those who appeared voluntarily before the commission, but he sent for the leading citizens of the community and had them testify. There is no doubt but that he will have a cl ar idea of the situation when he shall have arrived at Washington.
 Judge Day came to Alaska at the spe- cial solicitation of the president, to whom complaints had been made con- corning federal officers in this district, and the testimony offered in support or in contradiction of which was of such a conflicting nature that the chief execu- tive desired that some one high in authority investigate at first hand all the complaints and other conditions of the district on the ground. Judge Day was selected for that purpose, but de- clined at first to do the work, and James s. Young, of PittSburg, was named. The latter, after getting near ly ready to leave the national capital,

was prevented from making the trip because of circumstances over which he had no control, and the president again requested that Judge Day come to Alaska, and the latter consented.
 Judge Day has made a favorable im- pression upon the people of all classes in Alaska, aud the opinion is freely ex- pressed that his findings will be those of mature mind honestly made from the evidence and the conditions as he may find them.
 Judge Day, H. B. Mcdonald and G Carroll Todd, accompanied by Capt. D H. Jarvis, collector of customs, left this morning for the interior.

It was nearly midnight last night when First Assistant Attorney General W. A. Day and his assistants completed their work in Skagway. Fully a score of persons appeared before them during the course of the day and told what they knew, what they thought they knew and what they had heard that others knew about the conduct of the official affairs of the District of Alaska.
 It was the intention of Judge Day to remain in Skagway until Thursday, but it became evident last night that he could hear all those who desired to be heard in time to get away on the train this morning and thus make quick connection at Dawson for Eagle where the next hearings will :aSe place,
 That the assistant attorney general is going into the matter that has been delegated to him in a thorough manner is evidenced by the fact that he was not content with taking the testimony of

Special Dispatches to Daily Alaskan
 London, July 2O-An inquest was held yesterday on the body supposed to be that of Kent J. Loomis, the American dispatch bearer. No evidence was pro duced as to how he met his death. A suspicious bruise was discovered on the head and the lungs were not well filled with water, as in the case O. drowning. These lead to the theory of foul play.
