ON A TUG.
The News Man Is Shown Through the Tyee. A Powerful VesseI--Up for the Seattle.

The News Man Is Shown Through the Tyee.
 A Powerful VesseI--Up for the Seattle.
 We met Judge Vim and Capt. c. T. Bailey in duncan last Thursday. There is great dissimilarity in their occupa- tions, one being lawyer, the other sea captain, but as men, they are both rattling good fellows. After certain amount of visiting the party disband- ed, the Judge probably going in search of some unsuspecting, unsophisticated client, while Capt. and the News man started to look over the Tyee.
 When the owners of the Seattle heard of her bad luck, the Tyee was sent up to tow the unfortunate vessel to the dry dock at Quartermaster Harbor, which is located on Vashon Island between Tacoma and Seattle.
 Of course they sent a good boat, and the right kind of a man to command her. Everybody knows that the Tyee ! is one of the best tugs on the Pacific coast, but that does not give you any idea of the powerful qualities of the vessel. When the News man boarded the Tyee she lay beside the City of Se- attle, and was waiting for the order to pull out for the south.
 The Tyee is what one would call a large sized tug. There isn't much of her above water but think of drawing eighteen feet and she has propeller eleven feet in diameter. This wheel makes about D revolutions every min ute which takes her through the water at the rate of from ten to twelve miles an hour. Her ponderous engines were made for power more than for speed. 1 Whether the Tyee ever got hold of any thing she could not pull we don't know. The craft is supplied with every conven- fence, including electric lights also a machine shop where any light repairs can be made. The gally and dining rooms are models of neatness while the officers and seamen's quarters are all that can be desired. This little boat carries crew of nine men.
 Capt. Baily came to Juneau doubly prepared, for he had extra hawsers on the boat. One of these was 5 in. steel wire of more than 15O fathoms each in length. One Manila hawser weighes over two tons and has never been used.

Gen. riedrich.

Gen. Friedrich the district attorney is under fire, charges having been pre- ferred against him at Washington, the exact nature of which are not made public, or at least, have not reached the News office. We can therefore speak only of him as an official, and as such, he has been honest, earnest, able and sincere.
 A public prosecutor who does his duty is certain to arouse much antago- nism against himself, but it will do him no harm. Good, honest, faithful work will receive the proper credit in the long run. The manner in which the district attorney discharged the duties of the office has been perfectly satisfac- tory to the people of Douglas Island and we believe the same may be said of Alaska in it's entirety.
 An expression of some of our busi- ness men relating to the standing of Gen. Friedrich may be interesting to our readers and this is what they say:
 A. w. Corbus, Supt. of the Treadweu mines: q think Gen. Friedrich is the best district attorney we have ever had. The manner in which he has discharged the duties of the office so far as I have been able to ascertain has been perfect Iy satisfactory to the people,"
 Mir. Willis chief clerk Treadwe1 store: ''In my opinion, Gen. Friedrich is all right. believe he is being persecuted by the special agent who preferred charges against him."
 Mir. P. H. Fox:
 "Gen. Friedrich is all right. I am surprised that fight should be made against man with such good official record"
 Postmaster Stubbins;
 q am with the General in this great fight"
 Frank Bach:
 "I think Gen. Friedrich is all right. He is capable and efficient. I have no sympathy with the fight that is made against him"
 MT. Lindstrom:
 'AIl have heard concerning the man was in his favor"
 Dennis Milan;
 "Gen. Friedrich seems to have given universal satisfaction. The people are with him."
 Judge Howell:
 q am with the General in this fight against him."
 John Beard:
 "A years trial of Gen. Friedrich has shown him to be an energetic, compe- tent man."
 Henry Elliott the Druggist:
 q am in hearty accord with the pub, lie sentiment on Douglas Island which is with Gen. Friedrich"
 The News man saw number of others and in every instance the expression of opinion was favorable to the district attorney.

He intends to give regular family show in Juneau which will be enjoyed by the people of Douglas Island as well as Juneau.
 The Rev. Father Rene of Juneau was in the city Thursday. Father Rene is not ouly liked for his christian virtues, but he is also agenial, pleasant gentle man to meet. He has entire charge of the Catholic missionary work in Alas ka and the northwest and will make a trip to the Cape Nome Country this year where the senior editor hopes to meet him.

The Kaufman Bros. are strictly up to date in the mercantile line. Mir. Kaufman told the writer just before he left that their spring stock will be tho finest ever brought to Alaska.
 School director Willis informs the News man that there is a vacation in the Mexican school and that it will re. open on the 18th of this month. This is the first term for the teacher Miss MacAvoy, and she has given the best of satisfaction. The school matters are closely looked after by the school board down there, which consists of Messrs. Willis and Mackie.
 It is intimated that the census of Gu ba will show a larger population in the island than was expected. Estimates from careful authorities on the ground put the number of inhabitants at about 100000, which is 29O,OOO or 3OO,OOOt more than has been commonly suppos- ed. Another fact which will cause gen eral surprise is that the proportion of negroes in the island is found to be much smaller than has been imagined. The ratio, it is now believed, will be found much below that in Mississippi, South Carolina and Louisiana. The race problem in Cuba, it is clear, will never be as serious as many persons have anticipated.

These hand some girls all joined the organization and pleasant hour was spent in the practice of both old and new music. We are very much in need of help in the bass and tenor parts and would urge upon those gentlemen who can sing, to come out and join us. We promise both a pleasant and profitable time. The chorus will meet regularly on Tuesday evening with Mrs. c. A. Hopp, on Second street. We extend a general invitation to all singers to join us, with view of making this evening in the week one of enjoyment both in musical and social way.

news from South Africa this morning
was OF the most depressing character. It
seemed not improbable that Ladysmith
