 vSaS2af ducted through the columns of
 the Hearst papers, does not seem to be stirring the city to any ma .terial degree, despite flaming red head lines and names that are not without influence in the religious world
 It has been freely commented upon that this campaign was held in abeyance until after the championship heavyweight bout had been fought out at Madison Square Garden. In fact. the first intimation that such campaign was on, came on the morning following that prize fight. Since then another championship bout has been fought here, and was well attended. Deep in the hearts of many New York CTS lies realization that the prize ring, after all, is not so brutal a place as the stock exchange, for instance and ,:tner places where great commercial bat ties are fought which often result in taking away from many contestants, money health, morals ahd even life itself and all it's hopes of heaven. The merci- less crushing of the weak by the strong. in the world of finance, is generally con- ceded to be more bestial than the knock ing out of one healthy athlete by an- other After such a battle there is in most cases only a light bruise or so to show for it on the following day, put the wounds inflicted upon the fellow who is knocked out on the market often kill him and infect his family with their deadly poison as well.
 However, it is not my intention to con- duct single handed fight against the financial knockout men. It is. rather, brought out to show that New York city is a natural battle ground. Good lighting

Seward, Alaska. lMYG WANT to give you some pie @ I lures of Seward, the New 741%o6H York of Alaska. It is the G.:Sys.1 terminus of Uncle Sans new
 railroad, and it will be the great ocean port of the future. It's cit izens are already comparing it with stockholm, the capital of Sweden, Which has almost 100000 inhabitants Ihey claim it's location is similar, and that it will be the gateway to resources equal to those of the four Scandina- vian countries. They point out that Norway. Finland, Sweden and Den- mark, Which are in the same latitude ana nave much the same climate have population of over 12,00o.000. They say that Alaska will some day have 2o,000,0o0, and that Seward will be it's chief port.
 Two years ago not one man in a hun- dred could have told where Seward is located, and l venture that nine- -tenthS of those who are reading this letter will have to go to a map to lind out It is on the great gulf of Alaska, at about the middle of the southern coast of the territory. It is at the lower end
 
 from Ketchikan, where the Seattle steamers first call, as the distance be- tween New York and Cleveland, and it is only a little farther than that to the Unimak pass of the Aleutian Isl- ands, through which the ships go on their way from Seattle to Nome.
 Seward is six days by steamer from the Puget sound ports. It is about as far from Seattle as from New York to Sioux City or Omaha and the fare is $45. When the new railroad is com pleted it will be less than 500 miles from the terminums at Fairbanks, from where steamers can go via the Panama and Yukon to a great part of the in terior of Alaska.
 The harbor of Seward is Resurrec- tion bay a magnificent inlet, whose waters are surrounded by mountains and so guarded by islands that here, in the midst of this region of terrible storms, the ships lie as quiet and safe as they do inside the docks of Ham, burg and Liverpool.
 But let us take a birds-eye view of the harbor and town I have come from the wharves and tramped through the business and residence sections to the foot of the wall of the great noun tain that rises straight up on .one side of Resurrection bay. I have climbed the wall, making my way through the moss and pulling myself from one tree root to another until I now hang high above the town and harbor, Writing these notes.
 The wall is precipitous It rises straight above Seward to height or
