KNEW WHAT HE WANTED.

l don't think our public schools iced
advertising. but If they do there's a
little boy out on Fifteenth street who
should be interviewed, says the Wash
ington Post. His name is Wallace
Dunn. and he is somewhere near 6 or 7
years old. 1t was decided to send him
to school Il few months ago. and ac-
c~ordingly he marticulated at one of the
exclusive kindergartens. He stayed
half a day, and then quietly refused to
return. Another kinder farten, and
still another. his parents tried. The
boy was not pleased.
NO" said he. Il don't want to go TO
a baby school. | don't want to learn to
play. | want to go to real, ~sure-enough
school,
So he was entred at the nearest pub
lie school, and the amazing progress
he has made gratifies nobody SO much
as him self.

TREATY RATIFIED.

Washinton. D. c., Dec. 2S.-The
Orange Free State has ratified the ex-
tradition treaty between that country
and the United States, recently g
tiated, and returned the document to
Washington, where it awaits the ac-
ton of the IniteN States senate. It
was this convention together with a
similar treaty negotiated with the Ar
g%entine republic that made up the is
sue between President Cleveland and
the senate. resulting in the shelving
Of both treaties.
As submitted to the senate by Presi-
dent Cleveland, the treaties contained
clauses permitting an American citizen
to surrender under eXtradition to the
political authorities of the Argentine
republic or of the Orange Free states
or vice versa. The United States might
take from these countries a native who
has escaped from the United States af-
ter the commission of crime. The sen
ate promptly rejected this radical de-
parture on theory of our eXtradition
proceedings. This resulted in lending
the documents back to the state de-
partment for transmission to the other
parties to the treaty that they might
have an opportunity to press upon
them. But the president positively re-
fused to go ahead with the treaties I'M
less congress accepted his ideas on the
point at issue and the documents have
lain on the shelf until the present adj
ministration took them up soon after
1t assumed the Office and resumed the
negotiation, looking to their final COM
pletion OF the lines indicated by the
senate.

by the assertion that the present sup,
ply of provisions would be exhausted
by spring.
E. harrington said: There is no
need of anyone worrying over their
friends starving. OF course provisions
are not plentiful and supplies should be
taken in the spring, after which time
all the provisions in the country will
be exhausted"
Speaking of the rush to file claims,
Mr.. harrington said: For sometime
was unable to accommodate the miners.
The men stood in a line for days with
the mercury 40 below zero in order 20
file claims.
THE biggest sensation in the way Of
a strike was No. 43 on bunker. 1t
paid $45 to the pan. If it had not been
for the exodus to Fort Yukon 100
claims would have been worked on the
Bonanza, ElDorado and Hunker creeks
this winter"
S. W. Foote said a great many people
went past Dawson in boats with the
floating ice unable to make a landing.
Many people are living in tents at
Dawson, though the temperature is
away below zero.
Good strikes have beer made on
Lucky creek, a tributary Of All Gold.
Sulphur creek is also turning out fine.
ION the way out we encountered
good weather nearly all the time. We
left Dawson Nov. 81. Part Of the way
We threw OF our coats and wen in
shirt sleeves and bare hands. 1t was
only Is below zero then.
"At the Chilkoot summit we en-
countered a fearful snow storm and we
were lost for a time. 1t lasted all the
way from the head of Lindermann to
the summit. One man went ahead with
a stick poking it into the snow to find
the hard path to walk on.
Beef and mutton at Dawson is be-
ing sold at 81 to $3.50 per pound. Moth
ing in the food line can be obtained
from the companies without an order.
Flour was selling from outfits at 500
per sack. while bacon and beans
brought 81 to SLIPS per pound. There
was plenty Of sugar at 80 cents per
pound.
THE claims are al taken to within
a radius Of As to so miles of Dawson"
j. d. Barnes states that the Alaska
Commercial company and the North
American Transportation and Trading
company have declined to receive any
more gold for safe keeping for the min
ers, as their safes are full.
T. H.. Mallory believes the output
next season will be between Is and 20
millions. j. J.. Mckay estimates it at
eight millions.
On Nov. 20 the English church known
as THE klondike," was destroyed by
fire. Two or three adjoining cabins
were also burned.
AL 1.-The creeks in the Klondike dis
trict are reported as turning out well.
About 300 men are camped at the
mouth of Stewart river, which stream
they will prospect this winter. No new
gold discoveries are reported.
The mount Of gold brought out from
Dawson by those who arrived this
morning is estimated all the way from
$1,000 to $3.50, 900. Nearly all of to-
days arrivals will return in the spring
after purchasing a new lot of supplies.

AN INTELLIGENT HORSE.

passed through this city, going west.
He had Il small drove of mules and sew
eral horses. all loose, following the
wagon, and among them was a beauti-
full sorrel horse, with bride and sad
die on, but no rider. People on the
streets noticed that the sorrel seemed
to be overseeing the herd and would
round them up occasionally. AS the
caravan reached Central venue the
sorrcl ran ahead and stood in the mid
die of the street, looking up and down,
as if watching for danger. After salts

EN- SENATOR REAGAN.

Ex-U. S. Senator Reagan, who served
in the Confederate Cabinet as Postu as
ter General, addressed the Texas Con-
federate veterans a5 the State reunion
at San Antonio on Thursday last. He
said that it was understood generally
that slavery was the main cause
OF the war, but such was not the case.
He said that the trouble dated far back.
1t was case of jealousy on the part of
the manufacturing States. He said
that when Jefferson purchased Louisi.
ana the New England States objected
strenuousIy, saying that it was giving
the agricultural States an unfair ad-
vantage over the manufacturing States
The New England States then threat
ened to secede. The same thing took
place when the States of Missouri ard
Texas were admitted to the Union He
said that prior to the breaking out of
the war the Administrations had been
severely criticised and condemned
when the various STATES did not think
the policy pursued by the government
was right, but DO State bad threatened
To seceds except the New England
States.
Unlil the Soulh had decided to With
draw from the Union there was never
any question raised a. to the right of
one State TO withdraw from the Union
he ssid that when the great ntrk-
western country vas settling up the
people of Indiana ard Illinois asked
Congress to rel eal the law prohibiting
-lavery in these States, and thst Gen
eral Harrison, the foremost man of that
region, and afserward President OF the
United States, wrote very able letter
to the President advocating the repeal
of that law.
81 do not think" continued the
speaker, "that his grandson ever refers
to hat letter"
In speaking of slavery, Judge Raa-
gan said that the southern States We're
not responsible for slavery. The slaves
were brought here by the Dutch traders
and sold to the people of The North.
There they remained until they were
no longer useful, that part Of the ccun-
try engaging very largely in manufac-
turing. Then the slaves were sold to
the people of the South TO work in
sher fields. and the money thus real
lied was spent in building up new ma
chinery and manufactures.
The northern people then suddenly
became very virtuous aud cried on
about the sin of SLAYER. They did no
offer to pay for or help bear the burdeu
of releasing them. He then referred TO
the war and said be hoped God would
forbid any southern soldier to say that
the war was caused by the leaders.
"The South was drive to the w.r ia
holding up for right and liberty" lie
said. The southern soldiers were 10
more rebels than are the soldiers who
fought for the independence of tie
United States" Seuator Reagan in
closing said:

broke out and knew what we hal TO

no attempt had ever been made to force
these securities upon the market. The at

the creation of fund from some
source that could be used to pay the re-
