before the supreme court declared the

Alexander Henderson, governor of
tin? Yukon, arrived on the Princess
May and left for Dawson this morn
ing. Gov. Henderson went outside
last fall with his family and has been
spending the winter In Victoria.
A report recently nppeared In the
papers in Canada and the States to
the effect that a petition had been
sent to Ottawa from Dawson request
ing Gov. Henderson's "resignation."
Nothing is known of the matter at
Dawson and as Gov. Henderson is
popular at Dawson and considered an
efficient official at Ottawa, the re- j
port was probably a canard circulated j
by some political opponent for the <
purpose of discrediting Gov. Hender- j
son. It signally failed in this purpose.'
