SETTLES ITi
Skagway Will Observe Two
Days
At the meeting of the Fourth of
July committee last night it whs de-,
cided to divide the celebration of In
dependence Day, though all the spoHs,
including the baseball, hose races, (|ut
races, and all the other fleld events *Sll
will take place Saturday, July 2 uMon
which day all ihe prize raonev wllljabe
distributed. The literary exercuis,
including the oration, the rcadin^mf ,
the Declaration of Independence arytf a
patriotic song service, and such oii r
events as may be decided u|?n lifer,
probably including a dance at Elks Ball
in the evening, will take place Morijay,
July 4.
The reasons assigned for having the
sports and other events in which young
Americi and those of other towns are
particularly interested were those
which were canvassed before the
sel ctton of the Fourth of July com
ra'ttee, that is a desire to bring large
excursions which could be better
secured on Saturday than on Monday .
It is believed that it will be pntsible
to get a baseball team from June$n or
Douglas and probably from both towns
on Saturday. This will bo all the.more
likely to be the result because |hose
towns desire the attendance of the
Skagway baseball players down ^iere
Monday, July 4.

$r. PETERSBURG IK SfAIt
or GREAT ANXIETY
Battle Which Will Determine Fate of Camp
aign in Manchuria is Expected to Take
Place Any Moment
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.]
St. Petersburg, June 9.? The reports
of sorties and attacks upon Port Arthur,
coming from foreign sources, have
caused the liveliest interest here. The
government, not having means of com
munication with the fortress, adepts
the reports with relfcrve. The anthor
ities generally believe the reports from
Port Arthur of the march of events at
that place are too rapid for truth.
The tension over the situation at the
theater of war is increasing. The gen
eral staff is becoming more reticent
and the public is convinced that an im
portant battle which may decide the
fate of the campaign is impedding.
The engagements of the outposts of
the main armies under Gen. Kuropat
kin and Gen. Kuroki have suddenly
ceased. Such a lull frequently occurs
with armies just before they are ready
to strike a blow with all their pent up
strength.
