That he wanted to be recognized as a republican after election, but to run independent.
 What action the nominating com mittee would take MT. Gilmore did not know. At least so he said. They had not gotten together to discuss the question and it would be several days before a choice would be made. Al White. who was named as one Of the divisional committeeman at Sew ard also returned on the Evans. He expresses the belief that Wickersham will be the nominee of the party, and that the nominating committee will await word from the delegate before taking any action. He says that Ed Russell, who was the delegates per sonal representative at the conyen- tion, announced to that body that he had spent a large sum of money wir-. ing to Wickersham at Washington, and had not been able to get any reply, and therefore. he would not bring Mir Wickersham' name before ! the convention. This left the con- vention without a candidate. and the committee on nomination was ap7 pointed to name the candidate at q later date, and permit the convention to adjourn.
 1 J. J. E'innegan Of Seward who was also named by the convention as cne of. the committeeman for that place. came over on the boat. He expresses i the opinion that the nominating con- mittee is simply awaiting an answer to the telesrams stA- to Wiokershana and if that gentleman accepts the platform he wlI receive the nomina 1 tion.
 Col. B. F. Willard refused to dis cuss the possibilities of Wickershain being nominated. He said that the delegation from the Third division did not bolt the party. but remained in the convention and laid the foun- dation for decent politics in Alaska in the future.
 | It was stated on the steamer last night that a wireless message was re- ceived from Seward stating that the delegates remaining there, practically all from the Third division, had held trump convention and nominated a full ticket, but this is believed to be a hoax.

LAND INDUSTRIAL
 DEPARTMENT ALASKA

Secretary of the Interior Lane has announced the creation of land in- dustrial department under the Alaska engineering commission to assist in the development of the resources of that portion of Alaska which the gov ernment railroad from Seward to Fairbanks will tap. Andrew Chris jensen, formerly chief of the field di- vision of the general land office. has been appointed manager of the new department and will at once establish headquarters in Seward, the termi- nus of the road. The new depart ment will have charge of all ques- tions relating to the public lands along the line of the road, and its aim will be to foster friendly rela- tions among Alaska's business inter- ests and encourage the development of the agricultural and mining lands of the territory

IN BAD
 IN CALIFORNIA

Many Alaskans who resided in the upper country during the early Daw- son days, will remember John Hat field, the professional rainmaker, who was imported from the states to re- lieSe the great drought. George Armstrong, who recently returned from the states, tells an interesting story regarding the same Hatfield in connection with the fair at San Diegb.
 South California was suffering for want of rain; the city of San Di- ego finally engaged John Hatfield to make rain and agreed to give him $10,OOO if he succeeded in getting rain. He went to work and evil dence is that he overtrained for his battle with the elements, for it rained and rained, and then rained some more, until the great Otay dam burst, flooding the country with more than eleven billion gallons of water. He was then implored to work his magic the other way, but it still continued to rain, until the whole country al- most believed he was possessed of devil.
 After the beautiful valley had been swept clean by the flood he attempt ed to collect his money from the city, but the council said "Nay, nay; you injured us more than you helped us." Now the city is even considering su ing him, it is said.-News-Miner.

PLAN 10 SETTLE MEXICAN AFFAIR
SUBMITS A SCHEME,
Big Mike" Sullivan Springs on War Department an Idea for the Pre- vention of Further Trouble Along the Southern Border.

M. J. Sullivan, of Port Wells fame. and better known to everybody in this section of A.aska as Big Mike has evolved an excellent scheme for settling the trouble with Mexico and has submitted his plan to the govern- ment for consideration. The scheme is novel in the extreme, is simplic- ity itself, and it is strange that army officers engaged in the hunt for Villa had not thought of it before.
 MT. Sullivan proposes that the gov |ernment ship trainload of tortillas, frijoles, pan con carne, chilis and gar- lie, and other foods dear to the heart of the Mexican to point in southern Mexico. The food is to be shipped in open cars so that it will be plainly visible to the people. When the de- sired point is reached the train will return slowly to Texas. The Mexi- cans, long without luxuries, will fol low the train, and upon their arrival in Texas they will be met by dele gation of Texans who will extermin- i ate them with clubs. Two or three trips of the train, MT. Sullivan be- lieves, will so .depopulate the coun- try that little trouble will be expert enced from that section for some years.
 MT. Sullivan lived in Mexico sev- eral years, working on different rail- ways in that country, and claims to be we'll qualified in matters pertain ing to affairs in that republic.

