Freighters Will Wait There
 for River to Break.
WAGONS ON CUTOFF
Ice Thin Near Mi.to and Sslkirk and Breaking at White Horss and Points This Side-Toil Col footed on White Horss Tram.

J. Paulin, from Dawson March IS, re- ports the river lie thin in a number of places and snow going off the trail. and says already freighters arc beginning to gather at Lower LsBlrge to await the opening of navigation. The river is open at Mn,o. and several places between La Barge and White Horse. The Dominion eut-off Is barren five miles on the southern end, and nine on the northern.
 R. t. West, the newspaper dealer, re- turned from Takheenl river. fourteen miles below White Horse. He left there Monday night. He says:
 snow is of ten miles oi the railroad eut,otf, and of much oithe Dominion cut of. Mail IS being carried on horseback over the Dominion cutoff. The Red Line is using wagons on about ten miles of the railroad cutoff.
 "Six to seven hundred pounds of mail for Dawson Is delayed a, Bennett because more has been offered than could be cars ried. The delayed matter is second'elaSS mail.
 Nearly everyone Is going by way ot TagiSh, but the route tht way is now dangerous. On one route there Is no snow and on the other it is too soft. Fifty Mile river Is broken up but teams ean still get around it, Travelling in ,ha, vicinity, however. Is dangerous. New trails are being followed over the ite In order to avoid the worn places.
 There is open water a, White Horse and three miles below. Other places below are open.
 Several days ago the White Horse Tramway people attempted to collect toll Of those drawing freight over the roadbed of the tr Imwav. They offered no service whatever; but asked toll of a cent per pound. The teams began to break trail over the old Hepburn tram bed. The White Horse people, 1t was eontended. had no right to make the charge demanded un- less ,hev operated the trans, which they were no, doing. To obviate this they be- gan running one Oi the cars back and forth but carried no freight.
 "l, Is late 10 start ln with freight. Those who do so take biz chances. will leave Monday for Dawson, but will rush through with dogs and horse. Dogs can travel on Ice where horses cannot, and a horse on lani where dogs can pull no load"

THE REPUBLICAN q UB.
Win Discuss the Question of Ter
 rItorial Government.

The meeting of the Republicans on Sat uriav evening was one of the most i'm portant meetings that have been held in Skagway for some time. The lateness of the hour was the only reason why more space was not given to it in our Sunday morning edition.
 Attorney Dav, as before state6, being the committeeman of the territory, called the meeting to order, and he was elected chairman and Mr. Dlutriek secretary. Mr. Day afterwards was one of a committee of three to decide the date Of the primary for election of delegates to the Juneau eonven> tion, the other members of the committee being MeSsrS. Price and Sherpv. They reported in favor of Tuesday, May ist, and this was adopted.
 Mr. Price was called upon 10 state the result of his trip to Washington and in the course of his remarks said that he be- leved had Alaska asked for a territorial organization she might have obtained 1t. Mr. Dautriek rather took exception to this expression of opinion, and the result was a special committee appointed to investigate the general sentiment, composed of MessrS. Price, Sherpy and Dautrlck. Later on, after the formation of club, it was deter mined that the subject should be thorough lv debated, and that the decision should rest upon the adoption Of the committees report. In the discussion Mf. Price is to take the affirmative and Mr. Dautrick the negative.
 Then it was decided to form Mckinley club. and Mr. Price was elected president Nr. Dautr,ek Seeretlrv and Mr. Keelar treasurer. About forty signed the roll, The iirst meeting of this club was fixed for the I2th inst, and weekly thereafter, in AnderSon's hall.

The Special Session of the Legislature

Since the last issue of the TIMES
went to press Governor Pingree has
called special session of the legislature
to propose another amendment to the
state constitution relative to the taxa.
ton of corporations. The Legislature
met Wednesday and yesterday the
house passed the resolution and the
same with the exception of one amend
ment was also passed by the senate
Today both branches reached an agree.
and passed the measure.
The governor has again brought up
the question of constitutional amend.
ment providing for the establishment
of intermediate courts between the
circait courts and the supreme court OF
the state. This Is the same amendment
which was before submitted by the
legislature to the people but was de-
feated by the people at the spring cleo
ton.
1t is expected that the two houses
will pass bill prepared by Attorney
General Oren for the repeal of the
special railway charters this afternoon.
The presenting of the measure to the
legislature was something of surprise.

