 Mir Bolton, who has been In charge of the Troup wharf for long time. has left for the Fast. Mir. Bolton Is a most pleasant gentleman, and he made many friends while here. The News wishes him abundant success wherever he may locate.
 Mir. F. P. Loomis, who has been at Klawock during the summer, returned last week. He made the trip in a row boat in just ono week. Mrs .Loomis, who has been visiting in Topeka, Kan sas, for some time, Is expected to ar rive home soon.
 Mir. James P. Ker, of Vancouver, was passenger for this place on the last up trip of the Manuense. He has taken charge of Troup's wharf. A News man found Mir. Ker a very pleas ant gentleman and we think the pat rons of that wharf will find him all right.
 It is Fred Page Tustiu, that has been appointed Commissioner for Fort Wrangel. Our last issue did not give his name correctly. Mir. Tustin has a wife and one child, boy thirteen years of age, and they will come with him to this city in about one month. Mir. D.. McKinnon received letter from him last week. MT. Tustin is a special agent for the land department and comes to this place very highly Iecom- mended.
 The Tonquin, neat little steamer, was tied up at the Davidge wharf the last of the week for several days, and left us last Friday. Mir. Webb, ex-rep- resentative and a prominent business man of Seattle, is one of her owners, and was on board of her. He has been up in this country for several months, and from his appearance, We would say Alaska agrees with him. Ofcourse he is after gold mine and we believe he already has something good, but he won't say so. We were much pleased to meet MT. Webb.

The Southern Cross.

After you have known the Southern
Cross for awhile and get on speaking
terms with it your respect for it grows.
When we first met it, writes E. w.
Harden to the Chicago Post, we were at
sea and were keeping good hours By
8 o'clock all of US would have turned
in. When the Southern Gross first comes
above the horizon, it lies over on its
side, and it is not straight in the heav-
ems until midnight. Of course none Of
us would sit up three hours to see the
cross right itself in the heavens, and so
we did not see it as it should be seen
until one night in Colombo.
We had been out to dinner and did
not go on board our ship until midnight.
The moon had set, and we We're rowed
out from the landing wharf in one of
those chronological exhibit boats which
the Ceylonese had at the Worlds fair,
the outrigger kind. A big Peninsular
and Oriental passenger ship was weigh
ing its anchors as we passed, and as we
got on the quarter deck of our ship the
liner went by with hundreds of electric
lights cleaning over the water. When
it passed out of sight, we caught sight
OF the Southern Cross, high in the heav-
ems, standing straight with our horizon.
and it was as brilliant and as beautiful
AS we had been led to expect

QUIV0OAL DENIALF ROM MADRID

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The president
by tomorrow will communicate our ans
wer to Spain's peace proposal to Am
bassador Cambon. If Spain gives as
surance that an armistice will be fol-
lowed by treaty of peace on certain
general lines it is probable that the pres
will agree to an armistice. But it can
be stated positively the president is de.
termined to lose no ground through
Spanish diplomacy. The armistice, if
granted, will be conditioned upon the
most binding pledges that it is to be fol-
lowed by a treaty of peace. Moreover,
the preliminary agreement that provides
for an armistice must constitute in
itself an undertaking on the part Of
Spain to submit to certain broad condi-
lions imposed by the United States as
the basis for peace. Military operations
are to go steadily forward, so far as the
United States is concerned, until the ne
gotiations have advanced much further
than they are at present.

Getting Up.

The Duke of Wellington slept on an
iron camp bedstead IS inches wide and
argued that when man wants to turn
over it is time to turn OUT Edward
Everett Hale quotes this remark Of the
duke in the ''Ten Times One Record
and takes issue with him. "The prin-
ciple is we'll enough" says DR.. Hale,
"but think the detail is wrong. Sleep
is far too important to be made uncom-
Portable. % DR.. Hale goes on to tell of
various ingenious devices for automat-
ically waking a sleeper. A friend of his
fixed his alarm so that at the foreordain-
ed moment the bedclothes were dragged
from the bed. The same gentleman
found another contrivance which work
ed better. 1.-The alarm struck match,
which lighted the lamp which boiled
the water for Rossiter's shaving. If
Rossiter staid in bed too long, the wa
ter boiled over upon his razor and clean
shirt and the prayer book his mother
gave him and Coleridge s autograph and
his open pocketbook and all the other
precious things he could put in a basin
underneath when he went to bed; SO he
had to get up before that moment
came"

men is easily Ineligible, for while
nothing escapes his argus eyed vigilance
he always recognizes and acknowledges
good work. A few years ago, while he
was conducting from memory. as usual

James hall, "a strange thing happen
ed, as Mr.. Haggard used to say. Band
and conductor lost touch for several
bars, and when the piece was ended DR..
Richter signaled to the orchestra to play
the overture again from the beginning.
This time everything went without a
hitch, and at the close DR.. Richter
turned round, and addressing the audi
ence said, Ladies and gentlemen, the
mistake was mine, not the orchestra's s, >"
generous admission which provoked a
salvo of applause.
