1t is downright foolishness for om
government to give German prison
ers the same pay our own officers and
soldiers receive. It is true, our gov
eminent promised at the Hague to
observe such a policy, but Germany
having broken every rue laid down at
the Hague, the United States is not
bound to follow them in regard to
German soldiers.

Juneau, Jan. 18-The bodies of II. w. R. Holmes and Dan Gallagh- CT were brought to Juneau last night on the mine tender Chtcagoff, the two men having been asphyXiat- ed through 'inhaling exhaust gas from the engines of the boat whil bound from Juneau to Chicagoff last Saturday night.
 Four other men were overcome b he fumes, but recovered after they had been placed in the fresh air and first aid methods applied. The four other men were left at Chicha- golf mine, where they are recover ing under the care of Dr. Moore, he company physician.
 The accident was caused by some one, unknown, leaving the drain cocks on the radiatcr in the fore castle of the boat open which al- lowed the fumes to escape in the cabin. The exhaust gases from the engine are used to heat the boat and as it was a cold morning last Sunday, it is thought that some of the men sleeping in the forecastle opened the cock to allow the dead air to escape and to make better circulation through the radiator, EVi dently whoever turned the cock on forgot to turn it off and the es- caping gases filled the room with poisonous fumes.
 The Chicagoff left Juneau at 11:35 o'clock on Saturday night with several passengers, including Tom Banbury, making the round trip, and the six men going to the mine to work.
 In discussing the accident, Captain Rasmussen said:
 We left Juneu Saturday nig' f, the 14th of January at 11:35 o'clock. There were six passengers aboarl down forward and I was talking to one who was going out tc cook at 5:45 o'clock Sunday morn ing. He was on dock then. We had breakfast at Il o'clock. After

FRISCO HAS COAL FAMINE

San Francisco, Jan. 1S-Owing to a shortage of freight cars, as claim ed by the Railroads operating into this city, a coal famine exists here.
 For some time the dealres in fuel have been raising the prices of coal until it is almost at a pro hib:tive price. The managers of the Railroads claim that they have in sufficient cars to h; nd'e the immerse &mouut of tonnage that is being of fercd throughout the middle and western states
 WHer transpo. tatiOn companies are not handling as much coal as usual, owing to the fact that it re- quires more time to load and un- lead a cargo of coal than maNy other commodities which are being offered, and in addition to this Gactcr, the steamship companies are uuahll to get the coal from the mines to the docks.

gard to railroad earnings and

body is in position to give in
telligent consideration to the
request of the roads for in
creased rates. 1t may be as
sumed that they have done so
and that the plea for hori-

allowed an increase in class
