I, ]. Watson, the new agent In Skag- way for the Canadian Pa;lfc Navigation company, reports that Capt. John Irving, one of the chief men of that company and the John Irving Navigation Company, Is planning for an active season in the Yukon basin. He says:
 Capt. Irving already has at Victoria a locomotive for the railroad which he is to build across the Taku portage. It will ar rive in Skogwav In few days and be for warded to the interior. Rails and other supplies will also be here soon. An order for ties for :he road was yesterday placed with people at Taku. The line will be only a mile and half long, but it will serve the important purpose of connecting steamers plying on Lake Bennett and Lake Atlin,
 "Csptain Irving is building two new steamers and barge at Victoria for the Upper Yukon. do not know what will be the size of the steamers. but they will probably be as large as the Cleaner. the steamer owned by the John Irving Navi' gition company which was plying on Lake Bennett and kindred waters the last season.

An attachment was yesterday placed on s,ooo 1worth of supplies al Bennett. be- longing to the Bennett Lake & Klondllfe Navigation company, by the Bank of Hali' fax. The service was made by Thomas Shirley, deputy sheriff, who came all the way from Vancouver for the express pur- pose.
 The Bennets Lake & Klondike Naylga. tion company and its two allied com panies lately put under one management, has of late bCen on the verge of becoming financially embarrassed and the Bank of Halifax holding an account of s,ooo against the companies had Mr. Shirley come north to make the attachment men> toned.
 Mr. Shirley will return to Vancouver on the first steamer leaving for the sosth. He last night said:
 Although it was necessary to attach the property of the Bennett Lake X Klon> dike Navigation Company, should not be surprised to find the difficulty into which the company las fallen all settled when get home. and the company again on its feet and ready to iegin operations in the spring.
 Bennett is in the Vancouver district, and 1t was therefore necessary for some one from our office to come here to make the attachment"
 The affairs of the Bennett Lake X Klon- dIke Navigation company have not been siiling the smcothest seas since the close of navigation last season. The statement was made In a British financial newspaper that H. (. Floekton, general manager last season, reported far more profitable sea- son than accounts at the last were able to prove, and the stockholders realized less than had been in prospect. A :ransporta- tlon man in Skagwav who Is somewhat conversant with the affairs of the com panv. says the profits available for divi- dends last fall at the close of navigation amounted to 5000, and now the capital stock Is to be increased and the stock holders assessed. Mr. Floekton is no longer general manager.

BURTON BUXTON'S STORY
Had to Apply to American Consul at Dawson Before He Could 0b- tain His Release From Custody.

Burton Buxton, whom the mounted po-
 lice held at Taglsh for forty days on sus'
 plelon that he was connected with the disappearance of Clayson. Is in Skagwav and is very wrothv at the treatment se. corded him by the strong arm of the Cana dian government. He says that the police arrested him on the charge of robbing a seow near Selk'rk, but that thev in fact suspected him of being Graves. partner at one time of O'Brlen, who has been sent down the river for trial for robbery. Mr, Buxton is employed assisting Harry Heins, Skaeway's efficient fire warden. In refer. Ing to his arrest and long detention Mr. Buxton said
 "l left D-wson December I3th last, for Skagwav. An abseess had formed In my head and had been very III for a long time In eonSequenee-to i'll to work. l determined that had 10 get out of that cold country, and started for my native land with some grub and blankets on sled which drew myself, had not one cent in money, al1 eamped oul in the open air most of the nights, with mercury down at times b sixty degrees below zero.

Freighting from Bennett,

A large number of the horse teams that have been in SkaSwav the last several weeks have left of late for the Interior, and feed dealers are complaining of a dull n aFI<e.. One dealer saysr that fifty teams have gone to the interior In the last few weeks and that more are going right along. The greater number of these teams have been here temporarily, but some that have left have been here a long time.
 Opportunities for freighting on the lakes or trails of the interior create the chief drawing card beyond the summit for local teams.

MORE FAST SHIPS
 FUR SKACNAY BAY
Canadian Pacific Railway
 May Run Two Steamers.
TO HAVE MJRE FLYERS
Pacific Coast Company Flaming for Two Swift Steamers to Make the Trip With But Tow Stops.

If reports materiallze Skagwav will soon have three or four more steamers plying to the south. Rumor has it that the Ca nadian Navigation Companv's fast s,eam- CTS Islander and Charmer are to be put on the Skagwav- British Columbia run in desperate effort to swing big share of the traffic that pours through this port to and from the Klondike and other Yukon re- gions. It has been said that the Canadian Pacific railroad is deslrous of leasing the Islander and the Charmer and running them on this route, and the opinion has been ventured here. that fl that railroad is actually planning to put The ships on the route, 1t IS probably exercising dis cerning faculty and making a long reach to divert the trafiie to its iranSeontinental line.
 On the other hand. however, it Is main tainej by certain ones in Skagway that the Canadian Pacific railroad would not engage in the operation of boats on this route. Nevertheless the company did op- crate steamers in the north during tie great Klondke rush. Some seem to thlrk that in the event of the Islander and the Char mer, or both coming on this run they will be operated by their owners. The Islander is said to be faster ship than any now running out of the port of Skagwav. and the cbarmer has the name of being craft of speed.
 The Pacific Coast Steamship Company has made a semi>offi;ial or perhaps tenta- tive announcement that lt will in the near future put two fast and direct steamers on the Skagwav-Seattle run, one of them to sail from thls port every tenth day. Agent F. w. White is not able to say when the ships are expected on the run. The Cottsge City is to be one of the shil's but the other Is not known.
 The plan Is to also add another ship to the company's southeastern Alaskan fleet, thus making four steamers in these waters -.s-----<-sa-----n--; Company. lt Is not now known what ship will cover the call at Sltka, but the Pacific Coast company will provide for one
