ALAMEDA ARRIVES
 AT EARLY HOUR Came from Westward Two Hours Before Her Schedule Time and
 Caused Passengers to Hurry

The steamer Alameda slipped into port this morning long before she was expected and required some hust- ling on the part of Valdez citizens, who were intending passengers for the States. It had been reported from Seward last night that the steamer would reach Valdez about 8 o'clock this morning and when she arrived at 5:30 even the City Express was nearly caught mapping.
 There were few passengers from the westward as the tide of travel southward at this season of the year is almost wholly confined to business men who are going to the States to arrange for next summers ship ments. Beginning with New Year } day the travel northward begins and gains in volume with each sailing of the steamers from Seattle until Hid summer, when it again declines.
 The outgoing passengers from Val deg were: For Seattle: Mrs. A. von [Gunther and daughter Lena, Mark Gleason, Ralph M. Cummings. w. L. Smith, Lieut.. L. A. Kunzig, wife and family, w. N. Cuddy. Geo. F. White and Oscar Brink. For Cordova: H. |B. Ingram. w. M. Goodwin and L A Decker.

DEMOCRATS WILL
 MEET 0N MONDAY
Territorial Committeeman will Arr range Date for Holding Prima-
 ries and Nomination.

The members of the Democratic Territorial committee will meet in Valdez on Monday next to decide up. on the date when the primaries will be held as well as the date when the Territorial convention will be held when delegates to the National con- vention in St. Louis will be elected and the Democratic nominee for dele gate to congress chosen.
 There are eight members of the ter ritorial committee and one at large, who is the chairman, each division being allotted two members. Owing to the isolated conditions prevailing in the territory 1t is a difficult matter for this committee to meet as a whole. Nevertheless 1t does not de- tract from the interest that has and is being taken in the place where the convention is to be held.
 Fairbanks, Nome, Cordova, Sew ard, Ketchikan, Valdez and Juneau have presented their claims for the convention and all are hopeful that their city will be selected. At this time it is difficult to anticipate where the convention will be held as some of the committeeman have sent their proxies to committeeman who have not signif1ed their choice.
 It is reported from Fairbanks that the committeeman of Nome will fav- or holding the convention at Fair banks. This plan would have the en- dorsement of the committee of the Fourth division and should they se- cure few more votes Fairbanks would undoubtedly land the conven- tion. During the last campaign there was a strong effort to hold the convention in the interior town, but it was unable to secure the necessary number of votes and Skagway was se- lected.
 That the Democrats will have no lack of timber from which to select a standard bearer is indicated by the number of men whose names are be- ing put forward by their friends. Geo. Grigsby, of Nome, has announced his intention of seeking the nomination for delegate to congress, and would undoubtedly make good run as he is widely known.
 Fairbanks Democrats are reported as favoring William Burns of that division He was prominently men, toned during the last campaign but owing to business reasons declined to have his name go before the conven- tion
 Democrats of Southern Alaska are said to favor Senator Sulzer for the nomination, and he would be a strong candidate as he showed marked legis- lative ability during the last session of the legislature He is brother of former Governor Sulzer of New York, and owns big mining interests at Sul- ger. Alaska.

|NIERNED GERMAN
 REACHES FAIRBANKS
Made His Get-Away from Mounted Police at Dawson Between In- spectiOns-Many Germans
 are Held.

Frank Lenge, German, who was among the one hundred and fifty per sons who were interned at Dawson soon after the beginning of the Euro pean war, escaped from the North west Mounted Police and reached Fairbanks after considerable hard ships on the trail. He left the Yukon metropolis between inspections" as it were, and his absence was not mo- ticed until he had been on his way for week.
 The Fairbanks Citizen gives the following account of his experiences in Dawson after the war broke out.
 MT. Lenge is a baker and restau- rant man. He says that he was res ident of Dawson for five years prior to the time that the war brought out and that he enjoyed good business. Shortly after the war started, how ever, he noticed that his business was falling away AS result he had to close up shop, the only reason he can assign for the fact being that he is a German.
 And MT. Lenge states that all Ger mans who were in business in Daw- son were in a like predicament.. Be- ing old timers in the Yukon metrop- oils they were treated with every con- sideration by the authorities and the populace, but the fact that they were Germans was too much for the Brit ish population of the upper Yukon mining camp and as consequence they had to go out of business.
 Therefore there are no Germans in business in Dawson now. However, their property rights are respected, the falling off of business being nat ural outcome of the fact that they were aliens in an alien country. As Mir. Lenge expresses it. it would seem that Germans in Dawosn, while be- ing treated we'll enough, were con- boiled to stay in place where they could not get work For nobody in Dawson employs German if people of other nationalities are obtainable for such labor as there is to perform.
 Saturday is inspection day at the barracks in Dawson, and on that day all of the German residents of that portion of the country must report to the officer commanding. They go into the barracks in punches of IF, each bunch being assigned a certain hour for reporting. The chief lecture from the c. O., who tells each bunch that one Britisher is enough to handle 17 Germans or Austrians. :.
 The reporting to the barracks was no trouble to Mir. Lenge. But then, he did not come north for the pur- bose of staying where he could do nothing for himself, and therefore decided that he would make his get away.
 He figured it all out before he started. He and his fellow prison CTS were never molested by anybody and he had taken occasion to notice this fact. The only time that they were before an officer as prisoners was when they had to report on Sat urdays. ..
 Saturday, November 20, was the last, day that MT. Lange reported. Prior to that time he had secured the services of man and a dog team, telling the man to be ready to leave Dawson on the Saturday night after
