An inexperienced Chinese Reinsman
Makes IL Lot of Trouble.

Pung Sow, Chinaman, started in for
the first time this morning to drive
vegetable wagon-and is now in jail
He navigated King street all right
but when he got into Bethel his wagon
began to switch from one side of the
road to the other. Not knowing how to
guide the horse he pulled the wrong
line and landed on the cannon post
at the post Office corner. The crowd
helped him off and he started up Mer-
chant street. Near Schaefer's store
he drove right into hack and could
go no further. There he was arrested
for needless driving.

TO CAPTURE TRADE

Alaska Begins-Juaeau Bank Fails
and Manager Is Arrested.

Lest Seattle may lose the trade OF the
Yukon, the Alaska SearchIigfst. faEoraniy
inclined toward Seattle. as all good Alas
kans are utIers the following kindly note
OF warning.
Capt. William Moore addressed the
British Columbia Board of Trade al ITS
quarterly meeting. held in Victoria Jan
uzry l., on the subject OF what ne con-
sldered the best plan for Victoria to ad-
vance her interests in securing the trade
OF the Yukon, where he estimates there
are Is0 miners wlntering. Capt Moore
stated that IL uninterrupted navigation
could be secured from Victoria TO Forty
Mile and Circle City, excepting OF course
the crossing of the divide and portage
around the White Horse. that all the Yu-
koneFs would obtain their supplies from
Victoria When his address was finished
the captain was rendered a vote OF thanks
and a general discussion Of the subject
took place. DR.. Milne stated that the
whole matter had already been brought
before the legislature and pretty freely dis
cussed He thought that If representa-
ton were made by the board that Lynn
canal is in British Columbia Ii would have
a good influence He said the American
claim 10 il was an unjust one More con-
seryative members thought the board
should reserve the expression of its opin-
ion until after the boundary commission
had finished its work.
'-Ons thing is quite certain. X the head
of Lynn canal belongs 10 Canada the en-
terprise OF Victoria merchants, with or
without government assistance, would
soon have a GOOD trail over the divide
and a steamboat line on the lakes and up
per waters OF the Yukon. Though il is
doubtful if the establishment Of such
route could ever defect the bulk Of the
trade which San Francisco now has, and
which goes In by way Of the mouth OF
the river yet il would unquestionably
prove OF immense advantage 70 the min
ers of that section, and profitable 10
capital interested: but IL owned and ope-
rated by Vietorians. where would Juneau
and It's ally. Seattle. come in?
Isn't il a project worth Immediate and
most careful consideration from Seattle
mercaants?''

AFAREWELL CONCERT
SOusa Delights a Large Audi
ence at Seattle Theater.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION.
How Arthur Pryor Became Master OF
the Trombone-"The P.-T. March,
for an Encore.

Music Hath Charms 10 Soothe the Saw
ave Breast" This may be true literally,
out the music OF Soasa's peerless band
rather excites the ordinary human being
and causes him 20 applaud franiicaily
every number played by this combination
OF artists. The Seattle thester was well
hiied last night. especially the balconies,
and then enthusiasm was even greater
than on the occasion of the first perform
aEce. There is hardly any wonder that
Sousa has become so idolized by the music
loving people OF America, not only for the
high class music he arranges, but for the
genial manner in which he responds TO en-
cores and the friendly. brotherly manner
With which he treats his musicians.
Another thing that has added greatly 10
the success of his tour is the presence OF
such talented yirtuosos as Miss Duke and
Arthur Pryor, and 80 sweet and highly
cultured a vocalist as Miss French. These
artists are ali young, nstive-born Ameri-
cans, and are proof positive that America
is rapidly coming 10 the front in the mu-
steal world Miss Duke Is the daughter OF
Gen. Duke. of Kentucky. and was one OF
Joachim's favorite pupils. strong fea-
ture Of her art is the exquisite feeling
which she puts into her numbers. Miss
French was suffering slightly from cold
contracted on the Sound. but nevertheless
she rendered that difficult soprano poem.
''Melba Valse" by blackstone. admirably.
For an encore last night she sang that
sweetest OF sweet ballads. The Last Rose
OF Summer" delightfully."-.
Arthur Pryor, the trombone soloist, who
made such a hit on Thursday night. re-
peated the numbers he played on that oc-
casion last night by request OF a large
number OF people. who signed a petition
circulated by J. K. Moore. who knew the
Pryor family in ST. Joseph. Mo- Mr.. Moore
first heard this young man play fifteen
years ago, when he was so small he had 10
stand on box to make himself seen and
heard. Then his arm was almost too short
to manipulate a slide trombone. which in
strument he plays so divinely now. and
for which he has always had love. His
father is one of the Oldest and best band
leaders in the United States. and his broth
er one OF the finest eornetists in the United
States.
The gem OF last nights concert was the
rendition OF the descriptive piece. 'Sheri-
dams Ride" composed by Sousa. Another
number that brought forth much applause
was the famous leaders new march, king
Cotton" For an encore to this the band
played the popular Observation-Disclosures
March" as 1t never was played before.
The strong trombone part gave Pryor and
the other trombonists an opportunity to
make themselves heard 10 good advantage
Probably the prettiest number Of the even
ing was "Schuberts Serenade'' which was
given for an encore.

