JUNKET CALLED OFF
RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS DE-
eide TO ABANDON TRIP TO
WASHINGTON
FRICTION WITH GOVERNOR
Whispered That Executive Objected
to Commission Cutting I'm at
Twelfth HOur-Two of
Them Sore.

Gov. Van SAINT, probably aided by COM
missioner Staples, scored once on the
state railroad and warehouse commission
yesterday, and as a result Of the many
conferences held the railroad commission
called off their little junket to Washing
ton, where they were to have had a con-
ference with the interstate commission.
There is every evidence of an official
GOODNESS between part of the commission
and the governor. Gov Van SAINT does
not like the idea of the commission cut
ting in at this late date, especially
when it contemplates an action not in
harmony with the plans which Gen.
Douglas and himself have decided upon
Judge Mills has contended from the be-
ginning that the matter should be left
to the federal authorities. The governor
and attorney general have been prepar-
ing to get the matter into courts at the
earliest possible moment and with as
little hurrah as possible. Commissioner
Staples Is a very warm friend of the
governors, and while he has said moth
ing to indicate that he was not in entire
harmony with his brethren on the COM
mission, there is every reason to believe
that after his little conference with the
governor on Friday night he went back
to tell his colleagues that the governor
was right and that the Washington trip
ought to be postponed. The governor
pointed out to the members of the COM
mission that they could accomplish no
good whatever by going to Washington,
while they might do much harm. If they
We're to go down to Washington and dis
cuss the matter with the interstate COM
merce commission, and a decision was
rendered against their position, it would
be hailed by delight by the railroad in

fight. He told them plainly what he
proposed to do, and he was DESTROYS of

conceal his displeasure at the governors
attitude, intimating that the governca
was Jealous of the commissions cutting
in, and he said that from now on the
governor could do as he pleased without
assistance from the commission
Gov. Van SAINT would make no state
ment as to what had taken place between
himself and the commission. He re-
ferred all those who asked to the COM
mission. He said that as far as he knew
the commission was composed of very
pleasant gentlemen The commission

There is a very widespread sympathy
for Col. Bobleter, because of the fact
that he is entirely free from blame In
the matter. He was in no wise response
BILE for the loss to the state through the
failure of the banks in which the state
money was deposited. At that time there
was a board of deposit which designated
the banks in which the state should keep
it's funds, and also the manner of invest
ing state funds. Col Bobleter had no
discretion in the matter. Although legal
ly liable he was not to blame in any
sense.
A prominent member of the legislature
said yesterday: 81 certainly should be IN
favor of the legislature taking some
action in this matter, if there is any way
in which they can legally give Col. Bob
Letter relief I am sure there would be
no opposition to such a measure on the
part of any member of either house. It
seems unfair that so good man as Col.
Botleter, who has served his state and
country in so faithful manner, shoum
suffer. through an unfortunate combina-
ton of circumstances of lnis kind, when
he is not guilty of negligence or official
remissness. If we can legally appropriate
money for this purpose we ought to do
it; at any rate there ought to be some
way in which we can render the as

The trail to the Porcupine Is now a scene of great life and activity.wth the crowds of miners rushing in to stake the unrepresented claims. It is estimated that one hundred and fifty men have gone in for that purpose, loaded with picks and shovels and two weeks camping outfit. Heavy. snows and strong windshave made i the tfafr very bad and in some places 1t Is covered by several feet of loose snow. Notwithstanding this the crowd of miners still struggle on with hopes of securing a claim in the rich PorcupIne. J. D. Ritchie arrived from there on the last boat and left for Dawson yesterday. He said:
 "The rush about New Years was greater than was expected, and would have been larger had there been local steamers run hing from Skagwav and Juneau to Hanes,
 "Hotel keepers at Haines told me that at least one hundred and fifty men had re- gently gone into the country.
 'There are plenty of unrepresented claims in there if one knows where to find them, and most everyone who was in the first rush will get some kind of claim.
 "All of the claims upon which work has ever been done are represented, although 1t is expected that some of the unworked ground will turn out rich.
 ''rhe principal work going on now is In preparing for the busy season expected next year.

