General Sale stated that the militia

until after iiopcwcll receives !: char
ter and is incorporated. IIopcwell Will
have 10 secure it's charter at the hands
OF the General Assembly, and that
body does not convene until January
II. II is expected that II will hc =,
week or more after the General Assem-
bly, convcncs before the charter mat
ter can be brought M. and ii would
appear now that IL Will certainly lie
towards tho last OF January or first of
February before the machinery OF city
government can supplant military
rule
speaking last night OF the reccn; in
tcrcst in military matters in the State.
General Sale stated that there wcr. 4
number Of applications FOR the formn.
ton of new companies AT present
there are companies forming In Roam
ok". Newport News and I.Nnchburg.
The l.ynchburE company has been
drilling for III" past month or more.
The city has granted AN appropriation
for an armory. and partial expenses
and this company will start OF with
impetus.
In Roanoke the company is being
formed with an exceptionally fine per
sonnet. and will probably l.. put into
service in the near future. There is
{, vacancy in the coast artillery branch
OF the service, and General Sale stated
that the Roanoke company may be
mustered in to I'LL this vacancy. He
said The Roanoke citizens arc euthus-
iastic over the securing OF The COM
pany.

General Sale Expects Military Rule

CHASE CITY COMPANY on DUTY
Provisional Company From Norfolk
Probably Will BE Ordered to Gun
cotton City Within Next Ten DAYS.
Expect Action by Legislature.

The Charse City Militia Company will
remain in Hopcwcll for the coming ten
days or more. according 10 the an
nouncemcnt last night Of .\dJutant-
General W. W. Sale. lie stated that
in all probability there would he "a
provisional company OF men selected
from the various Norfolk companies to
relieve tho Chase City company at
the end Of their stay in lIopewcll.
General Sale spoke very highly Of
The Chase city company. stating that
II has performed Its duty well. He
had intended scndini: the Suffolk COM
pany to the relief of the Chase City
boys. but owing to tho absence of
Captain Buykin. of tho former com
pany. he Was forced to change his plans
and To decide on the provisional COM
pany from Norfolk. Captain Euykin
has been elected To a position in the
Virginia Military Institute and is alb
sent on leave for the time
One of the greatest difficulties he
Ing met with in placing ono Of the
militia companies as Il whole on duty
in ii"p"wcll is the fact that some Of
the men find il hard "a get off from
their work. II Was decided. therefore,
TO choose such men as could leave from
the various companies in Norfolk. and
to use them as one company. This.
ii Is believed. will solve the problem
better than taking one company.

Before a large audience of the native
 population the Malamutes barely es-
 caped defeat by the native ball tossers
 of the Methodist Mission. With the
 score standing % to 26 the Malamutes came to the bat in the last inning and
 managed 10 get the required extra
 run to save them from defeat The
 game in many ways was excellent and
 from the beginning proved to be a
 swat fest Captain Lomen kindly
 loaned the natives a pitcher and Peery
 went in but he fared badly at the hands
 of the Malamutes and Fox, who started
 for the Malamutes. was switched to the native team and Walter Johnson
 went on the slab for the Malamutes. Charlie Thompson. who will catch for the Malamutes during the next game
 because Capt Lomen is not able to
 play on account of receiving an in- jury at the last game, caught for both teams after the second inning Charlie
 was somewhat peeved because he did not see first base In the last regular game. although he hit the ball hard each time, so to make sure he would
 not get thrown out at first. he put the
 ball into the gallery every time he was
 up The game was exciting during the entire contest and the natives show
 that with more practice they will be
 tbe to give any of the league teams
 | hard run for their money On the bases some of them are Tightening fast tnd on one occasion native started
 70 steal home and slid about half the distance for the prettiest steal that has been pulled off during the past two years. After the Malamutes got their winning run over time of practice was ID and the floor was turned over to
 the Tigers who had snappy practice
 Capt. Kirk wore a smile all evening as 1 he has a much stronger team than at any time during the season. His catcher. Marr, is here and is working in old time form. Boone and Powell
 are also back in the game and Kirl, predicts winning the next game by a good margin. At the A. B. hall the Eagles and Bears divided the time on
 that diamond and had satisfactory
 practices, and it looks as though the layoff during the holidays did not hurt

 INTERESTING LETTER

Frank Aldrich seems to be very pop ular and well thought of by all creeds out this way, and many asked me about his chances in our division. Bunnell men were thick as bees at Juneau and lots of their buttons were in view We will get into Seattle on the 9th and it looks as if we will beat both the Senator and Victoria Quite a little betting going on and am holding stakes for quite a wad We have dandy solo games and q little black jack. \ After seeing these other towns Nome gets my goat The Czars are having heir day now; but every dog has his ] ay.
 4th was fine sunny day and everyone 1 ut on deck taking in the view Friday the 5th we entered Seymour arrows about midnight, then our rud- CT gear busted and the continual blowing of the whistle and everyone got up thinking we hit something We lsed our auxiliary steering gear until i, he cable was spliced and about one thirty q. m went serenely on our way inone the worse
 Last night I picked up quite q lot of |election regarding the state of Wash |ington, about its going dry, etc, and 'this morning I gave Q number of other steamers the dope who were unable to pick up anything so there are others worse than the Corwin. AS yet have not received any Alaska results as the only interest so far is the coast state results, and tonight will gather in some Alaska news. There is no censorship out here as the air is full of dope and free for all of those who have the in- telligence to gather it.
 Today is another one of sunshine and We expect to arrive in Seattle at s a. m. Nov. 9th and this will no doubt ter minate this letter, and trust you will excuse it's length. It has aided me in passing away much of my extra time of which had plenty Later on will write you of things outside and the sourdoughs that I may meet.
 Taking it all in all We had a very pleasant cruise and is a trip worth while. With best wishes to you and all my friends, am as ever.

 Can hear the Senator now, she is near the straits. and will beat us 12 hours l think Just heard the Victoria also but we will beat her in o. K.
 We arrived at d. m. the 9th and now lodging autos and street cars. Got in several pockets, but always got out without a seratch-never thought could move so fast.

 Nov. 3rd. Raining as usual. with a little sun at intervals. Running along some marrow channels now, some snugiy hidden coves and lots of i'm mense water falls.

 Well this is election day and wonder what's in the cards. At the towns we stopped at the democrats take 1t for granted that Bunnell will get the big gest vote at Seward Peninsula and when 1 gave them my opinion that WICK would get 1t, they could not be. lieYe 1t or take any stock in 1t. Guess some one has been peddling to the democrats pretty strong out this way. They believe that they are going to get the entire Gilmore vote as well n g their own. A few days will tell the sad story and We will all be wiser.
