The Chinese Situation,

Sixty years ago European influence
 broke Tn on the occasion of of the Eng
 fish war with China over the opium
 traffic, when Britain acquired hong kong and certain treaty rights of trad ing. Another war with Great Britain in ls5i, and subsequent war with
 France still further struck at the ex- elusive system. But not only did the Chinese retain full persuasion of their own superiority to all outsiders
 but belief m their military strength continued to be held in Europe, a be- lief which was based not only on their enormous population, giving them re. sources for the formation of armies
 that are practically inexhausuible, but also on the fact that they succeeded in recovering vast tracts in eastern Turkestan which for a time they had lost, and which Russia seemed unable to keep them out of. The belief was at last rudely shattered by the war with Japan in lS94-5, which revealed the complete rottenness ofthe military system and, indeed, of the whole ad- ministration. Since then the leading European states have been more eager to secure advantages for themselves in the way of trade, of railway and min eral concessions, and of foothOlds in the country by means of which their interests and their naval positions may be secured This constant az gression of European powers and in fiuX of European elements has more and more alarmed the Chinese and reused the national spirit to what may be called its exploding point. For a number of years past missionaries have in variOls places been assaulted and in some cases murdered, some times, no doubt, with the tacit ap- proval of the local authorities. Any one can now see how threatening the symptoms of disorder were becoming. But no one in Europe, anyhow no one in England, seems to have realized the nearness of the danger perhaps because none supposed that the cen tral government would encourage a movement which might not only com promise it with Europe but pass be- yond it's control This, however, seems to have now happened Whether from sympathy or from policy the government seems to be throwing itself into the national movement, and this has not only made the present more perilous but will pow erfully contribute to rouse the anti foreign feeling every where through |, this huge population, and make the | task that lies before the European powers far more difficult.

The call for Republicans 10 gather to- gethsr in AnderSon's hall last night met with a hearty response. and as representa- tive of a large number of the Republicans of this eitv there were about one hundred present. Attorney Dav. who as territorial committeeman called the meet ing, occupied the chair.
 There were few speeches, but there was a hearty reunion and lt took little talking to get the business in hand under headway and,concluded. The result was a reSolu- ton to hold a mass meeting for the selec- ton of delegates to the Juneau convention on the first Tuesday In May.
 Then lt was proposed to form a aMeKinlY club and this was carried with degree of enthusiasm. Attorney Dav was eommls- stoned to appoint an executive committee of seven, and these are to arrange for a weekly meeting to be held from two weeks hence until the Juneau convention, Tn or der that the delegates may be fully ln' structed. The first of these lessons Is to be conveyed in a debate next Saturday evening week, on the resolution That we favor a territorial government for Alaska '

He says further
 T have 7so men employed on the exten' sion at present and have sent to the Sound for 1000 more. Every man that applies is being engaged. lt Is the intention to rush the work, and we hope to have the track completed so cars can go through from Skagwav to Closeeigh by the latter part of July. Three hundred and fifty men Of my present force are working along Lake Bennett.
 "Fve thousand eight hundred tons of rails, nearly all that will be needed in building the extension beyond Bennett, are now on the ground at Bennett and at Carl bou, the greater part being at Bennett. More rails are on the way. In all there will be 6ooo tons.
 "The rails are from Chicago, where they are made by the Illinois Steel Com panv.

A Theatrical Success.

lt is a pleasure to announce that the theatrical performance of the ogden-Oak- dyne company was so great a success at the Armory last Friday night, so far as the satisfaction given to the audience was concerned. Unfortunately the attendance was not large, owing undoubtedly, to the fact that the publie have several times of late attended so-called theatrleals only to be bored to death by faklrs. The per formance given by this company has been pronounced by all who attended as the very best ever given in Skagway, and many and sincere were the regrets that they did not have the crowded house they deserved.

Is 1T RIGHT O AN EDITOR TO RECON-

From sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, sc.
1t may be a question whether the edi-

CHILTON PAINT


II Chiffon COMPANY has never made any
thing but good paint, which accounts for the fact that more
Chiffon Paint is used in the territory where the Company has
sought its business than any other brand.
Every gallon of paint made by the Chiffon Company
is mixed and ground by machinery in Pure Linseed Oil, to-
gether with sufficient Turpentne and %Turpentine Drier to
make it dry in the proper time. Paint ground by machinery
must necessarily be finer and superior in every way to a paint
mixed by hand. In the Chiffon Paints the colors are ground
in paste form and then re-ground into the liquid paint. Nc
expense is spared in material or labor to make the Chiffon
Paint as near perfect as paint can be.
1t is as good to-day as it ever was; and it has always
been as good as could be made. 1t is exactly what it is in
tended to be-the best Paint for Houses in the world.
The Chiffon Paint should be thinned with Pure Lin
seed Oil. Avoid Substitutes.
