Shipoff Hay Head Cabinet
St. Petersburg. July 14 -The czar |
today offered the premiership to)
Dmitri Shipoff. One reason for the)
choice is the fact that Shipoff is not aj

Ik composed of constitutionalists.

the czar is alw.)Ut to recede from the
announced jwlicy of allowing them to
organize t he cabinet.
Police (io Out on Strike
St. Petersburg. July Is Police offi
cers of this city struck yesterday be
cause their salaries were not paid and
because their savings fund is unac
counted for. They refused to obey
orders of the police captains or to go
! out on their beats. Gendarmes were
called out and surrounded the police
and threatened them with arrest hut
without effect. It is feared that the
revolutionary party will take advan
tage of the disorganization of the po
I lice force to stir up an insurrection.
Peasants Burn Twenty Estates
Bournow July Is Peasants in tin*
province of Voronozh rose to a man
yesterday and applied the torch to
twenty estates. Severn' land-owners
were murdered and the survivors tied
terror-stricken to this city for refuge.
The governor of the province lias gone
with Cossacks to the scene of the
trouble, but >o far has been unable to

tinue to ravage over a wide area
which the troops are unable to cover.
Russian Assassins Busy
st. Petersburg. July 19 An attempt
was made today to assassinate Count

| at Thera. The bullet grazed the
count's head but inflicted no injury.
The terrorist escaped. Troops of the
j Zenianovsky guard served notice to
| day on Col. Minn that they intend to

I them to kill soldiers who participated
in the Moscow revolt.
Parliament Offers Excuse
St. Petersburg, July 20 Parliament
adopted an address to the people today
offering reasons for delay in the enact
• rnent of agrarian legislation. The
peasantry is urged to refrain from
i disorder and excesses of any kind un
til parliament can reach a determina
tion of agrarian measures.
The peasant members refused to
vote upon the adoption of the address
because several revolutionary para
graphs were stricken from the origi
nal draft. The government predicts
; that the document will inflame the
| revolutionary elements.

veutiou on a telegraphic proxy from

selection of a new committee but was
given only a short hearing.
Expected Shoup
Juneau, July lb Indications point to
the nomination of V. S. Marshal James
M. Shoup for delegate to congress by
the Republican territorial convention,
for the long term and possibly for the
short term also, if he is not nomi
nated for the short term that place
will probably go to C. D. Murane of
Nome.
The status of the tight for delegate
hinges to a great extent upon the de
termination of the contest for the dele
gations from Seward peninsula. Mu
rane and Richard S. Ryan each bold
proxies for contesting delegations from
the Second district.
The convention met Saturday morn
ing and effected a temporary organiza
tion, with George Irving of Ketchikan
as chairman and John McLaughlin of
Juneau ;is secretary, and then adjourn
ed until I o'clock iu the afternoon to
await the arrival of the steamer City
of Seattle with a large number of
delegates.
rjHin reconvening committees were
named as follows: Credentials 1\ A.

Ryan Men Start Fight
The first brush came on a motion
from the Ryan forces to adjourn be
fore the appointment of a committee
on credentials, and to allow the terri
torial committee to pass on the creden
tials of delegates. This was voted
down and the convention after the ap
pointment of committees adjourned
until S o’clock in tin- evening.
In the evening the credentials
i committee stated that it was
not yet Jready to report and the
| convention adjourned until Monday
morning. Richard S. Ryan claimed
recognition for proxies from Seward
peninsula brought down bv W. H.
Bard, who was unable to leave Seattle
and turned them over to Ryan. Mu
i nine offered a contest and this de
tained the committee, which is favor
able to seating the Murane crowd.
The Ryan delegation is not favored
because the convention is for Shoup.
Seward and Valdez are fully repre
sented but it is uncertain where they
will line up. Tanana was not repre
sented at all at the first sessions of the
' convention but a partial representa
tion came in later. They are for
Shoup. Murane will support Shoup
! if the latter is nominated but Ryan is
is expected to bolt.
EXPECTS TO CONVICT
STANDARD OIL CROWD
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Cleveland. July IT Attorney-Gener
al Moody, after listening to the testi
mony accumulated by his subordinates,
expresses the belief that it is sufficient
to convict Standard Oil officials of
compelling railroads to give rebates to
the company. George Grammer, one
of the vice presidents of the Lake
Shore, in consideration of immunity
for himself, has agreed to forge a
chain of evidence around the Standard
j Oil officials.
The recount of votes for sherftT of
Multnomah county, Oregon, (Portland)
gave a majority of 25 to Stevens, the
Republican nominee, over Sheriff
Word, instead of 5, as shown by the
count of the election boards. The
gains and losses see-sawed and almost
balanced until precinct 88 was reached,
where it was found that a mistake of
15 votes had been made in favor of
Word. _
The grand jury at San Francisco
which investigated earthquake and tire
troubles, roasted the Western Union,
charging it with receiving money for
messages which it made no attempt to
deliver. No such charge was made
against the Postal Telegraph.
••Roughly speaking.” says Hixon,

