Beauregard GOOO0 and GO,O00 all of

General Johnston also states that
never had there been purpose of
advancing into Maryland and I'm let

numbers and condition of this army
have at no time justified our assuming

Neither event occurred for two weeks,
but both were being considered. Dur.

had an interesting sequel.
liter this position was abandoned by
the southern troops at the end of Sep
tember 1t was found that they had no
works worthy the name and that their
armament consisted of two painted
logs and stovepipe. Yet with these
Quaker guns they had held off the
vanguard OF the Army Of the Potomac
for several weeks. Their position and
intrenchments looked formidable, aud
the Union troops let it go at that and
did not attack. This was during Nc
Clellan's nervous weeks, when he was
writing TO his wife almost daily eX-
pressions OF surprise that Beauregard
did not attack him. Finally when the
small force of Confederates ut Nun
sons hill and other points roundabout
withdrew of their own motion their
positions were occupied by the Fed
erals.
An incident at about this time
throws n rather luminous side light on
the situation and reveals something OF
AIcClellan's military tactics. 1t was
reported that the Confederates We're
ngain fortifying Matthias point, on the
Potomac, and We're threatening nayi.
cation. To dislodge them n combined
naval and military movement was
planned. Mcclellan agreed TO furnish
the troops, and the Potomac hotilla OF
gunboats were TO land these and CO.

ready and the boats prepared for the

gineers had reported against the plan

Another promise was thereupon
made that the land forces would be
ready the next night, and once more
the boats got in position. Again tho
troops failed to show up. On second
inquiry being made the most sats!ec
tion the naval officers could get w1ls
that Mcclellan opposed the movement
fearing it wouid bring on general
engagement, for which he was not thcr

The Chitina leader., 1911-01-21

Washington, Jan. 21.-The Sen
ate is considering the best method of
the election of United States Sena-
tors. The Judiciary Committee has
submitted a report in favor of the
selection of its membership of the
Senate by a direct vote of the peo-
pie. Bourne wept tears of joy when
the report was brought in. The
Oregon Senator believes most enthu-
siastically in the principle of the d.
rect vote, for he happens to be in
Washington through the favor of his
fellow citizens. There are several
others In the Senate who believe as
does the Oregon Senator but there
are a few who do not give up the
old for the new, with facility, and
they will give the reformers merry
battle.
Senator Dillinger dissented from
the report, while Senator Rayner is
opposed to a direct vote of the peo-
pie on the subject. There will be
considerable filibustering over the
bill and it seems likely that there
will not be any action at this ses-
sion.
The Chitina leader., 1911-01-21

Hereafter Cordova will be the on
ly port north of Juneau which can
enter and clear foreign vessels, as
the SUPPORT at Valdez was closed by
an order of the Secretary of the
Treasury just issued on January Is.
This will mean that all of the coal
on Prince William Sound must be
cleared from the port of Cordova
For a time a man was stationed at
Seward by the government to weigh
coal, but he was not allowed to clear
vessels.
The growing volume of business
handled by the port of Cordova, both
domestic and foreign, has convinced
the government that this port is en-
titled to the fullest possible recogni-
ton. 1t means that when the coal is
opened up the business will be con-
centrated at this point. 1t is but
another industrial straw showing the
direction of the wind which is to
make Cordova a large and prosperous
city and will further carry out its
claims as the great clearance house
or gateway for the interior.
