Structed their delegates for Joslin and Fairbanks may be expected to go solid for Burns who IS very popular in that division. The primaries in this division have about all elected uninstructed delegates. Juneau's choice, if any, will not be known un- til Saturday but on that choice, pec- pie, will depend a great deal. You watch.
 In the Juneau deliberations will be either the silent or oLtspoken voices of Governor Strong, Judge Jennings, Committeeman Cheney, Secretary Davidson and others of the big guns. The chances are that they have wait ed to see what way the wind would blow over the territory before letting the capital take the great step.
 At the Fairbanks primaries such men were elected delegates as Mar tin Harrais, Dan Callahan, E. " Griffin and R. F. Roth. In the last election Griffin was the chief support CT of Harrais and Callahan was sup porter of Jennings. Callahan, by the way, has now announced his candi- dacy for the territorial senate. He is member of the city council and is known all over Alaska as "The Big Chief. He is also prominent as a foe of the present United States mac shal of that division, Judge Erwin.

By the time the Cos sacks rode down the crowd had separ- ated into several mObs and while one body of rioters was receiving the brunt of the armed attack the other re-mObO- Iized and the fighting is still going on fierceIy throughout the streets.
 The soldiers were unable to dislOdge the mObs from some of the barricades but in other places thousands of men were made to flee before the hOrsemen through some of the beautiful thor Oughfares.
 The whole riot began when the work CTS of the capital met to demonstrate in sympathy with the strikers of the Baku province against whom severe measures were adopted by the authOri. ties. This demonstration promises now to develop into an upheaval.

ULSTER STILL
 RAISING CAIN
KINGS CONFERENCE GOING ON BUT AGREEMENT IS BE-
 LEVIED IMPROBABLE

LONDON, July 22.-The con ference called by King George to discuss the Irish Home Rule question with view to reaching a settlement is still going on but fears are entertained that no agreement will be arrived at. Sir Edward Carson still demands the exclusion of Ulster but John Redmond refuses to give way one inch from the stand taken by him before. This makes it look like a deadlock and the old fear is again arising that Ireland can not avoid bloodshed.
 The Nationalist volunteer army is growing at a tremendous pace and a quarter of a million men have now been enrolled and are being trained to resist any at tempt to have Home Rule snatch ed away once again. It is either peaceful settlement by the kings conference which is now in session or fighting in Ireland greater than since the rebellion of 179S.
 Asquith, Lloyd George and their colleagues are standing by Redmond's party as strongly as ever and will give away nothing that Redmond is not willing to lose. The result of the confer ence is being awaited with in- tense anxiety and the king him self has gone through it deeper into politics than any other Brit ish ruler since the Georges.

FRENCH PARTY LEAVES

Major l.. II. French Once More In Harness in the Alaska Mining
 World

Major l.. T. French will leave for Sunrise tomorrow to enter into the work arising from the recent deals made there by himself and Charles F.. Heron. The major will be accom- panied by Paddy F. Cummings and Frank Reese Mir. Heron went out on the Northwestern this morning but will return soon.
 When asked this morning if he wished to tell where he is going and what he intended to do the major told the Questioner just to mention it in one line that he was going,
 That's all." he said. "Wno the deuce cares whether I am going or not.
 But the rc-entry of Major French into the life of Alaska is an item of news that will be read with interest from his old friend Governor Strongs residence in Juneau to far off Seward peninsula. In the old days ne was probably the most widely known pri- vate individual in all Alaska. To him and the late Dr. Whitehead Of Nome was due the building of the Seward Peninsular railroad to the KougaroE and the major individually has been the moving spirit in other large en- .erpriSes. He has also written most interesting work about that part of the territory and no less a writer than Rex Beach has written the fOreword Co it..
 Tn writing about Major French, Beach has said so many nice things that one could hardly repeat them !n the hearing of the former.
