This was a specific charge and was
either true or false. II false. the very
best way to meet il, is to answer to the
merits of the action. Plaintiff would
have TO prove the allegations of her
complaint, and she could not possibly
do that if false, because it is a very diff
fcult charge to prove at best. That
would have been the end of it, and de-
PENDANT would have been indicated by
a jury.

how best to ward of its effects? By
all means avoid the issue. Call plain

everybody who says anything about

But what made the papers suddenly

Van boldly thre atened to pull the

boundaries. He can o dig up from

BULL FIGHT FOR
THE DELEGATES
Foreign Members of the Algecras
Conference Witness Bloody
Spectacle.
HORSES GORED TO DEATH
ALLEGED HORRC OF FOREIGN
ERS PRESENT.

AIgeciras. Feb. 4.-The brilliant
though bloody spectacle Of a bull fight
in honor Of the conference on Moroc-
can reforms was the event of today.
Crowds came from all parts of Andalu-
STA to the vast stone amphitheatre
where the bull ring is, and more than
5000 persons saw the fight.
box gaiIy decorated with the
Spanish colors accommodated the am
bassadors and officials of many coun-
tries. Most Of the delegations to the
conference were represented and many
of the ENJOYS were accompanied by
their wives and daughters.
Duke Was on Hand
The Duke Of Almodovar, the Span
ish foreign minister who is president
of the conference, accompanied by the
duchess, was the center of a group or
ambassadors and white-garbed Moors
and throngs Of Spanish women in pic
tUresoue costumes lent a touch Of
uuaintness to the animated scene. The
American and British delegates did not
attend.
Three celebrated bull fighters fur
nished the sport and the bulls were of
the famous herd of Don Marine Santa
Maria Of Seville. The first animal
brought into the ring, g huge, black
Andalusian beast, killed two horses be-
fore the matador, LagartibO, skillfully
drove his sword to the hilt' into the
animal, which fell dead. Thousands
cheered this and the band played a
Spanish fandangO.
Sickenins Scenes.
The second bull was tremendously
dedicated to the Duke of AImodOvar
by MatadOr Morenita, which is the
custom of the country 1t proved to
be an ugly fighter and gored the blind
horse of a picadOr. This bull also was
dispatched. Another bull killed five
horses, four of them dying in the are
ma, while the fifth, terribly gored,
staggered outside and died. The plea
doris were often endorsed, but none
of them was seriously hurt. The skill
of the matadOrs was shown as they
pirOUetted before believing animals
which were stung to madness by the
darts with their gay streamers stuck
into them.
The foreigners present witnessed the
scene with mingled admiration at the
audacity Of the matadors and horror
at its cruelty.

 The Str. Al-Ki is still in the overland trade.
 A.B. Hes, railroad promoter, has been arrested at Valdez, charged with forgery.
 Rev. N. B. Harrison, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Skagway has resigned.
 The Skagway Daily Alaskan alludes to the Transcript as Juneau's Assinine adviser. Hee Flaw.
 Tom Marqusm, Skagway lawyer, went to the Panama on a political mis- sion, and they kept him.
 The delinquent tax list shows that a large part of the property in Skagway is owned by "Unknown." Seven men were burned to death in the Coffee Creek cannery, which was destroyed by fire last June.
 Five more Japanese have been arrested on St. George island, charged with seal poaching.
 The development of the Rainy Hol- low properties would make pertinent the query, "What is Haines' mission?"
 The Juneau Transcript claims that the ''freight" on lady's skirt is only 21 cents. It must be one of them short ones.
 The Japanese seal poachers were found guilty in their second trial at Valdez and sentended to six months imprisonment.
 The "Portage" property at Funter Bay is reported to have been sold to San Francisco parties, representatives of the Guggenheims.
 Late news from Skagway is that a wild steer has taken possession of the town and is chasing the few people who dare show up on the street.
 The gasoline launch Walrus burned on Sept. 6, when about five miles from Ketchikan. Two passengers (native childrenj perished in the flames.

