large SUMS OF MONEY INVESTED.
THE GOLD FEVER.
Capital Making Preparations to Develop the
Riches Of the Klondyke.

Neither the prospect Of suffering the
hardships Of a trip to Alaska nor the
shortage OF a supply Of provisions Is
deterring the adventurous gold hunter
from making preparations to seek his
fortunes in the Klondyke. The mills at
Seattle are running day and night NIL
ing orders for supplies. Some men VINO
had purchased their tickets for pas
sage on board OF steamers going nortn
from San Francisco for $500 were able
to resell them for 81 500, so great is the
demand for accommodations in order to
reach the gold fields.
Expeditions are being fitted out all
over this country and in Canada; Great
Britain is very much interested, and
Australian gold hunters are already ap-
preaching the land of unknown wealth.
That great interest Is shown py
American capital in the development or
the newly discovered gold field Is shown
by the organization Of various compa-
MES which are asking the public Tor
subscriptions to their stock.
The following companies are located
in New York: The Alaska klondyke
Yukon Caribou British Columbia gold
mining developing company, S5.0oO,eo0;
the Philadelphia and Alaska gold min
ing syndicate. 100000; the Exploration
syndicate, 100000; the Kootenay-Cari-
bou mining and investment company
limited, s2,5OO,0 900: the Yukon -Klondyke
gold mining and trading company,
$4,000: the Acme development COM
pany, $50. 900; total. slS,375,OOO.
From all reports, the immense
amount of gold which Is being found on
the Klondyke warrants the investment
of American capital. James X. keene,
the well-known Wall street operator,
has declared that the principal obstacle
to be overcome in this new mining dis
trict is that of transportation. This
fact has become apparent to all practi-
cal men who have studied the situa-

LEADER ARRESTED.
A. Warrant Served on Patrick Dolan While
Leading Band Of Strikers.

The miners strike took n sensational
turn Monday morning, when Patrick
Dolan while leading 500 strikers
through Turtle Creek, Pa, on their
way to the Plum Creek miners, was ar
rested by Constable r. Il. Speer, VINO
served q warrant, charging Dolan with
riot and unlawful assembly. The war
rant was sworn out by Operator De-
Armit. Dolan was soon released on
$500 ball. furnished by Nicholas Oehm:
At Monongah. w. Va, the wives OF
the Polish and Italian strikers attacked
some of the coored men who are in the
mines with sticks and attempted TO
keep them from going to work. but
when they were threatened with arrest,
they desisted and returned to their
homes. The mining situation In the
Fairmont region Is not materially
changed The mines at Hutchinson are
running about one-half their full force,
those at Pritchard about one-third
their force, and seventy-five men are
working at Monongah. Monongah ana
O'Donnel men say they will dig no coal
until the strike Is settled. ]. A. Flick
niger superintendent of the Monongah
mines, posted bills notifying the strik-
ing miners to vacate the company'S
houses, claiming that new men would
be here to go to work at once. The
miners think that this Is an attempt to
force them to return to work, and claim
II the houses have to be vacated that
they will camp out before they will re-
turn to work.
At Pittsburg a uniformity Agreements
was drafted by coal operators Wednes-
day. 1t contains q sections, and when
signed may speedily settle the miners

The greatest water power plant in

ADVICE TO NEGROES.
ASouthern Judge Tells Them That This is a
White Mans Country.

The special term of court recently
called at Decatur to try the negroes.

charged with assaulting Nellie Law

Burford, their alleged accessory. con-
vened the other day, Judge j. j. Banks
presiding. The crime occurred five
weeks ago and n lynching was only
averted by the removal of the accused
to Huntsville, where they were guarded
by troops. Judge Banks told the jury
that the county must be cleared of all
semblance of delay in the administra-
tion of justice. Turning to the specta-
tors, he told the whites he would al
low no demonstration of violence. He
then warned the negroes not to gather
around the jail. saying that If their aid
is needed to protect the prisoners they
would be sent for; but that they would
be imprisoned If they innamed the
whites by going armed or making
threats. Now you negroes go home,
and stay there" concluded the Judge.
"or you will get into trouble. This Is a
white mans country, and white mans
court. and you negroes must keep in
your places"

REsENTs ABUSE.
An American Cities Drafted into the Army
ID Placed in Prison.

Ambassador White at Berlin Is just
now giving close attention to a matter
which promises to involve some diplo-
matte complications. 1t is the case Of
Alfred Wessling. son of a naturalized
American citizen of New York. Young
Wessling. while visiting Germany last
spring, was drafted into the German
army. He protested that he had made
a formal declaration of his intention to
become a citizen of the United States.
although his naturalization had not
been perfected. His protest was abso-
lutely ignored and he was enrolled in
the Seventyfourth regiment. stationed
in Hanover. Recently, for the petty
offense Of chatting. he was struck a
violent blow by his sergeant. Enraged
at the injustice, young Wessling felled
his tormentor to the ground and fled.
Late at night he reached the United
States Consulate at Hanover, COM
pletely tagged out and half starved.
United States Consul Crane persuaded
him to surrender to the authorities and
he is now awaiting trial on a charge of
assaulting his superior. This offense Is
punishable in wartime by summary ex-
ecution after courtmartial and In time
of peace by several years imprison-
ment. Ambassador While is endeavor-
ing to secure his release.

splendid crop prospects. The task OF
adjusting the business and Industries
OF the country TO conditions created by
a new law has progressed with gratify-
ing rapidity and ease. Even the in
creasing strength of striking coal min
ers probably forwards the adoption or
the uniformity plan, which promises
TO remove most of the causes or such
struggles. Some confusion Is caused
by events seemingly contradictory: by
closing Of large cotton mills when
many other works are starting and by
decline in some prices when others are
advancing, but the balance Is unmis-
takably on the right side.
The most important event since the
passage of the new tariff, which was
generally anticipated week ago, has
been the marked increase in foreign
demand and advance in price fos
wheat, the latter has risen 4%c during

first time exceeding last years and

Selling of wool at Boston, where the
