S. S. VICTORIA TAKES OUT
GOOD MANY OLD TIMERS
The good ship Victoria which ar
rived on Saturday afternoon sailed
again in the evening for Seattle and
the outside. On board of this !
steamer were many passengers from
Nome, a goodly number of whom
were old timers who have been
identified with the camp from the
early days, and who go to seek fame
and fortune in the new Shushana
fields which they think offers a
better prospect than does the Seward
Peninsula. The total number taking
passage from here is first class 62,
and steerage 103.
In addition to the names already
published in Saturday’s Industrial

GOVERNOR FOSS SAYS
HE’S A REPUBLICAN
LYNNVILLE, Mass., Aug. 17 —
Governor Foss who himself was a
democratic candidate for the presi
dential nomination at the last con
vention, announces the fact that he
is “again a republican.”
He accompanies this startling an
nouncement with the declaration
that the country needs an early re
turn of the republican party to pow
er if the disaster that the country is
now rapidly approaching is to he at
all diverted. Nothing but ruin
awaits the industrial interests of the
country following the radical poli
cies of the democratic party in in
gress and the worse than radical
tendencies of President Wilson.
Democratic papers are up in arms
against Foss, and they are subject
ing him to scorching criticism for
bis inconsistent belated stand. They
express wonder where he acquired
his wisdom.

BOTH SIDES IN ARMED
TRUCE SUNDAY AT ALBANY
ALBANY, Aug. 17.—An armed
truce over Sunday is the present
gnbernational situation. Neither
aide made any move of any import
ance today although the breaeh is
evidently widening between Glynn
and Sulzer. It is quite evident now
that_ Glynn will throw all his aid.
force, and ability to Tammany in
order to obtain the coveted position.
The people of the Empire State
are simply astounded at the develop
ments in the present fight, and in
many places they refuse to believe
that Sulzer is ousted. It is openly
asserted that the most serious pos- I
I
siblities are latent in the critical
situation that has followed Sulzer's
determination to stay in office until
forcibly removed.
It is far from being a remote pos
sibility that the state forces will
be so divided that even before the
courts can give an opinion the
federal government may be required
to take drastic action to maintain
order and peace in the Empire State.
Such a result would have conse
quences whose gravity Tammany it
self is now dimly realizing.
The World and the Examiner- j
Journal, the Hearst paper, continue I
to pour hot shot into the Tammany
ranks, and urge Sulzer to hold the
governorship. The Hearst papers
are rabidly hostile, and continue in
the same truculent vein against
Tammany.
The next step which will take
place on Monday is being watched
by the entire nation with interested
not to say excited expectancy. The
fight is attracting international at
tention, and the London papers, ac
cording to cabled reports, are giving
vent to astonished comment over
the situation which is clearly incom
prehensible to all of them.
LABOR POLITICIANS AGITATE
AGAINST B. C. MILITIA
VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 17.—One
dead and three hurt is the full list
of casualties among the strikers in
their battle with the militia. The
Canadian militia men with maxim
guns have quelled the Extension
troubles, and the outbreak in the
two towns close to this city may
now be regarded as over. During
the rioting last night in the first
clash with the militia, the officers
threatened tc open fire with maxims
and this threat had the result of
causing the rioters to disperse. The
military cormander says that he
will maintain peace and protect pro
perty even if he carries out his au
thorized orders to the full extreme,
and which win redden the streets
with blood.
The union men are indignant at
the conditions of things now pre
vailing.
VANCOUVER, B. C., Aug. 17.—
Union leaders are planning a cam
paign throughout British Columbia
against the militia, and labor politi
cians are calling protest meetings in
many places demanding that the
troops be withdrawn from the strike
zone. Many warrants have been is
sued against the leaders of the riots,
but the government fears to servo
them on account of the restive con
dition of labor throughout the entire
province of British Columbia. It Is
feared that in the present temper
of the workers they may break out
in several places where they cannot
be handled at all. The labor organ
izations throughout the province are
taking steps to expel every member
who is a meber of the militia, and
any who took the field again** *'*”

GIRL TELLS THE WHOLE
STORY TO THE COURT
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.—
■Under cross examination the War
rington girl yielded every secret of
her adventures to the defendants'
lawyers in the Diggs and Caminetti
trials. They forced the pretty girl
-to confess to the most delicate in
cidents in the Reno escapades in
the most merciless fashion, and they
dragged from her the smallest de
tails of her relations with the man
who is charged with violating the
Mann white slave act. It was quite
apparent that Miss Warrington her
self, upon seeing that Diggs was
determined upon open confession in
the hope of saving his hide, had
steeled her nerves to tell everything.
She answered for hours the most
pointed questions thrust at her by
counsel. She confessed that she
took many trips with Diggs, drank
booze, took wine dinners in fash
ionable cafes, travelled in state
rooms on trains, stayed at hotels
and ragged at dances with Diggs,
passing off all the time as man and
wife. The trips covered the past
half a year and took in San Diego,
Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland
as well as other cities along the
coast.
Those wishing to make Excursion
trip on the Corwin to Siberia on or
about August 23, please call at Cor