The Babine river Indians whose haunts are near the headwaters of the Skeena river, have revolted, and the rising is of such serious nature as to have compelled call for the militia. The authorities on the Skeena river are declared to be utterly unable to cope with the situation, and it is stated that unless a force of militia is rushed North with all possible dispatch there is grave danger that murder may be done.
 Hereafter the Episcopal missionaries especially Archdeacon Stuck, will not have to wait for steamers when they desire to travel on either the Yukon or Panama rivers. When in New York last winter Bishop Rowe met and talked with William F. Lowe, brother of the former mayor of New York city, about the difficulties encountered along the great rivers of Alaska. MT. Lowe was deeply interested and said he would be pleased to furnish launch and ordered one for Bishop Rowe.
 There is something out of joint in Uncle Sam's mail service when pas senger steamer of the class of the Hum- boldt, and running on fast schedule, comes to Alaska every 10 days for month after month without mail. It has been said before but it will bear repeating that every passenger steamer coming from Puget Sound to Alaska should carry mail. The people of this district are contributing enough in the way of direct taxes and commercial prestige to the states to entitle them to them.-Ex.
 A correspondent of the Seattle P.-I., writing from Ketchikan says; Presi- dent Roosevelt has directed the fores- try departmentIto send to Southeastern Alaska representative to investigate the workings of the forestry service here. AS result F. k. Olmsted, assist ant forester under Clifford Pinchot, has arrived and commenced his investiga. tions. The miners have been greatly annoyed by the rules of the depart ment which they allege to be misfit as far as Alaska is concerned, and U. S.. Rush, of the Rush-Brown copper mine on Prince of Wales island, and other leading mine operators, complained that the use of timber and the occupan cy of the ground should be right and not privilege, and the rules and regu- lations governing forest reserves are impractical and unjust. The efforts of MT. Rush and associates were supple mented by blanks in both the Repuhli- can and Democratic platforms adopted by the conventions recently held in Juneau, which demand that the forest reservations in Alaska be abolished. These strong protests, which were all filed with the president, induced him to instruct the forestry department to take immediate action, and as result MT. Olmstead is here to make complete investigation. He has already visited several points in the Alexander archi- pelago forest reserve, which covers 5,O00,Ooo acres on various islands along the coast west of Ketchican and Wran- gell. Before leaving he expects to con- suit with everyone concerned and hopes to visit all the principal mines and manufactories which are in any way connected with the reserve in- terests.

Waskey isa democrat in politics, but he was nomi- mated by the miners and union labor of Nome as we'll as by the democrats of that place. and all the parties of Fair banks.
 Ex-Governor A. P. Swineford, in an open letter to the Skagway Alaskan, says, in part: Principles not Men" is guiding rule of political action, and the splendid enforcement given me by the people of Alaska among whom have lived longest and who know me best, coupled with the knowledge that the gentlemen elected for both the short and long terms are pronounced friends and advocates of local self.goy- ernment, serves to rob the defeat of any sting whatever, but enables me to rejoice with good Alaskans over most glorious victory won. Though it,is al- together unlikely that 1 shall ever be a candidate before the people of Alaska, as whole or in any part, 1 beg to assure the many friends who honored me by the expression of confidence at the late election, that shall, neverthe- less, in private capacity, continue to do the utmost in my power to promote the welfare of this far northwestern country and it's hardy, rigorous and euJerpFlSluR peOple'
 Once there was pair of Hustlers who had boy named Bill. From the time Bill could say Dada he never heard anything but talk about how to make money. When Bill was five years old he was expected to graft enough to buy his own Clothes. When eight years old he owned a team of Mules and breaking plow. At ten he burned his Bed and never took any rest, working for himself in daylight and taking in Flowing and other farm work at Night If Bill had taken cue hours pleasure he would have thought he was on the down grade to Perdition. By hard work and Frugality Bill had saved S5000 by the time he was twenty one years old. Sewing his money under his Shirt he came to Yukon in 1898. A Dancehall girl located Bills Wad before he had been in Dawson forty-eight Hours. That made Bill feel Chilly and he has been hugging up to Saloon stoves ever since trying to get warm. When Bill goes to bed now he don't care if he never gets up. The Porter work he does enables him to eat about Four times every Week. The pair of Hustlers back on the old Farm look for Bill home every day with half a dozen Horse Hide trunks full of Money.

 Dan Walker, who has been in the Forty Mile district for twenty-one years, left Dawson recently with his family of several children, the oldest F years old, who have never seen the smallest kind of town until they got to the Klondike city. They will see their first metropolitan wonders at Se- attle. The children were all born at Forty-Mile.
 A Dawson paper says; A report of a placer strike good for the good old shovel methods, on Haggert Creek, on the Stewart River, is brought by pas sengers on the steamer Prospector. The report is indefinite, but it was learned at points where the Prospector stopped that quite number of Stewart River people are going to the scene of the strike to stake.
 Civil servants in the Yukon, who have long been prohibited from stalking claims are now acquiring mining prop erty, because the new code does not prohibit it. It is expected that a special order in council will soon be passed prohibiting the mem bers of the gold commissioners office, including the recorders, and also the governor of the territory, from owning mining property.

