Famous Fast Steamer at Last
 Arrives.
III IS REALLY PALATIAL
Her Interior Accommodation Said To Be Superior to Anything on the Run--Her First Voyage Suc- cess So Far as the Trip Is Concern ed and the Number of Passengers and Amount of Freight

The steamer Dolphin, that we have heard so mach of, that made the voyage from New York around the Horn, that was rettted at Seattle for passenger aecommo- datlons at an expense placed at $40, ,ooo, came in at half past six last evening She is fitted up, as to her state rooms on mod ern style, and she did make record trip from Juneau to this port, namely, seven hours. Also she has an experienced cap tain on board who is we'll acquainted with these waters and is we'll known to passen- gers in the person of Captain O'Brien, and he has with him as pilot Captain Roberts, who is one of the owners of the vessel. The two were schoolfellows together and and are still the most devoted ot ebums. These ehums are pledged to make the Jest running time on this boat that can be made. They called at Vancouver and at ketchikan, and at other places, but the whole running time was only g hours.
 7- The steamer brought I73 passengers and 4so tons of freight. Of the latter there were I4s tons for oss-Higgins x Co.,, but more precious freight was the I73 passengers. Among these were the cele- brated klondiker Joe Barrett and his fam fly, Mr., Mrs. and Miss Higgins, of the Ross-Higgins Co.,, the redoubtable Jim Wardner, who has several towns named after him and does'nt own one, and many others who are equally familiar to Skag- way people.
 Bosworth X Aggers had 20 tons on the new vessel. the Klondke Trading Co. IS tons; and the N. A. T. X r. Co.,, Of Daw- son, who are now shipping all their freight this way, so tons. The remainder were individual shipments for the interior, In which that of Joe Barrett was prominent figure.

Pacific railroad. The judicial party num- bered twelve. Mckenzie was the manager looking after transportation and hotel ac commOdations. For Judge Moves and his immediate party Mckenzie procured passes on the Senator from Seattle to Nome and for the other he obtained half rates.
 "All went cn the same steamer in the early part of July. We have found that before leaving Seattle Mckenzie said he was going tu take charge of number of mines in Nome and would need at least 100 men on his arrival there
 A Minneapolis dispatch says Alexander Mckenzie is known in the northwest as a New York political boss and capitalistic promoter who for ten years pasthas farmed North Dakota politics. He never fails to be on hand at caucus and conventions and legislative sessions although New York claims him between times.
 Moves stands high in Minnesota rebub- lcan politics and was prominent in local club circles and socially. No charges were ever made against him here in pro fessiona or business way.

In five cases involving the title to and possession of the most valuable mining claims in Nome, United States Circuit Judge W. w. Morrow has reversed the recently appointed District Judge Moves has removed the receiver Alexander Nc kenzle, has granted an appeal from the order appointing the receiver and has d- rected that until the matters at issue are decided there shall be no interference or the part of the court In Alaska or its ap' pointees.
 Nor is this all for the attorneys repre- senting the men who applied to Judge Morrow for these orders have begun tt work on proceedings having for their ob object the impeachment of Judge Moves.
 The story behind all these legal orders is an extraordinary one from whatever point of view it is regarded. The five cases are entitled thus:
 Robert Chipps vs. Jafet Lindeberg, Dirk O. Lindblom and John Byrnteson, of the Pioneer Mining Company.
 L.. F. Melsing, H. L. Blake, D. B. Libby w. T. Hume and O. Hubbard ys. John F. Tornanses,
 O. Jose Comtose vS. P, H. Anderson.
 Herbert w. Webster vs. Nickel J. Nackkela, Ole Klemetsen and Ole P. Hatta.
 Henry Rogers vs. William II. Kjell- mann.
 The questions involved apparently in each case are purely those of priority of right as lOcatorS, and the right of persons not citizens of the United States to take up claims under the laws of Alaska, but if the statements made by the attorneys who appeared before Judge Morrow are to be taken as a correct presentation of the facts says the San Francisco Examiner, there has been an organized attempt of schem- ing politicians and a judge of their own i choosing to put through frauds astounding in their nature and gigantic in conception, involving property worth millions. In substantiation of his charge of col fusion against the court MT. Branstan, one of the attorneys said to the Examiner: "The mortgage on Moves home was paid off. His current bills were paid and his law library was expressed in the name of Alexander Mckenzie to Seattle by the Northern Pacific Express in boxes marked "Diamond D." Mckenzie obtained half rltes, as he had been at one time receiver ot the Dakota division of the Northern

The four year old child of Mrs. An drew Anderson died on board the Lightning on it's last trip between Daw- son and White Horse. The authorities at the latter place refused to issue a certificate of death until the physician who treated the child at Dawson could be heard from, so the mother and dead child were compelled to remain at that place.

