Italian papers relate the romantic life story of Enrico Eandini, who after being believed Goad for thirty years has now returned to his family at San Casciano, near Florence. In A ,r.i. 1877, Banaini went to St. Petersburg, where he dealt in I'lorentine straw hats and objects of art. Suddenly all nes.- from him ceased, and inquiries remain ed unanswered.

COUNCIL PASSED IT BY

company had recently filed suit for damages against the Cotton Belt, for freights lost and delayed, q settlement for which the Russell company had been endeavoring to get from the Cotton Belt for the past four or five years. True. the Cotton Belt people had circulated reports to the effect that the Russell company were chron- ic kickcrs and that they had refused to sign a certain paper releasing the railroad company from damages re sultant from the construction of the spur track; but these reports had nev- CT been circulated until after the present trouble arose. He had heard it contended that the city council was not the place in which to thresh out tbs trouble. and that it should be set tied in the courts; but he begged to differ with those who advocated this kind of an argument. He believed that this was a matter for the city council to take up and settle. lie be- ,ieyed it was for the legislative body of the city government to handle, not the judiciary of the county or state. He asked the council to give the Rus sell company relief of some kind, but failed to say what kind of relief he wanted.
 Alderman Fox said that he was sof- ry for the Russell company, but he could not see what the city counc1l could do to relieve them. He had had some experience with railroad spur tracks. and to the best of his knoWl- edge and belief they were largely re- sponsible for the general laXlty ol morals on the part of wholesalers ana iobbers throughout the country. lie believed the present trouble was one between the Russell Grocery company and the Cotton Belt railroad, and he, for one, was opposed to the council meddling i'll 1t.
 Alderman Jordan said he champion cd neither side of the mooted ques- tion.
 "This was about the only exciting thine that occurred during my brlef incumbency of the mayoralty, ne said "and when they brought me word that the Cotton Belt had torn m the Russell spur and was engaged in replaeins the tracks in the old ste, or the Gillespie spur, I ordered the noliee to stop the proceedings, hold= inc that as the company had abandon ed ifs former site it had no right to reconstruct the track there without uermiss on from the city council.
 Like tie other aldermen. Df. Jofaah thouebt tho trouble was one TOT 1he Russell company and tho Cotton belt to settle between themselves, now ever. and that the city council haa nothing more to do with it.
 Mayor White said the council cef' t,;n1v had nothing to do with the tfo"' h1e as it belonged properly to 'he courts The city council he said, was <. noor nlace to thresh out such dilli- cu1ties. it had troubles enough or us Nui''e''' ;9NxFW3

own. The courts should have the dis position ef the matter.
 By consent, Attorney Bridges, for the Cotton Belt made brief speech and took the ground that the city, council did not grant it's permission 10 the Cotton Belt to extend the Gil lespie spur, but to erect a new spur for the Russell company. This being it's old site at all, and had perfect right to reconstruct the old track. The only thing the Cotton Belt want ed was for the city council to leave the matter alone and let it be fought out in the courts, where it belonged. The board of trade had refused to have anything to do with the trouble, and he only asked that the city coun- cil follow the board of trades action. Let the courts decide, he said.
 Alderman Hightower wanted to know what the city attorneys opinion was, and the city attorney replied that after having examined the ordinance closely he found that the phrase ology was such that it granted to the Cotton Belt the right to construct a switch for the Russell company, with out imparing it's rights to the old Gillespie switch, making them sepa- rate and distinct tracks, and that the railroad company had the right to re- construct the old spur so as to connect with the main line of the road. He thought the council had nothing to do with the trouble, as it stood; it was matter for the courts to decide.
 By permission, MT. Russell address, ed the council. He contended that the Russell spur was not a new one, but a continuation of the old Giles pie track.
 Alderman Riley felt that the coun- cil could do nothing in the premises.

TELL THE LEGISLATORS

The people of Skagway should make it a point to impress upon the visiting senators and congressman who will be here in a week or ten days that Amer lean merchants doing business in Skag- way are not getting as fair deal from Canada as Canadian merchants residing st Dawson are getting from the United States. They should be made to see that while Dawson merchants do most of the wholesale business with the American camps down the Yukon Skag- way merchants are shut out from the Canadian markets of the upper Yukon.
 Within the last two weeks hundreds of tons of American goods have been taken from the bonded wherehouSes of Dawson and shipped to the American side of the line for sale 70 retail deal CTS and consumers. This has been done without a cent ot duty having to De paid either country. The Canadian merchants of Dawson have done a Troi- itable business in American territory and added to the commercial import snce and prestige of a Canadian city.
 The merchants of Skagway have asked time and again to secure the right to carry Canadian goods in bend st this place to be sold to Canadian con- sumers across the line without the pay meut of duty as the Dawson merchants carry American goods at their town, but thus far they have asked in vain. The Canadian regulations coustrue Ca nadian goods as foreign when the ship ment of which they are part has been broken iu a foreign country, and duty has to be paid upon them as upon foreign goods, before they can re-euter Canada
 It might be argued that the privilege Sksgway merchants ask is one that must come from Canada and not the T-n{,a5 States That iS tr1e h1t ii is within the power of the United States to force Canada to make this concession, Our government could cut of the priv ileges the Dawson merchants have or it could suspend the port of entry al Sksgway until such time as the Cana dians would treat American merchants as fairly as the United States treat their merchants.
