MORE GOLD COMING.
$6 900, 900 Now on the Way From
 European Ports.

i New York, Oct. 14.-A new s6,OJO,- i 900 god tide has left European ports for the United States. The fist inn ports made by the National City Bank and the Hanover National bank are believed to have been made at a loss, or in payment of trade balances Now, however, although the exchange market is not low enough to make imports very profitable, the flow is natural because the money is needed here by the syndicate which has been formed to buy the Union Pacific rail- road at foreclosure and pay the claim cf the United States government against the property in cash.
 The engagements announced today were s5OO,OOO by Madenburg, Thal- mann & Co.,; sS00o0O additional for Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, to arrive on the steamship Paris, $1,75O,000 on La Gas esigre. and $5O0,000 on the Par for Lazard Freres. and $5GO.OoO additional on another steamship for 1 a lenbu g Thalman & Co.
 Sums of gold to arrive in addition to these amounts are $500,OO0 for the Bank of British North America; $500,G00 for Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,; $500, ,0O0 for Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co.,. and S20O.OC0 balance for the National City bank. In addition, S2,500,000 has aready been brought over, making a grand total of $S300,O ,O0O in the pres ent import movement
 The heavy exports of grain which have been made from this country to Europe and other cCuctrlss, which have to be paid through European bankers, has provided a fairly good supply of bills. Exports, however, have been offset in a large measure by the heavy imports of g2ods prior to the adoption of the Dingley tariff bill, all of which have not yet ben paid for. The cotton crop is much delayed, but when this staple begins to go abroad, there will be a still larger supply of bills with which to pay for gold imports. There is, therefore, a firm belief that the yellow metal has on y arted to flow this way. There is little or no profit in it now, but gold will continue 10 come, nsverthe- less, for some time.

THE CAPITAL OF LINCOLN.
A Corroboratfon Of the Story Of 6
 New Alaskan Territory.

Washington, Oct 14-In view of re- ports of the expected founding of a new city in Alaska, to be known as Weare, on the Yukon river, between the boundary line of British Columbia and Sit. MichaeTs, with the design O. making it the capital of the proposed new territory, 1t may be poss-b that the interior department may find it necessary to locate a new land office there, instead of at Circle City.
 Official reports have reached here that Circle City, until recently prac- tically the only settlement on the Yu- kon river, has been practically aban- doned. W. L. Dixon of Illinois, re cent1y appointed surveyor-ganeral of Alaska, is en route to Sitka, where all surveys of mineral lands in Alaska including the Yukon and all other parts of the territory. must be re- ported.

uOCulA, A. OCl. (.
 ''The Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, United States Senate. Washington, D. o.: Dear Sir-The pi iess dispatches of October 5 report an interview with you on Hawaii, published in the New York Herald of that date, in which you are quoted as saying: T am inclined to think we should give Hawaii a form of government rather broader than the ordinary territorial govern ment. For example, I should give the islanders power to continue their legislative body in two branches. whereas, I believe a territory has merely a single house.
 aFOr senator of the United s ates to show such ignorance of his own country is amazing, and espec. ally so when shown by a man of the char acter and standing of Henry Cabot Lodge. Here in this benighted sec tion of the United States we have learned to look upon Senator Hen y Cabot Lodge of Massachuse;t ts es the acme of eloquence and learning in the greatest legislative body on earth In all your reading of the law-and I believe ycu rank high as a lawyer, holding the degree of L. L. B. from that famous institution of learning, Harvard college-is it possible that you have never read anything in the revised statutes Of the United States concerning the government of the territories?
 "Section 1S46, R. s. U. S., says: The legislative assembly shall consist of council and house of represent atives. The members Of both branch es of the legislative assembly shall have the qualifications of voters as herein prescribed
 Section 1853, as amended July 19, 1878, reads: That from and after the adjournment of the next session of the several territorial legislatures the council of each of the territories of the United States shall not exceed twelve members, and the house of rep resentatives of each shall not exceed twenty-four members, etc. This sec tion was amended in 1885, as applied to Dakota, giving that territory twenty four members of the council and forty-eight members of the as sembly.
 "The Fiftieth congress, of which you were member, admitted the Da- kotas, Washington and Montana as states. Is it possible that in all the discussion over the admission of theze new states you failed to inform your self of their territorial form of gov ernment? You were also a member of the Fifty-first congress, which ad- mitted the states of Wyoming and Idaho, and you Were a member of the senate when Utah was admit ted three years ago, and in all that time were you unable to pick up even little knowledge of those giant young states of the great west?

