THE DRIFT OF POLITICS
BEFORE THE CONVENTION

, There is bound to be less zest in the
selection of vice president at Chicago
1t looks as though Senator Fairbanks
would be the man, but no one can say
there will not be something of tussle
of popular interest before the thing is
. settled
1t is almost safe to say that the. con-
, vention will not pass off without some
excitement When 1000 delegates get
together in National convention, there is
no telling what some delegate or set OF
delegates may attempt that will prove a
diversion. The program cannot be ab-
solutely all arranged in advance and it
is the unexpected that makes the outlook
interesting. President Roosevelt will re-
main in the city, while the convention
is in session. All the important details
of the proceedings will be communicated
to him Immediately. When the commit
tee of the convention comes here to no.
tify him of his nomination, he will be
ready with ringing speech on political
questions, which will command the at
tenion of the country.
THE DEMOCRATS.
ington of any prominence is trying to get
the time and to scrape together q the
money for trip TO St. Louis conven-
ton week They are anticipating a lively
old time, because so little OF that con-
vention's program is settled and be-
cause there Is so much promise of
spirited tussle between the factions. The
Democratic leaders say that it is their
purpose to have just as orderly a con-
vention as the Republicans will have at
Chicago. They want TO make an impress
sion upon the country by their orderly
transaction of important party business
even under adverse circumstances. Sem
ator Bailey, of Texas, who will be one
of the presiding officers OF the ST Louis
convention, is very much bent upon its
being an orderly affair. He wants no
body kicked out OF the hall and no scenes
which could lead to unfavorable COM
ment or to bitter feelings among Demo-
Gratis Mr. Bailey has been in Washing
ton for several days and has expressed
his views on that subject TO more than
one OF his callers. But It remains to be
seen whether the Democratic leaders viii
be able TO have their way IN that par
ticular
If Judge Parker is to be nominated,
as seems entirely probable. the New York
crowd will have a program for the con-
vention pretty we'll outlined. They have
already been conferring with various
leaders about a running mate. An au-
shoritative word here IS that it will likely !
be Marshall Field. the millionaire mer-
chant of Chicago. Judge Parker's friends
nave recently made second proposal to !
him which Mr. Field has looked upon !

the batteries will be replaced and the
boat will be ready for war.
While no one connected win the Lake
Company will say what Japan paid for
the Protector, it is understood that the
price was between $225ooo and $25o,ooo.
This was the AMOUNT the company asked
the United States Government for the
Protector, and it is likely the japanese
Government secured her fer about the
same sum.
Draughtsmen are busy at the office of
the Lake Company, in this city, on plans
for number of other boats of the Pro-
tector type. 1t is hardly probable that
these other boats will be constructed here,
as it IS deemed more practicable to take
the plans and necessary experts to Japan
and build the boats there The Russian
Government at one time was negotiating
with Simon Like, the inventor, for the
Protector.

interference in local affairs.
 There are in Valdez @ SMALL bunch of disgruntled people who think they have kick coming against Judge Wickersham, because he was broad-minded enough not to mix up in our petty affairs.
 While we have no policemen for these people to tell their troubles to, they will find in going over the law that the city council will do instead, and that body is vested with full power to act. If their methods do not suit, then let the dissatisfied ones make it an issue at the next election, and like good citizens abide by the decision of the majority, but for goodness sake don't put the blame where it don't belong.

General Gre ely, one of Alaskas best and most energetic friends, in the course of a speech before the Alaska club at Seattle a short time since was asked by a member his opinion as to the feasibility of building railroad from Valdez to the interior and replied as follows:
 "If the government could be in- duced to subscribe half a million dollars as a subsidy towards the construction of the road I am cer- tain that it could he completed, or if the government gave an equal subsidy to any other prospective roads 1 believe that the people would rise the occasion and build the roads, themselves. All that is now necessary is sufficient money to get the thing going.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

En his charge to the grand jury hst October, Judge Wickersham showed his extensive knowledge of ahe law and of the people when he instructed to allow municipalities to look after the petty offsnses com nittsd within the. incorporated limits of the town. His address n part to that effect was as follows:
 Ut has always been the policy of the United States to. encourage and aid her citizens residing in the berpiteries i'm their efforts to. estab- establish local self government In 1899, acting in place ef terri torial legislature, congress enacted a penal code for Alaska, and in S9OO Q civil code. The latter made special provision for local self government in all permanent communities in Alaska having population of more than 900 in- habitants. by the organization thereof into Q town and school dis srict with certain specified powers and duties At the last session of congress. this aot was amended, greatly enlarsing the powers of towns and giving them and the school districts included therein all of the license fees paid by the inhabitants thereof. It also em- powered towns.tO elect a local po- lice magistrate te declare what offenses- should be pun ishable as misdemeanOns and. to provide a penalty therefor, by fine not exceeding 200 dollars. or i'm Prisonment in the local jail not exceeding ninety days, on bothsach fine sn imprisonment"
 "You should not therefore bur den this court with indictments for these minor offenses committed within the town of Valdez. which the town may, by ordinance. passedi Sy the town council, lawfully pun ish in the police court;. but you should lssve the.punishmsnt thene- ot to be inflicted by the local court and local officers under the laws passed by the town legislature"
 Congress at it's last session pass cd a bill, introduced by Senator Nelson, entitled "An Act to Am mend and Coaify the Laws Relat- ing to Municipal Corporations in the District of Alaska" section 4 of which states SThat the said cou,- mon, council shall have and exer- siss' the following powers;:"
 "Section t0 To, prohibit drunk snness, gambling honses or places sflD fams, disordeny conduct, or sndaagsmng the public peace. pub- 10 health or pablic safety, to de- ans. such effsnses, and to prescribe shs- punishment thsseoi."
 It will thus be seen that congpess Aas fully justified the stand taken Sy Judge Wickersham.
 As still further proof of the ad- visibility of allowing municisali- ties to. manage theis own affairs, Judge Brown, of the First district after making life burden to the people of the district for several years past in contesting their To- cal self-government, has finally decided in future to keep his hands off.

