Both Sides of the Question.

Both Sides of the Question. That our readers may form their own conclusions, we print the following let ter and the enclosed statements, a copy of which was received by both the Mayor of Treadwell and the Mayor of Douglas. We also print the reply sent:
 JUNEAU, ALASKA, June Il, 1904.
 To THE MAYOR OF THE C1TY OF TREAD
 WELL, ALASKA:
 We, the undersigned, have been appointed committee by meeting of the citizens of Juneau and have been instructed to transmit to you herewith a CODY of a statement signed by H. R. Shephard, Deputy Collector of Gus toms. under the sanction of Mir. Jarvis, the Collector of Customs of this Dis trict. and signed by Dr. l.. O. Sloane, Of the Marine Hospital Service, of this city: also a statement signed by Dr. Goddard the health officer of the city of Juneau.
 It appears that the reports current as to the thunder of cases of smallpox and the condition of the liability to infection have been greatly exaggerat- ed. We appreciate thoroughly that if a condition exists which carries with it any reasonable danger of spread of the disease to your town, that you would be entirely justified in protect ing yourself; and we apprehend that your actions heretofore with reference to the quarantine have been taken in good faith and based upon such state ments of fact, or purported statements of.fact, as have come to your ears. How ever, we do not believe that the condi- tions justify quarantine against this town or justify the public report of a quarantine such as now exists and which seriously affects the business interests of the people of this city.
 We, therefore, request you to submit these reports to your Council and hope that your Council may see fit to take such action, in view of the complete isolation of the few cases which now exist, as will permit of free intercourse between Juneau and your town.
 And in this respect we would be pleased if we could receive an early communication from you as to the action of your council upon these re- ports. We trust that the Council may see it's way clear to deal fairly with the city of Juneau and relieve the quaran- tine. We are satisfied that these re- ports are true and we are satisfied that under the statements made in these reports it would be unfair and improp CT for the quarantine to continue. Ii you have knowledge of the existence of any other cases or of the existence of any facts more serious than those stated in the report, we would bs pleased to trace them down and be lieve that we can convince you of theil untruth.
 You must realize as citizens, Of this District that any action taken te quarantine the town of Juneau with out reasonable and proper basis in fact would be not only unfair but woulc have tendency to create feeling which has not hitherto existed betweer the various communities and would carry with it but temporary profit t' any of the cities interested.
 Very respectfully,

MIGHT ARRANGE
 FOR AN AUDIENCE
SECRETARY LOEB IS BUSY Ex- PLANNING REFUSAL TO ALLOW MINERS TO PRACTICALLY Su5- MT MATTER TO PRESIDENT.

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 13.-Secretary Loeb today explained why he refused to allow the delegation of miners of Penn sylvania to go to Sagamore Hill to see President Roosevelt when they came here yesterday Mir Loeb said there is a rule here that no delegations shall be re- ceived by the President unless they ha De arranged an appointment with the Pres ident This rule has been strictly adhered to during the stay of the President here and it will be enforced during the remain der of the time he is here for the summer.
 MT. Loeb said the labor leaders came to Oyster Bay and took him unawares when they demanded to see the President. Had the men announced previously that they would be here yesterday, MT. Loeb said an audience with the President might have been arranged.
 Concerning the visit to Oyster Bay yes- terday of the committee representing the central labor unions of L.ackawanna and Luzerne counties. Pa. Secretary Loeb to- day received the following telegram from John E. Barrett editor of the Truth, of Scranton, Pa.:
 Dl0 fTeSldenL tSOOSeVell pefBoHdHy it- fuse to see a committee of miners yes- terday, as reported in this mornings pa pers?"
 In response to this inquiry Secretary Loeb sent to Mir. Barrett the following telegram:
 Many thanks for your telegram. The committee came here and insisted on see-
 ing the president to present petition at d time when l could not arrange it for them. The President did not know they were here. If they had sent word that they desired to see the President l should have been glad to arrange for them at some convenient time. As it was, I of fered to bring the petition to the per- sonal attention of the President. The statement that the President had any knowledge of the committees presence in Oyster Bay is not true."
 It was stated in the Associated Press despatch yesterday concerning the visit of the committee. that the President did not personally refuse to receive them When the committee called on Secretary Loeb at the executive office the President was absent temporarily from sagamore Hill He was not even within telephone communication of Secretary Loeb and the members of the committee were so in- formed

