LOCAL DELEGATES
 GETTING W0R|EO
NO NEWS OF THE STEAMERS
Are Wondering How They Are Going to Reach Seward in Time for Con- gates Will Run the Affair.

The dearth of news from Seattle regarding the sailing of steamers out of that port for the North, is causing considerable apprehension among the Republican politicians of Valdez. The convention at Seward is to be held one week from today, and it was the intention of local politicians to reach there if possible by the 18th. So far no news of the sail of the Admiral line boat, which was expected to leave Sunday, has been received here, and the Northwestern, which was scheduled to sail north last night was not reported this morning. As con- sequence there is considerable uneas- mess here as to whether the delegates from this place will be able to reach the convention city in time to partici- pate, and this also applies to the del egates from Southeastern Alaska and the Interior. It is feared that if these delegations do not show up at the appointed hour. the few delegates at Seward will call the convention to order and run things to suit them selves.
