EXCURSION
 FATAL
Special to the Gold Digger. By the United Press.


 NEW YORK, July 19.--An excursion in the lower bay last night ended fatal ly for ten of twenty two passengers when the sloop Roxana capsized and drowned almost half the number of persons on board.
 The little vessel, owned by private parties. went on an excursion yester- day morning to Long Island and was returning at night when the accident occurred.
 The craft was nearing home when going to the gunWale of the vessel the passengers capsized the boat throwing the passengers and crew into the wa ter helpless.
 The darkness made it impossible to rescue the passengers who were unable to swim, and when the boat was sighted by a passing tug only twelve of the excursionists and crew were alive
 The tug picked the survivors up and carried them to the wharf where they were hurriedly taken to their homes The bodies of the drowned may never be recovered owing to a strong tide that is expected to carry them out to sea.

 FIGHT ENGRAVERS

the engravers.
 The trouble arose over demands made by the cngravers, who insist upon higher wages and shorter hours. The first fight occurred in the office of the Examiner, one of Hearts papers, and a hurried meeting of the publishers re suited in the agreement to lock out the engravers. Every paper in the city entered into the agreement, and all are appearing without pictures.
 The publishers, having their publica- tions as weapons against the engrav- CTS are using every edition to fight the engravers, and it is probable that the latter win plead for arbitration to set tie the difficulty Ii is noticeable that since the lockout the papers have nc been selling on the street as rapidly as before. which fact is expected to cause much annoyance to the publish CTS, unless an early settlement is reached.

house at the corners is more potent ultimately than Dreadnought of the seas. The little church on the hill is worth a score of regiments. Success in agriculture, commerce, and manu- facture presages certain triumph in war If the cause be just.

Think you one would do so now when we are strong-aye, stronger in ultimate resources than any one or two or three foreign powers?

The declaration of Mr. Flaw kins, head man from the Guggenheim pro- lects in western Alaska to the effect that certain selt-ordained political agents were soon to be repudiated by that company comes none to soon. There has been feeling all over Alaska that certain political workers in Alaska have been assuming author ity which they do not possess. The Guggenhelm interests as well as all the corporate interests in Alaska, can befriend the people of Alaska by a hearty cooperation to secure adequate laws for this territory. They could go step further and assist the people in securing legislature made up ot good, honest citizens, who have the interests of all the people at heart.
 Now that the Guggenheims have been placed on record as being free from political lobbyists and minpula- tors they will find that Alaskans are anxious to welcome capital to open this great territory and that their interests will receive the same consid- eration as those of any other company or man.-Juneau Dispatch.
