sent to the Senate by Wilson:
William Munley of Anchorage to
he District Attorney of thi Thiru
Division, vice Spencer now occu
pying the position. F. F. Brenne
me.n to be United States Marshal of
the Third Division to succeed him

paid the Alaskan political ap
pointments, nothing has been done
in naming officials for the Second
Division at Nome, Alaska.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Oct. 1.—
An effort upon the part of some to
impeach Senator Lafollette today
occasioned severe rebukes from
Gronna ami Stone, who ably pre
vented the matter gaining headway
without going through the usual
course.
The matter was referred to the
Election and Privileges Committee
who meet next Wednesday to take
action and rcpoH back to the
House.
It is practically certain that no
thing will be done. fV
The agitation against Lafollette
is being supported by all the pow
ers that he lias in his long career
antagonized.
LEXINGTON, Ky„ Oct. 1.—Coal
mine operators have appealed to
the President for troops to quell
the strikers in this section of the
country. Clashes between strikers
and company gunmen are frequent.
The companies want martial law
declared.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 1.—A strike
involving ten thousand seamen was
called today after a short confer
ence between the union leaders and
the government agents. The lattei
had been endeavoring to mediate
without any sort of success.

contested.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.—
Twenty-five thousand men who have
been out on strike have returned
to werk pending the demands of
the men and the claims of employ
era being decided by arbitration.
A good deal in the future will
depend upon ihe results of this ar
bitration. It' it is against the men.
tho set'Iement of future strikes by
this means may as well be aban j
tloned.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.—Federal agents
have their troubles rounding up in
dicted industrialists. Up to noon
today only forty-live had bean taken
into custody out of 25G indicted
men.
The indicted men cover a large
section of the country, and it will
take time.
The departure of Commode re
Wittenberg on a trading trip to
East Cape, Siberia shows that there
is still marked demand for Alaska
and Siberian furs in spite of war
end all the natural' expenses at
tendant thereto.
The fact is that such self evident
luxuries as high grade furs, dia
monds and the like, are in high de
mand shows the prolific spending
power of those who have fattened
outside upon war contracts.
This year the Nome fur trade will
easily be sixty thousand dollars

Brices outside are still good,
mainly because the profiteers who
have got war contracts on hand
have money to throw at the birds.
The war to that class of people has
been in the nature of a God-send.

an ihe west Flanders front, the
British war office is silent as to any
military operations under Ute di
rection of Hague.
No reason is assigned for tilts

anticipate a gigantic drive upon
the part of the British commander.
Other reasons not understood may
well account for the news ban.
