THE FACTS or THE CASE.

The correctness oi the Interview given ths Daily Alaskan by Councilman Mo Gn,h. as published vss,srily morning has been challenged. This paper gave ths interview jus, as lt was authorized Co give t. h published only what Mr. MeGr1,h consented Co have repeated and suppressed those things that he thought would only ,,lr up trouble fpublishsi. Mf. MeGraih did say that a business min ot Sklgway who Is supposed Co be friendly to M'. Ronksndor had approached him about bulldinga sewer on State street and that some people might have thought ,ha, be- ,luss he had no, given thIs man any
 satisfaction he had us his Influence Co gs, Mr. R5nksndod io vote against bim for mayor. but Mr. Mccain stated further that he iid not think JhIs lnciient had anything t5 io with the question d, aIl and he thought nothing should be s'ii abou, It because lt would problbIy be misunderstood The Daily Ahskln re- fralnsd from mentioning this phase ot the interview because ts understanding w5s clearly that Mr. McGra,h dii not mean It for publication, not because he desired Co suppress the facts but bs-luss a wrong construction nigh be put upon it.
 Rlsno, the desire oi this paper Co put Mr. MeGath ln a tllse position or Co mls- represent him in any manner. So tlr as the Daily Alaskan know, and it believes his courss in the controversy that has arisen over ,hs election ofths mayor Is to k-epIng with hls honorable career here and elsewhere. This flet is known by Mr Nc Gath and by his rs1l friends. u Is only those who care no, a red cent for Mr. Ms Grath or his reputation who are irving Co mIsreUresent things. The crowd of lg.- taturs who are represented by the evening sheet are only attempting Co use Mr. No Grlth's popularity ln their efforts to em- barass Che counclL Had M,. McG,ltb been chosen mlvor this gang which t,.et Co bring abou, his teisa, ls well as thlt Of ths other members Of the council at the recent election, would have found in that fact an excuse Co make war.

Some years ago a steamer touched at Colombo to coal. and o MOorman went aboard and asked Sir William Gregory Co buy a catseye for 5000 rupees It was worth 10000 rupees, but thc distressed Moorman's father was In jaii. and he wanted to buy him out. Gregory listened to the old story and thcn offered the willy dealer rupee for the gem. The man went on seemingly offended. but presently re- turned and offered the gem for 4,OOO rupees. No: a rupee" repeated the Irishman. As the four hours passed thc Moorman came back 0t regular in- tcrvals. with Q lower offer each time 5000. 2.OOO 1000; then 800. 25O, 100, and SO on-tir finally, as the steamer was about Co start. he handed over the catscyc and took Grcgorys rupeel For once In a way the Moorman dealer had met hls match.
