KLONDIKE MINES.
Letter From A1aska's Governor on
the Gold Regions.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-John E.
Brady, Governor of Alaska, has sent a
personal letter. in which he gives inter-
esting facts about the rush to the
Klondilxe region. Governor Brady has
been identified with Alaska most of his
life and is believed to be conservative
in his opinions. Writing from Juneau
he says:
Steamships are passing daily for
most with passengers and supplies.
The news just from Klondike by reli-
able men is calculated to raise the eX-
citement to a higher point. The ship
ment of dust from the mouth of the
Yukon win be all of two and a half
tons. Rich finds have been made well
up on the sides of the mountains, and
the old saying that gold is where you
find it and silver runs in veins seems to
be emphasized in that district. The
men who are coming are fine fellows,
and I greatly admire them
CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Seven men, most
of them skilled carpenters, left for the
Alaskan gold fields last night under
the leadership of Captain Barber. The
men VIII build a hotel at ST. Michaels
for the shelter of miners during the
coming winter. The North American
Trading and Transportation Company,
which is sending the men, expects the
hotel to prove a very important stop
ping place on the route to the Yukon

EASTERN GRAIN MARKET.
WHEAT OPENS WEAK, AD-
VANCES, THEN DECLINES.
While the Bulls Had the Situation
in Their Grasp, They Lacked
Aggressive Courage.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Wheat started
weak. The opening prices at Liverpool
were At a decline of 1ad, and the start
here was in accordance with the bear
ishness denoted at the English market.
December was offered at the opening
at from 93c to 9312c, or l and ~ cents
under yesterdays close. The bulk of
the first transactions were at from 93aas
to 9312c, and fluctuations were close
around the opening figures for three or
four minutes. Following that for half
an nour there was a gradual improve
ment, until 943sc, or within 1Sc of yes
terday's closing price was reached. A
dispatch from New York reporting 470,-
600 bushels of wheat taken for export
was given as the reason for the firm
ness shown in the recovery. The very
slight addition to the contract wheat
here, out of 21S cars inspected into
store since yesterday morning, was
perhaps in the minds of specula-
tors. Only six cars were contract, and
of these five were No. 2 spring, a grade
that cannot be delivered on contracts
made to-day for any delivery beyond
the present month.
The advance reached 947sc, and then
one cent of it was dropped in a few
minutes, 937kc being the next stage Of
the fluctuations; then up again to
943sc in an equally sudden manner, and
back once more-slowly this time-to
931kc.
The fluctuations, although sudden,
were not accompanied by much trading.
Scalpers were startled by the sudden
changes, and withdrew from the mar
ket, and their absence added to the
difficulty commission houses expert
enced in finding buyers or sellers when
they had orders to execute. New York
wired carly in the day that the foreign
demand was renewed and fifteen loads
taken by 10 o'clock.
The Atlantic port clearances of wheat
and -four were very heavy, the total be-
ing S66 900 bushels in wheat and -four,
6S1, TOT bushels of it being in the shape
of wheat
The market became very weak near
the close, and while the scaIpers would
not touch it earlier in the day, except IN
the most timid and gingerly manner,
they quickly caught on to the fact that
it was not being adequately supported
near the end, and sold freely. Decem-
Der declined to 923sc, and closed at
92$lc. The closing cables had much to
do with the weakness displayed late in
the session, Liverpool closing Id and
13sd lower and Paris the equivalent of
&c TO 11sc. Antwerp was unchanged.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-It was evident
from the action of to-day's wheat mar
ket that the bull element is still lack
ing in aggressive courage. They had
the market in their grasp all the morn
ing, except for a weak spot at the open
ing but threw UP their hands in the
last hour, despite the fact that export
ers had picked up about sixty loads of
wheat at New York and outports The
Chicago pool, as giving the market
some assistance early in the day, mys-
teriously withdrew its support. De-
cember had been carried up to 9S7sc.
when storm Of selling orders struck
the market, bearing it down to 965sc,

A SLIP-UP.
Senator Morgan Quietly Sped OF
His Way to San Francisco.

United States Senator Morgan was
possibly not aware of the warm well
come with which Sacramento Demo-
Gratis had intended to greet him when
he reached here.
AT all events, the welcome was not
poured into his ears. He was in San
Francisco while his political admirers
at this station were anxiously awaiting
his coming. If the Senator had been
notified of the proposed reception, he
was certainly very ungallant to slip
through the committees fingers as he
did. If he had not been notified, then
somebody was very thoughtless.
However some other party idol may
come along some day, and the same
speeches of welcome will answer by
substituting different name.

Terrible Accident to Henry Wit
tenbrock. the Hopgrower.

An accident happened on Thursday to
Henry Wittenbrock, the well-known
hop grower and capitalist, which may
result fatally.
He had been over to his hop fields on
the north side of the American River
and in coming home alighted at gate
on the Rancho Del Paso. He led his
horse through, but while he was closing
the gate the animal started to leave.
Just how the accident occurred is not
known, but it is supposed that Mr.. Wit
terbroek caught him by the head and
was dragged and trampled on.
However, he was found lying uncon-
scious by the gate some hours after
ward by E. w. Panabaker and taken to
his home in this city. 1t was found that
one shoulder was fractured. two ribs
broken and his skull fractured. He has
since been in a semi unconscious condi-
ton, and up to midnight last night there
was no change.
Mr. Wittenbrock is about 10 years of
age, and it is feared that his chances of
recovery are very slight. In fact, his
condition is very critical.

Following Instructions.

On one of the South Halstead street
cars when it left the neighborhood Of
the stockyards the other evening was
man with a brand new valise that had
splashes of mud on it and gave other
evidences of having just arrived in Chi
cago.
The man wore a black felt hat and a
large checked suit, and there was mud
enough on his heavy boots to show he
had just traversed a portion of the
stockyards. He boarded the car at
Thirty-ninth street, put his valise on
the seat beside him, and when the con-
ductor stopped to take his fare he
pulled out a roll of bills.
The conductor extracted a nickel
from 81 bill and handed over the
change. The man with the valise ex-
tracted silver quarter from Tn.
change and handed it back to the con-
ductor.
Here" he said, so loudly that every
body in the car looked to see Mat was
going on, there's a quarter for your

The Proud Achievement
of an American Pottery.

While we are almost daily re-
ceiving new French China, we are
also getting in many new goods
from American potteries. Some
of these goods are very fine, beng
close limitations of foreign China.
Thus before us, is a White Dinner
Set of semi-porcelain, with raised
white scroll work around the
edges, II2 pieces for So so. OF
course the appearance is not equal
to that of French China, but as we
can see at a glance, there is a wide
difference in the cost. The plates
cost 81 10 dozen in the American
goods, while in French China the
cost would be about three times
that.
1t is certainly a proud achieve
ment for an American factory to
be able to turn out such goods at
such prices.
