There has been much published about
factionAl differences between the partisans
of Mckinley and sherman on the one
hand and those OF Bushnell and Foraker
on the other hand. The latter were said 20
oppose the appointment Of MIR. Hanna.
AS Mr.. Cox is generally considered as
one OF the most prominent leaders Of the
Bushnell Foraker element, his positive
statement is regarded as rejecting an
agreement among Republican leaders in
Ohio on Chairman Hanna for the seat

Sherman had not made his resignation TO
take effect at once instead Of March ., so
that the appointment could have boon
made at once and no opportunity beon
given for the publications about alleged

Mr. Cox Insists that he has not deserted
either Governor Bushnell or Senator For
aker, but that he Is as good a friend to
them as ever although he is now emphat-

Lawlessness il Increasing Mt White Pass
and Matters Reaching n Serious Stage.
SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. THE au-
thorities OF Alaska have awakened to
the serious nature of the situation ut
the White pass They see in the con-
tinuance Of the camp ut Skaguay,
as now constituted, possibilities for
crime and various other evils OF
great magnitude. Steps have been
taken to break up the camp
by dispensing the lawless element
that has gathered there from every
state in the union. Serious us is the
situation at Skaguay and White pass,
as portrayed by letters and by tho
men returning from the camp; discon-
solatc and appalling as is the condi-
ton OF the trail over the mountain
barrier between the 5000 gold hunters
and the paradise on the other side, the
accounts published from time to time
seem to have but family portrayed tho
actual state Of affairs. Made desperate
by their failure to get over the trail
and by the terrible hardships that
they have been compelled to endure in
the hopeless struggle against odds OF
the past few weeks, the miners have
become suspicious Of each other, and
quarrels are OF hourly occurrence.
Every mans hand is raised against
every other man. The lawless char.
acters are much in evidence, and dis
sensions and discords have broken out
among the miners until such thing
as co-operation Is impossible.
