FROM THE YUKON BY sLsDGE.
PerilOuS Trip Made BY the Son of Lyman
j. Gage Through the WIGs of
AJnSk1

SEATTLE, WASH, Fep. 20.-Eli Gage,
son OF President-elect McKinley's Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, arrived in Seattle
this morning from Alaska after having
made the perilous overland sIedge Jour-
ney from the great Yukon country.
The Secretary's son can now go back to
Chicago and share honors with another
Chicago man, Charles J. Ham ilton, who
made the first overland Journey from
Alaska to the coast four years ago. Gage
occupied sixty days in making the trip,
having left the Yukon on December Is.
lie did not learn of the appoint ment OF
his father as Secretary of the Treasury
until he arrived at Juneau. When Gage
reached this city he received a numbe of
kilograms from Chicago and among them
was one which said:
Come home at once and do not talk"
1t was signed by his father, and what
significance is behind it is question
which probably only the new secretary is
IN position to answer.
Gage is young man not long from his
books, but is married, nevertheless, and
has been seeing something OF life for sew
eral months in the frozen north. He mar
ried Miss Weare of Chicago.
The Weares are behind the North
American Transportation and Trading
Som pany, Wnlcn does business on the
Yukon, having steamers and stations
from st. Michaels on up the river.
Mr.. Gage came out ostensibiy to see the
country and get acquainted with some of
the realities of lie in a commercial way,
but he has been attending to business
more or less for the Weares.
He decided to bring out the company's
mail when it was found difficult to engage
any one who could be trusted with the
important dispatches upon which the
company depends for lis supplies the COM
Ing season and TO lose which would mean
distress and shortage of supplies on the
Yukon next winter.
Gage said his sledge journey from the
Yukon was filled with the exciting ad-
ventures which usually accompany such
journey.
He was glad that he made the trip, and
II another opportunity ever presented
Itself TO repeat his experience he would
take advantage of it. Cages sleds was
drawn by nine dogs. While they were
sturdy animals they gave out several
times, and Gage feared that he was going
to have trouble in reaching civilization.

Form.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 20.-What
Senator Braunhart failed to accom- plish by
direct means. he is now endeavoring to
bring about indirectly. To-day, the last
on which bills can be introduced under
the rules, he submitted the following:
The Board OF Railroad Commissioners are
hereby authorized to require a statement to be
operating in any city, city ana county, or
town in this State; and for the purpose of fix
ing rates OF fare to be charged by such
railway companies, are authorized to re-
qulre such statement 10 be made to
them as 10 the earnings, operating ex-
penses, cost OF construction and other
matters relating to the operation OF street
railroads as they may deem necessary for the
purpose OF fixing such rates OF fare. Such
board is further authorized 10 require the
Issuance OF Communication tickets and 10 fix
the number OF such tickets that snsIl be sold
at one time and the rate to be paid therefor,
aud the hours during which such commute
ton tickets shall be accented by such railway
corporation for transportation thereon; and
when notified so TO do by such Board of Rail-
road commissioners, such street railroad
company or corporation shall issue commuta-
thereof, and shall receive the same in pay
ment for transportation during the hours
specified in such notice.
Each violation of this law is to be pun
ished by forfeiture of $3.50 to the person
who is unlawfully charged more than
the rate fixed by the commission.
The question of the jurisdiction of the
Railroad Commission over street railroads
Is now matter of consideration on the
part of the Attorney General. the matter
having been referred to him by the COM
mission not long ago, owing to the re-
fusal of the secre tary of the MarKet-street
Railway Company to submit the books of
that corporation TO the inspection of the
com mission. 1t is understood that the
powers of the commission in the latter
are TO be tested in the Stale courts as soon
as the pending case in the Federal court
Is disposed OF. Should this bill become a
law it will obviate the necessity of the
contemplated legal proceedings.

NICARAGUA CANAL.

1t is an encouraging sign that Sen
ator Mitchell of Oregon secured
unanimous" consent to address the
upper branch of Congress on the res
olution providing for United States
Government aid to and control of the
proposed Nicaragua canal. He spoke
eloquently in strain at once frank,
open and patriotic. He presented an
array of facts and figures that must
certainly have created and left an inn
preston favorable to the project. The
Oregon senator was honesty itself in
stating that by construction of the
canal the Pacific Coast would be more
Immediately and directly benefited
than any other section. We're Hawaii
already part of the American sister
hood he could not have omitted prom
inent mention of the group and its in
dustries and shipping. The success or
accomplishment of this enterprise will
vastly aid this country, enormously in
creasing its port Importance and ex-
tending, facilitating and building up
its trade and travel Senator Mitchell
said that at present to reach the prin-
cipal market for surplus wheat, sal
mon and hops in European ports the
Pacific Coast producers and shippers
are compelled to proceed by a circuit
Gus route around Cape Horn, the dis
lance from San Francisco of 1850
miles. BY constructing the Nicaragu-
an canal there would be the saving of
nearly 1000 miles. The distance from
Pacific Coast ports to New York would
be reduced by 10000 miles. 1t is esti
canal will result in reducing water
freight rates from Pacific Coast ports
not less than 81 per ton below the
present rates by Cape Horn. Estimat-
ing that the Pacific Coast states have
a surplus of 100000 tons of wheat, n
saving of 50 ton on wheat alone
would be $4.OOO,OOO, more than sufii-
cient to meet any possible annual La
bility of the Government under the
proposed guarantee of the pending
bill.
Senator Mitchell then went on to
show how great an effect the building
of the canal would have in regulating
transcontinental rates and developing
the resources of the Pacific Coast
States and Alaska, and how one-fourth
the revenues of the Suez Canal Com
pany could meet the liabilities and
leave a surplus of 100000 or So, 00O,-
600 annually.

