RICH FIELDS ARE OURS.
None of the Collaborating Section of
Alaska Is In the British Territory.

None of the Collaborating Section OF
Alaska Is in the British Territory.
Washington, Jan. 21.-The rich gold
discoveries of Forty-N[ile creek in
Alaska belong to the United States,
and not to Great Britain. The list
meridian of longitude has been actual
ly determined by an employee of The
British government and property
marked at certain places. Gen Duffield
the chief of the coast survey, says it
shows that but 16 miles of the creek as
the bird flies and 90 miles as the water
flows is in British territory, and that in
this portion no gold has been discov-
cred. All the remaining portion of the
creek and that in which gold has been
discovered is in Alaska, and belongs.
therefore, to the United States. A bill
has been introduced in congress pro-
viding for the appointment of COM
missioners to fix the boundary, but it
has not yet been acted upon.

AN INSULT TO THE COUNTRY.
Disgracsfui scheme of the white Metat
Senators.

Senators.
It is characteristic of the United
States senate that it's finance commit
tee should agree upon bill for the
free coinage of silver and the transfer
of our monetary system to the silver
basis at the very moment when the
treasury offers for sale $100, 100000 of
bonds whose issue is made necessary
solely by the threat of such action in
the past and the fear that it may be
taken in the future. It is, however,
nothing else than what was to be ex-
pected. That is what this particular
committee was organized for 1t pre-
sents to the public as its charter of
rights and it's proclamation of the cor
dial intercourse between republicans
and populists in the senate bill which
would, if there were the slightest pos
sibility that 1t could become law,
cause the greatest commercial and
financial revolution that this or any
other country has seen. 1t is no half
way measure. 1t provides for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio
of sixteen to one; for the
coinage of the bullion in the
treasury; for the issue of certificates
against the seignicrage, so as to make
depreciation as rapid as possible, and
for the redemption of legal tenders and
treasury notes in gold or silver at the
option of the government. There be-
ing no option, for there would be no
gold in circulation or sight from the
moment that the enactment of such q
law seemed possible, the provision is,
of course, as it's trainers intend, for
strict silver monometallism.
The worst feature of this business is
its gratuitous attempt to injure the
business of the country and destroy
the prosperity of the people. Every
member of the finance committee
knows that it has no more chance of
passage than bill to abolish the
United States government. Doubtless
it will go through the senate. 1t could
not pass the house. And if it did, it
would meet with instant execution at
the hands of the president. Its sole
effect, therefore, is to hold up once
more before the world the possibility
| of q future degradation of our cur
rency; to warn foreign capital away;
to discourage investment everywhere; !;
to make all business uncertain and
all prudent men fearful. 1t is a de-
| liberate menace to the nation AMI
blow at it's credit, without even the
possibility of affecting legislation or
accomplishing any other than the evil
purposes we have named. 1t will help
to make the tasks of those who are la
boring to uphold our credit harder,
stimulate gold Withdrawals, necessitate
more bond sales, load the people down
with more debt at the same time that il
diminishes their wealth-creating and
wage-earning power. And all for moth
ing, except it be to demonstrate the
beauties of fusion, and to fill to the
brim the cup of offending of a legis-
lative body that has almost ceased tc
be in any worthy sense representative
of the people.-St. Paul Globe.

THEIR LAST STAND.
Tho Expiring Struggles of the Free
Silverites.

. ShVertteS.
The past ten years of free silver agi-
tation show that it's triumphs have
been confined to the mouths of few
free silver men. We have been told,
from first to last, that the south was
hot for silver; that the west was burn
ing for it; that the entire country was
frantic for it, with the exception of a
little patch touching the Atlantic coast
north of the Delaware. All humbug.
- With triiling exceptions free silver
dias been swept from the field of battle
every time it ventured there. All that
1t has been able to do has been to talk.
1t has been beaten out of sight every
time, and conclusively. Not state in
the union, barring, perhaps, Mississippi
or Utah, could be carried to-day for free
silver. The modification that must fol-
low this fact has no doubt stimulated
the silver men in the senate to make
last desperate stand in vindication of
themselves. They have been repudi-
ated by the country on all sides. They
are without following and without au-
thority todisturb us further with their
theory. But they have the votes in the
senate and they propose to use them.
They hold the fort; and what shall we
do about it?
1t is for the country TO lash these
modern free lances with the truth.
They are buccaneers for their own
vanity. They are using the commits
sions given to them by their constitu-
ents for purposes which their constitu-
encies condemn. Let them hear from
the publici soon and with emphasis

JOHN B. ALLEY DEAD.
Millionaire Ex-Congressman and Ex-Di-

Millionaire Ex-Congressman and Ex-Di-
rector of the Union Pacific Railroad.
Boston, Jan. 21.-John b. Alley, of
Lynn, Mass, died Sunday night from
paralysis, aged 7s years. Mr.. Alley
was an eX-representative in congress-,
an ex-director of the Union Pacific
railroad and pioneer of the old free
soil party. He began life as an ap-
prentice in shoe factory and was
worth several million dollars when he
died.
Mr.. Alleys political career began in
1852 by his election as alderman in
Lynn. The next year he was in the
governors council, later in the Mas
chusetts senate and in 1853 he was u
member of the constitutional conven-
ton and free-soil chairman of the state
central committee. In 1854 he entered
congress and served four years. He
was connected with Oalles Ames in the
Union Pacific enterprises.

