CABLE LINE IS
 WORKING AGAIN

Communication over the United States cable was established this morn ing with the outside world. The re- pair crew on the Rapid Transit got in communication with the Juneau office little before seven o'clock last night, and it worked until it was too dark to proceed. Work was resumed at 5 o'clock this morning. and at about 9 o'clock Juneau and Sitka were con- nected, and the messages began to come. The local office is flooded with work.
 The line between Ketchikan and Wrangen has not been repaired, nor that between Wrangell and Cape Fan shaw. It was discovered by the Rapid Transit that the line between Cape Fanshaw and Sitka was damaged also, and it was discovered to be necessary to repair that before the Juneau wire was mended
 Those at Seattle in charge of the United States cable and telegraph lines in Alaska claim that they did what they thought was the best possible thing for them to do when they se- cured the Rapid Transit to repair the Alaska cable. They say that there was no other vessel. capable of doing the work, available. The Burnside has been in the drydock and was out of commission, and they had to secure merchant steamer to do the work

Gov. Strong Talks
 Through Hearst Papers

F. H. Hamilton special representa- tive of the Hearst newspapers with the New Seattle Chamber of Com merce excursion, sent the following in terview with Gov J. F. A. Strong to his newspapers. it was published in the San Francisco Examiner of July Sth:
 Juneau, June 29.-In the conflict of opinions and interests encountered in the Seattle Chamber of Commerce ex- petition of inquiry as to what is the matter with Alaska, an outspolen off cial word was given by Gov J. F. A. Strong, the recently appointed Chief Executive of the Territory.
 As Major Strong has "mushed" on the trails, toiled iu the mines, owned and edited papers in Dawson, Nome, Fairbanks, Juneau and other centers of the Territory, and as he seems to be singularly popular with all the con tenders in the conflicts of the North land, his views. as he detailed them to Seth Mann, the Presidents represen- tative. and myself are worthy the con sideration of all those who are inter- ested in Alaska's general complaint
 What is Alaska's principal need?" l asked, to open the subject.
 Adequate land transportation facil- ities-railroads, roads and trails" was the reply Our coast Alaskan pan handle is easily accessible through her splendid water routes, but the inter- for is inaccessible and it is a land of magnificent distances.
 "The great and productive interior can be reached by trunk railroads from five points-three through all American territory and two partly through Alaska and partly through British Columbia and the Yukon ter ritory"
 Vast Territory to Cover.
 Should those railroads be built by the government or by private cap ital?"
 On this question the Governor pom dered long before he replied;
 Every pioneer is an individualist. He believes he can help himself if he is given a chance But our conditions

COLONEL ON DOWN
 GRADE, SAYS HENRY

NEW YORK, July 21-"Col. ROose- welt has reached the top of the hill From now on he will go down the oth- CT side. I do not think he will ever again be formidable as a candidate for President"
 This was one of the opinions ex- pressed on the politics of the day by "Marse" Henry Watterson, according to an interview with teh noted South ern editor in the Brooklyn Eagle yes terday. Col. Watterson had been at the Shelbourne, Coney Island, several days, but yesterday went to the Larch- mont Yacht club for a brief stay be- fore his return to Louisville from the Lake Erie ceremonies.
 By way of supplementing his orig inal statement as to Col. Roosevelt, Col. Watterson added:
 'No man can tell what Roosevelt will do next, but do not believe he will be an important factor in the poli- tics of the future"

are such as have not existed in other parts of our country We have 591,- 900 square miles of territory and a coast line of 23,OOOO miles nearly the circumference of the globe Our top ography is unique.
 So, though the pioneers do not be- lieve in paternalism, they don't think our special conditions can be met un- less the Government builds and oper- ates the railroads.
 The only alternative is to have Congress guarantee the bond issues of the railroads built by private capital, as has been done in the Philippines
 Such railroads would open up mines of gold, copper and coal and timber tracts, and would stimulate agricul- ture, so that it would be but a short time before there would be tonnage sufficient to make the roads pay.
 Superior Coal at Hand.
 What of your much discussed coal situation?"
 Every pound of coal used in Alas ka comes from British Columbia, when we have far superior coal right at hand. We have as fine coal in the Boring river and Matanuska fields as can be found anywhere in the United States - bituminous, semi-bituminous and anthracite. Our steam coal has been shown to be equal to the famous Pocahontas coal of Virginia.
 But our fields are all tied up. They were withdrawn from entry by President Roosevelt in 1906. Nearly all the claims that had been filed were canceled. It was stated that the men who filed the claims wanted to steal the public domain.
 q cant sustain that view, because I know many of the men who located those claims They would no more steal the public domain than they would steal your purse.
 Probably there were some attempts at fraud; but we are dealing with a condition, not theory, and we find our coal lands absolutely tied up.
 'I am conversationist, but bot ting up is not conservation. That is reservation, and Alaska is reserved al most to death"

