Chicago, March pa party of in
trepid gold hunters is being organized
FOR the purpose of exploring the rich
fields of the Yukon basin in Alaska,
and which are claimed to be among the
richest in the world. The party so far
comprises men from this city, Milwau-
kee, Pittsburg and points in Michigan
and Ohio. who have already seen SER
vice in the California and Colorado
fields. The start is to be made late in
May, when the first line of steamers
between Seattle Wash. and Circle
CITY, Alaska, the nearest point to the
gold fields, is to be put into operation.
The line is to be composed of one
steamer only and will make in 12 days
the trip that now requires from 40 to
go days and the endurance of great ex-
posture. Some idea of the hazard in
volved in the exploration is afforded in
the fact that the gold fields are only
accessible by way Of the Chilcoot pass.

Manufacturer of Philadelphia, said he
had labored to convince the maufactur-
ers that protection would only prove
efiicacious in conjunction with the re-
storation of silver.
Richard Campion declared himself in
favor of the restoration OF silver, but
thought the cause of bimetallism was
not advanced by the defeat Of the rev.
enue measure.
Senators who were interviewed with
regard to the meeting expressed the op-
inion that this was the first note of
warning to the republican party against
the adoption of a single gold standard
in the st. Louis platform or the nomin-
alton of gold standard man on a
straddle plank.
Senator Cameron's name was men
toned in connection with the presidency
and met with evident approval by many
present.

he was not opposed to him on personal
