Twenty Japanese were brought down on the Dora from Kodiak, all of them charged with murder, says the Valdez News. A Jap was murdered at Karluk cannery last summer, but it has been impossible to fix the guilt on any one person owing to the refusal of the wit nesses to divulge the facts. All those known to be implicated were arrested and given a preliminary hearing before the commissioner at Kodiak, with the result that the whole twenty were bound over to the grand jury.
 At three o'clock last Saturday after noon the steam whistle at the Wrangell mill sounded long and vigorously, per haps for the last time in 1904, and the concern shut down. The difference be- tween this mill and the fellows old musket, the touch-hole of which was all that was left, the mill building and machinery and receiver remain. Hence things appear somewhat quiet and wilt remain so for some time to come-very likely until the unnecessary appendix with it's S10 day rake-oG and expenses shall have taken it's leave and entered the more honest avocation of law prac- tice before the new court.-Sen tinel.
 The Skagway Alaskan of the 5th tells the following story of the Haines rob- bery. Two masked robbers with revol- vers held up R. M. Odell, merchant and agent for the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, at Haines Saturday night. They only secured S3, which was hand ed them by Mir. Odell from his pocket. He refused to open the safe. Mrs. Odell was in the store at the time of the robbery and proved herself a hero inc. When the robbers commanded ! Mir. OdeIl to give them the money in the safe, the latter told her husband not to give them anything. Then she ! started to leave the room for the living apartments in the rear. The robbers told her to stop, threatening to shoot. She said: "Shoot, then, don't believe you have the nerve. You couldn't hit anything anyhow" After this shot, Mrs. OdelI left the room and the rob- bers fled. A soldier was arrested for the crime last night. but was discharg- ed to day.
 Twenty tons of gold have been pro- duced by the KIondike proper, the dis trict within a radius of fifty miles of Dawson, since January 1st of this year says the P.-I. In other words the out put of the Klondike since the first of this year is S9,2OOO0O The royalty col Iected on the gold by the Canadian government for the year is S230,2 The output of the Klondike last year was at least two millions heavier than this year. The banner year in the camp was in 1900, when the output was plac ed at S2O,OOO,OOO. Since that the cream of the richest claims has been taken and lower grade areas are being work ed. It is expected that with the in stallation of numerous hydraulic dredge and other big plants, that the output will not be allowed to diminish nearly so fast as otherwise, and some predict that within a few years the by draulic plants may even multiply the output until it will exceed that of the present year. The gold bearing area here is enormous, but cheap water is great need.

LIGHTING CASE.
Vice Chancellor Pitney In
sists That the Pnblic
Services Conten-
ton Is Just.


In the street lighting controversy be-
tween the Public Service Corporation and
the American Lighting Company Vice
Chancellor Pitney defining the terms of
his recent order gave the Public Service
Corporation outhoity to replace it's lamps
emoyed by the American Company and
instructed the Public Service Corpora
tion to furnish the city with gas at the
price contracted for by the city with the
American Lighting Company, the money
to be paid into the Court of Chaneery
until the final adjudication of the contro-
versy. The Yice-Chaneelloh insists that
the Public Service Corporations conten-
tion that was. if furnished by the corpor-
alton should be measured by its metres,
is just and that it stands ready to install
its metres as soon as the Baltimore con-
cern or the city provides a suitable and
proper place for the installation of such
metres. This, however, is said to be i'm
pacticable.
