The vicious elements dominate in Skag-
way. The sorry condition of public order
is made impressive by the effective threat
OF ''Soapy' Smith 10 resist the lynching
of Murderer Fay. The vigilance commit
tee was intimida,ed. There are said to be
something like sixty saloons in Skagway.
Where do they get their liquors? Their
numbers and their defiance OF law In keep
ing open are startling testimony OF the
influence OF the men who run them and
the associated gamblers, and the elements
they control. OF course, no man need get
into trouble who avoids Il; but I, viii not
be possible always TO keep out of its way.
As il is. it is evident that the large ma
jority Of citizens who are laW-abiding are
uneasy and fear for the future. 1t is well
that the government has acted promptly.

The new United States customs regula-
lions for bonding Canadian-bought goods
at Skagway and Dyea. ii appears, do not
give satisfaction on the northern side of
the boundary line. They contain pro-
visions which the Canadian papers de-
nounce as Il 'tsmart-Aleck trick" For in
stance, they have discovered that ii will
be impracticable for individuals to give
the necessary bond at Skagway: but must
put up the necessary cash. After the
goods have been safely delivered into
Canadian territory, the Yukoner must re-
turn 10 Dyea for his money. A recon-
mendation has been made TO the Canadian
government that 1t make provision 10 adj
vance the cash at the end of the Journey
through American territory, and thus OBJ
viate the necessity of the return trip.

The report endeavors to make 1t APP
pear that the girl whom Aranguren

modify the cruelty of the act. The I'M

years of age was playing outside. and
when she saw the soldiers ran scream

He admitted his identity and was then

HOW STOCKS HAVE GONE Up.


San Francisco CAL.
II Is significant Of the extent 20 which
the kloDdike excitement mas affected the
Eastern states that the stocks of all rail-
ways likely 10 obtain a large share OF
the travel westward have advanced con-
siderahly on the strength OF the increase
ing trade they are expected 10 receive.
In such papers as the Wall Street News
these roads are referred to as the kio1-
dixie group" and the announcement Is
made that all OF them are booming.
The financial editor of the New York
Tribune attributes much OF what IL
calls the sensational advance" in the
bonds of the Seattle and East
ern road TO contest for control,
but says the upward movement in al the
northern lines is due largely 10 the
'Klondike craze and its effect upon the
public mind. He quotes reports 10 the
secretary of war as indicating that Aeho
people viii go TO Alaska this year. ana
comedies that estimates OF a large eusi-
ness for the KIondike group Of roads are
we'll justified.
The Wall Street News. in discussing
the rapid rise in shares, says that at pres
ent IL is based upon anticipation only,
bur adds that the Northwestern railways
have spent a great deal OF time anu
money in an effort 10 approximate the eS-
tent OF the Klondike rush this year. ana
concludes, '.if only a fair part OF their eN-
peetations are realized. the shares OF all
roads running TO the Pacific coast are
selling very low
The Tribune estimates that the abnor-
mally large rush for Alaska will continue
for at least two years but argues that the
vast extent of the Alaskan gold districts
and the richness of the placers thus far ais
covered promise permanent trade OF
great proportions. II is pointed OUT tnas
the difficulties which have confronted the
Alaskan miners in the past viii be dimn-
ished with each succeeding year as the
facilities for obtaining supplies increase,
and that consequently the development or
the country will go steadily forward, so
that even If the rush falls OFT after. mex.
year. the trade Of the region in supplies OF
all kinds is likely to grow in magnitude TOT
years 10 come.
Wall street is not always safe guide 10
follow. 1t has its temporary alterations
as Well as the rest OF the country Never
theless. when ii is SO sanguine OF greal
trade and business in a particular direc-
ton as to put up the millions or money
necessary TO advance the stocks and shares
of a whole group of railroads, it may be ae-
cepted as q very good indication that
good basis exists for the bull movement.
In 4 sparsely settled country like the Pa
cific coast We do not feel the kiondike eN-
element as il Is felt in the crowded East,
where the intending prospectors OF the new
gold fields are counted not by hundreds,
but by thousands. Wall street is in the
center OF the excitement In the East ana
knows what is coming. AS the Tribune
says, 'ft may be imagined what earnings
the companies which handle the bulk of the
Alaska trade will make this year and what
permanent trade is opened 10 them. Sup
plies for 200. 900 people must average over
a ton each. and all has 10 be carried III.

The governor Of California has inter-
granting him respite until June.
Worden was convicted Of wrecking
train during the great railroad strike of
1894 and causing the death of soldier
1t was dastardly act, and public in
dignation applauded what seemed to be
a just sentence.
Two notable appeals have been made
to the governor for clemency. one by ex-
President Cleveland and the other by
Debs. They are both characteristic.
Debs' is infiammatory. and is based
upon an improbability. Cleveland's is
pacific and merciful, and is based upon
broad and liberal view Of the cireum-
stances.
Debs insists. in spite Of the evidence,
that Worden did not wreck the train,
but Is the victim Of "a corporate con-
spiraey Matched during the strike to
turn public sentiment against the strik-

ton between the murderous impulse of
an ordinary criminal and the desperate
act Of a man who, in a period of intense
excitement and a condition something
like civil war, seeks TO avenge what he
considers wrongs done to his fellow
workers and himself.
In this view many will concur. It
was an awful experience through which
the men passed. The deplorable loss
OF life and the misery that ensued can
not but have had a saiutary effect upon
all concerned. A monument has been
erected to the memory OF the soldier
who was killed while doing his duty;
the bitterness of the occasion has
passed away, and If clemeney is shown
the one who was convicted justice VIII

Seattle, Feb. !, 1898.
To the Editor: AT the time of the Louis
Riei insurrection near Edmonton, y. w. t..
Canada, fourteen or fifteen years ago, the
Canadian Pacific railway was not con-
structed between Port Arthur and Winni-
peg. and all traffic for Manitoba and ada
cent provinces went via ST. Paul and Min
neapolis. At one time a train of two sec
tons containing a regiment OF Canadian
troops, arms, equipment, etc. entered the
United States either at Port Huron or De-
troit going TO Chicago, thence via ST. Paul
to Winnipeg Accompanying this regiment
was Sir Garnet Wolseley. then, i believe.
a colonel In the British army, going TO
Winnipeg 10 take command of the district.
Nearly, IL not all, the supplies for the
troops engaged in subduing the Riel re-
bellion passed through the United States.

ident of Minnesota, talked with some of the
soldiers, who expressed a hearty apprecia-
ton OF the courtesy OF the United States.
