JUNEAU IS NOT ALL
In urging the people of Juneau to
participate in the convention to be held
in Seattle next week, the Juneau Dis
patch says:
"It is all right to have pride and re
sent the fact that Juneau was not the
scene of the convention, but it i9 never
wise tc refuse to cc -operate with the
other citizens in such a gathering."
? Wh; re?en: the fact that Junsau was
not selected for the "convention? Ju
neau ha* no more right to claim
Alaskan conventions than Skagway, or
Ketchikan, or Douglas, or Sitka or any
other Alaskan town. It is all right to
ask that these conventions be held in
Alaska. They should be here, but
there is more than one town in Alaska,
and the sooner that fact shall be realiz
ed at Juneau the better it will be for
that town.
That the president *ill have a hard
row to hoe in his efforts to recure legis
lation which he has beea advocating for
some time is becoming more and more
evident. Recently Senator Foraker
declared in farorof a "stand pat" policy.
He opposes tariff reform or railroad
regulative legislation. Senator Klkins
has now joined forces with Senator
Foraker. but he has added to the list of
things for which he will stand pat a
continuation of the Chinese exclusion
law. Let us give thanks for the addi
tion, even though we do suspect it is
made for the purpose of securing sup
port amon;; Pocitic Coast senators for
the penera! plan of opposition to the
presidents.
The New York republicans refused
to endorse the candidacy of William
Travers Jerome for prosecuting attor
ney of New York. They nominated
Charles A. Flammer, a well known law
yer. The democratic nominee is for
mer Assisistant i'rosecuting Attorney
James W. Osborne, who won farae as
the prosecutor of Albert T. Patrick,
slayer of Millionaire R:ce, and Mol
lineux. who was granted a new trial
after a conviction and was acquitted.
"That fatuous newspaper ass," is the
way the Seattle Post-Intelligencer re
fers to the Spokane Spokesman-Review.
If he does not have a care one of these
days Krastus Brainerd will throw one
too many of those violent fits and
Brother Wilson will be looking for a
new editor.

{Original.]
One morning several years ago two
young men? Turovtsuin anil Dronskl
were sitting in Dronski's room In War
saw, Russian Poland, hatching revo
lution. Suddenly there were footsteps
on the stairs and in another moment
the door was thrown open and the po
lice rushed In. Turovtsuin nodded
toward I>ronskt and the police arrest
ed him. As they were taking him
away he reproached Turovtsuin with
having betrayed liitn, wherenp >n tin
latter remarked coolly that t!ie:e was
no betrayal, since he was simply doing
his duty as an officer In the see-ret
service. Dronskl was sent to Siberia,
where, after intolerable suffering*, he
tiled of prison consumption.
Several years after Dronski's arrest,
while Turovtsuin, who was now chief
of police In ltusalan Poland, was rid
ing In his carriage In Warsaw, a man
fired a shot at him. At the moment a
girl who stood by the would be assas
sin knocked up the weapon and saved
Turovtsuin' s life. The man who fired
the shot was spirited away by accom
plices so quickly that the police did
not even get on his track. The chief
saw the whole affair and directed that
the girl be sent to his office. When
she arrived there he said to her:
"You arc a brave g rl to have inter
fered with an assassin, and I owe you
my life. What can 1 do to repay
you?"
"Please, excellency, I would like to
serve the government"
"In what capacity?"
"In the secret service. I have many
friends among the revolutionist ?, who
consider me one of them. I could
k-irn much of their plans and report
tl em to you."
"You shall have every opportunity.
n;:d for every ruble you earn I will
SC3 that you are paid ten."
The girl, who gave her name as
Y.irenka Arkadyevna. from that mo
ment enrolled in the secret police,
w'aere she served for a long while, of
ten bringing In information of the revo
lutionists. There was a singular per
sonality about her that fascinated
Turovtsuin. At times he thought she
loved him. and at times she acted as
If she hated him. There arc few men
?who will not be caught by such un
e rtalnty. Turovtsuin fell desperately
lu love with her,
Yarenka's bravery, to*, was f .scln.:t
Ir.j to her lover. Sue told iiii i that
h: r real status \. .ts i-> - >uk- of
h. r revolutionist friends, but she did
u t fenr to go where they were, though
a:.vnys armed to the tc<"h. One ihiiiR
at last began to mystify Turovtsuin.
Though Yurctika often led the p dice
to capture some revolutionist, wheu
tl:a force arrived the bird had always
flown.
Ynrenka lived In first class apart
ments which were paid for by the g >v
erument. One day the chief appeared
at her apartments with trouble written
on his face.
"Sweetheart," he said, "1 have no
ticed that we never gain anything
from the information you brlug us.
Every meeting of revolutionists you
hare told us of has for some reason
failed to take place. Resides, certain
persons whom we have intended to ar
rest have in some unaccountable way
been warned and have escaped us. And
now comes one of our women In the
secret service bureau who accuses you
of being a revolutionist, of giving them
all our secrets."
"Who Is my accuser?"
"Katla Pestsoff."
Yarenka grew a shade whiter. Go
ing to another room she took a pistol
from a drawer, put it in her bosom
nnd returning to her lover said:
"I may as well make a confession,
for Katla can prove her accusation."
"Great heavens!" exclaimed Turovt
suin. catching at the back of a chair
for support.
"Do you remember," Yarenka went
on, "your bosom friend Dronskl?"
"I do," gasped Turovtsuin.
"I am his sister. I was far from him
at the time you betrayed and arrested
him, but I determined that some day
I would avenge him. While he suf
fered the tortures you heaped upon
him my resolution grew stronger.
When he died I determined to execute
a plan I had formed. The man who
fired at you was my accomplice, and
there were twenty revolutionists stand
ing by to take him to safety. I
knocked up his pistol on purpose to
win your confidence. Having won
from you all I can for my people, the
moment of my supreme vengeance has
come."
People living on tlie floor below
heard n shot and came running up the
stairs to see what was the matter.
Vareuka stood at her door and asked
them if they had not heard a shot.
They replied that they h:ul and that
the sound seemed to have come from
that fl:>or, whereupon she snid that It
sonnded to her to have come from the
rear apartments. She spoke as calmly
as If she had been used to having shots
fired near her all her life. The ex
cited people went to the rear apart
ments to learn that nothing unusual
had occurred there. The occupants
were sure that the shot had come from
the front rooms. Puzzled, tlie crowd
went to Varenka's apartments and
knocked. There was no answer to
their summons. They conferred, and.
all agreeing that somethlug must be
ivrong. they decided to burst open the
door. They did so, and stretched on
the floor Turovtsuln, the chief of police,
lay dead.
Vareuka Arkad.vevna was never seen
again in any part of Russia, though
the police searched the empire for her.
Rumor says that she Is living in Eng
land on the large sums paid hor by
the police for her set, ret service work.
