Talks
 On White1orse

The Dawson News says: Willard Leroy Phelps, member of the Yukon council for Whitehorse, who arrived yesterday to attend the session, re rorts the Whitehorse district pros porous and hopeful of further rich de- veiopments. At the Royal Alexandra las1a night he said:
 "The Atlas Mining company has not started operations yet, but un- derstand every preparation is being made for the work to start up soon. The people of Whitehorse and Skag- way are sanguine. The company all ready has spent $SOO,OOO or more on equipment and the like, and the White Pass has put in railway spur ard other improvements at heavy exrense.
 "The Venus is shipping a carload oi ore daily It is a real mine and making a splendid showing.
 Tn outlying districts quite a few are busy. One outfit lef' a few days ,v for a hitherto unheard of stream, kpown as Virgin creek, taking hy- draulic equipment for installation.
 "The territory's Empire drill in the Livingstone district is understood to be scoring a success.
 Five hundred tons or more of freight is in sight to cross Laberge. RCbert Lowe, councillor, has heavy contracts for freighting over the lake, and is much needed to look after it at this time of the year, but I pre- sume he will have to come through to Dawson to attend the council.
 "The White Pass caterpillar is su cess as far as Tahkini, g miles
 om Whitehorse. This side the road is not suitable. I believe it would b. a great benefit to Yukon to have a boulevard built to the Crossing. Even if it cost $25,OOO it would be well worth the while. Greatly increas ed early travel would be captured for lower river points which other wise never would come this way.'

DIG CAR STRIKE rHREArENs.
Philadelphia street Railway Employer
Likely to Join Locomotive DuiIdore.

Philadelphia, Pa, June IL. = Local
members of the Amalgamated associa.
ton Of Street and Electric railway
employees are likely to join forces
with the striking locomotive builders
from Baldwin's locomotive works, &C.
cording to a rumor following q con.
ference between leaders Of the street
car men and heads of the organize
tions on strike at Baldwins.
Labor leaders assert that there is
a community Of interest between the
carmen and the Baldwin employees,
stating that since the recent reorgan.
ization of the locomotive company the
same financial interests are in control
Of the two companies.
The street car men some time ago
demanded that their pay be increased
from % cents to 20 cents an hour.
Their leaders. however, persuaded
them to await the reorganization Of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit com.
pany, which was then pending. When
Thomas E. Mitten of Chicago, last
week assumed the management of the
company he declared that the com.
pany could not afford the increase,
but the leaders Of the street car men
state that they believe they can con.
vince him that an increase can be
made.
The Central Labor union Endorsed
the strike at the Baldwin Locomotive
works and pledged assistance to the
strikers. National officers of the va
rious unions are here to advise the
men.

Sea Lion Actors with Gollmar Broth
ers Circus.

Captain Kent's original conception,
the wonderful group of comedy play
ing, music making and deft- juggling
seals, exhibited by the Golmar Broth
ers and performed by their trainer,
present without doubt the most unique
display Of animal training ever at
tempted. A casual glance at num-
Der of these curiously formed creatures
as they lie basking in the sunshine
one some rocky wave-w washed cliff,
which lifts its apex above the sur
rounding ocean, or perhaps as in the
distant Arctics, as they lie in wait for
food on the frigid shore-line of huge
floating mountains of ice, would lead
the onlookcr to think them the least
tractable of animals.
Nature has apparently not provided
them with symetrical limbs, with which
to move VI on land, nor has endowed
them with the advantages possessed
by the many sealiving creatures, yet
this seemingly almost helpless beast is
one of the most capable of the lower
animals as is most surprisingly shown
by the marvelously exact difficult feats
of Juggling, balancing and catching,
accomplish. d by the members of Cap
tain Kcnt's troup. while their concep-
ton OF comedy is plainly shown by the
many funny situations presented in
their human-likc exhibitions, in which
they enact actual comedy plays. That
they enjoy music is beyond question.
Captain Kent has among his troupe a
lumber of seals who actually approach
a melody III their songs, while their
performance on musical instruments.
though.not rivaling a Maestro in a
musical sense, still show them to be
interested in producing sound. Captain
Kent is the originator of this special
class of trained animal acts. While on
a cruise in the seas in the far North, a
number of years ago, Captain Kent
was ice bound for number of months
off the northeast coast of Greenland
and here, far away from the :scivilized
world, home and friends, during the
long sunless days of an Arctic winter,
he first troupe of performing seals was
perfected. While it is true that others
have since attempted to initiate his ac-
complishments, though with less than
Indifferent success, he is the originator
and SO far the only really successful
trainer of seals for exhibitonal purpos-
es, and his acts stands to day alone,
the most unique trained animal show
the world has ever seem
