land belt running from British Column

Barrow, on the Arctic Ocean.
THE interest at present is in ways OF
reaching the klondike mines, in British
territory. But my opinion is that just as
good mines can be found in our part of
the Yukon region if they are only pros
pected for.

LAS to agricultural possibilities in Alas
ka l quite agree with Professor Jordan.
There are none and never will be any.
There is no soil and there is no climate
and it is not warm enough for crops to
mature. Wheat and oats, If they would
grow, would keep green till Christmas and
would not mature.

her fisheries. The fur business is q pass

the seals in few years, unless the strict

'On the principle that a people gov

the best government in the world, and it
is better so for the territory. There are
no taxes; there is no legislation, and there

when curb advices from Chicago indicated
much stronger tone, which made re-
covery OF cen IS at the close.
Everybody now feels that bottom has
been reached and there is nervous feeling
regarding the opening this morning. East
ern and foreign markets show much more
strength and it is still believed that that
mythical bugaboo known as the CLIQUE
has some ulterior motives regarding this
great bear feeling which has prevailed dur
ing the past three days. Every hint that
comes from Chicago is eagerly looked for
and Notwithstanding the tact that all the
advices have been of a bullish nature on
constantly declining market there is
still an abiding faith in what the wise
ones say.
There was big crowd about the pit and
heavy trading, but with the exception of
the chronic shourers the noise was almost
done away with. Whenever the low
spots were struck there were plenty of
buyers, and when some enthusiastic bull
would advance the price a little there
were many who had wheat to sell. Bar
lev, too, came in for a share OF the trad
ing, and there was quite a business done
IN tins. increasing freight rates still had
their effect on prices, and rumors of 35-
shilling rate acted as 8 dam per on those
who were holding for higher prices.
There was quite an effort at the last ses-
sion to bring a strong bull feeling to bear
on the strength of a telegram from Chi
cago, which told mysteriously of what
Armour. French and the clique had done,
or were going to do, but there was but a
slight recovery, and while the close was
firm and curb-radin ing good, few would
venture to back their belief in Gn advance
by putting out good lines.
Many telegram. were received late from
Chicago and the tenor of all was of the
same character bull market sure to
come. The following to Cutter d Moseley
is fair sample OF the batch:
Things much firmer on the curb. From wha
l have gathered late to-day il looks as though
the clique has purchased literally of Decem-
Der wheat. There has been some talk of
private settlement of q big line of Septem ber
but cannot place it. In conversation with
French mentioned that q certain house had
bought wheat, supposed to be against puts
He smiled and said that he was glad that the
party had bought wheat as he knew who it
was for. am also told that Armour bought
several millions of wheat through brokers.
Those who are looking for little ex-
element may find it this morning if the
predictions of the brokers are of any ac-
count. for all of them agree that the bot
tom has been reached and that now the
clique will begin to push things for
profits. 1t is believed by some of the
wiseacres that this whole bear raid was for
the purpose of allowing the big Chicago
men to get a heavy line out at low prices,
and now they will begin to call for wheat
and there is likely to be a sharp advance
at once in the haste TO cover. Others
shake their heads, however, and say that
it looks very much as If there was to be an
attem pit to unload before the price went
lower. 1t is the old game of paying your
m oney and taking your choice.

DIRECTORY
Sigismund Morris Behind
the Bars for Swindling
Merchants.
Believed to Be the Head of a
Gang Of Clever Confidence
Operators.
The Raised Contract Dodge Worked
in Brooklyn and New York
by the Rogues.

The Federal authorities have made
what they believe TO be q most important
capture of.a man whom they suspect to be
the leader OF a gang of confidence opera
tors.
Sigismund Morris is the name OF the
prisoner. and the charge against him is
illegally using the mails for the pur-
pose of swindling the unwary. He was
arrested last night by Deputy United
States Marshal Gallagher on warrant
from the Federal authorities of Brooklyn,
N. Y, supplemented by warrant issued
in the forenoon by Commissioner Hea-
cock. Morris was taken before the Com
miss ioner and he offered to waive exam
inatlon if the officers would take him At
once to Brooklyn. They wanted him
here, however, for the present, and the
Com missioner fixed his bail at $500.
Morris is said to be the leader of gang
of swindlers who have been operating ex-
tensively in tie Eest. Their scheme is to
represent tn selves to be oanvassing for
subscriptions and advertisements for q
mercantile or trade directory. They in
duce business men to sign contracts and
then alter the contracts so as TO increase
the amounts. In some instances promls-
sorry notes are taken and the amounts
raised, and then the notes are disposed Of.
brother of Morris was recently ar
rested in Los Angeles for similar offense.
Morris was asked by CALL reporter yes
terday whether he wished 10 make any
stateme mt for publication.
He replied tnat he had no statement TO
make other than that the authorities
must have made a mistake in their man.
He added at he had been In this City
continuously since this month year ago,
and it was strange that the authorities
did not arrest him before.
Morris has lived the greater part OF his
life in this City and he is we'll known here.
He gave his occupation as that OF adver-

Succeeded Beyond All
Expectations.

Rogers fantasie, the Battle of Gettys-
burg was great attraction last night at
the Mechanics Pavilion. 1t was produced
with accessories which kept the people
constantly on the lookout for new novel
ties. The morning scenes in the camp
were portrayed in all their variety, and
then came the announcement OF the
battle by the booming of cannon, situated
in an adjoining lot. Other movements of
the army were gradually depicted, and in
one portion the High School Cadets,
headed by the Second Regiment band of
Oakland, marched in on the floor. Cap
tain Charles Bartlett was in command,
assisted by First Lieutenant Deutsch and
Second Lieutenant Buttgenb bach. He had
sixty men in line, all dressed in a natty
uniform, and looking every inch soldiers.
AS the soldiers approached the bandstand
