FRAME HAS DIFFICULTY
 IN GETTING TICKET

VALDEZ, July S1.-The Progress sive Democratic" (J. w. Frame) con- vent!on yesterday afternoon nominat. ed Delegate James Wickersham as it's candidate for reelection. Represen- tative Robert D. Gray, of Katalla, was nominated for Senator; Charles Day of Valdez, S. L. Colwell of Seward, T. B. Tansey of Kennecott and N. E. Old ham of Sunrise, for representatives.
 Mayor E. D. Ritchie and Represen' tative F. M Boyle were nominated for Senator before the nomination was given to Gray, but they declined. May or Ritchie announced that he would op- pose -he reelection of Delegate Wick ersham. Dr. Boyle was later nomin. ated for representative, but declined that nomination also.
 {: It is believed that Representative Gray will refuse to be the candidate of the party for Senator and that oth- CT candidates will also withdraw. Only one nomination was made to stick to anyone who was present.
 There was very little interest in the convention here, and no one was in the city as an attendant except E. c. Aus tin, of Ketchikan.

PERSEVERANCE MARRIED
 MEN TURN TABLES

PERSEVERANCE, July BOA re- turn game was played on the baseball grounds at Perseverance mine be. tween the Married Men and the Sin gle Men, resulting in a score: Married Men, 14; Single Men, 4.
 The wives of the married men held a meeting and resolved that each would attend the game and personally see that her man did his duty. The result tells the effect.
 Both teams did excellent work in the five innings played, the batting of Oscar Oberg attracting the attention of all the fans. There were a few changes in the lineup from the other game, which no doubt accounts for the balance on the other side. The roster was as follows
 Married Men-Gravrock, 1st; Ben son, ss; Shattuck, c; McDaniels, If; Trompen, p; Chamberlain, If; Edring' ton, End; Doherty, 3rd Oberg, of.
 Single Men-Jackson, 1Gt; Nichol' son, ss; Root, c; Wilson, If; Smith D; Mauerhan, If; Erickson, 2nd; Cor bell, 3rd; Skuse, of.
 R. F. Scribener officiating as um pire, and it is reported that the mar rled ladies will fete him to show their appr eciation of his favorable judge ment.
 Quite a few visitors attended the game, coming all the way from Jun eau to see the fun.

CURACAO WILL GO
 UNDER OWN STEAM

Capt. c. P. Mccarthy, of the Pacific Coast company's Delhi, says that Capt. Bissett told him that he would take the Curacao from Swifts cannery under her own steam after cleaning her up a bit. The only damage done to the vessel at the time she was wrecked and sunk, according to Capt. Bissett's statement to Capt. Mccarthy, was the loss of five riYets and the bulging in of one plate. Aside from the havoc wrought on the fine lockwood rail by toredos little if any damage has been done to the vessel during the months she has lain in the water Capt. Bis sett states that S1O,OOO will put the vessel in good shape.
 "The raising of the ship" said Capt. Mccarthy, "is the finest piece of engin- eering ever witnessed. She was ly- ing in about 2 fathoms of water. Capt. Bissett dug channel toward the shore through which he expected to drag the ship. He used three scows for lifting, two abreast the fore mast and one over the stern, Four teen cable were dragged under the bottom, each operated by separate windless. When everything was in readiness the preliminary lift was made. She was raised about two feet, then hauled inshore about 24 feet and twisted round into the channel where she was allowed to rest until she was given her final lift and fioated free"
 The Delhi arrived in Juneau yester' day and is discharging coal at the Pa cifc Coast company's dock.
 Under Water 13 Months.
 The Curacao struck an uncharted rock near Warm Chuck on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island early in the morning of June 21. last year and immediately began taking in wa ter through hole under her coal bunkers. She was headed for Swift's cannery, and settled to the bottom just after the passengers and crew had been taken into the life boats. She had almost a capacity cargo aboard when she sank. much of which has been salved.

GERMAN MAKES LAST EFFORT.

Berlin, July 31.-Emperor Wll- Ham, as final step In his efforts In behalf of peace, has dispatched Grand Duke Hesse, brother of the Empress of Russia, to endeaVor to arrange peace terms directly with the czar.
 There Is no attempt to conceal the fact that the Emperor Is des- perately in earnest In hls effort to prevent war In Europe. He feels now as he did not a few days ago that if Germany should become involved into war with Russia, Great Britain and Belgium will at tack him on his Western border, and that such a conflict, no mat ter what the fortune of watedr might bring forth, would be dis astrous to business and the peo' ple.

ANOTHER PLEDGE ABOUT
 TO BE FULFILLED

The Jones bill, introduced by the author with the approval of the Presi- dent, fulflls another platform pledge. It declares that it has never been the intention of the people of the United States to make the war with Spain war of conquest or territorial ag- grandizement. but that on the con trary it has always been the purpose of the United States to recognize the independence of the Philippines as soon as a stable government could be established there. This bill provides for increased participation by Filipin- oes in their government and will, when passed, restore the prestige which the nation lost when it entered upon a career of imperialism.-W. J. Bryan in Commoner.
