fears are entertained that no
agreement will be arrived at. Sir
Edward Carson still demands the
exclusion of Ulster but John
Redmond refuses to give way one
inch from the stand taken by him
before. This makes it look like a
deadlock and the old fear is
again arising that Ireland can
not avoid bloodshed.
The Nationalist volunteer army
is growing at a tremendous pace
and a quarter of a million men
have now been enrolled and are
being trained to resist any at
tempt to have Home Rule snatch
ed away once again. It is either
a peaceful settlement by the
king’s conference which is now in
session or fighting in I reland
greater than since tho rebellion
of 1708.
Asquith, Lloyd George and
their colleagues are standing by
Redmond’s party as strongly as
ever and will give away nothing
that Redmond is not willing to
lose. The result of the confer
ence is being awaited with in
tense anxiety and the king him
self has gone through it deeper
into politics than any other Brit
ish ruler since the Georges.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
Cordova—At the Democratic pri
maries held in the city hall last Mon
day evening seven delegates to the
Territorial convention at Skagway
were elected. They are: W. W. Coun
cil, E. F. Medley, C. P. Mickelson,
Thos. C. Price, C. It. Scheffler, James
Smith and A. N. Hayes. The dele
gates were instructed by the caucus
to use every legitimate means to se
cure at the Skagway convention the
nomination of Falcon Joslin for dele
gate to congress from Alaska, and
either in person or by proxy will work
to this end.
Prior to the primary a meeting of
the Democratic club v as held in th•>
city hall, and the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That the Democratic club
of Cordova does hereby declare itself
as strongly favorable to the nomina
tion of Falcon Joslin as a candidate
for delegate to congress, and further
more request and strongly urge the
delegates to be elected from the Cor
dova district to the Democratic Ter

partner, returning from the Chisana
found near King City, below Chisana,
the overturned boat of Ronald Morri
son, who had started from the dig
gings for Fairbanks. A search was
made for Morrison but no trace of
him could he found, and it is gener
ally believed that he met a mishap on
the way out and was drowned. No
one appears to have seen Morrison
after he left camp and his friends
here have little hope that he escaped
death in the swift current of the river.
Cordova, July 18.—Dr. Hamilton of

Hamilton’s condition was serious, and
he at once left for Chitina, but on ar
rival found that the man’s condition
was such that an operation was not
advisable.

VANCOUVER, B. July 22.—Th<

the men who seized the ship have
agreed to return home.
The scenes which accompanied the
seizure of the Japanese liner and
those subsequent to the seizure have
been unparalelled since the Chinese

that bloodshed was unavoidable. The
British cruiser Rainbow stood by al1

on the part of the mutineers but none
was offered and negotiations were
carried on all day. The Hindus in
