THE INDIA MINIS.

Would Reopen at Ratio of IL to

New York, Oct. IA dispatch
TO the Herald from Paris.
The Herald is informed from a
trustworthy source that the ans
wer which the Indian government
has forwarded to the British
cabinet, declining to reopen its
minis under an agreement with
France and the United States, is
causing considerable difficulty in
English government circles.
\ majority of the cabinet is dis
inclined to override the opinion
of its Indian advisors on a ques-
ton which principally affects In
dia, but several members of the
cabinet feel that the government
lis too far committeeman so
much vis-a-vis to other govern
ments as vis-a-vis to large num-
bre of its own supporters to the
policy of an international settle
withdraw. At the present moment
it is impossible to foretell the out
come of the differences of opinion,
but the resignation of at least two
influential cabinet ministers is
not improbable.
Meanwhile, it is interesting to
know that the refusal of India of
155 to 1. Indian statesmen for
see the greatest difficulty arising
out of a sudden jump in the price
of silver to God, which, it is fear,
ed would revOlutionize the com
mercial relations and lead to the
ruin of the many merchants en-
gagged in trade with Asia. On a
basis more nearly corresponding
with the present price of silver
for instance, on the basis of 159d
per rupee, that is to say 42d per
ounce for silver as the standard
India would Immediately open
her minis. Perhaps the English
cabinet will try toaegotiate on
such lines before finally rejecting
Senator Wolcott's proposals.

New York, Oct. IA dispatch
to the Herald from Havana says;
Capt. Gen. Weyler's rule in
Cuba will end with the present
week. Gen. CastellanOs will act
as captain general until BlancO's
arrival in Havana from Spain on
Saturday next, when he will i'm
mediately take the oath of office.
Gen. Weyler, although express
ing regret that he has been recall
ed before he had succeeded in
crushing the revolution, takes the
matter philosophically and is
making preparations to sail on
October 20. He persists in main
tanning that his methods are the
only ones that will eventually
force the insurgents to surrend-
er.
In the meantime the rebels
show no signs or willingness to
negotiate for peace on the basis
of autonomy, on the contrary they
are preparing to take the aggres-
sive. The large force that start
ed westward last week, it is re-
ported, includes a company of ar
tillery. The intention is evident

Difference of Opinion as to Re

sumption Agreement.
Portland, Ore, Oct. 1.-THE
settlement of the difficulties be-
tween the Union Pacific and the
Oregon Short line created quite a
stir in railroad circles here today.
The dispatch conveying informa,
ton of the settlement was inter-
preted here by the Union Paci-
fic officials as meaning that
through business over the Short
Line and the O. r. & n. to Port
land was to be resumed, but O..
Il. & n. officials deny that any
agreement for resumption of
Through traffic over their road by
way of the Union Pacific has been
made. The dispatch conveying
the information came from Gener-
al Passenger Agent Lomax, of the
Union Pacific, and is as follows;
Resume the sale of through
tickets, both one way and round
trip via the Union Pacific to
points on the Oregon Short line
at the Short line rates that were
in effect prior to October l."
The O. r. & n. people say the
above dispatch has no reference
TO Portland business, but if true,
means only the Montana business
in which the sort line was inter-
ested. The through business to
Portland over the Union Pacific
would require the cooperation of

operation was solicited and their
agreement obtained no through

ROTTEN YUKON STEAMER
UnSeaWOrthy Boats On The
Yukon Line
CONTRACTORS UNABLE TO CAR
RY THEIR PASSENGERS AS
AGREED UPON.
There Is Trouble Brewing On Ac'
count Of Passengers Who Have
Paid Their Transportation
And Being Left On The
Line-0ther News.

San Francisco, Cab, Oct. Ia
Captain Herring, of the revenue
cutter Thomas COrwin, states
that many of the steamers going
up the Yukon are unseawOrthy,
and he strongly advises prospec-
tors, especially those from the
east, not to buy tickets on any
vessels until they are satisfied
they will be able to make the trip.
When the COrwin left st. Mich
aels on September IA, the steam
er Hamilton had started up the
Yukon, expecting to winter
wherever timber could be found.
The Seattle No. 1 was also going
up with Mayor Wood and party.
She will also winter on the Yu-
koH. The S. b. Merwin, and old
side wheeler, carrying lao pas
sengers, and the Mare Island
have started from Dutch Har-
Dor for winter quarters, but it is
doubtful whether they will get
further than st. Michaels as they
have sixty miles of rough water
to cross and both are cranky river
boats.
The steamer Eliza Anderson
still remains at Dutch Harbor
but her passengers have gone on
to st. Michaels on the schooner
BaranOff. They wanted to board
the Merwin but the captain de-
clared that he could not accom-
modate them. They were per-
sistent and wanted to draw lots
with those already on that vessel,
for the use of sleeping quarters.
Upon the captain refusing this
request some of the AndersOn's
passengers became aggressive and
blOOdshed was only averted by
the action of Capt. Herring, who
strongly advised all parties
against any breach of the peace.
There is intense feeling against
the promoters of these winter ex-
petitions to the Klondike and SER
iOus trouble may yet occur.
Statements by Capt. Herring,
regarding the seawOrthiness of
the old river boats sent to the Yu-
kOn. are cOrrOborated by DR.. Shell
don jackson. There is plenty of
coal at Dutch Harbor and in Al
aska, a supply having been re-
Gently landed by the steamer
Bristol. At Dutch HarbOr sew
enty-five men are engaged in put
tin together two river steamers
which were taken to that place in
sections. About 1000 miners
and prospectOrs will winter at
st. Michaels, coming from both
north and south. There are two
hotels already and another is in
the course of construction and
food is said to be plentiful.
The steamer Portland may be
at Seattle about October
22, the Cleveland may come in
her stead, as it is doubtful which
one will start first. The steam.
er will bring the last batch of
miners who will leave the KlOn-
dixie for the winter with the re-
suit of their seasons work. 1t is
possible that a large amount of
treasure may be brought and the
Bear has been ordered to act as
convoy to the first departing
treasure laden vessel from the

ing week will offer to New York
and Chicago people wedding of
unusual interest. 1t will be that
of Miss Marie Hitch, daughter of
Capt. +. V. Hitch, of 255 East
Ontario, to Henry George, Jr., of

Although they became engag-
ed in the summer no formal an
nOuncement has been made and
the arrangements for the wed
ding are as yet in their infancy,
no date having been set. Miss
Hitch is a typical southern girl
claiming New Orleans as her
birth place. She is but 10 years
of age and is little known in the
social world, owing to the fact
that she has Travelled extensive
ly since making her residence in
Chicago. Miss Hitch has receiV>

blessed than hers in the love and
tireless aid and encouragement of a
true and devoted wife. Born and
reared in the Sunny South, she had
all the sweet characteristics and de-
lightful ways of the women of that
section. but she was in no sense a
butterfly, and as friend we'll said
of her: In her home and in the
church she was a benediction, a
blessing and a power No children
had ever come to her and lived to
bless her, and upon a little orphan
girl adopted into her home she
showered all the love of a mothers
heart. Words of comfort for the
husband in his hour of affliction
would be inadequate to express the
