TIT EXCELSIOR
 ARRIVES.
With Copper Experts And
 Railroad News
RAILS AND ROLLING STOCK
 ARE SECURED.

The arrival of the Excelsior oa Monday evening, with B passm gers for Valdez. brings Us some news relative to the new railroad.
 We learn fIom one of the pas sengcrs that M. J. Henehan, of the Illinois Steel Co.,, sold to the ", C. R. X Y. R. R. Co. 5000 tons steel rails of the class known as 5S ID. rails. The goods are paid for, and the contract calls for their delivery in Valdez bay.
 MT. Henehan came up to Juneau on the Excelsior, and from thero he will go to Skagway, where he is authorized to purchase the rolling stock of the White Pass K. R., which is to be changed from mar row to standard gauge.
 The N, C. R. & Y. R. R. Co, in building their road will set the ties for standard gauge, but as a begin ming will lay the rails for marrow gauge road, which will suit their puSpose for the present. Later ,he road will be changed to stand ard gauge.
 At the present time it is difficult to secure railroad supplies of any kind. The steel companies that manufacture rails are a year and . half behind on their orders, and as a consequence some of the rails that are being shipped to Valdez had to be purchased in Belgium.
 The steamer carrying the rails was booked to leave Seattle on July 1th, and is likely to arrive here amy day.
 It is the intention of the Com pany to begin operations at an Sdii. tdtc. SOiitIdctS loT tlcs VIII he let, and every branch of the business will be pushed along as rapidly as possible, and the screech of the locomotive whistle Is likely to be heard in the land before the next snow flies
 COPPER EXPERTS ARRIVE.
 The Excelsior brought d number of prominent mining engineers, among whom were Messrs NJ. ). Heller, Norris English, Han ley and H. A. Keller, of san Fran cisco and F. II. Blake and Pope, of New York. Shortly after their arrival they went aboard the $. $. Newport, and were taken tO l-atouche Islapd, where they will examine the copper property of Mir. Beatson. Mir. Geo. M. Esterly has placed his naptha launch Ma rilla at their disposal, and after cCnpleting their Investigations at Latouehe they will proceed toElla- mar and other mining properties, which they will give thorough ex- animation.
 Mir. Robert Blei, of New York, is showing the gentlemen .around lhe sound, and when they have finished .heir investigations there they will return to Valdez, where Mir. Steph- en Birch, Who is Capt Delamar's superintendent of affairs in Alaska will take them in charge and guide them to the Nicolai and Bonanza claims. Mr. Birch, Harry Fitch and two others came in from the mines some time ago and have beeaa waiting for these gentlemen, who are here in the interest of Mir. Delamar of New York.
 The development of various claims, upon which Mir. Delamar has an option, will depend entirely upon the report of these gentlemen.
 Mir. Cohen, of New York, would have been one oi the party hau he not met with an accident in San Francisco. He will probably b ere later.

A SENATORIAL
SITUATION

A north ago no one on earth had
any idea there was the least chance OF
sending Repu blican to the United
States senate to succeed Mr.. Teller
next year.
Now it is not only a possibility,
but it is very probable.
On the face of the returns the Re-
publicans have within two or three
votes of the majority of the legisla-
ture on joint ballot. They have a
large majority in the house. With a
fair count in Denver the Republicans
would h ave more than dozen ma
jority ON joint ballot.
1t is only fair and right that con-
test be made in Arapahoe county and
if the frauds show upon careful ex-
animation, to be one half as bad as
reported the Republican contestants
will be seated.
This will practically assure the
election of Republican senator.
Who this will be no one knows.
There are several candidates. promi-
nently mentioned. From his past ex.
cellent service and national reputation
former Senator Wolcott undoubtedly
leads the list, though he has by no
means cinch on the prize
Irving Howbert of Colorado Springs
has signified his willingness and he
is backed by Chairman Farley and
the Springs push. Mr.. Howbert is
wealthy and prominent, and in a
position to make good fight.
Judge Dickson of Pueblo, who
spoke in many places during the late
campaign, is also mentioned promi-
nently. He is an orator with few
equals and makes followers wherever
he speaks.
Next to Senator wolcott, there is
probably more talk in favor of Frank
Goudy the state over. Mr.. Goudy
made the race for governor two years
ago, and has many acquaintances in
all parts of the state.
Then there are several other names
mentioned as possibilities. Among
them are John W. Springer. the big
cattle man. Tom Walsh, A. B. Sea
man, and others.

Voted a way they knew safe and right

For the of party held them tight

Washington, Sept 3.-The news Of
the tragic accident to the President 5

hard to reaSsure many of the officials,
who feared that even if not serious

might have sustained internal injuries
which would develop in a few hours.
So Mr.. Cortelyou's message, received
late in the afternoon, announcing the
safety of the rest Of the party, except
Craig, went far to relieve the appre-

On the basis Of the first report an
