INSURGENTS WILL HOLD
FIGHT AGAINST CANNON

Washington June S.-That all
danger of another insurgent onslaught
on Cannon is over for this session is
intImated by insurgent leaders here.
Organization leaders are breathing a
little easier and it is hoped that the
final work of congress can be hurried
and the end of the session reached
without any more open clashes be-
tween the two factions. Following n
campaign plan outlined some time
ago, the insurgents have decided to
save Cannon for prediction material
and the battle against the speaker
and his rules will be transferred to
the stump during September and Oc-
tober
There Is n double purpose for the
move, It is declared by political lead
ers. 1t is believed that the fight
against Cannon will be the most spec
tacular and interesting feature the
insurgents can get hold of, and 1t is
further believed that If he were GUST
ed now the insurgents might be ac-
cused of too close affiliation with the
democrats.
Since any movement against the
speaker depends on Democratic help
the insurgents fear that q fight on
him before the campaign might give
the regulars" too much campaign
ammunition.

tinct purpose of the meeting is to plan
a fight against the denomination and
election of LaFollette to the senate.

WILL VISIT
WILDS OF AIASK \

Seattle, June S.-With a party OF
friends and financiers numbering
about 10, the personnel of which is
not made public, Jacob H. Schiff of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of New York, will
leave for a tour Of Alaska next month
on the steamer Ramona, which has
been chartered for this purpose. The
vessel will come here shortly to be
overhauled and $50 900 will be spent
to fit her for the cruise
Mr.. Schiff arrives here July l and
leaves few days later. He has con-
templated an Alaskan tour for some
time. Last year George w. Perkins.
Of Morgan & Co.. a director of the
Natinoal City bank, of which Schiff is
a director, cruised in Alaskan waters
for two months on the steamer Yu-
catan, recently wrecked in the north
II was intended to take the Yucatan
this season but a mishap changed
the plans and the Ramona, which
succeeded the lost Czarina between
Coos Bay and San Francisco, was Sc
cured.
Perkins experiences determined the
Schiff party to view Alaska, and it
is expected this interest presages
a further investment of capital in
the north.
The Ramona will be luxuriantly
furnished. The party will go via the
inside passage to Skagway, thence to
White Horse via the White Pass rail-
road, down the Yukon to Dawson and
to St Michael, where they Will re-
join the Ramona and continue along
