 In addition to the alien act the British Columbia parliament was gulltv'of lssu' isg another legislative boomerang, in the shape of sn elght-hour mining law. As a consequence of this and other causes, the great Le Roi mine has discharged most of It's men; the War Eagle and Center Star. the next leading mines of ROssland, have shut down entirely, and all through the Kooienay district thousands of experl' enced miners are now out ot work.
 A large majority ot these. lt Is reported, are coming 10 Alaska, many to prospect for quartz on Lynn canal and other Inland waters. but many more to muSh over the winter trail for Nome. This will make an appreeiable Increase to the number coming this way that have been promised by the railroad and steamship agents.

WHAT sKAGwAY WILL BE.

The opening ot new mercantile house and the establishment Of a new bank in the citv are in themselves matters in whlth citizens nav take proper pride. and feel their confidence in Skagway con hrmet and encouraged. Bnt there IS a poin, in the manner in which banker 5eh> rendS reached the determination 10 eS'ao' fish these branches of his Juneau house here thlt Is matter for eongra,ulation, in that the step was taken with a full kno~l- .dge of the situation and the probabilities Of the future.
 Mr. BehrendS began business in Juneau some twelve years ago, and bv a close study of locll requirements has succeeded in amassing a comfortable fortune and ln winning the high regard Of all Alaskans with whom he has come in contact. When the Klondike rush Of 'O7 covered the mud flats Of this bay with tents and outfits, and there slowly began Co be talk Of a town here. Mr. BehrendS was one ot the first on the ground. But he did not put up his shinge that time. He Is man Of large affairs and one who carefully weighs every eetail before emblrking in any new enterprise. He did not at that time sec the amount Of business here that would warrant him 10 erecting a large mercantile establishment. and a small one would take up too much time for the profit lt would earn.
 But from that time to this Mr. eehrendS has carefully watched the progress Of Skagway. and probably knows as much of her affairs trom a purely business stand point as any Of our leading citizens, He marked every stage of this progress; saw when the city passed the doubtful state and when it put on the air Of Steadln-SS and pemanency. Even then he did not make move Co this point.
 But with the opening of the new year Mr. BehrendS made up his mind that the time had arrived when there would be room here for many large mercantile and other enterprises. and therefore he comes from Juneau and leases the large preTiSeS on Sixth avenue.
 Wha, finally led him Co this decision Mr. Behrends does not state. He does, however. express his belief thlt Skagway Will shortly become a port of great impor- tance. and has shown hlS confidence in that belief With the wide mercantile ac- Juai1,ance he has. however, ani with his knowledge and ready grasp ot currant at- fairs, it may be thit he knows Of good things coming Co SNagway of whieh it Is not business Co speak. In the train of MT. Behrends there may be several large en- terprises that win tend Co build up the cijy. Meanwhile, We are thankful for the present and full of hopeful confidence of the future

MUNICIPAL CHARTERS.

There seems Co be no doubt that the provision tn the Garter bill to grant mu- nicipal rights to Alaska cities was stricken out of tho measure when it was in committee. and therefore it might be we'll for the Chamber of Commerce committee appointe. Co examine the bill. Co report at one, resolutions ofpro- test for immediate transmission to Washington. At any rate, whatever is decided upon Co be done has to be done quickly. and it Is absolutely certain that the obtainance ot municipal rights is Of more consequence Co Skagway just at this time than all the rest Of the pro- posed Alaska legislation put together.
 In fact everything is at standstill awaiting a charter for the city. In the hope of obtaining one speedily no city council was elected last fall. and the gentlemen who continued to serve are not discussing any important measures of local improvement because it was be- lievcd that in a short time there would be a new city council elected under mu- nicipal law. Then the matter of fire insurance, of improvement of personal property. and many other matters are all iu abeyance; in short, Skagway has come to a standstill.
 However. the next mail steamer will bring letter from Mir. Price, which will doubtless inform our citizens of how Alaska legislation is progressing at the capital

The recognition or MIR. Kruger as
President oft the Transvaal by both the
French Government and the Queen oi
Holland lis forth from the Westmln'
ster Gazette the remark that this appAr-
ent uniriendliness is really due to Great
Britain's own fault in not communicating
to the powers the annexation OF the
South African Republics, So long as
this is not done, Mr.. Kruger, according
to this English authority, has a perfect
right to be treated as a sovereign
travelling incognito.
This failure to notify the powers, the
same paper declares, initiates still more
seriously against Great Britain, for, until
this international iormality is observed,
no right exists to treat the inhabitants Of
the Boer Republics as rebels.

