OF the oxygen used during the last
days of the senator's sickness there
is an absence of the ashen pailor often
peculiar to the dead.
The death of Senator Hanna has
brought out expressions of regret from
men OF all parties and OF every Ws.li

PROGRESSING RAPIDLY,
Work Of Repairing Vessels DAMAGED
at Port Arthur.


Port Arthur, Feb. 17.-The work of
repairing the damaged Russian battle
ships is progressing rapidly. The Chi
nese workmen were panic stricken by
the bombardment,, but they are now
working WELL regardless of the ap-
proach of the Chinese New Year.
Investigation shows that the city
and fortress were wholly undamaged
by the Japanese attack. The people,
naturally, are anxious and business Is
at a complete standstill. but the ut
most tranquility prevails.
After the religious services Sunday
there was military review before the
viceroy, Admiral Alexieff, who de-
nounced the action of the Japanese as
barbarous and expressed confidence
that the Russian soldiers would fully
avenge themselves.
Reports from the interior Indicate
that the Cossacks are mobilizing with
great enthusiasm. In the Amour dis
trict they are riding In squads from
village to village. waving Russian
flags and demanding an early chance
to meet the enemy.

had many manufacturing interests
throughout Ohio.
Rapid Rise as Politician
Mark Hanna's rise in politics was by
far, the most interesting period OF his
career Ever since the days OF his
earliest manhood he had taken the
keenest interest in politics.
1t was in 1880. when General Gar
field was the Republican nominee, that
Mr.. Hanna first took an active part in
q presidential campaign. In that year,
with several prominent business men
OF Cleveland, he organized the Busi-
ness Mems league. From it's start in
Cleveland this organization quickly
spread through several states and
proved a powerful factor In the cleo
tion of Garfield.
In 1884 Mr. Hanna took still more
active part in the making OF presi-
dent. though this time success did not
crown his efforts. He was delegate
at large from Ohio to the national
convention which he attended in the
interests Of John Sherman, whose
nomination failed to carry.
Four years later Mr.. Hanna again
shared Sherman's defeat at the Re-
publican national convention. 1t was
at this convention that he witnessed
Congressman McKinley's great sacri-
Ace In throwing aside in his loyalty to
Sherman the possibility of the presi-
dental nomination.. It was at this con-
ventitn that there was first born that
loyal friendship between Hanna and
Mckinney that later ripened into "a
love eQualing, ii not eScelling, the love
OF one nrother for smother.

conditions and make it a more comfort able place for the inhabitants. There fore. it would simply mean the destruc- tion of the laborer to be forced to work for less in this vicinity.
 l do not propose to carry out an eight-hOur movement, or anything that will antagonize the present condition of things, as far as labor is concerned. But what 1 do propose to do is to or ganize labor that the present scale of wages shall be kept up, not only in the summer season, but also in the win ter months; that no man shall be forced to work for paltry S2.50 per day to ob- tain an existence under such conditions of weather and risk of life as did they do on Anvil last winter. say that no man shall be forced to do this, because the organization which, no doubt, will be a strong one, will provide for the man who, under such conditions, shall be forced to submit to the cheap mine owner. And trust that this organiza- tion will not only meet with the ap- proval of every laboring man, but also with the press of Nome and other classes, both official and business.

LATEST FROM
 INMACHUK
Spring Cleanup Will Probably Reach the Big Sum of
 S200,O00.

A pioneer of the Inmachuk country. James N. Mccormick, reached town this week in company with John Cn- derwOod. Hans Erickson, Mrs. II. Fries and Frank Mulfatta Mrs. Fries is the wife of one of the prominent mining men of the lnmachuk.
 Mr. Mccormick thinks that the spring cleanup of the Inmachuk will reach S200. O00, and but for the scarcity of coal it would be larger.
 A new strike on the Inmachuk below the Homcstake claim is reported. Hank Fries sank hole on q bar in the center of the stream and struck f0ur and half feet of pay which Mr. Me Cormck states will average 50 cents to the pan. It is only eight feet to bed rock.
 Mccormick & Underwood will put in a plant this spring on No. } above Williams discovery, and the indica- tions are that there will be a great deal of work done in that section next summer. Mir. Mccormick has great faith in the lower Inmachuk, which he thinks will rival Ophir creek.

FOUND DEAD
 ON THE TRAIL
Capt. Woodruff and Hard Luck Smith Victims of Blizzard
 Eaten by Their Dogs.

A telephone message received from Chinik yesterday by Dr. deSoto. states that the dead bodies of Capt. G. II. Woodrutf and "iIard Luck Smith had been found on the Engataik river. a tributary of Norton bay. The men evidently had been frozen to death. The bodies were found on March 20. Their dogs, six in number, it was stat ed, had eaten the flesh from the faces of the dead men.
 Chas. E. IioxSie, who wa. recently at Norton bay, met Woodruff and smith on March $. They had come over to Isaac's point from Bonanza creek for dog feed, and from there they intended to go up the kwik, where they had been mining all winter. They. no doubt, perished on their return trip, probably having been caught in bliz- gard. Full details are not obtainable
 Capt. Woodruff and smith were old timers of this section, the former being we'll known in Nome.

 tiOn of Miners.
WHAT IS PROPOSED
J.J. O'Leary, of AnacOnda, Mont. Writes The Nugget Concern.
 ing the Matter.

Anaconda, Mont, Jan. 1.-I wish to state that I have corresponded with the Western Federation of Miners in Colo rado in regard to organizing labor next spring in Nome, Council and Teller.
 My letter being read before the execu- tive board of the Western Federation of Miners at their meeting last Satur- day. Owing to the oppression of labor in the States at the present time, one can fully realize the fate of the future wage workers of Nome, of which have not long since been participant. We do dot wish to see the labor of Nome cut down to a starvation scale, such as at the present time prevails throughout the States. am not of the belief that organized labor in Alaska will be an injustice to the mine owners of that section. To the contrary, am of the firm belief that it will benefit all classes,
 both labor and business. During the past few years men have received S5 per day as scale of wages. That it will not be an imposition upon the mine owners to continue this scale of wages, under the present conditions,
 as the government has as yet made no provisions 10 in anyway relieve the

engines. At any rate the boiler loaned badly last night, and this morning 30C gallons of fresh water were ordered for the use of the engine.
 The tiremen. under the direction of Chief Chapman, did excellent work and are entitled to much credit. The build ing Is encased in corrugated iron and the fire was a difficult one to handle, but the boys went at it with a will, and the efforts they made confined it to the rear of the structure.
 It was suggested that the fire might have been caused by "live' wire but there are none on that side of the stage, and the lights were shut off. No one, so far as known, had been in that por- tion of the building since 2:30 o'clock, when JanitOr Metcalf went down and arranged the chairs for the regular meeting of the Brotherhood, which was to have taken place tonight in the ball. One of the fremen stated that he found the stage door open, and he believes the fire was of incendiary ori- gin.
 Capt. Lewis Whtehouse, the we'll known engineer, rendered invaluab ble assistance in repairing the La France engine during the fire.
 Felix Brown moved portion of his stock from the Schow block, adjoining, and ]. C. Gatfney. across the street, was also in readiness to move, as were also .Mr. Schow, J. J. Wilson, of the Nevada, and w. B. Watts, who occupies the Lane house adjoining the theatre portion of the A. B. building.
 The loss of the Arctic Brotherhood is serious b,uw to the org luiIation. It was purchased some two year, ago, and about 5000 is still due on the pur- chase price, The building will be re- paired immediately, however. and without doubt, substantial improve ments will he made.
