GRAND RALLY AT WICHITA.

L. 4. Polk, Jerry Simpson, Mrs. M. IL.
Lease Bnd w. HI. Utley, sePtsmber 10
and 10.
Senator PETER and each Alliance Con-
gressman have been invited to be present.
We learn from reform papers and
other sources that the Alliance camp
meetings in the south are calling to-
gether some of the largest gatherings
ever known In the southern states, and
that our speakers of the north are being
received with open arms by our brothers
there. It Is we'll that we, the Alliance
men and women Of Kansas, begin to pre-
pare ourselves for the great two days
meeting at Wichita, September 10 and
16, which is to be addressed by our
brothers from the south. We want to
show them that we, too, are In earnest,
and that our Alliance picnics of last year
were but fore-runners Of the outpOuring
of the people who will attend the eight
great camp meetings to be held In Kan
sas this year. 1t was said that Wichita
had the largest meeting In the state last
year. AS we are to represent the eight
Congressional districts at large, we ex-
pect to have q much larger one this year.
The committee has secured one and one
third rates for all points within fifty
miles of Wichita, on all roads entering
the city; they are working hard to secure
one fare rate for the entire state. While
we do not expect to have parade like
we did last year, each sub-Alllance will
use their own judgment about coming in
a body. Let each Alliance man wear his
badge, bring all your song books, come
prepared to stay the two days. Riverside

Thursday from San Francisco, under
charter to the Slade Lumber Company
The Cosmopolis was formerly on this
route, and is being tried by another COM
pAny, who desire to get prompt shipment
of lumber from Aberdeen to San Fran

having better accommodations and more
power than the steamers now on the route
She brings full load of merchandise for
Aberdeen, and will no doubt Ind pront-
able business.
Nine ships are now loading lumber in
the harbor, two at Hoquiam and seven at
Aberdeen.
The brig Tanner is laid up here for re-
pairs, having met with rough treatment in
the storm of Christmas week Her cap

claims he sailed through the center of a
cyclone. After passing through what
promised to be the liveliest storm he had
met on the high seas, the barometer going
up and down like mad, and behaving in
before-unheard-o way, almost suddenly
the ship emerged into smooth and calm
place on the sea. with the roaring storm all
around, and bowling in a fearful way.
Soon she seemed to enter the inner edge of
the cyclone again and was blown on her

PORT ANGELES NEWS.
Bonds Voted for County Roads-Coal
Bunkers Would Paw.

PoRT ANGELES. Jan. Especial. THE
question of bonding the county for $780,
600 for building roads was carried and
with votes to spare. Dungeness and Port
Crescent went almost solidly against it,
but their votes were Offset by Port Angeles
and the Quillayute valley people.
Port Angeles offers splendid field for
some enterprising men who will come here
and establish coal bunkers Coal can be
brought here cheaply from Nanaino, and
if We had extensive bunkers every tug on
the Sound would coal up here. AS coal
has been found all around here, it would
not be long before the bunkers could sup
ply home coal There is no reason why
all coast and foreign bound coal should
not be handled at this point.
Our schools are turning away about ten
scholars every week. Every seat now is
occupied by three scholars The school
bonds were sold last Saturday and two
new buildings will be put up at once. They
will be ready for use by the spring term
If congress does not soon do something
about opening up the townsite reservation,
there is going to be trouble. The people
are coming in so fast that they are begin

Thus far nothing serious has happened,
but every contested case has been adjusted

SAN FRAScIsco, Jan. g. The signal SER
vice says: The entire country from Mex-
leo TO British Columbia comprises an area
of high barometric pressure generally
above normal. The development and
movements of this high area have been
rather peculiar. After the disappearance
of TIE barometer trough of December 80
last, the area of high pressure shifted from
Northern Nevada 10 Central California.
where il remained for nearly week and
gave rise to southerly winds over North
ern California, attended by threatening
and rainy weather, with occasional heavy
showers, turning snow in the mountains.
Under such circumstances as these occur
red the rather unusual result of general
precipitation within the area, of high
barometic pressure IN other words, high
barometer storm.
This storm was terminated by the high
area moving northward from Central Cali
f0rnia TO Northwestern Oregon. In this
movement the winds in Northern Cali
fornia were suddenly turned 10 the north
and west, which brought colder air and
clearing showers. Under such rapid
changes in temperature rain and snow fell
IN the high area in Oregon and Washing

the precipitation ceased, with winds shift

WORK FOR ALASKA
Peoples Memorial Laid Before
Secretary Noble.
DIFFICULTIES OF HER COURTS.
Benefits of the School System to be
Extended--Obstruct ions in Salmon
Streams Unlawful.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. Especial. i
Captain Carroll, of Alaska, and Chairman
Struble, of the House committee on terri
tories, laid before Secretary Noble today
the memorial of the convention which sent
Captain Carroll to Washington. 1t is prob
able tina THE secretary will draft a bill,
which may be acted upon in the House,
looking TO securing better government
for that territory.
Secretary Noble has received a commu-
nication from the Hon. Lyman Z. Knapp,
governor Of Alaska, which contains argu-
ments in favor of stationing government
vessel at Alaska to aid in the adminlstra-
ton OF the government. The governor
submits some very interesting statements
from G. s. johnson, the United States at
torney for Alaska, which show that it is al
most impossible TO transact business I'M
der the present conditions. He shows that
the witnesses in the case of the United
States against j. Z. w. Clarke, for MUIR
der. to get from Unga to Sitka must travel
to San Francisco and back. because there is
no means of transportation across the
narrow strip of water. The mileage fees
of the two witnesses in the case amount to
about 81 900 each, The attorney has four
murder cases on hand now which he can
not prosecute because he cannot get his
witnesses. He says that it is easy for
criminals to escape because it is impossible
for officials to pursue them, and unless
something is done to remedy this state of
things lawless band will in time grow
up on some of the islands which will make
trouble and which the government will
find it hard to suppress. The governor
says small cruiser should be stationed
there, over which the authorities could
have entire control in necessity.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding has in
formed the collector of customs at Sitka,
Alaska, that the department concurs with
him in the opinion that all barricades and
distractions of whatever nature in any
bay, inlet or estuary, leading to or de-
bouching from fresh water stream so as
to prevent salmon from ascending or
entering the stream are In violation of
law.
The House committee on education de-
voted its session today to the considera-
ton of the condition of the inhabitants of
Alaska, and decided to report to the
House committee resolution to extend to
Alaska the benefits of the act of
1857 to establish agricultural expert
mental stations in connection
with colleges in the several states,
aud the act supplementary thereto
passed last year to apply portion of the
proceeds from public lands to more COM
plete endowment and support of agri-
cultural and mechanical colleges. The
effect of this action would be to place at
the disposal of the interior department
money TO purchase the reindeer with
which it is proposed to stock Alaska.
