Stocks-To-day's stock market was
characterized by great irregularity, prices
of many stocks remaining remarkably
stable, even on large transactions, while
the price movement of others was wide
and erratic to the last degree and quite
independent of any general influence or
harmony of tendency with others. Sugar
was the sensational feature, and covered
a range of nearly points during the day.
There was no news regarding the stock
received during the day that was not
known at the opening of the market. But
the speculative traders drew some deduc-
lions from the facts already known that
led to very excited trading in the stock.

LAKE IN ALASKA.

1t Contains Coal Oil in an Unlimited
Quantity.
San Francisco, Aug. Awhile the
whole world is excited over the gold
discoveries in the North, sight has
been lost of another discovery that
promises to be of great value in the
development of that section.
Some months ago lake of almost
pure petroleum was discovered and
samples sent to Seattle for analysis.
The assayer's report on these has just
been made public, and the find is re-
ported to be of incalculable richness.
A company has been formed in Seattle
to handle the product, and travellers
from there say that the company in
tends to put it on the Alaskan market
at once.
The lake is of unknown depth, sew
eral miles wide and five or six in
length, and the quality of the petrol
cum is said to be of the finest. It is
fed by springs and the hills surround
ing it are said to be rich in coal and
asphalt. The lake is only two miles
from the ocean, so that the difficult
ties of transportation are reduced to a
minimum. 1t is the intention of the
owners of the lake to take it's product
right into the mining camps of North
ern Alaska wherever the waterways
will permit.

INSURGENTS IN SANTA CLARA

Surprised the Spaniards by Appearing
Suddenly in the Streets.
Havana, Aug. 6.-The insurgents
dynamited the culvert near Esperanto
railroad station, near the city of Santa
Clara, July 80. The culyert was de-
stroyed. traffic being stopped and all
telegraph communication cut Off. The
authorities signalled by heliograph for
relief from Cienfuegos.
The next day, while the local forces
were patrolling the town, they came
suddenly upon group of insurgents In
the center of one of the streets. They
challenged, and the insurgents opened
fire. The authorities are at loss to
know how the insurgents entered the
town and succeeded in getting by the
fort garrisoned by the third regiment OF
local guerillas, which was at the end OF
the street. AS soon as the insurgents
were discovered, panic ensued among
the residents, women and the aged flee
ing through the streets and begging for
protection, while the men took sides
with the insurgents or joined the Span
iards. Stores were looted, the invaders
providing themselves with food, cloth
ing and cash. The military commander
ordered the garrison to assist the patrol
men. who were intrenched in Broad
way. The insurgents were finally re-
pulsed, the regular troops losing one
killed and 10 wounded. The insurgents
left four killed and took away about 20
wounded.

MATTER OF ONE WORD
An Alleged Blunder in the
Alaska Boundary Treaty.
IT WILL CAUSE SOME TROUBLE
Boundary Thus Fixed Gave Us Immense
Territory Which England Now
Seeks to Reclaim.

Ottawa, Aug. 6.-R. w. Scott, sec
retary of state, was interviewed regard
ing the statement from Washington
claiming that Great Britain, on the
official maps, had drawn the boundary
line on the Pacific coast so as to deprive
the United States of hundreds of miles
OF territory adjoining the Clondyke gold
fields. He said he had gone into the
question with member of the Mac
kenzie administration in 1878, and the
point now raised was discussed then.
The treaty of st. Petersburg OF
1895, said he, "defnes the line divid-
ing Russian territory, now Alaska, from
British by line drawn north from the
foot of Prince of Wales island through
Portland channel until it struck the
mountains, when the method of delim-
itation was set forth. The map will
show that line running north from
the foot of Prince of Wales island must
60 through the Benin canal, and that
to reach Portland canal the line would
have to go east through the open sea a
considerable distance before it could
reach Portland channel or canal.
The British contention as shown bv
the dispatches of George Canning to Sir
Charles Bagot, when British ambassa-
dor to St. Petersburg, is that Portland
was to be in British territory and the
words Portland canal in the conven-
ton was mistake for Benin canal or
else what is now called Portland canal
was not then so called. This is sup
ported by the physical impossibility of
running line due north through Port
land canal from the foot of Prince of
Wales island, SO that Canadian maps
show the boundary line as running
north through the Benin canal
''The difference is great in view of
the discoveries of gold, and it can only
be settled by international arbitration.
The disputed territory with the 10
marine leagues back from the coast
added could not, however, embrace the
present gold fields of the Clondyke,
which are clearly in British territory,
because they are we'll east of the 141st
meridian, which is the recognized
boundary to the north"

No Material Change iu the Strike Stu
ation-More Miners Walk Out.
Pittsburg, Aug. 6.-The miners
strike situation has not changed ma
terially from yesterdays reports. Ev-
erything about the Turtle Greek camp
was quiet the only ripple of excitement
being the hearing of President OF Dolan
apd other officials of the miners for
holding an unlawful assemblage. The
strikers claim 90 new accessions to
their ranks from the Plum Creek mines
today. A careful estimate OF the men
now at work in that mine shows 2l5 OF
the usual total of 285. No work was
done at the Oak Hill or the Sandy Greek
mines.
The camp was reduced in number to-
day by 800 men. They were sent to
their homes and because the men were
not inclined to respond to the numerous
marching orders imposed on them.
The camp has been costing $500 day
to keep it in provisions, etc., being At
the rate of cents per day per man. as
against Is cents per day in the Natlonai
Guard encampments. The camp Is
now under strict military discipline,
and everything is moving like CLOCK
work. The customary march Will De
made to Plum Greek in the early
morning, and will be continued daily.

nension in the DeArmitt mines is COM

EASY ROAD TO CLONDYKE.
A Salem Man Claims One Could b,
Quickly Opened.

0HICkAy Opchcus
New York, Aug. ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: There
is short and easy route to the rich
gold fields of the Clondyke, according
to communication to the interior de-
partment, from j. NJ. o. Lewis, a civil
engineer, of Salem, Or, who says he
can open up at small expense route
from south of the Copper river by
which the Clondyke may be reached
by journey of not much more than
800 miles from the coast.
The route which he proposes will
start in from the mouth of Cop
per river near the 20mile glacier, a bout
% miles east of the entrance to Prince
Williamsound. He says Copper river
is navigable for small steamers for
many miles beyond the mouth of its
principal eastern tributary, called on
the latest maps the Chillina river,
which is itself navigable for consider
able distance.
From the head of navigation on the
Chillina, Mr.. Lewis says either high
road or railroad could be constructed
without great difficulty or heavy grade
through what the natives call "Low
pass.'' probably sco!ai pass. From
this pass, the road would follow the
valley of White river to the point where
it empties into the Youkon On the edge
Of the Clondyke gold fields.

MEASURES OF RETALIATION.
San Francisco Outfitters Will Appeal to

San Francisco Outfitters Will Appeal to
the Government.
San Francisco, Aug. 3.-Merchants
of this city. who have profited by the
Clondyke excitement are considering
seriously the advisability Of commune
eating with the treasury department in
Washington and asking for retaliatory
measures against the new Canadian
tariff. It has been estimated by many
of them that nearly 100000 have
been expended within the last few
weeks in this city in the purchase of
supplies and outfits for the Yukon
mines.
Since the news was published that
the Canadian government had imposed
a high protective duty on all goods
coming across the border and would
send force of mounted police to col
lect the duty there has been q large
falling off in purchases. No definite
plan has yet been decided upon by the
projectors. except that they contem-
plate holding a meeting with view OF
securing the assistance of the chamber
of commerce and board of trade in fur
thering the movement. It is thought
that the popular sentiment throughout
the country will result in substantial
assistance from other states and steps
will be taken as soon as temporary
organization is effected to have the
merchants of Portland, Seattle and Ia
coma unite in the project.

