SECRETARY Bliss has taken cognizance
OF the rush to the Klondike gold fields
and Alaska, and has issued the follow.
ing warning to the general public;
To Whom 1t May Concern: In view
of information received at this depart
ment that 5 200 persons, with 2, 900 tons
OF baggage and freight, are now waiting
at the entrance to White Pass, in Alas
ka, for an opportunity to cross the
mountains to the Yukon river, and that
many more are preparing to join them.
| deem it proper to call the attention of
all who contemplate making that trip to
the exposure, privation, suffering and
danger incident thereto at this advanced
period OF the season, even if they should
succeed In crossing the mountains.
TO reach Dawson City, when over
the pass, 100 miles of difficult navipa-
tion on the Yukon river without ade
quate means of transportation, will still
be before them, and it is doubtful if the
journey can be completed before the r;y-
er Is closed by ice.
81 am moved to draw to public notice
to these conditions by the gravity of the |
possible consequences to people detained |
in the mountainous wilderness during |
live OF six months of an arctic winter,
where no relief can reach them, however
great the need. 4

CREATED A PANIC.
The Failure of a 1ank in a Texas
Town Starts a Heavy Run on
Other institutions.

Paris, Texas, March 23.-TEe Farm
ers' and Merchants Bank closed its
doors at 10 o'clock this morning. 1t
was one of the oldest financial institu-
tions ia the State and had a paid-up
capital Of 100000. The failure of Mar
tin. Wise and Fitzhugh yesterday.
caused a run on the bank which forced
it to the wall John Martin was pres
ident Of the bank until yesterday, when
he resigned.
When the Farmers and Merchants
bank closed It's doors. the news flew
over the city like wild-lire People
became panic-stricken. A rush was
made for the City National bank, which
was a large creditor Of Martin, Wise
& Fitzhugh. and began TO withdraw
their deposits. An excited crowd gath
cred i'm front of the building and along
the sidewalks the length Of the block.
II became necessary for the police to
clear a passage. Everybody expected
the doors to close at every moment At
II o'clock Col George f. Hicks. vice
president Of the First National walked
into the City National with 100000
and told the depositors to come on
and get their money"
The officials Of the City National an
nounced that it would remain open un-
Ill 6 o'clock to pay deposits. This
ouieted the fears of some. but great
many continued to draw out their
money. II is difficult to predict the end.

Barringer at the same place will be
levied upon.
The plaintiff is the handsome daugh-
ter of Squire VIM. Kirk. of South Park
ersburg, and Barringer is the we'll
known and popular merchant at River
side, a suburb of this city, and is also
engaged quite extensively in timber
trading.
The affidavit accompanying the plain
tiff's bill of complaint was sworn to be-
fore thG young woman's father, Squire
VIM. Kirk.
1t sets forth that in August, 1896, the
defendant promised the plaintiff that he
would marry her. Soon after that time,
and that by reason of said promise, he,
the defendant, took advantages of and
seduceG the plaintiff and refused to
keep said promise, and did not and
would not marry the plaintiff. although
often requested so to do. That affiant
verify beliyes she is justly entitled to
recover in said action at least the sum
Of $4,000. She AYERS that the defend
ant tried to persuade the afiiant to
leave the State and conceal her condi-
ton, aqd that he would pay atlantis
expenses, but refused to marry her at
this time.
The charges against Barringer have
caused quite a sensation.

in the Ohio Valley.
Since the robbery. several months

the theft have been of almost daily oc-

Last night two masked men entered

the inmates with revolvers and threat
ened to hang the son of Mr.. Beagle.
They secured about $500.

Charleston, W. Va, March 23.-Au-
ditor Lafollette created quite a sensa-
tion to-day by the discovery Of an
error in the appropriation bin which
will deprive the State military depart-
ment funds for the next two years.
In the general appropriation bill
there is a clause appropriating $4,000
TO carry into effect the provisions or
chapter twenty-four Of the acts OF
1885," the military law.
Chapter twenty-four Of the acts OF
1889 are designated in the code as
chapters eighteen and nineteen. The
last section Of the military bill passed
by the last Legislature reads:
Chapters eighteen and nineteen Of
the code and all other acts and parts
of acts relating to The military forces
Of the State are repealed"
The clause in the appropriation bill
then approDriates money to carry into
effect law which has been repealed.
No appropriation is made to carry
into effect the military law Of 1897.
Adjutant General Appleton appears
to be in a great stew oyoF the matter.
He and the Auditor and Attorney Gem
eral will probably hold a consultation
with the Governor tonight or to-mor-
row in regard TO The matter, and At
torney General Rucker will be asked
TO give an opinion in regard to it.
But there appears to be nothing for
him to do, but declare the clause in
the appropriation bill imperative and
void.
The error may result in a serious
embarrassment TO the administration.
as it will practically leave the State
without a military force for two years.
