Gen. Wlckersham to assist In the
trial of the cases arising from the
failure of the Washington Alaska
bank.
The cases having all been set
ever to the December term of Court
which will be held In Valdex. in all
probability the two government of
ficials will return to Alaska In
time to take their part In the prose
cution.
Both of these gentlemen speak
favorably of the existing conditions
In Fairbanks and state that all the
mining men are sanguin that the
placer goll output this season will
be over I ">,000.000. and that the
quartx property being developed are
showing up exceedingly well, and
those acquainted with the conditions
are satisfied that a permanent quart*
camp will be the outcome
Messrs (-Ibson and Proctor both
speak In very favorably terms of
the scenery and climate In Alaska,
and stated that they were highly
impressed by the vast amount of
development which the country
showed, and also stated that from
their persoi.al observations the men
who were engaged |n the develop
ment of the resources of the coun
try, both mineral and agricultural,
would soon demonstrate to the
world the possibilities of Alaska
and In whlrh would result in a grea
increase of population within the
next few years. They speak highly
of the enforcement and observance
of the law, and of the Intelligence
of the people met by them during
their stay in Alaska

Chicago, June 21 ? The creden
tial* committee worked until two
o'clock this morning.
The plans for today are that
the convention take up the partial
report of the credential# committor,
and allow the committee to contin
ue until all cases are handed In.
If this arrangement does not meet
with the approval of the delegate,
there is talk of not hurrying mat
ters any, but on the other hand,
the convention will be prolonged un
til Monday or Tuesday,
Col. Roosevelt indulged In a
most exhaustive denunciation of th?
National Central committee, in
which he exhausted his vocabulary
In hi* tirade of the rehearsal of the
alleged political wrong doings of
the committee.
After the Colonel had relieved
his mind of his biting remarks, he
nssumed a more tractlble mood, and
acted the part of a tamed but un
conquered warrior.
