Johnnie Walker Was Here With Many of Family; Continued to Skagway

Johnnie Walker from Scotland last night but owing to customs regulations was forced to remain aboard his vessel, the Princess Royal. He was accompanied by many Of his family and numerous rela- tives, some very distant and of the Rye He will leave the ship under guard at Skagway.
 Eighty tons of whiskey and other liquor composed the bulk of the cargo of the Princess Royal The shipment is one that had accumu- lated at Vancouver awaiting release so that it could travel in bond through United. States territory to it's final destination in Yukon Ter ritory. The order for release came short time ago and the shipment will do much to relieve the mon- otony of the long Yukon winter.
 The Princess Royal last night was more of treasure ship than many of the boats that started the Yukon rush. The eighty tons of whiskey on the boat if retailed in Juneau at the popular price of fifty cents drink would be worth $4O5,760 In the eighty tons it is estimated that there were 1,280 cases. In each case there is 12 bottles or a total of 25,360. These retailed at the con- servative price of $10 bottle would bring slightly more than a quarter of a million dollars or $253,600 AL lowing for the bartender to treat once in a while there should be at least 32 drinks in bottle. These drinks retailed at fifty cents each would make each bottle retail for S16 clear. which would place the value of the shipment to the ulti- mate consumer of Juneau at $405,760.
 In each bottle there is at least two headaches which would give a grand total of 50,720 headaches for the shipment. Every other case should contain at least one pink snake or horned toad which should bring a collection of at least $40 reptiles. These reptiles if placed end to end woud reach from the city wharf to the Gastineau Hotel

Declaring that he believed that waiting too long for her money and that if it was possible the cour, would aid her in getting it, Judge R W. Jennings this morning took the Sheelor-Smith writ of mandamui case under advisement without an nouncing any time for his decision Two points, it was intimated. are be ing considered by the court; one as to whether or not the mandamus ac- tiOn is the proper procedure and the other whether or not a mandamus can issue directing the Territorial Treasurer to pay warrants issued by the Secretary of the Territory.
 The court told Attorney r. l.. Faulkner, representing Mrs. Sheelor that he did not care to hear any ar gument on the question of the propri- ety of Governor Thomas Riggs ac the petitioner from the emergency appropriation He was convinced, he said. that under the law, such ac- tion was proper. The defendant, he said, might present arguments on the adverse view if it was so desired It is no part of the Treasurer's duty or function, he added to decide Wha' constitutes an emergency. The di rection of the Governor is all that is needed for the formers guidance.

varOff in communication received by The Empire, Lieutenant Terril it is stated, came to Alaska many years after the events described ir the article mentioned. He was sta tioned at Sitka on a revenue cutter and married Miss Kate Delaney. I daughter of Judge A. K. Delaney
 Commenting on the story of the duel, Rev. Kashevaroff in his com municatiOn stated:
 'At the time of the transfer of Alaska from Russia to the United States in 1867, General Rousseau with a section of the l.. s. army, was sent to Sitka to receive the ceded territory as the agent of the govern ment of the United States. Among the officers of his staff were two young men-Lieutenan Livermore of the artillery branch and Lieutenant Denny of the infantry service. Both were of prominent families in the East, young, handsome and gallant LivermOre was Swarty and robust Denny. the opposite and nervous There were then living at Sitka many fair Russian ladies and among the number one very attractive girl q daughter of music teacher. Let us call her Anna. Both officers fell deeply in love with this lady and both proposed marriage. Denny was rejected and Livermore accepted After a bitter quarrel a duel was fought in a bay just across from the town of Sitka in which Livermore was killed. Afterwards Lieutenant Denny again asked for the hand of the beautiful Anna and was again refused Soon after this Lieutenant Denny committed suicide, leaving a letter in which he told the sad de tails of the duel, saying that Lieuten ant Livermore was not killed by ac cident while hunting as narrated at the time of his death. but in a duel for the hand of the Russian beauty
 Both of the officers are buried at the Military Cemetery at Sitha.'