BLOCKS 3 AND 10
TO HAVE SEWER
Property Owners Raise Funds
Needed and Decide To Award
Contract.
Plans fop the construction of a sewer
through the alley between blocks 3
and 10 of t he townsite, from Adams
street to the bay, between Third and
Fourth avenues, were agreed upon at
a meeting of the chamber of commerce
and tiie property owners interested, in
the Kenai club rooms this week.
The committee appointed to raise
funds reported that nearly all the
property owners involved had agreed
to the proposed amount of subscription
■ which is alyout $30 per lot. The
owners of several lots bordering upon
the proposed line live in the states and
they have not been heard from, but
nearly all the resident lot owners have
agreed to subscribe. A committee of
three was appointed to have charge of
the sewer construction. P. W. Sny
der, F. L. Ballaine and C. K. Brown
compose the committee.
As soon as specifications can lye pre
pared the committee will advertise
for bids on three kinds of mains,—vitri
lied iron pipe, wrought sheet steel and
I plank. If the sewer is of metal the
mains are to be 8-inch. If of wood
| they are to be 10-inch. Bids are to lie
! in by July 25, at which date another
, meeting will be held to award a con
I tract. _______

Make New Alloy
Two parts of aluminum and one part
of zinc form an alloy to which has been
given the name •‘alzene.’’ It is equal
in strength to good cast iron anil
superior to it in the matter of elastic
! limit. It takes a line, smooth finish
and does not readily oxidize. The
color is silver white. It melts at a low
red heat and is very fluid, running
freely to the extremities of the mold
and filling small or thin parts. Great
care must be exercised in melting it.
i particularly when mixing the two
metals, in order to preserve its smooth
working qualities. It is somewhat
brittle and hence unsuited to such
pieces as require the toughness
possessed by brass. The tensile
strength is approximately 22,000 lb.
per sq. in. and 3.3 is the specific
gravity.—Engineering News.
Production of Platinum
The world’s supply of platinum dur
ing the year 1004 was about 13.S00
pounds. 13,200 pounds of which came
from Russia. The United States pro
duced 200 ounces, valued at $4,160. All
of this came from California and Ore
gon, the Wyoming mine having sus
pended operations. The price of plati
num increased 10 per cent, during the
year. According to Dr. David T.
Day. of the United States geological
survey, the outlook for an increased
production during 1906 is good. The
present price of platinum, $20.50 an
ounce, is the highest which this metal
has reached in recent years.
To Make Powder In Tacoma
The Dupont Powder Company has
established headquarters in Tacoma
having secured a harbor frontage of
1,485 feet for shipping facilities. This
company has secured 2,700 acres of
of land at the mouth of the Nisqually
river, where active construction work
will begin early in July. The ground
cost $87,000. On this site the Dupont
Company will establish the largest
powder factory in the country.
A Great Gem Mine
The sapphire workings at Yogo
gulch, Montana, are being gradually
developed into a great and permanent
industry. The Yogo dike is perhaps
the greatest gem mine in the world.
It is four miles long. It is estimated
that the workable sapphire-bearing
rock would approximate 10,000,000
cubic yards.
All of the ground that lies between
the southern boundary line of the
Nome townsite and low tide on Bering
sea has been staked for mineral pur
poses.
