Sling way—the citv without a
deb».
Skagway has the lowqst tax rate
of any city of its size aud im
portance oa the map of North Am
erica.
A committee to arrange for har
monious co-operation with the rail
way aud steamship companies iu
the development of tourist travel
aui t':e providing of an ouportunity
for \ isitors to Alaska to really see
this city and the wonders auil
btauties close at hand—that is
the true mission of the Transpor
tation tommittee of the Skagway
Commercial club.
*uch was the seutimeut expressed
at tie meeting of the cluj> by col.
W. L. Stevenson and others last
night. This is the policy the Daily
Alaskan has consistently advocated
for years, aud earnestly pursued >t
will ^rir.g a golden harvest for the
peopl'- of our city in all the years
that are to come, for Alaska is
dw>tiuai to be the playground and
sumau-r rtsort of all the thousands

Germany has spoken.
Tl." sinking o£ the liner Arabic is
the Kaiser's reply to the Presi
d^u'.'s protest against the sinking of
the Lusitouiu.
Kven If it is true that only two
—possibly only one American per
isa0*!, instead of one hundred and
twen'y as in the former case, the
ptineiple is the s;une, aud that
one or two are just as far boyond
recall as the huudred and twenty
wv,o wtM down with the larger
boat. A::d the gasping cry of one
lo:te t'ooiaD, drowning thousands of
mil *s from her home, may be Aa:
er'ca's call to arms.
Tnv charge that she carried am
munition or Canadian reservists
cannot t? made by the submarine
commander against the Arabic for
ai excuse ia this case, she was
westward bound to -New York, and
her passengers were coming from,
not going to, the war zone.
A:'d yet—however great the pro
vocation—it may not be wise for
Am-rka to enter the war. At
ltast such action should not
bs hasty.
If the President can solve the
problem of the nation's duty aud
secure reparation and apology with
out war, then the people of Ameri
ca will stand with him in doing it,
but if the path of duty and honor,
as h® sees it, leads to war, they
will march .with him as one man.

A Russian's Effort
to Lose Himself
By EUNICE BLAKE
I'ctor Xrolenoo was a member of one
of those circles that sprang up In Rus
sia so rue forty years ago when nihil
ism was Urst heard of. They took their
name from their underlying principle
that nothing in government which ex
isted should continue. The Latin word
for "nothing" is nihil. •
There was great secrecy In those cir
cles, the members of one circle being
completely Ignorant of those in anoth
er. I'eter understood that different
circles .worked in harmony through
their chiefs, but beyond this he had no
information whatever. And yet St.
Petersburg (now Petrogrnd), where he
lived, was full of nihilists.
Peter was young, and there was
something captivating in all this mys
tery. But one night there came to him
a terrible awakening. Lots were
drawn to decide which one of the cir
cle should assassinate the chief of po
lice. and I'eter drew the fatal paper,
011 which had been sketched a dagger,
all the rest being blanks.
All the romance attending the secret
meetings, the disguises, the many In
genious plans of the propaganda of ni
hilism, shriveled before this terrible
deed which Peter was required to com
mit and from which there was no es
cape. He might tlee to the ends of the
earth, but would never know when
some one. possibly his brst friend,
would strike him.
To ndd to h!s horror, he loved a
young girl, to whom he wns expecting
to be married. Nina Dlmltrleff was at
the time preparing her trousseau. Pe
ter feared that his misfortune, which,
la any event, would break their be
trothal. would kill her.
He spent n long while in-making up
his mind what to do and finally decid
ed upon tlight lie would leave Rus
sia disguised and go to a land whoro
he would l>e lost to the world. But
what action should he take in refer
ence to his betrothed? After weigh
ing the matter, dreading the shock he
would cause her by telling her what
had happened, he detideil to disappear
from her as mysteriously as from oth
ers He would oonGilc only In his
mother.
A few days after he had drawn the
dagger he began a Journey to the bur
lier. IHsguli-ed as a beggar. he traveled
by tils lit :>nd bogged by day In the
towns through which lie passed. What
money he took with him. added to what
he received from charity, enabled him
to reach Genoa and take passage for
America.
For live years the fugitive kept
changing his residence, avoiding the
large cities so far as possible, think
In? to !< -o h'aiself more effectively la

the country. But whenever he came
near a Russian bo moved on. lie dared
not write to his mother for fear his
letters would bo Intercepted, but bo
fore leaving Russia be bad laid a plan
for communicating with her at long In
tervals. Finally he received word from
her that a friend of his in the circle to
which lie belonged had informed ber,
at the risk of his life, that an emissary
had been sent to assassinate him.
One day Peter appeared in a small
town in Missouri to receive a commu
nication expected from his mother.
What was his astonishment to see
walking on the main street Nina Diml
trls'ff. The sight staggered him. Could
it be possible that the girl he loved bad
been sent out to kill him? lie banish
ed the thought and ran toward her.
Seeing him, she gave him a meaning
glance and passed on.
1'eter followed her and presently saw
tier drop a bit of paper. Ticking tt up,
he read, "Meet me at 11 on the bridge;"
The town was on the bank of a small
stream spanned by a single bridge.
This fixed the place. At the hour ap
pointed he went there. Nina soon ap
peared, and tho two were clasped in an
embrace.

disappearance she had wormed the se
cret from his mother. But It was not |
till Mme. Troleneo told her that an
emissary had been dispatched to kill
him that Nina decided to Join him in
his exile. The Immediate reason for j
her coming was to warn him against i
tills person who had been described to
his mother. Nina knew the man who
was to avenge the circle, but he did
not know her. Indeed, she had seen
him lu the town that day.
What was to be done? Nina declared
that she would remain with her lover,
protect him so far as she might be
able and die with him if she could not
save him. The danger was imminent.
Besides, if they left the town they
would be followed. They talked to
gether a long while, discussing various
plans, and finally adopted one that bid
fair to accomplish the desired result.
Tiie stream flowing beneath them
was a tributary to the Missouri river.
Beyond the Missouri were the plains,
then uncivilized. Arranging to meet at
a ihilnt in Kansas, they separated, re
fer descended the stream and reached
the Missouri in the morning. There be
found a boat tied to the shore. In the
bow he placed a paper, on which he
had written that, tired of being hunted
for his life, he had decided to drown
himself. Then taking off his outer
clothing, which he left In the boat he
plunged Into the river and after a hard
struggle with its swift current sncceod
ed In reaching the opposite shore.
Tlie emissary who searched for hl«
victim read an account of the supposed
suicide and returned to Bussia. Peter
and Nina had succeeded In losing them
selves to the world.
