 THE CITIZENS AND Vov tternd| Friendship
For Alaska Over Aerated Cider and Sailed Homeward via
 Juneau.

Last Friday noon the pretty white cutter, McCulloch, was sighted coming up the bay. Then all all was hustle and excitement The reception committee heaved a great sigh of relief, donned their bright red badges and hustled about. The cutter hove 10 in the stream about equi-distant from both docks. A messenger came ashore and requested the commit tee to attend the Senators on the McCulloch; this was done and a programme arranged.
 At 4 o'clock that afternoon a jubilee reception was given the senators at Mckinley Hall, the fine new building put up by Al White. Mayor Goodell. in his genial, tactiul manner, made a most witty and happy speech of welcome, closing with the declara- ton that We wanted the aid of our powerful government to develop and populate Alaska, but we had so much faith in the resources oi the district and confidence in our selves that if the aid we prayed for was denied us we would go ahead and build up the country without it; and we even felt abie to do se despite the opposition of the great U. $. government, or any othe, government or nation. Senator Dillingham; responded, then hand. shaking and personal greeting, were indulged in by all present un- til 6 p. m., when the senators re. turned to the ship for the night.
 Saturday morning they visited Fort Liscum. The early afternoon fould them again in Valdez. Int afternoon was spent visiting ths stores and places of interest and in conferences generally with tn, business men. At ' o'clock tha, evening the banquet began.
 Sixty-three were seated at the banquet table in Wikidel's. and the flow of oratory continued until a late hour. The speeches will be found in another portion of this issue.
 Senator Dillingham;. as chairman of the subcommittee then spoke He stated that the committee was on. .this trip by order of the Presi, dent-Alaska's best friend. Tha, they have all enjoyed the triI greatly; that the many views of the grand scenery en route amply re- paid them for the time and fatigue of the trip. They met Judge Wick ersham ct Rampant. The commit. tee studied the conditions in the interior, at Nome, Kodiak and ev. erywhere. Tho general condition is the same as elsewhere. The great necessity prevailing is fol means of transportation. But to secure this from congress is no easy matter. Still all the committee are now friends of Alaska and would advocate . wagon road. He did not touch on the subject of ter ritoria1 government
 After urgent calls Senator Nelson responded. He excused his hesita. ton to speak by explaining that the committee was to address the public through their chairman only. He told of his trip with Mir. Hol- man up through Keystone canyon, and from the summit viewing the great promised land of the Copper river, the Panama, etc., comprising the great heart of Alaska. He scored Abercrombie's military road

DEATH OF Mss SToDDARD
The End Foretold in a Dispatch OF
Wednesday Night.

Florence. daughter of Secretary and
Mrs. Isaac T. StoGdard. died at :
o'clock last night at the home of her
grand father. Judge Martin, Bingham
ton, n. Y. Her death had been more
than indicated in a story in The Re-
publican yesterday morning describing
a turn for The worse in ner condition.
Not long ago il was found that she
was suffering of diabetes mellitus. the
gravest form of that diseass in itself
always serious enough and six weeks
ago she was sent TO Philadelphia and
was put in the care of one of
the most eminent specialists in the
United States. No assurance Re-
sulting from his examination
and treatment of Miss Stoddard
was held ont. still her friends were
hopeful of her recovery. Leaving Phil
adelphia she went to the home of her
grand father and word was sent to her
parents almost daily that her condition
had not materially changed.
The telegram announcing that she
had passed away said that the end was
painless. She sank into a sleep from
which she passed to death.
Late on Wednesday Secretary StOd-
dard received . telegram saying that
she had sunk into what is known as
diabetes coma. Those who are familiar
with that incident in the progress of
the disease at once gave up hope.
Mrs. StodGard. her son and Roy S.
Goodrich at once left for Binghamton.
The secretary was detained by his du-
ties as acting governor.
On the receipt last night OF the
news of his daughters death, Secre-
tary Stoddar1 telegraphed his wife on
the train that he would be able to
leave for Binghamton by next Satur-
day morning. Governor Brodie is ex-
pected in Phoenix not later thar next
Monday but the acting governor will

A 100000 GIFT
How w. c. Greene Remembers His
Old Associates.