SECOND SESSION
 OF LABOR COUNCIL
Trouble Between MachinistS and
 l. I. U. Taken Up.
WILSON MAKES HIS REPORT
An Appropriation of $25O Was Made in Addition to the $500 Already Raised to Defend the Bull
 Pen" Miners

Washington, March 20.-At the second days session of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, D. Doug las Wilson, yice-president of the Machin- ists International Association, made a re- port regarding the dispute existing between the machinists and their employers of Chi cago, Columbus Cleveland and other places The situation was presented in comprehensive form, indicating. the report said, the unfair attitude of the employers in insisting that the men should first re- turn to work before matters in dispute should be submitted to arbitration. Assur- ances of assistance within the powers of the federation were given.
 The dispute between the Machlnists In- ternational Association and the Interna- tional Typographical Union was taken up and with view of adjusting the matter a committee of three was appointed to meet like committees of both organizations in the near future.
 The question of jurisdiction between the Brewery Workmens National Union and the International Brotherhood of Station ary Bremen was decided by holding that all organiza tions now in existence and att tached to the former organization should maintain their present status, but that in future all new unions formed shall become part of the latter international organization and that this should apply equally so to brewery engineers.
 An appropriation of $250 was made, in ad- dition to the $500 already appropriated, for the legal defense of the miners imprisoned in the ''bull pen in Idaho. It was further decided that an investigation be conducted supplementary to the investigation now be- ing conducted by the military affairs com mittee of the house of representatives, in regard to the violation of the right of the citizens of Idaho.
 A subcommittee of the executive council reported having examined the accounts and the affairs of the officers, showing that there were now 5f0 volunteer organizations and fifteen salaried organizers directly em- ployed by the American Federation of La- bor, who are doing excellent work. This does not include the organizers of the na- tional and international unions. It was shown that for the past five months the national and international unions had is- sued charters to 73 local unions
 During the day the executive council took a recess and visited the chairman of the committee on labor of the house of repre- sentatves, Hon. John Gardiner. and other members of congress, regarding the eight hour bill and prison bill now pending. An interview of an hour was had with Speak CT Henderson, when the merits of the eight hour bill, anti-injunction bill, and the pris- on labor bill were gone into, and request was made for a day to set aside soon for the considera ton of these bills.

RUNNING SCRAP
 IN KANSAS CITY
Republican CanvasserS Are Run Out of Registration Room
 With a Gun

Kansas City, Mo-, March 20.-A dozen shots were exchanged and a lively sprint ing match occurred in the north end today when three republican canvassers attempt ed to investigate alleged fraudulent regis tration from the rooming house above Election Judge John Pryor's saloon, at 55S Walnut street. Pryor resented the request for information and opened fire, chasing his callers into the street, where a fusilade of ten minutes duration ensued. No blood was spilled.
 In the primaries last week Pryor acted as one of the judges in the Second ward in the Tenderloin district. Claims of fraudulent registration had been made, and for two days canvassers have been inves tgating the charges. Today Joe Morris, Edwin A. Scroggins and w. W. Noland. republican canvassers, with two newspaper reporters, entered Pryor's place to verify the registration of twenty-two men desig- hated as living in the rooming house kept by Pryor. Pryor refused ito aid the can vassers, and instead drew revolver and started for Scroggins, who had taken the judge to task at the primary because of alleged irregularities. Scroggins, followed by Noland, dashed into the street. while Canvasser Morris covered Phil McCrary, Pryor's partner, who had drawn a revol- yer. While Morris kept MeCrary quiet in- side the saloon, behind the bar of which dozen loungers sought cover, Pryor, Scrog- gins and Noland emptied their revolvers without effect at each other in the street. Their ammunition spent, Scroggins and Mo- land started for the police station, and Pryor returned to the saloon. pushing the reporters into the street and threatening to shoot.

INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS
Great Britain Taking Advantage of Lull
 in Operations

London, March 2l, 450 a. m.-While there | is lull in the military operations, the pres ent surroundings of the war show interest ing developments The colonial office has telegraphed to Capetown the text of the proclamation concerning the destruction of property. This will not be published in Lon don until after its promulgation in South Africa, but it is known 1t will convey an intimation that any wanton destruction of British property during the war will be re- garded as warrantng claim for compensa- fion, and as justifying levy upon private property should the resources of the Trans vaal republic properly prove inadequate.
 The fact that the proclamation is issued by the colonial office, Is regarded as sig nificant indicat ton that the republics will be administered as crown colonies In this connection it is understood that the lead CTS of the opposition in parliament now ad- init that no other settlement Is possible since the republics insist upon their de- mand for absolute independence. In view of this the effort of the liberals will be con- fined to securing in the settlement the best settlement of the Dutch population, includ- ing security against their disfranchise- ment.
 It is becoming regarded as quite settled matter that should the war be ended, as is now hoped, before June, the government will dissolve parliament and appeal to the country on the basis or a successtul ooulh African policy. Should the war drag on dissolution will not be proposed until next spring. In any event. one of the foremost blanks of the government platform will be army reorganization.
 There is no further information as to the movements of Sir Alfred Miner It is re- ga-ded as certain, however that he has gone to Bloemfonteln to arrange for the temporary administration of the Free
 State.
 MT Steyn's reply to Lord Roberts. charg- ing the misuse of the flags of truce, Is com mented upon as mpertinent and ridiculous. and Lord Roberts course in closing a use less discussion is commended as wise
 Indications from Natal seem to show that General Bullers forward movement will not be long delayed. The government has de- cided that Major General Sir Frederick Car rington shall command a colonial force of five thousand, including the 2.500 men MT. Chamberlain asked from Australia.
