UNJUST

CRITICISMS MADE REGARDING
THE WORK OF JUDGE MOVES
AND RECEIVER M'KENZIE.
Seattle, Oct. 1O.-Among the recent
arrivals from Nome is Leigh D..
Bruckart, a young newspaper man who
spent several months in the gold fields
as correspondent for eastern news
papers. Mr.. Bruckart takes the po-
siticn that great deal Of the criti-
cism that has been made against
Judge Noyes and Receiver Mckenzie
is unjust
There are two sides to this contro-
versy, said he. l am personally ac-
quainteq with Judge Noyes, and know
that he was for days after his arrival
in the camp beset by representatives
Of the large mining companies who
were eager to purchase his friendship.
TO my personal knowledge, one offer
OF $2JO,OOO for his decision was made
him through an official of his court.
The matter is still under investigation
by the district attorney at Nome.
Nothing rnat has been said by the
representatives Of these mining COM
panies can shake my confidence -
Judge Noyes' integrity. am certain
that he would never stocp to sell JUS
tice for any consideration.
I am also personally acquainted
with Receiver Mckenzie, and can
truthfully say that believe l enjoy
his confidence to greater extent than
any newspaper man who visited Nome
this year. I believe he is thoroughly
honest. know that the stories that
have been circulated to the effect thai
the claims he worked failed to pro-
duce up to the mark made under their
original locasors are untrue.
It is fact that can be proven that
the claims Mr.. Mckenzie worked as
receiver were operated more econom-
ically and yielded more gold than they
ever did before.
Stories to the effect that Mr.. McKen-
zie was appointed receiver OF the
whole Nome district are also untrue.
As a matter OF fact, he worked but two
claims personally.

New York company. Indeed l do not
know the name Of the company that
Mr.. Mckenzie is connected with.
There was corporation formed in
and subscribed for a
certain amount of the stock. The
was interested in the min
ing business generally and that COM
pany, or some of it's officers and agents
are doing business in this country.
My subscription to the stock was $4OO
or $500, have forgotten which, but
as stated above, no part of it mas ever
been paid, and whether l have any in
terest or entitled to any interest in
he concern is very doubtful. That
corporation was formed, however,
long before had the slightest expec-
tation that l should ever come to
Alaska for any position.
"As to the shipment of my library
will refer any one to Judge R. n.
Stevens, who is thoroughly acquainted i
with the circumstances, in regard tc
which l am under no possible obliga-
tlons to Alex Mckenzie. In regard
to the railroad transportation or the
transportation from Seattle to Nome,
did not need the assistance of Alex
Mckenzie or OF any one else, and did
not receive it, In regard to my pas
sage from Seattle to Nome one COM
pany sent me an annual pass for my
self and Mrs. Noyes, which now holti
and several of the other companies
offered me transportation if l should
feel like coming up on one of theil
boats. do not apprehend these var.
ious companies were under the con.
troll of Mckenzie, but leave that fol
you to investigate.
"Braslan was sent out withou,
doubt and is receiving compensation
for the kind of work he is doing from
the people who have from my frs
arrival persistently sought to annc!
and embarrass in the conduct of bust
ness that is very trying not only il
it's nature but in amount, and here il
a new country, under new conditions
under new code, and with such a di
versity in the character of litigation
think l can safely say that am III
against about as hard condition ~
it is the fortune or misfortune of ;
man often to meet.
1.-The statements in regard to thu
failed in that; they have tried to in
timidate me and failed in that; the,
have slandered and libeled me here
and now have sent man out to carr!
on the work on the outside.
THE statement in regard to tn,
order of the circuit court, contained
in the papers shown me, are jus
about as truthful as that made in re
gard to myself, but in regard to tn
order. do not care to say anything
! have no fear but what the circui
court of appeals will do me perfec
justice, and that is all any man, an
certainly all judges, can ask.

own countrymen and countrywomen,
besides four times as many natives
and assistants. In 1875 the first col
lection from the churches amounted to
$64; now, fifteen million dollars are
subscribed and paid annually by the
Protestant people of Christendom.
Considering the scope of the mis-
sionary idea, the thousands and tens
of thousands who have devoted them
selves, or do now devote themselves
self forgetting1y to the great work, the
consecrated wealth that lies behind
the enduring scheme, and the moral
and civil transformations that have in
consequence taken place among
heather and pagan and savages, and
the worldwide fraternizing power of
the divine plan, the missionary enter
prise of the churches is the conspicu-
Gus undertaking of the Nineteenth
Century, and will become the excellent
glory of the Twentieth.

STATE CONVENTION AUGUST 8
Republican State Central Committee Issue
Call for Second State Convention.

The Republican State Central COM
n1ittee at a meeting in Milwaukee
Tuesday night settled upon August 8
in Milwaukee for the convention to
nominate State ticket 20 be voted on
in November.
A resolution was adopted, which is
to be referred to the different county
chairmen throughout the State, re-
guessing them to ascertain from each
county whether they would prefer a
smaller representation at State con-
vention.
This action was taken owing to the
present large number of delegates,
1,O67, and the inconvenience at times
of securing an auditorium suitable for
holding conventions attended by such
a large number. The county chairmen
are directed to report at the August
convention the result of their canvass.

