DEBATE IN COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Tbe house to-
day resolved itself into COMMITTEES of
the whole for the consideration of the
postal appropriation bill.
MI. Overstreet of Indiana. chairman
OF the committee, explained that the
Dill carries the largest appropriation.
namely s2O9, 41sso2, ever brought into
the mouse, and that the increase had
peen made necessary by the increased
compensation for clerks. carriers In city
riers.
In making provision for increase of
! compensation to the several classes of
postal employees Mr.. Overtstreet said
that a "eciassifcatiOn of clerks and
| carriers was necessary so as 20 put en-
ployes Of both services upon common
Iootlng. interchangeable IN service and
eligible equally for advancement
Reduction Necessary.
Mr.. Overtstreet said the committee
had reached the conclusion that a re-
duction in the railway mail pay was abb
solutely necessary.
The railroads are trying to stampede
the house" he said, yet there is not a
sclntilla of evidence to show that the
reduction is excessive.
The postal service will not be i'm
paired in the slightest degree. and net

By the railroads, and for one I refuse to

fiected ny their entreaties."
Power of the Press.
"A united press is more powerful than
congress" said MIR. OVerstreet. in dis
cussing the report of the postal COM
mission on second-c1ass matter. but,
he added. it was with great regret he
had observed an absence of fair inves-
tisation on the part of certain newspa-
pers in criticisipg the findings of the
commission. We will never BE- able.
In my judgment, to reach any kind of
satisfactory adjustment of the great
problem of second-class matter of mail
unless we can have THE cooperation of
the great press. daily and periodical II
is in the interest of those enterprises
that legislation is needed. The anti
Guated laws of today are scarcely en-
fOrceable. A strict enforcement of ex-

great harm and loss to publishers. but

Christian Endeavor in Spain.

The Christian EndeavOr society.
which not only has now become an es-
sentlal part of the church life at the
various stations OF the mission of the
American board, has also been adopted
by other missions, with the result that
today there is in Spain forty-nine So
cieties.
One of the most important moves in
the direction of self-control and self
support that has ever taken place in
the world is that which was taken in
the past year in Japan.
With the federation of two missions
of the board in South Africa. the East
Central African mission has become the
Rhodesia branch of the American board
missions in South Africa. During the
past year the work of the mission has
been affected by such events as the
completion Of the great Victoria bridge
and the discovery of gold. copper and
diamonds within the colony.

BRINGS REPORT
 FROM INNOKO
Tanana Miner Returns From Trip to New Gold District With
 Favorable Opinion.

Most of the news from the Innoko comes out by way of the Panama. The Fairbanks News publishes a long article which gives a great deal of in- formation about the country. Part of the account follows:
 After three months in the Innoko, spent in a consistent study of the whole region, and prospecting to bed rock on seven different creeks, Jim Whalen has returned to Fairbanks, believing the Innoko will eventually result in an important camp.
 "Whalen says that 300 or more prospectors have decided to stay with their properties this next winter, and are confident of finding enough to compensate them.
 "Some few producers have been opened up on Gaines creek, but these are the extent of working pay in the country. As for futures, Whalen says the richest sort of a quartz or placer find would surprise him but little. In all the seven creeks he worked on he found placer gold few feet down from the surface. None of the holes was twenty feet deep.
 Quartz indications were plentiful. The partners had several tons of fine looking rock, some of it Aecked with heavy gold particles. They hoped to get enough together to make a ship ment this fall. One of these pieces, Whalen says, weighs about 100 pounds, and is thickly dotted with gold.
 "The general indications of the whole section Whalen considers very good. The only thing in the way of a knock it presents to the Tanana miners is formation. The formation, for the greater part of the left fork district, is granite, slate and porphyry. The ab- sence of mica schist or any trace of schist is what discourages many of the prospectorS from this district. One stream, known as Madison creek, was the only one there where any Schist was found"

MIKE SULLIVAN
 BEATS SQUIRES
Knocks Out Australian in Nine- teenh Round With Right
 Swing on Jaw.
sv c.ble to The Daily Gateway.


