(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
Hoise, Aug. 1 ? The greatest sensation that has yet
occurred in the Haywood ease developed here last night
when, upon unquestionable authority, it leaked out that
Harry Orchard, the man vho lately appeared as the star
witness in the Haywood trial, had repudiated his confession
and would now make oath that he had sold his testimony
tu the prosecution. His reason for retracting his startling
confession it is stated is due to the fact that in some man
ner which is unknown to outsiders his present wife may
obtain a large property interest by so doing. Governor
Gooding and those prominent in 'the prosecution of the
case refuse to discuss the matter but declare that there is
nothing to the story. It is known, however, that Orchard
has received many prominent persons connected with the
states side ot the case as visitors since yesterday morning.

(Special Dispatch to the Dallv Alaskan)
Columbus, Aug. 1 ? "William J. Bryan, who is a visitor j
iu this city yesterday officially announced his intention to <
be a candidate before the next National Democratic con
/
veution. Bryan made no statement as to the planks of
the platform upon which he will make his fight for the i
bead of the Democratic ticket, but those who are man"
iging his campaign declare that it will.be along the lines
af his already declared ideas. Leaders of Ohio in the
Republican party seem to think that, despite all talk of
raft and Roosevelt's refusal to run, the Republican con
tention will declare for Theodore Roosevelt and force
him to accept the nomination.

BRITT
(S|>ecial Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
San Francisco, Aug. I? Before a
crowd that taxed the Amphitheatre to
its utmost capacity "Jimmy" Britt last
night, iu the twenthieth round, was
given a decision over "Battling" Nel
son. The men entered the ring shortly
after 10 o'clock and for the first tea
tounds the Dane had a shade the best
of the fight. After that Britt had Nel
son going all the time. He staggered
him many times with rights and lefts
that seemed to have the Battler all but
out and the Dane was frequently falling
along the ropes, but each time came
back with bull clop tenacity. Britt was
far superior in foot work and his ring
generalship was the best exhibition
that he has ever put up. The fight wa?
a fierce one from the start and the audi
ence were well pleased with the result
of the mill. Although the crowd was a
native son gathering nevertheless Nel
son got his share of encouragement and
had many friends in the audienca. The
hght went twenty rounds an d was
awarded to Britt on fouls.
