Secretary Bliss has taken cognizan,

Secretary Bliss has taken cognizance of the rush to the Klondike's gold fields and Alaska and has issued the following warning to the general public:-
 To whom 1t may concern: :--
 In view of the information received at this department, that 5000 persons with 20O0 tons of baggage and freight are now waiting at the entrance to White pass in Alaska for an opportunity to cross the mountains to the Yukon river, and that many more are preparing to join them, 1 deem 1t proper to call the attention of all who contemplate making that trip to the exposure, privation, suffering and danger incident thereto at this advanced period of the season even If they should succeed in crossing the mountains. To reach Daw- son City, when over the pass, TOO miles of difficult navigation on the Yukon river, without adequate means of transportation, will still be before them, and it is doubt ul If the Journey can be completed before the river is closed by Ice.
 am moved to draw public notice to these conditions by the gravity of the possible consequences to people detained in the mountainous wilderness during five or six months of an Arctic winter where no relief can reach them, however great the need.

Senor CAnovAs del Castillo, the prime minister of Spain, was assassinated by an anarchist Sunday. The murderer, an Italian, fired three shots, all of which struck the premier, and he fingered un- conscious for two hours. The premier was the main prop of the Spanish throne, and 1t Is hard to predict what effect his Assasslnatlon may have on the Cuban war. His death Rt this time Is a most serious blow to the Spanish cause, as he stood for the determination never to with draw the Spanish authority from Cuba. This affalr may cause a complete revOlu- ton throughout the whole of Spain.
