7YVN CANAL DELEGATIONS HAVE
 SITUATION IN HAND AT JUNEAU
agay and Haines Republicans Will Probably Able to Dictate to District Convention NTaIony People Will Sacrifice COnvio
 Hons to Beat J. G. Held For National Committeeman

It is believed that John P. Maloney is out of the running for national conn mitteemau, and it is said he is willing to throw his support from Douglas, Treadwell, Valdez and elsewhere with the independent delegations, whose first object is territorial government in order to defeat John c Held.
 There was meeting of the Alaskan Republican Central Committee this ai- ternoon, and H. B. LeFevre, of skag- way, John Lyons, of Valdez, and Geo Irving, of Ketchikan, were formally elected to membership. This puts the central committee in the hands of inc dependent delegations under the leader ship of Thomas A. Mmquam, of Haines. Held bolted the meeting Of the commit- tee.
 The fight for the temporary organi- zation will be a fight between the Held faction and the independentde delegations.

 This news came over the Dominion wire, which came up yesterday after noon again The press of commercial business was so great, however, that the regular press matter was again crowded over for the day, and the elec- tion news came only through private sources.
 The elections were held last Tuesday, and in addition to several interesting municipal contests, including elections for governor and other state officers in Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky, Iowa, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and other States.

In this contest it is probable that the skagway Haines, Wrangell, Ketchi- kan, Valdez, Treadwell Douglas and many smaller delegations will stand to- gether.
 The Lynn canal delegations, under the leadership of Marquam, and the extreme southern delegations, under the leadership of Irving, the former with l5 votes and the latter with IA. win be factors in any combination. They are solidly for territorial govern ment.
 The probable candidates for dele gates to the national convention, are John G. Held, of Juneau; W. D. Grant, of Wrangel; J. W. Iyey, of Kyak; George Irving, of Ketchikan; Judge Johnson and W. T. Perkins, of Nome; Judge Brown and several dark horses.

Coal Prices to Advance.

KANSAS Cry, July 23.-Because OF
an increase OF about cents ton In
the wages paid coal miners Of the
southwest the operators have, it is
stated, decided to increase the cost Of
fuel to consumers from so cents to OIL
q ton. The increase will apply to all
kinds of coal used by householders and
small manufacturing plants, and it Is
probable that lbefore winter sets In
there will be further increase in the
prices. A big operator says that a 60
rate for coal which sold last year for
"a was not improbable.
Operators must protect them
selves, /" he said. "The new scale for
mulated at the conference of miners
and operators at Plttsburg, Kansas,
will increase the cost Of production Of
'run-of-mine' coal 25 cents q ton. In
that amount is included the increase
in the wages OF the miners, which will
average cents ton In the mines In
this part Of the country, and the in
crease in the wages Of the other em-
ployes engaged in handling the coal

DEPOT Site LOCATED.
THE ALTON SELECTS JEFFERSON
STREET FOR NEW ALTON
BURLINGTON UNION
STATION.
TO FINISH IN TWELVE MONTHS.
President FELTON,, of the Alton, Was
Here Thursday and Authorized
Industrial Agent Wilson to
Announce the Selection to
the Commercial Club
Supposed That
Wabash win
Also Build
Depot.
70 FINISH IN TWELVE MONTHS.

President FELTON,, of the Chicago &
Alton Railway Company, was in Mex
leo Thursday afternoon and authorized
Industrial Agent e, S. Wilson to an
nounce to the Mexico Commercial
Club that the Alton had selected the
Jefferson street site for the new AL
ton-Burlington union station. Mr..
FELTON, suggested, however, that the
Commercial Club draw up a definite
proposition Of the gift of the site and
submit 1t to the railroad company.
This is buta formality, and the sta
tion will undoubtly be built on the
north side of the Chicago & Alton
tracks and on the east side OF Jeffer-
son street.
The citizens have donated sum of
money to the Commercial Club sufii-
|cient to buy about 1S0xlS0 feet of
ground where the old Wallace stock
yards are now standing. This with
the ground already within the Chicago
& Alton right'of-way will be space
and to spare for large and handsome
station, such as it Is the intention Of
the Alton to build. 1t is understood
that by the agreement between the rail-
road company and the Commercial Club
the Alton will complete the new
union station within one year. 1t is
also understood that this station is to
cost all the way from s25, 200 TO $40, 900,
and will be modern and complete in
every detail. 1t 1t also probable that
both the Alton and Burlington will
maintain Offices in the new building.
WABASH MAY BUILD ALSO.
1t has been understood in an indefi-
mite way since the idea Of the Alton
and Burlington building station that
the Wabash would also have new
depot In order to keep pace with the
other roads. The Wabash now owns
sufficient ground for this purpose just
south of their tracks and on both
sides Of Jefferson street. This piece
Of property is directly opposite the
Alton-Burlington tract.

CASUAL observers noted with sur
prise about noon to-day that the
clock in the dome of the Court House
was deeply affected over something.
With deathly white face the old yete-
ran, who has watched over Mexico's
veal and woe for many years, held up
both hands, seemingly in holy horror.
Investigation proved that the snow
white appearance of the old fellows
four faces was caused by a new coat
of paint and that he was throwing ur
both hands in surprise at the alacrity
displayed by steet workmen in drop
ping their tools when the l2-o'clocS
