Chic; lgo, Aug. 5.-The local officials

iourn to prepare for calling strike of
the 1000 tralnmen and conductors en-

president for the ensuing year and
it is hoped subsequent years, Freder-
icll Denning Tucker, who comes from
the University of Minnesota, where
he has been the head of the depart
ment of agriculture for the past three
years with great success. The board
of trustees believe they have made
a great find in the new president, as
he is most flatteringly endorsed by
President Northrup of the Minnesota
State university, who encouraged the
new president to follow his own incli-
nations in accepting the presidency,
although he was 10th to have him
leave the Minnesota institution, where
he has performed such abundantly
good service.

he resumed his educational work
when DR.. Northrup called him to the

Now then, the SENTINEL will inform the Journal that if it will move for or ganizing south eastern Alaska into a territory, will gladly join hands and stick to it tighter than wood- tick.

The appointment of q delegate to congress by three or five men in a district that contains 60000 intelligent American citi- 6enl Senator Beveridge is certain ly entitled to the eake-bakery and all-and a big bouquet thrown in! There is one thing that some mem bers of both houses of congress should learn: Alaska is not an Indian territory to have an agent placed over it at the dictation of one or two persons. The people are mostly native-born whites and are well up regarding a republican form of government. Better, q thousand times, that this delegate bill be torn into fragments and scattered to the four winds than that t be foistcd upon the people with the appointive clause,

In the death of Capt. Wilson not only is Wrangell a sufferer but the whole of southeastern Alaska will feel and notice it, as for years he has been an active factor in nearl y all of the canneries of southeastern Alaska, in supplying boxes for the packs of salmon. And not only that, but his generous hand has alleviated the wants of many a man that the public knows naught of. The public can truly say, a true beneiactor is gone! Hail! and Farewell!!
