DREW -BUNYAN CA>E.
The LRIter Pays Fine of Ftfty Doi-
 lars and Smiles.

One week ago tomorrow this usually placid city was shaken from center to cir. conference with the report that blood. curdlng, ven-freezlng murder had been attempted. Investigation on the part of the DAILY ALASKAN at that time went to show that two men, named respectively Joe Bunyan and Ed. Drew, had indulged in that sacred right of all free born or nat uralized American citizens, namely, they differed. They not only differed but, in Georgia parlance, "they done serapped." In the mix-up Bunyan's face Is said to have been used by Drew as a cuspidor.
 Evidently Bunyan then thought of the old motto: He who would expect to rate as a gentleman, must not expeotorate in my face" In view of these circumstances and conditions Bunvan is alleged to have ripped a glass pitcher around Drew's neck in manner not observed by loving m thers or teachers of kindergarten schools. Later Drew went outside the building and passed few rocks through glass door at Bunyan, when the latter reclprocated by rushing out with hatehet and attempting to touch Drew on the eranium in no en. dearing terms. He missed fire on this. for tunately. As a result Drew went to hos pita and Bunyan went to jail.
 Yesterday afternoon was the time set for the trial of the prisoner, who appeared with bli nd smile. Drew appeared with his head in a sling. But the tnal was a brief affair, much to the ehagrin of few dozen scandal mongers who had eongregat' ed in Judge Sehlbrede's office, expecting to hear and witness rare treat. Lawyers J. G. Price and C. s. Blaekett appeared respectively in behalf of the common wealth and defendant The charge of assault with deadly weapon" was withdrawn, being substituted with that of assault and battery" To the latter the prisoner pleaded guilty and the Judge i'm posed fine of $50 and costs. amounting In all to s62, which was paid.
 Justice was appeased and drew's head ls r3pidlv healing.

 Mr. Scott examined the American gold piece critically, satisfied himself it was a pufs coin. and SuppreSSing an inclination to smile enquired the name of the wise com mer,ial Solomon who had pronounced it "Canadian money." She gave him the name.

From Puget Sound and British Colum- bIa ports to Dawson, sS2 per head in lots of not less than fourteen head, or car load.
 Considering that these rates are about ene-half the charges that were in effect during isoS should be gratifying to many large and small shippers as lt will give the small outftter a chance to ship his goods into the interior and compete with the larger companies. The public Is appreei- atlng this fact for it Is already contracting with the White Pass & Yukon railroad 10 send its freight forward this way, for the reason that the company guarantees deliv' cry during the early season of navigation. It Is now a recognized fact that there are 5000 tons of freight tied up on the lower Yukon which left Puget Sound and British Columbia ports early in the season of 'oS, and the chances are slim that the majority of these shipments will ever reach their destination as there is great danger Of many of the boats being wrecked when the leo goes out. Another reason that Skag' way should feel elated over the fact that the great majority of freight and pasSen gers will go into the interior ths way in future is that in most cases men in charge accompany the shipments and will spend money freely while arranging to have their goods transported via the differ ent steamer connections.

Col. c. J. Eddy, of the c. M.
 & St. P. in Skagway.
MAKES A FLYING VISIT
An Energetic Railroad Man Who Comes Co See Where All the Alas ka Business Hauied by Ills Road Comes To VIII Return Again Next Summer.

