KLONDIKE GOLD FIELDS.
Believed That Canada Will Impose
No Hardships on Prospectors.

WASHINGTON, Aug. lit is not
believed by officials of the Government
that any serious hardships will be inn
posed by Canada upon miners in the
Klondike gold regions. 1t is pointed
out that it would be difficult to en-
force any serious impositions upon the
miners. Such a course might result
in retaliation enforced by the United
States so as to make it almost impossi-
BILE for the Canadian to go in or from
the Klondike country. If this country
should prevent Canadian officials from
entering the Klondike through Ameri-
can territory they would be obliged
to reach the gold country over thou
sands of miles of unexplored country.
While it IS said that there has been
no correspondence Tearing directly on
the point of impositions upon the
American miners, there IS an intima-
ton that Canada desires to be friendly
as to the northwestern conditions. and
that there is a disposition to cooperate
so as to further tie best interests of
all concerned. It is stated that in i'm
posing the ren per cent royalty on
thu gold output equally on Canadians
and Americans, the United States can
Ls,ve no cause Of complaint.

WHEAT MARKET.
A Decline of the Cereal Noted at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA decline of 1
cent per bushel inaugurated the days
business in wheat September, which
closed yesterday worth S512, started ct
from SIPS to S412. 1t gradually i'm
proved to S5, and fell off again to S412
and for over an hour kept fluctuating
between those figures. December was
somewhat steadier after the confusion
of opening, and narrowed it's discount
from September for a time.
The Liverpool market at the opening
was only 12@3sd higher than it closed
yesterday, which in comparison with
yesterdays 212 cent advance here was
great disappointment and its effect on
the market was very apparent.
In addition to the unsatisfactory adj
vance at Liverpool, the receipts at Chi
cago substantially confirmed the in
creased movement that yesterdays es
innate foreshadowed. The number Of
cars inspected into store was 432, COM
pared With 240 a year ago. OF this
number 39S were new wheat. The out
inspection was 172, 900 bushels. Brad
streets reported an increase of $50, 900
bushels in the worlds visible, compared
with a decrease of $4,000 bushels the
year before. The market had been
holding very steady between S4A and
S5 for September, until the receipt of
the report, but became weak immedi
ately after, and declined to 81. New
business from the outside was small,
and what there was of it was chiefly
for December delivery.
Trading in September was generally
in the way of settling up outstanding
contracts. Cudahys buying of De-
cember was quite conspicuous. That
operator was said to have received
very discouraging news regarding the
prospects for spring wheat. Seaboard
advices were in continuance of what
had been their regular drift for some
time concerning the excellent demand
from exporters. Long wheat began to
come out in the last hour of the session,
but it did not look like any of the
larger lines so in fact the market was
too small to have taken any considera-
Bile quantity without quite severe
break. September gradually declined to
S31a but had recovered to S53s@4 at
the close.

