SKAGWAY IS CENTRAL
One or two of the tories down at Ju
neau, who have lived there for so long
a time that they think their town the
whole of Alaska, are in the habit of rid
iculing the people of Skagway for their
enthusiasm in advocating the cause of
self-government for this district. They
pretend to believe that the support of
territorial government is one of thf
characteristics that is peculiar to Skag
way like is the climate, the soil, the
railroad, Mt. Dewey, etc. They little
dream that their pretension argues
their provincialism. As a matter of
fact there is no town in Alaska so near
ly in touch with as large a portion of
the district as is Skagway. Thousands
of people from Fairbanks, the Yukon
river towns and Nome come and go
through this place annually, and the
business interests of this city are close
ly allied with those of the interior.
Many of our mercantile houses have
branches at Fairbanks. Rampart, Kan
tishra and other towns, and many of
the lead: eg citizens of all the interior
towns have been residents of this place.
Then, by reason of its propinquity,
Skagway is in touch with the towns of
Southeastern Alaska. There are no
people in the district so well situated to
guage Alaskan sentiment as those of
Skagway and Skagwayans are more
earnest in support of territorial govern
ment becouse of the fact that they know
thev are in harmony with the remander
of the district.
The officials of the Church Federa
tion, representing all denominations,
which is soon to have a general con
gress in New York, have decided not to
admit delegates representing the Uni
tarian church, notwithstanding that
church has elected delegates to the
congress. The Unitarian representa.
tives who have been shut out are Dr.
Edward E>erett Hale, chaplain of the
United States senate, Dr. Samuel A.
Eliot, president of the Unitarian asso
ciation. and John D. Lon^, formerly
a member of congress, governor of Mas
sachusetts and secretary of the navy in i
the cabinets of President McKicley and
President Roosevelt.
It is said that President Roosevelt is
considering the appointment of Frank
lin K. Lane, of San Francisco, to the
interstate commerce commission to suc
ceed former Gov. Fifer, of Illinois, who
has resigned. The president could not
under any circumstance make a better
selection. They do not have cleaner,
bigger or better men in the United
States or any other country than is
Frank Lane.
Xever in the palmiest days of Dawson

The conduct of the spectators "and
witnesses before the insurance investi
gating committee of the New York leg
islature makes that investigation much
resemble a French military trial.
Horace McClure, for 15 years a mem
ber of the staff of the Seattle Post-In
telligencer and for the last five years
managing editor of that paper, has sev
ered his connection with it.
John Greenleaf Whittier was given a

MEAT TRLST MAY
GET ALASKA PACKERS
The Alaska Packers' Association the
biggest and one of the oldest salmon
packing companies on the Pacific Coast,
' may pass into the control of the gigantic
meat trust, represented by the Swift,
Cudahv and Armour interests.
The Seattle Times says this statement
was ma le by a man who knows more
about the salmon situation in the Nortb~
west than any oth9r person living. It
has been known for some time that the
Alaska Packers, owing to bad manage
ment and internal trouble, were in bad
way, and the rumor has been current
among salmon people for some tim?
that the Alaska Packers would event
ually sell out and the men now back of
the company would retire from the
tie Id.

