SKAGUAY AND DYEA. In the Hands of Gamblers, Thugs and Lewd Women. THE AUTHORITIES POWERLESS TO ACT. Valuable Mining Properties Held by Min era Against the Receiver-Native Freight Handlers Attacked and Beaten-Troops Wanted. W&ASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Secretary Bliss is in receipt of a letter from Gov. John G. Brady, of Alaska, descriptive of the lawless condition of affairs at bkaguay and Dyea. t,;was referred tc at the cabinet meeting yesterday when Alaskan affairs were under discussion, and was considered sufficient justifica tion by the members for the dispatch of the additional military force al ready authorized to be sent to Alaskan territory. The following is a copy of the let ter: "News from Skaguay by the steam boat now in port is serious. The United States deputy marshal has beer shot dead in the discharge of his duty. Another man was killed at the same time and place. Recently the steam ers have been carrying great lists ot passengers, many of these gamblers. thugs and lewd women from the worst quarters of the cities of the coast They have taken in the situation at Skaguay and Dyea and appear to have combined to carry everything with a high hand. The best people at these places are powerless because they have no municipal form of government. The United States marshal is powerless because he can appoint only a few dept uties, and when they undertake to act they are singled out as targets by this ruffianly element. One of this class was tried in the United States district court last December for the killing of United States Deputy Marshal Watt, in January, 1897, and was acquitted in the face of positive testimony. In fact, these influences seem to be joined hand in hand and will surely go unpunished unless the government takes immediate action and provides the necessary force at Skaguay, Dyea and other points. Congress should grant immediate relief so both naval and military officers can act when re quested by the cival authorities. The United States marshal should have a patrol vessel at his command with necessary accomodations for eight or ten deputies and a proper armament. I do not see how he can perform his duties as executive officer of the court &nless he has such means of locomo tion always entirely at his own com mand. "At the present time a large and im poetant mmiing property is held by a Sasmberofminersat Berner'sbay. This property was recently placed in the hands of areceiver by the court, but to date the receiver has not ome-into pos session. In this instance thereis much to be said infavor of the mineri! action asid their self-contiol, but it is of such a nature that violence may be the re .slt. The marshal has no means of reaching that point with a sufficient force to carry out the instructions of the court. Judge Johnson leaves by this boat to settle this affair amicably if possible. "Two weeks ago, or a little more, a gang of men commanded Capt. Patter son, of the steamship Alki to discharge the natives who were handling the freight on the wharf. They attacked these natives and beat them cruelly in the face of the deputy marshal. The captain was obliged to compromise with them by paying them 50 cents per hour for work on the wharf, but he in sisted that the natives should work on the vessel. "I am sorry to report that the court bouse at Juneau has been burned to the ground. "ISo far the winter has been remarka ble for mildness, and this tends to bring the crowds sooner than they were expected." The letter was dated February 3& MUST PAY THE WARRANTS. reversal of a Former Decision Affectin One Millon Dollars. CmcAoo, Feb. 19.-A. B. Nicol, of Chicago, formerly cashier of the Union savings bank of Tacoma, Wash., re ceived word yesterday of the reversal by the supreme court of the state of of Washington of a former decision af fecting over $1,000,000 of Tacoma city warrants. The previous dicision held that the warrants had been cancelled, and therefore could not be. paid, and as the Union Savings bank held s250,000 of the warrants it was compelled to sus pend. The decision, according to Mr. Nicol, will compel the payment of the warrants, several -hundred thousand dollars of which are held in Philadel phia, New York and other eastern cities.

Appeal to Constitutlonal Conventlom. A body of ladies appeared before the suffrage committee of the constitution al convention, the other day, and urged that the franchise be extended in some shape to them in the construction of the new constitution. They were given a respectful hearing, but the sentiment of the members of the convention is against woman suffrage, and the move ment has but little chance of succeed ing. Hotel at Many Burned. The two-story hotel of M. A. B. Davis, at Many, was destroyed by fire. Noth ing was saved whatever, the inmates barely escaping without injury. The loss is about $1,500, fully insured.

From the Republican, Versailles, Ind. The Tuckers, of Versailles, Ind., like all fond parents, are completely wrapped up in their children. Their daughter Lucy, in particular, has given them much concern. She is fifteen, and from a strong, healthy girl, three years ago, had become weak and kept falling off in flesh until she became a mere skeleton. She seemed to have no life at all. Her blood became impure and finally she became the victim of nervous prostra tion. Doctors did not help her. Most of the time she was confined to bed, was very nerv ous and irritable, and seemed on the verge of St. Vitus' dance. "One morning," said Mrs. Tucker, "the doctor told us to give her Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which he brought with him. He said he was treating a similar case with these pills and they were curing the pa tient. We began giving the pills and the next day could see a change for the better. The doctor came and was surprised to see such an improvement. He told us to keep yiving her the medicine. We gave her one pill after each meal until eight boxes had been used when she was well. She has not been sick since, and we have no fear of the old trouble returning. We think the cure almost miraculous." FRANK TUCKER. MRS. FRANK TUCKER.

TOO OBLIGING. A Housemaid's Effort to Please and Its Disappointing Result. A young woman, whose home is in St. Paul, spent a few days in Washington the guest of a congressional family from New Eugland. She had just returned from a six months' tour of Europe, and the travel ing bag she carried was plastered over with steamer labels and stamps of half the famous hotels on the continent. She is not an ostentatious person, by any means, the St. Paul girl, but she certainly did set great store by that decorated bag, and gazed with pride on its collection of labels. Her charm of manner and the liberality of her tips, too, perhaps, completely won the heart of the trim New England housemaid of the congressional family. On the morning of the guest's departure for St. Paul the maid ap peared at the door of her room, wreathed with smiles and holding the traveling bag in her hand. "Here's your valise, miss," she said, glee fully. " had some trouble with it, and it took quite a little soaking; but I knew you wouldn't want to start off with all those tags pasted all over it. I got 'em all off for you, and the valise just looks brand new." And if you want to see a striking example of rage too deep for speech you have only to speak of New England neatness in the presence of one young woman from St. Paul.--Washington Post. He Needed a Chaperone. Just before a recent dinner given in honor of some magnate, a young swell, whose chief claim to distinction seemed to be the height of his collar and an eyeglass, addressing a stranger, said: "Beastly nuisance, isn't it? Spoke to that fellah over there-took him for a gentleman -and found he had a ribbon on his coat; some blooming head waiter, I suppose?" "Oh, no," replied the other; "that's Blank, the guest of the evening." "Dash it all, now; is it?" said the aston ished swell. "Look here, old fellow, as you know everybody, would you mind sitting next me at dinner and telling me who every one is?" "Should like to very much," replied the other man. "but you see I cannot. I'm the blooming head waiter!"-San Francisco Argonaut. Golf Legally Deened. Just before the rising of the law courts a case involving the playing of golf was heard, and a queens counsel engaged in it thus described for the instruction of the judge the ancient and royal game: "I believe, my lord, that the game of golf is played in ir regular fields or waste grounds with a small ball which the player tries to hit with a stick. If he succeeds in hitting the ball he spends the remainder of the day in looking for it. That, as I am informed my lord, is the game of golf."--London Telegraph.

"Well, she never received it. I thought it was queer she didn't answer, and so I wrote again, and her reply came to-day. George, did--you-mail-that letter?" "Yes, darling, cross my heart." "There," she exclaimed, throwing her arms around his neck, and standing on tiptoe to kiss him, "I knew you did! I be lieve you when you look at me that way and say yes.
