Mclean. Sabin W. Colton. Jr., W. Frederick Snyder. Inving A. Stearns. Vim. NJ. Barnum. Vim. B. kurtz, A. F. Burleigh. John Rosene. They ask that guaran- tee of four per cent. interest be made on the railroad bonds, to the amount of s3O.0OO per mile. The road will be entirely completed to Eagle before the government guar antee Is given.
 The principal argument ad- vanced by the promoters of the route is the value oi the coal de- positS at the terminus.

Railroad Men Fighting.

The hearings before the commit tee on territories oi the House dis closed a three-cornered fight be- tween the Trans Alaska Railroad Co.,. the Valdez k Yukon Co.,. and the Alaska Railroad Co. The first is the Hazelett- -Bratnober company, and the Valdez X Yukon Co. rep resents an assignment. of all the railroad interests here. except Hazelett's, from the Akron, Ster- ling & Northern down to the pres ent time, including the Helm hold ings.
 Edward F. Brown, who appeared for the Valdez X Yukon O., stated that his company held the right of-way originally granted to the Akron. Sterling X Northern, which has had extensions oi time carry ing il to Feb. 16, 1905.
 Brown claims that under the wording oi the grant, and parallel supreme court decisions. his com pany had perpetual 200 foot right-oi-way from Valdez to Eagle, which could only he voided by act of congress or by action of the Alaska courts started by the attor- ney general. His contention is that the time expiring makes the grant voidahle but not void, and tha, any other road building over the right-ofway will have to pay his company for the privilege.
 According 10 Browns statement Judge Stewart, of the supreme court oi Pennsylvania, is president oi the company, and the stock of ihe concern Is signed and in the hands oi the knickerbocker Trust Co. ready for delivery. He claims that Holdredge and kclby. who are nov interested m the Hazelett project, sold his clients the right uf-way grant. and are acting in bad fal;n ny working Tor another road over the same route. This statement brought kel!:y to the floor with the statement that Stew art had never paid hin and Hold redge for tine interests turned over
 Hazeiett. Gillette, Iv,. Bratno- Der, R an. burleigh, NJ rcer and number of others joined in the dis cu.sion. and the rcsil; of tl.e.r te-- timony is SO indctlAiie. and so many charges oi fraud and coun- ter charges are made thai it would take a corps oi lawyers 10 decide which party was worthy oi aid.
 The natural result oi this figh was that the committee turneddown all oi the railroad ie.isia ion.

The news of Heilie's resignation as Clerk did not cause much sur prise here, AS his removal from oi- lice has been foresecn for soue time. There Was, however, con siderable difference of opinion as 1o who bis successor would be. Some figured on q Valdez man, but more looked for an outsider to be named, giving various reasons why Alas&ans Were not eligible. S.iers is not well known here, but the appointment oi 1 citizen of Alaska, regardless oi wLo he Is, generally gives satisfaction.

The account of the brutal treat nnent administered to horse on the sums,it by some musher, pub hshed in another column. exposes one of the most fiendish acts ever known to have been performed on shis trail. It is a disgrace to the men who were working along the trail that ho action was taken to punish the man who did such q thing. A man who cannot handle horses without abusing them should be run out of the country.

A theory was advanced by a well informed citizen oi Valdez re- cehtly to the etfert that there is a gigantic combine in existence, whose object is to keep back devel- opment in Alaska, politically and in business way, until such time AS the combination could secure the bulk of the desirable property. such as mines. fisheries, eic. after which the country would see an epoch of anparalled prosperity. His idea is that this combine in- tends so keep the development oi the country back until the present prspe,1y hoider- become disgusted, and throw up their holdings. This combine Is supposed to be com posed of the cannery interests, several of the Alaska officials. and prominent mining men oi the Sta les, assisted by numerous sen atorS and congressman. At times it looks as if such was the case.

Although the attention of the people of Valdez was called ,o the advisability of having a good ex- hibit at Portland. some time ago. shey did not think the matter worth considering until prodded Hp about it by the governor. l. is Nos so late in the season that there is very little time to arrange a ereditablee display, but it is to be hoped that the committee in charge will not bass the matter up as has been done before. We want ad- vertising and the Portland fair is good place to get it with little expense.

