From Australia comes the news of
an impending stampede to the Klon-
dixie. A recent London cablegram
states that the officials of steamship
companies expect to carry 10000
gold-seekers from Great Britain.
South Africa will send large con
tingent, and every state in the Union
will send numerous parties. All in
dications point to another rush like
that which peop!ed Australia and
California. Alaska has ceased to be
a land of mystery and solitude.

If the Union Pacific settlement
goes to congress again, 1t will be-
come a national scandal, with in
finite corruption attendant upon it.
The pressure for postponement of
the sale, with congressional action as
its end, will undoubtedly be great
ard will probably succeed. Con-
servative business men and construc-
tive financiers like Mr.. ]. P. Nor
gan will stand little show IN a scram-
BILE of this sort with our enterprising
and resourceful members and ex.
members of congress. The hope of
the country has been to see this
troublesome matter arranged without
its again being Thrown into the foot
ball field of the national capital for
the lobbyists to swarm about. But
if this is not to be, the history of the
Pacific railways, fraudulent contracts,
Credit Mobilier and all, can be made
consistent to its e.-Oregonian.

Il MAN OF ZEAL.

Whitman has been criticised for
his refusal to leave his mission at
Walilatpu in time to save his own
life and the lives of those around
him. The massacre did not come
without warning. The Indian de-
-meanor underwent distinct change
before 1t eliminated in an outbreak
of savage atrocity. To considerable
extent Whitman had deprived the
old chiefs and medicine men of their
authority, and the deposition ranked
in their savage breasts. They were
jealous of his rising power and pros
,perity, and other members of the
tribes took alarm at the inrolling
wave of immigration which threat
ened to dlspossess them of their
lands and hunting grounds.
There sentiments smoldered for
years, and finally the opportunity
came for the jealous head men TO fan
the smouldering fire into fame. The
immigrants brought wasting fever
and measles, and these were impaired
to the Indians. Whitman was tire
less in his work of mlnisteriDg to the
sick, but the Indians would not OBJ
serve his sanitary instructions, per-
sisted in mixing up his treatment
with their crude system, and he was
more successful in curing the whites
than in curing the red men. An
ugly rumor ran from band to band
that the missionary was casting the
''evil eye upon the natives, and that
he and Mrs. Whitman were engaged
in conspiracy to kill off the Indians
and give their lands to the whites.
Keen students of Indian nature
warned Whitman that trouble was
brewing, but the missionary zeal ran
through his veins, and he would not
heed teeir warnings. If he had been
a more prudent man, he would not
have been the Whitman who lives in
song and story. He would never
have crossed the Rocky mountains
to found his mission, and he would
not have made his terrible midwinter
ride to save Oregon to the union

The disaster on the New York
Central railroad, by which the Buffalo
express was thrown into the Hudson
and many lives lost, is one of the
most distressing railway accidents in
recent years. So far as investiga-
tions have proceeded, the managers
of the road and their employees in
charge of the train, do not appear
accountable for the wreck, the theory
being that the foundation of the
roadbed was undermined by the
water in manner which only its
collapse could disclose. 1t is well
known that the New York Central is
one of the most carefully managed

The BeIIaire steel works started up
yesterday forenoon with a number OF
new employees and those who were not
directly concerned in the strike, The
starting of the mill intensified the feel
ing OF the men out on strike and made
them more determined than ever.
Two reports were current yesterday.
One was that the mill was fully man
ned, and the other that limited num-
her were at work. Whichever was
true they made several heats yesterday.
Only one OF the slxty-two tonnage men
had gone to work. The start in this
way was a surprise to most people.
President NJ. NJ. Garland, of the
Amalgamated Association, who had
been in Belalire two days, worked in
harmony with Mr.. Joseph Bishop, OF the
state board OF arbitration, to secure a
conference with the mill company. He
said yesterday that the men had placed
the matter In his hands upon his arr!v-
al, together with committee OF the
local association, and that every effort
had been made 10 secure a conference.
but had failed. President Garland said
yesterday before leaving that he re-
GREETED that conference was not held,
AZ he believed that settlement could
have been reached.

Pioneer Stopped.

ials to this city last evening.
The closing of the Pioneer is
hard blow to this city, especially
the business portion. The major
ity of the business men made many
purchases of'stocks On the strength
of the increased employment Of
labor at the various mining prop
critics. Many noticeable improve
ments in buildings and business
houses have also been made since
the wave struck the country. To-
day things appear rather dubious,
especially to those who invested
heavily. The Pioneer pay roll
during the past few months has
amounted from $4,000 to 3D. 900.
and the loss to our business men
and laborers is heavy, coming as
it does at this season of the year
when the merchant must realize
en- his investments owing to in
creased running expenses, and the
laborer requires every cent OF his
wages In order to push in an exist
ence. Many of the employees of
the mine during the past season
have built comfortable homes at
the Pioneer location on the install
ment plan and now unless they can
secure new situations or have cash
enough TO carry them through,
there is no doubt that some viii
suffer hardships during the winter
only just begun.

IRONORE NEWS
Foreign Consumption Of Steel
Products Means Much for
Lake Superior Ores.

The iron ore trade is passing through
the experiences incident to the last
week Of cargo-moVing. and the statis-
tical showing for the season will soon
be available. Sc far as The plans for
the wire and wire rod combination
have become defined, the move while
revolutionary and full of possibilities
OF changes in other departments OF
the trade. would seem to promise only
benefit for the iron ore interest. The
export programme means a consid-
cradle addition to the outside con-
sumption Of steel products made from
Lake Superior ores, and thus furnishes
added reason for maintaining the
price of Bessemer ores reasonably
close to the basis OF today.
Each week gives evidence Of increas-
ing anxiety Of mills to get winter
business, and what was the quotation
Of only the exceptionally weak seller

also, shows more weak spots; but the

have been widely discussed. Much
more is involved than has been gath
cred from the inklings given in the
past few months, concerning the plans
of the promoters. In one case, at
least. and possibly two, connected
blast furnaces having their own ore
supplies, in part, are included, and
two or three steel plants. The work
of appraisal, which is now going on
involves many chances for bitches
and herein are difficulties that will
require fine diplomacy, to bring the
scheme to a successful issue. Another
question is the quality OF security
that it is proposed TO give in payment
of one third the appraised value. An
oyer-capitalization wonld throw some
doubt on the value OF this part
of the purchase price Two or three