IL is not every man who can distrib-
ute 100000 mines among his friends
and never feel it. That, though, is
what w G. Greene is doing. r. NJ.
King. business manager of the Demo-
crat, returned yesterday morning from
/ Cananea, where he went to visit his
brother, Sam King. Sam King is en-
ployed by the Green Consolidated COM
pany. He is an old friend of Mr.
Greene. He knew him and worked for
him when he was not walking on vel
vet and riding around in a private car.
He was then struggling with cattle
ard mines, not sure of ultimate sue
cess The CCbre Grande had not been
heard of then.
/ After he left Mr.. Green he engaged
in various occupations on his own ac-
count and finally became a line rider
and was being rapidly promoted in
the customs service. When Mr.. Greene
was locking around for some more con-
hdential help he turned toward Sam
King. On his last visit to this coun-
try he decided to make him small
present TO show his appreciation Of
| him. Among MIR. Greene's many prop
critics was valua BILE but new mine not
far from Cdnanea. There had been
several thousand dollars of develop
! ment work done. There was a new
hoisting apparatus and a boiler which
had never been fired up. Everything
was ready. though, for the firing. even
! 20 several hundred cords of wood.
There was a road built to theamine at
a cost Of $4,000. and the development
work showed ore TO the value of $780,
/ 600. The timber on the property is
estimated TO be worth $4,000. He gave
everything to Mr.. King just as it stood.
/ The title had TO be secured yet. and
Mr. Greene sent his attorney to Arizpa
with hr. King TO attend to that bust
ness. 1t took 81 .2CO in gold for fees to
the Mexican government and Mr.
Greene put up the money The gifS
having been made complete. Mr..
Greene said: Now. / think this prop
erty is worth 100000: I'll give you
that much for it if you'll take It. but /
would advise you not to sell at that
figure. I'm sure fthe mine viii bring
much more than that in a short time"
Mr.. King believes il viii make n
millionaire out of him. He has let his
brother Frank in on it. Active opera

Consult on Conditions in Bosota.

Washington, July s.-William Nelson
Cromwell. counsel for the Panama Can
al company, had an hours conference
yesterday with Acting Secretary Loom
is respecting conditions in Bogota so
far as they affect the pending canal
treaty.
Mr. Cromwell has received cable
gram from Bogota stating that the
treaty was presented to the Colombian
senate July 2, and was to be taken
up for consideration July 4. AS less
than two weeks remain Of the special
session Of the Colombian congress. 1t is
apprehended here that the treaty can
not receive final action in that time
If not, then the regular session be-
ginning on the goth inst. would displace
the special order which gave the treaty
the right of first consideration. 1t Is
believed here, however, that the diff
ficulty in that case will be met by
renewal OF the special order, to govern
the proceedings in regular session.

nativity o, the Potato.

There is as much mystery us history
connected with the common tuber CALI
ed the potato. Its nativity, original
place in the kingdom of nature and
several other things regarding it are
still open questions. AS to its nativity,
the weight of argument seems to favor
the tropica. or subtropical regions of
America. There Is tradition that the
vines once grew to monstrous size and
that the balls" were of the ''bigness
Of melons," and at that time the roots
were not tubers. the edible parts grow
ing among he branches. 1t seems that
they were first introduced into Europe
in the year 1866.
Haskell's Roots and Wild Plants
says, "Wamkins first fetched queer,
dubious root out of America which
some called 'bodado,' while others,
who had heard the Peruvians mention
1t, spoke of it as q potato" Periam's
Cyclopedia OF Agriculture says that Sir
John Wamlins found 1t growing wild
near Santa Fc de Bogotn at an alti-
tude of 5000 to $4,000 feet. He also
says that it was fetched out Of Amer
ica' at about the time settled upon by
Haskell--viz. in the year 1865.

A Royal Romance.

