it is one of the foremost nations of the
earth in wealth, population and resources.
The thirteen colonies with less than their
four millions of souls have been added to
until the country now numbers forty five
States and five territories, and instead of
the mere strip of land along the Atlantic
coast, it embraces several great empires
in its area, and contains II population of
over seventy millions. Few of the found
ers of the republic had any conception of
this future strength and grandeur, but
Washington saw with prophetic eyes the
growth and power of the nation, and in
his official communications called it.
America, seeming to know,.that in time
to come it would dominate two CONT
nents and he able TO dictate terms to IL
world in arms. He knew by intuition
what should be the policy of the govern
ment he had helped so much to create,
and lifted up the veil that hides the flu
ture and discerned the dangers that
threatened the young republic. His fare
we'll address abounds.in good advice to
the American people, whose liberties will
he always safe if they follow the policy
he laid down. Time which levels distinc-
tions and buries in it's relentless march
the crumblng monuments of the past
but adds to his undying fame. TO the
minds of his admiring countrymen his
colossal figure looms up as enduring as
the pyramids of Egypt, and instead of
diminishing with the passing years 1t
grows brighter and greater with the lapse
of time. 1t is meet and proper as long
as this is a nation that the birthday of
Washington should be sacredly observed:
not that his memory needs any such II
stimulus to keep it fresh ana green in the
hearts of his countrymen, but that the
purity OF his life and his patriotism may
serve AS an example 20 urge them to
higher aims and nObler efforts. The
young will learn from his childhood the
value of truth; while those older in years
will gain IL lesson in patience and self
control that will help them greatly in
overcoming the difficulties of life. 1t is
we'll then shat this birthday should be
celebrated by observances in the public
schools, that help to exalt virtue and pro-
mote patriotism, and in carrying out this
noble work the Junior Order of Ameri-
can Mechanics are setting an example
which all could follow with profit to
themsel yes and the advancement of the
greatness and glory of their country.

despite the caution which Senators in
variably display in referring to occur

corridors yesterday echoed the universal
comments.
--Senator Daniel, of Virginia. has ALWAYS
been accounted one of the orators of the
Senate. With musical and sympathetical
voice master of rhetoric and of rhythm,
vocabulary of wide extent at his com
manh, and with easy and appropriate
gestures, he can always secure the utten-
ton of the Senate. On Friday. however.
while discussing the arbitration treaty,
he surpassed himself. Evidently not in.
tending, when he began to make II
lengthy speech, he soon was swept by
the greatness OF the subject he was dis.
cussng into most impassionei and elo.
quent effort. He was in opposition to
the treaty, but his burning word, Of pat
riotism, his tribute to The greatness OF;
the country, and his ardent defiance of
foreign interference seemed Ike the re
vivilied uttennccs OF Washington .Jefrer
son or Madison. During his address the
Senators were clustered around aim. and
general regret was expressed chat no

STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE.
That Is What VIII Occupy the KIondiker's
Time This Winter.

Chicago. Nov. 13.-Eli Gage, Mrs.
Gage and a large package of gold mug
gets, all direct from the Klondike, have
reached Chicago. They came from
Dawson City, and with the exception of
a few days spent at points along the
route were travelling from Aug. % until
they reached the city over the North
western limited from st. Paul.
According to Mr.. Gage the reports or
suffering in the gold region of Alaska
are not necessarily much exaggerated.
There will be much privation among
the people there this winter, when the
mercury goes down to 70 degrees be-
low zero or thereabouts. He does not
believe anyone will starve, but II Will
be ne...s,sary TO go 400 miles down the
river on sledges to obtain supplies. and
this will prevent much taking out of
gold, for the struggle for existence will
keep nearly all the people busy. As
Mr. Gage is a pioneer in the gold region
of the north and is manager of the in
terests of the North American Trading
and Transportation company in Daw-
son, his statements may be considered
the most authentic that have yet
reached Chicago.
In regard to the reports that he was
horsewhipped by enraged miners in
Dawson City because whisky instead OF
food was brought there on his COM
panys river boats, Manager Gage says
they are malicious lies.

NEW JURY FOR THORN.
The Illness of Juror Larsen Makes This
Imperative.

New York. Nov. 13.-When the Queens
county court of oyer and terminer
opened at Long Island City it was rep
resented TO Judge Smith that Mangus
Larsen. one of the jurors sitting in the
case OF Martin Thorn, accused of the
murder Of William Guldensuppe. had
been obliged to submit to a surgical OPP
Grafton for appendicitis and that un-
der the most favorable conditions hs
would not be able to resume his seat
In the Jury box in less than three weeks
1t therefore became a question as to
how the case should proceed.
Mr.. Howe, counsel for Thorn. sug-
gested the retention of the rest of the
Jurors who sat for the trial thus far,
and impanelling a twelfth juror, 10
whom the proceedings be read from the
court reporters notes. District Attor-
ney Youngs asked for time in which to
look up the authorities before deciding
to accept or reject the proposition of
counsel for the defense. Judge Smith
adjourned further consideration of the
case until l o'clock p. IN.
After an Sour's consultation between
the district attorney and Mr.. Howe. the
latter, emerging from an ante room,
said to the waiting reporters:
Gentlemen: 1 can now tell you pos
itively that there will be an entirely
new jury selected. / have just spoken
to Mr.. Youngs and found that he and
his associates are not in favor of adopt
ing the plan which / proposed in court
Mr.. Youngs will have a new panel OF
200 talesmen made up and the sub
poenas will be served Immediately"
District Attorney Youngs few mo-
ments later confirmed the announce
| ment made by Mr.. Howe. MY reasons
for not accepting Mr.. Howe's sugges-
| tions," he said ARE that the interests
of the people will be better served by
! the empaneling of a new jury and be-
] ginning the case anew"
The court agreed to the plan of the
district attorney and the jury was for
maly discharged. Mr.. Youngs asked
| that the new trial be proceeded with
next Monday. but Mr.. Howe asked for
longer adjournment. In Difference to
( Mr.. Howe's request Judge Smith set
the case for trial on Monday, Nov. %.
