The officers to be nominated are one JUS

commission and four presidential electors.
Each of the state conventions Will also
elect four delegates to the national con-
ventions.
A movement is on foot tonight among
the Republicans to make an ex-
preston on the Puerto Rlcan tariff
bill, but the consensus of opinion among
the delegates is that many resolutions on
the subject will be laid on the table.
A majority Of the Democrats and Popu-
lists are In favor Of fusion, and, unless
the programme is changed before tomor-
row, a union of these forces will undoubt-
edly be effected, though not without caus-
ing a split in the Populist ranks
"A number of Populist delegates have as
serted today that if fusion is carried they
will bolt and place a Middle-of-the-Roa
ticket in the field.

Puerto Rican Bill to Become Law
Today.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Puerto
Rico bill will reach the president sorue
time tomorrow afternoon. The engrossed
parchment was prepared today, prior to
the final vote, which, however, came so
so late that it was inexpedient to secure
the signatures of Speaker Henderson and
President Of the Senate Frye to the en-
crossed bill. This final formality will be
performed as soon as the session opens to-
morrow, so that by 10 o'clock the bill can
be taken to the White house. Representa-
tive Baker, of Maryland, chairman of the
committee on enrolled bills, probably will
deliver the bill to the president, and 1t is
expected that the presidential signature
may be affixed at once.

Scourse of the gold Democrats in the COM

THAT Is a matter that cannot now be

Democrat will support Bryan. The Bry-
antics will no doubt denounce imperial

re-elect Senator Jones chairman of the

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE long and
bitter struggle over the Puerto Rtcan
tariff bill ended today, when the house
by a vote of 161 to 153, concurred in all the
senate amendments. The bill now re-
quires only the signatures of the speaker
of the house and the president of the SEN
ate before going to the president for his
approval. These signatures will be at
tached tomorrow, and before nightfau the
bin probably will be a law. AS the bill
originally passed the house 1t was a SIM
pie bill, imposing 15 per cent of the Ding
ley rates on goods going into Puerto Rico
from the United States and coming from
Puerto Rico into the United States.
| AS amended by the senate and todav
agreed to by the house, all restrictions on
lgoods coming into the United States from
Puerto Rico are eliminated, and certain
foodstuffs and articles which heretofore
have gone into Puerto Rico free by exec
iFtive order are excluded from the opera
zion of the Is per cent duty imposed on
goods entering the island from the United
States. A complete scheme of civil gov
ernment for the island is also attached to
the measure.
upon the maj vote nine Republicans
voted against the bill-Messrs. Heatwole

COLUMBUS, O., April 1.-THE state

noon, with a rather small attendance,
but this will be increased before tomor-

solidly for Bryan, though President A. c.

referred only Indirectly to the Nebraskan
and ignored silver entirely. It is expected
that there will be big fight in the COM

THE BEST OF PLAYS.
A Drama of Romance That Never
 Fails to Charm.

In Dunstan Kirke and Hazel Kirke, MT. Ogden and Miss Oakdync will be seen in two characters that are more suited to them than any they have yet portrayed in Skagway, while the re- maining cast have given better re- suits at rehearsal than at any of the pre- vious productions.
 "Hazel Kirke" has never failed to draw good audiences whenever and wherever it has been presented. It is probably the most certain card that is known to our stage. All lovers of a good wholesome play should take ad- vantage of this offering at Armory Hall Saturday evening.
 At the request of many of the young folks (and few of the old ones) social dance will be gwen after the perfor- nance. There will be no extra charge for reserved seats. The same may be obtained at Kelly's drug store.

In the Water Two Hours
 Before Rescued.
DAWSON MAIL DELAYED
Lake Bennett Will Be Open in Ten Days and Lake Steamers Will Be Launched This Week - Much of the Toe Already Out of the Lake.

Messenger Doyle, from White Horse for Bennett with government mail, broke through the ice near the head of Lake Tagish few days ago. Three of his dogs were drowned and Doyle was in the water two hours, when he was providentl- ally found and rescued. He was taken in a semi-paralvzed and benumbed state, and had he remained there much longer he would have died.
 The news of the accident that befell Doyle was brought from Bennett by E. w, Pollock, the Post -lnteIligencet agent, who visited that city vesterdav and returned to Skagway last evening. MT Pollock says:
 "The long delayed mail from Dawson for Skagwav and outside points is at Five Fingers or in that vicinity. The ice there has accumulated or formed in such a con dition that steamers cannot get through it, and neither footmen, horses nor canoes can make any progress at that point.
 "Everv effort is being made on the part of the men who carry local mails from Bennett down and beyond the lake to get through regularly.
 "The general opinion at Bennett is that Lake Bennett will be open in ten days. The lake is already open from Camp C, along the lake, 10 Caribou, It is also open half mile out from the shore at Bennett, and particularly where the Bell river flows in. great bar of sand lies back of the steamer wharves, but this will be covered with water as the ice disappears and the snows on the surrounding hills melt and raise the water of the lake.
 There is narrow strip of open water all along the east shore of Lake Bennett.
 "lt Is now impossible to get over Tag lsh lake on the ice.
 "The steamer Cleaner was today low cred from its blocks on the ice into the water of the lake. The steamer Reaper Is heating completion.
 "Betore the end of the week the blocks will be knocked from under the steamers Australian, Bailey and Sifton, now on the ways, and they will be permitted to glide into the lake.

Will Pass Pronounced Anti
 Brady Resolutions.
CONVENTION ASSEMBLIES
Temporary Organization Effected With Tustin of Wrangel in the Chair -- Twenty-Five Delegates in Attendance.

 respondence to the DAILY ALASKAN There is great anti-Bradv feeling here among the delegates of the republican dis trict convention, now in session in this city to elect delegates to the national con vention.
 It is expected strong resolutions will be passed denouncngthe governor and recom- mending that he be not reappointed.
 It is conceded John G. Price, of Skag way, will be the choice of the convention for national committeeman. John G. Held, of Juneau, had made strong fight but early in the day recognized his defeat and made a complete surrender, He is one of the committeeman on resolutions, which is anti-Bradv beyond a doubt, and If he should be willing to sign the resolutions drawn by that committee denouncing the governors course. it is likely he may be chosen as one of the four delegates to the national convention, but he wilt be first compelled to declare against Bradvism.
  John c. Held of Juneau, at 2;3o p, m. to- day. Iwenty>fve delegates were present, Price of >kagway pllced in nomination for temporary chairman, Fred Page Tustn of Wrangel, who was elected without a dissenting voice. On accepting the chair MT Tustin made an appropriate address on the great importance of the convention. Sheppard 'of Douglas, was nominated by VanDoran. of Juneaa, TOT temporary secre- tarv and unanimously elected.
 The following were appointed commit tee on credentials: Marquam, of Hanes; Spickett, of Juneau; Valentine, of Juneau; Keller, of Skagwav.
 The convention took recess of one hour to give the committee on credentials time to investigate and prepare report. Upon resembling the committee immediately reported, and the following were allowed seats in the convention: Juneau- A. C. VanDoran.
