is uncertainty regarding dinner
Today's denial of s~ustenance is not due
to shortness OF funds. No! On the con-
trary, 1t IS due TO a plethora of fatted

that the big crowd in Eureka Park, Good
Hope. ate, and ate. and ate. until it
couldn't hold more.
They disposed Of so much of the car
cass that many will have no appetite
for a week. The eating began al a lit
tie after 9 o'clock, and continued until
after midnight.
Boom for P. Carson.
The barbecue was promised by Perry
Carson for votes at the last primary
election. It was a great affair from start
TO finish. and It started the boom of
T. Carson for national committeeman.
The OK was led through Anacostia and
up 10 the park heights at 4 o'clock.
About the same time a baker delivered
500 loaves Of bread. By . o'clock the
big, fatted OK had been spitted over a
hct fire and the bakers were cutting up
the bread.
Then some liquid refreshments put in
an appearance. Later other things ar
rived
All Nature Smiles.
The stars came out. The moon shed
it's rays upon the Potomac, the band
played. and the crowd arrived. When
Perry Carson appeared a crowd had al
ready gathered. This collected and
cheered.
And then n Blaine Invincibles ar
rived with the president J. w. Jack
son, at their head. BY this time there
were demands for some kind of cere-
monies and President jackson intro
duced j. w. Bell. who made a short
speech. He was followed by former
Representative George w. White. The
latter made an address as hot as the
roasting beef. and the roast the beef
was getting was hardly more fierce than
the roasting he gave the Lilly Whites
OF Louisiana, defeated before the
National Committee in Chicago.

BY this time the aroma OF roasting
OK had grown so strong that it was i'm
possible to hold the crowd longer from
the savory feast. There was a rush
and eating began. and fun broke loose.
The moon had long gODp m hed tho
whip-poor-wills had ceased calling and
a grayishness was appearing IN the

NOT ALL THE COMMITTEE

People must not ruu away with the idea that all the senators of the seua- torial subcommittee which visited Alaska were familiar with the details ol the report of that committee, which was presented, unsigned, by Senator Beveridge of Indiana, who stated that it had been prepared by Senator Dill ingham and that "the recommendations are the recommendations Of the entire subcommittee with the exception tLa- the junior senator from Colorado Sen ator Patterson holds that the dts,ric, should now have a territorial form of government"
 In fact it is more than probable thai, Senator Dillingham; did not personally compete the figures. Had he done SC he would probably have included ths license fees collected in the second and third judicial divisions as well as those collected from the first division wrL the revenues derived from the district.

FOR sKAGwAY AND ALASKA

The Daily Alaskan has no apology to offer for defending the'peop,e of Skag- way against slurs and insults no matter from what source they come. No Unit ed States senator is so high and mighty nor is any local knocker so low but this paper will protest when the one does the people of this city injury or when the other attempts their betrayal.
 It is an insult to the citizens of this city, who attended meeting en masse to present their case to the subcommit- tee of the United.S d.Statessenate last year that the arguments presented by them received no mention in the report, while other towns and other people were treated differently. And still greater is the insult for one living in the city to insiuuate that the citizens of this city were not worthy of greater consideration than they received
 The case of Skagway and the arEU- ments for territorial government were presented to the United StateSseua,ors by many of the leading citizens of this city. Judge Wilcoxen was chairman of the chamber of commerce committee which received the senators, presided at the meeting and made a splendid presentation of the demand for sslt-Eoy- ernment. John F. Dillon delivered a we'll prepared argument on the ques- ton. R. ". Jennings ando-hers spoke at the meeting, and Mayor Keller and more than 20 other citizens presented arguments in interviews to the seua- toriaI committee Similar interviews, different only in the conclusions reached from residents of other points, were published at length in the report O. -he hearings by the committee, bu- Senator Dillingham;, who had charge Of these hearings. saw it only to admit that Skazway. which he seemed to regard only as a town that is reu0gradt1- favored territorial government. Such is the treatment the Daily Alaskan ro- sents and such are the people who's. rights it is prepared at all times to l,- feud, though to do so it may fud laec- essary to criticise a member of che United States senate.
 The Daily Alaskan Is for S6a-way and Alaska and it will continue 10 fight their battles against all adversarles whether they be power-I0viug officials from abroad or knockers a- home.
The daily Alaskan., 1904-06-24

The wOOdchoppers and others con- cerned can realize today what an organ ized territorial government would mean for them at least. If the people o. Alaska were organized as a govern meut which would be recognized at the national capital with a delegate in con gress to represent them there, Ssagway citizens who are now asked to pay into the federal treasury not only the prof it's on their toll but the full grgss value thereof, would have some one to fight their battles who could demand auo who would receive 8 recognition. a- it is they will have to make rha .-l. themselves with only such uore or less disorganizeC assistance as other, can give them.