ALASKA STEAMER IN.
The Topeka Delayed a Day by Severe
Wea her-Bis Passenger List.

After one of the toughest, most disagree
able trips on record, the steamer City OF
Topeka arrived In port at 10 o'clock last
night twenty-four hours late. There Was
not two hours pleasant weather during
the entire trip. and oftentimes Pilot George
could not see the water over the guard rail,
so dense was the fog
When the steamer left Juneau on
Wednesday February u. the mercury was
II degrees below zero, and the snow was
from eight TO ten feet on q level. Capt.
Wallace says the weather during this trip
was the coolest and most severe he has
ever experienced in Alaska, and residents
of Juneau keep so close TO their homes that
IL is impossible 10 get any news. The Wind
blew so hard after leaving Juneau and the
weather got so thick that the steamer lad
10 put into Hunters bay for shelter ali enc
night.

Ezra Gibson, who has been at work on
the Glacier mine on Sheep creek during the
winter. came into town on Saturday, Feb
ruary 8. says the Mining Record. and left
again for that camp the following day.
AIr. Gibson says the richest ore that Sheep
creek has yet produced is now being shot
out OF the slope in the tunnel be-
ing worked by Andy Anderson. This tun-
mel is being run in on the footwali vein,
the mouth being at a point about go feet
below the center or location stake, and
about co feet up the mountain above the
upper Silver Queen workings. The tun-
mel struck the ore chute about forty feet
In from'the surface. The center vein also.
upon which STOPPING and other work is
now going on, continues To show up from
four 10 six feet OF fine ore. upon which
upraise Is nO@ being made 10 connect
the lower and upper tunnels. There is no
mine as yet opened up in Alaska that can
0ut-ival the present showing of rich ore
acw exposed IN the various workings on
the Glacier mine, and when properly
worked no mine IN Alaska can produce
greater shipments Of both the white and
yellow metal.
Arrangements have been made between
the Z. c. Co. and A. &. Co TO make con-
nections az S.tka and run the steamer
Bertha on the Cook inlet route during the
summer making semi-monthly trips. The
time schedule Is now being prepared.

excellent company is headed by such IA
vorits players as Barton Hill and Ma
thaniel Hartwig.
The New York World said: The story
OF the comedy is familiar, telling of the
transfer OF beautiful girl from humble
home TO a position in society to which she
has never been accustomed: her inability
TO change her simple. natural manners to
fit the artificial conditions of her new STA
ton; the estrangement this causes te-
tween herself and husband through the

triumph. when she comes out as the we'll

A Sterling Irish Play.

The Chase stock company viii this even
ing present the sterling Irish play. ''Kitty
O'Connor." at Cordray's theaier. They
consider IL the strongest Irish play In their
extensive repertoire. The situations are
all highly interesting, and the plot is a
strong, well defined one. There are some
good scenic effects: the prison quarry and
the change from there TO midocean at mid
night; the assassination. the death strug-
gle and the realistic escape are all very
thrilling. Kitty O'Connor' will run TO
Thursday night, when the bin will be
changed.
