SO far as temperature went there had
been such a change from yesterdays
humidity that I'm the early morning
people wrapped their thin coats about
them closely and the coaches at the
various quarters warned the crews not
to expose themselves unnecessarily.
There was a change noted by the
thermometer from 96 degrees yesterday
to 90 degrees this morning. But with
the cool weather came clearness that
was refreshing after the humidity Of
the past few days.

CORNELL THE FAVORITE.
Cornell remained as last night the ia
vorite in the betting at even money
against Pennsylvania and the same
terms against Wisconsin. The hackers
of the Quaker crew were not fright
ened by the preponderance OF Cornell
sentiment and continued TO put up
their money whenever the chance Of
fered itself. There are not a great many
Wisconsin rooters. here. but this is due
to the distance that the Badgers are
from home: hence there was less back
ing OF their crew than there was of
Cornell and Pennsylvania. There was
very little field betting against any one
favorite but quite a number of wagers
were made on Columbia beating
Georgetown. Hanlan the Columbia
coach bet newspaper man new hat
that his men would defeat Wisconsin
in both the varsity and freshman
races, but no one else was willing 10
hazard anything on the blue and white
crew against any other except George
town.

:hls very important matter, and Is afraid the people of Alaska will not be able to arouse lt In time to get any results for year or more"
 It sverv strange that other Alaskans In Washington, including Mr. Price and Governor Brady. should have found so much "interest In this very important mat ter" and that all the newspapers of the country should have found so much to re- port upon the subject, and that Mr. Brack- cit, of Skagway, Alaska, should have discovered" but little interest taken in 1t.
 One cannot doubt the word of MT. Blaekett. of course, nor that of Mr. Price; SO the only explanation Is that Mr. Price was working in the senate and the house Of representatives, and formed his eonelu- slons upon observations made there. while Mr Bracket was devoting himself entirely to the Third House, which this season has paid little attention to Alaska affairs ex- eept h regard to rallrCads and eanneries.

CONGRESS SHOULD GET EVEN

That Alaska has been SO much neglect et in the past is directly due, in a great measure. to her own indifference or silence in legari to her legislative needs. Now that she has the ear of congress and Of the country. m fact. her voice should be heard everywhere. and there need be no special subscription for advertising purposes. As an instance of how a suggestion will spread where it will do the most good, take the recent editorial in these columns with regard to taxing Canadian goods at this port instead of permitting them to go through in bond, and also in regard Co the passage of a mining law that would dis crmlnaie against aliens of British alleg- iinee.

As will be remembered, the president refused to make any appointment pending the quarrel Of the oregon delegation on the subject. But this quarrel continues and has made deadlock on the Subjsct. There fore the president has considered the next best sndidate for the position, w. L.

Mr. Sherpy IS a greater man than Josh ua, tor when he resigned as assistant post master on Saturday evening the whole world stood still. holding its breath in sNpeetancy of what direful disaster would happen next.

And as Co Mr. Sampson, the postmaster, how he will SnStain such a loss it is hard 10 say, but he seems to be bearing it quite cheertully.
 It Is always a prliSeworihy thing for a man to have an ambition. and Mr. Sherpy has had the ambition to be postmaster ot Skagway ever since he was born. lt has kept him awake nights planning for it,and before he was made assistant postmaster his health was in bld way. Since then he has recovered and after sending In his resignation in full confidence that congress would pass a bill, if necessary, and rather than lose hlS services, Co make him post master. he has radiltet good health. But the department pigeonholed his repreSen> tations, and Mr. Sherpy. who has been maneuvering for the poStmaSteiship while assistant postmaster. Is now out.
 There are many things that could be Sald. however. in palliation of MT. Sher- pv's eonduct. and in regard to the physical and mental condition of the present. post master. But as in a short time a resident of ofSkagway will be appointed ,o the posi- ton. whose selection. it Is confidently be- lieved, will prove entirely satisfactory to every citizen of Sklgwsy, the less said on ,h- subject the better.
