SUFFRAGE IN SWEDEN

By a vote of I2O to 9S in one cham Der and l3i to 9S in the other, the Swedish Diet has enfranchised wome ! This is the most notable victory yet won for the cause of equal suffrage.
 Australia and New Zealand have equal suffrage,so has Finland, and so have some American States, but thes
 are all subordinate jurisdictions. Sweden is an independent nation and is a factor in world politics. She ha. an army and a navy. and is troubled with the industrial and social prob lens that effect the great nations.

THE TOWNSHIP TRUsTEEsHlp

About three weeks ago at a special meeting of the Skagway Chamber of Commerce a committee consisting of Messrs: Shea, Runner and Draper was appointed to investigate and re, port upon the manner in which W. w.. Boughton was conducted the trustee ship in the matter of obtaining town site patents.
 Before this committee had report ed. several sensational and ubelous attacks were made upon Mir. Bough- ton. The committee interviewed MT. Boughtou and then had a report writ, ten by a man, not a member of the committee. This report criticized Mir. Boughton and recommended a perma- nent investigating committee. which was appointed by J. M Tanner, chair man of the Chamber of Commerce.
 In the meantime, petition was circulated about town and signed by about l25 property owners. Monday night a mass meeting. rather slight ly attended. it is true. was held in Elks' hall and upon the vote of about 40 property owners. a resolution was passed asking the Land department to investigate MT. Boughton's methods.
 Mr. Boughton has never objected to an investigation. In fact he has court ed one. He wrote a letter to the town council and asked that body to fully investigate his methods. He furthermore gave them a written esti, mate of the cost of obtaining the pa. tents.
 The property owners of Skagway are certainly entitled to know just what Mir. Boughton is doing and how much they will be assessed for ob. tainiug the titles to their property. No one can object to such an inyes. tigation.
 But the fact remains that the in- vestigation against MT. Boughton was agitated and carried through almost solely by three men. Christopher Col. umbus Shea. J. M. Tanner and Rich ard Bushen jr. Every one of these men is ayowedly unfriendly to Mir. Boughtou on personal grounds and it is not too much to say that all three of these men are. and consistently have been. troublemakers and agita, tors. An investigation is all well and good. but 1t should be carried on with out the infusion of personalities and peanut politics. It is a peculiar CO., incidence that the townsite matter was let rest nearly year and then stirred up just on the eve of the ,,4r,.,fgfro1 election
 The Alaskan has been accused by Shea. Tanner and Co. of suppressing the facts. Statements to this effect are deliberate ralseboods. The Alas. kan has never suppressed any legiti- mate news concerning the townsite investigation. It has, however, re, fused to allow itself to be used as a club by men who are venting personal spite. Hence the animosity on the part of Shea and his satellites.

CONVICTED UNDER NEW LAW.
Man Arrested for Vagrancy Sent to
the Workhouse,

The first conviction under the recent
amendment of the vagrancy law was re.
corded in the Police Court today, the
case being that of Edward Chestnut, ar
rested last night on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. for begging. He was placed under
s10O bonds. in default Of which COM
mitment for sixty days in the work
house was ordered.
The new law affects beggars, suspi.
cious characters and "panhandlers" gen.
orally, and with the exception Of the
habitual drunkards and those who may
properly be charged under this particu
lar section OF the law. bonds instead OF
fines are provided. This was impossible
under the old law, and in consequence
the authorities were confronted with the
difficulty of controlling to certain ex.
tent suspicious characters through the
privilege permitted them of forfeitine
nominal sums Of collateral or being fined
amounts which they could readily pay.
Chestnut did not realize that a person
he accosted was a special policeman
The latter promptly placed him in ar
rest.

The changing of the fire gongs in the
vicinity of 14th street and Pennsylvania

men reached the scene the flames had
gained considerable headway in the rear

difficulty In fighting it. After several
lines of hose had been run up through
the front of the building and extension
ladders erected on 18th street severa
streams OF water were thrown on the
flames and they We're soon eXtinguished.

VIRGINIA LINES TIED UP.
Suburbanites Unable to Reach City
Until Late in Day.

Until Late in Day.
The people on the Virginia side of the
river who come into Washington for Of
flee every day were among the worst suf-
ferers by the storm. They had been con-
graduating themselves on living close
enough to Washington to come in and
see the parade and make a quick get
away without even having to stop over
night in the crowded town. But when the
day broke they found that for the first
time this winter the Falls Church electric
line, which runs through all the suburban
settlements as far as Fairfax Court
House, was completely out of business
There was a ground in the neighborhood
of Fairfax, and not wheel was turning
on the line. The steam cars were run
ming, but irregularly, for the wires were
down all along the line, and there was
difficulty in transmitting train orders.
Even the roads were dangerous for We
hicles, for the immense weight or snow
had broken many of the lines, and poles
carving from 80 to 100 wires were down
across the road. some people trlea 10
drive in to Washington from Falls
Church, but had to turn back. owing to
the wires that were down across the
roads
The day was beautiful but deadly in the
country. The roads were deep with sod
den snow. and the wind, blowing half a
gale, was almost too cold for horses to
travel Notwithstanding the difficulties.
the railroad from Bluemont to Washing
ton did q thriving business. heavy dou-
hle-section trains were filled with scores
of passengers waiting at every station.
and though most of them got into Wash
ington toward noon, they braved the
storm half a day of travel to make the

Animal Diseases and Man.

From the Chicago Journal
An army surgeon in the Philippines de-
clares his conviction that the old idea OF
fish diet causing leprosy has fact feun-
datIon. not on the fish diet alone. but on
a. diet of tubercular fish.
This raises the old question OF the trans
mission of tuberculosis from cattle 10 hu-
man beings. and suggests quite naturally
that varieties known to exist In various
beasts and birds, even though perhaps not
transmissihle to human beings in the same
form, may. nevertheless, cause other dis
eases not categorically identified as tuber-
cuiOsiS
The rat brings bubonic plague. the cat
carries infection from house to house. the
canary dies of consumption, Slanders
slays regiments of horses. mysterious all
u1ents attack the squirrels or the crows.
aud the prairie dog and the elk are alike
susceptible to certain epidemics.
No man can say that one or all of these
animal infections may not engender SIM
liar. or even widely different, ills in the
human race. 1t will evidently be neces-
sary to widen the scope OF comparative
pathology. and make a thorough study OF
diseases and parasites of the lower ami
mails before man can consider himself
reasonably safe.
