STRONG ENEMY TO PARTY SAYS
 I. DONOHOE Points Out That disappointment Would Injure Party Work
 In Territory

Attorney Tom Donohoe, Democratic national committeeman for the Terri tory, arrived on the Alaska last even ing, accompanied by Mrs. Donohoe who will be the guest of friends while Tom is looking after some legal mat ters at this session of the court.
 Donohoe is of the opinion that Gov, Strong will not be re-appointed, prin- cipally because of the blow that such an appointment would be to the Demo cratic organization of Alaska.
 "In his recent appointments the Governor busted an able man in South eastern Alaska and replaced him with a Republican," said Donohoe, "just be- cause the Democrat in question made rather inspiring speech in nominat, ing Sulzer at the last convention.
 Governor Strong's most recent of fense against the party is to nominate J. J. McGrath, from the editorial de. partment of the Juneau Dispatch, : Republican organ, to a place as terri torial publicist.
 "It looks as though the Governor were going out of his way to be de. liant against members of the party.
 "As to that letter to Mir. Boyle Governor Strong's defense that it was private letter is no defense at all as it indicates that he was strikini at the future of the party on the quiet. The chairman of the Nationa Committee so informed Strong wher he was in Washington.
 "It ought to be enough for flask ans to note the papers which are sup. porting Strong, and then at their con nections, to see who is back of the Strong campaign and also back ot Wickersham."

Lonely Hulk and Cargo Ashore On Jarvis Island In Southern

HONOLULU, T. H., July 25, (By MaiD The wreck of an unknown sailing vessel, apparently abandoned, lies on the shores of Jarvis Island, ac- cording to a report brought to Hono- lulu last Sunday, July P, by the Wal marine, a steamer of the Union Steam ship Co.,, New Zealand.
 Before leaving Suva, where she had stopped for bunkers, the Waimarine received cable orders to search for the steamer Wairuna, of the same line, which was long overdue and for which grave apprehension was felt. Accord tnly Captain Foster searched in the neighborhood of Jarvis and Christmas Islands for her, but found no sign of the lost vessel.
 But on Jarvis Island he sighted the wreck of some other vessel, high and dry on the beach, with all her masts gone. Through his glasses he could see that the beach was piled high with wreckage and cargo, but there was no sign of human life in the neighborhood of the wreck.
 As the wrecked vessel was evident ly not the one for which he was searching, Captain Foster did not send boat ashore, so when he reached Honolulu he could not tell what the name of the vessel was, nor could he be positive that there were no sur vivors,
