Harry Sorenson, a sailor, who was leaning over the hatch, was burned about the face and hande.

 Halibut, big and husky as they are, need protection, in the opinion of the United States bureau of fisheries. Hal ibut cannot be artifcially propagated, as salmon can, because halibut deposit their eggs on the deep sea bottom and not far up fresh water streams, as salmon deposit. Hence there is DO way to rob the halibut and incubate the eggs, and the supply may run out. Ac- cordingly legislation is proposed to adopt a closed season for halibut in the North Pacific off the Alaskan coast, and also to provide an ocean sanctuary covering what has been determined to be the favorite breeding place of the big fish. But this legislation, to be of any practical use, must be legislation not only by the United States alone, but by Canada as we'll Hence in the proposed measure it is provided that it shall not take effect until after the enactment of concurrent or essentially similar regulations by the government of the dominion of Canada, either by act of parliament, order iu council, or other proper means.

Inquiry has been received at the governors office concerning Harry Griffin, last heard from when in Saint Louis, Mo-, in August, 1898. He is supposed to have joined the rush to the Klondike, and that he is now in Alaska. His daughter, who was but a babe when he left home, is anxious to
 find him. Any information concerning him should be sent to the governors office.
 The general impression prevalent among Easterners for SO many years that Alaska was floating iceberg, with zero weather the year round, Is gradu- ally being wiped out as the result of the great educational campaign being conducted by people interested in the development of the Northern territory, declared P. c. Mccormack, president of the St. Michael Trading Company, of Wrangell, says the Seattle P.-L Mir. Mccormack has just returned from an extensive Eastern trip and is accom- panied by his wife and family. "People all through the East are becoming in tereeted in the welfare of Alaska" said Mir. Mccormack, "and they are becom ing conversant with conditions there. The big magazines and newspapers of the country are taking the leading part in this nation wide educational cam paign. The editors are now printing facts about Alaska from writers who know conditions there and Alaska's cause is being laid properly before the people," Mir. Mccormack is republi' can territorial committeeman from the First district to the coming territorial republican convention to be held prob ably in Seward in April. His observa- tions of political conditions through the East have convinced him of re. publican victory next fall
 Alaskan party politics may enter the most interesting period of history at the Republican convention which will be held on April 19 when, it is said, the name of Hon. James Wickersham will be proposed as the nominee of the "regular" party. The opinion that he will be a candidate for the nomination has been created by many circum' stances, one of which was the state ment of Committeeman Irving of Ju- neau to the effect that he would try to bring all factions of the republican party together. The fact that Delegate Wickersham's name now appears in the congressional directory as republican strengthens the belief that he would accept the nomination of the Republi- can convention, but he has made no personal statement on the subject. While the Republican committee was in session this month in Seward the Daily Gateway of that city published statements to the effect that some of the members of the committee ex- pressed the determination to oppose any attempt to nominate the present delegate to congress. The same paper also contained an interview with one of the strong supporters of Mir. Wicker sham in which it was declared that he would "hght" the delegate if he so. cepted the nomination. These state- ments seem to illustrate the two chief opinions on the question. The general opinion seems to be that remarkable change is about to come in the political situation, anyhow,-All-Alsska Review.