DETAILS OF DUEL ARE RETOLD BY PIONEER;
 ERROR IS CORRECTED

That it was not Lieutenant Terril but a Lieutenant Denny, of the U. $ Infantry, who was implicated in T duel at Sitka in the first year Of American possession of Alaska, is the statement made by Rev A. P. Kashe varoff. An article in The Empire of September 2 last, carried the story of the duel in which it was stated that Lieut.. B. w. Livermoro was killed by Lieutenant Terril
 This was erroneous and the cor rection was made by Rev. Kashe

SATISFIED WITH THE SAR0NG
Women Of ceyIon Refuse to Worry
Over the DEGREES Put Forth by
Dame Fashion.

The women OF Ceylon do not bow
the knee to Dame Fashion. but are
content with the sarong-one long
strip OF cotton wound round the
body-which Is all most Of the women
Of .Kandy wear. The sarong was all
that the majority of women asked in
the. days when Randy formed the back
ground for the pageantry Of an orr
entail court. Handy was the last
stronghold OF the Singalese rulers.
Portuguese and Dutch tried In vain
to sdhdue the city and the little noun
tain kingdom; but the way to Handy
was through Harrow passes, surround
ed by. jungles. Many lives were lost
In vain assaults. For 20 years after
the British took Ceylon the last king
Of Handy successfully resisted inva-
sion. Finally, in 1915, he was cap
tured and sent into exile. The tenn.
pies and palaces and royal tombs OF
Randy speak Of the old days of splen-
did show. But they are silent con-
corning the intrigue and treachery and
cruelty and extortion that blackened
the last years Of Singaiese rule in
Ceylon. Those dark years are forgot
ten, now. Life runs smoothly under
wise government.

FARMER BROWNS
IN CHESTER POND

Chester, July 10.-Paul Dunlap, a
well known young. planter of Del
phia, in York county, was drowned
this afternoon in Guys pond near
Chester. He was 27 years of age
His wife was on the bank and wit
messed the drowning. 1t is thought
that he went in bathing too soon after
eating dinner and that death was
caused by acute indigestion rather
than cramps. He leaped into the wa
ter and swan about SO feet and was
coming back. When he got within
about Is feet of the bath house ne
screamed for help, which was quickly
forthcoming, but his helper could do
nothing for him and he was was near
ly drowned in the effort to save him.
Mr.. Dunlap was highly esteemed
throughout Chester and York counties
and his death has caused profound
sorrow. He was a son of Thomas
Dunlap, a prominent York county
planter.

Poets Of the Sea.

1t seems that the sea is an Anglo
Saxon heritage. English literature re-
fleets 1t, and its moods have ever been
portrayed in English verse To the
North, the Scottish bards sang Of their
own wild headlands and skerries, to
the South, the Devons followed Drake
and Frobisher to the Seven Seas.
Surprisingly, some i'of the worlds
greatest poems are epi"s of open wa
Ter. The Odyssey, for instance, and
the Aeneid. In those days, Greece
and Rome were the maritime nations
Of the earth. and their romance OF
conquest and of commerce found
ready expression in their literature.
Nowadays, the Anglo-Saxons hold the
shipping Of the seas, and sea songs
seem as inevitable to English poets
and to some Americans-as roman
tic rondels and sonnets did to the
old Gallo school.-Christian Science
Monitor.

EIyina Gas Cloud.

A cloud of glowing gas has been
discovered flying through space at
speed of 1.125 miles per second.
Readers may be relieved to know
that it is travelling away from us, but
even if it were coming our way there
would be nothing TO fear, as many
thousands. perhaps millions, of years
mist elapse before it could reach us.
How 1t manages TO remain intact
while travelling at such a dizzy speed
is a mystery. Equally mysterious is
the manner in which it was able to
get up such a speed.
The most probable explanations are
that it has been shot from some si-
gantic sun belonging to a universe OF
stars far beyond those we can see. or
that it is a gradual accumulation OF
gas or gases which ultimately will be
formed into stars such as we see
around us at night.
