ALASKA TRADE.

The t-Intelligence- OF November 26th
contains an editorial under the heading.
The Fittest Win Survive" The article
deals with the question Of commerce
seeking its legitimate channels after the
passing OF the Klondike rush. The Miner
has deprecated the action Of me P.-L in
belittling Juneau and pointed out that
Seattle was grasping at the shadow and
missing the substance The wholesale
trade OF Alaska means more TO a city
than the temporary Quitting business
and in reaching out for this. to the ex-
ciusion of the city clearly entitled to
fair share Of it. the permanent business
viii be lost. The P.-I. says. Tt is ur-
gently necessary that Seattle do not lose
sight of the vast Importance TO the fu
tre Of this permanent trade ,oTyDactio,
with the north" This rs the expressed
opinion Of the Miner. which reflects the
sentiments ofthe cosnmerciaa worhf Of
Alaska That Seattle's vision with re-
spect TO the future has been obzcured
there can be no question.-Aiaska Miner
The timely warning in me above from
Juneau to Seattle may be worth the At
tentIon Of Astoria merchants. Whether
1t is better to cater for the retail trade
OF outfitters or the wholesale trade Of
Alaska stores is the point at issue. As
toria merchants have already established
some wholesale trade in Alaska. bu, {,
is not probable thar they will throw over
their shoulders any trade Of an outitter
who may come along and prefer to buy
here rather than in Alaska. It is for
Alaska merchants to convince intendfn,
miners that they can fit them out better
than can the merchants in the states
The gold seeker can take his choice Of
Quitting places. The establishments on
the coast in Washington. Oregon and cal
ifornia will doubtless continue to adver.
tise their wares. They have goods to sell
and are in business to stay. A miner who
buys 500 10 $500 pounds Of supplies Is as
much OF wholesale buyer as many re-
vail stores, and will purchase where he
thinks he can do the best. Perhaps It
might be good business policy for all the
large stores Of Seattle, Tacoma. Portland.
Astoria and San Francisco to combine
in advertising juneau as an outfittng
point but would juneau agree to buy al,
her supplies from Pacific coast cities?

BIG WHEAT CROPS
Promise Good Prices to the Ocean
Carriers

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The Tribune
says: The rise in ocean freight rates for
grain-carrying steamships is found to be
extending to all grades of ocean freights
and steamship companies are looking
forward to a season of great prosperity.
The large demand abroad for American
wheat has caused hardening of wheat
transportation prices at high figure,
which is bound to go still higher when
shipments of spring wheat begin in Au-
gust. 1t is not certain whether or not
this increase in grain-carrying prices
is responsible for the boom in other
freight rates, but it is certain there is
boom and decided one. With the ex-
ception of the season of 1893 ocean
freghts have not reached so high fig
ure as they are now since 1891. In
1893 they were the same as they are now,
but present rates, it is said, are bound
to be increased. Already rates are from
80 to 40 per cent higher than they were
last year in July and so per cent higher
than two years ago.
A member of prominent firm of ship
ping agents said: 1--WE have the good
fortune to have in this country the
greatest aggregation of crops we have
ever known, While abroad the yield has
been poor People think that when there
is a great wheat crop vessels will be
loaded down carrying it out of the coun-
try, but wheat is small factor in the
whole. Corn ie more important item
and barley is beginning to be so, al
though few years ago we shipped al
most none of it."

THE COUNTRY SCHOOLS
DON'T COME UP TO BERKELEY
REQUIREMENTS
Thirty-seven High Schools Must Do
Much Better Work in the Eng
lish Branches

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2s.-Thirty-
seven high schools in various parts of the
State have been declared deficient In
English by the university authorities.
and their graduates must enter the State
University conditionally or pass an ex-
animation. AS the large number Of
graduates affected have until August .
only in which to prepare for the unex-
pected test of their abilities, it is prob
able that the number Of limited students
will be larger than ever. Among the
high schools which have failed to reach
the university standard are those Of
Arroyo Grand, Fresno. Coronado, Mon
rovia, Pomona, San Luis Obispo, Santa
Barbara, Santa Paula, Paso RoblesI
Kern county, Bakersfield, Fullerton
Union, Esparto Union and Escondido.
The onslaught of the Examination
Committee has affected some of the
schools of highest standing in the State
and is almost without a precedent.
ONLY A WARNING
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-The re-
lection of thirty-seven schools as def
cient in English by the authorities of the
State University is regarded by Super
intendent Webster and the school
principals here as merely a notification
to tone up or advance the standard Of
English in the institutions of secondary
education throughout the state, It 10
thought by some that the refusal to ac-
credit English is part Of movement
to restore the old system of uniform ex-
aminations for those desiring to mat
riculate.. The accrediting of schools, 1t
is said by leading educators interviewed
today, has become mere form, and the
demanding of higher standard Of ac-
quirements of those desiring to enter the
university can but result in good.