 The canal commissioners and. officers of the government have discussed the situation which 1t Is believed by all to be extremely serious, unless the decree be revoked and the interests. of Panama considered. The chamber of4commerce at a meeting today appointed a committee to communicate with the government The chamber considers the application of the Dingley tariff act not only detrimental to the interests of commerce and of the government, but against the spirit of the canal treaty.

Story of Big Loss Repeated.

St. Petersburg, July 13.-A special dis patch from Mukden tonight dated July 10, repeats the story of Japanese re- pulse at Port Arthur with the loss of 1000 men. The dispatch says;
 News has been received from reliable sources that the Japanese third army on the night of July Il, attacked Port Ar thur and was heavily defeated, an inn ,mense number being killed by Russian mines The total loss is about 30,0oo.'
 There was great interest throughout St. Petersburg all this afternoon for the fur ther details of the disaster. 1t has de- veloped that the official report at first was supposed to emanate directly from viceroy Alexieff. was not specifically fathered by him. but was given out as a report reaching his headquarters from "Japanese sources" What these sources are, has not yet been explained. Possibly the report was intercepted by wireless telegraph, but 1t is more likely that it came from the Russian consul at Che Foo, or the Russian at Tien Tsin.
 A full report is awaited from Lieut. Gen. Stoessel, commander of the military forces at Port Arthur.

THINKS ". ]. BRYAN
 SHOULD NOT SPEAK
MAYOR HARRISON OF CHICAGO, HOWEVER, SAYS HE HAS BEEN INVITED AND WILL DO TICKET GOOD.

Chicago, July 13.--Roger C. Sullival- She new member of the democratic national committee from Illinois, declared tonight that it was not considered desirable by members of the national committee that William J. Bryan will take the stump for the national ticket.
 Some days ago Mayor Harrison invited MT. Bryan to speak at a ratification meet ing, which is to be held in this city in few days. Mir. Sullivan declared when in formed of the invitation that had been extended to MT. Bryan that the leader from Nebraska must not come to Illinois to speak" Explanations were at once asked of MT. Sullivan. and he declared in reply that the national committee had de- cided not to have MT. Bryan as one of it's speakers. The reason assigned by the committee for this decision, according to MT. Sullivan. is that in their opinion he would do the ticket more harm than good"
 When informed of MT. Sullivan's declar- ation, Mayor Harrison said:
 We have invited Mir. Bryan to speak, and hope that he will accept. We think he will do the ticket more good than harm"

STABLE BOY PLAYS FOR HIM.

London, July 13-King Edward yester- day added one more to the many in- formally democratic incidents that have marked his relations with his poorer subjects since he came to the throne. Slipping away from the crowded New market race track, where he had been watching his own horses run. the king drove to a neighboring poorhonse. A minute inspection of the arrangements was made, and some pointed criticisms were intermingled with amusing chats be- tween the king and his pauper subjects. Of one old woman, the king asked:
 "Dou you all agree well?"
 When she answered most positively in the affirmative, King Edward banteringly voiced his surprise at this feminine Elyseum, saying: What, never quarrel! Are you quite sure7''
 In the poorhouse hospital his majesty noticed a mandolin on bed where a stable boy lay dying of a cancer. Tn answer to the kings question if he could play 1t, the boy said he would like to try the national anthem.
 Let us hear you said King Edward, and summoning all his remaining strength the boy sat up in bed and played God save the king" His majesty stood by the bedside until the familiar air was finished.
 What the king said to the dying boy is not chroniced, but this morning s newspapers say that when the king strode out and when the hospital ward relapsed into Its usual silence, the stable boy lay back on his bed and said: 1T can die happy now"
