BARBARoUS TREATMENT OF EIGHTY-SEvEN CHINA
MEN-A GREAT GLACIER
CHICAGO, Sept. (Special).-Dr. 8. r. Haven, of
this city, was one of several persons VINO recently
visited Alaska. The party included Chief Justice
Waite Bishop Warren, of Denver, and ex Governor
Hoady of Ohio. Dr. Haven has just returned to this
city. In speaking of the trip he said that among the
points visited was Juneau, village on Douglas
Island of 200 inhabitants. At Juneau is the famous
Treadwell gold niue. owned and operated by COM
pany at the head of which is Senator Jones, of
Nevada The company has a 12D stamp mill in
operation. For time the company had in its
employ eighty seven Cinnamon. Early this summer
a named McCafrey, who the leader of the
attack upon the Chinese at Seattle arrived at Juneau
and at once began to excite the people against the
Chinese. He finally succeeded in getting together
mob of about seventy-fye men. chiefly prOspectors
and gamblers, and they at proceeded to eject
the Cinnamon from the country. They procured two
small open yachts OF carrying capacity OF ten per-
SONS each crowded the Cinnamon aboard and started
them OF for Wrange. twenty-five days journey,
without other provisions IL an rice. The steamer
which Dr. Haven and his friends making their
trip met the two yachts with their crowded eargOes
on August 10 They gave the Cinnamon some aid
In the way OF provisions but were unable to do more
The members OF the party wrote protest against
this cruel treatment of the Chinese and it Was tor
warded by Ex-Governor Hoadly to President Cleveland
The fate OF the Chinese as yet unknown although
it was certain that they could not complete their
journey without great suffering.
The Alaska Indian, Dr. Haven says, Is much SUI
perior creature the Indian of the Western States
aud Territories. They full bearded men and work
willingly at heavy LABOR. They possess many of the
elements OF the civilized man. the first and chief Of
VIII Gu is their love Tor money secondly, their recog
milton Of the obligation of contract and thirdly their
love for their women. The great Muir glacier which
was discovered by Vancouver in 1897 was visited by
the party. 1t is larger than all the glaciers of Europe
together. IL is some $50 feet thick from ten TO

pOiNT NOT WE'LL TAKEN

Tn the course of an article overlooking with
gratitude for the prompt and generous assist
ance which Charleston has met with in this
bour of her dire misfortune, The Neics and
Courier remarks that "The newspapers which
when public affairs arc under discussion, have
no sense of Justice in dealing with Southern
affairs. are as CHEEKY and sympathetic az the
newspapers which are in political accord with
the solid South" We somehow seem to
gather from this observation that in the opinion
of our contemporary the only newspapers that
are blessed with a sense Of justice in dealing
with Southern affairs are those that swear by
the Democratic party. Now the present is by
no means the time to talk politics to Charleston.
If it were VIC would remind The Ne,cs and
Courier that there are no statistics on file any
where which prove that the post-oflice address
OF the star-cyed goddess Of Justice Is invariably
and exclusively the Democratic sanctum, the
sanctum of those who "are in political accord
with the solid South" Ability TO deal justly
with Southern affairs may be vigorously con-
ditioncd upon that sort of "accord," but we
doubt it with big D.
But we will postpone further consideration
of the point until Charleston is herself again.
We may add that the relief fund here as else
where through the North grows apace and
that we all of us are Chareston's TO command
as long as she needs our services.