DECOTO STIRS
BERKELEY MEN
Manager Announces Fresh
man Players Are to Receive
No Complimentary Cards
DIFFICULTY ADJUSTED
Incident Causes an Unusual
Amount of Discussion
on the College Campus

BERKELEY, Oct. 13.-There was
a mutiny among the men of the fresh
man football team this afternoon
when Graduate Manager Ezra Decoto
walked on the field and said:
Il have 70 announce that there will
be no complimentary tickets for the
team members to the game on Satur-
day. Captain Allen alone will get a
complimentary"
Nothing was said for a few mo-
ments, but Coach Hopper finally
broke the silence. He walked up to
Decoto and said:
How much are the tickets, Mr..
Decoto? 1 will buy them myself for
the men. They've worked hard enough
to be entitled to them and they de-
serve them"
instantly protest was made by the
players against the acceptance of
Coach Hoppers offer. The men
crowded about him, declaring that if
tickets had to be bought each man
would buy his own.
Manager Decoto stood aside while
the men discussed the matter. Fin
ally he receded from his original
stand and announced that eighteen
men would be given two tickets and
ten men one ticket each and that I'LL
timatum settled the affair. 1t became
a closed incident-on the football
field. Elsewhere on the campus
tongues buzzed and gossips rolled the
story Of the mutiny as a sweet morsel
under their tongues.
One week ago Coach Hopper and
Manager Decoto clashed on the ques-
ton of applying sawdust to the field.
Hopper insisted that sawdust must be
used. Decoto said it would cost too
much. Hopper said players were be-
ing injured by the roughness of the
ground. Decoto said men could be
spared this year as we'll as any other.
This argument created a stir which
had died down only to be revived by
the fracas tonight over the football
tickets.

OLYMPIC ATHLETIC CLUB
HOLDS LADIES' NIGHT
Excellent Programme Is Provided for
ENTERTAINMENT of the Members
and Their Guests.

The Olympic Club gave a ladies
night last evening and the big gym
nasium of the club was filled with,
members and their friends. The pro-
gramme, which was arranged by John
A. Hammersmith in the absence of
Leader John ]. Gleason, proved one
of the most interesting the club has
ever held. Captain Rosenfeld was also
instrumental in making the evenings
entertainment a success.
OF the athletic programme there
were so many good things that men
ton of each must be made. First
came fancy pyramids by members of
the Eintracht Turn Verein. They were
followed by George Schlitter and Baby
Cornell on the rings and by catch-as
catch-can wrestling by members of
the club. The Nelson family gave
some fancy ground and lofty tum-
bling, and the work of the Olympic
representatives on the parallel bars
was good. Japanese wrestling, or jiu
jitsu, caught the fancy of the specta-
tors and many of the trick holds were
appreciated. Indian club swinging by
ladies of the Eintracht Turn Verein
and fencing with foils and sabers
came next. The Chinese pupils of In
structor George S. Miehling went
through some fine dumbbell calisthen-
les. Exercises on the gym horse"
bag punching, sparring and swimming
exhibitions ended the evenings en-
tertainment.
During the course of the pro-
gramme President William Greer
Harrison presented medals to three
Olympic men who were representa-
tives of the club at ST. Louis. They
were Francis Galley, ]. Scott Leary
and George v. Finnegan. Sam Berger
was also a prize winner at the fair,
but received his medal before leaving
for the East.

SMITH SAVES THE GAME.
Seattle Mans Perfect Throw to Plate
Completes Double PLAY.

SEATTLE. Oct. 1S.-Seattle won
from Los Angeles to-day in a strug-
gle that was decidedly strenuous. At
ter getting a good lead Seattle was
relegated to the rear by an attack on
Pitcher Jay Hughes that was wonder
full to behold. Los Angeles simply
clouted the ball all over the field,
shooting six runs across the plate.
From that time on until the seventh
Seattle did not have a word to say
Three consecutive singles off Hall
gave two runs. Flood then put in
Newton. One more hit and Seattle
got the third run, which gave her the
lead again.
Hickey finished the game for Seat
tie and in every inning tied himself
up but managed to work out without
a scratch. Carlos Smiths throw to
the home plate in the eighth complet-
ing a double that saved the game. The
score:
