CHARGES ~ AGAINST BRADY Governor Acoused of Being Exponent of Policy of Oppression. TRANSMISSISSIPPI CONGRESS OPENS Wres P ou % Objects and Urgen er Relation with Other Con- gresses - Work| the Wen 8T. PAUL, Minn, Aug. 19.—Serious eharges against Governor Brady of Alaska were .made In the Transmissiesippi con- gress tonight by Donald Fletcher of Seat- tle, who asserted that the governor was the exponent of a policy of oppression and repression’ and the active agent of the great commercial companies in delaying self-government while they. ‘“gobbled {up the best of a magnificent country.” He took issue with Governor Brady's recommendations in his last report to con- gress for the full extgnsion of the land laws to Alaska, asserting that the recom- mendation had an' ulterfor purpose and was in the interest of the powerful elo- ments dominating the progress of the ter- ritory. Their appMcation, he charged, would be Interminably delayed by quibbithg and filibustering In congress. “Then would follow years of waiting and“waiting,” con- tinued the speaker, “while his bosses would go on gobbling up the best of that magnificont country, worth many times the entire national debt. And that is part of the gam. 3 He also asserted that Governor Brady had been consistently an enemy of the ter- ritorial government for selfish aims. As soon his address was completed F. B. Thurber of New York presented reso- lutfons demanding an Investigation of the charges. He took exception to Mr. Fletch- er's strictures upon Governor Brady, de- “claring that he knew the latter well and that he did not believe for & moment that bis actions were dominated or dictated by any selfish motive. Congress Ci At 10 o'clock this morning the Tra mississlpp! Commercial congress was called to order by President John Henry Smith of Salt Lake. City.

The congress was opened with an invoca- tion by Archbishap Izeland, after. which ad- lrult: of welcome were delivered by Gov- ernor Van Sant.,D, W. Lawler, on behalf of Mayor Smith; B. C. Stringer, for the Com- mercigl club, and Rufus A, Hoyt, Minne- sota, vice president of the.congress. The president of the congress, Mr. Smith of Salt Lake City, then responded on behalf of the delegates and the morning session closed with music. Owing to the non-arrival of some of the speakers who had been placed upon the program for this afternpon’s session a number of changes were necessitated. Colonel Ed F. Browne of Aspen, Colo., read a paper.on “Mines and Mining,” in which he urged the congress: to-take measures to secure the creation of a’governmental de- partment of mines and mining, whose head shall be a member of the president’s cab- inet. B. R. Moses of the executive com- mittee discussed the proposition to main- taln a secretary of the congress at Wash- ington, whose duty It sball be to advise ‘Transmississippi interests of m pend- ing before the national legislature by which they may be aftected.

Thurber ot New York created a stir early in the address upon the cattle industry by asserting that after three months’ inyestigation he has been un- able to substantiate the charges that the is a “beef trust.” His opinion, he said, Is that the large. increase In the cost of all meats is due to natural causes, beef prices having been.advanced by the fallure of assist digestion, aftep .eating or: drlnk" o prevent constipation, Hood’s Pills Sold flq':m 25 centa, McG DR REW ARIGDGELE S5 2700 g shlest and U it R oy Soogpend.

