TO THE KLONDYKE.
A New, Short and Easy Route via the
Mouth of the Cooper River.


Mouth of the Cooper River.
New YORK, Aug. "A special tothe
Herald from Washington says:
There is a short and easy route to the
rich gold fields of the Klondyke, &C
cording to a communication to the in
terror department from j. G. c. Lewis,
a civil engineer of Salem, Ore, who
says he can open up at a small ex-
pense route from the mouth of the
Cooper river, by which the Klondyke
may be reached by journey of not
much more than three hundred miles
from the coast.
The route which he proposes would
start inland from the mouth of the
Cooper river, near the Miles Glacier,
about % miles east of the entrance to
Prince Williams sound. He declares
the Cooper river is navigable for small
steamers for many miles beyond the
mouth of its principal eastern tributary,
called on the latest maps the Chillyna
river, which is itself navigable for
considerable distance.
From the head of navigation on the
Chillyna, Mr.. Lewis says. either high
way or railroad could be constructed
without great difficulty or very heavy
grades, through what the natives call
the Low Pass" probably the Scoloi
Pass. From this pass the road would
follow the valley of the White river to
the point where it empties into the
Yukon on the edge of the Klondyke
gold fields.
George f. Becker, in an unpublished
report made to the geological survey
of his investigation of 1895 of the
coastal gold districts, says that most
of the islands of the Alexander archi-
pelago contain gold deposits, yet un-
worked, that would probably repay
very handsomely well directed efforts
of placer mining. There are depos-
its in the neighborhood of Sitka, and
generally on Baroneff and Admiralty
islands and the beaches of the adja-
cent mainland. Another promising
region is in a group of deposits
on the Kenai peninsula, on the south
east shore of Cook inlet and at Yaku-
tat bay and the beaches of Kadiak
island. These regions have as yet
been explored only to a limited de-
gree owing to the unfavorable physical
condition OF the coast.

minister to Mexico, made the following
statement: There are many Japanese

might be interfered with in the event

a case there might be no objection on
the part of my government However
Hawaii is now an independent country
In the Pacific and Japan would prefer
to have it kept independent
Even if the United States should
carry out their policy of non inter
in case the island should become d
part of the American union. some con
tingency might arise forcing them to
change that policy of neutrality. For
instance. Hong Kong is an important
British settlement. and if America
had any question with Great Britain
the possession of these islands in the
Pacific might lead as an accident in
colonial politics to an expansion of the
present intentions. This is the reason
we prefer to have Hawaii wholly in
dependent
The minister said that all the talk
about an alliance between Japan and
Spain against the United States is er-
rOneouS
No such thing is cUnteIn pla ted" he
went on to say, Japan owes it's mod
ern renaissance TO the United States,
through whose efforts the country vas
thrown open to the world We con-
slider the Duited States in that sense

Even if the United States were to
make present of Haw ali to Japan. it
would not be accepted. The Japanese
have no ambition to annex Hawaii.

Explains the Subject Matter of the Arbi-
tration Treaty Between Japan and Ra-
wall.
LONDON, Aug. According to the
Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail
the Japanese ambassador to France,
Some Arasuke, has explained, in the
course of an interview, the subject
matter of the forthcoming arbitration
treaty between Japan and Hawaii.
The ambassador said:
THE arbitration will deal only with
the question of indemnity for breaches
of contract There is no suggestion of
arbitration with the United States,
because Japan does not recognize that
the United States has any right in Ha-
wall"
The ambassador said also that the
Dingley tariff would ruin Japan's great
and growing trade with the United
States in carpets and mats and he pro-
tested against the placing of prohibit
i've duties upon goods for which there
is no corresponding industry in the
United States.

CINCINNATI Aug. 5.-At 2:45 Thurs
day morning fire broke out in the
kitchen of Adler's restau rant, corner
Elm and Charles street, and gained
considerable Roadway before the ar
rival of the fire department. Four
persons were suffocated by smoke, and
were taken out by the firemen. The
fire was soon put out Loss small.
The names of the dead are: Arthur
Guth, the bridegroom; Ezra Rouse, the
best man; Mrs. Nellie Bennett, guest,
and Roy Carr, bartender.
The daughter of Mr.. Adler was mar

of Guth was being carried out, his
young bride was running to and fro in
front of the building, begging those
near her to go in and rescue her hus-
band. When the officers appeared
with her husbands charred remains
she vainly attempted to reach him and
grew frantic with grief.
She was finally persuaded, however,
to leave, and was taken to the house

