All of last night the heavy tramp of marines on guard was heard, an they kept their vigtl by the side of the dewd. At ll o'clock this morning the cere- Monies began. The bodies were drought from the tents to the graves, escorted by marines and the marine band. Father Chadwick, chaplain of the Matne, offered a short prayer. Capt. Sigabdes, of the Maine, stood by his side with bowed head and dim eyes, On the covered stand stood the president and his cabinet. The flag was draped, coffins lowered, taps sounded, a volley was fired, the ma- rine band played @ dirge, and the crowd dispersed. The marine guard then resumed ite watch til) ¢@awn tomerrow.

The delayed mat! arrived on the Northern Pacific this after- noon. e+e Steamer Al-K! arrived at 11 o'clock Jast night with six sacks of mail from Dawson and several pouches from other potnts. About 1,500 of the Dawson letters were for local delivery. The mall was postmarked at Dawson November 2, thus being 29 days in transit. Acompanying the reat of the mall from Dawson was a curiosity in the shape of an tron- bound box about 2% feet long by 1 fot wide and deep. It bore the seal “Dawson, Y. T.. Canada.” The ad dress was entirely obliterated with the exception of the words “on Her Majesty's service," which were printed on the top of an official en velope, the rerhainder of the envel- ope containig the addtess having been torn away. What renders the box an object of special interest ix the almost tlegthle words written on one corner of the envelope, and which after much labor was made out to read: “Only part of the mati saved from steamer Stratton wreck ed at Selwyn (7), Yakon Territory,” eee The Northern Pacific overland ar- rived on time today.

MEMORIAL IS. NOT COMPLETE The Cape Nome memorial to con- gress, to be drawn up by the cham- ber of commerce, is still uncomplet- ed on account of the difference of opinion. ©. F.

Walker, president of the Paname Canal Commission, asking for tn- formation as to the amount of trade and shipping that would likely go | through the canal to and from this city, Was referred to the committse on mercantile affairs. The efforts of the friends of Gen, Lawton to provide for the latter's widow and children, were recom- mented by the chamber to the pa- | triotic citizens of Seattic. W. J. Young was elected a member of the chamber He Had the Exact Height. It wae a wet day, the streets were | sloppy. and Gus Reder and Oraham McFarlane stood at the corner of Main and Poplar, watching the maneuvers of the women as they en- | gineered their long skirts over the crossings. “T always think the women should be permitted great Wherty in the matter of wet skirts In wet weath- er.” remarked Mr. Reder. “That's #0," responded Graham, in an interrogatory tone. ‘Yes, sir, I have figured out exact. ly how high they ought’ to be rained. “How high do you make it?” “A little over two feet.” THAT SINGLE TAX DEBATE ‘The debate last night in the G. A. R. hall upon Henry George's single tax theories was spirited. Rev. W. | F. Kellogg appeared as the oppon- ent and A. J. Wolf as the champion ot Henry George's proposals. The hall was weil filled with an appre- ciative audience. The reverend gentleman took as the cornerstone of his argument, the statement that there was never any advance made towards civilization ler paterial progress until man as- jsumed individual ownership of yr which he had no part at all in creating. This is diametrically J opposed to George's theory which aime at the abolition of individual ownership of land and landlordiam. Me attacked the system in general an being “sn masa of glittering gener- alities and glaring contradictions.” | In the course of his reply Mr. Wolf said: “Shall this earth be owned by only & few of the Creator's children who shall exact tribute from all the reat for the right to live?’ (The- mendous applause) “That ia not justice.” he said there is only one way to promote civilization and that ts to do jus- tite.” The sympathy of the audience seemed to be with Mr, Wolf.
