London. Oct 2-The Globe publishes .
startling story of the alleged KIDNAPPING
and Imprisonment. OF a Chsnaman IN the
Chinese legation here. The newspaper
says the Chinese government learned IN

the first step toward the overthrow Of the
present Manchur dynasty. The plot was
disclosed by a premature importation OF
ics coolies 10 Canton from Hongkong 10

aroused suspicious. Some OF the leaders
were arrested and confessed. One. a doc
tor named Sun Vat Sen. escaped 20 Amer
lea and thence made his way to London.
This doctor. It IS alleged, has been miss

his English friends claim that they learned
that he is imprisoned in the Chinese iega-

WHISKY In THE SUGAR.

all OF which had been done In the regular
manner. though IL was matter of general
comment that the miners about Juneau
had suddenly Increased their demand for
sugar.
There has been numerous shipments OF
sugar TO Alaska in recent months. The
trade might have continued and become
thriving industry had II not been for an
accident while unloading the damaged
cargo from the steamer. A sling gave
away and spilled several barrels on the
wharf. one OF which broke. open and out
rolled key OF whisky. \ Post-Intelligen-
Ger correspondent was standing near and
seized the opportunity ITO make a story"
That was where the customs officers
learned OF the swindle practiced on the
government.
Today Deputy Collector Bowen and a
fore. of inspectors commenced tapping all
OF the sugar barrels on the wharf, which
resulted In the seizure OF a dozen kegs. as
already stated. The barrels were shipped
from San Francisco and consigned TO

About this time notice was served on the
collector that the barrels containing the
kegs OF whisky had been ordered re-
shipped 10 San Francisco consequently
the spirits were not intended for Alaska

the seizure. or course those serving the
notice had no idea that there was whisky

The water front has undergone a COM

In the mercantile field some once IA

the old names still represent live con-
