CABLE OFFICE IS
WRECKED BY FIRE
Fire, tlio origin of which in a
mystery, started in the record room
of the government cable ofllce short
ly after 6 o'clock this morning ami
the combination of heat and water
resulted in seriously crippling the
service. The instruments on the
Seward wire were injured and it will!
require several days at least to place
that line in shape for use. The in
struments on the Sitka end of the
line and on the land line are all right
hut owing to the condition of the
jotllce temporary olllees have been
established in the government ware
house across the street from the
permanent building.
After the lire was discovered there
was considerable delay in getting the
lire department out. It is asserted
that it was impossible to get tele
phone eonncctions with the tire
house. There was a new operator in
! the telephone olllee and Manager
Quinn says that the operator declares
that proper connections were made
luil that no response was obtainable
I for several minutes. An investiga
tion is heing conducted to ascertain
where the blame lies, as it is decided
that the delay is in a great measure
I responsible for the extent of the
| damage, which was for the most part
' con lined In the instruments, for the
I lireineii did good work once they
j arrived.
The lire originated at such a point
| as to ignite copies of old messages
wit It which the room was tilled, and
it extended to the partition 011 the
i ot her side of which was located tlit*
| instruniciits. Several typewriting in
struments were destroyed and the
olllees were badly torn up by the
force of the water an well as damaged
by lire.
Capt. Hlaek of the cable oftlce in at
a loss to account for the lire. He
says that there wan no fire in the
stoves of the building at the time and
believes that the wires of the cable
oftlce do not by themselves carry
enough current to cause a tire oven
should they come in contact with the
walls through wearing away of the
insulation, lu the opinion of Capt.
Hlaek the wires of the town system
became crossed with those running
into the cable olllee.
Manager Quinn of the Alaska
Water, Light & Telephone Co., says
that there was no power or light cur
rent on at the hour the lire started
and that t here could have been no
I crossed wires with the telephone for
if there had it would have blown out
a fuse in the telephone oftlce. He
further says that the telephone opera
tor busied herself with trying to get
tlie lire house and the saw mill on the
llrst alarm and paid no attention to
the multitudinous calls coming in
after the llrst alarm, thus accounting
for the report that there was no one
at the telephone oftlce when the lire
started.
11 is considered very fortunate that
the cable oftlce escaped as easily as
it did for had the instruments been
totally'••'siroyed Valdez would have
been isolated for many days as the
cahlcship Burnside will not be ready
to depart from Seattle until about
I ■
July 20 and the cable connection
could not have been repaired until
she arrived, although the land line
might have been fixed up for tempo
rary use.

HOGGATT AND CORSON
ARE NICELY ROASTED
That the correspondent of the Pros
pector did not exaggerate when ho
sent thin paper the account of the
; manner in which (lovernor iloggatt
and his candidate for delegate, John
! Corson were Hcored at the mining
Convention held recently in Seattle
I is evidenced hy the following taken
I from the Post. Intelligencer:
"(lovernor lioggatt, of Alaska, and
John W. Corson, one of the republi
can nominees for Alaska delegate to
congress, were the subjects of severe
criticism at the closing session of the
Northwestern branch of the Ameri
can Mining Congress yenterdav after
noon. J. \V. Ivey, formor collector
of customs for the district of Alaaka,
attacked both Mr. iloggatt and Mr.
Corson in a speech, ami E. E. (Ira
liam, an Alaska mining man, scored
Mr. CorHon for, iih lie alleged, IiIh fail
lire to keep his promise to address
I the miners. Mr. Uraham said he did
not blame Thomas Cale, Alaska dele
gate to congress and candidate for re
election, heeanse Mr. ('ale had in
formed tlic convention that he would
he unahle to be present.
"A. \V. Melntire, who presided,
stated that an effort had been made
to secure the general views of Alaska
mining men on the legislation desired
for that section, hut that while Alas
kans generally had been invited to
attend they bad not responded in any
numbers.
"Mr. Uraham asked that all Alaska
mining men present stand up, and
there were only five in the entire con
vention.
•"If the Alaskans fail to attend this
convention it is their own fault ," said
Mr. (irahain, "and it is this lack of
interest that makes it difficult to se
cure the legislation the country
should have. I jieraonally informed
John Corson, who is now in the city,
that he was expected to address this
convention this afternoon, and I know
he has been notified of that fact sev
eral times. There are thousands of
Alaska mining men now in Heattle,
but they have apparently taken no
interest In this meeting.
' "A man proposing to represent.Al
aska in congress should accept every
opportunity to discuss the needs of
the country and secure aids in placing
such matters before congress, and I
propose that all my friends in Alaska
will know of the lack of interest that,
lias been shown in this Instance.
• "I do not blame Mr. Cale for not
appearing here, as he Ih not In the
city, and I understand was unable to
arrange to leave Washington at this
tlmo."
"This sj>ceeh was vigorously ap
plauded by the convention, and whon
J. W. Ivey followed in like strain he
was applauded.
4 ''Where Is (iovemor Iloggatt?"
said Mr. Ivey. "He wan Invited to
addresa this convention, hut has not
even let us know that he would not
lie present. If It were a |M>mdble thing
to do, I would favor this convention
