San Francisco, March 23-- Super visor Lonergan made a confession to the district attorney last night, giving detailed history of the franchise gratis in which the board of supervi- sors has been involved, and throwing light upon matters which were previ- ously in doubt. The entire board will be indicted in consequence.

MAY DELAY MAIL SERVICE
Operations at Katalla Will Take
 Steamers Out of Course

Active work at Katalla this summer will probably have the effect of delay ing the steamers and if they stop at that port they will have to hustle to reach Valdez in six days from Seattle, as the mail contract requires.
 In that case it is certain the steam ship companies will hear a roar from Valdez. Last summer when COrdova was delaying the arrival of steamers at Seward they all ran into Valdez first and that town was very complac- ent. The boats sometimes spent three days by way of Cordova between Val dez and Seward, although the mail contract calls for twenty-four hours.
 }J'byL 33u3J) Dh out Of it this year and it is probable that and other small Sound ports will receive thelr mail on mosquito boat When the Northwestern carried the Seward jurors to Valdez last month she went into Cordova to leave ten tons of freight. About thirty-fye men came down in response to the boat whistle. This assemblage included several Chinamen and Indians not taxed. People on the boat were informed that between sixty and seventy men are Tn the town.

FROM KUSKOKWIM TO
 FAIRBANKS BY WATER
ProspectOrs Travel In Boat Up from Coast to Within Ten Miles
 of the Panama.

Under favorable conditions, it Is possible to start in launch from Ber- ing sea, ascend the Kuskokwim to it's head, drop over the portage into Lake Minchumina and steam down the KantiSkna to the Panama and on to Fairbanks. J. D. Green and J. M. Smith arrived from the Kuskokwim this week by that route. They be- longed to party who left Seattle with a knock-down steam launch to ascend the Kuskokwim, and establish trading posts with the Indians.
 The party arrived at the mouth Of the river shortly after the ice broke last spring. The ascent of the first 5OO miles was through a broad flat country. There the river is more like a series of lakes save where it cuts canyon through spur of q mountain range. Here are the rapids. The men in the launch had been warned against these rapids, but were over them before they really knew it. From there on to what is known as Mckinley forks the character of the country was found to be much the same as below the mountains. The scenery was interesting principally from the fact that there were more rnosquitos to the square inch than any place on earth. There was plenty Of game when one took the trouble to hunt it. Arriving at Mckinley forks the party wintered, having covered 1000 miles in launch. They learned that in high water d launch could be steamed to within ten miles of Lake Miuchumina, the head of navigation for the Kauti,hna.
 The men came from Mckinley forks with deg teams About 2OO) Indians are trapping in the Ku,kokwim valley. There are very few Indians at the ,ake. At Diamond city two men were met by the party There were only d few men at work in the Kan,tahna this winter, but they all seemed busy.

WIND BLOWS STEAMSHIP
 AWAY FROM VALDEZ DOCK
Northwestern Snaps hawsers Under Driving Force of Storm and Is
 Unable to Tie Up Again.

The steamer Northwestern came to Seward little sooner than she in- tended because the wind blew her away from the Valdez dock, snapping both hawsers. Capt. Truebridge tried to tie her up again but when a new line was thrown over the post it also snapped after the corner of the dock had shown symptoms of giving way. The captain then came away in dis rust, leaving several Seward passen- gerS behind, who were coming down to the boat at the last moment. Among them were w. NJ. Sauers and Judge Morford.
 Passengers on board say the wind al the time was next thing to a tornado and when the lines snapped the boat jerked with violence that made some Of them think it had collided.
 The steamer had not discharged all her Valdez cargo when she left so un- expectedly and this hampered her in discharging at Seward, as the Valdez freight was on top. The boat also had 2l5 tons of freight for Latouche, which should have been discharged first but the tide and wind were unfavoraOle fo landing, so she came on 10 Seward, where boats can land easily it any time and remain until they are ready to 20. regardless of wind and weather.
 The Northwestern arrived in Seward at To o'clock Saturday night and sailed again at So'clock Monday morning. She brought twenty-four passengers from Seattle and about dozen from Valdez. Her freight cargo was forty tons Of general merchandise and l45 tons for the railroad. The latter was mostly bridge timber

The Cotton Warehouse.

The meeting called last THURSDAY by
President Hodge OF the cotton ascocia-
ton to further the movement of the
cotton warehouse to be built in Man
ming was fairly well attended. 1t was
shown that about S2S00 dollars OF the
necessary $1,000 capital had been sub
scribe6. A committee OF seven was
appointed by the chair, composed of
the following: S. L. Krasnoff, D. n.
Bradham, W. E. Jenkinson, Charlton
DuRant, J. J. Gardner, j. NJ. Player
and J. 81. Timmons to look after Sc
curing the rest of the stock. a sight for
the building, applying for charter and
all OF the preliminary arrangements
for the organization OF the warehouse
company.
a standard warehouse in Manning is
q necessity, and we are glad to see that
our people realize it. It will surprise
US greatly if this project fails. Our
people are hard to arouse, but when
once woke up they push on to success.
We bave here, like they have il other
places, men who do not think it wise
to hold cotton at any time: they argue
the holding of cotton is detrimental TO
mercantile interests, and, there may
be good reasoning in their contention,
at the same time, if other towns offer
facilities for holding cotton, and Man
ming does not, the cotton, which is our
trade support, will be taken where the
facilities wanted by the farmers are,
and as consequence the trade will
follow the cotton. Therefore, as q
matter of business self-defense, it be-
hooves Nlapning's business men to
have here facilities for our farmers the
equal, if not better than those offered
by the nearby towns. There shoulo
not be a merchantin this town to refuse
to subscribe to the stock to this ware,
house, all OF them should be lnte. >sted
in it. To let the warehouse project
fail now, would give Manning severe
blow. and it's business men cannon al
ford it. So do not let the opposition TO
holding cotton influence you 10 the
matter of taking stock. 1t is no longer
a question whether or not you believe
in the principle of holding cotton. 1t
has resolved itself down to whether or
not Manning will provide such facilities
the farmers demand for their cotton.
There will be another meeting on
Saturday morning 9th inst at II O'Clock
when the committee appointed will
report and when it is hoped everything
will be in readiness for permanent or
ganization, so that the work upon the
building will be commenced at once
and have it completed in time for this
seasons crop. At this meeting Satur-
Cay every merchant should be present;
this movement has for its object the
building up of Manning's trade.
