BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Debates Over q Janitor and Assistant
Counsel.

Debates Over q Janitor and Assistant
Counsel.
The board of aldermen transacted consider
able business, but it was diversified by debate
on the question of appointing a janitor 1t
arose on a concurrent resolution that Roscoe
Dixon be appointed janitor OF the city hall i'm
mediately. On motion of Alderman Miller, il
was read second time under suspension of the
rules He favored the appointment, saying it
displeased nobody, as there was unother posi-
ton open forithe present janitor, Captain Floyd.
Alderman Wilcox said it was a political
scheme that Dixon was to be indicted into
Office simply because he is colored
Mr.. Miller dsciaimed any knowledge as to the
color of the candidate, and said he had no poll
teal ak to grind.
The matter being put to a vote, the motion
was lost. Captain Snyder, Mr.. Miller, and Mr..
Bogardus voting in favor of it.
Mr.. Pontius, of finance committee, in regard
to Puget Sound National bank and the First
National bank, who hold old street grade scrip,
reported in favor of granting the banks war
rant against the judgment fund. This will
avoid the cost OF law suit, as IL viii be neces-
sary for the banks TO save the statute of limita-
ton by prosecuting the cases to judgment. The
report was adopted.
Captain Snyder called attention of the claim
for damages by the widow OF Larson, a member
of the fire department, who was killed in the
discharge of his duty. The widow does not de-
sire to sue the city, and Mr.. Snyder thought a
committee should be appointed to inquire into
the claim. 1t is understood the widow will set
tie for a nominal sum. The matter was referred
to the finance committees of both houses.
A concurrent resolution was read providing
for the purchase of the F. S. Prouty swivel noz-
zles for the fireboat, subject to condition that
they work satisfactorily.
Mr. Miller objected to the adoption OF the res
olution, saying that ii the company got the noz-
zles on the fireboat they would never get them
off it.
Captain Snyder was in favor of feeding the
city's white elephant. After furter discussion
the resolution was adopted.
An ordinance appropr.ating $1,000 for the pur-
chase of lot l, block Is, Comstock addition
Queen Anne town, for the building of new
fire house, the money to be appropriated from
the fire fund, was passed under the suspension
of the rules.
Ordinance approving assessment roll of Farm
street was passed; also resolution for purchase
of lot for fire engine on the Renton addition;
also the assessment roll for Warren street.
An animated debate arose over the request of
the corporation counsel for special assistance
on account of the pressure of large number of
cases in which the city is concerned being about
TO come to trial. Messrs. Miller and Wilcox earn
estly urged the board not to delay in so serious
matter, the latter reminding them that the
corporation counsel already had the power to
appoint an assistant when necessary.
Messrs. Sweeney, Korn and Snyder wanted it

INTERIOR OF ALASKA.
Results of the Giave-Dalton Expedi-
ton of This Season.

second letter has been received in Seattle
from Lieutenant E. J. Glave, who, with John
Dalton, started out last spring to find pack
trail up into the interior of Alaska. Last sum-
mer word was received from Lieutenant Glave
that he had accomplished this purpose. and thus
for the first time opened the interior to trade
and commerce. He has now returned to Pyra-
mid harbor. from which he writes:
Altogether we had most successful journey,
for we covered a lot of new territory hitherto
UNEMPLOYED. have mapped out quite an inter-
estfng section OF land, and we experienced all
the usual incidents strange and exciting, of a
journey through wild country.

to play an important part in Alaskan history

existed, except the Indian carrer-a mode of
conveyance upon which the solid development
OF country could not be made. The inac-
feasibility OF the interior of Alaska has barred
out the miner and the prospector; but now the
road is open, gold is said to be in those regions
and the search Tor the treasure can now be
made. The United States and the Dominion
governments can now follow our footsteps and
survey the land they claim: they can go in and