Col. C. ]. Eddy, general agent of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, with headquarters in Portland, Ore., made a flying visit to Skagway, arriving on the Rosalle and leaving again on the same steamer in the evening. Colonel Eddy came in the interest of hlS road and 10 see for himself the advantages possessed by Skagway. What he did see exceeded his anticipatlons. He came to Alaska about seven years ago, before Skagway was in existence, and his steamer only got as far as Chilkoot inlet. He expressed himself as surprised at everything he saw here. He said:
 "l certainly never expected to find eivl- ization advanced to tbe point you have lt here: Electric light; water power, tele- phone and what'not. These surprise one. Then the extent of your business interests. Immense stocks of merchandise for which special warehouses are necessary, the large number of extensive business houses, and all doing a large business, these are the things that have more than surprised me, and cert inly go away with very dii- ferent opinion of Skagwav and its poSsi- billties than ever had before. lt has been an educational trip throughout, and shall have a great deal to say to our people whei get back, for shall be in q eondi' ton to speak intelligentlv from personal observation and not iron hearsav.
 'Skagway is now known all over the world and l was anxious to see what it looked like and its possibilities. The rail road has mad- vcur town permanenov and that of itself IS great indueement to capital, which IS sure to find its way here in course of time. One of these enter priSeS should be a large frst-elass hotel. well built and less on the shack order. Such hotel would be a great advertise ment to the town, especially for tourists. That will all come, however. Skagwav up to the time of the completion of the railroad may be said to have been experi' mental. That, however. is past, and you want permanent structures in keeping with your permanent town.
 "Our company has kept track of Alaska affairs for the reason that last year our road hauled an immense amount of Alas kan business, both passengers and freight: As soon as the KlondIke excitement broke out 1 opened an office In Seattle. and it proved a profitable move. We now handle much of the Alaska trade and do not pro- pose 10 lose any of it."
 Colonel Eddy has promised to return 10 Skagway win his wife in July and will stay long enough to take short trip into the Interior.

Fresh Msa, for a,lin.

Geo. H. Prescott. agent of N. P. Shaw, who came up from Victoria several days ago, left for Bennett yesterday. He is going to build q large sIaughterhouse at Bennett, to which the N. P, Shaw Com panv, of Victoria, will ship live stock. This company has the contract for supply ing fresh meat to the Pacific Contract Company, and with the coming warm weather 1t was deemed best to slaughter the beef at Bennett. Mr. Prescott thinks a good market In the Atlin country will be secured also in supplying all the boats on the upper river run.

Masonic Lodge Not Feasible.

MeSSrS. Lokowitz, Estes, Thatcher,
 Manly and Sleil, the committee on Mason ie organization appointed about a month ago by the Masons of Skagway, held a special meeting last evening and discussed at length the advisabllitv of organizing a Masonic lodge. The results were not fla
 sorable to such an organization, the con census of opinion being that conditions in Skagway were n sufficiently settled to insure the permaneney of a Masonic lodge, The population was still too much of q floating character and 1t would be difficult to induce Masons to send for their demits to put them in a Skagway lodge. There were also SO many difficulties in the way of getting charter and expenses connect ed with the installation of officers, that for the present 1t was deemed best to reeom- mend adversely to the plan. lt was sug' gested that a Masonic club might be regu- larly organized and maintained on social lines, and these several views will be rec commended at meeting Of the Masons 10 be held Friday evening, May Io, In Estes dancing hall On Main street near Johnson

the gold piece in his hand, concluded that there was one man in Skagway whose business aeumen would never drive him to an insane asylum, and that he had com panion in a woman fully equal to him in point of discenment. The joke comes in the fact that Canada issues no gold coin of any denomination.

FREIGHT MILL ALI
 COME ID SKAGNAY Through Traffic Arrange
 ments Made
TO ALL INFERIOR POINTS
From Puget sound ana ritish Coz IumbIa Ports wIth Reliable Steamship and steamboat Com- panIes, Including Upper Yukon and Understandable of Freight Hnd Passenger Rates.

General Mana CT Hawkins and General Traffic Manager Cray, of the White Pass & Yukon railroad, have entered into through traffic arrangements with a mum Der of reliable steamship companies operat' ing between Puget Sound and British Co lumbia ports and Skagwav, and reliable steamboatS plying on the Upper Yukon and lakes, to interchange freight and pas seneer traffic. This was done to meet the strong competition now being made by the steamers on the St. Michael run.
 During the season of 'oS the passenger rates ranged from s2so to s3so from Seattle to Dawson, and the freight rates were on an average of s3oo per ton between the same points. The through traffic arrange ments already mentioned will result in di- verting hundreds of ions of freight and many passengers away from St. Michael through Skagway, the only practical gate way into the interior Ot Alaska and British Columbia.

Christian Endeavor Convenro"

There is some talk among the members of the local Christian Endeavor Society about having a convention of all the Alas ka Endeavor Societies in Skagwav. There are societies at Juneau and Sitka. which, with the local body, would make quite a respectable gathering in convention. M. Reid, of the Y. NJ. C. A. and an earnest worker in the Christian Endeavor cause, thinks that the idea Is practical one and that it would do more to unite the young Christian people of Alaska than anything else. Judge Sehlbrede believes in the idea and Is willing to aid in any way to help along the scheme. Miss SehIbrede, presi- dent of the Skagwav Christian Endeavor, Is looking into the matter and will begin corresponding with the leaders of the work in Sitka and Juneau.

