Washington, April 13-Politicians and statesmen" generally, visiting and otherwise, are chatting excitedly over the latest gossip concerning the Ohio political situation. According to the current story, which is assert ed to be based on absolute fact, the program of President Roosevelt for the annihilation of Senator Foraker and the elevation of Taft in Ohio, in- cludes also the elimination of Senator Dick and the election of the Presi dents son-in-law, Nicholas Long,
 worth, to the United States senate. According to this story Nick Long worth is to have the first bite at the cherry and Mir. Burton the second. Mir. Longworth is slated to succeed Senator Foraker, if the Roosevelt Taft cabal wins out, and MT. Burton is to wait until 1911 and succeed Sen ator Dick. Of course this is about like putting the cart before the horse in the political pull, because Mir. Burton is an older man than Mr. Longworth and greatly his senior in point of political and congressional service, but it is explained by the statement of Charles r. Taft the other day that Secretary Taft would stand for both the senate and the presidency in his tilt with Foraker.." :" Then, if successful, he would take the presidency and give Mr. Long, worth the senate.
 Seattle, April 13-Senator Piles arrived in the city last night from Washington, and when interviewed by representatives of the Associated Press had much to say abont the bubbling pot of politics now so pre- dominate at the national capitol. Among other things he said, "The last time I called upon President Roosevelt he broached the matter of a third term and told me that he was just as determined now as ever that IO NOuld llOu DC q SdiloloaUO lo SdS- ceed himself, and I am confident that he meant it. A man cannot talk to the President on any topic in which he is interested without bringing away the impression that he means what he says. I was present at the now famous Brourne dinner but heard nothing there about that $5, GOO, GOO, corruption fund, Such a thing is, of coursse, possible-what isn't these days but it seems to me highly improbable. If there is such a thing in existence they're foolish to let it out, for President Roosevelt will defeat them if he takes to the field in person--that is l mean as a candidate.
 Tacoma, April 1.-The local postal authorities have been seeking fol some time for thief who has been tampering with mail in the post office. The discovery of the mis- creant was made by accident last night when Ralph Pattison was dis covered in the act of robbing mail by wealthy lumbe rman of South Bend. He was arrested immediately and made complete confesssion. He had pursued his crooked work for several months, filching money from unregistered letters, and is supposed to have secured upwards of a thousand dollars by his crime.

It lays way over the piano which they have had in such long use, and will prob ably be made to contribute something to the tribe's exchequer, by rental to the other fraternal societies which hold their meetings in the same hail.

Mir. F. E. Cagle today received the sad news of the death of his brother, Charles N. Cagle, at Sushitna Cooks inlet.) He had been in poor health for about two months before he finally passed away. Charles N. Cagle came to Alaska in 1886, and his occupation has been principally mining and pros pecting. He is known to great many people of southeastern Alaska, who will be very sorry to hear of his death. He made friends wherever he went, and in his death Alaska has lost one of her best and truest pio- neeri.

FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.

The following co mmunication to The Miner. which comes to the editor from Loring under yesterdays $ date, will explain itself
 To the Editor.
 In your issue of March 30 you have short statement in regard to the money raised in your city about a year ago, and delivered to me for the benefit of any one in Wrangell wh 0 was in distress by reason of the fire which had burnt out the town and as a part of your statement is not correct, I take the liberty of writing you few words in explanation.
 Soon after the fire in Wrangell I happened to be in Ketchikan and as it was known that I had lived there for some time I was asked if I thought there would be anyone there Gin Wrangell) who would be in distress, and said "No, I did not think so, '" but that probably a good many were very hard hit. However, as there was report that there was distress, sum of money T think $332) was collected, handed to me, and l was asked to go to Wrangell, and if there was anyone there in need or distress to help them out, and not to limit myself to the amount collected, but to expend what might be necessary, and the money would be refunded to me on my return to Ketchikan. 1 was also instructed that the money was not to be used to build sidewalks.
 When I got to Wrangell. with one or two exceptions, I spoke to all the leading citizens, including the U. S. Commissioner, and told them for what purpose was there, and they all, without exception, said there was no distress in the town.
 While speaking to Mayor Jensen, he told me that the city was badly in need of money to build sidewalks, but as the money was specially told was not to build sidewalks, and as there was no distress to relieve, l brought the money pack to Ketchi kan, and turned it over to some of the parties who had given it to me.
 Hoping have made myself clear in the foregoing, and eXcusing myself for taking up your valuable time, l remain.
 Yours truly,

Goes to Afognak. .-C. P. Henkel, of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries, until quite recently foreman at the Yes bay salmon hatchery is in town on his way to Afognak island, where he will assist in the erection and installation of another government hatchery. Mr. Claudius Wallack, field super intendent of hatcheries in Alaska, preceded him op the Portland. Mir. Henkel not having received his orders to his new field of duty in time to catch that ship. He informs The Miner that the operations of the Yes bay hatchery have been wholly suc- cessful the past season, about sixty million fry having been turned out. He will take the first steamer to the westward which gives promise of landing him some where near his point of destination, which will prob ably be Kadiak, whence he can easily make his way to Afognak by small boat.
 Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Heckman re- tur ned on the Humboldt this morning from business trip to San Francis co. Mir. Heckman informs The Miner that the big steel ship Star of Eng land was getting ready when he left San Francicso to sail for Loring with the Chinamen and supplies for the cannery at that place. The Star of England is the company's largest and best vessel, and will remain at the cannery during the season and take the pack down at its close.
 H. M. Dart the Adventist preacher, accompanied by his family, arrived on the Humboldt this morning.
 Rev. J. A. Chapman, accompanied by Mrs. Chapman and Master Joseph, sailed for Skagway this morn ing on the Humboldt, to be absent for five or six days only.
 Died Suddenly. The many friends and acquaintances of Mir. William Smart, for the past five weeks the popular steward of the steamship Humboldt, and who for four years prior to that time occupied the same position on the City of Seattle, will be pained to learn that he died very suddenly at his home in Seattle on the night of the 11th inst. He had just come from the bath room into the room where his mother was sitting, when he was taken with a hemorrhage, and fell dead in her arms. He will be missed by the travelling public with whom he was very popular.
 Father Brown, of Juneau, came quietly and unostentatiously, (as is his wont) into town last Wednesday, and so quietly remained here until this morning, that The Miner reporter was not made aware of the fact until the rev. gentleman had departed again for his home. Then he was in- formed by several of his parishioners of the fact that he had been here, that he held services in the Catholic church yesterday, and preached a sermon to the largest congregation ever assembled therein. Strange, isn't 1t, that not one of the parish ionsrs referred to, ever thought oi informing the reporter of the good fathers presence in town until they had occasion to find fault with The Miner for having made no nentio T Of the fact of his being here, or that he would hold services yesterday The Miner regrets tine omission oi the good father's friends to give il ths news as much, if not more than, 1t does its own hnintentional re. tnissness in the premises,

 Allen Weir of the American Marble company, whose property is on Marble and adjacent small islands, west coast of Prince of Wales, Is in town. From him The Miner learns that there is probability of reorganization of the company or the formation of new one, to take over the property with view to pushing the work of devel- ompent on a scale commensurate with its prospective very great Value. A few men are now employed in quarry Ing blocks of marble which will fairly sxemplify eight different varieties, and serve not only as tests of duality, but indicate the most eligible point for the location of machinery to be employed in opening and operating the quarry. Mir. Weir is an old newspaper publisher, and was the first secretary of the State of Washington.
