Skag-way Postmastership Matter Creates Bad Blood
Betwegn The Delegate And The Governor
(United Prett Tol?graph-Cablo S?rvlc?.)
Washington, Jan. 26? Delegate Cale is hot over the
turning down of his nominations for postmasterehips at
Skagway a:ul at Valdez, Governor Hoggatt is making
recommendations in the case of several other federal offices.
Cale declares his intention of seeing president
ivoos^valt and making piotest. He believes the governor
has no right to butt in when the elected delegate has made
recommendations of acceptable, good men for these offices.
Mr. Cale says he presented the name of A. E. Kindell,
present acting postmaster, for the post at Skagway. The
president promptly absented to the nomination and sent the
name to the senate for consideration. It was before the
committee to which it had been refered and was about to be
reported back with favor when the opposition of Governor
Hoggatt caused the president tc recall the name and pre
sent that of Mr. M. S. Whittier for the place in its stead,
Mr. Whittier's name being presented by the governor. Cale
says he believes when the facts are known that the president
will again reconsider. He is very angry because of the iu
terference by the governor in what he believes to be his
preserves.
STEiER FOX IS SIFE
Post Ottk-e Inspector W. A. Graves, is in receipt of a
wire this afternoon that gives denial to the rumor on the
street earlier in the day to the effect that the little launch
Fox, which carries the mail from Juneau to Kake had been
lost with all on board.
It appears *liat the Fox has been missing for several
days. She left Juneau on the 13th and hadnot since been
heard from. The round trip, Juneau to Kake. should, un
der ordinary circumstances, have brought her back to Ju
neau the next day. The steamer EDM was sent away
ahead of schedule, on the 19th, to look up the missing boat
but returoed without having found any trace of her* Of
this Mr, Graves was advised aud considerable anxiety was
felt in behalf of the missing boat and crew.
On Thursday the Rustler was sent out to make a thor
ough search and the wire today probably comes as a result
of the success atten ling her efforts. The wire gives no de
tails but simply says the "Fox and crew have been found.
No mail lost." Particulars will be had later.
Prof. Geo. Patrick and wife, left this
afternoon for Haines. They will be
absent several days.

mac of Slcagway, is now in the emplov

(United Presa Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Washington, Jan. 26 ? By unanimous vote the senate
committee on industrial expositions will recommend an ap?
propriation of seven hundred thousand dollars to encourage
the holding of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seat
tle in 1909. Of this amount one hundred thousand will be
set aside for a government exhibit from Alaska. Hawaii and
the Philippines has apportioned for their exhibit twenty
five thousand each. The members of the committee are
strongly in favor of the appropriation and will advocate it
on the floor. This, with the unanimous recommendation,
the friends of the enterprise believe, make the appropria
tion assured. This sum is as much as they expected from
the government.

Chicago, Jan. 26 ? Very serious trouble is anticipated
in this city today from the demonstrations of the unem
ployed. There are fifty thousand idle men in the city and
the leaders planned to make an impressive demonstration by
marching the streets. The police department warned the
leaders that no such parade would be permitted. Never
theless the men are determined to go through with the pro
gram. Large additional forces are being placed on duty
and the detail at every station strengthened. There has
been some considerable disturbance, but nothing as yet of
a serious character. The city is greatly alarmed however,
least there be bloody riots.