There was one office filled Thursday
which. while it may not pay as much as
thousands Of others, is regarded at the

1t is the position of commissioner 'in and

Baltimore man. minor position in the

1t is strange thing how circumstances
may alter the ost objective cases. Only
few weeks ago If any one had been or
dered to go to Alaska 1t would have been
deemed a dire punishment. Now the name
Is synonymous with Ell Dorado and people
from all over the country are breaking

silver. 1t is said that the stores not only
at Sltka, Alaska, but in San Francisco and
other California towns, are being carried
on without the assistance of clerks, who
have ventured to the gold fields. 1t seems
no wonder that the craze to go to Alaska
is so great, when the marvellous stories that
are told Of the klondyke gold fields, and
the fact that they are corroborated to
certain extent by men of science and known
truthfulness who have been there, are
taken into consideration.
The Forty-niners hardly had such in
ducements offered them to cross the unex-
plored desert and dig for the yellow metal
IN the mysterious country of the Golden
Gate. There is enough now learned about
Alaska and the British territory where the
gold fields are located, to let the people

munity. Whether beer or bread costs more
In year is question on which the sta
tlsucians do rot agree, but. they are pretty
generally OF the opinion that more money
Is spent for drink-including spirits ana
wine with beer-than for bread and an
other articles of nutriment made from
grain. In the United Kingdom for in
stance, 1t Is computed that the expendi-
ture LOT llquor In year is fSD,HN,Un
against f1,cW,o0o for grain. In France the
proportion was - to ~. In Germany,
where there Is relatively less bread eaten
imam In France, the figures are as ~ to az;
IN Italy they are as ~ to A. in Spain as
30 to ~, and in the United States as as TO
w. In all of these countries therefore IL
may be said that the consumption of liquors
exceeds In value the consumption of grain.
The United States have long been able 10
meet considerable portion of their current
expenses from the liquor internal reve-
rue taxes. Since 1854 there has been a
uniform tax Of 81 barrel on beer the
government measure of a barrel being
thirty-one gallons. This tax now Yields the
government about Sl0en,na n year, and IL
has been rising steadily. When first i'm
posed S2.ooooo was the sum obtained from
It, BY 1870 the amount had risen to SG,,po,-
600. In 1850 1t had doubled to sl2ooUpsi
In 1870 II had more than doubled again,
reaching S25.ooo0oo. The tax on spirits is
w cents a gallon on the average, and this
item of revenue yields the government
about sS,Su,o0 a year, having more than
doubled since 1879. Whatever the Indirect
eiiect" Oh the sale OF liquor may be on the
inhabitants of country, the fact is unde-
niable that all civilized governments with
scarcely any exception get large share
OF their revenues from beer and whisky
taxes. A computation was recently made
to the effect that during the five years of
the civil war s6Go,0o0.oo0 was raised by in
ternal taxation and S525 600, 900 from tariff
duties. The people OF every American COM
munity spend more In year for bread than
they do for beer. but II whisky. wine, cor

Biggest Farm on Earth,
From the Knoxville Tribune.


The largest farm in this country and
probably in the world is situated in the
southwestern part of Louisiana. 1t ex-
tends 100 miles east and west. IL was
purchased in 1883 by a syndicate of north
ern capitalists. by whom il is still oper-
ated. AT the time of its purchase its $780,
600 acres was vast pasture for cattle
belonging to a few dealers in that coun-
try. Now Ii is divided into pasture stations
ranches, existing every six miles. The
fencing is said to have cost about SDu0.
The land is pest adapted for rice. sugar.
corn and cotton. A tract, say half a mile
wide. is taken, and an engine is placed on
each side. The engines are portable ana
operate a cable attached to four plows.
By this arrangement thirty acres are gone
over in a day with the labor of only three
men. There is not a single draft horse on
the entire place. if we except those used
by the herders of cattle. of which there are
1900 head on tie place. The Southern
Pacific railway runs for thirty-six miles
through the farm. The company has three
steamboats, operating on the waters of the
estate, of which 300 miles are Eavigable.
1t has also ice house. bank, ship yard
and rice mills.
