Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1897-07-29

One of the most effective strokes Of
William ]. Brysn's speech to $4,000 persons
at Los Angeles, CAL, on Monday, was the
following reference to the Monetary Com
mission now wandering in Europe. He
said.
II hope the Commission will be success
full. l have been called a repudiator so
long that / want our opponents to secure
bimetalism and become regulators with
me. But when 1 think of that Commits
sion which has gone abroad / have some
feeling of sorrow, because remember that
we were destroying confidence in this
country by agitatiug the money question,
and it makes me sick at the heart to think
that just now, when confidence has been
restored and prosperity has fully returned.
we should send a Commission abroad to
agitate the money question and destroy
confidence in Europe"

THRONCS WANT TO GO.
They Besiege the Shipping Offices
Of San Francisco.
SCHEMES FOR GETTING THERE

Story of Great Fatalities In the Re-
gIon Denied-There Was No One at
Forty Mile Post to Die Until About
a Year Ago.
San Francisco, July 2s.-The throngs
about every shipping office that has
even the Temotest Alaskan relations
have by no means diminished. 1t would
seem that the only circumstance which
prevents the wholesale depopulation of
San Francisco is the limit to the trans
portation facilities. Not only strong
men whose broad backs, bronzed faces
and work worn hands tell of previous
experience with the labor that literally
sweats the brow, but clerks and pro-
fessional men and women in hundreds
are seeking for Information or trans
portation to the land where nuggets
are to be had, they think, for the pick
ing up.
Every day sees some new scheme for
overcoming the difficulties in the way
of reaching the Klondike, and the fleet
of steamers and schooners pressed into
the service is growing steadily. The
latest of the Klondike transportation
company schemes is being engineered
by Captain Herman. who has mapped
out plan for reaching the diggings by
the middle of September. He will char
ter a large sailing vessel, and the party
will consist of so men, each of whom
will take one ton of provisions. No one
will be permitted to go unless he takes
this quantity. Each one will be charged
1925 for the trip, and Captain HERMAN
thinks that for this sum he can land
them in Dawson City before Sept. 20.
The ship will carry large lighter, and
a steam launch will be used to tow the
lighter from st. Michaels to the Klon-
dixie. After reaching st. Michaels the
cargo and passengers will be trans
ferred to the lighter and conducted to
their journeys end by a man who is
thoroughly acquainted with the river.
There was motley throng on board
the steamship Mexico for Alaska.
Conspicuous among them was Joaquin
Miller who goes to Klondike as the
representative of a San Francisco jour
nal, and besides him there were five
other correspondents of California
newspapers, including one lady. All
professions and trades were represent
ed among these passengers. There
were miners and prospectors who have
been in every mining stampede from
Pixies Peak to Cassiar and Cariboo,
just as eager in pursuit of the allur-
ing metal as they were in their young
er and more vigorous days. There were
also 80 women, wives of miners, num-
Der of them going to join their hus-
bands, already at the mines.
Returned Yukonites deny the story
told by Frank Moss, of Great Falls,
Mont, to the effect that 1000 graves at
Forty Mile post tell of the terrible suf-
ferings of the gold seekers. F. G. Bow
ker says that so far from being over
1000 deaths on the Yukon during the
past three years, there was nobody
there to die until something less than
year ago, and since then there have
been three deaths in that whole dis
trict SO far as known. In the grave
yard at Forty Mile post, which had
served for all that section for some
years past there are only between 90
and 40 graves.

Less Enoouraglne for Miners

Pittsburg, July 29.-The general strike
situation is less encouraging from the
miners standpoint than 1t was week
ago. Breaks in the ranks of the river
men and a general feeling Of discour-
agement over the West Virginia situa-
ton have combined to quench enthu-
siasm in a remarkable degree. One
prime factor In bringing back this con-
dition Of affairs is thought to be the
inactiop of the Wheeling convention In
devising ways to stop coal shipments
from the disputed territory. Today
will probably witness one of the last
mass meetings of the present strike.
The meeting will be held at McGrea' s
school house, near Plum GREGG. Min
ers will march to the place of assem-
blage from nearly all mines.

In Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and
America, the five great continents, Shaker
medicines are being used by suffering hui
mainly for the cure of sickness and disease.
Never was there such universal demand
never such wonderful results.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a cure for indi-
gestion, is prepared from herbs and roots,
and is natural remedy, which cures by
aiding nature and not by fighting her.
Shaker Digestive Cordial makes those
fat, who have become thin by not digest
ing their food.
1t restores the spirits and the appetite of
those who are detected and tagged ont

and, after using for reasonable time,
finally cures the complaint.

ALI the liberal features of the Tariff bill
were eliminated by the conference com
mittee, and as whole. the perfected meas
ure is more oppressive then either the
House or Senate bill. Among the pro
visions stricken out was that taxing Wall
street operations. which met with the ap-
proval of all except the gamblers in stocks
and bonds affected by it. The proposition
surprised those familiar with the influ'
ences which control the Republican party
and they were not astonished to find that
it was only bit of buncombe, never in
tended to be engrafted on the law.

There is danger of another special session
of the New Jersey legislature because the
date fixed for the special election (Septem-
Der 2S) to pass upon the constitutional
amendments. is also the first day of regis
taration for fall election in cities of over
10000 population. These cities are Newark
Jersey City, Paterson, Camden, Trenton
and Hoboken. The question has been
raised whether the election officers will be
able to perform the double duty and
whether it may not be necessary to call a
special session of Legislature to rectify the
matter in some way.