DISCOVER NEW SEAL ROOKERY Capt, | Finds a yer, MeClgllan Herd of Seal om T WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Captain Shoe- | maker of the revenue cutter service has | recelved a report from Captain Charles H. | McClellan, commanding the cutter Man- ning, recording the discovery of a new fur | seal rookery In the Aleutian islahds. Man- ning went to the Aleutian f{slands in ac- cordance with instructions from Captain Shoemaker, who had recelved Information through the natives of the existonce of a seal herd near the western end of the long chaln of islands. While ‘cruising among the fslands early in July the executive offi- cer of Manning, Lieutenant Berthoff, went ashore with a boat's crew on the Island of Bouldyer. There he fournd a rookery ot fur seals similar to those found on the Pribiloft islands. i . Bouldyer is between Bering sea and the Pacific ocean, fully 3,500 miles' west of San | Francisco, but still within American juris- dictign. Lieutenant Berthoft approached the herd closely enough to observe that none of the seals had been branded and there was no ign that white men in search ©of fur seals had ever been neat the island. Manning will continue searching to dis. cover It there are other rookeries in ti locality. The suggéstion ' is made that these islands may be one of the rendezvous of the fur seal during thelr absence from the Pribiloff islands, The discovery is con- eldered important by the offfcials here in view of the gradual decline of the fur seal on the Pribiloft siands: AUTHORITY IS _ITNDISPUTED_ t of United States to Midway Recognized WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—~The Japanese minister, Mr. Takahira, sald today when asked as to the attitude of the-Japanese government in regard to the . lelands and Wake island, of which sq much has been written about lately, that the Japanese had no intention to claim soyv- erelgnty over the islands, and that when the United States government made certain representations in relation to Midway lends in January, 1901, the Japanmese gov- ernment at once declared to the same ef- tect. g Mr. Takahira further sald that if the United States government wonld send a war vessel to the islands as.reported in the newspapers, Japan would expect only that due protection shouM. be. glven fo Japanese | subjects who may be found there, as long s ‘they are engaged 'in ‘peacelul occupa- Aside from the foregoing statement from the Japanese minister, it can be added' from authoritative government sources that the most satisfactory feeling exists between the American and Japanese officials as to the good faith of esch and the harmoni- ous adjustment relating to Marcus! isfand.

OPPOSES MARKET HOUSE APPROPRIATION City Executive Promises to Veto Every General Fund Expense I{em Until Market House Rewo- lation is Rescinded. Over the veto of the mayor the city councll last night by an unanimous vote of the six members present re-enacted its resolution authorizing the eity engineer and Councilman Hascall and Zimman to attend the sixth annual convention of the League of American Municipalities, to be held at Grand Rapids, Mich., next week, and allowing each of the officlals named the sum of $50 from the gemeral fund to pay the expenses of the trip. When the roll was called the members present were Councilmen Burkley, Has- call, Hoye, Lobeck, Trostler, Whitéhorn and Zimman, and by vote Coumcilman Burkley was called to the chair. The mayor's veto message on the meas- ure referred to was as follows: I return herewith without my approval document No. 19, passed by your honor- able body &t your last regular meeting This docufient Is a resolution authorising the city engineer and Councilmen Hascall and Zimman to attend the sixth annual convention of the League of American Municipalities, to be held In Grand Rapids, Mich., the present month, and allowing each the sum of $60 for necessary expenses, to be pald from the general fund. I veto this resolution because it provides for the payment of this $150 out of the gen- eral fund. 1 have recelved from the clity comptroller a statement of the general fund balance up to date, and taking the fixed charges and the different items set aside by your honorable body, the general fund is now overdrawn 651, Among the items set aside I find the following : Two thousand dollars for the treasurer's department, §2,000 for the tax department, 82000 for &treet signs, $20 for Funston avenue, $15.000 for market house, making a total of $21,%0. Your honorable body must call a hait. At the pace now set an overlap in the general fund is inevitable. Should you rescind the resolution setting aside $15,000 for a market house you would leave the general fund in a condition to meet the nNecessary and actual expenses that are bound to accrue during the remainder of this year, aided by such back taxes as may be hereafter coliccted. If not a large over- 1ap stares you in the face. Until some such arrangement is made I shall be compelled to veto every item of expense to be pald from the general fund. Other Vetoes § Several other resolutions adopted by the councll at ite last previous meeting wero returned without the signature of the mayor and in each case the veto was sus- tained. The mayor's refusal to sign the resolution appropriating $10 to reimburse T.'B. Barnes for damages claimed, which was one of this number, was upon the grounds that the resolution was defective In falling to describe the nature of the damages alleged to have been sustained | by Mr. Barnes and that it failed to state the fund from which it was proposed to meney. Amvibier of tiese resoiu- that appropriating $82.65 from fund to reimburse Samuel Reichenberg for an alleged overcharge, and that the mayor objected to for the Teason that the nature of the claim was not explicity stated, and that the genmeral fund had already been overdrawn. In his communication he stated, however, that he believed Mr. Reichenberg to be entitled to the money and that he would sign a resolution in due form. The resolution directing the tax commis- sloner to cancel upon the tax list for 1900 an item of $192 assessed against the chap- ter ‘diocese of Nebraska was returned simply for the reason that a mistake had been made in the fesolution, In the de- scription of the property. Following the same policy with regard to the general fund which characterized his contemporary action upon other resolutions the mayor had refused toeign the document instruct- ing the Board of Public Works to repair Forty-sixth avenue from Center street south to Castellar street, and his action was sustained by the councl, Toward the close of the evening Council- man Whitehorn and a resolution which he Introduced In the regular course of busi- ness gave rise to considerable good-natured banter among the members. Hascall Makes a Joke. The measure provided for three are lights to be placed on Military avenue between the former terminus of the street rallway line and the city limits. The lights had been requested by the Country club and Mr. Hascall sald he would favor the resolution because he had a Mud-sill elub in his part of the city which would later be glad to get a few lights. Councilman Lobeck added t he had a club of gar- deners, farmers and dalrymen who ‘would also want lights before long and he hoped the other members would etand by him when he asked for them.

