WANT CHANCE
May Ask Boats to Move More
 Slowly

Theie is movement among the bus mess men of this city to get the steam ship lines operating on the South easten Alaska route to delay the hour of sailing from this city until 9 or 10 o'clock in the evening instead of get ting out as early as possible after the arrival of the train.
 Those who favor making the request of the steamship people to have thelr boats lay here for few hours point out that every day, Dawson people boun to the outside arrive at Skagway and do not have time to attend to their business in this city. Their attention has been called to the inconvenience this imposes upon the travelling public by those of the interior who have been unable to transact business they had intended while in the city or keep dates set for meetings with business men here. The result is detrimental to the interests of both the business men of Skagway and those who are bound for the outside.
 The matter will probably be presen- ted to the chambee of commerce to- night.

IN BOND
American Goods at Dawson
 for Alaskan Trade

According to the Dawson papers one of the features of the conditions that have developed this year at Dawson is the holding of American goods at that place in bond for the Alaskan Yukon trade. It is said the Dawson merchants have purchased American wares and products in great amounts to be held at Dawson in bond aud to be sold at Fair banks in the early spring.
 This is a privilege that is being exer- cised by the merchants of Dawson that the merchants of Skagway have at- tempted to secure from the Canadian government for themselves. They have thus far been unsuccessful.

REGULAR TICKET WINS.
LjTcIy Election at Manhattan Club

I'd Edward O. Whitaker The opposition
ticket contained only the name Of Forbes J.

A contest az an election of managers is unusual
at the Manhattan Club. The house wac
thronged last night. Some Of those who came
out 10 vote had not been at the club more than
two or three times in the last five years.
The votes were as follows: Truax. 24s; Parker.
245; Hunter. 24O. McDonough 90; Whitaker
237: Hennessy. 100.
one OF the significant features Of the vote last
night was that many of the Hennessy votes
were cast by members who are actively identi-
fed with Tammany politics. This fact prompted
the suggestion that the Tammany men were
trying to assert themselves in the club. When
Justice Truax asked about the election he
said:
The election tonight is unusual in that there
Is a contest, but for all that II can hardly he
called significant. Mr.. Hennessy's friends
thought that they deserved recognition. and
they exercised their privilege I'm voting for their
chosen candidate. The contest is a good thing.
Ordinarily there are about fifty or sixty present
at any annual election. Tonight there are fully
three hundred here
