s 1t is reported that there is quite an
excitement over the Yukon gold fields
in Alaska, and nothing is talked of
up there but going into the Yukon.
It is reported that rich bar diggings
have been struck on Stewart. river
which yield $I00 per day per man &.
The Yukon with her quartz and
placier mines and other great re-
sources, and their rapid development,
will soon afford fine market for
Puget Sound products.
1t appears that Mr. Powderly, il
demonstrating with some of his peo
pie on their habits of extravaganza
and dissipation, said, among other
things: Drink water, as cattle DO"
This is taken in some quarters as an
insult; and it was resented at a meet
ing OF socialists in Chicago on Sun
day. To tell man, the noble beer
drinker, to drink water, as cattle do"
It is worse than any of the insults
that have proceeded from Jay Gould.
Publication of the second volume
of Gen. Grants memoirs has been
again postponed. The publishers do
not expect to get it out before May
10. The book has 100 more pages
than the first volume contained.
There is in every volume a fac smile
of the document setting forth the
terms of surrender of Lee. Il was
written on manifold paper, and fac
simile is put on such paper as to re
present this material as nearly as
possible. They are produced by
Photographic process. They throw
light on one Of the pretty stories of
Gen. Badeau, who says in his book
shat as Gen. Grants was writing
he looked up and saw flash CT sun
light on the swords of Lees officers,
and then interpolated the words
''side- arms" in the list of things ex
empted from surrender. A glance at
the fac similes shows that the sen
tence reads: Except horses, side
arms and baggage" the word bag
gage" being the only word inter
lined.

The senate having under considera-
ton the Washington Territory ad-

lana, moved to amend by restricting
the suffrage to males in the election
OF members of the constitutional con
vention, bat that ablast OF Legislative
bodies IN the civilized world voted
down the proposition by vote of

the world moves when the Q. S.

Pacific Fisheries.

The following from the Victoria
COloaiSt shows that the Canadian
government is being provoked to
good works on the question or our
long unusued food fish resources:
"Mr. Shakespeare, NJ. T., did good
service the other day when he called
attention to the necessity of the
government doing something to fos-
ter the deep sea fisheries of British
Columbia. The salmon fisheries here
are valued at least at a million and a
half dollors, and ne believed if the
deep water fisheries were developed
they would prove as valuable, if not
more so. The matter had been
brought before the attention of the
government two years ago, and it was
promised some action would be taken;
but he was not aware up to the pre-
sent time if anything had been done.
He had no doubt there were valuable
confsh banks on the Pacific coast,
and other valuable fish deposits in
these waters hitherto unknown
Beautiful specimens of black cod had
been brought from the west coast of
Queen Charlotte Islands, and were
reported to be of excellent quality.
Judge Swan, United States officer
had obtained lar quantity of this
class of fish, when visiting the north
of Vancouver Island, and sent some
to Washington and other places and
it was reported that he received more
letters of enquiry in reference to the
locality where the fish were caught
than in reference to any other qGes
ton raised by his trip. In conclus
ion, Mr.. Shakespeare strongly urged
upon the government to take steps to
develop the deep sea fisheries of the
Pacific

was considerable local buzzing this

James q. Blaine is the Gladstone
Of American politics Never has the
popularity OF an American been SO
widely and Enthusiastically demon
strsted as that of MIR. Blaine has been
during the past few months
The popularity of Webster and Clay
was phenomenal, and their grand
powers on the floor of the Senate
fully warranted the hold they had
upon the affections OF the people;
Linco'n's popularity in his second
election to the presidency was strong
ly marked, but it was based quite as
much upon a desire TO secure the
legitimate results of the war for lib
srty aud the preservation of the I'm

himself, great as he was. Blaine's
popularity today is open aud Undis-
gdised, and comes from all political
