 In fact the members became so enthused over matter as to not be satisfied with listening to brilliant speeches during one day but extended the time into tomorrow, and they may not exhaust the subject even then. The subject for this outburst of oratory was the indigent Confederate soldier and plea for more aid. The matter came up through the governors veto message submitted several days ago on the S100,000 appropriation and substitut- ing $50 GOO.
 The light to non-concur in the govern ors amendment and pass the bill, the gov. ernor's veto notwithstanding, is one of the prettiest that has been made in the senate and has developed that there are some speakers in the upper house who can warm up'' to a flow of oratory that is most pleasing to the ear. While all Of the speeches made today are worthy special note, Senator Perry Thomas of Barbour is generally conceded to have been the bright particular star" This, too, when he had the most trying side of the question. He favored the upholding of a governor who had displayed the hackboae 10 protect the state treasury in the face of such a popular opposition as that carried by the bill His speech will be recalled as one of the best efforts made during the session of the senate in | 1903.

FIRST ONE
Spokane Arrives With the
 Excursion.

The Spokane, with the first excur- sion of the season, arrived yesterday at noon, and got away last night at 10 o'clock. There were 6S passengers on the steamer. nearly 60 of whom were making the round trip.
 The Spokane had about 300 tons of freight on board, 25O of which was for the interior. She brought up two days mail. There was some delay in deliv- ering the letter mail, six sacks of which was stored behind an obstruction which hid 1t from view, and as no way bill &C., eompanied it, 1t was overlooked until found
 There were ten excursionists to take the Spokane here for the trip to SitkA by way of Glacier bay and back % Juneau.
 The excurslonists on the Spokane had rainy weather all the way up and have no, seen Alaska at its best. About & of them took a special train to the sum init yesterday afternoon.
 The smallness of the first excursion Is attributed to the fact that the seasor ia late ID the East and to the further fact that 1t is more than two week. earlier than heretofore.

PICKS UP Hunker Creek Looking Good
 Again.

Abig stretch of country along Hunk CT between Hester and Independence creek has been attracting stream oi stakers the last ten days or two weeks and still has it's fascination for stam' peders. Scores of claims have been staked since the first little stampede be- gan. the latter part of April, and che relocation recorder has been kept husl- ling to keep up with tho processions. Although the greater number came In at the beginning, three to twelve a day have been applying for grants daily or late says the Dawson News.
 The exploiting of this strip of eoun- try is an example of how valuable the once abandoned land may become, after a long interval, in the estimation of the individual miner. It is said that when the ground was first staked in 1898 one man put down hole on the big ha' area. and failing to find anything left it. An others left their property on hls cursory search. Not long ago some new men appeared, and after si"king in the vicinity struck pay running from sev' eral cents toas high as sl4 to the bucket The locality is on fat, but the elaimi run back as far as the eighth and nintf tiers.
