(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
St. Petersburg, Jan. 1 1 ? Count Witte today told a delegation of citizens calling
upon him to protest against the continuation of the severe policy of repression inaugurated
by the czar that it could not be modified before Januai^;. 22. He said the methods of i
Minister Durnovo are necessary because the people nM: used the concessions which per
mitted them to hold meetings and exercise free speech and free press, 1 He said that a
modification now might be construed to license to have street disturbances again. He is
determiued that these must not take place. ?<
The people of the country are very bitter because Count Witte is supporting the
policies of the moderates,
IN BUSINESS
Skagway Men Si art Brewery
In Fail b inks
Late advices from Fairbanas say that
Herman Bartbel and John Gage, of
Skagway, bare interested wealthy
citizens of that city, in a brewery prop
osition and that the work ol construc
tion will begin at oner.
Of the proposition the Fairbanks
Times says: .
"The new company will be known as
the Barthel Brewiug Company, of whicn
Herman Barthtl, formerly of Skagwey,
is } named aa president, brewer and
manager. John Gage, a well known
citizen of Skagway, is also a member of
the company. The stock has been jub
cribed for by several of Fairbanks'
most reliable citizens, and there is no
doubt but that it will prove a great fin
ancial success.
"The company has taken over tbe
ground adjuining tbe Distiled- Soda
Works in the eastern part of the city,
and a large force of men were put to
work breaking ground for a large and
up-to-date brewing plant.
"The main building will be 45x70
feet over all, four stories high, and
will be installed with all tbe latest
apparatus for the manufacture of this
pioduc. If the weather is such as will
permit, Mr. Barthel thinks tbe plant
will be in full operation within ninety
da s. The capacity of the brewery
will be sixty barrels every twen'y-four
hours."
