When asked about the prob able fate of the Dawson City, Capt. Futile shook his head. The Dawson City had about p passengers when she left Nome. among them her owner, Felix Brown. She also had party of prospectors, headed by Billy Langdon. bound for POlt Moller. It was not the intention of Captain Hansen, of the Dawson City, to make Dutch harbor,

 A dispatch published in these col ums from Seattle stated that the Siglin from Kuskokwim had reached Port Townsend. This was not the case, as the vessel taken for the Siglin proved to be the schooner Volante from Nome. The Siglin is believed to be lost.
 Miner Bruce thinks it probable that the Dawson City may have been blown to the Siberian shore or St. Lawrence island. The steamer had about 60 days provisions. Besides Felix Brown, her owner, other known passengers were Geo. Schultz, brother of Nose Schultz, manager of Gus Browns, Mrs. Hansen, wife of Capt. Hansen. the master Chas.

Charge Against Capt.

Seattle. Dec. 4.-Judge John H. AL len, of the legal titm of Allen & Allen and Stratton. which represented MOhns X Co.,. of San Francisco. in the pro ceedings against c. s. Rlackett and Capt. w. H. Ferguson, stated yester- afternoon that there was absolutely NC basis for criminal charge against Judge Ferguson. He deprecated the report teleorap phed from Victoria to the effect that the two men had been arrested on d charge of embezzlement, and declared the proofs did not war rant any such action.
 II have thoroughly investigated the case. and find neither Mir. Blackett nor Cap. Ferguson are guilty of any crim- inal charge,' said Judge Allen yestep- day. "lt is against my policy tO"Eieske any statement to the newspapers, but in this instance, I believe Capt. Ferg- ueon and MT. Blackett have been in- jured, and it is due them that state ment be made.

F'er9u- son. but also have heard the statements of the attorney who represented Mohss X Co. at Nome. l am thoroughly cor vinced that there is nothing that could warrant any criminal charge being brought,again,t Judge Ferguson. Ev- erything appears to be regular in his dealings. So far as Mir. Rsckett is concerned. he represented Judge Fers- u>On as an attorney.

Washington, D.C.. Dec. 2.-President RoosevelJ's message which was trans mitted to congress today is brief doc- ument, but it succinctly deals with the important public questions of the day. Among the salient points of the mes- sage are: Regulation of corporations, and congress is urged to enact laws for their governments, and if this should be found inadequate, then an amendment
 to the constitution is favored: the wis dom of the protective tariff is pointed out and the president says: ITO re- move the tariff as a preventive measure directed against trusts would inevitably result in ruin to the weaker competi- tors who are struggling against them.''

 ALASKA The Juneau Grand Jury Worked Hard.
MANY INDICTMENTS
Gamblers at Juneau and Skag. way Indicted by the Score
 --NO WOmenindiCted.

Juneau. Dec. le.-Pursuant to in dictments that had been turned in by the grand jury the gamblers of Juneau were arrested today on bench warra ntS issued by the district court. Bail in each case Was placed at 8j00, which was furnished by all who were arrest ed.
 Indictments on the start were a mat ter of necessity, as the indicting evi- dence became d record in the court during the trial of the men who held up the black-jack game at Douglas opera house. A new impetus was given to the general indicting of gamblers by the failure to close the games in Juneau, although it is certain thaGa plain hunch was given to the proprietors of all gam bling rooms.
 A number of gamblers who are main talnlng respectable families in the city are notrarrested. It is believed that indictments have been returned against them.
 So far none of the women have been indicted. excepting girl at the Doug las opera house. who was accused before the grand jury of robbing one of her patrons. It is thought, however, that this indictment will lead to further in- veotigati0n and that trouble is brewing for a number of other women of the un- fortunate class.
 Juneau. Dec. l3.-The grand jury at Juneau is not doing a thing. lndict. ments are believed to have been re- turned against every saloon man who has bawdy house in the annex. Fred Rasmussen was also found guilty on a second trial.
 It is believed Judge Brown will give heavy sentence and also take away | his saloon license.
 Guise, of Douglas, will undoubtedly be found guilty and get sentence. Other trials will soon be in progress.
 Mayor Irving. of ketchikan, was ar rested and let out under heavy bail for tamperlng with the grand jury. He as said to have asked the jurymen to hurry through 4bis ease so he could re- | turn home. His fMendS say his arrest is the outcome of spite work of District Attorney Fredrch, who has d personal feeling against Irving.
 Skagway, Dec. 1.-The gambling fraternity of this city has just received severe shock. Twelve warrants ar rived on the Dirigo for the arrest of the principal gamblers here. The fol-

THE LADIES
Minstrel Performance a
 Great Success.

"Standing room only" was the sign which might have Leen hung out at A. B. hall last night, the occasion he- ing the minstrel performance given un- der the auspices of the Ladies' Guild. The big hall was packed, every avail able foot of standing room even being occupied. All the boxes were filled as well, and in fact the house was filled to over1lOwing.
 The performance was good and held the interest of the big audience throughout, and the audience was gen erous in it's applause. The program vas an extended one, and the fair min strels were evidently determined that all should get the worth of their money. The lOcal.. ..gags and jokes were good and many of them brought down the house, while the topical songs also made decided hits. With the excep- ton of Mrs. T. M. Reed who acted as interloculor, the ladies were all in "black face," and their most intimate friends would fail to recognize them, so practically their identity was un- known, at least to but few. Every thing moved withouta hitch and, taken altogether, the event was the most unique and clever ever witnessed in Nome.

 London, Dec. 16.--The Associated Press has reason to believe that orders will be or have been sent to the British commander in Venezuelan waters to take no further aggressive action pend- ing the decision on the proposal for arbl- tration.