New York Herald Special Service.


New York, Dec. $50 much is said
about what is lacking and what is
needed in the United States senate that
one begins to wonder if the upper house
IS not on the verge Of shake-up. -
There is a cry for better men, a higher
sense of patriotism, less corporation
money, less talk, election by the people,
publicity for executive sessions, a
larger membership, smaller member
ship, redistributed membership, an age
limit, a closure rule, the loss of it's con-
troll over appointments, with gain of
prestige by the house. But "Jef''
Davis now asserts that the real way
to regeneration is, in the commence:
ment orators phrase, thru strife. He
is going to tell the corporation-ridden
graybeards just what he thinks of them,
and right to their faces, too.

UNIONS ARE PLEASED
Reappo1ntlnent Of Williams Gives Cen
eral abstraction.

. w. H. Williams left last Tuesday
evening for Cincinnati, where he will
attend the child labor convention. Mr..
Williams was appointed a delegate by
Governor johnson the same day5his re-.
appointment as state labor commissions
er was made public. The convention
will extend thruout most of the present
week, but Mr.. Williams will be- at his
office in the state, capitol before
Christmas.
Satisfaction is expressed: on all sides
in labor union circles over the reten-
tion of Mr.: Williams at the head of the
labor bureau. That some uncertainty
about the outcome was felt was appar-
ent from the fact that the unions all
over the state got busy and soon sue
ceeded in convincing the governor that
nothing would suit them but Mr.. Will
liams' continuance in office. A: big pc
in his behalf under the direction of the
State Federation of. Labor political
committee. This petition was quietly
circulated, but when it was presented
to the governor it contained the names
Of nearly all the organized workingmen
in the two cities.
Prior to the announcement Of Mr..
Williams reappointment, all sorts of
rumors were afoat as to the possibility
landing the place. Prominent among
the names mentioned was that of Viii
liam E. McEwen Of Duluth. It has
since developed that the latter was ten
dered the place, but declined upon
learning that MI. Williams could be re-
appointed providing he refused. The
action of MI. McEwen in refusing to
become an applicant for position al
ready held by union man has sent his
stock booming among the labor union
lists Of the state, who will now rally
solidly to his aid in securing an ap-
pointment as deputy surveyor Of logs

which position he has been seeking.

REF FORMERS IN SADDLE. IN
CITY OF WINNIPEG
Supporters of Ashdown Say His Election Means Re.
trenchment in Expenditures and More Efficiency
in Administrations Preponderance of Senti-
ment for Municipal Owned Telephones.

ity forecasts the solution of, the tele-
phone monopoly thruout Canada and
which in after years may be regarded
as the first blow struck against the
grasping Bell Telephone trust was the
overwhelming vote in favor of munich
pal telephone. Winnipeg is the pioneer
in the movement against that trust,
are ratepayers votes, the capital city
declared in favor of Premier Robin IS
proposal to have a system of telephones
owned and operated by the various
municipalities Of the province.
In a 1eek's time the outside munich
palities will be called upon to declare
at the polls their. opinion of the pre-
mier's policy. It is an old truth that
las goes the city SO goes the prov
regards the government telephone pol
icy. For weeks past ratepayers thru
out the province have been deluged
with literature dealing with every
phase of the telephone question from
the independent standpoint. Not to be
beaten, the Bell Telephone company has
been equally energetic in it's efforts to
influence popular opinion. Literally
tons of printed matter have been
ate. TO date the Independents have
the best of the argument
Strongly Entrenched, However. :.
The real fight will come, however,
when the legislation passed by the
province permitting the installation Of
independent systems is made provincial
law. The Bell Telephone company op-
crates under federal (Dominion)
charter giving it extensive rights and
privileges. It will fight to Che last
ditch to maintain it's present franchise.
It remains to be seen whether the pro-
vincial legislation will encroach pom
Domini on rights and be declared ultra
wires by the privy council of Great
Britain. 1t is fact that the Robin
government offered the Bell people 100
cents on the dollar for their property
in this province, and 10 per cent on the
total value thereof for good will. This
was scornfully refused, and the govern
ment now declares that it will forth
with parallel every line in the country
and sell a good service to the munich
palities at half price and get the Gus
toners from the Bell.
The next year or two will see a bit
ter fight between a. strong monopoly
and determined government insistent
on conserving the best interests of it's
people.
