SENATOR SULzER
 FIRES FIRST SHOT
EXPECTS THE SUPPORT OF EVERY RESIDENT OF
 kETCHlkAN.

1 Despite the annoyances met by those in charge of the meeting last evening in advertising the arrival of the distinguished visitor, Senator Suf ger was greeted by large audience at the Redmen's Hall, drawn appar- entity by the popularity of the man himself whose presence in their midst was more felt than positively l known.
 The Senator arrived a little after SIX o'clock last evening accompanied by Mrs. and Master Sulzer on then way to the interior where the Senator gaes to meet the voters.
 Tn his address, the Senator spoke oe the need of Alaska in the way of legislation Pointed out defects in oar laws that held us in bond and subject ed us to the rulings of bureaus al Washington, and said that he would try to remedy the defects if the people elected him as their delegate to con gross, and as far as the residents Gf Eetchikan were concerned, lie sai@ that he would be greatly disappointed if he fails to get their support, be- cause he felt that here at least he vas among friends who had known hir, for fourteen years.
 The Senator then took up Delegate Wickersham's case. analysed his pol icy. and took up the delegates speech made during the session of the last territorial legislature and published in the Daily Dispatch Of Juneau. He asked permission to read extracts of the speech and supplement them with his comments. The reading of the eX- tracs of the speech - provided the speech was correctly eported-follow- ed by the Senator's comments, left nc doubt in the minds of the listeners that Delegate Wickersham is not only inconsistent but wants to be the ruler of the territory.
 The Senator was attentively listen ed to, applauded freely and altogether was well received and took leave of his audience carrying with him the good wishes of every man, woman and child in the audience.
 The party left this morning for Ju- nean where a stop-over will be made of a day or two. From there, another stop will be made at Skagway before starting for the interior by way Of Dawson down the Yukon river to Fair banks where the party will remain a week or ten days. From Fairbaoi.s, the next stop will be made at St. Mich ael and Nome, returning by way of Seward and other coast towns, early enough to permit the Senator to spend month or so in the First division prior to the election.

 ATTITUDE.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-There is persistent rumor going the rounds that the sharp turn in Carranza's at titude towards the United States is due to the fact that the Mexican gov ernment is on the verge of bankrupt cy; and that Carranza has been refus- ed financial assistance.
