The rooms held large number of Seattle, men who dominate the financial and business interests of that metropolis. MT. r '. Fischer. presided, and after explaining the object of the meeting introduced Mir. H D. Reynolds who outlined the plans and the work thus far accomp- li:hed. He paid tribute to the people financial assistanse, and urged that the merchants of Seattle subscribe liberally for the stock in the Home Railway as it was a natural tributary for their great commercial interests. He stated that he did not desire to go east to offer the stock because Seattle would obtain the direct benefits of the road and should assist in building it. Regarding the material side of the issue, he stated that the Bertha had sailed carrying all grading tools, the Jeanie had also gone north carrying five miles of rails, together with loco- motives and the Santa Barbara was also loading 200 tons Of rails. John E. Ballaine also spoke and declared that Alaska had never yet received that re- cognition which was her right, and fo McGilvra and Judge Mackenzie both urged that Seattle should do her full duty as she got the direct benefit Many pledges of subscriptions were made before the meeting adjourned, and bye committee was appointed to solicit more. As whole the meeting vas an immense success. Another meeting will be held in the Chamber of Comrer6e tomorrow
 The K;talla Herald, apparently Gets no opportunity pass to knock. and 1t makes no difference whether the sea- son is real or imaginary so long as material can be found In it's issue of Aug 31. it has front pager Sea Dogs as Knockers;'' and goes after Capt. Frank Moore and Omar J. Humphrey, charging that these car tains abuse the port and the people tAat live in Katalla, and decry both constantly. Nice reading that; But what is there to say when steamer reaches Kasal.a in the early morning and Las to walt until iu the after noon before the first lighter comes alongsidc, and then before she is loaded it begins to blew and the steamer has to pull out. What excuse whe2 captain lays b hours and never sees lighter. What when they lay two days and cannot put off either passengers or freight If they don't kick they are not human, but just re- member the real kickers are the travel ling public, who have other and more important business, than being hung up at Katalla, waiting for some one on shore to send off their floating wharves. Get busy down there and give all the captains every facility, which wind and water will allow, and the grumbling will cease.

OFFICE SEEKERS
RETURNING HOME
NUMBER OF THOSE WHO HAVE
BEEN IN WASHINGTON ARE
EXPECTED.

Federal oficeholders who have been
in Washington for the past two weeks
looking after their interests are to
return home during the course of the
next few days, if reports received here
are correct. Four prominent federal
officeholders are now in Washington,
but it is expected that two of these
will be in Pensacola by tomorrow
night or Tuesday morning. The other
two may also return. but no news has
been received regarding them.
The fight between the republican
state and county committees over the
appointments for these offices has evil
IDENTIFY been a very vigorous one, as
the nominations OF Marshal McCourin
and District Attorney Sheppard have
not been confirmed, and no nomina-
ton has been made by the president
for the position of postmaster. It
was stated yesterday that the nonina-
ton by the president of the marshal
and district attorney had been made,
but It may be several days before the
postmaster is named or the other
nominations confirmed.
