APPEAL TO HIGHEST TRIBUNAL.
Kentucky Republicans Want Decision
From the Supreme Court.

From the Supreme Court.
CINCINNATI. Feb. l6.-Attorney II.
B. Macoy, with Ex-Governor Bradley
and other attorneys interested in the
Kentucky contested election cases ap-
peared before the United Sta tes Circuit
Judge Taft in chambers and filed no.
tice of an appeal from the decision rem
dered by the latter on Friday after
noon. The appeal will be taken direct
to the United States supreme court.
The petition for appeal merely states
that Judge Taft erred in declaring
that jurisdiction did not lie in the fed
erai court and it was solely upon this
ground that appeals will be taken.
When Macoy appeared before Judge
Taft he had with him several other
petitions which were brought by the
other minor state officials. The prayer
of each is the same. Judge Taft ex-
amined them all and allowed the ap
peal in each.
FRANKFORT, KY. Feb. 16.-The

Knott county convict, recently par
doned by Governor Taylor, is still in
confinement, the prison officials refus-
ing to recognize Taylor as governor.

Zulus and BasutOS.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Mr. Chamberlain's
announcement in the house of COM
mons of the intention of the govern
ment to encourage the Zulus to defend
themselves from the Beers is contin-
gency the Beers seem to have antici-
pated, as they have been doing every
thing in their power to win the good
will of the Basutos, who have thous-
ands of good rifles. The Beers gave
1000 Basutos safe conduct. If the
British let loose one tribe the Beers
will probably let loose another.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-IIaving COM
pleted his duties as member of the
Philippine commission. Admiral
Dewey will be assigned to duty as adj
visory counsel to the secretary of the
navy. His duties will not be arduous,
and unless war should occur and he
be required to help frame naval pol
icy or map out campaigns, 1T is not
likely that he will have much more to
do than Admiral Porter. Only on the
more important questions pertaining
TO the navy will he be called upon for
opinions.

asa"Kid" West and as "f.l CRqa fs3diKiis%
a notorious character throughout the moi tn
west, and not unknown in Skagwav, is
speeding over the long trail of snow and
ice from White Horse to Dawson to give
testimony against George O'Brien, who is
charged with the murder of Fred ClaYson,
Lynn Relfe and Lineman Olson. He ar
rived in Skagway on the CITY of Topeka
and left on the next White Horse train.
His appearance in SkagWav was not
known to anyone, and it was not until the
arrival of the Dolphin from Seattle that
the story of his being loaned to the Cana
dian authorities leaked out.
kid" West is a convict and under a
penitentiarv sentence of five years for at
tempted robbery at Seattle, and the extra
ordinary trip which he is now making fur
nishes new precedent in the annals OF
criminal procedure.
West is former partner in crime of
O'Briens. They served time together in
Dawson, and while spending the long
months in Jail there pl tnned other deeds OF
Grim to be committed when their time
should have expired. West has since told
! his story, which appeared some time ago
| In the columns Of the DAILY ALASKAN.
He said that O'Brien had agreed with him
while they were in Jail to engage in hold
ing people up on the trail during the whit
er following their incarceration. Vests
time expired before O'Bren's and he went
ITO Nome. There he got into trouble and
fled to Seattle. and from Seattle he came to
Skagwav enroute to join O'Brien in his
! enterprise on the trail. While at Skagwav
West heard from O'Bren, who was in Jail
at Tagish. and who wrote him asking
that he help him out. West said he went
to white. Horse fer that purpose sssd jn-
tended to make a gun fight for O'Brlen
while enroute for Dawson. But at White
Hor,e he learned that four mounted po-
licemen would escort O'Bren to Dawson
and that the latter would be so heavily
shsckled that he would be useless in a
| fight. West made up his mind that he
/ could not undertake such an unequal com
b t alone and single handed. He saw
O'Brin at White Horse when he was go
ing to Dawson, and saws he told him that
it was all off.
West came back to Skagwav and went
from here to Juneau, where Marshal
Staley arrested him as one of the robbers

CHIEF ENGINEER PARsoNss STAFF LIKE
LIZ TO BE ALL CIVIL SERVICE MEN.

Corporation Counsel whalen seems to be the
onlv one who IS unnecessarily delaying the prog

must be cleared up before the contract can be
signed As no one from Mr.. whalen's Office was
u-esent on Tuesday when the Boards counsel
applied 70 the Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court for permission 70 accept the securities Of
4e-ed by the contractors hackers, the Court
deserved It's decision which otherwise 1t might
have given a. once. Yesterday the Court handed
down Z memorandum saying that no decision

does so a favorable decision may be expected

John B. Mcdonald, the contractor, said yes
rerday that the articles Of incorporation Of his

the favorable decision OF the Court had been
communicated 10 him by the Board AS soon as
the company was duly incorporated he expected
70 sign the contract without delay. The last
extension Of tine given by the Board TO Nj

hoped that another extension will not have TO
be asked for although President Orr said yes

think the actual work Of construction viii begin