NO TRAIN THIS MORNING
Yesterday Morning's Passenger Train Is Blocked Two Miles Be yond Fraser-Could Neither Go Ahead Or Back Up-Work Train Will Follow the Old Rotary Out This Morning.

The first tie up of the season occurred on on the railroad yesterday when the morn- ing train was stopped by an impenetrable snow bank two and half miles the other side of Fraser that resisted all efforts of rotary and brought traffic to a standstill. The rotary and engines are out of water and snow is being used. They are also short of coal. There are about twelve passengers on the train who were brought food from the station al Fraser.
 A work train will follow the old rotary out at 4 o'clock this morning with gang of men who will shovel out passage for the train.
 Wednesday night the train was four hour, late and the morning train had a hard fight to reach Bennett During the night the snow dritted badly filling up all the cuts.
 The morning train yesterday was long time reaching Fraser. The snow bound train at last reports, coal was running short and no further work could be at tempted until the work train arrived. The train could neither go ahe d or come back up and during the day the snow drtted completely over the engines and coaches. 1.-The south bound train from White Horse with about twelve passengers was laid up at Pennington, few miles from Bennett.
 Officials of the road, while not fearing a prolonged tie up, admit that it will be al- most impossible for the train to reach Ben nett while the present. storm continues.

Postmaster Sampson has prepared a |, comparative statement of the amount of mails arriving and departing from and to the interior from SkagWav from portions of 1890 and 1900 which gives eloquent tes- tmonv as to the development of the Yu- kon and the growth of traffic over the White Pass.
 In making his comparison Mr. Sampson has selected period in the summer and one in the winter. The discrepancy be- tween the number of sacks handled in the summer and in the winter is partly ex- plained by the fact that all classes of mat ter, including papers, are admitted to the mails in the summer, while in the winter the government limits itself to letter mail only.
 Mr. Sampson has selected as suitable periods of comparison the six weeks be- tween July IS and September I of each year for the summer and those between November and December IS for the winter.
 According to MT. Sampson's statement there were received from the interior be- tween July IS and September I at the Skagwav postoffice 227 sacks of mail for the United States. For the same period of 1900 the mail receipts were 28o sacks.
 During the same period of 1899 there were shipped to Dawson 2o3 sacks of U. s. mails from Skagwav to the Yukon while in 1900 for the period mentioned the shipments from Skagwav to the Yukon were 78I sacks, Thus it will be observed that the gain in receipts was more than 26 pr cent. and that in shipments nearly Io7 per cent
 From, Nov. l to Dec..Is,. ISo), the re ceipts of mail for the U. s. from the inte- rior were IS6 sacks and during the same period for 1900, PAS or gain of one-thrd' The shipments during the same period of U. s. Mails were: In I8oo, 223 sacks; in 1900, SIS, or gain of more than I32 per cent.

NOBODY WAS KILLED
Names of Parties to Shooting Are Unknown to People From Porcu- pine - Judge Girton of That Dis triet Now in the City Has Heard Nothing of the Affair-E. Fonaas Heard Nothing While There.

A rumor was started yesterday about a shooting affray on Porcupine creek, but investigation fails to throw any light on the subject as parties recently from there know nothing of it and names of partici- pants are unfamiliar.
 As the story was told by J. D. Richtie, a passenger on the train now blockaded near Fraser, Bob Younger took shot at a man named Livingstone on the morning of January Wounding him in the fore arm.
 E. Fonaas, the contractor, who came up from Hanes on the same steamer, heard nothing of the shooting and is inclined to dsbelieve the story.
 "It couldn't be true," said he, 'or the news would have been heard in Hanes. talked with men who had recently come out from the Porcupine but heard nothing of any shooting.
 pr. Pare, of the mounted police, who was ln the Porcupine country said:
 Had there been any shooting, "l "lwoud certainly have heard of it"
 Judge Grton, us, commissioner at Porcuplne City, who is now in the city, could throw no light on the rumor. He said:
 "I don't believe there are any such men us Livingstone and Younger on the Porcu- pine; If there are never heard of them"
 Judge Pratt and several others who are interested in mining on the Porcupine never heard the names of the supposed parties to the shooting as being residents of Porcu- pine.
