an actor friend who was playing LAD

Some changes had been made in tie

sKAoWAY's FUTURE ASSURED

The Tremendous development of the
American Yukon lnsures the continued
growth of Skagway. In spite of the efforts
OF Canada to hamper the merchants of this
city and In spite Of the neglect Of our own
government, the business men Of Skagway
have It within their power to build UP on
the shores Of Skagway bay the great
wholesale emporium Of the north.
There Is every indication that within q
wear from now the population between the
International boundary and the kovukuk
will exceed that of the klondike. These
people must eat and wear clothes and thew
can be supplied from Skagway to better
advantage than from any other point.
The American Yukon country will be a
better field for the trader to operate in than
the klondike has been, because the popu-
latlon Is scattered along greater area. In
the klondike the entire business of the
district centers around one eitv, making
il possible for the merchants of Dawson to
supply the entire district. II is different
on the American side. The mining dis
trlets are so numerous and so widely separ-
sted that no one point can become the
metropolis, of the region, and the trade will
naturally remain In the hands of the river
jobber to greater extent than ever obtained
at Dawson, and it will be easier for them
to hold 10 than has been the case in the
klondlke country.
II behooves the merchants of Skagwsy
to be vigilant, and catch this trade at its
inception. Efforts must be directed toward
getting an equitable system of bonding,
and arrangements should be secured where
bv the bonding can be done here at
Skagway. The British Columbia press
Is united In agreeing that these privileges
should be ours. There is no doubt but
that It could be so arranged, and no time
should be lost in taking the steps necessary
to complete the details that all may be in
working order and we'll understood by the
opening Of navigation in 1901.
Let this be done and let the right to buy
and sell Canadian goods be secured, and
Skagway will be the great city of the
North, and the trade of both the United
States and Canada in this region will ex-
pand faster than ever

The motive Of the enquiry made by the
House committee was not revealed to the
Commissioners and is not known at the
District building. II has been suggested
that the committee has in mind the acqui-
sition OF the tract between Tenth and Fiji
tenth Streets for Government purposes,
with a view to the obliteration Of the dis
orderly houses which are alleged to thrive
in that quarter Another suggestion is
that the committee contempiates the ac-
QUESTION of the property described as part
Of the general plan OF reserving the south
side OF Pennsylvania Avenue for Govern
ment grounds. in which may be located
such buildings in the future as the growth
of the national needs may require.
The tract concerning which the enquiry
was instigated is about half of that re-
quired to carry the general plan Of i'm
proving the south side OF the avenue into
effect. II the property should be ac-
quired and the buildings on IT removed it
would clear the space west OF Tenth Street
and south of Pennsylvania Avenue. except
square 523. which is occupied by the post
office building.

TITUS FAILS TO APPEAR.
Not Present i'm Court When Called
for Sentence.

Howell Titus. a local attorney. who was
convicted some time ago OF having OBJ
tai7 ID money under false p-etences. when
called for sentence yesterday in Criminal
Court No. ., failed to appear. and bench
warrant was issued for his arrest. Since
his conviction on February 1 Titus has
been at large on bail in the sum OF $1,000.
Jay G. Wilson being his surety. When the
prisoner failed to answer in court, on mo-
tion of the United States Attorney for the
District. his bond was declared forfeited
and notice served on Wilson to roluce
Titus forthwith. Titus was convicted of
receiving money from prisoners in the
District Jail under Indictment. under the
false pretence that the funds would be used
fer the purpose of procuring bail for their
release. The jury which found Titus guilty
also recommended him TO the mercy Of the
court. His attorney. however Immediately
gave notice that he would fiie a motion for
new trial. This he did on February o.
Nothing more was heard of the motion,
and according to the rules Of the court. it
became void en- February %. fifteen days
having lapsed without argument or evil
denee being offered in its support. Justice
Cole. who presided at the trial. however,
let the matter go over till Friday, and then
again till yesterday. On Friday he in
structed Titus attorney TO have him in
court yesterday at 10 a. IN. When he did
not appear Justice Cole ordered that
bench warrant be issued for his apprehen-
sion.
The last time anyone who knows admits
OF seeing Titus was on Friday morning
At that time he was standing at the cor
ner of d and Fifth Streets at about 10 a. m.
Since that time all trace Of him seems to
have been lost. II was stated yesterday
that some time during the early part Of the
week Titus disposed Of all his office furni-
ture to two different persons at different
times and places. In addition 10 this it is
stated that he also made a present Of his
effects to some one else. One Of his friends
said that he did not believe that Titus had
left the city. but was off on a spree and
