ssruAruon IN TAMPA u SERIOUS

The so-called election In Tampa by
the striking cigarmakers, to decide
whothor or not they should return to
work. seems TO have been . farce. The
election was to have been by secret
ballot, but almost without exception
the voters marked their ballots In
view oI the strikers committees. The
vote was Overwhelmingly In favor Of
eoatinuing the strike.
The Tampa Tribune charges that
the voters were 30 intimidated by the
labor agitators that they were afraid
20 express their sentiments. 1t also
claims that hundreds Of families OF
the strikers are In want. and that
many are on the verge Of starvation.
In view Of the attitude taken by the
Tribune. and the many acts OF vio-
lonco committed among the Italian
element Of Tampa In the last few
years. the flYs In the Tribune office

At the beginning Of the campaign.
it was not believed by many that
Broward had much of a chance. but
again he proved that his strength was
underestimate, and in the first pri-
mary he ran ahead Of Senator ITALIA
ferro, by less than 100 votes.
The second primary was a battle
royal, there being a great deal Of bit
terness between the followers Of the
two candidates, though comparatively
little between the principals them
selves.
When the votes were counted IL was
found that Broward had won by q
comfortable majority, and the ambi-
tion Of his lifetime had been realized.
and the goal which he sought had
been won. only to lay down his life
before he was able to enjoy the fruits
OF the well-earned victory.

his progressive work. made some enc

lofty aims and his consistency along

How He First Won World Wide Fame
In 1895. he again became connected

tended the building Of this tug. In
1896. he was captain of the steamer

at this time and experienced many
thrilling episodes. In 1904 he became
a candidate for governor, before the
democratic primaries, having as his
opponent Hon. Robert W. Davis of
Palatka, former member Of Congress.
and one Of Palatka's most brilliant
men. His defeat Of Davis created a
great deal Of surprise. as Broward's
strength had been greatly underesti-

TO his determination.

HORRORS OF THE ARCTIC.

Terrible Experience of ths Crew of tho
 lll Fated Jeannette.
 When Ross in ISIS touched at Etah the Esks thought they were being yis- lted by ghosts. With her white sails appearing on che horizon, where the sky melts Into an abyss of ocean, what else could the ship be but some great white winged ghost and what those strange creatures on her decks but lost souls? They thought she, a great bird. had flown from the moon, where wood was abundant and when they saw her close, her wooden belly and her maSts, they whispered, How much wood there Is in the moon-how very muchr' Wood Is like gold to the Esks.
 One of the unhappy crew of the Jeannette writes: "l put some mercury to freeze and beat 1t out on the anvil. Our frozen brandy looked like black topaz. We divided meat, oil and bread with a hatchet.

THE WHEATON QUARTZ MINES,

The discovery of lodges of rich gold bearing quartz in the Wheaton valley Is a matter of prime importance to skagway. If the quartz which Mir. Porter has uncovered is as rich as the first assays seem to show it is a certainty that these mines wu soon be developed.
 Once worked on a big scale these prospects would be a source of con. stant income to Skagway, as this town would be the shipping entre pot for supplies. laborers and ma chinery. Quartz mines are better for the permanent welfare of a town than placer properties. Skagway needs some such property in the cOntin- gent territory and there is every in d.cation that the Wheaton valley pro- perties are the real thing.
 In speaking of quartz mines it is appropos to mention the quartz devel- opmeut at Dawson. Judging from re- cent reports rich quartz has been found there. If this proves the case it will settle once and for all the questions of the permanence of Daw- son, and the commencement of a quartz camp at Dawson will help skagway immeasurably.

The results of the libel indictments brought by the last grand jury are just what might have been expected. It is doubtful if any one of the art icles which the grand jury perused constituted criminal libel. To say the least the grand jury acted with unwarranted zeal.
 The government was put to heavy expense in prosecuting the trials and all the individuals indicted are out for attorney fees and other expenses. The whole affair would be rarcical, were it not that grave injustice has been perpetrated upon the men who were indicted,

THE WINTER MAIL SERVICE.

During the winter when usually there are but three vessels on the seattle-vapeouverskagway run per iod of about five days is bound to elapse between the coming of the boats that bring mail and express. This is a hardship to the people of Skagway, Halnes and the interior towns. as most of our business is transacted by mail and many times it Is impossible to get a letter off by the same boat that brings a cOmmun- icatlon requiring an immediate reply.
 To make matters worse two of the boats on the run reach port at prac- tlcally the same time, so that really six or seven days elapse between the mail coming. Business does not warrant the placing of more boats on the Skagway run in winter, but it is unfortunate that the sailings are so scheduled that six or seven days in- stead of four or five separates the mail arrival from the outside
 Complaints have been numerous this winter and the matter should be brought to the attention of the postal authorities at Washington and Ottawa in an effort to secure a change in the schedules, for there is little doubt but that the government could take some action. as the vessels concern ed carry mail under contract which goes far to recompense them the ex- pense of the winter sailings.
 The skagway Commercial club should take the matter up at the next meeting. It is a question which vit- ally concerns not only the people of Skagway but those of whitehorse and Dawson and other interior towns, while Halnes and Juneau suffer like wise. Doubtless the commercial bod ies in these towns would cooperate with Skagway in an effort to change the existing conditions.
