SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 6-The
long overdue schooner Vine got in from
the Southern Seas last night.
Captain Luttrell reports that Spain has
another war on her hands, in the Caro-
lines, and that Japan will demand salts
faction for the murder of several of her
subjects. 1t appears that latterly the
little brown men, from the land of the
chrysanthemum have had control of all
trade on all the islands. This angered
the natives and they took their revenge
on the Japanese when the opportunity
came. The whole colony was wiped out,
and now Japanese warShipS have been
sent to the scene of action, in order to
uphold the honor of the flag.
1T was this way that the trouble oc-

BRITISH COMMENTS.
Newspaper Opinions on King Georges
Action.

LONDON, March 9-The Times in an
editorial this morning upon the reply
of Greece to the powers, considers that
she advances no convincing arguments
why they should not execute their threats
of coercion.
The Daily News thinks that the reply
furnishes a reasonable basis for further
negotiations. 1t is stated that Adpliral
mand of the combined squadrons, pro-
posed as a first step in the event of a
negative reply from Greece, that all the
powers should recall their Ministers from
Athens. Probably it would be decided to
enforce the peaceful blockade applying
only to vessels under the Greek flag.
These would not be confiscated but de-
tanned only until the blockade was raised.
Much is hoped in the way of solution
of the difficulty from Lord Salisbury $
visit TO the Queen, and the influence of
the royal family and its relations upon
King George.

RAILROADS IN A HOLE.

What are known as ticket brokers, "
cases from Nashville, came up before
Judge C. d. Clark, United States dis

but on application of complainant rail-
roads continuance was granted until
next Tuesday. The continuance. was
asked after the defendants fled their
answer, which it seems brought out
an important issue which the COM
plainants did not expect. The defen-
dants charge that the compliments
were selling signed tickets with linn
it, not transferable, from non-competi-
tive points. while from competitive
points they were selling unlimited tick
cts at the same rate.

BIG GOLD IN COLORADO.

Silver Cliff, Col, July 24-If find
which has just been made here turns
out as expected, Colorad mayhave a
klondike Of its own, and this old Gus
ter county camp will take on a new
life. The discovery was made by Jo-
seph Faux, last Thursday, a well
known Custer county man, who has
been looking over the ground about a
half mile southwest of here and near
the waterworks. Foulk got out some
quartz rock heavily charged with
sylvantine. The rock showed some
fine gold. 1t was brought to town and
tested. Some of the sylvanite was
roasted and brought out great gold
nuggets.
The news of the discovery spread and
within few hours there was a great
rush for the new diggings. A dozen
claims were taken up before night,
and Friday the whole Of Silver Cliff
seems to be going to the scene Of the
field.
The camp is directly below the Hoo
and Rattle Snake Mining camps.

HON. JOHN Sherman
Resting At AmaganSet,
Long Island
INTERVIEWED AS TO ALASKA
AND THE SEALING
LETTER.
Laughs Pleasantly Over The Letter.
Says Canada KaS More Miners
On our Soil Than United States
In KlOniike- Anticipates No
Trouble Anywhere.

New York, July 24.-The World today
says: Secretary of State John Sher-
man is at the Fifth Avenue hotel. He
will leave at once for Amagansett, L.
l., where he expects to rest for several
weeks. The, secretary was asked what
he thought of the reports that the
Canadian government proposed to en-
force the alien act against American
miners now entering the Klondike
fields.
II do not know" said the secretary.
I'VE have an alien law of our own.
We have never enforced 1t against gold
miners. Canadian citizens have been
free to come to the United States and
mine fro gold under the same terms
that our citizens did. There has new
er been any friction over the matter.
do not anticipate any serious trou-
BILE with our Canadian neighbors on
that score.
when a man has taken up a claim
for the purpose of residence and Gull
tivation we have always insisted that
he be a citizen. The same has been
done under the Canadian government.
Where man has simply prospected
for gold with the intention of digging
into the ground a little, and taking
what he could find from land against
which there was already no claim,
he has never been interfered with on
cur side of the border.
Il do not think that the Canadian
government will change that course of
procedure. If they do it may lead
to fully as much embarrassment to
them as our miners.
From the meagre reports already
received it looks as if there might be
as much gold on our side of the Alas
kan line as on theirs"
Asked about the Behring sea Incl
dent the secretary laughed and said:
The letters published in our English
papers, together With their headlines,
are being too readily received as the
sentiment of the nation. The Eng
fish government has made no response
to the letter received by Minister Hay
in regard to the Behring sea matter
and it's foreign office has said nothing
of a belligerent nature.
England has fully as much, if not
more at stake in the seal trade as we
have. London is the center of the
fur trade, for the world-not only in
the buying and selling of furs, but in
their dressing and preparation for the
market.
These matters will be fairly adjudi-
Gated and that without trouble. Amer
lea has contended, and believe she is
right in her contention, that something
must be done, and done at once, or
the seal race will soon DC extinct in
watersy

THE HENLEY REGATTA.
London Field RoaStS The
Committee.
THE AMERICAN TENEYCK PUT
DOWN As A PROFESSION
AL 0ARSMAN.
Field Had So Characterized Him Be-
fore The Race : Entry Should
Have Been Rejected : Teneyck
Was Lucky In His Pairing
And Drawing.

London, July 24.-The Field, refer
ring to the victory of E. H. Teneyck,
the American oarsman, who won the
diamond SOULS at the Henley regatta,
says:
THE jubilee has been signalized tn
the water by the advent of a foreign
sculler, who by favor of the Henley
committee has been allowed to give all
the amateurs at Henley a specimen of
rowing of a true professional style, to
the utter disgrace of that festival"
The Field then proceeds to recount
it's previous objections to Teneyck's
proceedings here and denounces the
committee, which 1t declares lis in
capable of taking broad statesman
like view of the matter and split its
straw over the difference between a
bonafiide and foreign amateur, instead
of grasping the nettle bodily and re-
turning the entry and allowing him to
return"
The Field contends that the commit
tee ought to have taken advantage of
the RUE WHICH empowers II u TtluSe
any entry up to the time of starting
without being bound to assign any
reason for doing so, which course
would have avoided all scandal
Continuing it's comments, the paper
says Teneyck was very lucky in draw
ing bye the first day and doing his
first work on the second day against
BLUSH, who was i'll, which enabled
him to paddle to the finish of the
course. On the third day he was
hedged from the beginning to the end
of the course, lodging to sided to side
in orthodox waterman's fashion. He
did the same with Blackstaff, who had
raced hard with Mcdowell earlier in
the day, and crowned all when he won
by backing and handshaking his OPP
ponent in true professional style, up
on which comment is superf1uous.
The article concludes: ut has taken
the Henley executive committee a
long time to discover what everybody
else knew; and only now, after this
last crushing disgrace, do we hear it
stated really, steps must be taken to
reject the entries of undesirable can-
didates.'

PUFFS THE BUILDING ASSoCIA-
TON

Macon, Ca, July 24.-The reports

its kind in the country. The secretary

ments and the company expects no
further trouble.
