lishment OF stamp mills will result in
greatly increasing the. supply.of the pre-
cious metal and give employment to a
large amount of American miners.
In.the Klondyke region some of the nav
streaks are nearly all gold, and mining
experts do not hesitate to pronounce it
the greatest mining strike on the Amer
lean continent or in the world. One
thousand dollars to the pan is not an I'M
common thing, and as high as 100 ounces
have been taken out in a single pan.
About..S2, 100000 in gold dust has been
taken out so far, and it lis believed that
at least $50, 000,0 900 will be brought from
that country next year. With so much
wealth in sight, and with such an..excel.
lent chance for poor man to strike it
rich, it will be utterly impossible to pre-
vent great rush to the mines within the
next twelve months, and as many who
go there will remain from necessity or
preference, rapid development of the
territory may be expected within the next
ten wears. Alaska is no doubt cold and

in the United States are hard to find, and
as 1t Is the aim of every man to have
home of his own, many who go to Alaska
will take up honesteads, and, with the
fertility of resources characteristic of
Americans, find some means of making
life comparatively comfortable there.
The raising of RENDERS has been recon-
mended and no doubt in few years this
industry will become popular, with the
result thai hardy race of Americans
will grow up in that far away country
capable of reaching still farther north

been living there for centuries and if they
can stand the climate the white man can

there is more of the precious metal in

VIRGINIA PIE DISPENSERS.
How They Manage to Get the Biggest
Slices For Themselves ~


Washington Pcst There is any
amount of gossip at the Capitol regard
ing the situation of Republicans in Vir.
ginia. The statement in the Post yester
day morning that the Republicans would
hold a State convention stimulated the
talk yesterday.
1t is SAID by those who are in position
to know that the convention will not be
called if the quintet who dispense federal
patronage in Virginia can prevent it,
and as they are alleged to control the
State committee, they will probably be
successful. This quintet consists of eX-
Congressman Waddill, Brady aud Bow
den, Gen. Edgar Allen and Park Agnew.
Into the hands of these gentlemen the
federal patronage of the State has been
unqnestionably placed. Mr. William
Lamb, the Republican State chairman, is
not even allowed TO name fourth class
postmaster. In the fight for the Presi-
Dental nomination Lamb espoused the
cause of Reed and went down to defeat
| with the unsuccessful man from Maine
The others, with the exception of Brady
are original Mckinley men and are now
reaping the spells of victory. Brady
was at first for Reed, but climbed in the
band wagon when it passed by and now
| beats the bass drum with great enthusi-
| asm.
The quintet, or so many of them as can
attend, hold frequent sessions at Hotel
johnson in this city for the distribution
OF federal patronage and make recon-
mendatious. There is said to be nothing
more unique in p.ltics than the sight Of
these five dispensers Of the offices sitting
as court to decide upon the claims of
the applicants. Witnesses are examined,
petitions are filel,an decisions rendered
When the court is in session the hotel is
crowded with Virginia publicans of
every class Kind and character. The coll
ored voters appear and ask for messenger
places, while the defeated congressman
put i'll names of candidates for the fourth
class postoifices or seek consideration for
higher positions for themselves. 1t is said
that if contention were to be held reso-
lutious might be adopted if disappointed
office seekers and disgrnntled Repnbli.
cans were i'll Co! troll, expressing antago-
nisni to this method of dispensing patron
age, and the quintet therefore is quite
wiling to let the Situation remain I'M
changed.
In reaching out for the big plums that
have been or are to be dropped from the
Presidential tree, the five Republican
leaders will not be outside of the orchard.
he. slate has been made up as follows:
Park Agnew appointed collector of in
ternal revenue for the Eastern District of
Virginia.
James ID. Brady to be appointed collec-
tor of the Western District.
George e. Bowden to be appointed col.
lector of customs at Norfolk.
Edmund y. Waddill to be appointed
United States district judge when Judge
Hughes retires.
Edgar Allen to be appointed United
States District Attorney.
Verify, it is II good thing to have con.
tributed the Virginia delegation to the
Mckinley column Mt ST. Louis. Among
the Republicans in Virginia, however,
there are many factions and dssentions

A dispatch from Vancouver, British
Columbia, says that Count Okuma, for.
eign minister of Japan, is authority for
the assertion that bis county will oppose
the annexation of Hawaii to the United
States to the utmost. 1t would appear
from this that Japan would go to war be-
Hawaii by this country; but when the
time comes Uncle Sam will take the
islands into the national fold regardless
of what the Oriental may say or do in
the matter. y war between Japan and
the United States would soon show the
people of the first named country the
difference between the Eastern and
Western styles of fighting; but as some
first.class power will have to teach the
Japanese a lesson they cannot find a more
thorough and efficient instructor than the
great republic of the West.
The liberation of 1900 carrier pigeons
from Germany at Dover, on the Engl; sh
channel, has given grave offense to the
British press and people, and some of the
papers even go 20 far as to suggest the
next time such an experiment is at
tempted that the birds and the German
official accompanying them be thrown
into the sea. 1t is fortunate thing for
Great Britain and the United States that
just as soon as some dispute between the
two countries gets at the acute stage,
Germany should step in and make the
British so mad as to forget their cause of
complaint against this country When
President Cleveland excited British ire
by his Venezuelan message, Emperor
William OF Germany very indiscreetly
complimented the Beers of South Africa
on the quick and effective manner in
which they disposed of .Jamison aud his
raiders, an', the settlement of the Venezu-
Ian question was the result of his inter
meddiing. 1t is hoped the carrier pigeon
incident will again divert the British
mind in the direction of Germany, and
that the settlement of the seal question
will soon follow.

The Enoampment.

The Encampment is over and Cha
mute is settling down to business as
usual. One of the things demonstra-
ted is that Chanute is strictly in 1t
when it comes to entertaining crowds;
Chanute entertained the G. A. II. and
its kindred organizations In a manner
satisfactory in the highest degree of
those present.; these organizations
make up the largest gathering that
meets in delegate convention in Kan
sas, consequently there is no order, or
convention that we cannot accomo-
date and as our railroad facilities are
unexcelled, we may feel safe in under
taking to entertain any organization
that can be induced to come. No town
of our size can any where near COM
pete with us in hotel Accommodations
and our private dwellings can always
be brought in to take care of the over
flow. Last week we housed and fed
1900 people and could easily have
taken care of another thousand. Cha
mute is ALL right.

BY vote of AGO to 361 the citizens Of
Chanute have said that the Second
ward should not have new school
house. 1t is unfortunate indeed that
this is thus. The old building now be-
ing used for school house, needs a
new roof and new floor; it woul1 not
be good business sense to try and patch
it up by building to it. Second ward
during the past winter sent pupils to
the Fourth and Third ward schools, be-
sides furnishing large share of those
who went to the basement Of the Pres
byterian church. 1t is not fair and
equitable that each of the ether three
wards should have a brick school
house, while Second ward, standing
second in population, should have a
little old frame building, and but two
teachers for 300 pupils of school age.
There should be respectable school
building in each of the wards in the
city of Chanute.