The strikers were worked up to such a high pitch of excitement dast night over the shooting of Sharp, who was one of their leaders, that it was feared an outbreak would occur this morning and it was thought better to have the soldiers mear at hand. During the day it is the intention to transfer the battalion to Manila park, about mid- way between Lansford and Tamaqua, afd strike camp. The people of Lansford recelved a great surprise when they awoke this morning and found a battalon of soldiers in their midst The soldiers came at the request of the sheriff of Carbon county. Contrary to ex- pectations, no attempt was made by the strikers to march to Nesquehoning and no demonstration of any kind was made, either here or at Nesquehoning.

After interviewing several of the men who saw Sharp killed they went to Mauch Chunk to engage counsel and to make arrangements to push the prosecution of the deputy charged with the shooting. B. Soyder, assistant superintendent of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company, is authority for the statement that Deputy Ronemus and not Hi McElmoyle is the man who shot Sharp last night. It is eald that Ronemus admits the shooting, but de- clares he was acting in self-defense. Both Ronemus and McEimoyle are in jail Mauch Chunk.

Cronk as geand exalted ruler. Those not present at the meeting cannot appreciate the honor that has been done this lodge. From the time the gavel fell it was the supreme thought of every one that the man elected to this position should nd for citizenship and character. Since the organization of the lodge it has been in Its membership. Mr. Cronk, Judge Vinsonhaler safd: “The grand lodge selected - for its grand 'ex- alted ruler a man as well if not bétter fitted for the position thas any of his pre- decessors. No member stands higher with the lodges of the country than does Cronk. He will carry into the grand lodge the same enthuslasm -that he has shown here. He will fill" the position well." “While No. 30 and all the lodges of the state were in the fromt rahks of those working for his election;” ‘continded Sudge Vinsonhaler, “and while we feel ‘chesty’ that he was elected, our greatest work wi keeplng out of the way of one George P. Cronk, whose election was due more than anything else to his own fitness for the place.” Mr. “I have faced many trylng-situations,” responded Mr. Cronk, “but mot one that impressed me with my utter incapacity as this one does. It has been sald that no word has ever lssued from mouth as sweet as home. This is my home; I have re- ceived inspiration here; 1 have received sympathy, and this, my lodge, has. done more for me than I can ever thank it for. If T have added one jewel to the crown of this lodge I am happy for it. I camnot adequately thank you, my brothers, for this great honor you do me.” Mr. Cronk then introduced Jerome B. Fisher, past grand exalted ruler, who sald many nice things of the western Eiks and of the new exalted ruler. “‘Happy, indeed is the lodge that has Cronk,” he sald. “The east is happy In his selection.
