A Military Post For Alaska,

Washington, July 27.-The secretary
of war is considering proposition that
has been made to him to establish a
military post in Alaska. At present the
government has no troops in that vast
territory, and in view of the heavy i'm
migration now going on, and the pos
sible danger to life and property from
lawless characters, he has been urged
to create an Alaskan mining post. The
post will be christened Fort Alger,"
and will be located near the boundary
line, about $50 miles west of Klondike
and 1900 miles above the mouth of the
Yukon river. 1t was suggested that
the troops be marched over the Dyea
overland route to the post, but this will
be impossible, in view of the fact that
the British law, like our own, would
not permit the passage of foreign
troops over British territory without
special permission. Therefore the
troops will be carried up the Yukon in
a steamer to establish the post.

lAPAN'S ATTITUDE.
Continues to Oppose the Annexation
of Hawaii.

of Hawaii.
Washington, July 27.--Japan's inten-
ton to continue to oppose the Hawaiian
annexation treGty is conclusively shown
by the latest protest of the Japanese
government under date of July 10.
While couched in polite and diplomatic
language, the protest Is sufficiently firm
In tone to show that japan will con-
tinue to wage a diplomatic war, and
possibly go further, to prevent the con-
summation of the annexation policy
1t is impossible for Japan to view
with unconcern and In spirit Of ac-
quiescence the consequences which
would probably follow the extinction
of Hawaiian sovereignty" the impe-
rial government significantly declares.
This may not mean that Japan will re-
sist annexation ito the utmost" as
Count Okouma Is credited with say
ing in a recent interview, but the gen.
eral tone of the note Is Of a character
to indicate that annexation without
the "acquiescence" of Japan will mean
a rupture in the relations between the
two countries.
1t has already been stated that 1t
is the purpose of the administration to
ignore the protest. Its receipt has been
acknowledged, but the state depart
ment has concluded not to further
argue the question, and President Nc
Kinley will continue to urge the ratifi-
cation OF the treaty just as If the pro-
test had never been made.

Scettdale, Pa, July 27.-The crisis in
the Scottdale Iron and Steel strike will
be reached today. A batch of new
men arrived yesterday, and they ex-
press determination to go to work.
The strikers committee labored with
them unsuccessfully, and when they
reported the result of their interview
to the idle mill men the excitement be-
came intense. Armed deputies are on
guard about the mill property, and or
ders have been issued to arrest any
person who trespasses. Both sides
seem to be preparing for a conflict
which nearly everybody expects and
fears. Connections were made yester-
day so the boilers and furnaces can be
fired with natural gas. and while the
officials of the company refuse to give
any information MS TO the time they
expect to start, their actions indicate
that today will be the time.

Mexlco's Rich Gold Mines,

City Of Mexico, July 27.-It is pre-
dicted here that when the gold placer
mining is developed in the state Of
Guerrero, more gold will be taken out
than in the KIondike region. Some
placer mining is being done with ex-
cellent results, and labor is cheap and
water abundant even in the dry season.
One miner, an old Californian reports
taking out $4,000 in gold in May. and
his average is $4,000 per month. The
Indians in Sonora, who work in crude
way in the local gold placers, only
operating when in pressing need of
money, get larger returns for very
little labor, and an explorer who has
been through the remotest regions
states that Sonora will equal CaIifor-
MIA in its palmiest days as a gold pro.
Queer.

GOLD FEVER INCREASES
Many Going to the Rich Fields Of
the Frozen North.
NEw ROUTES BEING PROJECTED.