PASSENGER RATES.
FFVW NE1~TE EN''' " rhe nnssenrer rates are as follows:

The passenger rates are as follows:
 From Puget Sound and British CoIum- bia ports to Dawson, sI3s first class and sI27. 80 second class. ChllJren over 5 and under I2, half fare. Iso pounds of b'ggage free on each whole ticket and 7s on each half ticket.
 From Puget Sound and British Colum- bia ports to Atlin, s75 first class and s47.so second class. Children over and under I2, half fare. Iso pounds of baggage free on ,eacb whole ticke, and 7spcands on each half ticket.
 These rates will be strong inducements for passengers 10 come to Skagway and must necessarily greatly benefit the local merchants and hotel keepers, as it is well known fact that an argonaut going mo the interior has never been know n to come 10 Skagwav without spending some money. Considering that hotel keepers in Dutch Harbor are making great prepara- tlons this year to entertain prospective ar gonauts going into the interior via St. Michael, they will be sorelv disappointed before inc season is over when they learn from the outside world that the great bulk of the business has been turned to Skog- by the efforts or the White Pass & Yu' kon railroad.
 FREIGHT RATES.
 The freight rates scheduled are IS fol- lows, from Puget Sound and British Co., lumbla ports and Atlln:
 In lots of less than ten tons, SIoo per ton.

HOTEL MEN JUBILANT .
John White and Ed Bart
lette Secure Remaining
Two MiIlbury Licenses.

Millbury, May ga special meeting
of the selectmen was held this evening
and as predicted a few days ago in
The Spy, the two remaining licenses
were granted to E. r. Bartlette & Co.
to sell liquor at the St. Charles hotel,
in Bramanville, and to John M. White
at the Tourtelotte House, on Riverlin
street.
The applications dropped were those
of Edward Roach, for first class Ii
cense in the Dueharme building, on
North Main street, and Joseph J. Scott,
to do business on South Main street.
No other important business was acted
upon at the meeting.
The Worcester road was blockaded
this evening for fully an hour on ac-
count of the work of repairing the
TRACKS of the Worcester and Suburban
road. The dirt from the track is thrown
out into the centre. of the road, and to
add to the work, coal ashes are
dumped in the road, leaving the road
only nine feet in width for a distance
of a half mile. Expressman Martin
Roach was unable to get past the spot
this evening without an accident. The
wheels on one side of his heavy express
were up on the pile of dirt, while the
opposite ones were in the gutter, caus-
ing the king pin to pull out letting the
load onto the ground.

Rev. f. L. Phalen In
vited to Passionate
of Unity.
AN ABLE PREACHER.
During Spanish War Was
Chaplain of New Hamp-
shire Regiment.

At largely attended parish meeting
Of the Church Of the Unity. last night.
B. W. Chads, chairman Of the parish
committee. was authorized to extend a
can OF the parish to Rev. Frank Lowe
Phalen of Concord, n. H, TO the pas
torate of the church. The details of the
ministers coming We're left to the par
ish committee.
Rev Mr.. Phalen preached at the
Church of Unity about six weeks ago
and created a strong impression He
has had a remarkably successful pas
torate at Concord, where he has been
located since 1892, succeeding at that
time Rev. Bradley Gilman, now OF
Springfield, a brother of DR.. Warren
Gilman of Worcester.
A year ago, when the First New
Hampshire national guard was desig-
mated as part of New Hampshire's
quota for the war with Spain, Rev.
Mr.. Phalen volunteered as chaplain
when the regular chaplain was pre-
vented from responding to the call. He
was presented with horse, trappings
and uniform by his people, who were
much attached to him. He accompanied
the regiment to Chickamauga, and was
an efficient officer. He was taken i'll
with dysentery and invalided home and
mustered out before the return of the
regiment. He was ordained in 1856.
The members of The parish consider
themselves fortunate in securing Mr.
Phalen, and are confident he will prove
an able successor to Rev. Calvin Steb-
bins.
