Denver, .luly The socialists ol
Colorado held a political convention
uiuler cover of secrecy on the tourth ol
July in this city. The circumstance*
were given out toda> aiul no further at
tempt made to keep them stcret hut,
on the contrary, all publicity possible
will be given to the rather surprising
remits. The convention was called to
nominate a ticket for the impending
state election. Haywood, now in jail
at Boix.' awaiting trial for the murder
f e\ Governor St un libera, was noiu"
iuated for the governorship and the full
ticket was named in a like spirit. The
announcement of the BCtton ha> caused
but little suprisc here as the radical
attitude of the socialistic element is
familiar.

RUSSIA IS CRYING FOR BREAD
Extremists make clever move which puts bureaucrats
on defensive in a situation calculated to win the
masses to the cause of revolution
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
St. Petersburg, July 7. ? The condi
tion of anarchy continues to grow
throughout Russia, the several ele
ments of the government being at war
with each other. The riots resulting
from muntiny are increasing in num
ber throughout the camps and fortres- 1
ses of the empire.
In the douma the constitutional dem
ocrats absolutely disown the extrem
ists. Both wings are intent on ousting
the present ministry but the constitu
tional party is hop fui of being able to
name the new cabinet alone and with
out giving the extremists a voice.
The douma last week voted seven
millions for the relief of famine suf
ferers. Yesterday came the announce
ment from the minister of finance that
the appropriation is nil as there are no
funds in the treasury for such purpose, j
This caused an inquiry which devel-l
oped the fact that the government J
revenues hail been grossly padded to
make a good showing for the purpose
of securing the recently negotiated
foreign loan. This leaves the douma,
the extremist wing at least, in doubt as
to whether the minister is lying in the
present report or in the previous one.
The ministry suggesis to the douma
that a new loan be authorized and
Hosted for the relief of the famine suf
ferers. This the douma refuses to do
but, instead, calls upon the ministry to
out down the budget of its own official
dom, the expenses of the high salaried
bureaucrats which they say is extrava
gant and insupportable in view of the
fact that the masses of the people are
suffering for lacfc of the necessities of
life. This stand it is believed will pre
cipitate the long pending crisis, as it
will make a strong appeal to the pas
sions of the people. It is believed the
famine appropriation was made with
this result in view.

Major Richardson Believes A Trans- Alaskan

San Francisco, June 7.? In a long
?nd very plain-spoken interview given
10 the associated press today, VV. R.
Hearst put a complete quietus to all
talk concerning him as a disturbing
element among the democratic a<pir
?nis (or the presidential nomination.
Mr. Hearst says he is not a candidate
will not be a candidate under ?ny cir
sumstances. He is for Bryan for first
place with Governor Folk or Stevenson
as a running mate. He was asked as
to what he thought of the chances for
Senator Bailey, of Texas, in whose
name a very pronounced boom has de
veloped. Mr. Hearst does not like
Bailey and said so very distinctly.
"Senator Bailey is complete1)- com
promised by his relationship to the
Standard Oil company and the big
corporations of the country, and can
never find favor with the American
people for any office of trust in their
guift. Bailey is a very able man, to
he sure, but this but makes him the
more impossible under the circum
stances sering that he has seen fit to use
his talents in behalf of the corpora
tions as > gainst the interests of the j
people. Bryan stands for the best
hopes of the masses aud is believed j
certain to agan be their standard,
bearer in the national contest. To
associate Bailey with him would be
like trying to mix water and oil? Stand
ard Oil if you please. It would be to
make the people la tgh: a circus cam
paign. Bryan and Bailey ? how like
Barnum and Bailey it sounds anyhow
"No;" said Mr. Hearst, with positive
conviction, "Bryan and Folk is the
best offering the democratic or any
other party can set before the people.
I believe it would sweep the country,"

"The confusion thrown about, the
question of railroads and the govern
ment aid of them in Alaska, by the
railroad men themselves is responsible
for the amending of the law uDd<r
which the appropriation was made for
the survey from Valdez to Council City
and the leaving out of all reference to
railroads," said Major Richardson
yesterday in refering to his work here
for this summar, "There has been a
disposition clearly manifested by the
administration to aid the development
of Alaska through the building of rail
roads but of course it could not be pos
sible to favor any particular enter
prise or set of investors. The purpose
was to build a railroad from the south
coast to the interior, in the first place
and that purpose grew to the possible
extension of a line to the Bering sea
coast. I favored the idea in my report
and recommendation. But there are
six different companies- projecting rail
road enterprises from the coast. The
conflicting interests of these conpanies
prevented a cor centration urvon the
main point? the passage of a bill that
would secure or require the building of
a railroad across the district from the
coast to the Tanana and the Yukon
river. This was the first consideration.
Any road securing the guarantee of the
government would of course, be re
quired to build through to the Yukon
river within a stated time. The con
flict between the companies, some of
which had already inves ed large sums
and came before the committee urging
tt eir claims to priority on this account,
together with the claims of others as
against this showing of preference, all
had the effect, of scattering or dissipat
ing the sentiment that would bare
doubtless otherwise secured the pass
age uf a bill guarantee the bonds of 'a'
railroad. In face of this difficulty I re
commended that the offer of aid be sub.
mitted to b'.ds, the guarantee going to
those accepting or agreeing to the low
est terms. However, I am of the
opinion that a road will be financed and
built with or without government aid
but whether it will cross to the Tanana
and the Yukon river within the time
'imit that a guarantee would ensure is
another matter. As I have said the
contention oyer the matter had not
only the effect of killing this measure
but extended further. When the bill
making the appropriation for the sur
vey from Valdez to Council City waa
drawn it specified that its purpose waa
to locate a practicable route for a rail
road. The bill passed but it was first
amended so as to refer only to roads
and trails. 11 a railroad is finally de
cided upon to cross the country the data
to be obtained w.ll of course be avail
able. I am not without hope that the
railroad scheme will be carried out."
