TO THE PUBLIC.

I take this method Of announcing
to the people that in the event of
the success of the Republican party
in the election of a majority of the
members OF the Legislature this
fall, I will become a candidate for
United States Senator.
I believe it is but fair to the
voter that those who aspire TO that
exalted position should so declare
their candidacy before the election
of members of the Legislature, so
that the citizen may have some
idea, at least. for whom he is
voting.
Should I be chosen United States
Senator. 1 only can pledge the peo-
pie to be honest with them. loyal
to my party, and true to my indi-
vidual sense of right and justice.
l am a Mckinley Republican, and
in holding up the hands of that wise
statesman and in sustaining his
policy.
believe this nation has a greater
destiny than Its founders ever
dreamed of, and that no man or
organization of men should be per-
mitted 10 obstfUct its progress;
that every foot of soil acquired by
the valor and blood of the Amert-
can soldier and sailor should be
retained as a part and parcel Of this
great republic, and that American
Industry and American commerce
should be extended to the four
quarters of the globe.
l feel that the people of Califor-
MIA, knowing me as they do. will
give me the credit of being at least
the proprietor of my own manhood,
and of being independent Of the
domination of any individual or in
fluence that may be considered in
imical TO the interests and we'll
being OF the State. If they have
not this confidence in NE, do not
, desire their support.
1t has been my practice in every
national and State campaign for the
, past twenty years to stump the
, State in behalf of the Republican
, ticket. the success of which, in my
estimation. is paramount to the in
; dividual aspirations OF any man
) No one should be elected to that
high office unless be be the decided
) choice of the Republicans of this
, State were they permitted to vote
upon such choice.
In any event l am a Republican
and a Californian, and in public or
private station will do all I can to
, further the harmonious interests of
both. GEORGE A. KNIGHT.

M. L. WASHBURN ARRIVES.
The Report He. Brings From the
Cooks Inlet Gold Diggings Is
Not Encouraging.

NJ. L. Washburn, agent for the Alaska
Commercial Company, returned from
Cooks Inlet yesterday after an absence
of several months. His report on the
condition of affairs in that portion of
Alaska is not very glowing. Washburn
has made an annual trip to Alaska dur
ing the last twenty years and has a
thorough knowledge of existing condi-
tions in the far north.
Shortly before leaving the inlet news
was brought to his camp of the wreck of
on board, miners, in search of new dig
gings, were lost.
The coal belt, which commences at the
mouth of Cooks Inlet, and of which so
much has been written, is, according to
Washburn, of little value. The coal is
of a very inferior quality, useless as a
commercial product and serving the sole
purpose of fuel. Washburn will return
to Alaska in the spring.

HoAR MAY SUCCEED HAY.
1t Is Said That the Massachusetts
senator May Go TO the Court
of ST. Jnmes.

BOSTON, MASS, Aug. 26-The Journals 8
Washington correspondent says: IF George
F. Hoar will consent to accept an appoint
ment as ambassador at the court of ST.
James. the appointment will probably be
made. The president Is thinking seriously
of asking the senior senator from Massa-
chusetts to take the place, which will soon
be vacated by Ambassador Hay, and he is
restrained only by his reluctance to re-
move Senator Hoar from the position he
now holds. 1t is hardly believed that Sem
ator Hoar would be willing to abandon the
senate after so many years in order to en-
ter upon diplomatic career, involving the
formation of new ties and the acceptance
of strange conditions. but the president has
thought that he would be the ideal Amer
lean representative in London when the
relations between Great Britain and the
United States have become SO close and
when the duties of an ambassador are to
be peculiarly delicate and important.
Senator Hoar Is the one American who.
without great wealth. could maintain the
prestige of an ambassador in London, for
he is almost the only American who is so
well known and highly regarded that he
could safely live as he liked. The one thing
which causes the president to hesitate Is
that he has not already sounded the SEN
ator on the subject. and is unwilling to
take him out of the senate.
