FROM THE FAR NORTH.

Ing no PrOgress-ThOse Going by the
ChiIkOOt Pass Getting Along An Right.
JUNEAU. Alaska, Aug. 81, via Seat
tie, Aug. 27.-The latest news from
the north still confirms all previous
statements regarding the ingoing
Yukoners, their successes and failures
in getting over the trails. At Skaguay
there is found glutted condition, no
progress being made in going over the
summit by what is known as the
White pass, it having proved a complete
failure this year according to all re-
ports. There are now between 4, 600 and
5000 persons campo along the trai
between salt water and up five or six
miles. They will remain there. eating
up their supplies, until spring, or I'M
til they make up their minds either to
go over to Dyea or return to Juneau or
the states Many have already sold
out and abandoned the trip altogether.
some gladly taking ten per cent. of
the original costs of their outfits and
leaving that part of the country.
Those who started via Dyea and the
Chilkoot pass are getting along very
well, since the Indians are charging at
present 35 cents per pound for packing
from salt water to the lakes. Under
present conditions it is expected that
all who are now on that trail will
safely reach the KIondike before the
winter sets in.
Advices from the interior, under date
of July "a, are repetition of what has
been said before as to the richness of
the diggings that had been worked up to
that date; also that some less valuable
finds have been made near Stewart
river. High prices and wages remain
as heretofore reported.
According to recent news from the
Yukon, water has been scarce for
hydraulic purposes, but better arrange
ments will be provided for these opera
tions next year.
Flour is still selling in the interior
for $50 per sack of so pounds, and like
prices are asked for other staple arti-
cLeS.
Miners who were employed in mines
near Juneau and who went to the Yu-
kon river have had their places all
filled by recent arrivals, so that now
there is no special demand for labor
here and it would be worse than
folly for man to come to Juneau ex-
pecting to get work during the winter
months. He should be provided with
money enough to take care of himself
until spring.
The weather has continued favora-
bic for those on the trail, and alto
gether it has been an exceptionally
fine season for outdoor operations, and
comparatively mild winter is ex-
pected.

TROUBLE WILL FOLLOW

The CrOwdlng of ImpecuniOus AdyentuxeEa
Into kIaska, Who Hope to Get to ehe
klondike Country, Cannot Help Hut Re-
salt In TrOubIe-Atready Many Are De-
pendent ON Charity for Subsistence.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Several COM
plants have reached the treasury de-
partment recently that large numbers
of men bound for the KIondike coun-
try, but without provisions or money,
are now being landed at St Michaels,
Alaska
None of the regular lines of steam
ers. it is said. will book parties for the
Klondike who are not provided with a
sufficient amount of provisions and
money to maintain themselves for q
reasonable time without danger of suf-
ering. Some of the tramp lines of
steamers, however, are said to ship
any one who can pay for his passage,
without regard to the future.
The result is said to be that a consid-
cradle crowd is accommodating in the
vicinity of st. Michaels, who already
are becoming dependent upon the
charity of others for their food. This
unexpected situation it is feared, will
lead to trouble before the winter is
over and the treasury department has
been asked to interfere to prevent YES
sells from taking to Alaska persons not
properly provided with subsistence.
No way of exercising any federal au-
thority in the premises has yet been
discovered, and it is altogether I'M
likely that in the absence of action on
the part of the states whence the ves-
sells sail any restraint whatever can be
exercised.

MINISTER WOODFORD.
He Will be Received by the Queen Regent
at.San Sebastian.

He Will be Received by the Queen Regent
at.San Sebastian.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Recent re-
ports from Spain said that the queen
regent would not receive Minister
Woodford until she returned to Mad
rid, but the state department has been
aware for some time that Gen. Wood
ford would be received at San Sebas-
tian, unless the queen contemplated
returning to Madrid very soon after
his arrival in Spain.
It has been unusual to receive for
eign ministers where courts have not
been established, and no court has
been main tanned at San Sebastian.
Ministers Cushing and Lowell were re-
ceived at resorts outside of Madrid. but
royal courts had been established at
these resorts.
While there has been no apparent
hurry by Gen, Woodford to reach his
destination, yet the fact is apparent
that he could not go to San Sebastian
to be received out of the ordinary GUS
tom unless it was felt he ought to soon
begin to carry out his instructions
as to the policy of the United States
regarding Cuba.
AS soon as Gen. Woodford is re-
ceived he will be in a position to open
negotiations with the Spanish minis
ter of foreign affairs, who could not
recognize him as minister until he had
been received by the sovereign.

