COPPER KING
J. P. Whitney Going SOnth
 to Visit Shelters

Mir, and Mrs. J. P. Whitney arrived from Whitehorse, last night, and are at th Fifth Avenue.
 Mr. Whitney says Chat another ore shipment is being sacked at the Copper King and that shipments will follow continuously unt.l about April. when the snow will be of and make the haul ing too expensive. Mir Whitney hopes to ship 300 tons during the winter, Mir. Whitney Is On hls way out to visit the smeiters of Puget sound To the in- terest of his mining interests. He says that there is yet no certainty about there being profit in his shipments, but if the rock is as good as reported by the Dominion assayer at Whiteh0rse, and propOrtlonate returns are received from the shelter, the mine win be immed- lately worked upon a large scale.
 Capt. John Irving Is expected on the Amur. Awaiting hls arrival at White horse are 100 tons of ore from the Arc tic Chief If the values are in Irving & Clarke's ore, there is enough of it to keep the railroad busy with back loads for very many years to come.
 The Copper King lode dips to the west from one of the parallel outcrops A tunnel has been run into the hill easterly and has cross-cut this lode and has passed 1t about 100 feet to catch the lode of the outcrop.

The Seattle Post-Intelhgencer, the constant and consistent champion of political advancement for Alaska in its issue Of the Sd has the following to say anent the illogical stand takou by the majority Of the subcommittee of the senate's committee on territories:
 aft would seem by the reports from Washington that the people of Alaska are not to be given the right of local ssltgovernment to which theya eni- tied at the present session Of congress The subcommittee of the senate hay- ing the matter in charge has decided that no territorial government will be organized lon account of -se vast dis tanees in the territory, the sparseness of the population, and for other req sons
 NOur present American statesmen have @ radically different idea on this subject than had the statesmen of the past When Virginia ceded to the United States the Northwest territory, including within its borders the whole area of the present states Of Ohio, Illi- nois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and the eastern half Of Minnesota, the con- tinental congress proceeded to form a territorial government for this vast area, on the basis Of local self govern ment. The ordinance of l7s7 provided that as soon as there were 5000 free male inhabitants in the territory, of full age, there should be established a local legislature, with full power to pass all neediul laws
 "Whon Ohio was cut oiL and the re- maining portion of the Northwest terri tory organized as Che iadi5aa territory in 1900, the people were granted a local legislature, merely with the proviso that until there were 5000 male inhab- itants of full age in the territory the legislative assembly should not consist of more than nine representatives, to be apportioned among the counties on the basis of population.

A. A.
May Move Headquarters to
 Blaine, Wash.

Seemingly authentic news comes from San Francisco that the headquarters of the Alaska Packers Association, says a Bellingham dispatch of the Sd, to the Seattle Times, is to be removed from that city to Blaine as Che result of an agreement between the association and the Bellingham Bay & British COlun- bia Railway Company, whereby the company's line is to be extended from Lyuden to Blaine to insure the Alaska Packers Association against freight rate extortion. -
 Recently the association has vastly extended it's holdings at Blaine, pur- chasing everything on SemiahmoO spit, where it's big cannery is at present located. out to deep wLter.
 This means that the big fleet of the company which has always wintered and omitted in San Francisco, will rem dezgous at Blaine hereafter and that the pack of the Sound and Alaska can neries, instead of going from here 10 San Francisco for shipment, will be stored at Blaine and distributed from that point

settled, and communication between it's
 various parts was vastly more difficult lthan it is between the settled parts of
 Alaska today.
 "At the first session of the Twelfth congress, in 1872, the territory of Mis-
 souri was organized, Included in its limits was ev ry portion of the terri
 tory acquired by the Louisiana pur- chase except the state of Louisiana, which was admitted into the Union at the same time When the territory of Missouri was thus orgadized it included within it's limits all of Arkansas, Mis- souri, Kansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Indian territory, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota Wyoming, Utah, Colo rado and parts of Montana and Mime sota. There were a few vast dis tances' in Missouri at the time, and the scanty population in the whole great empire was very much less than is to be found in single districts of Alaska today. Means of communication were infinitely poorer than now exist to all parts of Alaska at present; yet the act establishing a territorial government for Missouri provided for legislative assembly, elected by the people, with power to make laws in all cases, both civil and criminal, for the good govern ment of the people of said territory, not repugnant to or inconsistent with the constitution of the United States. The people were also given the priyil- /. ege Of electing a delegate to represent them in the congress of the United States.
 "There are more white male inhabi- tauts of full age residing in the district of Alaska today than there were in any one of the states formed out of the ter ritory ceded by Virginia, or out of that purchased from France, at the time those states were severally admitted into the Union. Yet a subcommittee of the senate, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that the people of Alaska are not yet qualified for such slight measure of self-government as is in- volved in making laws for their own local government and in selecting one of their number to present their needs to congress" "

SEVEN ARE CHOSEN.
Only One More Bishop to Be Selected
by the Methodist conference.

