Those who can recall the Republican ma
tional convention which was held in Phila-
delphia in 1s72 will also recall the fact that
the enemies of the party found great con-
and spiritless convention. General Grant
had no competitor for the nomination. and
because there vas no excitement over his
denomination II was given out that the
delegates had little or no interest in 1t. GER
tain bosses having decreed that it should
be done. Compared with the convention of
1S72 the present convention is a very active
one. yet General Grant swept the country
when he was thought to be beaten by the
nomination of Horace Greeley.

More than a hundred of the employees Of
the Transit Street-railway Company in st.
Louis have issued a very remarkable state
ment relative to their position. They de-
clare that they have belonged to street.
railway unions in other cities, but were in
duced to engage in strikes by the same
national organizers who are at the head of
the movement in St. Louis. BY so doing
they have lost their employment, because
strikes lave usually failed. Thus hundreds
of street-railway employees have been re-
duced to want. They charge that the money
which has been raised to help those who
nave gone into strikes has been largely ap-
propriated by the leaders and the dema-
gogues who caused the strikes, so that
very little aid has been given to the men
who lost employment, and that little was
given as charity. Driven to despair, these
men declare that they went to st. Louis to
get a chance to earn their bread, just as
other men came and took their places when
they struck. They declare that they are in
favor of organization when it is designed
to- secure higher wages, shorter hours and
the general Improvement of the employees,
but when organization is used by a few
leaders to obtain control Of employment
for their own personal advantage they are
opposed to ii.

Mr.. Seyfried, one of the somewhat nu-
merous attaches of the Office Of the city
attorney, has put himself in an unenviable
position by his interference with the affairs
of the superintendent of police in a most
unwarrantable manner. He wrote on the
against an offender a recon-
mendation for the dismissal of the accused
by Superintendent Quigley. which that Of
fcer did not make. When the superin-
tendent looked the matter up he discovered
that the dismissal was written by Mr.. Sey-
fried, but ordered by Councilman Hig-
gins. The councilman is alleged to have
denied any participation in the matter. The
disagreement of the assistant city attorney
and the councilman does not help the for
mer, but rather makes his offending great
err. for the reason hat the official who pro-
poses a quasi-judicial act by ''order of
Councilman Higgins IS taking orders from
a person who has no right to issue orders
of any kind. A deputy city attorney should
leave the superintendent of police to make
his own recommendations.

The decision of the jury on wines at the
Paris exposition to exclude from COMPETE
ton all American wines bearing the names
OF European products. as Burgundy. sau-
terne. Bordeaux. etc. is evidently inspired
by jealousy OF American wines. hich are
rapidly coming into favor In Europe. Sew
eral varieties OF California wines are named
after foreign wines because they belong
to the same family and closely resemble
them. but they are in no sense limitations.

that Ii Hung Chang has been summoned

ably mean the speedy adoption of a more

McKays and JandOses Once
Again Belligerent,
TWO MORE ENCOUNTERS
Lively Early Morning Engag ement
Occurs in Which One Side Fires
Volley of Rocks, and the Other
Leaden Missels From IA Gun--A
Second Thrilling Encounter
Within an Hour.

Hostiities were opened again early YES
terdaV morning between the Jandoses and
the McKavS, Two engagements occurred
while the dav was vet young. The first
was characterized by heavy firing, chiefly
of stones and to some extent of a revolver.
Jandose and Mckay were arrested and
their case will be heard Thursday. Jan
dos is out on $500 bail and Mckay on $500.
Both encounters took place on one and the
same battlefield. 1t was on and about the
premises of the two contending parties,
who live next door TO one another on First
avenue, near Alaska street.
The stories as to how the ARRAY opened
seem as conflicting as the engagement.
Jandos SAYS the opposing forces precip-
itated the battle, and from the other side it
would appear that the McKavs were first
attacked.
Mckay says the Jandoses opened with
throwing stones at Mrs Mckay while she
was on the rear poarch. JandUs SAYS Mrs.
Mckay first sv ept Stops from the porch
against his house, on or about 3 a. M.
when Mrs. Jandos witnessed the act.
However, it appears that Mr.. Jandos
came out in his robe of night from his
downv bed, and according to the opposi-
ton, industriously hurled stones against
the Mckay domicile.
This r,royoLaJ Mr M~K,,, L.
went out. Instead of retaIiating bv firing
rocks he fired two shots from a revolver OF
gun. Mr.. Jandos and Mrs. Jandos did not
consider such action etiquette and with>
drew.
tits said one of the shots passed only a
few feet from McKav's head. One of
them. it is also said, passed into the Jandos
house, and dangerously near the head of
Young JandoS who was asleep in bed.
Mr.. Mckay called on Judge Sehbrede
Immediately after the first encounter. The
hour was so early that he had to awaken
the Judge to tell him his troubles.
Mckay soon trudged homeward. Then
occurred the second engagement. Jandos
says he had started up town and had taken
particular pains to go the way he thought
he would avoid Mckay. However, he
saws, he met Mckay rounding the corner
End charging on him with a big Jack
knife.
Mckay is more cautious in what he says
and states that he will reserve his testi-
monv for the court. He states, however;
Jandos greeted him with big rock which
struck him in the back of the head,
Jandos admits having thrown the rock,
The daily morning Alaskan. (Skagway, Alaska) 1899-1904, 1900-08-28

He saws 81 made one motion like to hit
him, then he dodge and no throw. Then
Mckay come up, and | hit him in the
neck.
The trouble between the JandoSeS and
the Mckavs arose several DAYS ago. 1t
originated out of the fact Mckay occupied
a house just bought BY Jandos, and de-
clned to move without number OF days
time or notice. Jandos came at o'clock
one morning to let Mckay know that he
should get out and before he had left
pitched battle resulted in which stones
flew freely and words were hotlV banded
back and forth.
Mckay now contends Jandos and his
wife throw Stops on the back porch and
elsewhere about the out places of utility
of the McKaVs. Jandos says the MckayS
throw Stops under the windows of the
of the Jandoses.
Mckay says he will get out of the jan
dos house in few DAYS, Just as soon as
another house into which he intends to
move is ready for occupancy.
In the meantime there is birthstone in
the air about First and Alaska streets. At
the time of going to press the coroner had
no new cases to report and peace promised
to reign at least till another sun.
