There has been no such rainfall in Manila since 1867, in September of which year 57,S34 inches fell. In three days last July the rainfall was 22 inches, and in five days it amounted to 36 inchea

ALASKA Is my home. and country very

"As to the judiciary and It's enlarge

one stationed at Sitka. for that place and
the country to the westward, and a fourth
AT Juneau. VI COURSE we Will not be abe
to get three judges, and from all indica-
tons fear, but one. My idea Is that in
bill granting four Judges. the United
States attorney general should be given
power to designate where the judges shall
be stationed.
'.The salaries of the Alaskan judges
should be $1,000 instead of $1,000 per an
mum, as now. And would be in favor of
seeing the Cape Nome Judge get $4,000 for
the first three years and 5000 per annum
after that.
"My reason for fearing that we will get
but one additional Judge is that the attor-
ney general, understand has asked Judge
johnson to draft a bill providing for but
one additional judge"
Gov. Brady Is enthusiastic regarding the

see a railroad running from the sea, some

will some time be the center OF popula-

Gov. Brady, discussing the resignation
OF Judge johnson. paid the latter very
high tribute, saying:
I'VE shall be very sorry to lose him. He
has made the people of Alaska a consci-
entious, efficient and able Judge He has
been absolutely. impartial, honest and

The secrecy which at all times sur
surrounded the late Federal grand jury's
investigation Of alleged forgery in connec-
ton with the ofI1cial bond OF James G.
Saunders. ex-collector or customs of the
Puget sound district, Is still maintained at

rumor that the jury failed to indict in the
case because the crime, II committed. was
outlawed. Is denied. however.
THE rumor,' said United States Attor-
ney Gay, yesterday, lis without founda-
ton. This ONCE was fully advised regard
ing the matter before placing 1t In the
hands of the grand jury, and the time
spent In the investigation was not wasted.
At present cannot, with propriety. make
any further statement, and It Is just a.
well to consider the incident closed.
II might add, however, that the state
ment that the alleged crime was six years
old has no foundation IN ract. The bond
