commission, removed during the regu-
lar course Of political removals, was
on the stand. Mr.. Erwin, attorney
for the investigators, wanted to show
that "Powers instructed Mayo to in
struct one Jones to make wrong re-
port 50 that Powers might discharge
him. Mr.. Casserly testified that Jones
was appointed factory inspector and
he was broken in by Casserly. One
day Mayo and Powers and Casserly
had a private confab in which Powers
said Gov. Clough has forced this
Jones onto me and / want to get up q
scheme to get rid Of him. Powers
scheme was to in some way prove
Jones incompetent. He told Casserly
to take Jones out and show him how
to do things in the wrong way. Then
I will have an excuse for getting rid
of JONES' Afterwards Mayo and Cas-
serly told Powers it would not be pol
icy to try to fool Jones and refused to
do it. Mr.. Casserly said he had gath
cred milling statistics for some tine,
none of which had ever been pub
lished."
"Had it not been for the Supreme
Court decision holding that Sutton,
Jones ct al could not hold two Offices
at one time Mr.. Jones would have
been bounced just twelve days before
that decision was handed down." re-
marked Mr...Powers to your represen-
tative, in talking about this matter.
We knew that the case was in the
hands of the Court and we prophesied
its decision, and we allowed Jones to
stay with us, pending that decision.
He would have been removed for neg
lect in office neglecting to make
daily reports, and continual rumors
that he was using his Office for polit-
ical purposes, and for something else,
which wouldn't look. we'll in print. I
informed the Governor that was go
ing to remove Jones, told him why,
and he said: That's right; if he is
not attending to duty discharge him."
The bill to repeal the retraction
clause of the libel law has gone back
to the senate judiciary committee and
it is doubtful whether it will ever
come out. The repeal of the retrac-
ton clause would seldom effect the
country press, while it would injure
the daily press, which when a sensa-
tional article comes in at midnight,
has no time to investigate the authen-
ITCHY of the report, and must rely on
the sender. In case the retraction
clause was repealed it would give the
professional libel shark another chance
at the dailies, but could not touch the
weeklies. Representatives of the daily
papers appeared before the commit
tee and registered their objections,
and brought out the fact that the bill
seemed to have been introduced for
personal reasons alone.

On the kIondike.

Purser HUMPHREYS of the CA. S. S.
Miowera is a man who has studied
deeply into the resources of the Klon-
dixie. He has come into contact with
many men who have been into the
gold fields and has heard their tales.
Then he has spoken with men in both
Vancouver and Victoria who have had
to do with miners who have returned
with treasure. In a conversation with
a reporter of this paper he said that
there was no mistake whatever about
the riches of the gold fields of the
Klondike but from what he had learn
ed, his advice would be to wait until
the Spring. Many had made the mis-
take of going during the Winter.
While the Klondike gold fields were
certainly very rich he did not wish to
mislead anyone. A man might go up
and dig out fortune in few days
while another only a short distance
away, might starve to death.
Another thing was urged by Purser
HUMPHREYS and this that people going
to the Klondike from Australia, New
England, and Hawaii, buy their sup
plies when they reach America or
British Columbia.

cane But the canes looked thin and
weak, compared with the rank growth
and large joints of Hawaiian canes.

every district, but Uji is the district
where it was first planted and is most
cultivated. Some bushes are said to
have been picked annually for 300
years. We were told that the Japan

rolling as is the Chinese tea, but roll

eatiOn-A Chance That the Report
viii show That the Captain Was
betrayed In the House of His
Friends and Was Not Guilty oc
COIIusiOn.
Washington, Nov. 10-The New York
Herald has not published it's Carter story
vet. The Herald claims to have secured
in New York good story, embracing a
copy of the charges against Capt. Carter.
which will be used under a Washington
date line as soon as 1t can learn positively
the findings OF the board
Pending a decision OF the board of offi-
GERS engaged in the investigation of the
charges against Capt. Carter, there is con-
siderable speculation among army officers
as to the findings of the board The only
Information on the subject obtanable at
the war department to-day was the fact
that Col. Gillespie, president of the boards
IN letter to Gen. Wilson, chief of engin-
GERS states that the board has not COM
pleted its report and will not be ready TO
submit II for several days. When the re-
port As published and the testimony is re-
viewed it viii probably be shown that
capt. Carter was betrayed in the house
of his friends, while his accusers may
have failed TO convince the board
that he was guilty of collusion with the
contractors. 1t Is probable that the board
may critcise some of the methods he em-
ployed IN connection with the government
work under his direction. 1t Is said that
Capt Garter completely dsproved the
charge that the contractors were allowed
TO perform the work in cheap and un-
workmanlike manner, regardless of the
specifications That Is the principal charge.
which, II Is said, enabled the contractors
TO reap large profits. It is not alleged
that Capt Carter was personally benefit
ed by the transactions, although 1t is
charged that he connlved at the short-
comings or the contractors at the expense
of the government. The charges are bas-
ed on letter signed by Assistant Inspec-
tor Cooper, and they are backed
up to certain extent by German who
was chief clerk and confident friend
OF Capt. Carter. The latter admits
that the accounts of Capt Car
ter were not always kept in strict
accordance with army regulations.
and these two men are said to
have been the chief witnesses against their
former chief and personal benefactor. At
the war department 1t is said that the
work In Savannah harbor Is one Of the best
pieces OF engineering on the Atlantic coast.
and all Of the engineer officers who tesn-
fed before the board commended the work
In the highest terms.
When the report of the board is promui-
gated, some interesting incidents in con-
nectlon with this case may be written,
which may not reflect credit upon Capt.
Carters enemies.
Col Gillespie has written that the report
of the board will cover the case thor
oughly.
Capt. Carter declines to talk for publica-
tion.

