The smaller one then drew a revolver
and pointing it at Brennan added force
to his companions command by say
ing:
Eyes, and id quick, too, or I'H
bore a hole through YOU"
SAW 1T WAS SERIOUS.
Brennan at first treated the matter
as a joke and walking to the small man
attempted to raise the latter's mask
saying:
"Ah, come off; don't give me any Of
that Who are your"
Brennan soon saw that the affair
was stern reality, however, for both
men grappled with him, and the three
fought for some time, until suddenly
Brennan heard a report and felt some
thing sting him in the left side of the
Jaw, then felt the warm blood cours-
ing down his neck, soaking his shirt
front and collar.
When the weapon was discharged
Brennan let go his hold on the twain,
and they ran swiftly away, disappear
ing in the darkness. Brennan stopped
the flow of blood with his pocket
handkerchief and proceeded to tho
Rondo station, where he gave a descrip-
ton Of the hold-up artists. He was
placed in the wagon and conveyed to
the city hospital where DR.. Anckep
looked after his wound.
The bullet had entered on the left
side Of the jaw, striking the jaw bone,
1t had glanced off the bone and had
taken an oblique course, lodging about
four inches to the left of where it en-
tered, toward the back of the neck. The
bullet could be easily felt with the
fingers. The young man experienced
considerable pain, and 1t was thought
best not to extract the bullet until this
morning.
The police at the Rondo station do
not look upon the desperate hold-up as
an affair of much seriousness.

Brennan's story is that he was on his

standing as if in conversation. The
taller of the two appeared to be about
five feet, seven inches in height, was
stout and snooth-faced. He wore a
dark suit and a light Fedora hat. The
smaller man was about five feet, five
inches tall, was slim and wore a black
coat and vest, light trousers and light

When Brennan was within about ten
feet from the pair the taller Of the
two stepped forward, and to Brennans

lie is told that the primeval forests
have been ceded to a British syndicate
and that If he wants to cut down tree
he must pay for it. But before he can
use an ak he must pay $40 more for a
hand lumberman's certificate. And
these are only the preliminary duties
and taxes. Later ON he will have the
pleasure of yielding 10 per cent Of all
the gold he takes out to the Canadian
government, which gobbles every other
claim discovered.
Just how far the Canadians will 20
toward enforcing their claims to Alas.
kan territory is ques ion, but In the
past the British policy has always been
to grab everything in sight first and ar
bitrate afterward IL necessary.
The Canadian government is repre-.
sented in the Yukon region by force
of about 800 men of the northwestern
mounted police, commanded by Major
Walsh. These men are magnificently
equipped and we'll trained. Uncle Sam
has less than 100 soldiers, commanded
by Lieutenant Colonel Randall. They
are there for the purpose Of preserving
order.
But besides the little handful Of sol.
diers there will be many thousands Of
Uncle Sans citizens in the Yukon
country as soon as spring has fairly be-
gun. They may submit tamely to the
many impositions which the Canadians
have prepared to practice on them and
they may not. 1t would be a bad piece
of business if the American prospectors
and the northwestern mounted police
should clash, but the unsupported
claims of Canada to Alaskan territory, il
persisted in, are apt to bring about just
such a crisis
At any rate there is bound to be a
lively diplomatic discussion concerning
the boundary line. For over two years
a treaty providing for the fixing of the
boundary has been pending in the
United States senate. The treaty proba.
bly, will be ratified this spring, and com.
missioners will be appointed to settle
the boundary. If the British claim holds
good, Dyea and Skagguay and Muir gla
cier will be lost to the United States.
Up to 1884 both countries were prac
tically united as to the boundary line

According to the terms of the treaty be-
tween Russia and Great Britain. the

dies pass the penltentlal season In sewing
: upon their summer frocks. One clever
girl has blouse and a low waist to each
skirt, and, with different colored ribbons,
appears to have great variety Of clothes.
The new parasols and the hats deserve a
whole letter to themselves and will have

are but half as many ribs as there have
been. One of green silk has II ruffles of
white silk null, each an inch wide, overlap

is Of green, blue and yellow plaid, with
rows of white lace insertion sewed on to
form another plaid. All around is deep
founoe Of yellow silk null with tucks
and Spanish heading And that is by no
means the worst.
The new straw hats for ordinary wear
are made of rough braids. There are
dozens of pretty shapes, mostly the turban
variety. These turbans make one think
Of the ugly round hats in vogue when
hoopskirts and chignons were worn, but
they have some saving grace in the way
of trimming. There Is large number Of
straw alpines In rough and smooth braids
and In very light colors There are sailor
shapes, too, of milan and leghorn as we'll

hat or turban Is dipped in front, rolled
high at the sides and the crown Is literally
covered with lovely spring blossoms min
gled with loops OF wire gauze ribbons.

