SEATTLE, March 15? Bulletins
have boon received here announcing
a heavy earthquake at Yokohoma,
Japan. The Japanese government
is evidently suppressing the reports.

ver, B. C.. stating tl>at a terrific
earthquake had razed many buildings
in Yokohoma. It is believed that
most of the Americans and Europeans
In tho city are safe.
"THE PLAY 'S
HE THING"
As an oases in a dreary de
sert of dances, the comedy and
band concert Riven last Saturday
evening by the Fort Seward
Dramatic club at Klks' hall
was doubly appreciated: for the play
was cleverly written and well acted
and the Twenty-second regiment band
furnished music that delighted the
most critical. A large audience was
presen* and with this encouragement
it is quite probable that Skagwaywill
get more such entertainments in the
future.
For an amatuer production. "That
Box of Cigarettes" was remarkably
well played. Every member of the
caste did well and it is hard to sing
le out any one for special mention. Dr.
Paul Hutton as Americus Vespucius
Oldboy. played the part of the crusty
old bachellor with great realism.
Capt. Haskel) made a dashing young
society man and C&pt. Simonds and
?Mr. Reid wooed and won in irresist
able fashion.
Mrs. Haskell's characterization of
the part of the maiden aunt of princ
iple. was extremely clever. Miss
Davison and Mrs. Keid made the mos
of their parts and Miss Reynolds was
a charming Ingenue.
Under the thoroughly artistic leader
ship of Mr. Leon Trusson. the Twent
second regiment band won repented
encores.
Exhibits for the A.-Y.-P exposition
from foreign countries are arriving in
Seattle. Suitable exhibits for exposi
tion purposes are entered under boud
for exportation after the close of the
fair.
CHARGED WITH
SELLING HOOCH
Warren K. Craig of Haines was ar
rested Saturday at that town b>
Deputy U. s. Marshal McLean, charg
ed with soiling liquor to Indians,
brought to Skagway on the Urge, and
lodged in the federal jail.
I lis preliminary examination is go
ing on thi -< afternoon before U. s.
Commissioner LeFevre.
In case udJge LeFevre decides
that the evidence is sufficient, Craig
will be bound over to await the act
ion of the grand jury. Under the
new law a conviction for selling li
quor to Indians may result in a two
year penitentiary sentence.
