 This morning ratification meeting was held in Valdez and resolutions expressing gratitude to Summers were drawn up. Lack of space prevents publishing the reso- lutlons.

Personal Hearing.

The Tacoma Ledger, under date of March l3, says;
 ''The senate judiciary committee to-day decided to take no action on the nomination of Judge James Wickersham, of Alaska.

By W. w. NAUGHToN.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 25.-Bob Fitz-
simmons has excited the wonderment Of
all and sundry by the way he has
settled down and taken hold at his
Alameda camp. He has no lion cubs
or great Danes to detract his attention
from his training, fact which gives
color to the belief that the Cornishnan
is more serious than usual about the
work IN hand.
Even thus early great crowds cross
the bay every day TO see Fitzsimmons
go through his afternoon exercises. His
training is Of peculiar interest. as il is
believed that the task of preparing him
self may prove the real ordeal for Fitz-
simmons. and not the fight with OBrien.
