 NcGahan was the correspondent who first described Co Europe the Bulga. lau atrocities. What a brilliant crea. ture he was, with his steel blue eyes, bis face as delIcately chiseled as though 1t were of marble, his 1.-the Hght frame and that suggestion of ab- solute courage, iron resolve, under meath the almost feminine tmlness Of the features. He was one 0t the n. inmates oF Scobeler-indeed, the men were SO attached to each other that Scobeled' nearly always insisted that NIcGahRu should share hls tent with him. and McGahan was in the tent of scobelen the night after the disRs- trous assault on Plevua. Scobelcd was. said McGUhan, a wonderful pic ture of the horrors ana terrOrs of war His face was black with powder his uniform was in rags, and his sword was twisted like a corEscTew. It Is evident from this description that Sec beleff took part with hls own hand in some Of the work of the day. There was a sequel, by the way, to this pic, ture. l am not quite sure whether McGahau published It, but be told h to me. ScobeleT was always a dandy Even In leading a charge he was dress ed with daudlcal precision. In the middle of the night McGahau was woke up. and be saw Sco6eleT dress Ing himself with great care, putting on a new uniform and even pertaining his hair and clothes. And then came another transformation.

Railway Mail Service Would
 Give Mail

VA. Graves, chjet clerk in the rail- vay mail service, with headquarters
 Pos city, and R. A. Whiting, occu- u. .the same position in Seattle, are dgag what they can to better the Southeastern Alaskan mail service. Both of them understand fully the i'm proveneut that would follow if the Humboll. were made 8 mail carrier and they are working to have it so, The matter is uov tn the hands ,of Superintendent Stephens ol the rail way mail service and early action is expected.
 In the last mail AIr. Graves received 0 letter from Mr. Whiting which cNpnins several things in connection with this m,y.er iu which the people are not 8 lltue concerned.
 Mir Whiting says.
 ,I beg Co sckaOw ledge the receipt of voar letter of May llsh, relative to mail service On steamer Humboldt, and in reply vii. say that when this matter was ap for consideration, the case was no. h.udled by this office and l am therefore uot thoroughly familiar with the circumstances. l have reisrrcd gour letter to toSuperinJendenl Stephens, wh1 can DO doubt explain the matter to you fully.
 "I will s.ate however, that iJ has been my understanding that the Hum bo,ds Steamship Co.,, could have had he service aJ the same compensation per trip as the Alaska Steamship Co.,, had they been willing to execute a four wears contract. I will also state that the Huubo-i. Steamship Co., has never to uy suoyIede submitted 8 proposition to handle the mail for nothing, as would be inferred from newspaper clipping forwarded with your former letter ou this subject.
 .,Eour tormer reques; for intorma ion on this su1jsct was forwarded to Superintendent. Stephens on April 23d, and three days later ! submitted to him a statement showing the advantage Of hav.uE mal service on the Hum 5old., under the schedules of saiiiugs for the companies for the summer, which were received at about that time.
 "The present schedules for the two companies show departure from Seattle every two or three days, for the steamers Dolphin, Jefferson, City Of Seattle and Humboldt, each company having 8 s4utug every five days No two steamers are scheduled Go leave on the same day. and there Is at least one days interval between the sailings Of the steamers mentioned and the Cottage City. The advantage Of hay ing mail service on all these steamers is therefore apparent, as iJ would be frequent aud at regular intervals