MEXICAN MOB EXAMPLE OUR FLAG
TIGERS FAMED
 BY THE PIRATES

The c. W. Young Tigers, were tanned in seyen-inning game on the local grounds last night by Tom Radonichs Pirates. The score-5 to 1. It was a pitchers battle in which Hunt, the big Pirate king, had better support than the small Frye that was occu- pying the mound for the Tigers. There were many spectacular plays In the last half of the third the first sensa- ton was caused by Mullen. He drove hit through Wright and started sprinting round the diamond He passed second and was well on to- ward third when he suddenly he stopped and laid down to rest. The ball had been thrown to Loucks and if he had not quit he could have made it but Loucks walked over and tagged him out Wilts lifted a little pop-up in the sixth--it looked like a gum drop to Mcbride and he struck a beautiful pose and waited till it went through and hit the grass and Wits was safe.
 The Tigers got first blood in the first inning. Wright hit safe; Zott was safe on Hunts error and Wright moved to second : Saegers was safe on field CTS choice and Wright attempted to come home but was nipped at the plate, Zott scored on a pasesd ball and .Saegers, who had stolen second, tried to make third on McBride's nfeld hit and was caught, Mcbride was safe on the play; Loucks struck out. The Pi- rates got no hits nor runs in their half
 The Tigers couldn't do anything in the next. Hunt was safe on Zotts error and Bayless was hit by a pitched ball; Mullen sent a long fly to center which Graham dropped; Hunt and Bayless hiked round the diamond, Hunt scoring but Bayless was nipped at the plate while Mullen roasted on third Knapp hit safe SCOT ing Mulch: Knapp stole second and went third on a passed ball; Hurl- butt famed; Harris walked, but Wilts dropped a little one in Me Brides hands. Runs, 2.
 Again the Tigers failed to draw blood Wulzen was safe on Louck's error; Coughlin was safe on felder's choice forcing Wulzen at second; Hunt was safe on error of Frye; Coughlin and Hunt moved on a passed ball; Bayless hit safe scoring Hunt and Coughlin; Mullen drove a liner through Wright scoring Bayless and was caught on the path between second and third; Knapp was safe on the error of Graham. but Hrulbutt could not deliver a hit and was out. Frye to Zott Runs, 8.
 This ended the run-getting. Follow ing is the score by innings.

Defense Still Works on
 SeIf-DefenSe Theory

! ward her husband, as stated above.
 Mrs. Macdonald testified that she had burned the shirt Mir. Macdonald had on at the time of the struggle with Jones because it had blood on one of the sleeves and cuffs.
 Mrs. Macdonald was given a long and vigorous ross-eXamination to test her memory and to lay founda rious for impeachment. She admitted that on some of the minor details her testimony at other hearings was diff erent than it was yesterday.
 R. A. Kinzie and Mark McKanna had also testified as to the shot that had been fired at Macdonald through the bathroom window.
 Juror Takes Hand in Examination.
 After the cross examination of Mrs. MacDonald Juror Fred Handy, of Haines. asked permission to ask some question, and in a few questions he eHcited a straight story as to where Mrs. Macdonald was at all times dur ing the shotting and the few minutes that preceded it. and where she had seen the men. and the directions that Jones had come from.
 Saw Jones Draw Gun.
 Victor l.. Cross. of Burlington Yer mont who was employed at the Treadwell in 1902, was the first wit ness to testify that Jones was armed at the time of the shooting and was the first man to attempt to use a gun. He said that he saw the men distinct ly. standing two or three feet apart. Macdonald was waving Jones away. He did not hear what was said He said Macdonald backed off a few feet. and Jones jumped, grabbed him by the shoulder with his left hand and, at the same time, drew from his pock- ct what l took to be a revolver, and what l still think was a gun"
 As Jones brought his hand in front of him, continued Cross, they clinehed, and it was probably the frac- tion of a minute before the shooting occurred. I heard four shots fired. After the shooting, the two men sep arated Macdonald started toward the store, and Jones kind of backed away toward Douglas, or, toward the hy- drant."
 Cross testified that before the shoot ing he saw Jones and heard the latter tell Tom Noonan that the mines would have to close on Sundays or he would kill Macdonald"
 Men Clinched, Jones Aggressor.
 Nick Gurnich, who was employed at the TreadweH for II years, but who is now a contractor at Prince Rupert. sad that he saw the shooting of Jones by Macdonald, and that Jones made the attack on Macdonald. He said that he had something in his hand which he took to be a gun or a knife. Atkinson Saw Jones Attack Macdonald
 Alex Atkinson, who was the black smith at the 700 mine, testified that he saw the fight between Macdonald and Jones. He said they were only a few feet apart when he saw them, and that Jones attacked Macdonald by grabbing his shoulder with his left hand. He saw the right hand go to the hip pocket, but he was too far away to see whether or not he drew a revolver He heard four shots.
