CITY POLITICS BEGINS TO
 ATTRACT ATTENTION
Generally Conceded that Present City Coun- ciI Will Be Re-nominated and Reelected -Surest Way to Have Legal
 City Government

to group of citizens the other day, bears directly on this point. He said:
 "I opposed the election of the present council because ]. believed it would tavor the railroad to the prejudice of other property owners and other interests in the city. The record shows the fear to have been unwarranted. While the sum of the assessed valuation of city property was lower this last year than ever before in the history of the town, and the amount of taxes paid less, the railroad has paid a greater tax than it ever did before and on agreater valua- tion. Not only that, but the railroad company has donated more work 10 the city an ever before"
 But the reason that is having even greater weight in causing the property owners to favor the reelection of the city council is the desire to have a council that will be unquestiOnably legal. City Attorney T. R. Lyons, of Juneau, and City Attorney Jennings, of Skagway, believe that under the new law, councilmen chosen to office on any other date than the first Tuesday in April, which is named as the election day, would have no legal title to the of flee. The Juneau city government is already involved in litigation on that account. Even if the old council should willingly surrender office to a new council, composed of different members, any outsider, who would be dissatisfied with the action of the council could bring proceedings in court, test ing it's right to exercise the powers of office. Any man, arrested under any of the city ordinances, could raise the question as 10 the Jurisdiction (, mu- nicipal magistrate or city marshal hold ing office under an appointment from a council that would have no right to its office.
 These things will no doubt make the renomination and reelection of the present city city council a matter of unauimity.
The daily Alaskan., 1904-06-13

The approach of the municipal cleo tion has caused local interest again to be focused upon city politics. The central committee selected by the Citi- zen's conv vention one year ago has cal led a mass convention of the citizens of Skagway to meet in the city hall We'd nesday evening for the purpose of nom- mating seven councilmen and school board to consisting of one school diree- tor, one school treasurer and one school clerk.
 It is not likely that the campaign this year will approach former contests in renuosity. In fact, it is generally conceded that the present council will be reelected without opposition. This sentiment is being fostered because of two facts, each seemingly sufficient in itself, and the two combined probably irresistible.
 Those business men, who favor the proposition to renominate the present city council as a whole, and they in- clude those who opposed it's members for election a year ago as well as those who supported them, point out that the city government has given general sat isfaction to all elements in the city on the one hand and deserve reelection for that But further and even more important reason urged for the re-elec- tion of all the councilmen is the fact that there would be a doubt as to the legality of it's title to office if a council of a different personnel were chosen.
 It is pointed out that the present city council as whole, has given an atten- tiou to the city business unprecedented in the history of the town. The average attendance has been cetter and the matters carried to a successful consum- nation more than have previously been the case. An argument for the re-elec- tion of the present council by leading business man of the city, who actively supported the taxpayers ticket a year ago, while discussing municipal affairs

Especial Dispatch to Daily AlaSkanI
 Ottawa, June l3.-LOrd DundonaId will either send in his resignation or his appointment will be cancelled. This is the result of the trouble between himself and cabinet officer Fisher. When the latter was acting minister ot militia, Lord Dundonald wanted an aP- poiutment of man who was not re- garded as qualified as a major, and sn- other man, who was qualified, got the appointment. This is said to be the cause of his charges that the govern ment was using the militia for political purposes.

Refreshing Rains.

The discomfort incident to the humid
weather of yesterday was relieved con-
siderably by two copious rains-one
about O. o'clock in the afternoon and the
other between and o'clock. Both
we're accompanied by thunder and light
ming. The rain in the evening was the
heavier. The clonds formed in the
south and the southwest, from which
quarters muttering thunder was heard
some time before the storm broke over
the city. The rain fell in torrents and
for a time the lightning was almost in
cessant There were some vivid flashes
and heavy peals of thunder, although so
far as is known no damage re ulted.
Some rain fell during the afternoon in
the neighborhood of Seminary Hill, but
in the Mount Vernon neighborhood the
storm was more severe. The hailstones
for time fell thick and fast.
The steamer Norfolk which arrived up

The EIkS' Excursion.

