Riches of the Yukon Basin,

1t seems likely that the valley of the
Yukon river in Alaska and British Co..
lumbia will have a boom in a mild way.
The richest gold mines have been thus
far found Oh the British side Of the line,
but still they are easily accessible to
Americans, and many miners from the
United States have already focked
thither.
The climate is not so cold as it is on
the eastern side of the continent in
the same latitude. Rich pasturage
for cattle fourishes, and some veget-
ables will grow. Besides the gold
mines, iron, copper, marble and coal
are found in richly paying quantity.
There is room there for great and profit
able investment Of capital. At present
the state of society is much the same as
existed in California half a century ago.
There is little paper money or coin. Ev-
cry man carries a little buckskin bag Of
gold dust and a tiny pair of scales. For
each purchase he weighs out swiftly and
dexterously gold dust enough to pay the
bill Gold is rated at ST an ounce.
There are no lawyers, and yet the PEG.
pie are honest. When q man murders or
steals, he is lynched. The method seems
satisfactory. The country teens with
fish and game. Undoubtedly it has a flu
ture, and a great one. With sWifter and
more frequent steamers from Puget
sound, the Yukon country can be reach
ed in ten days. Miners will go from
Washington to Alaska in spring, dig
gold till Geld weather, then return to
Washington state for the winter.

st. Paul and St. Louis.

June ) will witness the departure from
New York Of the first American built
great transatlantic steamer, the St.
Louis. She and the St. Paul, her twin
sister, are monuments to which Ameri.
cans may point with pride the world
over. A large number of citizens of St
Louis will be passengers over on The
first trip of the great steamer named fol
their city. When the st. Paul start.
out, next fall, undoubtedly her passen
gers will be largely made up of peopl.
from the Minnesota city. They and tht
st. Louisians will go abroad just fer the
fun of the thing, to show the British
how handsome the people are who CONT
from the towns for which we name oul
great American built ocean steamers. II
was originally expected that the St.
Paul would be ready to begin her trips il
the fall in time to help bring home the
summer tourists, but the delay in launch.
ing her may make her too late for this.
The St. Louis and St. Paul, though
regular steamships of the American line,
were built on the plan, SO common in
England, of being aided by a govern.
ment mail subsidy. In return for this,
if wal should break out and the vessels
be needed the government would have
the right to take them and use them for
the navy. These immense floating pal
aces, when their full quota of passengers
and crew are aboard, will hold 1,T1C
souls. Their engines are the most pow
erful of the qnadruple expansion type il
the world, and it is expected that they
will be able to travel Oh the averages
considerably over 20 miles an hour. The
New York and the Paris, the other
steamers of the American line, also re-
ceive mail subsidies and are in conse.
quence liable for cruiser duty.

ORANGE, N. J., March 20.-The ad-
dress of the Rev. DR.. Charles FL. Park
hurst on ssMoral and Municipal Reform"
which was delivered in the Music hall
here, has aroused considerable indigna-
ton among those who are acquainted
with the facts concerning the local gov
eminent of Orange. The language of
the address was Incorporate and slangy;
the statements were frequently exaggers
ated and sometimes completely at vari
ance with the facts
Mem ers of tho Orange Valley Young
Mems Christian Association had expected
that Dr. Parkhurst would crowd the
Music hail. In anticipation of a great
demand, they had extra tickets printed,
which they endeavored to dispose of at
So each, for sittings on the stage. To
their disappointment, the house wasn't
half full and there was no one on the
stage except some ministers.
Those who did attend the lecture were
not prepared for the vulgar narration of
his descent into Hattie Adams and other
brothels. They did not expect him TO de-
scribe his personal adventures as "Going
70 hell to secure evidence" And il was
not pleasant to have their officials COM
pared with those of New York, whom
Dr. Parkhurst characterized as 'brigands
that would not be tolerated in Turkey
and libertines that would have digraced
Sodom aud Gomorrah."
"What you accomplish in Orange" he
declared, ''will depend upon what you
are willing to sacrifice. It must be
long, bitter fight to win. And what say
of your city refers as well to your state"
''That's pretty tough" remarked one
of the aldermen of the city after the lee
ture was over. "To think that Orange
elected Republicans last spring on re-
form platform, and then to have that man
come here from New York and tell us
we are as bad as Sodom and Gomorrah."
In making this comparison, DR.. Park
hurst stated that he had been Uniformed"
of certain things concerning Or nge. It is
fact that no one in authority told him
any such thing. An Orange gentleman
who was in the west at the time DR..
Parkhurst lectured in Chicago on munic-
ipal reform had copy of a Chicago pa
per containing that address. The man
went to the music hall on Thursday
evening. and he says that the Orange
harangue contained exactly the same
things about his city that had been said
ahout Chicapo

A SHIPLOAD A MONTH
Is What the Emigration Society
Expects to Do,
In Colonizing the Colored Peo-
pie in Liberia.
SOME GO TO MEXICO.
Eight Hundred Families Have
Arrived at Durango.

SAVANNAH, Ca, March 2o.-The
Danish steamship Horsa is now well
out in the Atlantic on her way to
Liberia with her cargo of 1877 negroes,
ranging from the infant in arms to old
men on the voyage to the grave The
trip down the Savannah river was
made with songs of gladness from the
deck of the steamer and cheers from
the crowds of negroes on the wharves.
The emigrants did not cease singing
their hymn about going back to their
fatherland until the city had disap-
peared from sight and the entire party
remained on deck which was crowded
with their baggage until the tug left
them.
The emigrants carry extensive sup
plies, including agricultural implements
and stores of seed and have consider
able money. It is believed to be the
best equipped party that has ever sailed
for Africa. They will endeavor to get
about 8, 900 acres of land together and
organize a town government of their
own. There are three ministers with
them and doctor. The first building
to be put up in the country will be a
church.
Treasurer Howard, of the Emigration
society, left for Memphis last night to
organize another party. It is his in
tention to send shipload every month
if possible. One party is forming in
Savannah. It is expected to be an in
itiation of an extensive Liberia craze
among negroes all over the south.
NEGRO COLONY ARRIVES IN MEXICO.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The secre-

date of March 6, that between 700 and
500 negro families have recently ar
rived from the United States at Ham
huanilo, Durango, Mex, as colonists

FOREIGNERS EXEMPT.

Income Tax Does Not Apply to Foreign
Investors in American Securities-
WASHINGTON, March 20-A peculiar
feature of the income-tax law has been
discovered by the officials who are pre-
pairing to give it effect. There is no
provision in the law to reach the incomes
of non-residents derived from interest
upon railroad and other American Sc
curities
In the tariff bill as it passed the house
it was provided that interest upon
the bonds of corporations should be
regarded as net earnings, and that.2 per
cent should be deducted from the amount
to be paid by the corporation to the hold
ers of the bonds, whether residents or not.
The senate, however, changed this so as
to exempt from the tax all interest upon
bonds or other Indebtedness.
The effect of this is to exclude the
foreign bondholder from the operation
of the law, while the resident bond
holder is compelled to pay taxes upon
all income in excess of $4,000 without
regard to whether that income is derived
from interest upon bonds Or income from
other sources