| TOPEKA (Kan), Aug lib. T. Lew
| is, Assistant General Manager Of the
Santa Fe, received a report this morn
ing that the train robbers who held up
Santa F'e train No. 405 last night did
not get any money whatever.
! Mr.. Lewis reports state that the
train was boarded at Edmonds, o. T.,
by two or three men who climbed over
the engine tank and covered the engin-
eer with revolvers as soon as the train
left the station, commanding him to
stop at the next road crossing.
| The engineer obeyed, and at the road
| crossing five or six more men We're
found in waiting. Some of the men
commenced firing as soon as the train
stopped for the purpose of keeping the
passengers and train men in the cars,
While others entered the express car.
They commanded the expressman to
open the safe, but as it was a through
safe from Kansas City to Galveston he
was unable to carry out their orders
and convinced them of the fact
They attempted to blow the safetopen
with a stick of dynamite, but failed to
even damage it. They then drew to one
side and held a consultation, the result
of which was an order to the engineer
to 'hit the road.
None of the robbers entered the pas
senger coaches. The train was delayed
thirty minutes
The train was in charge of conductor
Beers, with engineer Raines in the cab
When about three miles out two mask
ed men climbed over the tender and at
the point of revolvers ordered the en-
gineer to stop the train. The command
was speedily obeyed. From out of the
grass at the side of the train innedi-
ately on its stopping sprang five
masked men, and as conductor Beers,
the brakeman and several passengers
started forward to ascertain the cause
| of Etaess stoppage, they were met with
| the order hands up They were lined
up alongside the track with the engin-
eer and fireman. !. Shots from Winches-
| ters terrorized the passengers, and W.
III. May and Route Agent Lytle obeyed
the command to open the express car.
Three of the robbers entered the car.
ordered the express man to line up
with the other trainmen and Immediate
ly commenced work on the safe. Two
dynamite shots were tried on the safe
but neither succeeded in opening it.
They soon left the car empty handed.
Alter consulting together, the robbers
concluded not to modest the passengers
and ordered the trafnmen back to their
places and to pull out.
The robbers coolly watched the train
out of sight. They are described as
understood men, the heaviest weighing
probably $50 pounds. They had rath-
er the appearance of boys than men.
They joshed the trainmen continually,
and evidently considered the whole af-
fair great lark. 1t is believed by
many that the bandits are members of
the tough young element of this town
and that they will certainly be appre-
hended.
A posse of Deputy Marshals and a
Sheriff went on their trail but after
tracking them to within a few miles
of this city the trail was lost They
had horses hitched in the timber near
by the hold-up, by which they escaped.

Danger of a Car Famine.

ST. JOSEPH (Mo), Aug. 17.-Rail-
road officials in St. Joseph report that
there is a danger of a car famine on
Western roads caused by the Immense
grain crops. All roads entering this
city are taxed to their fullest capacity
now, and the switching force has been
increased twenty-five per cent. The
Burlington company has issud orders
for no more coal to be loaded in tight
box cars, stock cars being used instead
All tight cars are needed for moving
grain. Farmers are disposed to hold
their wheat for a dollar a bushel, but
railroad men say the upward tendency
of the market will start to moving.

IhE New SUGAR scANpAL
Editorial Opinion OF Legisiation 20,
Trusta.


Is the country 10 be afflicted with a
second sugar scandal? Are the "sen-
nt6rs from Hayeneyer" ex-officio men,
bers OF the finance committee. and are
they to be permitted TO dictate the JIM
portant sugar schedule? : Chicago
Evening Post lind. Rep,l.
The senate committees bill, wheth-
er designed to do so or not. will give
the trust a great advantage should il
become law. For that reason the
country is bitterly opposed to the SEN
ate sugar ..hedule. ard If the senate
will heed the voice of the people that
schedule will not be embraced in the
Ipew tariff. = Indianapolis Journal
Rep.).
The storm over the sugar schedule is
steadily increasing. All the examiDa-
tious which have been made since its
report. instead of clearing it up. only
make it look the blacker. 1t has appar-
emily been made of q very complicated
character to battle analysis and to dis
| guise job, but, intricate as it is, il
does not conceal the fact that it en-
braces q very large differential for the
benefit of the trust This conviction is
universal, and it is aggravated by the
stories of personal profit in connection
with it.-Philadelphia Press (Rep.).
The specific charge by responsible
newspaper in Chicago that three men,
bers of the senate speculated in the Sc
crets of the committee room after the
sugar schedule on the senate tariff bill
had been framed. and profted $4,000
by the transaction. is altogether too
serious to be treated by the senate
with contempt or indifference.
The peculiar influence which the
magnates of the sugar trust have ex-
erted in the framing of the new sugar
schedule has already created suspicious
rs to the integrity of the trainers of the
bill. If the charge against the alleged
spectators shall not be investigated,
it will serve to strengthen, if not con-
firm, this Observation-Disclosures Bull

Omaha. April 1O.--The Albion Milling
Company, Neb. - Gentlemen: Answering
your inquiry of the 7th inst. The explana-
tion of the recent marked advance in the
price or burlap bags is in the prospective
changes in the tariff. Under the Wilson bill
they are on the free list, but the Dingley
bill provides for a duty which would
amount to something over one cent per bag
on the 66-inch eight-ounce burlap The
price made you on your recent invoice is
the lowest which we can offer on the pres
ent market. Yours truly,
