small amount OF gold brought from the
Yukon by the steamer Portland was a
disappoin tment to many, the miners who
return unite in saying that the country is
ia bulousIy rich. The claims which have
been worked promise well, and in fact
many of them give assurance of proving
very rich. All estimates of the amount of
gold which will be taken out of the Yukon
next year must necessarily be very rough,
as there is no means of determining how
much work will be done. If men could
be secured to work the claims already
located there undoubtedly would be many
millions of dollars taken out, but the ma
lority OF men vino 60 there prefer to pros
pect on their own account, notwithstand-
ing the fact that high wages can be had
wherever claims have been located and
have proven rich.
Statements have been made that the
steamer Portland on her next trip will
bring fully 50 0OO. 600 in gold, but the most
reliable men from Dawson City say that
no such amount of money will come, as it
has not been taken out of the ground. One
miner who came down places the outside
figures at 81, 900 O09. Now that FL Dorado
and Bonanza creeks, where the richest
strikes were made, have been staked out
for miles and desirable claims are scarce
the prospectors are beginning 10 scatter
out
When the rich strikes were made at
Bonanza and Ell Dorado hundreds of min
ers left paying claims aud rushed to the
new diggings. Many OF them struck it
rich, while others secured nothing and
either returned to their old claims or went
prospecting anew. IL is stated that the
North American Trading and Transports
ton Company brought down $50, 900 of
their own money on the steamer Portland,
but it was generally understood that this
money would not be brought down until
the mex; trip of the Portland, when she
would be conveyed by United States
revenue cutter.
John F. Miller, ex-District- Attorney of
Seattle, writes to friend in this city from
Dawson City, under date of July g. as fol.
lows:
There is an enormous amount OF
wealth in this country-gold by the thous-
ands and millons-but it is Just as hard
TO acquire it as it is elsewhere. 1t, as else
where, is in the hands of few, while the
many are hunting and searching-the
same old story. Ell Dorado and Bonanza
creeks are the richest OF all in this local
ity, and, in fact, are so far practically The
only diggings of great value, and can
say that one might just as

THE NAVY GROWS

The west, or the interior of the coun-
try, little appreciates probably the
growth of the United States navy,
which has been wonderful in a few
years. The government has been ex-
pending millions annually in all kinds
of naval vessels, including some like
the Texas, which refuses To float. The
east took advantage of circumstances
or rather conditions TO build up the ma
rine and first-class warships. and cruis-
ers. torpedo boats and gunboats of va
rious characters have been built and
launched for the navy. The sentiment
sought to be inculcated is that the flu
ture wars of the world must necessa-
Tily be fought on the water, that there
Is no longer a war on land possible for
the United States. Two new vessels
were launched at San Francisco last
week, the Marietta and the Wheeling
They are two of six composite vessels
which also includes the Annapolis.
NickSburg. Newport and Princeton. In
like the other four craft, however. these
two gunboats have two screws and on
~ small amount of canvas. They rank
as link between the composite and
non-composite classes. With these six
gunboatS, now all being finished at the
various yards, the federal navy will
soon have fifteen of the tyDe afloat.

LEEDY,S JUNKE3ING TRIP.

The objections urged by some of our
Populist readers to the effect that the
Eagles criticisms Of Leedy are parti-
san and unfair may afford them the
character of consolation felt by Adam
when he excused himself for hiding be-
cause he heard Gods voice and was
afraid, yet down deep in their own con-
sciences they must entertain conyic-
tons scarcely less harsh than the ones
expressed by us. The idea of COVER
nor running off ON a dead-head excur-
sion at the expense of the railroads and
leaving the legislature in session, which
session was prolonged solely because of
Governor Leedys grand stand play
against the railroads, whose guest and
c0nSeTvatOr he becomes, is both Tidicu-
lous and inconsistent. That legislature
cost the people Of the state d good
round sum every day, and if a prolon-
cation Of the session was in any sense
essential the governors duty was to re-
main at the capital There is no con
stitUtional warrant for the lieutenant
governor TO act as governor in the tenn
pOrary absence from the state Of the
chief executive. and every official act
of Harvey in such capacity is clearly
illegal. Governor Leedy no doubt en-
Joys duck shoot, and fun, and good
time generally, at the expense Of the
railroads. but even if his attitude, and
that of his party, were different as to
less elected for something else and
should have first attended TO business
He was either governor or not governor
in his absence; if governor then the
lieutenant governor could not name the
school book commissioners, while upon
the other hand Leedy could not himself
lame them with Harvey acting COVER
nor ar the same time. His foolish duck
hunt and Port Arthur spree consequent
" involves the legality of the text book
act. Governor Leedy is not so accus-
toned to junketing and champaignes
that be couldn't have postponed his trip
10 the Gulf for a few days. The men
who elected him are not in the habit
of taking dead-head excursions and en-
joying banqUets at the expense Of cor
pcrations. Fifty days Of Topeka hotel
life is not necessarily fatal, not at
least to men like Leedy whose home Ia
BILE never broke down under its load of
terrapin, trufies wine and the like. A
man whose physical conditions are not
equal TO two or three months of Topeka
fare has no business to offer himself as
a candidate for governor, much less as
a sorghum lapper- sow belly cOrn-pO
candidate We understand, of course,
that few Pops will be able to see any
thing inconsistent in Leedy deserving
his post and going off on a special car
for a sniff of wine and a Whit of salt
sea breeze, as Pops are blind to the in
constituencies of their own, but still we
must be excused for holding TO the con-
viction that our criticisms, from a Re
publican standpoint, were well taken.

