ACANINE FUNERAL.
Mig Is Decently Interred With Floral
HnnOrS In the CITY Hall Lot.

The funeral of the hre department
dog yesterday afternoon, was quite a
recherche affair in mortusry circles,
and Charlie WestbrCOke is writing up
the same for The Nimble ShrOud, a
Boston undertakers' paper, and for the
Fire and Water, of New York, the
best knawn fireman's periodical.
Game was called promptly at } p M,
ct the city hall, where big John San
ders, with sheet cast lightly over his
spacious shoulder blades and with a
long pair of black stockings draped
tastefully around his cervical vertebrae
and hanging down in front, read the
burial service specially prepared for tbs
occaS on. The said occasion was quite
solemn, and a general bush buttered
itself over the phy>iguomies of the
many mOurnerS present, rs John In his
new role of d. u. gave out a. his
t-Xt, - nd they shall guaw lie. and
shall flee unto the mountains OF Hep
shedam where the lion rOareth and the
whangdOodle mourneth for her first
born John then went OF 10 expatiate
and elucidase and eventuate on the
virtues of the deceased stopping semi
occasionally to utter words of stern.
and it is feared merited ceusure to
Jack Collins and Mcbride for remark
ing on the size of the preachers feet.
At the close of the preaching-such as
it was, the Big Kid and O'Niell the
steamer engineer, sang lovely duo by
Watts-not Jimmy Watts, but his
great-great Uncle Isaac Watts of Lon
don, a duo entitled "Hark. from the
tom s doleful sound: mine ears at
tend the cry: come. get a move on
you, and view the plot where you must
sometime lie, or words to that effect.
Then there was an opportunity given
to all the friends to look at the casket,
but not the remains, as the latter had
become altogether too pronounced as 1t
were, to admit of public exposure.
Mig lay in black cloth covered
box very nicely trimmed with "fXin5"
from the Caldwell Undertaking cOmpa-
ny, handles and all. There must have
been fifty children present and they
had lots of flowers for poor old Mig :"
Phil Young contributed three Jumps of
sugar which were laid on the nose of
the deceased, probably for the same
reason that a two bit piece Is always
placed. between the teeth of dead
Chinamau on burial viz, to pay his
Charlie WestbroOke sang softly Some
day I'll wander back again" and
Chief Connors repeated with more or
less JUNCTION, "Man that is born OF
woman, is of few days. and is full OF
prunes. He cOmeth forth like yeller
daisy and is cut down with the lawn
mower, he feeth also as a San Francis
co flea, and cOntinueth not"
The fire bell was then tolled which
startrd the town to wondering what
was up, and the procession filed out of
the city hall, with Sanders, Mcbride,
O'Niell and the Big Kid as pail bear
ers.
The interment occurred in the lot to
the west Of the city hall, and the chill
dren threw many greens and flowers
into the grave. There were about four
hundred dogs present, all deeply attir-
ed in symbols of mourning, and Gus
Lees two dogs were so effected that
they had to be carried home in hack.

has written letter which has just been
received here. In this letter he says the
situation OH the Klondyke is not very
dissimilar to other gold fields. The yell
low metal is there, but it does not lie
around the ground in chunks waiting
to be scooped up. 1t can only be Sc
cured by patient and uncolnmonly Ia
borious placer mining, interspersed
with many weary miles Of tramp
ing around from pocket to pocket. He
further says that the journey to the
diggings from Juneau is an enterprise
calculated to pale the stoutest hearts.
Beyond all this, winter is already be-
ginning in that region, and any one
who starts must stop over at Juneau
until next May. There is not food
enough in all Alaska to keep the people
who are planning to go there for d

by those in the best position to judge,
is current topic of conversation among

pany is in receipt Of letter from R. P.
Taylor, financial broker of Seattle.
A few days ago Taylor received word
from some men whom he had sent to
the Klondyke section last spring, in
which they inform him that every
claim within 100 miles Of Dawson City
has been taken up, and that men are
rushing all over the country looking fo1

hardship stare many of them in the
face.
Captain Niebaus of the Alaska Com

will be great deal of suffering in the
mining regions next spring. He thinks
the people going are far in excess Of the
supplies that have been forwarded.

The KaiSer'S Government Reiter.
ateS That Our Tariff Bill
Discriminates,
Which Is Incompatible With the
"MOst Favored Nation"
Treaty Rights.
Export Bounty Paid by Germany
Responsible for the Alleged
Wrong.

WASHINGTON, Aug. THE German
Ngovernment has again entered formal
protest against the application to Ger
man sugar of Section of the new tariff
act by which such sugar would be taxed
with higher duty than that from
other countries. It is not denied, how
ever, that the German sugar clearly
comes within the provision of Section
8 by reason of the payment Of an export
bounty, but the contention is made that
the additional duty imposed is in effect
= discrimination against German sugar,
which is incompatible, both with the
most favored nation rights that are Sc
cured to German productions by the
treaties now in force, but also with the
provisions of the Saratoga agreement OF
Aug. %, 1891.
AS to the first contention the German
charge d'affaires, Mr.. Won Reichenau,
In his note to the secretary Of state. ap-
pears to revive the position taken in
June, 1895, with respect to the duties
leviable upon bountied sugars. The
matter was then considered in connec-
ton with the discriminating tariff pro-
vision of Aug. 27, 1894, in relation to
salt duties by the attorney general,
Mr. Olney, who held that under that
act, salt was legally dutiable. Mr.. Won
Reichenau's note refers generally to
treaty Of May /, 1928, between the
United States and Prussia. 1t is OBJ
served by the state department. that 1t is
still without any information from the
German government OF the point raised
by Mr.. Olney as to whether the treaty
with Prussia is to be taken as effective
with respect to other portions Of the
empire, or is applicable only to the pro
ductions Of Prussia exported from
Prussia
AS to the conteS:tion that the tariff
provision is incompatible with the
terms OF the Saratoga treaty Of August
1891, the state department takes the
position that that agreement ceaset
with the passage of the tariff act ot
Aug. ~, 1894, which repealed section
Of the act of Oct. !, 1890. No reference
whatever is made in Mr.. Won Reishe
nau's note to the other provisions of thu
act which extends the scope of the in
creased duties to include all goods upOl
which an export bounty is paid.
