GOLD CRAZE
Taking Away Many Employees in the
Navy Department.
The Discount of Seven and Half per
Cent. Allowed on Beer Stamps Deliv-
cred On or Before July Gath to Be
Collected From the Brewers.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The navy de-
partment has felt the evil effects of the
gold craze. The firm OF Moran Bros,
located in Seattle, is building the tor
pedo boat Rowan and had made good
progress until the Alaskan exodus set
in. Now they have informed the navy
department that so many of their
workmen have dropped their work to
go to Alaska that they are obliged to
appeal to the navy department for an
extension of time in which to complete
the boat.
The land Office is receiving many ap-
plications for copies of the public land
laws by persons who profess their in
tention of going to Alaska. The Office
has been obliged to notify the appli-
cants that the land laws have not yet
been extended to Alaska, though the
mineral laws apply.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-Commissioner
Forman Thursday issued the follow
ing circular letter to collectors of in
ternal revenue:
"You are hereby instructed to col
lect from all brewers in your district
the discount of seven and a half per
cent, which was allowed on beer
stamps delivered by you on or before
the gath inst, without regard to the
date of the order for stamps.
''In case of neglect or refusal of
brewers to pay the same after demand,
you will report them for assessment
on your July list. You are informed,
and will so advise all brewers in your
district, that stamps purchased and
delivered before the oath inst, and
upon which the discount of seven
and half per cent. has been allowed
may be used for their full face value"
The secretary of war has appointed
the special board provided for in the
sundry civil appropriation bill to make
a survey and examination INCLUDING
estimates of cost of deep waterways
between the great lakes and the At
lantic waterways. The personnel of
the board is as follows: Maj Charles
w. Raymond, corps of engineers; AL
fred Noble, of Chicago, and George Y.
Wisner, of Detroit.
The commissioner of internal rev.
enue has amended the regulations

spirits in bond so as to require the
data prescribed by law to appear on
bottle strip stamps, to be printed or
engraved thereon before they leave
the internal revenue Office. Hither-
to this data has been permitted
to be written on the stamp by the dis
tiller.
A statement prepared at the treas
ury department shows that the recent
civil service order of the president in
creases the exemptions from the civil
service competitive examination from
60 to 219 in the internal revenue serv-
ice, and in the customs department 34S
positions are added to the exempt
class and $50 places hitherto outside
the rules have been brought within
them. All of the exempt places, how
ever, are subject to rigid, non-com-
petitive examination conducted by the
civil service commission.

government of the new republic. The

their alphabetical order and shall hold
Office for one year. A council, COM
posed of two representatives from
each state, with the chief of states,

BIG MINERS MEETING
The Strikers at Camp Determination
Make Midnight March
To Sandy Creek-President P4trick Do.
Ian, Their Leader, Arrested at the In
stance of ThOs. p. Dearmitt-The
Incident Causes an Ugly Feeling.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. ALL roads
led to Turtle Creek Sunday. March
ing miners from all over the district
were converging toward Camp Deter
mination, and if all those reported as
being on the march reach the scene
before morning there will be at least
5000 diggers present at the big meet
ing which IS scheduled for IL o'clock at
McCrea's schoolhouse. The miners ex-
pect 5000 to be present.
The burough of Turtle Creek ex-
perinced the liveliest day in its history
with its large transient population of
miners and curious visitors, but the
day passed without trouble of any
kind. Burgess Teats, of the borough,
visited the miners camp Sunday and
stated he had no reason to order the
crowd to disband, and as long as peace
prevails he will not disturb them.
There was complete shift in the
makeup of the campers Sunday. The
men from the Wheeling division of the
j. & o., who have been on guard
ever since the big movement against
the Dearmitt men was inaugurated,
left during Sunday night for their
homes at Finleyville.
At lis Monday morning the strikers
at Camp Determination were aroused
and 500 men ordered to march to San
dy Creek and 500 to Plum Creek. The
marchers began with President Patrick
Dolan heading the force, going to San
dy Creek. After proceeding a short
distance, Dolan was served with a
writ charging him with riot and
unlawful assembly at the instance of
Thomas p. Dearmitt. For time great
excitement prevailed among the march
ers, but Dolan quoted them by saying
that he would be all right and soon
join them. He was then taken back
to the justices offices and the march
ers proceeded. Secretary Warner, Or
ganizer Cameron Miller and other
leaders are included in the writ.
A citizen of Turtle Creek stands
ready to furnish bail for Dolan. and
it is presumed he will be released.
The incident has caused a very
ugly feeling among the strikers, and
if the other leaders included in the
order of arrest should be stopped in
their work, decidedly vigorous action
will likely be taken at the big meet
ing Monday morning.

Must Pay Duty on Goods.

VICTORIA, B. c., July 3O.-There is a
crowd of indignant gold seekers in
town. Two hundred of them came
from Seattle with their outfits to take
the steamer Islander for Dyea. Arriv-
ing here they found that not a pound
of goods would be allowed to enter
the Klondyke district without paying
the regular Canadian duty. Some of
them decided upon payment of the
duty here, but others are going with
the expectation of evading the Gus
toms officers. This is hardly possible
and the customs officers are going up
on the Islander, accompanied by a
force of constables, who will assist
the mounted police now there to en-
force the law.
