Important Improvements To
 le Made in the Yukon.
CHANNEL TO BE FORMED
Dam To be Comstructed lM Lake Le Barge to COnfime Waters and do Away with Troublesome Shadows Engineers Now Here.

]. C. Tache, engineer in charge of the public works of the Dominion government in the Yukon basin, arrived in SkagwaV yesterday. He is direct from Ottawa, and announces important public works to be made in the Upper Yukon river They will be such works as will aid navigation and thus facilitate travel and general traf fic and increase the importance of the Skag- way gateway as route to the great in terior.
 It is announced by MT. Tache that this fall a dam will be built at the head of Lake Le Barge to conhne the waters from spreading over the shallow area there and coursng through several channels. 1t is expected that the water thus confined will of itself clear out the remaining channel, and so obviate dredging.
 At Five Fingers the passage will be fur ther improved by blasting out the rock and increasing the width of the channel.
 At Thirty Mile river, I5o boulders were removed last year and this work is to be resumed,

Ne Tells Of the Wonderful Sixty Day
Siege In pekln.

Or. Robert Coltman, IT,, wife
and six children arrived in La
unta Saturday evening after a
long, eventful journey from Pekin,
China. The Doctor relates many
interesting incidents regarding the
voyage, but that which holds the
closest attention OF his hearers is
the story OF the famous sixty day
siege Of all the foreigners in the
British legation, while awaiting
their liberation by the allied forces.
Upon this subject he spoke from
his fathers pulpit Sunday even
ing to an eager, attentive audience
which completely filled every avail
able inch Of space in the Presby-
terian church.
There was deathly stiffness as
he narrated how the six hundred
white men, four hundred white
women and children and about one
thousand coolies held the fort
against an army OF twenty thous-
and Boxers, assisted by the I'm
perial troops. AS the enemy broke
through one fortifcation, they
were confronted by another, and
still another, until foot by foot
they were being hemmed in closer
without communication with the
world, their little hospital filed to
overlooking with wounded and
nothing but horsehesh and rice to
eat. When the siege was lifted
there still remained a few mules
and ponies and several tons of rice
upon which they hoped to sustain
themselves until succor came or
they were overpowered by the
hordes surrounding them. He
paid the highest tribute to Ameri-
can women who worked indefati-
gably with their sewing machines
making sacks which were filled
with sand to resist the lombard
ment which was continuous from
the first day OF the siege Twenty
thousand sacks in all were made
English ladies were above such
work.
Great heroism was displayed by
all and only an unbounded faith in
God and their governments kept
them from giving up the struggle.
The speaker only sketched the
thrilling experiences Of that terri
able period, but promised if it
were possible to deliver lecture
here this week, when he would go
more into detail.
DR.. and Mrs. Coltman, Sr., are
beaming with happine SIS, and the
fact that the six grandchildren at
the Manse, who speak the pig-tail
language fluently, have inaugarated
Chinese as the court language
there, does not ruffle them at all.
Many souvenirs were brought back
by the returned missionary, who
has spent fifteen years among the
almond-eyed race, for which he
does not seem to have acquired
much love, and in fact sighted
several very unloveble traits pos
sessed by them. He criticises
Minister Conget for not having
more troops there sooner, and
keeping a stronger guard His
discourse was interesting and
should he lecture there is scarcely
hall in town that will hold the
crowd.

DEMOCRATS REACH DECISION.

Frankfort, Ky. February S.-The sd-
journment of the democratic legislature
at louisville today TO meet here Mon
day revives interest IN the political con-
test and promises to put an end to the

Outstanding has been reached between
the democrats and republicans OF the
senate whether Lieutenant Governor Mar
shall. republican, or President Pro TEN.

decision of the democrats to return TO

danger of a serious clash over the chair.

Governor Goebel IS preparing 4 defense

BECKHAM FILES HIS SUIT.
Asks Courts To Dust Taylor and De-
clare Him Governor.

Frankfort. Ky. February 1.-THE suit
of Beckham VS.. Taylor for the possession
of the office of governor was filed today
in the circuit court at frankfort. Up to a
late hour the sheriff had not succeeded IN
serving notice or Governor Taylor. and
the chances of his doing so did not seem
brilliant. as all visitors to the office Of the
governor or to the gubernatorial man.
sion were compelled to run a gauntlet of
guards. who were on the lookout for gen.
uemen with suspicious papers.
The petition in the suit holds that w.
S. Taylor is not the governor of the
state and that with an armed force hs
holds possession of the executive building.
1t alleges that he is drawing money with
out authority of law from the state treas
ury. pardoning convicts and doing other
things that are detrimental to the well
fare Of Hhe state.
The petition asks that the court enjoin
him from exercising any duties as chief
executive and from assuming any con-
troll whatever over the legislature. Appli-
cation for the injunction will be made on
Friday before Judge Cantrill at George
town.

Senator Depew Tells the Republican
Side of the Case.

New York. February 12-Chauncey Nj.
Depew presided over and delivered the
PRINCIPAL address to the fourteenth an
nual Lincoln dinner of tho Republican
club. held at Delmonico's tonight. The
dinner was attended by over three hum
dred members of the club and their
guests.
Senator Depew. before introducing the
first speaker. addressed the gathering. In
part, as follows:
"A student of the teachings OF Lincoln
will find instructive lessons applicable TO
the present conditions IN the state OF
Kentucky. The situation in the common
wealth brings emphatically to the front
one of the perils of our institutions. The
country is filled with horror, both at tho
murder of Mr.. Goebel and tho causes
which led to il.
The whole spirit and philosophy of
Lincoln's politics were the power Of tho
people.
MIR. Goebel prepared and had enacted
as election law which went by his name,
and whose avowed Objecl was to prevent
the people from having their Will unless
their votes We're in accordance with his
wishes. The opportunity for fraud upon
the ballot and violations Of the popular
Judgment was placed upon the statute
hooks of the commonwealth of Kentucky.
This crime against liberty and popular
government aroused such Indignation
among the Intelligent and honest voters
of Kentucky that they repudiated this
invasion of dher rights by an overwhelm-