The safety of the business interests of Il

The safety of the business interests of the
United States depends on stable financial
policy. One Is now In operation in the
country and the one absolute bar for some
time to come against any change in that
policy is the republican United States SEN
ate. Michigan has chance to help keep
the senate right by the election Ct a sound
money senator. Shawassee has a chance
to help In this by the election of men,
Der of the house of representatives, and by
contributing a sound majority TO the cand-
date for the state senate. Unlike their demo-
cratic opponents, who stand upon fire.

In a personal letter to Mr.. ID. M. Estey,
of this city, Mr.. T. II. Norton, one OF the
leading business men of Wheeling, West
Virginia, says: 81 cannot conceive 1t possible
that the intelligent voters Of this nation will
paralyze the energies of the people, and
pauperize the wage earners by electing a
man like Bryan who threatens to make war
on organized capital and destroy all the
great industries of the country. l think

Nov. 9th"

During the speech of Bryan in this city
last night quiet appearing young mar,
who, from his clothes had evidently been
working on the farm during the day,
turned to one Of his companions aud re-
marked in a low tone to them, "Oh, |
don't know. Four years ago was working
for ten dollars month; now 1 am getting
eighteen dollars" And there are plenty of
others who had no work at all or who work
ed for their board only who are now getting
even from twenty to twenty-fOur dollars a
month and board for the same kind of farm
work. 1t Is quite likely too that some of
them will remember 1t just as that young
man did, when election day comes round.

The Press-American says that Mr.. g. W..
Essig, living north of the city, "has some
well grown Chester White and Victor pigs
which in the event of Mr.. Nc Klnley's cleo.
ton will cost SO 90; IL Mr.. Bryan is elected,
the pigs will only cost $1.5O." 1t further
adds. "Neighbors with an envious eye on
the pigs, are, regardless OF politics, hurrah-
ing for Bryan" Well, they don't need
to. Ii Bryan should be elected II is proba-
bly, true that they can buy MIR. Essig's pigs
for half of what they can get them for in
case Of Mr.. McKinley's election but If the
last assertion is true, they evidently over.
look the fact, which Mr.. Essig has been
wise enough to grasp, that the pigs would
in that event be only S1.50 pigs after all,
and 1t would be four long wears before they
would be anything else than cheap Bryan
pigs too.

Representative Mason was wide awake
foot to detach portion of one of the Burns
township school districts and make it par
of Gaines district before any of his con
stituents in Burns knew anything about the
proposed action. He Immediately took
steps to find out whether they wished such
action and finding out that they were
greatly surprised to learn of it and did not
wish to be detached from the Shiawassee
district to which they belonged he very
promptly succeeded in killing the bill.

course no one questions his right to do
this, but it is strangely inconsistent with
his present position relative to combina-
tions of capital, and democrats who OPP
pose him do not believe that such a
man could do the democratic party
much good in legislating against trusts
in congress-
In fact it is broadly asserted that Mr.

that he will receive smaller plurality

American citizens have good deal to be
proud of in the position which the United
States has taken in the eyes of the rest of
the world in the last four years. We have
become the richest, and European nations
have also learned that we can fight about
the hardest, Of any nation on earth. Does
any one think it is good time now to
leave any work half done and make a cow
ardly funk when the hardest part Of the
task is done? Rather, patriotic Americans
are quite likely to vote to uphold American
honor and add to American laurels by vot-
ing to sustain the American administration
of Pres. Mckinley and sending back a re-
publican congress to help in the wonderful
work for humanity which the nation is do
ing.

"lf President Mckinley can maintain the
open door and thus prevent the dismember-
ment of China he will secure the christiani-

Can any republican or any man who be
lieves in sound money and continued bust
ness prosperity afford to take the chance OF
sending supporter OF the cause of cheap
money and national contraction and ruin to
represent this state in Washington? Yet
that is what a vote for democratic state
senator or representative means this year
quite as much as vote for a democratic
congressman would be.