Notwithstanding the meteorological
conditions yesterday, theexcursion given
by Alexandria Lodge to River View was
a decided success. Each trip of the
steamers was marked by large crowds.
There were a succession of rain storms
which marred the pleasure of the excur-
sionists somewhat. About the time one
of the evening boat was preparing to
leave this city another heavy down
pour of rain, accompanied by vivid
lighting and crashing thunder, set in,
and numbers who had determined to
patronize the excursion we're deferred
from going aboard the boat. Many, how
ever. braved the elements and the steam
or proceeded down the river amid the
torrential rain and the electrical display.
The clouds finally broke and the exeur-
sionists after reaching River View enter
ed into the enioyments they had antici-
pated. During the evening a handsome
Jewel was presented to Past Exalted
Ruler Jacob Brill. The presentation
speech was made by Exalted Ruler 9.
C. Carlin. Mr.. Brill made suitable
response.

During a heavy rain and electrical
storm at Atlanta, Ga yesterday after
noon Mrs. Ora Bradley, wife OF w. b.

of the city lightning struck the home of
I. O. Jones, an instructor in the Georgia

house of Clarence NJ. Hyde, in New
York, starting fire that ruined two oil
paintings, damaged valuable tapestries
and wrecked other works of art. To get
at the fire the firemen were obliged to
tear out part of the wall of the parlor.
The loss is estimated by the firemen as
$40, 900. When the lightning struck
the house it followed the elevator shaft,
in which run the wires of the interior
lightning system. Over these wires the

Another Site offered.

An important addition to the number
of available sites in Washington for the
station of the Washington, Alexandra
and Mount Vernon Railway was made
Yesterday. Mrs. E. E. Davidson,
widow of the former District assessor,
Joseph III. Davidson, makes known her
willingness to accommodate the railway
officials with a plot Of ground sufficiently
large to answer all the purposes of ter
minal. Mrs. Davidson owns on the
north side of Ohio avenue about 4, 500
square feet, with fifty-three feet frontage
and seventy-fve feet in depth. This
plot of ground is within few feet of the
Fourteenth street corner, and the loca-
ton would require the construction of
only one block of trackage. Railway
officials and real estate men have been
looking at the Davidson property, and,
according to Commissioner Biddle's re-
ply to Mr.. Senseney. Mrs. Davidson's
proposition will be taken up and given
due consideration. The acceptance of
Mrs. Davidson's property for the new
station would mean the extension Of
tracks from Thirteen-and-a-half street,
which the road now occupies, along one
square of Ohio avenue TO Fourteenth
street. and there to make connection
with the present line again. 1t is point
ed out that Ohio avenue is not row used
to any great extent for teaming, nor does
it present the objections that have been
raised to the proposed loop around Emer-
eency Hospital

New Pier.

1t is stated that extensive improve
ments are contemplated by government
authorities on that part of the river front
between the arsenal wall and the north
line of N street, Washington. This
property is under the control of the War
Department, and part of it is the most I'M
slightly portion of the Washington river
front. The old wharf used by the light
house service is dilapida,ed, and the re-
mains of old wharves and broken-down
piles show on all sides. The stone sea wall
has fallen down, aud the stones, which
once formed the wall, are scattered
about in the water. All this, according
to reports, is to be changed. The sea
wall is to be rebuilt, good pier con.
structed to rerla,e the cd one now used
by the lighthouse authorities, and other
improvements made that will add ma
terially to the appearance of the river
front These improvements are to be
started in few weeks and will be COM
pleted, il possible, early in the fall.
The new pier will be used by the
lighthouse service as berth for the
buoy boats when they come to this city,
aud is to include a storage yard for the
service. The buoys, paints and othel
supplies will be kept, so that when j
becomes necessary to replace a broker
buoy on the Potomac, especially in tina
part above Upper Cedar Point, it viii
not be necessary for the buoy tenders tc
90, to Point Lookout, Nd, or Ports
mouth, Va, for the supplies necessary
for the work.