OBETED HIS ORDERS.
Refused the President Admission to the
Grand Army Camp

Grand Army Camp.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 27.-The presi-
dent of the United States was refused
admission to the Grand Army camp
yesterday, although he had come at
the special invitation of the veterans.
and everything was in readiness to re.
ceive him.
The incident proved one of great
modification to the Grand Army
leaders and excited indignation among
the members of the local committee.
To the president at first it was a
trifle annoying, but a few minutes
after the episode he was having a
hearty laugh over it and excusing the
official who refused him entrance, by
saying that the man was perfectly
right to obey orders, no matter who de.
mauded entrance. The reason for the
refusal was that the sentry had been
ordered to admit no carriage to the
camp.
Later the president went to Cayugua
island, the site of the pan-Americau
exposition, and with mallet on which
his name was inscribed drove a stake
in the grass plot in the center of the
island. Returning from the island the
president lunched with Frank Baird,
and then with Mrs. Mckinley, Gen.
and Mrs. Alger, Miss Alger and Mr..
Fred Alger, boarded Senator Hanns's
yacht for Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 27.-Four Ohio
scientists have returned in anger from
the congress OF the British Association
for the Advancement of Science at
Toronto. They are DR.. VIM. Clark, of
Bera, o., famous for his discovery of
fossil fishes; Prof. f. NJ. Comstock,
the naturalist of the School of
Applied Science; Prof. Frederick
Wright, of Oberlin, who has a national
reputation as an author upon the
glacial period in North America, and
Prof. d. C. Miller, whose experiments
with the X rays have attracted wide
spread attention. They complain that
they were completely snubbed by the
members of the association and were
made so uncomfortable that they
started for home before the convention
was two days old.

WHY DO ITp
Some Pertinent and Timely Questions
and Their AnaWers.

Some Pertinent and Timely Questions
and Their Answers.
Why do the gold powers of the world
combine to cut off the market for silver
for coinage purposes and depress its
prices? Because they think that the
people are fools enough to believe that
silver is not fit for money if it is not
worth just as much when there is NO
demand for it for coinage purposes as
it was when there was universal de-
n;and. In other words, they act upon
the theory that the people are too ig-
ncrant to know that it is the coinage
demand for both gold and silver which
fixes their price, because that demand
is hundreds of times greater than all
other demands.
Why do the gold men call gold "sound
money and "safe currency?" For the
same reason that the gambler who deals
marked cards declares that he is play
ing an honest game. In neither case
would the rascals succeed if they did
not deceive the public.
What makes money? The stamp or
fat of the government. The material
upon which the fat is stamped has moth
ing to do with it. Money is simply
creation of law.
What is the difference between a
Hessian soldier hired by Great Britain
to fight in the revolution and an Ameri-
can citizen who will take money or Office
to aid the mother country to subjugate
the United States by means of the
British gold standard? Morally speak
ing, the Hessian soldier is vastly SUI
perior to the modern traitor, because
the soldier took the chances of getting
killed while the traitor, like the gopher.
works under cover.
What makes the stock jobbers and the
extortionists think that gold is money
and that the law has nothing to do with
it? Because they can corner the gold
and rob the world, and it would be inn
possible for them to corner the law.
Why was silver on par with gold at
the ratio established by law for thou
sands of years and until the govern
ments of the United States and Europe
stopped stamping it, and when the gov
ernments ceased to stamp silver equally
with gold, why did silver bullion de-
preciatein value as compared with gold2
The depreciation of silver after it was
excluded from the minis was because
the stamp of the government had moth
ing to do with its market price; and the
fact that the market price of silver
never fell below gold at the ratio estab-
Iished by law until the United States
and Europe refused to stamp it shows
conclusively to the goldbug mind that
the stamp upon metal making it a coin
has nothing to do with its value.
Why do the gold gamblers and usur-
ers want laws to enforce the payment
of debts while they resist the passage
of laws which will enable the debtor to
discharge his obligations by reason of
supply of legal tender money? Because
they want the pound of flesh nearest
the heart, like all shylocks, and in these
goldbug times they have avoided the
danger to which shylock was exposed,
of shedding blood, by taking the law
into their own hands and leaving no.

MADRID, August 2s.-Senor Sagasta,

declaration on the political situation.
He says it is daily growing worse in
Cuba and continues serious in the Phil

to apply autonomy to Cuba and ex-
presses the belief that the liberals will
assume power earlier than expected.
Referring to the possibility of rising
in favor of Don Carlos, the pretender
to the Spanish throne, Senior Sagasta
asserts that the CarliSts are already
prepared for rising and are only
awaiting false step upon the part OF
the government or favorable oppor-
tunity to take up arms.
