JUNEAU, May 26, 1890.

arrived here on the afternoon Of the 23rd. Al that time 1t was raining.
 p S.-lt Is still raining, but old'timers say there are apt to be a few days of dry weather and possibly a small amount Of sunshine during the poStenor end of Au' gust.
 To many of ny light and airy dispo' siti0n q quote from Ruins to Let" slgns) lt Is quite a change to come from Skag- way, with her long. broad and level streets. pure ozone and general captivating appearance, O Juneau, where the longest street does not run to exceed block and a half in any one direction. In the way Of short and very narrow streets, Juneau puts me In mind of St. Augustine, Fla, where the streets were made n.uow as a matter of economy. One street lamp is intended to illum mate both sides of the thorough fare.
 juneau has many good features. She has a fine water system, the water being used principally for "chasers." It Is also a fine place to sleep, as arly morning traf' hc does not disturb the slumberer. As d whole, Juneau Is all right, but | am will ing to leave h:r delights to her citizens lt Is apparent to me that belong further up the canal.
 Thus far ut little progress has been made in the U. $. court. Not more than half of the jurors summoned responded, but those who falle II 10 respond after being served had better emigrate, as Judge John son has fire in both his optics.
 The Skagway lawyers here have made a record for themselves with the court by having all cases in which they are interest cd ready for trial, while the Juneau law yers in the majority Of cases have asked for eontinuanees. This may be accounted for by the fact that solo is a very popular game here.
 It now looks as though the civil docket will be cleared up here this week, as there are but few cases ready for trial. lt may take a week or ten dsSlionger to dispose of the criminal dOcket. aftef which the court will adjourn to Skagway: Up to the present time the following civil cases have been set for hearing at Skagway:
 E. G. DeNouon vs. ]. c. Cosslett and E. Valentine; trial at Skagway.

 lt Is possible that there will be several other cases heard at Skagwav, but it Is moi likely that court will convene there before the Sth of June, possibly few days later
 FOR LIQUOR LICENSES.
 Regarding the matter of liquor license had a long conversation with Judge John son today. He advises that an election b; held, the applicants for licenses to bear th' expense of same, and that, even should full vote not be polled, an estimate of tn, sentiment of the people may be formet from result of such election, and that lf | fair majority favOrs the issuing of license: such licenses will be ordered issued. Al election has already been held at Sltka, a which 24o votes were boiled. o of whlel were favorable to the granting of license The forty opposing voits were drumme' up by the wife of Sitka missionary Juneau will hold her license election tomor row, Friday. There is no excitement owe the matter, and the indications are that light vote will be boiled. In conversation with me today Judg Johnson said he would not ask that eenSu , be taken, but that both Juneau and Skag way will be placed in the rsoo pOpulatio class.
 Judge Johnson is hopeful that eonsen to the Issuing of licenses will be given b the people, thus doing away with the nc