REPORTS WANTED
Railroad Commissioners After the
Steamboat Men

Steamboat Men
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2s.-The rail-
road commissioners are after the eteam-
boat companies. Representatives of the
Sacramento Transportation company
were expected to appear before the COM
mission at its meeting this evening and
present a blank form for making their
annual reports to the board. They were
authorized to do this at the last meeting
of the commission. The commission is
determined that all transportation lines
within the state, whether they be car
riers by rail of water, shall acknowledge
the jurisdiction of the board and file an
nual reports of their organization and
business operations. This special form
of report, which the steamboat companies
were to submit for the approval of the
board, was expected to smooth all diff
culties between the officers of the river
lines and the railroad commissioners,
but the officers of the steamboat COM
panies have failed to keep their part of
the agreement and the commissioners
decided by a unanimous vote, coneis ting
of the votes of Stranton and La Rue,
that the steamship lines should be made
to comply. Instead of allowing the river
lines the privilege of suggesting spec
ial form of report as agreed to at the
last meeting, 1t was decided to compel
them to furnish reports on the regular
blank forms furnished by the commits
sion,

Several Indians Smashed-No Pas
sengers Are Hurt

RENO, New, July 2S.-One of the worst
wrecks in the history of the road occur
red at 9:4S this morning on what is
known as Twenty-Five Mile Hill, about
six miles west of Reno. The engine was
overturned and thrown on one side OF
the track and the tender on the other.
The road was Uttered with debris, bag
gage, express and mail cars being re-
duced to kindling wood The only fatal
tiles We're those of Indians, fifteen OF
whom were riding on the blind baggage.
Six were killed and nearly all the bal
ance more or less injured.
Fireman Rollins was thrown from the
engine on his head and sustained con-
siderable injury.
Engineer Irwin was thrown from his
engine but was unhurt, except slight
sprain to his back.
The train was a double header, and
the first engine went over all right.
This engine went on to Verdi, and from
there dispatches were sent to Reno and
Wadsworth for doctors and wrecking
car. An engine and a fiat car were
sent out from Reno with doctors and
section men, and wrecking car from
Wadsworth was on hand about noon.
Mail Clerks George w. O'Brien and S
A. Ross escaped with few cuts about
the head and a few bruises about the
body. Wells-Fargo's messenger, J. j.
Burke. was badly shaken up and
bruised.
The wreck was caused by spreading
rails.

BRAZILIAN FANATICS
Kill Whole Brigades Of the Govern
nient Troops


NEW YORK, July pa dispatch to
the Herald from Rio de Janeiro Gays
that information has reached that city
to the effect that more than 5000 SOL
diers have been killed in a big battle
near the site of Canudos. The fanatics
numbering more than 10, 900 men, all we'll
armed, attacked the government troops.
Whole brigades Of the soldiers were
swept down and destroyed, trampled
under foot as the victorious fanatics
with wild, hoarse shouts of triumph,
passed over them.
The full extent of the loss Of life can
not be told. There is no reasonable
doubt, however, that the loss in killed
on both sides is more than 5000. For
miles around Canudos the ground is
strewn with the dead and dying. The
government troops were compelled to
leave their dead on the field and flee to
save themselves from complete destruc-
ton by the avalanche of fanatics.
When the report of the awful battle
reached Rio de Janeiro it was consider
ed by the president and ministry, and it
was decided to send the minister Of war
to the scene next week with 1000 men,
who are now gathering. They will car
ry with them a great amount of ammu
nition, and will endeavor to dislodge
the fanatics from the positions they now
hold.
Fighting has been in progress at Ca
nudos for several weeks. In the mean
time, while the fanatics fought appa-
rently with little heart, they have been
gathering their forces from all direc-
tions. The result was the final attack
on the government troops, which led to
such awful results.