A uThOuyhIful Thistle."

An English journal has related tho
amusing experience Of the sculptor,
Il. w. Pomeroy, with n Scotch COM
mjttee which came to his studio to in
spect his model of a statue Of Robert
Burns, executed for the town of Pals
Icy, famous for Paisley shawls, Pals
ley thread, Paisley pinks and Paisley
snuff.
One of the committeeman was a
rich and influential merchant in whose
gift lay the site most desirable for the
eection Of the statue, and the ashrd
erection of the statue, and the artist
naturally was DESTROYS that 1t should
please him. The poet was represented
as a plowman, standing with his
hands to the pillow. In order to fill a
gap at the back Of the composition.
the national emblem Of Scotland had
been introduced.
The worthy Paisleyan surveyed the
work for some time in silence, and
then in broad Scots requested the
sculptor to "Tur-rn 1t roond, mon." MI.
l'omeroy did SO, and expressed a hope
that he was pleased.
TURN it roond, mon," said the mer-
chant again.
Again Mr.. Pomeroy complied. and
again tried to elicit an opinion. Mean
while the critic, quite ignoring Burns,
stood with his eyes riveted upon the
emblematic detail.

lot O. thocht intae I'll"

HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Man Accused of Stealing Representa-
tive's Watch.

Representative Morgan c. Fitzpatrick cf
Tennessee was an interested spectator in the
Police Court yesterday. After occupying
for a time seat on the bench with Judge
Kimball he appeared on the witness stand
and told of the loss of his watcn and chain
one night last week when he me. Edward
Carleton, a young man reputed to have
many aliases, and his wife, in Il cafe on
Pennsylvania avenue. Attorney Campbell
Darlington appeared as counsel in the case
and Assistant United States Attorney Given
represented the prosecution
Witnesses were put on the stand D show
that the member OF Congress was eating
late supper in the cafe when ne met the
young couple. He exhibited his watch and
chain to them inadvertently. and when he
went out the cashier noticed his chain
dangling from his vest as If his timeDiece
had disappeared. Becoming suspicious of
the transaction the cashier called Special
Policeman Miles and the latter SUNNI oned
Policeman Sanders. The room of the cou-
pie in the American House was visited.
where the special policeman and Carleton
got into an altercatio 1t was when they
were about to come to blows, 1t was al
legged, that the wife took the missing lime
piece from her husbands hip pocket and
hid it in the toilet room. Detective Peck
was called into the case and he and the
other officers continued the inveStiSauon
until almost morning.
It was contended by Attorney Darlington
at the trial yesterday that no showing had
been made against the wife. If she had
done anything he argued, she was under
the influence of her husband and should not
be held.
For the purpose of having the legal ques-
ton as to the womans responsibility argued
her case was continued. Her husband was
held in 81 COO security for the action Of the
grand jury.
Since the arrest was made last week De-
tective Peck has assisted Captain Board
man In hunting up the record Of the cou-
pie. 1t was ascertained, it Is said, that
Weaver, and that her home was In Balt-
more In that city Carleton was known
under the names of Carroll and Burns. In
Chicago according to information. the de-
PENDANTS were known as Edward and Alice
Travis. The young man said he assumed
that name there because he had ridden on
q railroad pass made out in that name.
According to the husbands statement the
couple were married in Jersey City two
years ago.
Records from the police of other cities in
dicate that Carleton served one year in the
penitentiary In New York and four months
in jail in Chicago for alleged shoplfting.
His wife, the records show, served one hour
now hold a warrant for her arrest for the
New York authorities which alleges the
theft of Jewelry and money valued at $3.50
from ]. A. Bachmeister Of PA West 44th
street.
Should she be released here she will be
rearrested and held for the New York au-
thorities.

BR1TT-NELsoN FIGHT.
Both Men Working Hard for the Com
ing Battle.

A special from San Francisco says that
Jimmy" Britt does not think it will be
parlor entertainment he is to attend next
Tuesday night In Mechanics Pavilion, San
Francisco, with Battling Nelson in evil
dent
There Is an earnestness in his boxing with
Frank Rafael and in his rough work with
''Tiv'' Kroling to show what he expects
when he meets the Dane. There Is not
moment devoted to fancy boxing; 1t is all
slug, slug, slug.
Britt yesterday went three rounds with
Rafael before the usual large gallery. in
cluding number Of ladies. From his tac-
tics In training 1t is evident he expects to
wear Nelson down with his body blows
which have been so effective with other op-
ponents.
Yesterday morning, just after daybreak,
Battling Nelson, attired In an oilskin and
covered with mud returned to his camp at
Smiling Mitzner's tavern after having hit
the high places of Marion county for twelve
miles.
AS he neared the camp he was singing
"Out In the haii and the rain and the
snow" AS his undiscovered clothes were
being removed the Dane exclaimed: "This
running In the mud Is dandy; 1t reminds
me of the days when I fought AROUND Chi-

his gun and went into the foothills In quest
of quail.
