The Kansas City World last evening

Francis Murphy who is on his way to
Topeka where he viii speak next week:

house en- route to Kansas. where he is

meetings during the next four weeks.
said to a. reporter for The World this
morning that nothing could be farther
from the truth than a published state
ment that ne was to retire from the
lecture platform.
Il have just closed a long series Of
lectures in Chicago" he said, and viii
begin a campaign in Kansas next Tues
day at Topeka.
In answer to the question as to
whether he feared the repeal Of the
prohibitory law in Kansas next fail,
Mr.. Murphy said;
Yes, I do. And it will be repealed
unless there is a big moral revival in
sentiment in the state between now and
fall The trouble with the temperance
question in Kansas has been that too
much attention has been paid to the
legal side of the issue and not enough
to the moral side. "a farmer may put
up q fence, but unless he harrows and
tiIs the soil and gives the crop constant
attention it viii be failure. The
trouble has been with the w. c. T. u.
in letting the agitation die down.
Il don't know much about it, but I
think the people blame Governor Nor
riu too much. He has been indtscreet
in saying that he could not enforce the
prohibitory law, but he is a good noble
and temperate man and should be given
another trial"

MORE SOLD IN ALASKA.
The Gravel Around Cooks Inlet Teem-
ing With the Yellow Metal

San Francisco. May 9.-U. S. Marshal
Williams of Sitka, Alaska, IS in this
city In speaking about the Alaska
mining excitement he said:
II think it no exaggeratiOn to say
that fully $500 miners have nOcked into
Alaska this season This influx Of pso-
PIE has materially Increased the white
population. L believe the latter has
doubled during the past two years.
Favorable reports are being made
about the gold country around Cooks
inlet and some large finds of the pre-
cious metal are rumOred. The Yukon
country maintains its high reputation
for finds of gold in its placer mines.
Last season fully ST. 600 in gold dust
and nuggets was taken out. There is
every prospect of much larger returns
for this season.
AS many as 500 miners wintered in
the Yukon district the past winter
They tunneled under the frozen surface
of the ground and brought out tons Of
rich gravel. They are now engaged in
washing it out"
