GOSSIP OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The senate seems to be lacking in
first-class orators 1t is tue that there
! are a number of members OF the body
who do a lot of spouting but their
speeches are not the oratorical ex-
hibitiOn that one enjoyed during the
session of the legislature two years
ago. Those were the days of Caldwell,
uCornwell and Carrigan. Rotund Char
yqey Caldwell never let AN opportunity
20 by to take a flight into the very
kclouds. and John j. Cornwell, the erst-
(while candidate for governor and
1United States senator, was always
uready to make a speech that brought
thundrous applause from the galleries.
tThen tour own Charley Carrigan, from
Marshall, was right at home when it
came to turning the eagle loose and
making him screech.

8tor Jake Fisher can always be de
Bended upon to make a speech that

Atkinson for the Metlakahtlas was considerable of surprise to the home team, flaming out Stackpole and Will Hams. the first two men up. He failed to repeat the dose with Murphy, however, whom he hit with the ball. Mahoney flew out, and Murphy died It second.
 Fawcett the first man up for Metla- kahtla flew out to Burkhart, Howard and Hewson hit short grounders to the infeld and failed to reach hrst.
 In the second inning Burkhart struck out. Ingersol was struck by pitched ball and took his base, steal- ing second, and making home on q passed ball. The third inning failed to make any change in the score, all though Williams, Murphy and Mahoney each got a good start and Ketchikan should have had a score on Williams run, had it not been for a bad decision at the home plate.
 In the fourth, Happy scored tying the game. Nothing doing in the fifth, but Mahoney scored in the sixth, bringing the score up to ? to l, and

raising Ketchikan's hopes according ly. The lead didn't stay good, how ever, as Happy in the seventh again made the round, and the score stood ? to }. The eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh and half of the twelfth passed without anything happening, but in the last half of the latter inn ing Leask sailed in over the line and it was all over but the shouting. And how the Indians did shout. The rest of the crowd were like the boy, who was caught in the jam closet. and did n't have word to say.
 During the morning bunch of the children's races had been pulled off and most every youngster in town had a jingle in his pocket, for while at least. Hose Co. No. 1, consisting of Ingersoll, Ball, Stackpole, Hunt, Fay Tor, Reynolds, Mitchell, Allen, Rice and Morgan won the wet test in the hose race in ? 1-5 seconds.
 The drilling contest which was pulled off immediately after the ball game developed very pretty contest, Rowe and Miller, of Karta Bay drilled 225s inches, Gouley and Kennedy, of Mt. Andrew followed with 2S5s inches and Brown and Dannie followed with TIE inches, the last men had to use dull steel which accounts for their poor showing.
 The single jack contest followed with Archie Mcclellan making hole of 1l24 inches Jack Moyle 97s inches Jim Kennedy 15-16 and "Dannie" 1O%.
 The other games came off more or less according to schedule with the exception of the canoe and launch races which had to be wiped off the slate because no entries appeared for either. The rest of the games were pulled off this morning and afternoon the best event being the 1OO-yard dash, which was won by. R. L. Colby in II 2-5 seconds. He also won the 22O-y yard dash, on wbi.sS time was not kept.

Boise, Idaho July 3.-Slowly, but none the less surely, the defense is forging, link hy link, the chain of circumstantial evidence by which they expect to prove that the Mine Owners Association and their henchmen, the Pinkertons, were responsible directly
 or indirectly for the greater number of the outrages which have been per- petrated in this district during the past decade. After a fight lasting nearly two days. in which Borah for the prosecution, used every means in his power to prevent their introduc- tion as evidence, the attorneys for the defense are reading repor~s of Pinker- tton spies who were officers of the

Colorado Federation of Miners, urg- ing the membership of the Federation to resort to dynamite, even going SC far as to suggest where outrages should be perpetrated. This is the most effective piece of evidence yet introduced by the defense, and is be- ing handled so we'll that it is having a telling effect, and spectators as well as jurors are hanging expectant on every word. If the defense can prove even one- half of what it is contending the Federated Miners have been the victims of a conspiracy far reaching in it's aims and fiendish in its concep- tion.

