A CONSERVATIVES LETTER.


CONSERVATIVE LETTER.
& SAN FRANCISCO. August 16.-Thos
IMagee, we'll known as conservative
= business man and careful observer,
: who accompanied his son to Dyea, writes
. to the Associated Press from that point
to the effect that the ignorance displayed
by the crowds fiocking to the Klonoyke
fie,ds Is lamentable. OF the 400 passen-
gers who sailed with him on board the
steamer George w. Elder, half of whom
were from San Francisco, not one in
twenty had any definite information as
to how to reach his destination.
2 While the routes are well known, the
details and conditions to be met with
are not considered, most of the search
ers for wealth hoping to settle all doubts
and uncertainties when they reached
Juneau. Instead, however, further con-
fusion was created by appalling state
ments that there were only two routes,
each of which necessitated the encoun-
ter of apparently insurmountable diff
culties
There were plenty of advocates for
both routes at Juneau, but most of them
were found to be interested parties. The
two starting points Dyea and Skaguay,
are separated by four miles of salt wa
ter. One Dyea trail goes over Chilkoot
Pass, which involves climb of $500 feet,
while the other, whcih is not yet COM
pleted, has a 2650-foot climb over the
White pass, and, besides being six miles
longer is boggy in places.
The Indians, who are the sole packers.
all pack over the Chilkoot Pass from
Dyea. Nearly 500 pack animals are now
en- route, and on their arrival they will
be organized into regular pack trains,
which will remove the chief obstacle,
for the transportation of supplies over
35 miles of land is much more formid-
able than that over the $50 miles of wa
ter on the other side of the pass.
On August 7th miner was drowned
while packing goods over a foot log about
a mile and a half from Staagua. The
teamster charged $40 for bringing the
corpse into town, and this 80 enraged the
people that he was ordered to leave town
at once. He was offered $4,000 for his
wagon and team before he left Juneau.

"DOIIar Wheat" Stroke of Good Luck
for McI<inIey's Administration.

LONDON Aug. 21-The fact that the
price of wheat has reached 81 a bushel in
the United States has produced consdera-
BILE excitement among grain spectators
and others in London. the secretary of
the Baltic said: "Of course we have been
caught largely short. The rise in the price
of wheat, with the uncertainties of the fu-
ture, make a somewhat hysterical market.
The rise of siXpence in the price of barley
for example, to-day was due to no assign
able cause. There is no speculation here
as it is known on Wall street, though there
is some speculation at Liverpool"
The secretary of the Corn Exchange re-
marked: There is no speculation mere as
such transactions are generally known.
There has been disposition on the part
OF the outside public to bear the market,
but the brokers have dissuaded their eli
ents from doing. The rise in prices yes
terday morning and to-day was not due SO
much to dollar wheat as to the buying
by France, where the threShings are prov
4ng disappointing Our millers, too, are
short Our brokers have not made much,
as they held no stocks, but it is needless to
say that the rise of a half crown In the
price of wheat yesterday makes the ltveh-
est times on Mark Lane. The Americans
have apparently got it all their own way"
referring TO the rise in the price of wheat,
says: L" Dollar wheat is an unmerited
stroke of good luck for President McIin-
ley's government, which ought to have
been overtaken by swift calamity for
shamelessly paying election debts to the
trusts by the passage of the Dingley bill.
At the same time the Westminster Gazette
finds comfort in the allegation that the
Bryanites are made to look foolish" and
adds: The Western farmers will see at
once that high prices are compatible with
gold standard, and the destruction of
Bryan and his panacea is bound to follow.
But if President McKinleys supporters are
wise they will not for moment imagine
that when they dispose of the silver craze
they will dispose of the revolt against the
American capitalists, who have never used
their power so ruthlessly as since the last
presidential election" The Westminster
Gazette then proceeds to denounce the 'eX-
tOrtions' of the new United States tariff,
which, it adds, lis one of the worst and
most fruitful sources of the corruption of
public men and public servants" In con-
clusion, the Westminster Gazette says:
THE degree of success which has attended
Bryan shows that Americans are Decom-
ing alive to the rottenness of something.
and next time the campaign will be direct
ed less to the gold standard than TO the
standard of public life"
