 Washington, Nov. 6.-It is announc- ed here on good authority that nc matter whether Alaska demands ir convention a form of territorial gov ernment, and no matter what amount of strength backs the demand, con- gress will not under any circumstance comply with the demand. Congress man Tawney and Speaker Cannon are both emphatic in their statement in this regard. They state that the prin- cipal reason for the refusal to com pity with the demands will be Hog gatt's opposition to the measure.
 Huron, s. D., Nov. After a weeks maneuvering the Sioux warri- ors and the Ute braves have succeeded in forming junction. Indications point to severe fighting as the Indians are we'll equipped for carrying out a hard campaign. Additional troops are being rushed to the front as fast as possib ble, but even at best it is likely to mean an all-winter campaign and much bloodshed before the revolting savages can be forced to return to their reservations. No details as to how the Indians succeeded in outwit- ting the troops sent to prevent the junction of the two forces have been received.
 New York, Nov. "A big shiploent of cash was forwarded from here to- day for St. Paul where it will be suti- lized in the movement of crops raised this year throughout the northwest :. James J. Hill is lending considerable aid to the movement. The money situa- tion is much easier and by the enN 0i the week a sufficient quantity of E .dd ha tn 10 hu lc to handle their large volume of busi- nesss with ease. But little selling of copper was done today, but, while the demand weakened, the price remain ed at fourteen and one-quarter.
 New York, Nov. Full returns from all sections of New Jersey show that Katzenback, democratic candidate for governor, was not elected as was yesterday. His lead of if- teen thou sand at that time was mater ially reduced by later returns and full returns show his defeat. The legisla- ture is also strongly republican, most of the candidates having been elected by safe majorities.
 Seattle, Nov. Tt has been an nounced here that the Guggenheims have abandoned Katalla as a terminal, and have decided to make Cordova their connecting point with naviga- tion. Contracts covering the construc- tion of the line and the Improvements at Cordova have been awarded to Heney. The steamer Yucatan will leave Saturday for the new treminal location with large number of men and the necessary appliances for be- ginning operations at once. E. c. Hawkins will be placed in charge oi the construction work. The reason assigned for the abandonment of Ka- talla as terminal point is the practi- cal impossibility of successfully erect ing the proposed breakwater from the island to the shore line which would be necessary to make Katalla a safe harbor and available shipping point. The coal road to Katalla will, however, be completed.
 Seattle, Nov. 7.-The Post-Intelli- gencer publishes today a lengthy ed itorial com mmenting on the advices re- ceived from Washington ye terday, setting forth the assertion that con- gress will not allow the passage o1 any legislation tending toward the in. troduction of home rule in Alaska. The P-I advises Alaskans and those interested in territorial government not to become discouraged, but te work all the harder to overcome the known objections to home rule. It is suggested that one method of obtain ing results would be to have the ques- tion incorporated in the platforms o the principal parties at their nationa conventions, and that Alaska delegates to the national convention should bt so instructed. This would have ; tendency to show the earnestness O the people in their demands, and place congress in a position where it would be forced to take favorable action.
