E4STERLING PARDONED on con
DITIONS.

DITIONS.
Up to the time THE LEADER went to
press last week we had been unable to
learn definitely whether there were
any conditions attached to Prentiss
Easterling's pardon or not. We have
since learned by letter from Mr.. j. j.
Evans, Secretary of the Penitentiary,
that the pardon was granted
"On condition that he hereafter do
not smoke cigarettes or any part there
Of or drink any intoXicants in any
quantity, or carry pistol or any other
deadly weapon, nor enter or pass
through any of the counties of Copiah,
Lincoln or Pike within ten years from
this date Jan. Is, 1900.
The violation of any of these condi-
tions will subject Easterling to rear
rest and Imprisonment again in the
Penitentiary, just as if no pardon had
ever been granted. While still regard
ing the pardon, under all the facts and
circumstances, as an outrage on justice,
Iilio 10 ocliic"hdO E'dllidIei ny bho law
that it is not unconditional. But what
circuitous route our late remarkable
Governor will take to assume a virtue
he does not possess, is, to those who
are familiar with the geography of the
situation, aptly illustrated by the last
clause of the above conditions. Easter
ling's home and the scene of his crime
are in the northwest corner of Lincoln
only a few miles from Jefferson county
ON the west and Franklin ON the south
yet the Governor left jefferson and
Franklin entirely out of the conditions
and jumped away down to Pike, full 20
miles or more away, and which only
touches Lincoln on its extreme south
ern border. Verify, "our Anse" just
can't keep from acting crooked, even
when he is doing his level best to make
people believe he is saint.

REMAIN FOR EVER
The Names to be PIaoed on tho Gov ernmont Maps and Thus Perpet- uats From Generation to Goner-
 ation Till Timo Shall bo no More.

When Surveyor General Distln was here a short time ago he stated that the late Thomas Whltten had made an excel lent suggestion to him as to the naming of the mountain peaks on each side of Skagway, and that he would like to see this suggestion carried out. He left the matter with an eminent engineer and oth> CTS of this eitv, and promised to see that the names selected were duly reported by him and placed on the government msps. The matter has been carefully considered by those upon whom he delegated this duty, and the following names, and the reasons for which they are given, follow. These will be duly reported to Surveyor General Dlstln:
 The mountain peak on the west side Of Lynn canal and opposite the point where the incoming vessel swings around and gives to the tourist a full view of the city has been named Carter mountain. Senator Carter Is looked upon, from the deep inter est he takes in Alaska affairs, as the au- thority In congress upon the subject of this vast domain, and therefore 1t seems em- lnently fitting thai his name should come first In this nom.nelature.
 The next mountain north and the one

just south of Buno creek is to be Mount Fairbanks, in honor or the senator who is at the head of the American side of the High Joint Commission, charged with set ting the boundary dispute.
 And then comes Gnome mountain, as lt has been called for some time, because Of the humln profile of Titanic proportions which forms its crest, So distinct is this human profile thit it would be scarcely proper to give it the name of any living man; for fear the visitors might search for some facial resemblance Nelween lt and the gentleman whose name is given to It. But, while maintaining this impersonal point, it has been deemed advisable 10 change the name of Gnome to one more suggestive and better calculated to last for all time. The name chosen Is the Sphinx, and with this distinctive name to call at ,entlon to lts peculiar form, 1t will become as famous as any natural feature in the world and will help to make Skagway equally famous.
 Crossing over to the other side of the port there Is another mountain that al- ready bears a name, and one that honors Skagway as much as It honors the bravest hero of modern times, Admiral Dewey. lt will ever be a pleasure 10 remember, too' for everyone who treasures memory Of Skagway, that long befole the eonquerinR hero had returned to his home and had been met with a reception by his country men that exceeded in its enthusiasm all welcomes home of modern times, Skag- way had already at her gates one of the grandest and most enduring monuments to him and to his gallant deeds that tho country can or will ever be able to boast Therefore. this mountain Is already named and for all time; and for nearly year now

TEES AND ROSALIt IN
They Do Not Bring the Crowds oi
 Passengers Expected.

