The conservative party of the Atlin district held its nominating convention at Atlin on last "Wednesday and named Dr. Young, a practicing physician of Atlin, as the standard bearer. John Irving, who with c, W. D..

He was at White horse when the convention was held.

There win probably be a sweeping change in the personnel ot the army officers stationed at this place. Capt W. F. Richardson, Capt F. B. Audrus and Lieut.. Elliot Caziarc, all Of this city. have been ordered Co report Co the president of the examining board for instructions. The meaning of the order Is that ali are Co be examined for promotion. This may take some oi them at least from Skagway.
 Capt. W. P. Richardson, who stand, very close To the top Of tho list of inc iantry captains, received his commis- sion a, a captain little more than five years ago. He will probably be made a major in January. It will probably not result lu any change in his assign meut at the preseu; time. Though he will probably bc transferred from the Eighth regiment Co some other, he will complete the work of experimenting the construction ot the post at Haincs.
 Capt. F. R. Andrus is less than 30 score of numbers behind Capt. Rich ard,0n, and his commission dates the same day. His duties as % major will probably take him away from Skog- way.
 Lieut.. Caziarc win be examined for promotion from @ second lieutenant Co a first.
