Japan and Hawaii.

1t is, OF course, not strange that the
japanese have become somewhat intoxi-
Gated by the ease with which they de-
teated the Chinese. AS matter of fact,
the United States has always been
Japan's best friend. The people of this
country have had for Japan the most
intense feelings of interest and sympathy.
II any European Machiavelli has been
encouraging Japan to take an attitude
OF aggression in matters concerning the
United States and Hawaii, Japan should
be warned in time against evil advisers.
1t is only an enemy of Japan that could
give such advice. Certain London news
papers have asserted that the Japanese
navy could readily overpower that of
the United States, and lay waste San
Francisco and the whole Pacific slope.
But this merely illustrates once more the
invinc'ble ignorance of London journal
ism. Our vessels already in the Pacific
ana adjacent waters are more than
match for the whole Japanese navy, and
would need no assistance from that
larger halt OF our naval armament that
is stationed in the Atlantic. This same
element of malevolent European Jour.
nalism has limited that it would be an
admirable thing for Japan to attack the
United States, with Hawaii for an
excuse, while Spain should declare war
simultaneously on the score of Cuba 1t
is probably hard tor some Europeans to
believe that no sane person in the United
States would Tor a moment have the
slightest doubt about the outcome under
these circumstances. But the japanese
know something of the resources of
America, and they will not exchange

streams the Yukon opens before them.
They are 2,044 miles from the mouth
of the great stream.
Through n Bleak Region.
They travel down the Yukon ten
miles and cross the Stuart river.
Twenty miles farther, and they are at
Sixty Mile post. For over 60 miles
more they meet nothing that even the
map makers have dignifed with a
name. The stream flows through as
bleak region as the most daring ex-
plorers ever entered. Then Fort Reli-
ance, a small, most insignificant post,
is passed There is nothing to eat there.
The river carries the miners on to
Forty Mile post, 46 miles away. Re-
cent events have made this post small
settlement, hut the most foolhardy pros
pectors will not expect to secure pro-
visions there unless they have more
money than they need, and all need
money in the north. Nearly mile
from Forty Mile post is Fort Cudahy,
but the travellers receive hardly the en-
oouragement of a passing salutation.
For 10 miles more the way is barren,
and then Circle City appears.
A year ago Circle City was the most
important town in the interior. 1t then
had a population of 500 people, but
now, as a matter Of course, it has many
more. 1t is 1893 miles from Juneau
and is the first place where provisions
may be obtained at anything but pro-
hibitory prices. If the travellers need
food, they buy it at Circle City and pay
what the storekeepers choose to ask.
After leaving Circle City 100 miles
more must he travelled before the object
of all the journey, Klondike and it's
river, is reached. At the point where
the Klondike river meets the Yukon q
new city, Dawson, has risen like an
apparition. There the travellers will
meet thousands who, like themselves,
are in search of gold.
But after the long trip has been made
the prospeotOrs must rest in idleness. 1t
has taken them an entire season to reach
the mines. The rivers and the lakes are
locked in ice behind them. The noun
tains are covered with snow, and the
white mantle is over everything around
them. They are on the other side of
terrible barrier that shuts them out
from civilization, and they must wait
for another season, when the snow and
the ice melt and they can look for what
they are seeking.

sake their lives in their hands as they
travel over mountains, into canyons,
across dreary wastes of snow and down
treacherous streams to the mines. As
one travels his perilous way he must
carry his own outfit and provisions. If
fortune does not favor the prospector,
he will find himself in desolate re-
gion, where those who have food to
sell will sell only at fabulous prices for
cash.
The Overland Route to the Klondike.
The route taken by 90 per cent of the
prospectors is by steamer to Juneau and
thence inland. When the miner leaves
Juneau, town of 1900 inhabitants,
he leaves everything but his own re-
sources and self reliance behind. He
may purchase his outfit where he
pleases, but It he buys it at Juneau it
will cost him from $50 to $3.50. The
fare from juneau to Dyea, a distance of
100 miles, is from SO to $40. The dis
lance is made by steamer the traveller
passing Haines Mission, or Chilkat, on
the way.
At Dyea, which is at the head of
Chilkat inlet, the prospector leaves the
last vestige of civilization behind He
shoulders his pack, hires his pack train
and starts for the snow covered noun
tains. Experience has proved that the
best time to start is in the middle of
March. 1t is then easier to move on
sledges or to 60 with the pack train Of
natives
Those who know urge that prospect
ors go in parties of four or five, for in
these numbers they may tighten their
burdens aud economize in materials
that all may use in common. This is Of
the greatest Importance, for it costs IA
cents pound to hire natives to carry
provisions from Dyea to the head of
Lake Lindeman. This short journey is
one of the worst stages of the route.
The way is over desolate, wild, noun
famous country to the summit of Chill
kat pass. Part of the journey may be
made by canoe, but most of it is on foot
or in sleighs. The distance between
the two points is only 23 miles, but
three days must pass before it is trav.
ersed.
Must Build Boat at Lake Lindeman.
AT Lake Lindeman the way becomes
comparatively easier, although at all
stages the strength of the hardest is
taxed to the greatest degree. But first
the journeying prospectors must build
a boat. The craft must be substantial,
for the ice is breaking and death turks
ct every point in the trip through the
lake. 1t Is fer this reason that the min
ers are sure to remind inqulrers that at
least one member Of the prospecting