SPANISH EDITOR AT WASHINGTON.
He Reports That Spain Does Not Ex-
pect War with This Country.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Jose Canalejas,
one of the foremost public men of Spain,
editor of Ell Heraldo, of Madrid, former
and closely identified with Premier Sa-
gasta, and the new liberal regime in Spain,
arrived in Washington to-day, acoompan-
led by Capt Vega and Alex Saint Aubiu
of Madrid.
While the visit is unofficial, much inter-
est attaches to it among public men owing
to Senior Canalejas' intimate knowledge
of recent conditions at the Spanish capital,
and also for the facility 1t affords for con-
ference between him and Senior Dupuy de
LONE, the Spanish minister The latter
called naSenor Canalejas soon after his
arrival and the two were together most
of the day, being joined later by Calderon
Carlisle, counsel for the legation, and by
the numerous staff of the minister.
Senor Canalejas accorded to represen-
tatiye of the Associated Press a brief in
tervlew. Having recently arrived In this
country, he expressed himself as little ac-
quainted with conditions here, but as to
those in Madrid he spoke freely.

Spanish accent but there is little or no
feeling that serious crisis will present it.
self between the United States and Spain,
and there is no thought in well-informed
circles that extreme measures, or a re-
sort to war; will result. On the contrary,
the action of the Spanish government has
given every hope of a continuance of the
most friendly relations with the United
States and of a satisfactory conclusion of
the Cuban conflict. A complete
change of policy has resulted
from the accession of the lib
eral ministry and the aggressive policy
pursued by Gen. Weyler is now succeeded
by the more conciliatory methods of that
peaceful soldier, Gen. Blanco. He has

opportunity thus far to Judge of the mild
and beneficial policy he Is charged with
executing, but we in Madrid, who know his
high character and the desires of those
who send him, feel assured that good re-
suits will come from his mission.

SPANISH OUTLOOK SERENE.
PRESIDENT M'KINBEY SATISFIED
WITH SPANS REPLY.

The Paper Most COnciIiatOry in Tone.
No Probability of Interference by
This Country at Present-The Pres
ident's Message to Congress to lie
Free From Anything Alarming In
Connection With the Cuban War.
Washington, Nov. 1O.-It is stated on
good authority that Premier Sagastas re-
ply to Minister Woodford's note, the full
text of which was read at yesterdays cab
met meeting, is eminently satisfactory to
this government.
In 1t the Spanish ministry pledges itself
to correct the abuses of power in Cuba
which was the subject of so much COM
plaitn during the Weyler administration,
and gives assurance of its friendly feeling
toward the American people. 1t accepts
our good offices in its efforts to restore
peace in Cuba, and in a perfectly respect
full and friendly spirit, asks this govern
ment, so far as possible, to restrain the
insurgent sympathizers in the United
States from giving material aid to the en-
emies of Spain in Cuba.
The reply intimates that but for the as
sistance that has been given them by fl
busters from the United States peace
would have been restored long ago. The
reply, it is stated, does not contain a sem
tence that could give offense or be con-
strued into an expression of an unfrendly
purpose or feeling against the government
of the United States. On the contrary the
note is said to be distinctly conciliatory in
tone, although insisting upon the right
and duty of Spain to put down an armed
insurrection within its own territory.
1t is evident that the reply has made
a favorable impression upon President
Mckinley, and the members of the cabi-
net. and it is not unlikely that one of the
features of his forthcoming message to
congress will be a discussion of the Gu
ban situation from which 1t will appear
that there is nothing in the situation to
justify present interference on the part
of the United States.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 10-The annual din
ner of the Home Market club was held at
Mechanics hall tonight. Fully 1000 people
attended. The most distinguished guests
were Congressman Nelson A Dingley of

cheers were given for him.
Congressman Dingley, in his address,
friends claim to see in the result of the
recent elections evidences of popular dis
satisfaction with President Mckinley, and
the new tariff bill. When, however, 1T is
considered that a falling off aggre-
gate has always been an inevitable result
of the relaxation from an intense strain,
and that In every state in which an cleo

carefully avoided the tariff issue, and
gained their only victory in a protective
state through an absurd attempt to run
two republican candidates for mayor of
New York city, while the republicans cap
tured a protection United States senator
in Maryland heretofore arrayed against
protection, it is difficult to see on what