Gen Lord Kitchener to a lieutenant

a reckless and ruthless determination
oI the Boers, hoping to execute his
atrocities amid silence, like that ef the

British officers and meh will not endure
this, and that Kitchener will stand

irms the suspicion hat they would

THE most magnificent gold brick
story Of any age" says the Chicago
/ayHaL "comes from Cripple Creek.
There is a report that the famous STRAIT.
ton Independence gold mine is ex.
hausted, and the British company that
bought the property is worried in
consequence, The company is capital.
izsd at SIS 900, 600, and its shares which
were worth Sr5 each a shorl time ago,
have fallen to IS, with a prospect OF
still further decline. The history OF
this mine, like that of others in Colorado,
reads like a romance. 1t was formerly
owned entirely by Stratton, who 10
years ago was a journeyman carpenter,
gla to secure work at 81 a day. After
selling his mine to the English syndicate
he returned TO Colorado. where he has
added another million or so to his
fortune by investments in real estate,
The purchase by English capitalists was
made on the recommendation of their
own expert, Mr.. Arthur Rickard. who
reported that there was enough ore in
sight to guarantee quarterly dividends
Of S4So,ooo for an indefinite period. The
present statement Is that the supply Of
ore has simply given out. Ifthat should
be the case sympathy tor the investors
will be divided with congratulations Tor
the astute Mr.. Stratton, who knew when
to sell"

Manchester DaY"-the thirty.
third anniversary of the death Of
the Manchester martyrs-Allen, Lar
kin and O'Brien-commemorat at
Chicago last week, under the auspices
OF the Chicago Nationalsts, was made
doubly interesting because of the pres
ence of four of the FIVE men who took
part in the Manchester rescue. They
consisted Of Col. Richard O'Sullivan
Burke. Thomas O'Bolger, Peter Ryan
and Joseph Kelley, and each in turn
recounted the stirring scenes in connec'
ton with the historical event which
eliminated in the execution Of Allen,
Larkin and O'Brien.
The "reminiscences Of Colonel Burke
were particularly interesting and evoked
a storm Of applause. He explained that
he had gone from Paris to London when
he was apprised OF the arrest of Col.
Kelly and Captain Deasy. HasteDing
to Manchester, he found that the local
organization of the Irish Republican
Brotherhood had made all preparations
for the rescue of the two men. Alter
the court had held them and they were
being taken to the Belleview Iail the
police van was attacked in Hyde road,
a short distance from Manchester, and
the prisoners released They afterward
escaped to America with the assistance
of their lends,
Colonel Burke explained that after
the rescue Colonel Kelly was secreted
in the house OF one Of the government
officers, and although thousands of
English soldiers and the constabulary
were searching the city from top to
bottom, they were unable to locate the
rescued man. On one occasion the
soldiers entered the house in which Col.
Burke and Col. Kelly were in hiding,
but the latter secreted themselves in a
water tank on the roof and remained
there until the redcoats had Quilted the
house.

II the Sunday closing order
continues over next Sunday, as IS ex
pected, the Hebrew and Seventh Day
Adventist faiths OF West Superior, Wis,
will likely make some large acquisitions
among certain shopkeepers there. Some
have already announced their intention
to close up their shops on Saturday and
open on Sunday, because that is the
best day for business. The city attor.
neY's opinion, given the chief of police
was to the effect that those who con-
scientiouslY observed Saturday could
not be held accountable for toiling on
Sunday. The chief is already puzzled
over one instance coming under this
ruling, A Hebrew and his son have
two stores near each other, selling the
same class OF goods. The father is
strict in his faith and he shuts up one
store on Saturday, leaving all the busi'
ness to the other store to be run by his
son. On Sunday the son, who is more
liberal in his views, closes his store and
his father reaps the benefits OF the
business done in store No. I. Chief
Luton says he does not see how he can
interfere, and there are some firms that
are considering keeping their stores

The official statistics show that
the Paris Exposition was a success,
$4,000. 600 persons having passed through
its gates, against rs, I2I. 97S persons IN
1889. In the latter Exposition British
and Belgian visitors headed the list as
regards numbers, but this year the
Germans came first and the Belgiaus
second. Americans also formed a very
noticeable contingent. The record day
for attendance in 1900 was 6oo COO, as
against 33s,377 in 1889. The total cost
OF the Exposition just closed was some
where between $4,000, 900 and $50, ,ooo,-
600; the exact amount will not probably
be known Tor some time. 1t is believed
that this enormous sum has been re-
turned indirectly in the increase Of the
treasury receipts, in the surplus OF
Parisian octroi duties, in the monuments
remaining to the State or the city, and
in the quays, bridges, and improved
transportation facilities lett by the
Exposition.

The Fate or the Nicaragua Canal
bill depends largely upon the report Of
the commission, which will be submitted
to the President this week. Should it
advise the construction OF the Nicaragua
route, as reliable authority declares it
will, and the President adopts the rec
ommendatiOn, the Senate will doubtless
accept it ard follow the lead OF the
House. On the other hand, if the report
should recommend the Panama route,
as ii is not likely to do il will afford
pretexts for some Senators to oppose
the bill, and the session may come
to a close with nothing done, The
feeling in both branches of Congress is
almost unanimous in effect that the
United States should control the canal
absolutely, as 1t is felt the project is OF
too much importance and involves too
much OF a financial outlay, as well as the
safety OF the country, to run the risk Of
being compelled to submit at any time
to foreign dictation in regard to the
canal.