Carmen Sylvia, the royal authoress.
met her husband, the king Of Rouma-
MIA, in quite n romantic way. AS q
girl of seventeen she was running down
the staircase of the palace at Berlin
when her foot slipped on the marble,
and she would have fallen to the floor
below, but at the moment Prince
Charles Of Hohenzollern stepped from
an anteroom and caught her In his
arms. She did not accept him, although
he made her the offer at once. In joke
for it was then most unlikely-she
said she preferred to remain queen OF
herself. but if she became queen Of any
country at all she would prefer Rou-
mania. Eight years afterward the
beautiful Carmen was married to
Prince Charles. who had been proclaim
ed king of Roumania, and thus she re-
allied her ambition.

Innocent love-making is natural in the

by an adventure that happened 10 q

Until comparatively recent times
there was medical prejudice against

APPEAR IN WHITE DUCK.
Moody Sets the Fashion for Washing
ton Officials.


Washington, July 9.-When Secre-
tary Moody appeared at his office one
day last week in q suit of white duck
the coat resembling the regulation navy
blouse for officers, with high collar,
and buttoned to the chin, everybody
told him it was an appropriate costume
for hot weather. Mr.. Moody had his
doubts as to the propriety of a civilian
of his official standing wearing a semi
military dress. but his doubts vanished
when his friends complmented him on
his appearance, and he has made up
his mind to wear white duck all sum-
mer.
1t has come to light since Mr.. Moody
donned this costume in Washington,
that Joseph Cannon, speaker to-be of
the house of representatives, has sew
eral white duck suits just like those of
the secretary of the navy. This is hard
10 believe for Mr.. Cannon has always
clung even in the hottest weather, to
dignified black, but the men who saw
Mr. Moody and Mr.. Cannon when they
We're making their cruise in the West
Indies last winter vouch for the state
ment that Mr.. Cannon was attired in
white from head to foot and frequently
was mistaken for naval officer.

Moody's guests, wore white duck also.

veIopments Awaited.

Washington, July 9.-Secretary
Moody will order warship to Venezu-
ella to secure the release of five Amer
lean steamers detained at San Feman-
do and Bolivar by the Venezuelan revo-
lutionary forces. The orders will be is
sued today to the Bancroft.
w. w. Russell American charge
d'atfaires at Caracas, advised the de-
partment of state yesterday that the
president of the Orinoco Steamship
company, an American concern, had in
formed him that two of his company's
steamers were detained by the Venezu-
elan government forces at San Fernan-
do. and three steamers were held at
Bolivar.
The gunboat Bancroft will be ordered
10 Bolivar, as there is fear the revoiu-
tionists will harm the vessels held by
them. The Bancroft on Friday was
ordered from San Juan, p. r.. to Port
of Spain, Trinidad. and reached Port
of Spain yesterday.
Information received last week that
there was much insurgent activity
which promised fighting and possible
danger to American interests in eastern
Venezuela, was the cauae OF the gov
ernment's action in sending the Ban
croft to Port of Spain, which is only
short distance from the Venezuelan
coast. The warship was directed to re-
main there to await developments in
Venezuela.
No details of the seizure Of the ORR
noco Steamship Companys vessels have
been received here, and officials are at a
loss to explain the course OF the gov
eminent and the insurgents. One sup
position is that the vessels detained at
San Fernando were charged with vio-
llating the blockade deereed by the
Venezuelan government. The United
States government never has recog-
nized this blockade and will not do so.
The Bancrofts commander. Lieuten-
ant Commander A. +. Culver, will
probably be instructed 10 demand the
release of the detained or seized vessels.
and in the event of refusa. TO take them
BY force. 1t is believed, however. that
| the matter will not result In a hostile
clash between the Bancroft and the
Venezuelan government forces or the
| insurgents.
The insurgents hold Bolivar. Ad-
vices were received at the state depart
nent yesterday from the American
Legation at Caracas that President Cas-
| tro had sent an expedition of about
| 5000 men to retake Bolivar and sup
press the insurgents in that LOCALITY.
The insurgents are represented to be
between 5000 and 1000 strong. They
are commanded by General Rolando.