Yakima, Wash, July }. - H. E. Nicol!, formerly resident of Skag- way, Alaska, now president of the Law and Order League of Sunnyside this state, is missing. It is believed that he was murdered by the liquor men of Sunnyside. as he has been the main worker in the movement to close them up Sundays, and make them observe the state laws. Nicoll was last seen Saturday evening, and last night screams were heard near the river, and the supposition is that he was decoyed to point near the river and there put out of business. A thousand dollars reward has been offer ed for Nicol's recovery dead or alive, and the whole community is out look ing for him. Signs of struggle were found on the river bank in the neigh borhood of where the cries were heard Saturday night and the place where a team ana buggy had stood for some time on the same date were discover ed. Nicoll had received threatening letters several times but had given nc credence to them outside of buying and carrying a pistol for self protect ion.

to be tortured and burned and lynched is it liberty to be disfranchised-is it liberty to be the butt of all the meanness that the Anglo-Saxon as represented by the ignorant, degraded southerner can conjure up in his dis eased mind? What has the American negro to thank that flag for? It has utterly failed to protect him, and when I think of the amount of abuse that has been heaped upon my people, cannot but despise the flag and the country it represents. My people would be better off mentally and mor- ally if they could shake the dust ot this modern Egypt, from their feet and return to the home of their fathers.

The Miner learns incidentally that the Skagway Alaskan has been sold tc Dr. l.. s. Kellar, who will take pos session on the first of the coming month. This information comes to us incidentally, owing to the fact that for some reason the Alaskan has not come to the Miners table for the past week. or ten days. MT. Troy, who has been the editor for the past several years, it is said, will either go to Port Angeles or Port Townsend where he and Mir. Jensen will agai [ embark in newspaper work.

Jen- sen is an accomplished disciple of the ''art of arts," and even those whC disagree with him on public questions must admit that as an editorial writ CT Mir. Troy has had no superior in Alaska.

Reports come from Nobleville, at the mouth of Eureka creek, that R. F. Noble is farming on quite big scale. It is said he was expecting to plant about eighty acres, and with inc weather and favorable spring it is likely he got the seed in early. Fire several years ago had destroyed most of the timber and made the ;learing of the ground easy. The principal crop will be grain stock feed. There is every reason to be- lieve it will pay. Indeed the sub stantiality of this country for general ard successful farming is now con- sidered proven. The cost of bringing the ground, under cultivation and the stability of the markets for pro- luce are the only things requiring careful consideration from persons who would farm for profit. Mr. Noble is very fortunately situated in both particulars, and would not be surpris- ing to. see stock raising added to his enterprise with splendid results befo yery long. Yukon Valley News.

Damp but Enthusiastic

The weather which had been ex ceptionally fine for the previous thirty
 avs changed to drizzling rain durin g the night of the third, which by the following morning, approached so closely to veritable downpour as to very nearly put an effectual dampei on the celebration of the Fourth, fol which elaborate preparations had beer made, indeed would, but for the pat riotic fervor and indomitable spirit o1 our people, have wrought a complete failure of the program. It takes something more than downpour oi rain, however to quench the ardor and genuine patriotic spirit of the average Alaskan, and at 9:30 the program as formulated and published was entered upon; the procession formed at Red mems hall, and headed by the Ketchi- kan brass band, marched, under the direction of Mir. H. c. Reynolds. marshal of the day, over the route outlined in the program, returning to the hall where the literary exercises were had.
 The large hall was we'll filled, and being called to trder by Mayor Hunt, president of the day, there was music by the band and song My Alaska, :" by the school children, and an invo- cation by the Rev. J. A. Chapman, followed by the reading of the Decla- ration of Independence by B. L. Myers, and a rendering of ''The Star Spangled Banner by the school children. President Hunt then, in a few brief and appropriate remarks introduced Rev. Richard Bushell, of Seattle, who delivered an eloquent address, far more appropriate to the occasion than could reasonably be ex- pected from one not resident of Alaska. The address was eloquent and prolific in patriotic thought and expression throughout.
 Hon. Wm. Sulzer, the Henry Clay of the National house of representa- tives. who had been detained in town temporarily while enroute to Sulzer, Prince of Wales island, where he is interested in the mines of the Alaska Industrial company, being present. was then introduced by president Hunt, and addressed the large audi ence in his usual eloquent and forcible style, thus adding greatly to the interest and enthusiasm of the occa- sion. His remarks evoked frequent bursts of applause, especially his ref erences to and advocacy of the right of the people everywhere, to govern themselves. Mr. Sulzer is one of the very best friends Alaska has in Cong ress, and our people were glad of the opportunity to make his better ac- quaintance.

Washington, July With the coming of July, the political caulldron, which has been simmering for some time with an occasional bubble, has commenced to boil in real earnest. Prominent democrats of this city have, for some time, been canvassing the situation in the west, where they realize the next standard bearer tor the party of Jefferson must come from and as the result of that canvass have decided to ask William Jennings Bryan to step down and out as can didate for the presidency, and support John A.
