PRoTECT our CIrY.

A member Of the New Castle county
bar calls our attention to the following
article which appeared in the Chester
Morning Republican yesterday:
There is but little fear in this city
that the epidemic of yellow fever
which Is now raging at Hampton
Roads will be carried to Chester and
spread The fact that the Quarantine
Station has been moved from Essing-
ton down the river 60 Marcus Hook,
has made the residents of this city
feel much more secure as it entirely
prevents any vessel which may be in
fected from passing up the river and.
If placed under quarantine II will be
some miles below Chester, and not
above, as 1t was in former years The
change was a good one and its benefits
can be appreciated.
That is all very well for Chester;
but what of Wilmington? All Of these
infected steamers pass our city with
the infection aboard and without any
but the most ordinary precautions,
There is nothing to prevent them from
anchoring and sending boatload OF
men ashore to mingle with our people
The excursion boats which ply be-
tween here and Philadelphia are com
PEELED to pass these infected craft
while they are proceeding up the river
or laying at anchor at Marcus Hook
If it was a good thing for Chester tc
have the quarantine removed from Es.
sington to Marcus Hook. It would be
equally good for Wilmington II it wer,
carried on down the river to a poinl
below Delaware City.
We have no desire to unnecessarily
alarm the people Of our city. but tn,
time has come when the local authori
ties have an excellent excuse for i'm
pressing upon the government the de

Join. the skaEway Contingent.

Jack A. Paine, who until recently was the Skagwav agent of the Chilkoot tram, has resigned that position and accepted the position of general agent of the Red Line Transportation Company with haadquart- CTS in Skagway. He has secured the office formerly occupied by the Pacific Clipper Line on Broadway which he will occupy while in town. He will have charge of the passenger and freight matters of the Red Line Company, which is connected with the White Pass & Yukon Railroad Company from the summit to Bennett. In speaking Of his new duties yesterday Mr. Paine said that stages, with aceommoda- tion for forty passengers and their baggage, will meet the early morning train daily at the summit. Passengers leaving Skagway in the morning will reach Bennett at 5 in the afternoon of the same day, stopping one hour at Log Cabin at noon for dinner. Returning the stages will leave Lake Ben nett at in the morning, connecting with the White Pass train at the summit and reach Skagway at 6:3o in the evening. The same noon.hour stop for dinner will be made at Log Cabin as on the trip to Bennett.
 Mr. Paine has had considerable experi- enee in the transportation service and will prove a valuable acquisition to Skagway'S contingent of transportation men. Ills was

Large Stocks Unable to En-
 ter Yukon District.
EFFORTS TO SELL IT
New Law Preventing Liquors Going to Dawson Caused Giut In Market at Bennett-Efforts said to He Making to Unload It in skagw.y.

The order of the Dominion government prohibiting the introduction of liquors into the Yukon district has tied up about s5o,ooo worth of liquors of all degrees at Bennett that were destined for Dawson City, and which were awaiting the open ing Of navigation. Some s2o,ooo worth of liquors belonged to Alec Mcdonald and his agents and the owners of all the liquors held at Bennett are trying to "unload" and get out, if possible, the original cost Of their preearlouS venture.
 It was reported recently that whiskey was so plentiful in Bennett that 1t had got down to 10 cents a glass. Even at this low price there were not men enough In and around Bennett to make much of an i'm presSion on so large stock, hence every effort is being made by the owners to find a market for it in the various camps, in- eluding the Atlin district.
 It has recently been reported that some of this liquor has been finding its way back into Skagway; in other worde, that 1t Is being smuggled back across the line to various parties in Skagwav. The U. s. customs officials here have been on the
 look out for 1t, but as the number of depu' ties Is limited lt Is practically impossible to head 1t off if any serious attempt Is made to smuggle 1t into town, for the req son that the cases could be readily dlsguls. ed by some outer covering and taken off at Camp I or some other station short of Skagway, where 1t Is next to impossible to have an officer.
 It is understood that one shipment of eleven cases and two kegs was made open Iy from Bennett recently and was reported to have been consigned to some party in Skagway. This came to the deputy col lector's ears, who made hastv trip to the summit, oniv to find that the liquor was consigned to Mir. Potts, proprietor of the Monte Carlo on the summit. He found the iauor in the railroad ware house, and as this warehouse was on alleged British territory he felt that he could not legally seize 1t. It would appear that his coming had been anticipated by the mounted po- lie, who are evidently standing in with Monte Carlo, for the United States officer found the warehouse guarded by three members of the mounted police, each wear ing side arms. Being Canadian liquor on alleged Canadian territory, the liqunrs were left alone. A stricter watch. how ever, will be kept on freight coming down to Skagwav from the summit.

Cars Built In skagway.

The car shops of the White Pass & Yukon railroad haze just turned out two of the ten stock cars under construction, and one of them was brought down to the end of the Broadway track yesterday where its many good points were admired by the knowing ones. These were con- strueted under the supervision of Division Superintendent Whiting, who has charge of the shops The length of these cars are 33Il feet and are patterned after the regulation stock cars of the States.
 Superintendent Whiting has already turned out large number of cars since the shops were first opened, namely: Thirty three box cars, twenty flat cars. one snow plow and one Hanger. The men are now at work building wrecking or derrick eaf' The company now furnishes steady employ ment to fifteen men. In times of rush this number is increased to meet the demand. I