TRAIL OF STORM
RUIN THRU OHIO
Hundreds Of Thousands of Dol
lars in Losses-Death in
lightning Bolt.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 15.-Reports
received today indicate that the storm
of yesterday and last night caused dam
age estimated at several hundred thou
sand dollars in southwestern Ohio, and
less serious loss in other parts of the
state and in Kentucky and Indiana.
At Hamilton, Ohio, the rainfall
reached 212 inches, causing food in
the Miami river, which washed away
several small bridges. At Middletown
the rainfall reached 4.25 inches, and
both traction and steam railroads were
washed out at several points near there.
Near Mansfield, Ohio, Joseph Finney.
aged years, died from the effects of a
stroke of lightning, but his parents, who
were stunned, recovered. Misses Nellie
Smith and Lulu Wilson were seriously
injured by lightning, which struck a
farmhouse near Marysville, Ohio. Seven
persons were stunned by lightning near
Cl1cleville. Ohio, but all will recover.
David Waits, the 14-year-old son Of a
wealthy farm er in Fayette county, Ky,
was perhaps fatally injured by bolt of
lightning while standing under tree.
The damage to crops was especially
heavy in Butler and Warren counties,
Ohio.

POLITICAL REVOLT

Trouble Is Predicted, and Return
of Yankee Rule Is
Expected.

Havana, Aug. l5.-A political revo-
luton is impending and may break out
any day.
the Spanish business element in
Cuba, especially the old merchants,
who know the Cuban character be-
cause of their long experience,
disposed to rejoice, for they. never
have had any faith in the ability of
the Cubans to govern themselves, and
they believe that at the first sign Of Sc
rious trouble the United States will re-
turn to the island and in the future
commercial interests will be safely
guarded. 80. ......~ 1
Other Spanish interests regret the
appearance of trouble on the political
horizon, because Of the great injury
that may follow to business interests.
While the bitter feeling between the
liberal and moderate parties has been
recognized generally as a. sort Of pow
der magazine around which Cuban poll
ticians have been playing with torches,
the real seriousness of the situation was
not realized until the incendiary dec
larations of Jose Miguel Gomez, presi-
Dental candidate, who was named in
opposition to Estrada Palma, and open
~ said that he did not propose to obey
CuC LldIudtcS u Inc supreme court.
Everyone then realized that the situa-
ton was grave.
An astonishing thing in connection
with the Gomez incident is the fact that
the vice presidential candidate, Senior
Alfredo Zayas. leader of the radicals in
the senate and one of the best-educated
and best-known lawyers in Cuba, unhes-
1tatlngly and unqualifed1y approves of
everything Gomez said. He practically
said that if his party does not win in
this election they will appeal to "some-
thing else besides the ballot.''

= Butte, Mont, Aug. l5.-Between
fifty and sixty Mormons reached Butte
today over the Oregon Short Line, on
their way, to Alberta, Can, to take up
homesteads. The party is in charge Of
a bishop Of the Latter Day Saints
church, and will stop over in Butte for
short time.
For several years the Mormon church
has been Systematically colonizing the
southern section Of Alberta. At pres
emit this section Of Canada contains a
large population Of Mormons and the
number is being constantly increased.
It is planned to send a thousand more
Mormons into Alberta, according to the
bishop.
Members of the party who reached
this city today are principally farmers
and ranchers from Utah, who have de-
cided to take up homes in Canada. The
land in Alberta is said to have good ag-
ricultural and grazing value, and the
heads Of the Latter Day Saints church
are urging and assisting their members
to journey thither.

Missoula, Mont Aug. 15.-Ted Frey,
who has Just returned from Blackfoot
county. tells of the finding of miner s
outfit and the skeleton of man in the
wilds. While at work with companion
burning underbrush, they discovered the
remains Of a man, which consisted Of
bones in q very badly decayed condi-
ton. and near by the outfit of miner,
a gold pan, an ak, a coffee pot, miner s
pick and shovel. e. ,s5... ~
The bones were found near an old
tree, and it is supposed the man threw
down his blanket beside the tree and
laid down for the night, but that he had
never arisen, either death taking him
in a natural manner or reptile biting
him. causing death.
Mr.. Frey brought the miner s effects
with him to the city, and has them in
his possession. The two men buried the
bones where they found them, near an
old prospect hole.