PROHIBITION.

The total Prohibition presidential
vote in the United States, including
both wings, was only $4,000, while in
1892 it was 279,OOO. But while there
was large falling off in the north
and east, there was a considerable in
crease in some of the southern states.
which are now going through the pro-
hibition fever as the eastern states did
when there was prohibitory statute
book in Massachusetts. In Georgia the
prohibitory vote in 1892 was 9SS; this
year it was 5,063. In Alabama it was
2,147 against 239 in 1892; in Louisiana
it was 1874 against none in 1892. In
Virginia it was larger than the vote
for Palmer and Buckner. 1t is graf
flying, says friend of reform, to wit
ness this growing feeling against one
of the worst evils of the southern sec
tons, although it is not to be expect
ed that prohibition will accomplish
the determination of drunkenness
there any more than it did in states
where it had long trial.

quietly and regretfully of the poignant
pain of the terrible period of stress
and doubt. After the political situa-
ton or the. relations between the two
became less strained Mr..
Willis often talked as only broad
minded and liberal man can speak. of
the days when frightful collision
seemed imminent.
Honolulu and Hawaii mourn on ac-
count of the death of this man and the
sorrow is genuine and deep, for the
loss of an honest man of the first
fidelity Condolences sincere go out
to the weeping widow and the be-
reaved son. To those across the sea
is speeded the message that to the last
instant of life he who now sleeps was
the same Albert S. Willis they knew
in life-the man devoted 10 the right
and the just, to ideals of the higher
planes of manhood.

OF course all talk of war between
the United States and Spain on ac-
count of Cuba or for any other reason,
is arrant nonsense. The United States
is not in the war business for one
thing. Again it is obviously not her
task to stir up Europe, and besides.
with all her limitless resources and
aggressive spirit she has at present
about all the debt that conservative
nation wants to carry. Spain is prac-
tically worse than bankrupt. Behind
the scenes she is extremely low-spirit-
ed and much more anxious to capitu-
late than to battle. Then of all kinds
of armored vessels the United States
has seventy-fve and Spain fifty.

MINISTER WILLIS.

In his career here Albert S. Willis
had the confidence and respect of all.
Those with whom he had contact Of
ticially and socially came to esteem
him highly. He was gentleman Of
true character and noble instincts. As
a diplomat he was able, discerning,
conscientious, firm and conservative.
In his entire public service he has
been marked as distinctive and clear
individuality. Standing in his native
land among those who lead he was at
once received here as a worthy and
capable representative of a great and
friendly nation. He more than filled
expectations. He was, privately and
publicly, sturdy, sterling man, actu-
ated in all his doings by the highest
principles of honor itself. He was
born to that and lived to that and
would unhesitatingly have walked to
the lannon's mouth for the courage
of conviction. Men cannot but say
that he was a strong, staunch man.
He was Christian in the heart and
soul as well as by the lip and as fear
lessly stood for the religious faith
that was in him as he did for his po-
litical and diplomatic beliefs. His life
was without blemish and his home
relations beautiful with the love of a
noble soul. If men have lost friend,
a priced acquaintance, Il family circle
has been broken beyond repair.
AS publicist Mr.. Willis was quite
out of the ordinary. He nau the rare
tribute of being elevated to the class
of picked men," There was desired
for the delicate and trying mission to
Hawaii one who by general attain
ments and special qualifications stood
above his fellow men. There were
scores to select from, but the choice
was the astute, almost silent, thor
oughly even and reliable Albert ).
Willis. When he reached this capital
it quickly became evident that the new
minister plenipotentiary and en"o7
extraordinary of the United States
was a piece of steel of quality. In the
earlier months of his duty here there
were critical and crucial situations,
with Mr.. Willis upon one side and
either President Dole or Minister
Hatch upon the other. The issues Were
of tremendous and stirring import
and the clashing mentalities were
alert, powerful and awake. But their
was no friction beyond the realm Of
the requirements of questions at hand.
1t was on these occasions that Mr.. Will
lis was in the full light the man as
well as the diplomat. His was a
troublous task indeed. 1t was difficult
to the extreme for him to subdue, hold
in check and cast aside personal incli-
nations and adhere strictly and faith
fully to duty. After the clouds of the
dark days of '03 had passed away, Mr..
Willis, cordial and earnest, often spoke

customers may select either one
piece, or ten dozen. In this
way customers may replace any
breakage at the lowest possible

In this same invoice we have
some of the most beautifully

A fad among Honolulu peo-
pie is decorating china. At

Miss French at Oahu College,

full specimens, the work Of her
pupils, were shown and will

Of pieces and in many sizes.
They are made especially for