There ls strong belief prevalent
that much Of this property escapes
taxation entirely; and a great deal is
underva1ued.
Upon the Committee on Pauper At
fairs, Fire Department and Streets and
Alleys l urge earnestly the strictest
economy.
DO not fear to do for the city what
you would do in your own business;
you are in duty bound to use the same
economy in the affairs Of the city, that
you would in your own private affairs.
Believing that in reduction of public
debt, thus relieving the people from
the canker worm, interest, in honest
and strict economy, thus providing the
way to pay our debts and reduce tax
ationT in graded compensation for
franchises; in owning by the city of
water and lighting systems, by which
the city gets the profits, or gives these
utilities TO our citizens at less cost, we
will do much to aid in the growth and
prosperity of our city.
/ ask yOur earnest consideration and
cooperation in the general policy
herein out1Iled.,
We must remember that practically
we are business corporation of which
for the time being the stockholders
have chosen us> as a board of directors,
Our simple DUTY is. to serve them
faithfully, to manage their business so
as to securethes greatest benefits at the
least expense.
The majority Of this council stand
pledged by the action of their party
convention to economy. No franchises

duction of taxation and ownership of

Let us prove these promises to have
been made earnestly and do our share
in preparing the way for whoever may
succeed us to follow in the same lime.

Notes and Comments.

Against the bill introduced by Sena-
tor A1drich for the esta b1ishment of a
National School for the training of
men for the Diplomatic and Consular
service, the objection is raised that the
Universities of Pennsylvania and other
Universities have courses on such sub
iects, and therefore the Government
has no need and ought not to so into
the pedagogic business. But many of
the Colleges give instruction in mill
tary tactics; this fact does not make
West Point unnecessary. The country
would not abandon West Point though
every school in the Republic should
give military instruction. Of Diplo-
matists and Statesmen the Nation has
not more than it can utilize. But few
American Consu1s enter their office
equipped for business. Why should
not instruction be given in such i'm
portant matters under the wdtchfu1
eye and the wide experience of the
Government itself? If the country
educates it's military officers and its
seameu, why not see that United
States Consul at Pretoria and an AM
bassador at the Court of st. James are
properly educated and duly qualified?
Presently two great National UNIVERSE
ties, one under Methodist and one under
Roman Catholic regime will be open in
Washington. If the United States can
not or will not build suita bic buildings
for schools or colleges in the nDip1o-
matte and Consular service, would it
not be good plan for the government
to command Department in one or
both of those National Universities,
and endow in each chairs of Dip1o-
macy, keeping those chairs filled with
professors of the science whose know1-
edge and experience have made them
famous if not renowned. The youth
of America may have startling abili-
ties in this line, and are only waiting
for some power like college of Dip
! 11maey to call them out.

The submarine boat armed with
torpedoes is an ugly and threatening
thing for a warship. 1t is said that
it's approach is discovered only with
difficulty. From the deck of the men
aced man of war often it is not visible
at all. But a submarine ship can
readily be located from the car of an
air ship. 1t may be painted in neutral
color, it may be very din1inutive, still
it will be plainly visible, and it's direc-
ton clearly traced. The higher we
rise the clearer our vision whether of
the low or the lofty, and the lower we
sink the more conspicuous and mon
strous appear our lives. One there is
above, whose omniscient eye detects

pected that several million salmon will
be taken each month during the sea-
son, which will continue until the
run of the spring salmon. An
early run of dog salmon is also ex-
pected in July, which will practically
keep the hatchery in operation through
out the year. The 6shway at the falls

Accidentally Shot.

Several boys while walking along
the road from Shelton to Lost Prairie
Tuesday morning found man man
lying by the roadside suffering from
bullet wound in the side, and well
nigh dead. They returned to Knee1.
and's camp on Rock creek, and Sc
curing help the injured man was
brought to camp, and help was sum-
moned from town. DR.. Beach and
Sheriff Vogtlln went out but the wound
was fatal and he died short time
after their arrival. He was conscious
and told the story of his terriable
struggle for help.
William Anderson was one of the
men who discovered gold at the head
of Rock Creek about two years ago.
and after the others abandoned the
prospect he still stuck to it, and was
work ing there when the accident han
pened. Early Monday, his revolver a
big As calibre, fell FROM its holster and
was discharged, the ball striking him
in the side and passing out his back.
Recovering from the shock and finding
himself mortally wounded, Anderson
began to climb up fitty-foot bank to
the road. This took several hours of
awful torture. He lay weak aud bare
ly alive by the road through the rest
of Monday, and until the following
noon before anyone passed along to
summon help. ~
Anderson was about IS years of age
and native of Sweden, with no rela.
tives in this country. He was quiet
man, unobtrusive, and a worker, as
was evident by his forlorn hope. The
remains were brought to Shelton and
buried Wednesday. SIPS was found
on his person, which will be used to de-
fray expenses incurred by the County.