feint, boldly faces the navies of the
world. the first step for dissolving the
Turkish empire and removing the civic
stain of the nineteenth century, has
been taken and ii will not be retraced.
The Integrity of the Ottoman empire"
has been only pretense for half of a
century to gain time against the inev-
table The sentiment of the world has
crystalized and in favor of the solution
which the attitude of Greece towards
the Christians of Crete affords. There
are but two sides, the righteous and tine
unrighteous sides, and the governments
of Europe are favorable to the upright
eous side, but their peoples for the
righteous side The Turk has subdued
Greece for the last time and Greece will
never fall beneath the yoke of the sui
tan again. The evidence of popular dis
approval of the policies of the govern
ments ofwestern Europe in the Graeco-
Cretan imbroglio are becoming more
ard more pronounced every day. Few
people outside of official circles sharethe
belief seemingly entertained by the
cabinets that the definite settlement of
the eastern question can be Indefinitely
postponed, or that the rotton fabric OF
the Turkish empire can be upheld by
the powers and not be constant dan
ger 10 the public peace. The movement
of the powers against Greece and IN IA
yor of Turkish territorial integrity has
been aptly denounced by Sir William
Harcourt as an "anti-crusade." Who
knows now soon an incident like that of
the sinking of a Greek transport
bv an Austrian gunboat may
convert the anti-crusade into an ire
sistfble force which, after wiping out
the existing ministries in London, Paris
and Rome. might not exhaust itself un-
til the disgraceful partnership between
Europe and the sultan should have
been slIndered for good and the Turk
packed off into mis- primeval Asian
haunts? One thing, however, is certain.

Greece by her bold action has extri-
Gated the eastern question from the
neshes of diplomacy, and has placed it

HAWAII WILL BE OURS.

Had General Ben Harrison been re-
elected, Hawaii would have long since

favor of the deposed queen, who is now

ment of HarrisOns policy has been a
postpOnemeEt until now we find in ad-
dition 10 the British and German desire
10 own the islands, that Japan is actu-
ally endeavoring 10 capture them by
japanese immigration. But Mckinley
will be forced TO meet and settle the
contention. The ruling forces there are
just as anxious now as heretofore for
annexation 10 this country. They have
just submitted to the departmentof state

that the revenues Of the islands arc Suf-

THE WAVE OF PROSPERITY.

''The compensations OF calamity
said Emerson, ''are made evident after
long intervals of time" The calamity
is conceded, the long interval is undis-
puted, and everybody is awaiting the
compensation. The country is now in
the right hands, dependency is at dis
count, and there is little doubt that we
are on the eve Of a revival of better
times. Even the opponents of the Re
publican party admit that a high pro-
tective tariff will at least start things
to going. Untold millions of idle capt.
tai which has been lying in vaults dead
and useless is showing indications of
Initiating the groundhog's dark day
program, to come out and stay out.
Wall street has succumbed, can no
longer control affairs at Washington,
and is quiescent, and honesty takes
courage. There will be no scandals in
the Mckinley administration, only hon
est effort, and confidence being restored,
a period of business prosperity will be
launched within ninety days, or all
signs must fail. The depression has
been to the lowest depths, the pendulum
has swung to the EXTREMIST point, and
day always follows night. The light
of a new dawn is breaking over the
eastern horizon, and soon the sun of
prosperity will be in sight and shining.

Above the silhouette of his solitary figure,
bellied the spangled sky. Deep in the
shadow of the night about him imbedded
lay the world. The fingers OF the trees
clutched at the caress.ng wind TO stay it,
and at his feet the shaken dew-drop fash
ed back the violet ray of the twinkiing
star-the answer of an atom to infinity.
As the lettering figure passed his cane
struck at acute angles softly in the grass,
impeding him not lending him support.
He did not see, nor hear, nor think. The
voices of the night were lost upon his
broken heart, the heart that had leaped al
ways before to welcome natures melodies.
But now he did not hear the contagious
echoing Of the mounting dog across the
fields, or the midnight clarion of the time
recording cock, or the shrill whirr of the
summer insects at his feet.
Now the painful glimmer of conscious
ness crept like cold steel into his benumbed
brain and he faltered as one who has been
called, then CROPPED again in the satin dark
ress.