PERISHED BY FIRE.
Theater Burns in Russia-Forty-Nine Per-
sons Killed.

sOns hihtu.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-A dispatch
from Ellatorinoslav, capital of the gov
ernment OF that name in South Russia,
gives the details of fire that occurred
i'll theater, causing large loss of life.
The fire was discovered while n per-
formance was going on. The specta-
tors became panic-stricken and made
a wild rush for the exits. Many of
them were knocked down, trampled un-
der foot and rendered unconscious.
The building was of wood and the fire
spread with great rapidity. Before
all of the terror-stricken people could
get outside the theater was a mass of
flames.
The scene outside was terrible. Those
who had relatives and friends in the
theater rushed about wildly crying for
help to save them. Every effort was
made to save those in the burning build
ing, hut the heat was so intense that
for some time it was impossible to ap-
proach the structure. Even had it been
possible to approach the efforts to save
those inside would have probably been
fruitless, as they were probably suff-
cate heforc the fire reached them
Afte. the ruins had cooled off suffi-
GENTLY search was commenced for
the dead. Forty-nine bodies nave al
ready been taken out. A number of
persons who were known to have been
in the theater are still missing, and
there is scarcely any doubt that their
bodies will be found later in the ruins.

BRITAIN IS INVITED.
Asked to Present Evidence to the vene-,
zuelan Commisssion.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The Vene-
zuelan commission has invited the gov
ernments of Great Britain and of Vene-
zuela to submit to it all of the evil
dence in their possession to further the
work of the commission, to be repre-
sented before it by attorneys, and all
of this with the reservation that such
representation and appearance shall
not be deemed an abandonment of any
rights or position heretofore assumed.
1t has done this in order that the pro-
ceedings of the commission may not be
laid to be ex-parte, that the truth may
appear and that time may be saved
in the inquiry with which the commis-
sion is charged.
The invitation goes in the shape of a
letter to Secretary Olney, who has made
response saying that he has trans
mitted copy of the commissions
views to the two governments con-
cerned. These facts came out after the
meeting of the commission Monday,
although the letter was drawn up and
sent to the secretary of state at it's last
meeting, Wednesday, January Is. 1t

confident of favorable response from
both parties to the boundary contro-

in which the suggestion is couched and
the wide latitude of reservation per-

hope that the invitation will be ac-
cepted.
Mondays meeting took place for the
first time in the new quarters of the

RECOGNITION.
The Government May Soon Ac-
knowle dge Cuban Insurgents.
It Is Reported That President Cleveland
Is on the Point of Issuing "A Proc
lamatIon which VIII Have
This Eject.

Nashville, Tenn. Jan. 21.-Congrcss-
man Benton McMillin reached the city
Monday night from Washington, and in
an interview with him concerning Gu
ban affairs he said he had good
grounds for the statement that Presi-
dent Cleveland, in few days, will send
message to congress recognizing the
Cubans as belligerents. Mr.. McMillin
says he is satisfied this will be done,
and that the rumors connecting England
with the purchase of Cuba are bringing
matters to crisis. Mr.. McMillin spoke
with positiveness in regard to the early
recognition of the revolutionists.
Washington, Jan. 21.-A crisis has
been reached in the Cuban war. Rec
ognition of the belligerency of the pa
triot army by the United States is immi-
nent. President Cleveland is said to
have prepared a proclamation, which
may be issued in the immediate future.
The president, it is said, will Issue a
proclamation immediately. Authori-
ties agree that the executive, and not
Congress will support the president
heartily. Senor Palma, head of the
Cuban party in the United States, says:
sour case is complete. The president
and congress will recognize the insur-
gent cause" Senior Palma adds that
it is not necessary that the insurgents
should hold port, but that, as a matter
of fact, Gen. Gomez has taken half d
dozen ports in the last week, leaving
the Spanish army penned upin Havana
Belligerency can be recognized when
insurgents have established themselves
on basis of apparent peIlnanencv by
having military establishments able to
compete with the armies of the parent
country and have established form ot
government.
Washington, Jan. 21.-The senate
charged with the investigation of the
Cuban situation, of which Senators
Sherman, Morgan and Lodge are the
members, on Monday morning dis
cussed the matter referred to them fol
an hour and half. 1t can be said thai
these three senators are unit in theil
opinion as to what, under certain con
ditions, should be done. They are eact
in favor of the recognition of the in
surgents as belligerents, but they have
been unable to convince themselve.
that the time has come for such reso
luton or that the insurgents have ac
complished that which will justify the
United States in taking such steps.
1t is believed, however, that this sub
committee will report material prog
ress when the full committee meet.
Wednesday. If they are confronted
with the convincing fact that the in
surgents have not done that which jus
tifies the passage of a resolution b,
congress asking the president TO gran
the recognition asked the committe,
will probably do the next best thing
and order a favorable report on reso
luton declaring the sympathy of thi
government with those in rebellion
against the Spanish government ant
expressing the strong hope that the!
may Ultimately triumph.

....Senator Jones, of Arkansas, is u
year too late with his bill to coin silver
on the basis of its market value. Had
he presented it at the opening of the
SID congress instead of at it's close, and
resisted it's emasculation in the
finance committee, it might have been
accepted as n compromise. But the
fight has been waged between the two
extremes of gold coinage and sixteen
to-one silver coinage, and the latter has
lost the day. All was staked on sixteen
to one and lost. 1t is now too late for
compromising.-St. Paul Globe.
