Fire at City Dunn.

The chemical engine responded to
a still alarm for a fire on the city
dump on River street, about 1870 Fri
day morning. Persons who telephon-
ed in to the department feared that
sparks would set nearby buildings
afire. This dump was the cause Of
many calls two or three years ago,
but a short time ago it was partly
filed with dirt so no more trouble
was caused until this morning. 1t
was necessary to lay about 800 feet
of hose to play a stream of water on
the blaze.

FOREIGN OFFICE UPHOLDS
 THE DANISH COMPACT.

LONDON: A strong defense of the Foreign Office in regard to the much debated Danish trading agree ment Is made the Daily Chronicle this morning. The newspaper inti- mates that the version of the agree ment which has been circulated by 8 Danish commercial paper and to which various speakers in Parlia- ment have referred is a travesty of the real agreement and evidently was published by the enemy to ere ate a misunderstanding. The reason for it's non-publication officially is to be found in Danish objections and not in the British Foreign 0fncs1 re- luctance to allow a public examina- tion of it's policy. T
 The Chronicle says the Danish agreement does not impair British sea power nor does the agreement with the Netherlands Overseas trust. It expresses the wish that nimilar ar engagements could be concluded with Sweden which SO far has declined to make enc because of its hampering effect

STUDIOUsNEss.

Lincoln was singularly studious nan-not studious in the ordinary conventional sense. To be studfous in the ordinary conventional sense, if ! may judge by my observation of a university, is to do the things you have to do and not understand them particularly. But to be studious in the sense in which Mr. Lincoln was studious Is to follow eagerly and fear lessly the curiosity of mind which will not be satisfied unless it under stands. That is g deep studiousness, that is the thing which lays bare the nap of life and enables men to under skand the circumstances in which they I've as nothing else can do.--Wood- soW Wilson.

CANDIDATES WANTED

All those whose ambition is to be- come 8 delegate from congress from Alaska should come forward and give the people chane to study their qualifications and standing, to know what party they belong and all that. h Alaska to run in at the last mom- ant an unknown quantity for candid ate will not do. This has been proven several times. The voters want to know. They have become inquisitive and will not give Tom, Dick or Harry their support just because he belongs to this or that party, or because he is endorsed by this or that machine.
 The voters want man with the courage of his conviction and not tied to this or that faction. In other words they want a man who will not fool them, but who will fight their battle.
 After a certain amount of consid- eration had been digested, if we had anything to do with the nomination
