NO WIRE
Cable Is Too Basy for Tress
Matter
For the first time in many months
the Daily Alaskan appears today with
out any telegraphic news from the
great world tbat lies to the south.
Neither the American cable or the Do
minion line would handle press dis
patches today. The Dominion wire
was not working on account of its be
ing a holiday and a rush of commercial
matter prevents the cable from hand
ling news.
The cable, which has been out of
commission for nearly a week, came up
today, but the force has not cleared up
the commercial dispatches that h, ve
accumulated.
