The obnoxious activities of the -four younger members of the party had become so notorious wherever, and upon wholnever they have had orcasiCn to inflict them aelyes, it was not surprising they had the whole of the observation ear to themselves when the train pulled out f Skagway, notwith- standing t1at there were nearly a hundred people who went over the line at the same time they did.

 The early days of Skagway and the magic name of "Soapy' Smith, whose lonely grave, marked with a plain wooden headboard, lies in the tangled undergrowth of the wildwood dell that stretches from the foot of Reid's falls to the eastern bank of the Skagway river, are themes of never-ending in- terest to home people as well as to the transient visitor and the stran- ger sojouruing temporarily in our midst, and hence it is that any reminescent reminder of the stir ring times of 1897-S is listened to by them with bated breath and close attention.

WASHINGTON, d. C., March 12-Officials
of the American government have decided that
the time to be allowed the German raider Prinz

shall remain an official secret. Whether or not
the vessel is to be informed probably will not be

believed to be at least three weeks.
when the German gunboat Geier put into
Honolulu, a japanese cruiser kept UP a night
and day vigil outside the harbor; and Great
Britain, through its ambassador here, repeated

would be given the vessel to make repairs.
Information was refused, however, ON the
ground that to reveal it would be to inform the
waiting hostile cruisers and deprive the Geier
of the usual opportunity afforded under the

IF the EiteI decides not to intern, but to re-

the hour of her departure. The belief prevails
in official quarters that the vessel eventually
will intern, although the decision of the com
mander to have the repairs made has been
puzzling. g
