Chicago Packingtown
 Expose In London

An investigation of the factories of food supplies, canned goods and baker ies this month in London, caused by re- cent exposures of the filthy conditions in the Chicago packing houses, has re- suited in some horrible discoveries. England is consequently shocked as the disclosures are said to be almost unbe- lievable.
 It is found to be a common custom for employees of the bakeries and their children to bathe in vats of the factor ies which are cleansed not oftener than once a week. The bakers pans are used for laundry work.

From the Skagway Alaskan.

from the OKaRWay AaSkan
 Hon. James Wickersham, judge of the Third judicial division, arrived on the Dolphin last night-July 10-and left for Fairbanks this morning where he will hold court.
 Judge Wickersham was summoned to Washington immediately upon his ar rival from Fairbanks last spring to ans wer the charges preferred against him there by unknown complainants. He has been held there ever since by di- rection of the department of justice that he might have an opportunity to answer those charges as they were sup plemented from time to time. That he answered them to the entire satisfact- ion of the department of justice is man. fest in letter to the president from Attorney General Moody and which let ter the president turned over to the judge. In the letter the attorney gen. eralurges the president to make the recess appointment in case the Senate refused to confirm the nomination, characterizing Judge Wickersham as one of the most upright. trustworthy and capable officials that had come to Alaska, and judge that had demon strated peculiar ability on the bench.
 Judge Wickersham in an interview this morning dismissed the subject that has absorbed the people of the Third district for so many months in a few words:
 Tt simply amounts to th;s," said the judge. 'The rules of the senate re- quire unanimous consent for the dispo- sition of matters of this kind. Every senator can talk on any subject as long {. as he wishes, and it lies in his power, therefore, to prevent action. The pur- port of the charges are we'll known. The opposition to me, in the senate, amounted to just five votes But those five were enough to prevent confrma- tion. When it was decided to pass my name on account of this, was directed to return to Alaska, the president as- surfing me that as long as he remained in office, should be judge in Alaska, If 1t pleased me to be. That is all there is to the matter.

Mr.. Knobloch, man with your
