Serious Loss.

The death Of Robert j. Handy is SER
ious loss at this tine. If it be necessary
to elect Senator to fill the place made
vacant in the Legislature, the citizens of
the county will DO subjected to quite u
heavy tax. Although Mr.. Handy made
no great pretensions to wisdom, it will DO
rather difficultto fill his place. He had de-
cided opinions on every question and the
courage to uphold what he believed to be
right and denounce what he conceived to
be wrong. His frankness and genial man
ner led his opponents as well as his friends
to esteem and treat him kindly. By his
urbanity he won friends in the different
parties, and acquired an influence among
his associates that many other members
could not obtain. In the Senate his los

ally regretted His fellow members cor
daily unite in doing honor to his memory.
Whatever mistakes he made in his legi.la
tive capacity, we must attribute to the
head rather than the heart. Hs was 10y al
to his friends and not ungenerous 10 those
who differed with him in politics. In all
the positions in which he was placed, he
earnestly desired to do his duty He was

Whatever may be said or thought OF his

TACOMA, Wash, March 31.-Steamer
Cleveland has arrived at Tacoma
direct from Skaguay with news of q
shooting ARRAY in Skaguay. March "a,
the day the Cleveland sailed, in which
two men were killed in a saloon or
dance hall, and a third man shot in the
leg in the same resort. The shooting
occurred but a few hours before the
vessel sailed and particulars were not
obtainable. It is said that the men
killed were bound for the gold fields.
The Cleveland passed the steamer
George w. Elder, from Portland, for
Skaguay and Dyea, with a very large
number of passengers" ION the rocks in
Tongas narrows, last Saturday night.
The bow was quite a distance out Of
water, and the stern deep but not sub.
merged.
The steamer Rosalie was standing by
the Elder, and assistance was refused
from the Cleveland. 1t was moi known
how seriously the ship was damaged,
but it was hoped to float her at high
tide. The Elder belongs to the Pacific
Coast Steamship company.