Los Angeles, May 21.--When the
general Methodist conference adj
journed at o'clock Friday evening.
seven of the eight bishops to be elect
ed had been chosen, and the eleventh
ballot, taken just before adjournment,
probably resulted in the election OF
the eighth The list of bishops thus
far chosen is as follows:
Joseph F. Berry, of Chicago; Henry
liam F. Mcdowell, of New York;
James w. Bashford, of Delaware, O.;
William Burt, of Rome Italy; Luther
B. Wilson, of Baltimore, and Thomas
n. Nicely, of Philadelphia.
The seventh. and eighth ballots re-
suited in no election, but on the ninth
DR.. Nicely was elected by 4S6 votes
out of the 700 cast, 467 being neces-
taken just before adjournment and re-
suited in no election. DR.. J. r. Day
received the highest number of bal
lots, BIZ out of a total of 7O6 cast
showed Day a loss of 80 votes, having
polled $50 in the ninth.
Election of eighth bishop is now
thought to lie between Dr. Day and
Dr. r. J. Cooke, of Chattanooga, with
the chances faVOring the latter.
DR.. J. w. E. Bowen, the colored
candidate for episcopal honOrs, twice
announced his withdrawal from the
race, and on the tenth ballot his
strength had decreased to 60 votes.
Bishop Luther B. Wilson is a grad
uate of Dickinson college, Carlisle.
Pa, and is at present presiding elder
at Baltimore, Md. He is the youngest
man of the seven men elected to the
bishopric at this conference. His age
is AZ.
Bishop Thomas n. Nicely is the old
est of the men elected and has been
a candidate for the Office at several
conferences. For the past four years
I he has been editor of Sunday school
4 publications at Philadelphia and sec
rotary of the Sabbath School Union
| and Tract society. He is a vigorous
debater and an authority on parlia-
mentary law.

mended in its special report to the
conference the election of four mis-
sionary bishops as follows:

RAT PLAGUE IN ROCK ISLAND.
Rodents Are Doing Great Damage in
the Rural Districts.

Shawneetown. ILL.,, May 2L-Millions
of rats have suddenly made their ap-
pearance in Mercer. Rock Island. and
a portion of Whiteside counties, and
are doing great damage to cattle and
grain. Where the invaders came from
is a mystery to the farmers.
The rats appear to be the most num-
erous in Edgington township and in
Pre- Emption, both in Mercer county
Thousands more have appeared in the
rural districts of the other counties.
An idea. of the magnitude of the
pests can be CLEANED from the fact that
f. N. Montgomery of Presumption in
two weeks succeeded in capturing and
killing 8, ABS of the rodents, using steel
traps to catch them In spite of this
enormous slaughter his farm is still
overrun and there appears to be no
diminishing of the number.
The rats attack droves of hogs. bit
ing them and tearing their flesh, which
results in blood poisoning.
Hundreds of hogs are being killed in
this manner. The rats also kill little
piars outright and devOur them.
These complaints come from all parts
of the three counties.
Poison has been used. cats by the
hundreds have been imported into the
counties. but there is no abatement of
the plague. and the farmers are great

WAS A VICIOUS FIGHT.
Battling Nelson and Martin Candle
Went Eighteen Rounds.

San Francisco, May elf ever a
man lived up to his sobriquet Bat
Ting Nelson, of Chicago. did so last
night when after eighteen rounds of
terrific fighting he knocked out Mar
tin Candle of Fall River. Mass.
It was a battle between an excep-
tionally clever boxer and a. hard slug
ger of wonderful staying powers, and
the man with the punch won. With
the exception of the sixth round in
which he was sent to the floor, Candle
had the fight by a good margin on
points up to the eleventh. He had
landed five times to Nelson's once,
though without mucn effect. Begin
ming with the eleventh round, how
ever, Nelson's greater staying powers
began to assert itself and he backed
Candle all over the ring. The latter
landed when he pleased, but his blows
were powerless to stop the rugged
youngster from Chicago. Candle was
bleeding badly and several times was
in distress from terrific right and lefts
to the jaw.
In the eighteenth round Nelson went
for his man with a rush and landed a
left hush to the assachusetts mans
jaw. Candle went down for the count
and arose in a dazed condition. Nelson
quickly whipped his right to the face
and the fight was over.
