PenniIess Miners Denounce the Alaska
Gold Country BoOnsers

Gold Country boomers.
TACOMA. VASE, July 20.-Forty dis.
heartened miners have arrived to-day
from Cooks Inlet, and as many more who
accompanied them to Juneau decided to
try their fortunes in other parts of Alaska.
Henry Brown, one of large party which
went North on the schooner Helen and
May, says that after remaining at Cooks
Inlet for two months prospecting in and
around Sunrise City it suddenly dawned
upon them that they were the victims of
vessel-owners and their allies, who had
held out such promising inducements re-
garding wealth al Cooks Inlet.
Brown is returning to his home in Penn
sylvania, which he left in February. He
says that up to the time he left Sunrise
City June 20) the snow was so deep that it
was impossible to prospect or work claims
if found. About 2500 prospectors now at
the inlet are com pelled to do their pros
peeting on snowshoes. a large mum ber of
these men went into the country with
supplies enough to last them only a
month, expecting to find gold enough to
pay their way through the season. They
are now stranded and have to depend upon
their more fortunate comrades for the
necessities of life. They claim that such
men as George Beade, George w. Carpen-
ter and a man named Wakefield of Seattle
are responsible for their trouble and very
strong talk is INDUCED in by those who
have been allured into going so far with
no chance of making expenses.
large number of these men are in
debted to the Alaska Commercial Com
pany for supplies, and are obliged to
WORK ier the company IN payment. Brown

NEW YORK, N. Y. July 2O.-The six
round bout between kid" Lavigne and
Charles McKeever of Philadelphia, which
took place in Madison-square Garden to-
night, was one of the cleverest and best
ever witnessed in this city. The men
mixed things In lively style from the very
beginning, and when the gong sounded at
the conclusion of the sixth round both
men were still fresh and full of fight.
McKeever's showing surprised even his
friends. According to agreement, de-
cision was not rendered and the merits of
the men were left to the spectators. There
were many cries of ''McKeever' at the
conclusion of the contest. indicating that

VETOED.
The President Sends His Disapproval
of the Rivers and HarbOrs Bill to
COngreSs----The Reasons Assigned.

Washington, D. c.. May 29.-The
President to-day vetoed the river and
harbor appropriation bill. In his mes
sage to Congress he said:
IF this bill becomes law the obi
cations which will be imposed on the
government, together with the appro-
priations made for immediate expendi-
ture on account of rivers and harbors
will amount to about eighty millions OF
dollars. Nor is this all. The bill di-
rects numerous surveys and eXamlna-
tions which contemplate new work and
further contracts, and which portend
largely increased expenditures and obli-
cations.
IN view of the obligation imposed
upon me by the constitution, 1t seems TO
me quite clear that / only discharge
duty to our people when | interposs my
disapproyal of the legislation proposed.
Il learn from official sources that
there are appropriations contained In
the bill to pay for work Nhich private
parties have actually agreed with the
government 10 uO -SA@
their occupancy of public property.
Whatever items of doubtful proprl-
ETY. may have escaped observation or
may have been tolerated in previous
executive approvals of similar bills, l
am convinced that the bill now under
consideration opens the way to insidu-
Gus and increasing abuses, and is in
itself so eXtravagant as TO be especially
unsuited TO these times of depressed
business and resulting disappointment
in government revenue. This conSld-
Grafton is emphasized by the prospect
that the public treasury will be con-
fronted with other appropriations made
at the present session of Congress
amounting to more than five hundred
millions Of dollars.
81 hope l may be permitted to suggest
at a time when the issue of government
bonds TO maintain the credit and finan-
cial standing Of the country is a subject
of criticism, that the contracts provid-
ed for in this bill would create obli-
gationh of the United States amounting
10 sixty-two millions of dollars, no less
binding than its bonds for that sum-"
Washington, D. c.. May 29.-The
managers of the river and harbor bill
in the House intend to move the refer
ence of the veto message to the COM
mittee on rivers and harbors and bring
in before the House on Monday. There
are many members out of town and the
friends of the bill do not wish to attempt
TO pass the bill over the veto until more
members arrive. The veto message was
expected by friends Of the bill and dur
ing the past week they have been at the
war department daily gathering infor-
nation in the possession Of the army en-
gineers respecting the projects in the
bill.
