Port Arthur Situation.

A correspondent of The LONDON
Times, cabling from Niuchwang, says
that messenger has arrived there
from the Yalu river with the informa'
ton that the Russians are fleeing
north across the river in overcrowd-
ed boats and are losing hundreds by
drowning.
Danger for Americans.
A correspondent of The Frankfurter
Zeitung (Berlin), writing from Ha:bin,
Manchuria, under date OF March l6,
says:
"Great bitterness has been aroused
throughout Manchuria against Amer
leans and British because 1t is believ
ed American and British vessels took
part in the bombardment of Port Ar
thur under the Japanese flag. This be-
lief apparently is due to the fact that
the japanese feet was larger than the
Russians anticipated and included un
known types of vessels.

lean and British people are not safe

and was taken to Muhden and there

der the American flag and carrying
American goods, has been prohibited.

thur, which is reported to be pro-
visioned for two years"
Situation at Port Arthur.
The situation a Port Arthur, ac-
Scording to an Associated Press dis
patch, is unchanged.
Two other naval officers have ar

Jap Spies Caught.
Two japanese have been caught dis
guIsed as Lamas and with $50 pounds
of guncotton in their possession, at
tempting to destroy the Nonni bridge.
They have been conveyed to Port Ar
thur for examination as to how they
procured Chinese passports. They will
afterwards be dealt with according to

NO TWO SEASONS ALIKE.

When one comes to talk of the climate of
Northwestern Alaska he is apt to strike a
snag. There is no accounting for it. The
mildness of the present winter season
astOnishes the coolest inha bitant." He
contesses himself puzzled to account for it.
There has been a remarkable absence of
cold weather, and the blizzard has scarcely
shown himself. And the winter is wearing
itself away apace. The sun is daily grow
ing more powerful and the passing of each
day brings us nearer the spring sOlstice,
and almost before we know it the season of
spring will have arrived. However, it is
rather early to congratulate ourselves upon
the passing of winter. There is yet ample
time for the Frost King to show himself in
his pristine terceness nevertheless his
reign, for this winter at least has been cur
tailed.
During the early part of last year we
specialized on the Japan current, because
the closing weeks of the year 1902 were
mild and gentle, but the following months
of 1903 were such as to forbid even mention
of the current. Snow fell in great volume,
the blizzard ragged often and with intensity,
and the cold was severe.
We do not care to offer any speculations
as to the climate of this section of Alaska.
There is saying extant that mo two sea-
sons are alike" and after number of
years observations and experiences we feel
like subscribing to it.

A RIOT OF EXTRAVAGANCE.

At the rate the city council is issuing
warrants on the general fund it will be
several years before they are redeemed.
They are accommodating too rapidly: the cash
fund, too, will soon be exhausted, and thus
does the burden of debt increase If the
present ratio be maintained the tax eaters
will soon outnumber the tax payers. AS
city affairs are being conducted, and have
been conducted for months past, the people
are being compelled to pay obligations for
which they are not bound either legally or
morally. The city is being compelled to
pay pecuniary debts that it never incurred.
The extravaganza practced that friends
should be rewarded and boosters paid for
their services has been both wanton and
reckless. Outside of the fire department

way, simply because good men are connected

eminent as the town has. should be reduced
one half. There are too many overpad Off
Gals, who are not worth to the city what
they cost. The majority of the present city
council have given the people some of the
rawest examples of nepotism and reckless
extravaganza that were ever known in the
history of much larger and far more impor-
tant towns than is Nome.

AS TO MINING DEVELOPMENT,

A busy place is the benches of upper
Dry creek. Scores of big dumps are there
in evidence. Steam plants are numerous,
shows plainly that good dirt is being taken
out in many places The divide which sep
arates the head of Dry creek from Dexter is
also the scene of considerable activity. That
the benches of that locality are destined to
produce an immense amount of gold within
the next few years, the results achieved
already prove Men who are in a position
to know state that the section mentioned
above will prove one of the best mining re-
gions of the peninsula. That there is an
extensive deposit of pay gravel seems to be
beyond question. And yet a year or two
ago that whole section might have been
purchased for a song. The developments
of the past year go only to show the truth
of our reiterated remark. It is work
only that counts The man who dig holes
is the best friend that this section of Alaska
has. He does things. He makes ground
productive, and the barren, uninviting wild

lie real HliIleI 10 uIle IOpc Vi UIllS country,
for, view the problem of development as
you may, the men who are not afraid to
work are the real promoters. And often,
very often, they receive the least possible
reward.
The fact cannot be gainsad, however,
that this section of Alaska needs real miners
as well as capital. BY real miners, we mean
men who know something about mining and
who are not afraid of hard work. One
trouble with this section is that there have
been too many "speculators' and ''pro-
moters;" too many wildcat mining COM
panies have been organized on the outside
to ''trim suckers Men, women and chill
dren have been thus robbed, and the devel-
opment of the country has been seriously
retarded. 1t is to be earnestly hoped that
the era of fake mining companies, so far as
Alaska is concerned, has forever passed.
There is ample opportunity for the legiti-
mate investment of capital, but there should
be none for the thieving shark whose only
object is to fitch few dollars from the
pockets of the unwary and the unsophisti

DIFFERENCES TO Be AVOIDED.

