PROMISE TO CLEAN UP.
Bremerton Council Again Makes a
Move.

Bremerton, Wash, May 27.-After
six months of temporizing with the ul-
timatum delivered by the navy de prart-
ment, to the effect that, unles the de-
partment,s demands were complied
with, the United States navy yard
would be practically closed to all war
ships, the people OF Bremerton have at
last come TO realization of the sitna-
ton gu all it's seriousness, and the Off
Gals have at the eleventh hour taken
setps to comply fully with ali the re-
quirements of the government.
In IA written communication to the
commandment of the yard, Mayor Crox-
ton has notified that official that the
council, which met in extra session
last evening, has passed resolutions
which will not only result III the re-
moval of every sa Don on Front street
within the near future, but which will
place the body on record .as pledged
against the issuance OF any more saloon
licenses in any portion OF the town.
The latter resolution was passed at the
instance of the three recalcitrant conn
cilmen who broke faith with the gov
eminent and voted for the renewal of
the Front street licenses, after assuring
Congressman Humphrey that these sa-
looms would be denied the right to con-
tinue after their old licenses expired.
While it was not passed for the prma-
ry object of complying with the depart
ment's demands, but in reality to wreak
vengeance on side street saloon men
who, they charge, assisted in the agta-
ton, it nevertheless will serve the pur-
pose of Transforming shortly the saloon
ridden town of Bremerton from place
Of 200 population with sixteen sa-
looms, to closed town, where no liquor
will be lawfully sold.

HANNA WILL NOT OPPOSE.
Withdraws Objection to Endorse
ment of Roosevelt.

Cleveland, May Ex-senator Hanna
has decided to offer no further opposi-
ton TO the proposed resolution in the
coming stat4 Republican convention
indorsing the candidacy of President
Roosevelt for another term. This &C.
ton was decided late yesterday after
mono. When asked if he had heard
from President Roosevelt with refer
ence to the discussion concerning his
attitude in connection with the resolu-
ton Senator Hanna made the following
statement to the Associated Press rep
resentative:
81 am in receipt of a telegram from
President Roosevelt which indicates to
me his desire to have the endorsement
OF the Ohio Republican state conven-
ton IF his administration and candl-
dacy. In view of this l shall not OPP
pose such action by the convention,
and l have telegraphed the president
to that effect
1t is the general belief among those
close to Senator Hanna that notwith-
standing his action he still doubts the
ACCESSIBILITY OF resolution indorsing
President Roosevlet's candidacy by this
years convention. But it is pointed
out, in deferring to the president s
judgment and expressed wishes, Mr..
Hanna demonstrates that his original
position in the matter was at no time
prompted by personal antagonism to
President Roosevelt.

BRITISH COLUMBIA PREMIER UN-
DER FIRE.
Dissolution of Parliament Not Prob
able at Present, but 1t Is Likely
That a New Ministry Will BE
Named--Chargcs Against Prior
to Be Investigated.

Victoria, E. c., May 30.-By vote
of - to 10. the honse refused to grant
supplies to Mr.. Prior, and the premier
thereupon hurried to the government
house to seek the governor, only to be
met by the statement from his honor
that Mr.. Curtis had acquainted him
with certain charges that were preferred
against Prior by the newspapers. and
on the basis of which Curtis would at
once seek the appointment OF special
committee to investigate them.
In view OF this charge hanging over
his head, Prior did not seek dissou-
ton, or if he did so it was denied. At
any rate he came back to the legisia-
ture, explained the situation and con-
Cured in the appointment of the COM
mittee.
The charges it is said the committee
will investigate are that, when acting
chief commissioner, he was party to
acqnainting his own firm with the fig
ures in the tenders for the Chimney
creek bridge, and that they put in a
lower tender, securing the contract.
The committee asked for was apoint-
ed at once and the investigation jmme-
diately began, continuing until IL p.
m. without final result. L. is admitted
that Prior, as acting chief commits
sioner, had four tenders submitted to
him on the scheduled form. He gave
instructions that it should be kept open
until his firm, known as f. q Prior Il
Co., had an opportunity to tender. This
was done and his firm submitted II ten
der $40 less than the next lowest, and
was awarded the contract. Prior claims
he gave none of the figures out to any
member of his firm. On the other
hand, the chief engineer in the depart
ment says all the papers were submit
ted second time to Prior to enable
him to make up tender.

DUST AT DAW SON
Record breaking Day $ in Receipts
of G Oid.

of GOid.
Vancouver, B. c., May 30.-A spe-
cial from Dawson saws: Never before
in the history of banking in Dawson
have there been such heavy purchases
of gold dust as yesterday, which was
the banner day for gold receipts in the
history of the Yukon. The amounts
purchased by the two banks here, to
say nothing of the hundreds of thou
sands left on deposit, aggregated in the
neighborhoot of half million dollars.
Today the purchases are not quite so
heavy as were those of yesterday, al
though for the two days they will ag-
gregate from $500, 900 to 5000 900.
This amount, in connection with the
large amounts deposited with the banks
for safe keeping, will aggregate up
wards of 81 $50, 900 worth of gold dust
brought into Dawson from the various
creeks in the short space of two days.
Compared with this time last year
the receips of COL at the local banks
up to date this eeason are greatly in
excess. Present indications are that
the Yukon's output of gold this season
will exceed that of last from one mil.
lion to three million dollars. The tone
of confidence in the future of the camp
is most marked.
