HE IA To STAY.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 80 (Specinl Governor
Swineford, of Alaska, is talking about resigning.
He came here several days ago, with view to Sc
curing certain legislation for the Territory, which
he says Is much needed In the event Of his not
getting what he wants, and he will be able To de-
termine this within week or so, he says he Will
offer his resignation. Since the Governor went
to Alaska, he has dabbled somewhat in mining
properties which have turned out well, and in case
he should resign IL would be to return to Alaska
and take up the active management of one of the
mines This, he says, Will pay better than being
Governor OF Territory which is without laws,
ana winch has to send its Governor to Washing
ton to do its lobbying.
The reforms which Governor Swineford is en-
deaVorlng TO secure and on which his resigna-
hon hangs, are those relative to lands. At pres
ent the Federal land laws do not extend TO Alaska
and the Governor complains that Il is impossible

TIE CONTESTED SEAT FROM ILLINOIS.
WASHINGTON Jan. 80 Special The House
Committee on Elections to-day heard arguments
In the contested election case of WOrthington
against Post Of the Xth Illinois District Gen
era Post appeared In his own behalf and
followed the side by his counsel, Mr.
Bancroft, of Galesburg, Illinois, who ds>ccted the
testimony and showed that, allowing every posi-
bic claim which can be allowed in Worthington's
behalf Post has clear ma Ority Of more than
20 votes, providing the statutes Of Illinois and
repeated decisions of the Supreme Court Of that
State obs rived and respect d. The peri GUS
feature of the case, far as the sitting member,
who is a Republican, is concerned is his small
plurality Of 30 votes, and il is upon that feature
that Worthington bases his confidence OF success,
which appears to be great. The returns OF the
elections in the Xth District for series of years
show that the Republicans have been steadily
gaming, while the Democrats have as steadily lost
ground but the majority Of the Elections Com
mittee is composed of strict partisans. They call
D decision bipartisan when one or two Republi-
car members oi The committee agree with them,
and That seems to be the only sort Of partisan

THE NEW DEPOT.
The. Prospects'of an Early Start on
Its Erection.

That Ogden will get the Union Depot
there can now be no question whatever
in the mind of anyone who will take
the trouble to inquire. Each day de-
velops new facts in connection with n
subject, which go to show that work
will soon, very soon, be commenced on
the structure, which above all others
will give an impetus to Ogden's inter-
ests, and serve to spread Ogden's fame
as the commercial centre of the great
western interior. Yesterday, In CONVEX
sation with q gentleman directly en-
gagged and Interested in the matter IN
pecunlary sense, we were informed that
he would be willing to stake any sum
that work on the foundation would
actually be commenced within four
teen days, and he was OF the
opinion that it would indirectly
result in enhancing the value OF Ogden

tons on the building were COM
menced.

Mr.. Rolf also vouchsafed the informa

the beginning of next week, under the
direction of Patterson g. Bowman, who
as we have previously reported, have
received the contract for graveling and
grading.