If the people of Nome are really DESTROYS
of securing good government, there seems
to US to be but one way to secure it. There
must be unity of purpose and unity of ac-
ton. If the forces which stand for good
government are sincere there will be strict
avoidance of all factional spirit. There will
be no east or vest no north or south in the
contest, but honest endeavor to accomplish
such results that will make for the better
ment of existing conditions and the welfare
of the community as a whole.
THE NUGGET has no axe to grind, no ul-
terror purpose to subserve. 1t is willing to
stand on it's record of the past in behalf of
good government, not only for Nome but
for Alaska as we'll. In this connection we
wish to reiterate what has been frequently
urged in these columns, namely, that the
people themselves are largely responsible
for the kind of government which they re-
ceive. The confidence Of the people may
be sometimes misplaced and abused, but the
remedy is usually at hand.

suppose a power plant would be placed in

warrants that our leading merchants won't

home to us: else soon we will have no homes
to come to. Let us talk these things over:
we must pay them. We can't afford to be
dishonest in public more than in private

better know our wants and each other. By

THE CoLoNEL's GUEST.
rRv M. Ouad.1


Colonel Dule, of -- infantry, had
been retired from active service be-
cause of the age limit, and being an
unmarried man he had set up bachelor
quarters in a western city He had
just got nicely settled when one night
at midnight queer sound in his bed
room broke his sleep. He had come
home an hour before to tumble into
bed without a look around, being as
near fuddled as he ever allowed him
self to get.
Once out of bed, he got down and
looked under it as the most likely
place to find a strange cat. What he
saw was a man instead of a cat, and
grabbing his big navy revolver and
imagining himself at the head of his
old fighting regiment, he commanded:
Now then. you roll out here or
I'll blow your head off"
go a little slow, colonel" replied
the man under the bed. i've also got
a gun, and the minute you stoop down

thief"
81 will, for sure. and I guess I'll
shoot at one of your legs as it is. 1
don't like the color of your pajamas."
Acting upon the impulse of the mo-
ment, the colonel sprang upon his
bed, but fifteen seconds later he was
so mad to think he had jumped that
he leaped to the floor with the ex-
clama ton:

Luther Bailey, member of the board
from the Sixth ward. 1.-The bid of F.
P. Edison for individual closets in the
manual training school was $4,000 and
the contract for latrine closets was let
to Ccnklin & Gustafson for $3.50. Re
sides this the latrine closets are per-
fectly ventilated. The stock heaters
for the closets are built into the walls
of the building and cost nothing as the
cost for a solid wall would be the same.

the alleged ventilation of individual
closets in the manual training building

STAND BY THE GUNS.
Board of Education Fortifies Its Posi-
ton on Plumbing.

There was no regular meeting-of.
the board of education last night, as a
majority would not venture outdoors
in the rain. but the few who gathered
had a heart to heart talk about the
plumbing controversy.
Tuesday afternoon a committee of
physicians, at the request of the COM
mittee of the board Messrs. Gleed.
Wilson and Carver, inspected the
closets in the city schools, to report to
the board on the latrine closets as
they found them and their ideas of the
system from a sanitary standpoint.
The report of the committee of physi-
clans was as follows:
To the Board of Education:
We. the undersigned, have exam
ined the American ventilating latrine
system of closets now in use in the
public schools of Topeka and find
the same sanitary, effective, and we'll

mittee. The physicians were particu-
larly impressed with the fact that al

free from any odor and in a perfectly
clean and sanitary condition. We re-
quested these unbiased physicians to
visit the schools and report on these
closets so the board could present to
the public the ideas of unprecedented
physicians regarding the latrine closet
system These physicians have simply
emphasized the statements of the
board regarding the closet system.
Many absolutely untrue and mis-
leading statements have been made re-
garding the latrine closets and one is
that only one firm manufactures them.
There are many manufacturers making
them, among them the Mott Iron Works
of New York; N o. Nelson Co. ST

Pittsburg; Aarons & OFT. Louisville;
Wolf Manufacturing Co, Chicago:
