Mounted Police of the North

Will Not Allow KIOndike Pill

SUPPLY OF PROVISION
To Enter British Territory
Sends Them Back
To the Coast - Impossible to
Get Provisions Carried.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 9.-The steamer
Queen, which arrived from Alaska,
brought word that the mounted police of
the northwest territory meeting all
people bound for the Yukon country at
the British line, beyond White and Juneau
passes and compelling all who have not a
years supply of provisions to return to
the coast. But few of the fortune seek
ers who have left Tacoma and the sound
within the last few weeks for Dyea or
Skaguay had crossed the passes into the
interior when the Queen left Dyea, July
%.
The first pack train over White pass
was expected back at Skaguay the day the
Queen sailed from there.
Rev. Alfred Hummer of Oakland, Cal,
went ashore at Skaguay and reports he
was told by two men there that it would
cost $500 to have their supplies, weighing
1900 pounds, carried over the pass. Mr..
Hummer and Captain Carroll of the
steamer, warn every one not to attempt
to enter the Yukon country before next
spring. The captain says not even those
who are now at Skaguay OF Dyea will be
able to reach the interior this winter,
principally because supplies can not be
gotten over the passes. Indians are hard
at work packing and all the horses avail
able are pressed into service. Men can
pack they say, but seventy-five pounds
one way and the round trip is seventy
two miles.
The Queen met the steamers Mexico
City of Topeka and Islander, bound for
Skaguay with full lists of gol~-seekers.
Victoria, B. c., Aug. 3.-The steamer
Queen arrived from the north this morn
ing. She brought no late news from the
mines, but reports that 400 people are
camped at Skaguay bay and fifty at Dyea-
They are unable to have goods taken into
the interior as the packers can not ham
die the business. There will be terrible
crush there when the boats that left here
after the Queen, seven in number, arrive
there. 1t is safe to say that not half OF
the men will get away from Skaguay bay
this year and even with the large number
of horses on the way up, it will be impos-
sible to handle the freight.

GREATER THAN NIAGARA'S
The Biggest Water Power Plant in
1.-THE World to Be Built on the
St Lawrence River.

New York, Aug 3.-The greatest wa
ter power plant in the world is to be
in operation within a few months. if
the plans of the corporation controlling
it meet with no obstruction. 1t is in
tended to take power from the St.Law-
renee river and, by means of a system
of turbines of 5000 horse power each,
operate an electric plant of almost in
calculable strength.
John Bogart, the engineer, of Wall
street, has prepared the plans and the
contracts are ready to be let. The finan-
cial part of the business-a company
with a capital of millions of dollars-is
in the hands of Stewart & Co., of Wall
street Mr.. Stewart has everything in
proper shape now and the work is al
ready going on.
The plant is in an immense building
near Massena, N. Y, on the United
States side of the st. Lawrence The
st. Lawrence, in the neighborhood of
Messena, has a fall of Sc feet in dis
lance of about seven miles, and the
Grass river at Massena is so feet lower
than the st. Lawrence.
The plant is to be even greater than
that at Niagara Falls, because with all
the force of the long rapids of the St
Lawrence behind it there is to be prac-
tically no limit to its potency. AS
showing the general confidence in the
enterprise, 100000 worth of bonds
have been underwritten by an English
company to build the plant

PEACHES FOR A SONG.
Fine Grades of Early Colorado Fruit
Peddled on the Streets at IS
Cents a Basket

Denver, Aug. 3.-Denver is getting its
first taste of cheap fruit. The bottom
dropped out of the peach market yester-
day, peddlers selling as low as % cents a
box for fine grade of early peaches. The
market was glutted, the fruit was ripe
and had to be moved SO it went at whats
ever price it would bring. The Italian
peddlers got a benefit, and wagons were
scattered all over the city in the after
noon, selling peaches at less than cost to
the grower. They were offered at the
retail stores as low as 80 cents, and from
that price up to SO cents for the very best.
Nearly all were the early variety OF
clings, which are not considered good
sellers.
I'VE had to do something with the
peaches" said H. NJ. Stone, the agent OF
the Western Slope association, which sup
piled the great part of the peaches, $50
we sold at prices that would enable the
people to buy. The class of peaches we
have been bringing in thus far is not
so good the later peaches. Next week
we will begin to get in some of our bet
ter grades. Then the market will be
f1rmer, for we cannot afford to sell the
better peaches at these prices"
During the past week the first ship
ments of Colorado peaches were made
east, one car going to Omaha, and an
other to Des Moines, Ia.

charge of the campaign machinery, and
will endeavor to make good his boast
that his new party will be revelation
to the people. After Milwaukee, Chicago
and a number of other cities will be in
vaded. The congressional campaign of
1898 is expected to furnish the leaders of
the movement a general preteXt for call
ing out their followers, and they propose
to try and elect a number of congress-
men of their faith to represent them at
the national capital.
1t is certain that when Debs' plans are
understood they will awaken hostile crit
icism from the POpulists. The leaders of
that political party are not willing to ad-
nit yet that it is wreck and no longer
factor in elections. On the contrary, not
withstanding the reverses that have
overwhelmed it, they pretend to believe
that it is as strong and forceful as ever,
and they will not submit to the Debs plan
of being snuffed out without a bitter
fight.

CLEVELAND INTERESTED.
Keeps Up Attention to Politics an6
Thinks Ohio Will Go Republican
This Fall

New York, Aug. 3.-The Washington
correspondent of the Mail and Express
says that those who think that Grover
Cleveland has given up politics entire
ly and retired to private life, are mis-
taken.
An office holder who served under
Mr.. Cleveland, and who still remains in
office, paid visit to Buzzard's Bay this
week and was surprised at the interest
shown by Mr. Cleveland in matters po-
litical
The ex-president discussed the sit
uation in various states, and remarked
that his friends were constantly writing
to him about certain matters and ask
ing his advice Mr.. Cleveland made one
remark which was considered Signifi-
cant by his visitor. He said:
Il am certain of one thing, and that
is that Ohio is going overwhelmingly
Republican this fall
This inference was drawn by Mr.
Cleveland from the letters he had re-
ceived from all over the Buckeye state

WANAMAKER HITS TARIFF.
Derides the Suggestion That Pros
peritY Has Come.

Philadelphia, Aug. BIN an interview
on the tariff. prosperity, etc, ex-Post-
master General Wanamaker, said:
Whatever else April, May, June and
July of this year did, they did not i'm
prove the tariff bill nor assist the treas
ury that now confesses that it wants
money so badly that it must set back
the clock 16 hours to get $100,0 900 from
importers reassessed for goods passed
on the last day.
What is your idea of the correct
principle upon which to form a perfect
tariff bill, Mr.. Wanamaker?"
THE chief end of an American man,
if he is congressman was the reply,
lis to know how to rightly assess on
imports suff1ciency to make the Uni
ted States the favored nation for en-
p'oyments-just that and nothing more.
If necessities of the United States gov
eminent require more than this the
revenue should be raised from other
sources. Eventually the tariff must be
equalized for all sections, and sit even

GYMNASTIC TEACHERS.
They Meet in Semi Annual Session
at MilWaukee.

Milwaukee, Aug. 3.-The second ses-
sion of the National Gymnastic Teach
ers' association met in this city yester-
day. Arthur Knoch of Cincinnati read
a paper on gymnastics as practiced in
the high schools of that city. He gave
an outline of the history of physical in
struction in Cincinnati. DR.. Henry
Hartung read an interesting paper on
gymnastic teachers.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Suder and Greiner of Chica go, FIeck of
Milwaukee, Whitewater of St. Louis and
Pertuch of Philadelphia was appointed

exercises and an improved system of
marking. This committees report is

enough to fully try the Dingley tariff.
would like to impress this feet. Half
of three years will be passed before the
over imports are used up and all the old
industries are under way again.
Has not prosperity already come
then?" Queried the reporter.
Surely you do not mean to have me
believe that you think prosperity has
come over night, so to speak," replied
Mr.. Wanamaker. 1.-The 4-year-old star
of hope has simply given way to the
two brighter stars of confidence and
permission to use American capital at
home in employing American working
men, but it will get fully started again.
1t will do good to spend our time pick
ing out the flaws of the Dingley bill and
saying what ought to have been and
what might be better. Let us look at
the good that is in it. 1t is now the
established tariff of the government
and the sooner we adjust its best pro-
visions available and such clauses as
are unsatisfactory, as little hurtful as
possible, the sooner the country will
feel the throb of new life and start on
its onward bound of prosperity

PROFESSORS RAISE ROAR
Brown University Faculty Demands
President Andrews Retention.

Providence, r. L, Aug. ga remon-
STRANGE has been issued by the profess
ors at Brown university and sent to the
members of the corporation.
1t protests against the action of the
latter body with reference to Professor
Andrews and asks for reconsideration
of the whole matter.
The document lays stress on the i'm
portance of freedom of thought and
speech, especially in a university where
there should be no such thing as polit-
ical prejudice. The fact is emphasized
that there has been remarkable in
crease in the number of students since
DR. Andrews became president and the
remonstrance is signed by a majority
of the professors.