CHINESE CASH ARE
 CHEAPER THAN COPPEI,

Since the occupation of Tsing-tau have hoched into Shartung province ill large numbers and have begun trading operations in centers where they have no treaty rights. Many of these traders are collecting old cop per cash. the Chinese coins which have g hole in the center and carried on strings and are melting the coins down and selling the copper at big profit.
 Traffic in the Chinese copper cash is going on in many parts of China. regardless of the centra! govern ment's regulations forbidding the ex- portation of cash.
 Seventy thousand pieces of copper cash were recently seized hy Chinese officials on a train at Changchun in Central Manchuria. This money was concealed in trunks checked by Jap anese. The cash is shipped to Shang- hai or to Japanese ports where it is melted down and brings high price because of the scarcity of copper. Tn Peking and the more important commercial centers on the railways in China, cash is used only by the Chinese. The rate of exchange var ies greatly in different places. Or dinarily ten cash are worth one cop per cent. The cent is a coin without hole in it, and the ratio of the cent values to the Mexican dollar is at present about one hundred and thir- ty-five to one. Consequently Mex ican dollar will purchase one thous- and three hundred and fifty copper cash in the large centers. The rate generally is even better for the cop per dealers in the remote sections. China is experiencing money fam inc. The price of silver is extremely high. Gold is seldom seen, and. the onslaughts the copper dealers are making on the supply of copper cash further complicate the situation.

nate him, and therefore it was with held. The sticking point, he said. was a plank in the platform which called for the distribution of the pat ronage in Alaska by the committee men of each division? This MT. Wickersham did not accept, and the nomination was left to a committee appointed by the convention: What action the committee would take Mr. Russell could not state, nor would be make any prophecy.
 MT. Shackleford was also rather uncommunicative. He said the state ment he had said he would make was rendered unnecessary by the action of the convention and MT. Wicker sham, and that the convention had spoken for itself on the questions in volved.
 MT. Russell stated, and he wished it to be thoroughly understood, that there was not the slightest ill-feeling between the two or more factions at the convention. He said he, as the representative of MT. Wickersham, had been treated most fairly, and that he had been promised by his oppon- ents enough votes to prevent the name of MT. Wickersham coming be- fore the convention and then slaugh. tered.
 w. A. Gilmore of Nome was more outspoken in his views. He said that the results at Seward were as he had predicted while here on his way to the convention. The delegate, he said, was trying to play both ends, and would bind himself publicly to no party. He said that before the convention he had announced he would cast the solid vote of the Sec ond division for Wickersham if that gentleman would publicly anounce his acceptance of the nomination and the platform. This MT. Wickersham refused to do, and as consequence his name was not presented. The platform, he said, was one of the best ever drawn up in Alaska and no man really sincerenneed have hesitated tc accept it. It was drawn up by Ed Russell, MT. Wickersham' agent ir Alaska, and the only reason MT Wickersham had for refusing to ac. cept it was that he feared to lose some votes by so doing. In other words the delegate wished the nomination and any other he could secure, on any sort of platform, and would accept none of them as binding upon him

DELEGATES TELL
 0F CONVENTION
WICK's NAME NOT PRESENTED
Refusal of Delegate to Signify His Willingness to Allow Party to Re- tain Patronage Proved to Be His undoing-Delegate Unnamed.'

Politicians galore crowded the decks of the Admiral Evans when she came in from the westward this morn ing. Practically all of the Southeast ern Alaska delegation was aboard, in- cluding Ed Russell, Wickersham' right-hand man, Irwin, Faulkner and McNaughton. The whole of the sec ond division, represented by Gilmore, Murane and Schofield and the Fourth, which Tom Lloyd carried in his pock- ct, and Dooley, Thisted and Frazier of Cordova, and Finnegan of Seward, and Willard and White of Valdez, were homeward bound from the con- vention. No sooner had the gang plank been put in place than off the boat they raced and up town to tell the story of the convention to their friends and associates, and soon every corner and crosswalk held it's group of men earnestly discussing the do- ings at Seward.
 Tom Lloyd, of Fairbanks, who had nothing to say on his way to the con- vention, was equally communicative on his return. When asked what the committee, appointed by the conven' ton to name a candidate, would do in that respect, he said he did not know, as the members had not yet gotten to- gether to consider the matter, h''+ ''' expected some action would be taken within day or two, and then the font of information dried up.
 MT. Russe.. was more communica- tive. He stated that MT. Wicker sham's name was not presented to the convention because, on canvass of the vote, it was found that there would not be votes enough to nomi-