 San Francisco, Sept. 30 Mike Twin Sullivan knocked out Bill Squires in the 18th round of one of the bloodiest battles on record. Squires made a game fight but was outclassed in clev- erness and ring generalship. The Australian is no lemon. He is simply a big, strong fellow who does not know how to fight.
 Squires was knocked down twice in the round which saw his finish. The first time he was hoored with right to the jaw and took the count. When he arose he was put down again the same way and stayed down. Both men were badlypunished.
 In the first four rounds both men fought fiercely and there was much wrestling by Squires The Australian seemed to be champion at missing dangerous swings. In the sixth round he drew blood from Sullivan's nose. Immediately afterward Sullivan landed hard on SquireS' mouth and the blood flowed profusely. In the seventh both men were mass of crimson. Sullivan's right eye was split open. The crowd got it's moneys worth in the blood line.
 In the ninth round Sullivan showed a decided advantage and had SquireS groggy. In the fifteenth and sixteenth Sullivan nearly lost the fight by stomach blows which were so close to the foul line that he was warned by the referee. Squires continued to fight fiercely. In the nineteenth Sullivan started in to win, and he rushed the fight until the knockout.
 It is announced today that Squires will go east to arrange siX-round con- tests with eastern heavy weights.

W, r. DOHRMAN
 DROWNS IN BAY
Diver From Cruiser Buffalo ReCOy' ereS Corpse From Water
 Beside the Dock.

William F. Dohrman, IS years old, fell from the dock into the bay and was drowned last Sunday night a few minutes after he went to the dock to get a can of oil for use in the rail road engine house, where he was night watchman and wiper.
 The body was found Monday by Diver Kempf of the cruiser Buffalo in six fathoms of water beside the dock, pre- cisely where he was supposed to have stepped off after filling can of oil from the tank at the end of the ware house. It seems probable that in fall ing his head struck a timber and he was stunned, and rendered unable to help himself or call for aid. Blood was oozing from the mouth when the corpse was lifted from the water.
 The boy and his father, Henry Dohr- man, and c. D. Mathison, night watch man at the railroad commiSsary, went on a handcar about 9 o'clock from the engine house to the dock with 5-gal- lon can which the boy was to fill and take back. He talked to his father a few minutes and then went around to the end of the old warehouse, where an oil tank stands. His father went up town. Mathison had gone away on some other errand. At 1 o'clock young Dohrman had not shown up at the engine house and Mathison went to his house to find him and learned from his father that he had not gone there.
 Young Dohrman had lived in Seward since last spring and had worked at different employments. He was a tall, strong youth, with promise of long life. His father and brother-in-law live here and younger brother went west on prospecting trip few days ago. They came here from AnacorteS, Washington.

SHIPPING GOLD
 DUST IN CANS
Tanana Now sends Yellow Metal Out by Mail Packed in
 4.pOund Boxes.

The Fairbanks News thus describes the system of shipping gold in +-pound cans by mail from the Panama:
 "The dust is carefully weighed after it is assayed, and then is put in sep arate gold boxes. Then comes the mailing clerk of the bank, who care fully takes the gold, weighs out enough so that the entire package, gold dust, tin box, sack, tags and all weigh exactly four pounds. He then seals the box and the package, puts on the package SL36 in postage and turns it over to the registry clerk of the post office, who makes out for ey- cry individual package of four pounds a separate registry receipt. Later the clerk takes the package and puts it in a sealed envelope and en- closes red registry return card and a gray package return card. Next, the package, which is now sealed and no one is supposed to know of it other than that it is a sealed regis tered package, is entered in a bill book for registry. Then the packages are placed in a sack. A registry bIll is made out and placed on the sack. This rotary lock is not opened until it reaches its destination. The bill on the inside of the sack shows the number and the card that is sent in ordinary mail shows the number of the lock.
 1.-The real story behind all of the canning of gold is the gold dust rob bery that took place on the steamer Panama a year ago. When the insur- ance companies were forced to make up the deficiency caused by the rob- bery they at once got busy with the guarantee clauses in order to find out the extent of their liability. The attorneys of the banking interests in Seattle examined the contracts on the backs of shipping receipts, and asked the express companies to modify the objectionable clause. This the ex- press companies refused to do. The attorneys then advised that the gold be shipped by registered mail and that no shipment be made by express. The wires on the matter were kept hot for a day or two, and in the end the local banking institutions commenced to melt their gold into bars that weighed just four pounds, or, more properly speaking, fraction less, so that these could be put into packages the total weight of which would be four pounds"
