from this city was witnessed today
when the steamer Excelsior, chartered
by the Alaska Commercial company,
left Mission street pier at 2 p. IN.
This steamer sailed direct for st.
Michaels, and is the last of the COM
pany's fleet which will connect with the
Yukon river steamers this season.
For hours before the departure of the
steamer the wharf was thronged with
people. Such was the demand for
berths that after the sale of tickets
closed those who had been fortunate
enough to secure them were besieged
by intending prosDectors who offered
three times the original amount for
them, and one instance is on record
where a passenger changed his mind
after receiving such a fiattering offer
as $1,000 for the pasteboard, for which
he originally paid but $3.50. Probably
the fact that the Excelsior was the first
to bring the news of the great strike
to this city added to the interest taken
in her departure, for over 1000 people
gathered upon the wharf to bid fare
well to the ITO passengers for the Klon-

afternoon, and as anticipated, il was
that of United States marshal. Glen
Miller was successful in field ot IA
candidates. His most prominent rivals
were Hoyt Sherman. James Devine and
Chief of Police Arthur Pratt. This is

that his influence will be more effective

wire will be laid along the ground in

Arthur Brown has worked very
smoothly in this matter He did not
oppose the appointment and make any
complications. What he did do when
asked concerning the selection of Miller
was to say to Mckinley that Miller was
not his first choice. But" he added,
he is a good Republican, and assisted
in making me senator. I have nothing
TO urge against the appointment"
So while the Lannan-Cannon combi-
