POst-Intelligencer IIdulges
in Yellow Fabrications

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has
turned yellow. Under a scare head
"Snow at Skagway," followed by slug
ged sub heads which read, "two feet
fell at town on August 26 and weather
turns very chilly hard winter
expected "old Indian prophet warns
inhabitants to prepare for very severe
cold SPELL" last Sundays issue Of that
paper contained the following ssnsa-
tionsl story, bearing skagway date
line;
1.-THE first evidence Of winter 10 Skag-
way made It's appearance last night and
continued sll dSy today. The slopes OF
the mountains sourrouuding the city
are covered with two feet Of new snow
and the atmosphere has decided chill
about IL, Quite a lot Of snow has been
falling all day in the streets, and the
wind has more force and penetrative-
ness about it than 1t has had at this
time Of the year for a number Of years.
"The old Indian prophet Choskow,
who has lived here for bali century,
has gotten out his big red blankets and
souats on the streets, gestieulating
warninely to the inhabtants, bidding
them prepare for the eoldest winter in
Skagway for many years. An the in
dications that ordinarily so TO herald =
cold winter causes the people here to
put faith in the prophecy Of the old In
dian doctor.
"The past two winters in Skagvay
have been exceptionally pleasant, ex-
cept for the heavy gale whieh is almos,
constantly blowing between the months
OF October and March. The gales in
winter are at times so furious as to blow
pedestrians Of the Streets
When a paper which should know as
much about Alaska as the Post-lntelli-
eencer publishes such rot as this con-
cerning the district is il wonder that
the people Of the states have such
miseonception Of conditions in the north
as they have.
II would be hard to get more false
hood into the same number Of lines
than are contained 10 the foregoing.
1t did not snow 10 Skagway August
26 nor has It showed since that date.
Just enough snow fell on the mountain
SUBMITS during the night preceding
August 26 to make il noticeable from
the town. II soon disappeared ard
there has been no new snow since that
time. Il was such a furry as often oc-
ours in the Cascades and the olympic
mountains Of the state Of Washington,
the Rockies Of Colorado and other vest
ern mountains in the summer time.
There is 20 Indian prophet, chtf or
private in Skagway named Choskow, so
far as is known here.
Il is not true that the wind blows In
gales from October to March. Last
winter there was not three weeks OF
wind during the entire season.

Second Secretary Of american Lega-
ton Victim in st. Petersburg.

St Petersburg, Nov. 27-Robert Woods Bliss,
second secretary of the American Embassy.
who has just returned here after a three months
vacation in Paris was the victim of outrage
by rowdies in one of the most fashionable
streets of the capital late last night and escaped
being beaten to death owing to the timely ar
rival of the police
Mr. Bliss was returning to the embassy on
foot from the yacht club, where he had been
dining On the Horse Guard Boulevard, oppo-
site the barracks of the Chevalier Guard, the
secretary was suddenly set upon by two men,
who sprang out of the darkness Of the trees.
Mr. Bliss knocked down of his assailants
but was seized by sympathizers with the rowdies
who had been attracted to the spot by the dis
turbance. and he was getting the worst of it
when three policemen and house porter went
to his rescue and fought off and seized
his assailants The rapidly gathering crowd
however, which promptly sided against the po-
lice, rushed at the officers and rescued the
prisoners. The police managed to stand off the
crowd and cover the retreat Of Mr.. Bliss. who
was badly cut about the face but not seriously
injured.
To-day a police captain visited the embassy
and apologized for the attack on Secretary Bliss,
but he warned the members Of the embassy
that the streets were unsafe especially the
boulevard which is the rendezvous of rowdles
and soldiers and sailors in civilian clothes The
captain advised the members Of the embassy 70
go armed in future and not to venture In the
streets at night except in carriages.
Charge d'Afaires Eddy has reported the analr
to the authorities at Washington, but rs the
incident was plain case of rowdyism, he prop
ably will not make official representations at
the Foreign Office here unless instructed to
do
Several years ago an English governess met
a tragic death at the hands of soldiers OF tne
Chevalier Guard. She was seized at night al
most at the same spot where Mr.. Bliss was at
tackled and carried to the barracks. Three
months afterward her bones were discovered
under the floor of the barracks. The Emperor
was greatly enraged at the outrage, which the
authorities were unable to bring home to any
particular soldier, and disgrace caused the
eagles to be taken off the helmets of the regl-
ment for one year.
Second Secretary Robert Woods Bliss, OF the
American Embassy at ST. Petersburg, comes
from New-York, and was formerly American
consul at Vienna He was appointed secretary
at St Petersburg in October. 1904 and was
prfvate secretary to William Henry Hunt When
the latter was Governor Of Porto Rico.

party at the moment when dissolution of Far
lament is threatened. owing to the split in the
UnioniSt party the fiscal question, is the
latest sensation in the political circles of the
United Kingdom.
Sir Edward Grey, who was Under Secretary
for Foreign Affairs in the Liberal administration
Of 1S92-'95. speaking at Newcastle-under-Lym
tonight, attempted to dsspate the widespread
impression that the positions taken by Lord
Rosebery and Sir Henry Campbell-B -Bannerman
are irreconcilable. He said he thought Lord
Rosebery had put wrong construction on Sir
Henry's speech at Stirling, and that undoubtedly
an explanation from the latter would prove
there had been misunderstanding. Sir Edward
said the policy Of the Liberal government should
be along the lines followed by Premier Balfour'
George Wyndham. former Chief Secretary for
Ireland, and Sir Antony P. Macdonne Under
Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, IN
giving ireland the widest possible scope for the
development of her local institutions. He de-
the idea of home rule for Ireland as part or the
Liberal policy.
