Washington, Feb, 2S-Abou, the madd.st man lu town now is Dr, Brun- CT, the promoter of the Alaska Pacific Railway X Terminal company, Kqlalla up the Copper river valley. The post office department has attempt ed to blot his town of the map. An order by the depar meut discontinued the postal service to Katalla, excepting that which might be delivered there from Cordova, and in order 10 have even this service, the mail carrier must not receive a greater salary than about hali that paid to the postmaster. This would amount to about eight dol lars a week, and Os that would not be sufficient to pay mans expenses for the first day out, the postoaice was practically marked or the map, The doctor, Delegate Gale and number of other Alaskaus have been busy on the matter for several days past, and 1t is highly probable that something will be done to secure continuance of the former service.

 SIOH-A DISTINCT STEP FORWARD

The outlook for the spring aud sum- mer in Skagway has no, been so good in years as i, is today. The employ ment by the White Pass of a force of 800 men in the construction ot the ore buukers iu this city and in immediate extension of the.railroad makes on ad- dition of that number, and more, to the actual consumers. for whom th's city mus, furnish the supplies one way or another. This is in fact much, but in comparison to what it means it is but little. The work to be done by this little army of men means a permanent and material advance in :he work of forwarding the destiny of this north country, peopling it, developing it's re sources, building homes and bringing prosperity to those who have cast their fortunes here. History is about to be- giu that repetition of itself that is said to be peculiar to history.
 Ssagway and it's immediate vicinity has seen its wors, days. It went up in a sours during the period of the great s,amDa6e and fy has suffered that re- cession that the Elondikc and all Yu- kon has seen. It about to enter upon new period ot the upward trend This second period will DO, be of the rush, boom order That period has done it's work, It 5,oughs the army of pros pectOrs here, some of whom remained and dug in the earth and found that which they sought. And now those discoveries are about to be developed oa a large ana permanent scale.
 Of the big group of copper mines across the hills, for the ores contained ia which the big bunkers are about to be built here where the ships come, there is but one now in operation and that only in a dssurory way. The reason for this IS that ,he present lack Of facilities for handling the ores makes it too expensive. The building Of the railroad directly to the mines and the buildfng Of the buukers here will meet, overcome, those conditions and release the energies nee. ssary to the tevelOp- ment of the great copper deposit repre- sented under dozen different names.
 These energies are now latent in an- other army Of men anxious to work, but who are now scattered elsewhere. The work Of the little army Of railroad builders will be replaced, when i' is finished, by a permanent army Of min CTS; that army will send ore to our buukers, where another army-Smaller O be sure. but permanent-of ore hand ! lers, railroad men and ship,' crews, must be placed to receive it. This means an increase in activity and revenue iu every line of enterprise iu aud about the city. And these import i ant steps will lead 10 others. An era Of great development and renewal of activity is opening up.

wHIsKEY CAUSES QUARREL.
John A. McGilvray in Littleton Hospital
With Stab Wound in Side.

Littleton, N. H., Dec 26.--John A. Nc.
Gilvray, a woodohopper, is lying in the
Littleton hospital, in serious condition
as the result Of wound inflicted by
Frank Mcdonald, another woodchopper
with dirk knife.
The two men got into quarrel al
the Franconia house in Franconia over a
bottle Of whiskey and both are alleged
to have been under the influence OF
liquor at the time of the stsbbing. Nc
Gilvary, it seems, had quart Of whis-
key and the two men disposed of half
Of it, The other half McGilvray laid
away for safe keeping and the other
man demanded that It be, produced
McCiilvray refused and Mcdonald left
the hotel. McGilvray followed and at
short distance from the house blows
were exchanged, McGilvray being laid
out with a severe stab in his side.
McGilvray says that he did not see
any knife, but Ray Quimby, son of the
proprietor, witnessed most OF the strug-
gle, and saws he saw the knife. He
claims that Mcdonald tried to stab Me-
Gilvray near the heart, but that the lat
ter wsrded off the blow Mcdonald, he
says, first struck McGilvray over the
head with lantern and the knife thrust
followed.
The injured man was helped to the
hotel by Ray Quimby and was later hur.
ried to the hospital. 1t did not appear
that the wound would be serious at
the time, but an internal hemorrhage
developed and an ante.mortem statement
was taken BY Attorney Fletcher Hale,
which viii be used II it becomes neces-
sary.
McGilvray, in the statement, charges
Mcdonald with having inflicted the in.
jury. Mcdonald has been arrested and
Is held under $500 bonds pending Nc
Gilvray's injuries.

RESULT OF TESTIMONY
To Let Case Rest During Holidays--Re-
form League Says 1t Has Been
Promised All the Financial
Support It Needs
RESULT OF TESTIMONY

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 26.-That at
least $i76,o00 was paid councilmen for
the selection Of certain banks as de-
positories for the city's funds has been
almost established through violence
submitted and statements furnished by
the voters league and the Scranton de-
teetives employed by the league to
give Pittsbrg a municipal house clean
ing. Whether all Of the banks sell
ected as repositories contributed to this
fund has not been established. Offli.
GERS Of but one bank have so far been
arrested, and they are charged with
the payment Of only s17,500 OF the al
legged bribery fund. That other bank
ers are TO be arrested is almost posit-
lively stated by those back Of the in
evtsigation.
Mayor Guthrie, who refused TO make
contracts with the banks, as author
ized by councils. on the ground that
they were illegal, said last night that
the selection OF the repositories is void
because secured by bribery and fraud,
and that councils can set them aside
without tine formality Of court pro-
ccedings. The period for which the
repositories were selected win expire
early in February.
That other arrests are to be made
is practically admitted by all concern
ed in the case, but the present inten-
ton is to let the matter rest until
after Christmas. Detectives are still
at work, however, and If developments
make il necessary officers viii close in
upon the suspects before the time now
fixed by the league. The voters league
has been assured of all the financial
backing needed, It was stated by Vice
President II. B. English last night.
The league depends wholly upon vol
untary contributions, but Mr.. English
said any sum up to 100000 can be
obtained any time II is needed with
out effort, proffers having been made
by leading wealthy men of the city.
