A sensational episode took place in the district court yesterday afternoon which, it is said, may result in disbar- mont proceedings being commenced against two well known attorneys, w. T. Love and John l.. McGinn.
 The interest in the episode was ac- centuated this morning, when McGinn was put on the witness stand in the case of Nilima vs. Shea, as adminis- trator of the estate of J. r. Johansen, deceased, and the Hot Air Mining Co.,, and he admitted that the attorneys for Nilima, Love and himself, had caused one J. NJ. Johansen to go to the attor- neys for the Hot Air Mining Co. and offer to make certain statements for q consideration which would accrue to the benefit of the company. The sum, it is stated, was about $l,000.
 Last Sunday night Johansen, who claims to be distant relative of J. r. Johansen, deceased, went with num- Der of others to Judge Soderberg S office. Judge Soderberg, J. E. Fenton and Ira D. OrtOn are counsel for the Hot Air Mining Co. Johansen had been d witness for the plaintiff, but neither Judge Soderberg nor Judge

Fenton recognized him at first. A ste- no nosrapher had been sent for. and Jo- hansen after talking a while refused to 90 on with his statement Finally he said that he wished to see Judge SOder- berg alone. The judge told him the others of the party, among whom was Hans Samuelson, could retire, and he and Johansen could converse in Swed
 ish, as neither Judge Fenton nor the stenographer understood that lan- guage. The conversation was then conducted in Swedish, and Johanseu, it is alleged, offered to sign any state ment of facts Judge Soderberg might want and also to change certain statements that he had made while on the witness stand, especially one to the effect that John r. JoEansen had told him in 1901, when the former wanted q Clay" on the Hot Air bench, that he could not give it to him, as he had a partner, Nilima, or something to that effect. Judge Soderberg told him that he would not procure such testimony for the entire Hot Air claim, and he lectured Johansen for his course.
 Of late, it seems, it has been bruited about that J. P. Johansen was mur-

JUST A TASTE
 OF POLITICS Republicans and Democrats Will Elect Delegates to National
 Conventions.

There promises to be considerable interest evoked in the election of two delegates to attend the republican na- tional convention next year. Already, it is said. secret caucuses have been held by a number of republicans who consider themselves of the faithful, and plan of campaign, whose prime object it is to defeat the other fellows, has been outlined. At least such is the story that is. being told. It is pos sible, however, that nothing but the sweetest harmony will mark the de- Alterations of the party.
 Among those mentioned as .excel- lent material for delegates are Judge Johnson, Col. w. T. Perkins, Judge L.. B. Shepherd, Col. Grigsby and Major J. r. Clum.
 A primary election for the election of delegates to the local convention will be held about October l. The con- vention will meet on October ).
 Local democrats have as yet taken no action toward holding convention for the election of delegates. Dr. Ed. F. Hill stated yesterday that conven- ton would certainly be called if no other instructions were received in the next mail from Judge Williams, na- tional committeeman for Alaska, who resides at Juneau.

 Information.

Washington, September 5-Patiently awaiting advices from Minister Leish- man, Secretary Hay was at the state department somewhat longer than usual today, but neither from Constan- tinople nor from Beirut was further news of the situation received. Rear Admiral Cotton's cablegram, dated at Beirut today, merely announced the ar rival of the Brooklyn and San Fran cisco at that port. No word has been received from the Machias, which was due at Port Said today. It is expect ed that q report from Leishman will reach Washington over night, and up- on it's nature will depend the action by the state department as to the further protection of the American legation and consul general in Constantnople.
 Until Leishman advises the authori- ties here that the sultan is unable to cope with the situation and that the legation and consulate are consequent- ly endangered, the state department does not feel warranted in calling on the navy department for ships to pro ceed to the Dardanelles.

 Judge Soderberg then told J. NJ. Johansen that he might see his son, Walter H. Soderberg the judge think ing that Johansen might disclose some thing bearing on the rumor noted above.
 Yesterday afternoon Johansen was put on the witness stand and questioned as to his coming to Judge Soderberg's office. Then McGinn took him in hand and from the cross exam nation it seemed to develop that the attorneys for the plaintiff had sent the witness to the Hot Air people for q specific pur- pose.
 This morning McGinn was put on the stand by the defendants. and it further developed from his statements that what had been gleaned from Johansen was correct. McGinn said that his in- tention was to procure JOhansen to go to the Hot Air people, and make an offer to Mir. Soderberg, as attorney for them to sell certain testimony. getthe money. which was intended to be paid into the court, and the whole thing exposed.
 As result it k now stated that dis barment proceedings will be begun against the plainuif's attorncye.

RICH CLAIM
Suit Over the "CaribOu
 Bill" Bench.

No. bench on Nlkkela Gulch, known as Caribou Bills claim, upon which phenomenally rich pay was found last summer, is in litigation. A suit was filed yesterday in the district court by Albert Nordstrom against William Deterring, better known as "Caribou Bill, to compel the latter to mako an accounting of the gold dust taken from the claim since May, 1902. PIaintitl' Nordstrom in hiseomplaint alleges that he has owned q one-quarter interest in the claim ever since March 6, 1901; that since May, 1902. defendant Det- erring has extracted large quantities of gold, approximately Sl00,000, and applied it to his own use: that he has refused on demand to account for any portion of the gold dust taken from the claim. Plaintiff alleges that he has been out of this judicial division since 1902, and he now asks that the defend- ant be required to account for one- quarter of the gold, less the cost of mining it from the ground.

4 RICH
 SECTION Is the Mount Mckinley Country. GOLD AND SILVER Timber and Agricultural Land in Abundance, But Practically
 Inaccessible.
GOLD AHD SILVER

A prcspectar named T. J. Minsse, who spent a year in the Mt. Mckinley country, states that it is highly min eralized region. A number of Iros- pectols, he sals, are in that section. The creeks arc gold bearing, but owing to the renotene,s of that section from a base of supplies real mining or pros- perting is almost Impossible.
 Minsse says that he and his partner Burns, year and half ago went up he Tanana tU tue Kanlishna river and thence up that stream, which heads in the Mt. Mckinley region. For a year they prospected and hunted. Mnsse states that thcg found gold in every creek which they prosTected. He also alleges that vein of nickel has been found on the Kuskokwim side of the divide, as we'll as fine samples of silver glance. The formation in the Mt. Me Kinley couuty i5 schist, lime, slate and porphyry. Diack and ruby sands are found in the creek in abundance, and magnetic iron orc float IS plentiful. Minsse also asserts that float tellurium and cinnabar are also found.
 The sides of Mt. Mckinley are scanned with c,Cv.,.es Of unknown depth. The country is well timhcred, there are fine agricultural possibilities, and moose. boar. caribou and small game are plentiful.
 Given fair transportation facilities, Min-sc. whO is now .u Nome, says that one rf the richest mineral and timber -,cl!u. in Alaska would be opened up, and there can be little or no develop. ment of a confessedly rich section until a railroad pcnetrates that country from the North Pacific coast.

This was bum ble bees nest, which he found in the bottom of an empty pickle barrel. He took the wax and melted it into senu- inc cake of beeswax, weighing about half pound.

the statement was made that the Unit ed States would not be prevented by any existing treaty taking adequate measures for the protection of the lega- tion and consulate general in Constanti- nople.
 Until the gravity of the situation warrants the dispatch of ships to the Dardanelles, however, the state de- partment does not wish to announce its plan of action in the event of such an emergency. If objection were offered to the Machias passing the Dardanello, steam launches from the Brooklyn, it is pointed out, could be used for the pur- pose.