1mpossibilfty For Hundreds OF the
Gold Seekers to Reach the Mining
Region This Year-A Military Post
to BE Established.
Port Townsend, WASH; July 27.-The
steamer City Of Topeka arrived yester-
day from Alaska. She brings news that
the Klondike fever Is on the increase
at Juneau. nearly every able bodied
man there either having gone-or pre-
pared to go-to the rich fields. Anthem
tic reports direct from Dyea are that
there is now as much freight piled up
at the head Of the inlet as the Indians
can pack over the divide in the next
Is months. This amount of freight will
be more than doubled when the steam
ers Queen and Mexico, now en- route,
arrive This condition of affairs prac-
tically precludes the possibility of hun
dreds of the gold seekers reaching the
mining region this year.
Frank F. Myers, Juneau newspaper
man, will leave in two weeks for
Dawson City. He will go by the route
followed by Lieutenant Schwatke, who
conducted an exploring party into the
Yukon valley In 1885, This route starts
from Takou inlet, 80 miles south Of
Juneau, from Takou to Lake Testin, a
distance of 1870 miles over level prairies,
and the country from Lake Testin is
an open valley through to Yukon river
by way of the Hootinghue river. With
the aid of pack horses the Takou route
Is by far the more preferable 1t Is
possible that stage line will be oper-
ated over this route. Parties who have
been over both routes say that the walk
Of 1870 miles over the level country is
more easily accomplished than that
of the Is miles over the Chilcat sum-
init. John c. Brady has taken the oath
Of office, and is now Alaska's governor
There was a motley throng on board
the steamship Mexico for Alaska.
Miller, who goes to Klondike as the
representative Of a San Francisco jour-
nal and besides him there were five
other correspondents of California
newspapers, including one lady. All
professions and trades were represent
ed among these passengers. There
were miners and prospectors who have
been in every mining stampede from
Pixies Peak to Cassar and Cariboo,
just as eager in pursuit of the allur-
ing metal as they were in their young
er and more vigorous days. There were
also 30 women, wives of miners a num-
Der of them going to join their hus-
bands, already at the mines.

A Drunken Miners Freak,

Grecnsburg, Pa, July 27.-James
Porter and John Hyde, two striking
miners, were visiting Robert Rodgers,
who is employed in the Ocean mines at
Herminie, little mining village on the
Hampheld branch. Saturday night
they drank heavily. They all lay in a
stupor until Sunday morning about 3
o'clock, when Hyde awoke, and, get
ting an old axe. struck Rogers on the
head. fraCturng his skull. He then at
tackled Porter, fracturing his skull, be-
sides cutting terrible cash in his
neck. The injuries Of both men will
likely prove fatal. Hyde Is in jail.

TUESDAY. JULY ~. 1897.
The. Old DAYS Of Persecution.

Two very novel complaints were pre-
sented to the Police Commission last even
Ing. One was from the trustees Of the
Calvary Baptist Church, located ut the
corner OF Fourth and French streets, com
planning about the noise made by the Sal.
vation Army, who have rooms opposite
the church. Here's religious body inter-
whose noisy religious rights interfere
with their meetings. The Salvation Army
by the use of drums and other articles Of
musical torture, make such noise that
she deliberations of the Baptists are sor.
lousy interfered with. They pray for in.
serference by the Police Commission that
the noise shall hereafter cease while their
meetings are going on. We should think
these saviors Of sinners could got along
peaceably, and dwell in lniy within
stones throw Of one another.
Then the cratic Mary Sweatman who
Is the delight Of the average small boy,
has had complaint lod yed against her Of
belnga nuisance to her neighbori by in-
uui8hu6 AL uuiiy VIVA SNS'y
passer by Of her residence on French street
above Third. There is no doubt that The
boys and even men have been caught an
noying her, but that is no excuse for the
tlra do she INDUCES in whenever slightly
annoyed. Her neighbors have asked that
the nuisance be abated, and the Chief Of
Police has been instructed to confer with
tho City Solicitor and got his opinion on
the matter. Either Miss Sweat,nan or
the boys who annoy her should be removed
and we don't blame the neighbors for en-.
tering q complaint. Nuighbors should
learn to dwell In peace and content'uent
while on this terrestrial globe. There is
rest Oh the other shore, bus some people
are q good while going.
