THIS IS AWFUL.

The people of Alaska are actually
pitied by the tax ridden subject of
Queen Victoria who are now in the
Klondike, the men who are taxed for
the very air they breathe and cheated
out of half Of that by rapacious govern
ment officials. No, not by these poor
suffering subjects are we criticised,
but by the Dawson Sun, the organ of
the Yukon government, an administra-
tion that before this year is out will be
provento be cse most corrupt' of any
that has yet figured in history.
Still, it is well ito see ourselves as
some others see US" and the Dawson
government organ. in an endeavor TO
show that we are in worse plight, po-
litically speaking, than the people in
the Yukon territory, has this to say:
"The pc pie of Alaska are classed as
aliens by the government at Washing
ton. Alaska has been inhabited and
ander the rule OF the United States
government for some thirty-three years
and what do we still find ? Alaska has
no representation and the people are
heavily taxed by the federal govern
ment. Alaska has no legal municipal
organization.
"Alaska has not single judge at
present and it may be for some time
yet. Alaska has no more to say about
how her government should be run than
the Philippines have. 1t would seem
that after all there are worse places
than Yukon in North America"

OUR TowNsMAN BURNHAM.

"ln the Public Eve" OF Munsev's for
June Is to be found fairly good portrait
of Lieut.. Col. Steele, who used to be sta
toned at Bennett and was promoted to be
superintendent of police and commissioner
of the Yukon council. Now he Is COM
handing the Strathcona horse, or what Is
called the rough riders regiment of the
Queens troops in South Africa. In the
very next column Is an excellent portrait
of F. R. Burnham, just as we knew him
here. and Munsev has this to say of him !;
mot quite all the soldiers OF fortune
who have been drawn to South Africa BY
the din of war are fighting with the Beers.
No foreigner can enlist in the regular armv
of Britain, but 1t is probable that the re-
cruiting officers of some of the colonial
comm ands have been less particular" says
Munsey's, and evidently upon very meagre
information, for Mr.. Burnham left Skag-
way upon kilograms direct from Lord
Roberts, and almost Immediately after
Lord Roberts had himself been appointed
as Chief of the South African campaign
With this exception the Msnsey gives a
fairly good account of Bunham's past,
some of which it is worth while to recall
and to correct in detail.
Mr.. Burnham was trooper in the Rho
desia Light Horse during the war with the
Matabeles in 1896 and 1897, and it was he
who performed the most celebrated exploit
OF the campaign by shooting the native
god M'Limo, who was regarded as the
chief inspiration of the revolt. This story
has already been told in the DAILY ALAS
KAN, and with closer approach TO facts
that the Munsev seems able to give.

Argument Began Yesterday in
Ray Damage Case.
Levi G. Eird Continued His Arsu.
ment While the Lightning FLASH
ed and the Thunder Rolled
and Said he Was Not
Afraid.

The damage suit OF Jessie j. Raw vs..
the Diamond State Steel Company, will
be given to the jury today. The attor.
neys offered their prayers yesterday
afternoon and opened argument.
Andrew E. Sanborn presented the
prayers for the plaintiff. He held that
the law made it obligatory upon the
master to provide reasonably safe place
for his employees and reasonably safe
appliances. His duty could not be dele
gated to arHher II an employe was in
dnced to return to work in an uneaie
place or with unsafe appliances. npon
promise being given to have the thing
made safe, and was injured he would be
entitled to damages if there were no CON
tributng negligence on his part.
L. 9. Nsndegrift, on b'half Of the de-.
fendant company, held ffat it was not
required that a company should provide
the most improved machinery. If the
injuries resulted from tue neg ig-nce ot
a fellow emp'0ye or white tine person

ment, then he could not recover
Mr.. Sanbjrn SAID they would claim
damages for Rays loss af time AMI salary
AMI pains he suffered by reason Of the
accident, also for his damaged ability to
earn q living in the future and what
pains he ma. suffer ia tile future.
Levi C. Bird argued for the plaintiff.
This was while the rain storm was at its
height ard some OF his remarks were
made am;d the loud thunder claps. He
stated once that he was not afraid OF The
lightning aud the thunder, as be had
plenty OF company, which created con-
siderable amusement.
Richard Jefferson testified as to The
good condition Of the truck and track.
This witness had been subpoened by
Mr.. Bird but not called to the stand by
him. Mr.. Bird remarked that jefferson
had been away from the steel company's
place for while, but is now employed
there. Mr.. yandegrift said to the Wit.

Jefferson.
There is rule Of the court that na
more than six witnesses will be allowed
to testify as to any one point. Mrs

more than that number. He said thas

H. K. Stubbs and DR.. j. H. Rile said
that given healthy condition q leg thas

Motion to Set Aside $500 Judgmene
viii be Argued To-

Thursday by City Solicitor Conrad ia
set aside the Judgment and inousition
~ the case OF ]. w. Hall vs. Clerk of the
Market Michael ConnelI. which WAS for
$500 for false arrest and imprisonmens.
The Judgment had been obtained bv
default, as Connell did not appear. He
has now, however, determined to fehs
the matter and seeks to have the iudg-
meDt and inqu'sition set aside, on the
ground that the inquisition was not made
at the proper term, that the defendant
was entitled to notice of the time of the
lnquisiti IN; that $500 was grossly exces-
slve, being $500 more than asked for by
PLAINTIFFS counsel, and such as to shock
the conscience of the Court; that the tes-
timony showed no ill will or malice, and
the plaintiff was entitled only to actual
damages to his person or character; that
the Court can decrease the amount of the
verdict or set it aside; that William w
Donovan, one of the inquisitors, did not
sign his name, that his mark was made
BY the counsel for the plaintiff and was
witnessed by an inquisitor and not by
the party who signed his name that Dom
ovan should have had an officer of the

sitor to make his mark.
