the present government Of the Dominion would like to have SS little said about as possible. Buf it Is hard for one having the interests ef his country at heart to keep his mouth closed In regard to such h. iquItOus proceedings and Sir Hilbert TuP- per, son Of the diplomatic leader of the conservative party in Canada, has fell im> pelled to express his opinion on the siiua- tlon.
 Sir Hilbert boldly says in a public gathering that it is lucky times have changed, for there was time when men who hli done what lleutenant-governor MSlunss and Joe Martin had done. "would have been hanged, drawn and quarteret." !" He thought that all conservatives, liberals, eolonistS and Semlin followers should unite fer the good of the country, in the effort to ouSt from power both Martin and MclnneS.

Judging from th- repeated cases of extensive robberies being reported at one of the leading hotels ol Skagway, the Unite States marshal at that point does not seem able to cope with the sit> uation. As the United States govern ment persists in refusing municipal rights in Alaska, it only remains for the citizens to revive their old grim con mittee of loo and take summary steps to stamp out the rising tendency to outlawry. ry.-Dawson Daily News.

About fifteen minutes OF twelve Friday
evening, Jan. 18th, the night Waterman
discovered fire in the vicinity of the stuff
ling room in the tannery. At first he
thought that be might be able to extin-
guish the flames and accordingly first
tried to fight the fire before giving the
alarm but the flames gained such rapid
headway that he soon saw the futility Of
his efforts and blew the alarm whistle.
This was. aboHt the hour OF midnight.
Shortly before this some people passing
Through the village saw the flames and
mad given the alarm 90 the street and a
line OF hose had been laid to the building
before the whistle blew. The building
was OF very intiammab BILE nature as il had
been constructed many years and was
thoroughly soaked in that portion with
the oil used IN filing the leather and the
flames spread rapidly so that in less than
nfteen minutes the whole center of the
building was a mass OF flames and the ef-
forts OF the fire department could only be
directed toward saving the surrounding
buildings. There Was very little wind and
the snow OF the night before was on the
roofs Of the buildings, which facts were
valuable factors in aiding the department
The main points OF the danger were the
shoe shop, about 40 feet north; the Fassett
block scross the track and the hide house
about Is feet south, ell OF which were
saved. Connections were made with the
MIGRANTS by the express building and in
front Of Moody store.
In less than one hour from the giving OF
the alarm the danger to the other build
tngs was over and the tannery buildings
we're mass Of ruins.