The steamer Rosalie arrived from the Sound at , o'clock yesterday morning with eightv-two passengers, and falr amount of freight. The Tees which got in at about } o'clock yesterday morning, brought twenty-five passengers, 100 tons of mer- chandlse and general freight, and 200 tors of coal.
 The RoSalie sailed for the Sound at , o'clock last evening, and the Tees is ex' peeted to get away for Victoria at o'clock this morning.
 Nothward bound the Tees left Victoria Wednesday nlehth, and Vancouver at TO D. m. Thursday. She called at Skeena river with freight for eanneries there.
 lt was March 7z when the RoSalle got away from the Sound. She brought news advlees of the morning of that day but she did not call at any British port and in con sequence had nothing later. The Tees brought British papers of the evening of the 22nd.

the Stars and Stripes have proudly floated from Its spIreIlke pinnacle.

the Stars and Stripes have proudly flcaied from its spireIike pinnacle.
 To the south Of this Is a mountain oi nearly the same altitude, and to this has been given name of no great national re- nown Tut one which all our citizens de light to honor. It Is that of the man who first suggested the naming of these noun tains, Thomas Whltten. So much was this talented engineer respected and even beloved in Skagway that there has been talk of erecting a monument by public subscription his memory. What more fitting than this high, whlte-tlpped moun- tain. that will keep his memory uppeTmost. in the hearts of the Skagway people And It comes so fitting at the present time, when the memory of the awful sudden death by accident of Mr. Whltten Is SO fresh in the minds of everybody.
 And weeks may finger into months,
 And months grow into years
 Ere memories of Whltten
 Shall cease to draw our tears.
 And wears shall climb to centuries,
 Centuries ripe and rot,
 Ere the lofty mountain Whitten
 Shall be for aye forgot.
 North of Dewey peak, the next noun tain that rears It's snow>clad head into the clouds was to be given the name of Mount Dlstin. but the honor. as before stated, has been declined in favor of Senator Shoup, one of Alaska's best friends where the laws for Alaska are being mlde.
 This does not end the great range, but 1t Is cut there by deep ehasm, and through there trlekles a perhdious creek, that babbles on and on without doing any good to anybody. as much of its water travels under the great bouIders and out of sight. That It Is to be called Brady creek renders any explanation of the why and wherefore unnecessary.
 The peak across this divide and next in altitude to that of Dewey has been re- served for Addison G. Foster, the senator from Washington and ihe senator for Alaska. He Is endeavoring to place us in communication with the world, and he Is also taking the deepest interest In all the affairs of interest to Alaakans.
 There Is another peak beyond this, one that is a feature In the landscape. This

TOPEKA BROKEN DOWN
sho splinters Hor Shaft When Leav-
 ing Elliott Bay.

The steamer City of Topeka, of the Skagway-Seattle route, sustained broken shaft few days ago while leay' ing the bay at Seattle for Tacoma, and will probably not be here again for two weeks. It was necessary to send the vessel to the dry dock for repairs and it is thought this work may consume the time that the vessel would have re- quired to make round trip Co the north.
 The Pacific Coast company, owner Of the Topeka is unfortunate just now, in having been further crippled in it's Alaskan service few days ago by the steamer Al-ki, one of it's vessels, run ming into an iceberg. The Al-ki was partially repaired; and is proceeding south, 1t may take two or three weeks to completely repair her.
 It is not known whether or not the Pacific Coast company will have an ex- tra steamer on the run during the work of repairs to the Al-ki and the Topeka.
 The Rosalie, arriving yesterday, brought passengers that were booked to come on the Topeka.

That Is What His Hench-
 man. Kelly Says.
AND HE HELPED PRICE
Says Kelly. for Mir. Prioe Was n
 Young Man Without Experience and He Helped Him Into His Work as Alaska's Representative.

John Lyons, a young Juneau attorney. has been appointed assistant supervisor of the census work of southeastern Alaska and Western Alaska. under W. A. Kelly. superintendent for these districts. The appointment is made by Mr. Merriam. general national director of the twelfth census. This announcement Is made by Mr. Kelly, who arrived in the eitv from
 Juneau Saturday night, and who will leave by the next steamr returning to that city.
 Mr. Kelly was at the Dewey, where he last evening appeared radiant and happy as ever, and In an entertaining way touched on affairs political and pedagogi- cal. Being superintendent tor schools for Alaska, MT. Kelly keeps in toueh with those matters at the national capital as well as at home. He says Mr. Price. Gov. emor Brady and himself have all been harmonious on the matter of better schools for the District, and have all worked to get half of the taxes collected in Alaska by the Federal government appropriated for the maintenance of It's schools
 "As 10 the question of representation in congress have nothing new. 1 know. however, that Mr. Price has been assisted in his work at Washington by the gov ernor, and believe that when Mr. Price returns to Skagway he will acknowledge that Mr. Brady did help him materially. Mr. Price went there a young man with out much experience. in national affairs, and the governor helped him into the work. Mr. Prize, believe, wrote to one of the Juneau papers making a sort of apology for the attitude he first took to- ward the governor.
 People of Skagwav may have forgotten that Mir. Brady. with his influence, and bv the aid of the people of this place, Juneau and the Sound cities, saved the port of Skagway to the United States several wears ago. when the British were covetous of the place.