THE NICARAGUA Canal
PRESIDENT Is Determined That This
Country Shall Build tt

e.
Washington, Aug. 6.-No matter
what the attitude of the Greater Rennb.
Tic OF Central America may he, it is the
intention of the administration to roc
ommend governmental control OF the
Nicaragua canal when congress assem-
bles next December. This was made
plain at conference at the state depart
ment participated in by Assistant Sec
retaries Adee and Cridler, Senator Nor
gan, former Senator Miller and Mr..
Merry, the recently appointed minister
to Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa RIGA,
regarding the complications which have
grown out of the refusal of the govern
ments of Nicaragua and Salvador to re-
ceive Mr.. Merry.
1t is practically decided that Mr..
Merry shall go to Costa Rica, and that
the headquarters of the legation shall
be transferred to that country from
Nicaragua. No steps, will be taken to
make the transfer, however, until the
governments of Nicaragua and Salvador
have again been heard from.
The administration believes there is
no necessity of entering even into new
convention with Nicaragua with view
to securing authority for the construc-
ton of waterway. The programme
which will follow will be based on the
provisions of the convention now in
force, as we'll as the concession which
was granted to an American company
by the Nicaraguan government for the
construction of the canal. This conces.
sion will not expire for three years.
Acting in accordance with instruc-
ton of the state department., Minister
Baker is watching every move of the
opponents of the canal in Nicaragua
and reporting to the state department,
SO that in case of necessity prompt ac-
ton may be taken by the authorities.
The Walker commission, which has
been holding meetings at the state de-
partment, will make preliminary re-
port to congress at the beginning of the
session, setting forth it's estimate
Should this report show that the cost
will not be greater than 500, 600, 600
the president will probably have some
thing to say in his first annual message
in regard to the advisability of the pas
sage of bill by congress guaranteeing
the construction of the canal under
governmental control.

Governor Atkinson's Advice to the

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 5.-Gov-
ernor Atkinson has written to Messrs.
Gompers, Sovereign and Ratchford, a
committe on behalf of the striking
miners who called on him to inquire
concerning the injunction against them.
They asked what were their rights in
connection with addressing the miners.
The governor reminds them that his
office is executive, and that he cannot
interfere with the action of the courts,
but, he goes on to say, in his opinion
there is the utmost freedom allowed in
discussion in public places On any SUBJ
ject, the only restrictions being that
they must not trespass upon the prop
erty OF others, nor incite to riot or un-
lawful violence. He assures the men
that he will protect all citizens in the
exercise Of rights Of free speech, warn
ing them at the same time that if they
abuse that right by interfering with
the rights or property of others, he will
just as theoretically use the power OF
the state to repress all lawlessness and
preserve the peace.

TURKISH VESSELS FOR CRETE

Sultan Will Strengthen His Fleet in
Those Waters.
Constantinople, Aug ga dispatch
from the Dardanelles today announces
that a second naval division OF the
Turkish fleet consisting of seven war
ships, has sailed for the island of Crete.
Fears are expressed here that the de-
parture of the Turkish naval div sion
NAV lead to collision with the inter-
national feet in Cretan waters, in view
of the announcement of the foreign adj
mirals that they have decided to OPP
pose by force the landing of Turkish
reinforcements in the island of Crete
It has been reported for some time
that the Turkish government is con-
templating landing additional Turkish
troops in Crete, and on Thursday last
the admirals in command of the for
eign fleets In Cretan waters held con-
ference to oppose by force the landing
of Turkish reinforcemente in Crete.
They notified Ismael Bey, the Turkish
civil governor, of the decision arrived
at. but the Turkish governor replied
that he could not accept such decision,
apparently taking the ground that the
port would persist in its intention to
reinforce the Turk ish garrison in Crete.
Only the man who looks away from
himself has ideas.
