with tne Commissioners relative TO the
nuisance caused by persons who frequent
a poolro0m on Fourth Street, between /
ana X Streets northwest.
In reporting upon The complaint Lieuten-
ant Moore OF Inc Sixth precinct. TO whom
1t was referred stated This pO0lroOm
has been troublesome TO me, and am sure
ii must have been nuisance to the resi-
dents in the vicinity. Frequent arrests
have been made in and about the place for
dIs0rdeTly conduct during the past six
months.
Some enquiries among the neighboTs
were made a few months ago, as to what
they knew OF this place, in the hope of Sc
curing sufficient evidence TO proceed against
the proprietoIS for keeping disordeTly
house but We were unable TO secure the
proof necessary 10 apply for a warrant.
Upon the receipt OF Air. Schneiders

were sworn out against the propTietors,

the world, far ahead of anything we
have. Should she control southeastern
Alaska through another naval key, she
would have chief command of the Pa
cific.
Lately both nations have been too
busy with more important immediate
troubles but within a few years the
Alaska boundary question will have to
be settled. 1 hope the American people
Will not, from sentimental or any other
reasons, surrender what is theirs by
right and what, until the presence Of
precious metals in the region was dis
covered, they possessed without dis
pute. But If they submit it to arbitra-
ton they will again lose valuable terri
tory, for they will have to contend
against men of the highest diplomatic
training, the most faithful devotion to
duty that the world has yet known
and men, who, when their nations trade
is at stake, are absolutely regardless of
every principle of honesty, justice and
international law"

MUST NOT TALK.
Militia officer in Transvaal Censured
by Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 20.-Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. the Canadian premier, made a
statement today relative to differences
which existed between the government
and Gen. Hutton, who retired from the
command of the Dominion militia and
left for South Africa service last week.
It is in the form of a reply to Colonel
Prior, and is in substance that differ
ences have existed between the govern
ment and the general which it was dis
posed to let pass in view of his recall
to South African service; that the diff
ferenceS were not over broad questions
of policy, but that General Hutton was
insubordinate and indiscreet and de-
Hberately ignored the authority of the
minister in the administration of the
department.
Concluding, the premier, speaking for
the government, says that the officer
commanding the militia, on accepting
the position, must understand that he
is subject to the authority of the Cana
dian government.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

The company which supported Joe
Murphy in shaun Rhue" at the Craw-
ford theater last night was a surprise
to those in the audience who have seen
Murphy performances in the past 1t
included less ability than any organi-
cation of players that has been pre-
viously identified with the veteran Irish
comedian. With one or two exceptions
the members impersonating Irish char
acters limited their attempts at Irish
dialect to the use of ''spake," and the
heroic seriousness of the prosecuted
daughter and her gallant lover was of
such q character as to invariably sug-
gest laughter. Mr.. Murphy might have
partially atoned for the bad acting of
his company by dressing the various
members properly, but even this was
neglected Poor Irish girls tripped
about with yards of lace swinging
about their ankles, and the men i'm
provised knickerbockers by wearing
leggings over long trousers.
'Shaun Rhue" is of the old school of
Irish plays in which the villains stand
on the roadside and shout their dia-
bolical schemes. However, 1t has
proven q success for Mr. Murphy for
25 years, and will probably be retained
by him as long as he remains on the
stage The two characters of Larry
Donovan" and Shaun Rhue'' give him
ample opportunity for amusing an au
dience, and in this he is always sue
cessful. At the present day Mr.. Muir
phy's shaun Rhue" is better than his
Larry Donovan because age is COM
rnencing to show itself in his face and
he appears rather ridiculous in the char
acter of the young Irishman.
Last night was Mr.. Murphy's first APP
Dearance in Topeka in several years,
and the audience that saw him was
sufficient to almost fill the house.

from Russia, the same language was
used IN the treaty as in that between
Great Britain and Russia in 1925, and it
IS ambiguous. The boundary of lower
Alaska was to run from the summit Of
mountain ranges parallel with the coast
never more than ten marine leagues,
or about 80 statute miles, from the
coast. There is no range of parallel
mountains so the line must be located
by leagues. Great Britain has contend
ed that the coast means the coast of the
islands. In that case she would have

the Populists themselves can not an

parture from the Populist ranks yet he
went to Lincoln yesterday to mix with
the Populists on the national commit

CLASS LEGISLATION.
Missouri Department Store Law Falls
in Court.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 2O.-The su-
preme court, in banc, today in an opin-
ion by Judge Robinson declared the de-
partment store law passed by the last
legislature unconstitutional and void.
The reasons given are that it is clearly
class legislation that the act is incom-
plete, is not a law and does not con-
stitute a rule of conduct and that the
act imposes an occupation tax as a
license to do business. The law applied
only to st. Joseph, Kansas City and St.
Louis and to stores in those cities en-
ploying more than a certain number of
clerks. This feature is objected to in
the opinion as class legislation.

New York. Feb. 20-Billy Barrett of
this city won from Frank Patterson of
Brooklyn in the eighth round of their
bout in the Hercules Athletic club in

that Patterson's jaw had been broken