GOVERNOR STRONG GREETED
BY VERY LARGE CROWD
On Saturday afternoon when the
Victoria dropped anchor, the Nome
brass band marched to Barrack
square where a large crowd had as
sembled to meet Governor Strong
who arrived on the steamer from St.
Mike’s. The Pioneers of Alaska
were conspicuous by their presence,
and it is worthy of note that the
Governor himself wore the badge of
the order in his coat. They lined
the way up to Front street and the
Governor and his party passed up
the lines, and through a trying or
deal of hand shaking from the old
timers. The crowd cheered when
Governor and Mrs. Strong stepped
ashore, and they both looked as
pleased as any of the arrivals in the
spring whose smiles express the
opinion very openly that they are
glad to get back.
Dr. Mustard and Con Kelly escort
ed the Governor up the street fol
lowed by the Pioneers of Alaska
while the band led the way with a
stirring march to the Golden Gate.
There the Governor and Mrs. Strong
received acquaintances and friends
while many politicians who could
not overlook a bet, kept watch and
ward lest something might be
missed.
The work of approving the site for
a detention hospital will probably
be the work which will first engage
the attention of the Governor, and
the reception committee has arrang
ed for a reception and dance in the
Eagle hall on Monday night.
The Pioneers will give a smoker
to the Governor whereat none but
members of the order . will be
present, and other functions have
also been arranged. He will accord
ing to present arrangements leave
on the Senator.
To a representative of the Indus
trial Worker, Governor Strong said
that his trip down the Yukon
through the interior had been a very
pleasant one. They were consider
ably stirred there concerning the
Shushana strike, and many were
stampeding from the various points.
He expressed his appreciation of
the way he had been everywhere
treated, and it had been very en
joyable throughout. Apparently the
Governor is not at all the worse for
the work of his trip. He stated that
he had expected to start at an
earlier date, but work following the
termination of the Alaska legislature
had detained him.
He mentioned, by the way, that in
a test case the new poll tax law
passed by the Alaska legislature had
been upheld by Judge Brown at
Juneau.
IDITAROD CITY IN THROES
OF. SHUSH AN A SOLD FEVER
ID1TAROD CITY, Aug. 17.—Mrs.,
Frank Snyder nee Nina Ferguson
and formerly of Nome and Ophir
creek died on August 14 and was
buried at this city this afternoon
under the auspices of the two camps
of the Arctic . Brotherhood. The
death was due to child birth, the
babe being also dead. The funeral
was the largest ever held here, and
the floral decorations, all of native
flowers were wonderfully beautiful.
Mrs. George Phillips formerly of
Fairbanks gave birth to a son on
August 13; both are doing fine.
The dry weather still continues;
In many places the district is aban
doned for the season. The river is
the lowest seen in years, and it
looks like several hundred tons of
merchandiese cannot be landed this
tall.
This camh has now the Shushana
fever and got it badly. Over fifty
have left for the new diggings al
ready, and several more will leave
for the new diggings already, and
several more will leave for the new
strike next week.
The excitement seema to grow in
stead of decreasing, and there are
a large number of men idle and
foot loose owing to the prolonged
drought.
ARREST GIRLS.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 17.—Ten strik
ing garment workers, all young
girls, have been arrested charged
with disturbing the peace and inter
fering with police officers. They
were on picket duty when arrested.
The charge of assault and battery
placed against them by six of the
burliest cops in the city was so
absurd that it has been changed.

SEC. LANE IS OPTIMISTIC
FOR FUTURE OF ALASKA
SEATTLE, Aug. 17.—Secretary
Lane now visiting here says that if
the government can spend four hun
dred millions building a Panama
canal it can afford to spend forty
millions developing Alaska. He
favors government railroads which
would form a complete system
throughout the vast territory of the
'north, not only tapping the coal
fields but the agricultural and graz
ing lands as well. He says that he
has every faith that his boy will see
Alaska with a population of from
six to ten million people.
Lane gave - this statement to the
papers, and he is receiving in return
generous boosts as the friend of
Alaska and a man who has been
urgently needed in office for many
years.
Lane believes that there U no
doubt that the present session will
no adjourned before a government
railroad is authorized and he knows
that there will be no time lost by
the administration in executing the
law, the very minute it receives the
sanction of both houses, and rece'ves
the approval of the President.
President Wilson is like the Sec
retary himself an enthusiastic su -
porter of the government construc
tion and operation of railroads for
Alaska. He believes as does Secre
tary Lane that such work is essen
tial for the development of the
country.
Lane is being very well received
here, but it is not likely that he
will make any effort to visit any
section of Alaska this year. On the
opening of the canal he will ac
company President Wilson on a
tour of the territory, probably next
year.

Runyan my attorney and all hills
