A Lote Skagway Letter
Roseburg Review. Dr B L Bradley
writes to his wife under recent date
that he has concluded to remain at
Skagway and engage in business for
awhile. The snow Is so soft over the
pass and the river so open below Lake
Laltargo that tho trip to Dawson al
this time would be extremely danger
ous. This letter was written In the
store of C F Niece, the former Rose
burg candy kitchi n man, now in busi
ness In Skagway. Jack Andrews,
ouce a well-known S P conductor, is
batching with the doctor. When Dr
Bradley reached Skagway a few
months sgo on his first trip to Daw
s. n, the town consisted of only a few
tents, now it Is a busy, bustling city
about the size of Roseburg.

Frank and Merle, who are attending

Is an exception to the rule."

The Teller Rssolutlon Taken Up bj
litrtsive Tote.
Washington, Jan. 20. Vest moved
to take up the Teller silver resolution
In the senate, and Lodge moved that
the senate go luto executive session.
The latter motion was defeated by a
vote of 72 to 89. The silver imn
voted solidly no, and were aided by
several Western republicans aud Quay
of Pennsylvania, who also voted no
Xo democrats voted In the affirmative.
The Teller resolution was then takeu
up by a vote ot 41 to 25.
Left to the Couulles.
The (uiestlon of fusion was thus
treated by the Populist state central
committee, which met In Portland
yesterday:
"The question of union with demo
crats aud silver republicans was
brought up by U'Run, who iutioduced
long resolution, which was really an
argument agalutt union. It did not
oomeout squarely atalnst uulou, but
recited In strong terms the alleged
treachery of democrats in former fusion
schemes.
The following substitute wssollered
by O'Brien, of Umatilla:
"Resolved, That we, the state ceu;
trat committee of the people's party of
the stale of Oregon, recommeud to the
various county conventions of the
people's party throughout the state
that they Instruct their delegates to
the people's party state convention as
to whether they should f.ivor a fusion
or unlou or co-operation or alliance of
forces with the democratic and sliver
republican parties, or either of both of
them, and upon what principles or
conditions they may favor such union,
If any.
"The substitute was passed by a vote
of 9 to 0. The question or union is
thus left to the couuty conventions."
Lost His Life In the Klondike.
Pendleton, OrJmi 21. The report
that James H Jackson, brother ofCB
Jackson, editor of the East Oregouian,
lost his life In the Klondike, Is con
firmed In a letter from John E Lath
rop aud Dr Beatle. Jackson and
Beatle were camped at an Island at the
mouth of the Bwalue, 18 miles above
Dawson City. Jackson went to Daw
on ntv with two lumbermen, and
left there November 9 to return alone,
Ua vhh not seen afterward. He was
swelled for two weeks, without
avail. The trail was dangerous, and it
is thought Jackson was drowned In
attempting to cross a weak place In
the Ice.

ed was that the company desired to
it'turu home ou the overland, which
passes here at 10u 3. It is claimed by
the audience, although small, that In
asmuch as professional prices of ad
mission were charged the company
was not Justified In cutting the play to
suit their own personal ci nvenlenco.
The play was not up to expectations
and If the stage movements w ere strict
ly military as advertised, Co C Is In
sad uved of a drill master. A number
of characters w ere w ell cast. The male
quartett sang sweetly and w ith much
volume. The coon w as ahovo the aver
age amateur but in the solemn aud im
pressive death scene, he should have
been throw n ott the stage."
A vrusal ot the above Indicates a
gross lack of literary aud playw right
knowledge by tho verdant theatrical
reporter of the Times. The story of
the play, as even Its synopsis indicates,
commences the morning after the
midnight charge." and whyj that
title waiglveu the play can only bo
explained by the author, V Ellsworth
Sledmau, to whom the above men
tioned theatrical repoiter ot the Times
respectfully referred.
Iu saying that the play did not
come up to his expectations, tho afore
said reporter again attempts to throw
bouquets at his own deep Intuition aud
transcendent knowhdgo of theatrical
lore. In smith, by the shades of the
muses, did he expect a Jefferson, a
Barrett or an Irving, a Bernhardt, a
Mary Anderson, or a Marlowe, to
come before Uim; ll wouia appear
even thus. He says again "profession
al prices" wero rhnrged-25 and 35
cents. What notid Hamlets er
Othelloa havo graced their atage for
this grand stipend? Ye gods, come
down, and attest to this man's great
ness Crown him with a laurel
wreath; bt deck his person with the
Iridesent garb of the sage, and lot his
greatness be' heralded In tho utter
most parts of the republic.
In Justice to the managing editor or
the Times, it Is possible he was in
disposed fur the evening and entrusted
this write up to the snake editor or the
deyll, Iu which case its attempt at
billingsgate ca I be excused.