VENGEANCE
O =C
[Original.]
At a cafe In oue or the principal
boulevards of Paris sat Aleksel Lukitch,
a Russian gentleman, twirling his mus
taches. lie had gooil reason for self
cougratulatiou. High In favor with the
czar, he had long l>eon employed In the
work of hunting down certain persons
suspected by H. I. M. He had Just
followed one of his master's bitterest
enemies to Paris, secured his arrest
and, by permission of the French gov
ernment, was on the morrow to take
him to Russia.
A gentleman and lady entered the
cafe and glanced at the occupants, and
the woman, who was veiled, seeing Lu
klteh, though he did not notice her, said
something to her companion, and they
took seats directly opposite the Rus
sian. When for the first time he looked
at her his eyes rested upon her curi
ously.
"I will trouble you, m'sleu, to cease
your Insulting stare," said the worn
an's companion.
The Russlau apologized, but the oth
er grew more and more violent till It
was evident that he was Intending to
force a quarrel. His insults came so
thick that there was but one recourse
for Lukltch? he tossed his card at the
man and turned his back. Meanwhile
the lady had retired to a distance, and
her escort, having produced his owe
card. Joined her.
Pay was dawning and the bells of
Paris at a distance were striking the
hour of 4 when two carriages, soon
followed by a third, drew up In a road
In the environs and a party from each
passed to au open space beside a
stream. The man who the nlglit be
fore had forced the quarrel advanced
to Lukltch and said:
"Permit me, m'sleu, to apologize for
my insulting language last night, or,
rather, to explain it. Early in the
evening a lady asked me In escort her
in a round of visits to the resfnurants
In a search for some one she wished to
And. When she saw you she asl.'fd
me to take the course I did. promising"
that the affair should be taken off my
bands. M'sleu, I have the honor to
present your real antagonist."
A figure, smaller than the others
present, who had been standing back,
advanced, threw aside a cloak and re
vealed that she was a woman. She
was dressed In a tight fitting costume,
with a short skirt, such as girls wear
la a gymnasium. The moment Lukltch
saw her he started.
"Varla!" he exclaimed.
"Varla Ivanovnn, at your service,
Aleksel Lukltch."
"What does this mean?" he asked
In a tone that indicated he knew It
meant a good deal to him.
"That the day of vengeance has
come."
The others or uotn parues ur? udffl.
Intent on this strange turn In the af
fair. The woman continued:
"You are a faithful servant of your
master, Aleksel Lukitch. He rewards
you for your service to him; it Is my
part to punish you for your treachery
to me. You made love well, Aleksel.
so well that you won my heart. You
bad fine revolutionary sentiments, so
fine that they won my confidence and
I revealed our purposes to you. Do
you see these shrunken cheeks, these
prematurely white hairs? Well, these
come from prison life in Siberia, where
you sent me. It was during those bit
ter days In that dark wintry country
that I conceived this purpose, and
every day, except when I took part In
a hunger strike In which we were try
ing to end our sufferings by death, I
renewed my vow of vengeance. That
vengeance was to have been murder.
I have changed It to death In an hon
orable way In the eyes of the world.
On guard!"
The woman spoke as though not for
a moment did she doubt the issue of
the combat. To her enemy her words
seemed prophetic. The hand in which
he held his swonl trembled.
Then he saw a throng of wretched
creatures, emaciated, starved, covered
with prison flllh, white from the shad
ow in which they lived, gatherlug
about him and their champion. Their
eyes glistened as those of wolves hun
gry for his blood. lie heard the wind
roaring through the Siberian forest,
now and again laden with the shrieks
of some prisoner crazed by suffering.
Above this wall came falutly the
words "On guard!" spoken sharply by
his second to call him to himself. It
failed to rouse him. Those looking on
wondered. His condition was so piti
ful, he seemed such easy prey, that
both parties looked to see the woman
throw down her sword and give him
his life. But she, too, saw in memory
the throng of his victims. She saw, too,
the handsome fellow that had won her
heart for the purpose of betraying her
and those whose secrets she had given
him. Not one loak of womanly pity
lighted her face, dark with her own
and others' revenge.,
"On guard!" she cried.
"On guard !" shouted the men of both
parties as matadores strive to anger a
drooping bull.
Aleksei Lukitch beard and roused
himself to die.
A few minutes later the woman
threw down ber sword and walked
quickly to her carriage. There was no
womanly reaction. She did not shud
der; she did not weep. This phase of
woman's nature? at least for this oue
man whom she had killed? had long
ago been eliminated. Alone she bad
come on to the field, and alone she drove
away. She had sprung from whence no
one knew and went no one knew
whither. No angel of vengeance ap
pointed by heaven to avenge sorrows
heaped on Its suffering children could
have struck more mercilessly.