II there is any bandsomer or richer ma
teriel than a new silken fabric now offer
ed, have never seen II. 1t Is a mingling
Of all other silks and the consequent pro-
duction Of a superb piece Of goods. There
are several color combinations Of this,new
silk, so that all tastes may be suited, but
the loveliest one Is where electric blue and
silvery white are united In one perfect
fect picture.
This silk has been woven 40 Inches wide
so that the new two piece skirt can be out
from It, leaving the stripes to meet in
front In V shaped design. 10 is a heavy
corded sioilienne weave, with alternate
three inch stripes of heavy satin. The satin
weave is the electric blue Tho alternate
stripes are white, with q rich moire thrown
over them. The MORE In some lights hints
Of the blue and sometimes the blue looks
nearly white, SO that altogether the surface
shows o subtle blending Of the two Faint
green and ivory, ivory and old rose and q
dozen other combinations Of color are
brought together in this beautiful silk,
which Is rich enough for coronation robe.
The intention is to have trains Of medi-
um length to all gowns made of this silk,
which could not find name for. 1t goes
without saying that no trimming is to be
put upon the skirt, but no restriction Is
placed on the amount that may be added

very pretty new tennis flannels, the great
er part having light gray or drab ground
work with bright stripes. The shepherd
plaids are In for long run. Gray with
canary, burned orange and gamboge, also
corn yellow, Is a favorite combination.
Coral pink, light heliotrope, mouse silver,
invisible green, q pinkish gray and old
rose are all among the newest oolors; so
are turquoise, pervenohe and pimpernel.

est, and think 1t will prove very popular.
Plaid Is produced In everything-silk, vel
vet. vslours, poplin, grenadine, gauze and
bareges and even In the cottons The
ginghams show the effect of the rage for
plaids, for, though they are nearly al
ways In plaided designs they are Of a
kind entirely different from the regular
plaids found In other goods.
The best ginghams leave very little to
choose between them and the silks In
point Of appearance. There are some new
cotton mixed taffetas in light colors. They
are very pleasing to see and to feel. They
are washable Some Of them are woven
with a silken gloss and others are dull
surfaced. There are some very pretty thin
oottons in faint colors with small checks
outlined in silk threads In different colors
Wool and cotton are also blended In other
very pretty goods for everyday wear. This
Is also In fine checks and plaids. In fact
almost everything In the cotton and wool
weaves and most Of the rest have checks
or plaids.
The lawns, dimities, plumetls, organ
dies, batistes and peroales are printed in
dainty floral designs, for which we should
be duly thankful, as they refresh the eye.
Nothing could be more delicate or lovely
than these thin and fllmy fabrics. They
are not expensive-indeed one wonders
how all that beauty can be provided and
sold SO oheaply.
The pin and coin dotted swisses will be
great favorites and for them lace and rib
bon are the proper trimming. The fine
lawns and linen batistes are exquisite
when well designed and not very expen-
sive.

stretched to meet it, is long, narrow
strip of land fringed with islands. 1t is
the width and length of this strip which
are in dispute.
The British, by the simple process of
Issuing map on which the Canadian
government has put its seal of approval,
propose to grab big slice of this strip
which has so lately come to be of such
Importance. 1t is an old British trick.
That same map grabbing game has been
played by the same fellows all round
the world. 1t has won III Africa time
and again. 1t is the same game against
which Venezuela made such vigorous
protest. How it will succeed in Alaska
remains to be seen.
The Canadians have recently issued a
new map of British Columbia in which
our strip of southern Alaska coast ap-
pears to have shrunk, like flannel shirt
in the hands Of poor laundress We
had always figured that this strip ex-
tended as far south as Portland canal
and was 80 miles wide, the boundary
line following the indentations Of the
coast. But this new Canadian map
shows that the boundary line leaves the
mainland at Cleveland peninsula, far
north of Portland canal, and from Mount
st. Elias follows the coast closely, leav-
ing us only narrow stripof beach here
and there.
By this new claim the Canadians seek
10 grab such important parts of south
ern Alaska as juneau, the metropolis of
the territory; a large part Of Douglass
island, including Douglass City and the
famous Treadwell gold mines; Glacier
bay and Muir glacier, the starting
points Dyea and Skagguay, the lower
part Of Lake Lindeman and all three
OF the passes.
Not only do the mspmakers make
this claim, but the Canadians them
selves insist upon it. The chambers OF
commerce of British Columbia recently

parallel to the winding Of the coast and
30 miles from it. In 1884, however,
one of the Canadian maps showed a
marked DETECTION of this line at its
south end. Instead Of passing up Port
land channel the Canadian map showed
the boundary as passing up the Benin
canal, an arm Of the sea 60 or 70 miles
west Of Portland channel, this change
having been made on the bare assertion
that the words Portland canal" as in.
serted, were erroneous.
There are three facts which go to
show that this map was incorrect. In
the first place, the British admiralty,
when surveying the northern limit of
the British Columbian possessions of
1868, surveyed Portland canal and not
Benin canal and thus by implication ad.
mitted this canal to be the boundary
line; second, the region now claimed
by British Columbia was at that time
occupied as military post of the Unit.
ed States without objection or protest
on the part Of British Columbia; third,
Annette island, in this region, was, by
act of congress, four years ago set
apart as a reservation for the use of
the Metlakahtla Indians.
Another change was made at Lynn
canal, the northernmost extension of
the Alexander archipelago, which runs
north of juneau and is the starting
point for the gold district on the Dyea
and Skagguay routes. II the official
Canadian map of 1884 carried the bound
ary line around this canal, another
Canadian map three years later carried
the line across the head of the canal in
such manner as to throw its headwa-
ters into this rich territory.
