Iiy a Local Business Man
In TS, the year of the great rush to
J the goldfields of Alaska, a small band
j of prospectors arrived in Resurrection
Bay. and mushed their way inland in
the search of fortune.
As this little baud wearily packed
their earthly belongings in from the
bay and over the summit, little did
| uiey dream that in a few short years u
i railway would be running over the
>ame ground they were then treading.
Ninety-eight lias gone forever, and
on the iirsi day of lSHKi we see a flour
inning town where stood the primeval
! tor, si; a standard gauge railroad when*
there was only a pack t rail. What lias
brought about this change? Who or
; what is responsible for it? There
neon - to he hut one answer- tin*
_i- t vVntral Railway.

large agricultural population. The;
climate is comparatively mild and the

St. Petersburg, Jan. 4—Admiral Ro
jestvensky has written a letter to
Novoc Vremya, which was printed to
day by permission of the minister of
the navy, saying that a British floet
was concentrated last spring at Wei
Hci-Wei to destroy the Russian fleet
in ci n Togo failed. The letter is very
ingenious and Rojestvensky takes so
much credit to himself that the unin
formed reader would almost be con
vinced that the Russian admiral was
the real victor in the great naval bat
tle of the Sea of Japan.
The British government has de
manded an explanation, which will be
made. Witte was astounded when he
saw the letter, which was published
without his knowledge.
Riga, Russia, Dec. 30—The revolu
tionists here today jxisted notices
printed in live languages advising the
inhabitants to disarm the police and
soldiers by force. The populace tore

More troops have been sent for to up
root the insurrection in Livonia.

STEUENENBERG
ASSASSINATED
■ 7 (few. to Tk* T
Boise, Idaho, Jan. 1—Delayed in
cable transmission—Former Governor
Frank Steuenenberg of this state was
assassinated by the explosion of dyna
mite bombs in his back yard at Cald
well last Saturday night as he entered
to reach his house. Wire fish lines
were used to explode the bombs by
electrica current as Gov. Steuenenberg
passed through the back gate. De
tectives have traced the line from the
gate to the spot near by where the as
sassins lay in ambush.
Shoshone county officials have offered
a reward of $10,000 for the apprehension
and conviction of the assassins. While
suspicion rests upon certain men no
tangible proof has yet been obtained.
Gov. Gooding, the present excutive
of Idaho, declares that the assassination
wus accomplished by a plot laid in the
Inner circle of Coeur d’Alene dyna
miters. When Steuenenberg was
governor of Idaho he broke up the law
less gangs which ruled the Coeur d’
Alene mining district by terrorism,
and in that way incurred their bitter
enmity. Many of the leaders were run
out of country but a majority of their
followers remained and are still work
ing in the mines there.
Caldwell, Idaho, .Ian. 3. — M. J.
Hogan was arrested today upon the
charge of complicity in tin* murder of
ex-Gov. Steuenenberg’. He lias been
partially identified as one of the men
who were confined in the bull-pen dur
ing tin* famous C<i*ur d’Alene strike
and lias been around this city for some
da\ s.
Boise. Idaho, Jan. I Police officers
here and at Caldwell believe that
Harry Orchard, or Hogan, arrested on ;
the charge of being implicated in the !
assassination of lOx-Gov. Steuenenberg j
i,\ means of dynamite bombs, is liiej
perpetrator of tin* murder, or one of
them, lie is known to have made
bombs in this city in 181)1). He was an j
active figure in the Coeur d’Alene
riots and there was known as Hogan,

The police are sweating the suspect
but so far have obtained no admissions
from him.
Denver, Jan, &— Harry Orchard, held j
at Caldwell, Idaho, upon the charge of
complicity in the murder of Kx-Gov. !
Stueuenberg with dynamite bombs, is

Albany, N. Y. Jan. t A big fight is
brewing here over a general demand
for the resignation of Chauncey M*
Depew from his seat in the U. S. Sen
ate on account of his connection with
the Kquitable insurance scandal. Sen
| ator Brackett introduced a resolution
; in ihe state senate yesterday asking
Depew to resign. After a heated de
bate Brackett was allowed to with
draw his resolution, by a vote of 27 to
19.
The vote indicates nothing because
it i-. known that several senators voted
for withdrawal who are in favor of
getting rid of Depew but thought the
time and method inopportune. Some
said they thought it inappropriate to
spring the subject on the first day of
. the session.
Wadsworth was elected speaker of
the assmhly, receiving the full Repub
: Mean vote.
Odell Candidate Beaten
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 3—James W.
Wadsworth jr., a son of Congressman
Wadsworth of this state, was nomi
nated for speaker of the New York
assembly by the Republican caucus
I last night. He was hacked by Presi
dent Roosevelt, Gov. Higgins and
Senator Platt. The Odell machine
behind Merritt tried to have a secret
ballot, which would probably have
elected their man, but they failed.
Wadsworth received 75 of the 114
votes cast. Merritt had 14 and J. W.
j Wainwright 15.

ff PREDICTS
BUSINESS PANIC
New York, Jan. 5 Jacob II. SchilT
in a speech last night predicted that a
tremendous financial panic will soon
sweep over the country unless Con
gress makes certain reforms in the
currency. lie opposed Secretary
Shaw’s plans for expansion of the bank
currency but said that the currency
i
must be kept in circulation and con
centrated where it is most needed.
This is understood as a bid for relief
for the stock market by the secretary j
of the treasury through the deposit of
large reserve funds in the New York
depositary banks. The speech has
hurt the market and many securities !
were lower today.
The lead production of the world
last year was 981,100 tons.
