THE PROPOSED ARGTIG CLUB
Julm Troy and A. D. Coulter are In ,
x>wn, Mr. Troy being warmly greeted i
jy his old friends at every turn. They i
ire here in tbe interest of the new i
\rctlc club of Seattle, of w hich so muck
aas been heard. In the preliminary <
)r?anization both ars directors and :
?rv.mioent in tbe promotion of the nota
slt enterprise. Mr. Coulter Is a well- '
mown newspaper man, one of tbe early 1
itampeders to the Klondike and ha*
je*n pretty much all over the district.
What the Arctio club is and what it 1
proposes te be is well understood; a 1
seven story magniflcleot'y appointtd
clubhouse where men from the north
m iy rendezvous and foregather, each
certain of meeting every other Alaskan
who mar at the time be is "out" be
"out" also; where men may talk busi
ness or lu*uriate. The new organiza
tion has <bsorbed the old Alaskan club
and with it pretty much every man
who made money io the north and after
wards settled io Seattle or thereabouts.
The building Is to stand at Third and
Jefferson, but a stone's throw from the 1
totem pole. It Is to cover a ground area ,
af 280 by 112 feet? only three building* v
in the town being larger.
The enterprise is capitalized m $150
900 of which tke members have taken
Qfty thousand and the building com
pany to stand for tUe balance, the club
holding an option on the stock to be
tiken up ?t its leisure, as the funis
find their way Into a sinking fund to
b? provided from the revenues? which
revenues also were pledged in the way
of rents & c , before the sod was turned.
All the money is provided, say Messrs
Coulter and Troy, and their businets
is to acquaint the people of Alaska
with the proj?ct and by popularizing
the club develop its purpose us such?
an organization of northern men. It Id,
therefore, member! they are alter and
thev are signing these up very rapidly.
For instance here Is the list resulting
from a brief stay at Juneau and
Douglas:

I DAY AT DENVER
Denver, July 7? Bryan controls the democratic conven
tion as completely as did Roosevelt the republican. What
he says goe3 absolutely.
In the meantime he is isolated at Lincoln on his farm,
cut off from the convention and the most part of the world
by storms that have brought down the wires in all direc
tions. Railroads are also stalled. Theordore H. Bell, the
young Californian who is singled out to be temporary chair
man, called at the farm yesterday for a conference and is'
compelled to remain there and it is doubtful if he will be
able to reach Denver in time to wield the gavel according
to schedule. It is an embarrassing situation, although, so
far as Bryan is concerned, he had little to communicate as
his wishes are generally known and will be carried out.
Labor leaders who arrived yesterday morning devoted
much of the day to framing up an anti- Japanese plank. It
is believed th<*y will be given just about all they ask for.
Denver, July 7 ? The anti-injunction plank proposed
by Gompere provides that no injunction shall be granted
except where property is liable to be injured and then the
judge granting the injunction cannot hear the case. The
platform committee and the party leaders will not accept
this- They want a plank almost as loose as that in the re
publican platform.
Denver, July 7 ? At 11 o'clock the convention hall
opened. The place is thronged, the streets in the neighbor
hood are crowded. At noon the convention was called to
order by Tom Taggart, chairman of the national committee.
The call was read by Secretary Woodson. Prayer was of
fered by Archbishop Kenane of Wyoming. The commit
tees were announced and temporary officers chosen. A
resolution was introduced paying respects to the late Mr.
Cleveland, after which' adjournment was taken until to
morrow.
The convention hall is a mass of color and the scene
most inspiring.
Theodore Bell, who is to be temporary chairman ar
rived tlhs afternoon. He made his escape from the block
ade about Lincoln, Neb., where he was visiting Bryan and
rode all night to get heer.
Martin Madsen made application yes
terday before the court for citizenship
papers.
The Princess Beatrice, C. P. E., ar
rived Id this afternoon bringing 30 pas
sengers and 210 tons of freight.