JAPAN


Wants Uncle Sam to Assume Contin-
gent Responsibility in the Matter of
the Arbitration of Her Differences With
Hawaii.
New YORK, Aug. 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Japan will insist that the United
States assume a contingent response
bility in the mater of arbitration of
her differences with Hawaii on the sub
ject of immigration and the tariff.
1t is understood that this is one of
the essential conditions upon which
Japan will consent to arbitration and
that if this responsibility is not as
sumed by the United States, Japan
will break off negotiations looking tc
arbitration and backup her demands
by naval demonstration in Hawaiian
waters.
The state department has not yet re.
ceived any official communication
from the Japanese government on
the matter, and the administration
has not indicated whether or not it
will comply with the Japanese demand
when made. An official of the Japanese
legation said in an interview:
Il am not officially informed con-
corning the terms of arbitration, but
that Japan should ask the United
States to take recognition of it and as
sumo an ultimate responsibility for
the decisions of the arbiter as regards
Hawaii being carried out seems to be
very natural
IF the United States refuses to give
us guarantee it is probable that the
arbitration proposition will fail. We
prefer to entertain grievance and to
indemnify our subjects ourselves than
to arbitrate after the indignity of the
refusal by the United States of SO just
a request. Neither the United States
nor the Hawaiians can justly plead
disinterestedness Frequently in the
Hawaiian-Japan correspondence of
late, the pending annexation has fig
ured as factor in the situation. This
should operate in the arbitra ton case
as well -

THE CORN CROP.
Heat Does No Damage I'm Nebraska-
Kansas Not So Lucky.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 3.-Copious rains
have fallen all over Nebraska, putting
an end to the hottest period of weather
experienced in many years. The grain
operators of Kansas City, ST. Louis, Chi
cago and the east have been wiring the
grain men of Nebraska to ascertain the
effect of the heat on the corn. Every
county has been heard from and not
one reports damage. In fact, all return
the most fiattering reports of the corn
crop. So much so that the first esti-
to 350,000,000 bushels. The heavy, warm
winds have blown furiously over the
state for the past three days. with the
mercury as high as 112 in some locali-
ties. The corn has not shown any bad
effect. This is due to the great guam
tity of moisture previously deposited.
All the old corn held over from last year
through fear of crop failure this year
is now being released with a rush.
Farmers have 40 100000 bushels of this
old grain and cannot get cars fast
enough to get it out.
Emporia. Kan, Aug 3.-Hot winds in
Lyon and adjoining counties have
dried and burned up everything in the
way of crops. Corn will not average a
bushel to the acre and is unfit for fod-
der. Cattlemen here are desperate, as
there is no pasture, and are rushing
cattle to market until there are not cars
enough to meet the demand. The apple
crop, which promised so well, has also
been destroyed within the past few
days. Even kaffir corn and cane are
shriveled up, but the farmers claim
they will recover with the first rain.
These and alfalfa are about all there is
hope for now.
Kansas City, Mo-. Aug. 3.-Reports as
TO the condition of the corn crop in
Kansas and western Missouri continue
TO be discouraging. Throughout the
district the weather continues scorch-
ing hot and nothing but soaking rain
can save the crop.

ARDMoRE, l. T.. Aug. ). Horace Glib
son, stockman just in from near the
Indian reservation, reports the Kiowa
and Comanche Indians putting on war
paint, and says an uprising of the In
dams is feared. Gibson says the In
dams are greatly stirred up over the
death of their chief, Quanah Parker,
and will not be pacifed. 1t is unsafe,

walton.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 5.-A dis
patch received here from Fort Sill, l.
T., denies positively the story of the
killing of Chief Quanah Parker by a
gang of lawless whites who raided the
reservation, which act is said to have
aroused the war spirit among the Kio-
was and Comanches. Fort Sill reports
that Chief Parker was one of several
Indians who had trouble with outlaws,
and adds that the reported killing or
iginated in the fact that Running An
telope, a Comanche, was thrown from
his horse and hurt in the scrimmage.

DENVER, Col, Aug 4.-George III.
Eldridge is on his way to the Gilsonite
lands of Utah to investigate for the
navy department. If his report is IA
vorable it will mean that Uncle Sam
will float navy that can hold the
seas for years without docking, and
will, therefore, be the most menacing
in the world. Experiments made with
the mineral substance from the Utah
lands lead the navy department to be-
ieve that if the bottom of ship is
coated with it, it will withstand the
attack of submarine animals that bore
into the steel, and which cost the ma
tons of the world millions of dollars.
