Seattle, WASH, July 24.-Fred Price,
q Seattle man who has returned from
the Clondyke with several thousand
dollars In gold dust, says that there 10
great danger of suffering OH the part
Of those who attempt to go into that
country without an abundance of sup
plies. He does not think the trading
cOmpanied can begin to supply the de-
mand which will be made on them. He
thinks the men who take up horses to
cross the pass from Dyea will do we'll.
They can get their provisions In easily
that way and sell the horses for dog
meat aftcrward. He also advises
newcomers to look for claims on other
creeks besides the tributaries Of the
Clondyke, the latter being pretty well
staked out. Stewart river creeks prom
Use as we'll as the Clondyke. He says
further that gambling dens and dance
halls have already opened In Dawson.
games Of every description are rum
ming, and some of the miners play
very heavy. They go into the mining
town in sheer desperation Mt the lone
Illness and gloom Of winter and; gamble
in recklessness to break the mo1lotory.
Price says it Is hard to get along in
Dawson City on less than $50 a day,
and many Of the men spend ten times
that much. He claims that one saloon
cleared up $50, 1000 in three weeks this
sunni er.

The United States consular reports
from Berlin state that Prof. Linde of
Munich has invented method of
liquefying air at cost of 2A cents for
each five cubic meters of air reduced.
In Prof. Linde's method an air pump
of five horse power condenses air to
a pressure Of 200 atmospheres; this ali
passes down a spiral tube and is ex-
panded into chamber, causing great
cold; then it rises and passes on the
outside of the spiral tube, bathing it
and thus cooling the new air that has
been pumped into the tube to take it's
place. This cooled air follows on in
to the chamber, expands and again
lowers its temperature, then passes on
up around the same spiral tube; but az
Its temperature has become much low
er, the new air in the tube is still fur
ther refrigerated. This circulating
process goes on until the new air
pumped into the tube reaches the ex-
pansion chamber at a temperature of
272 degrees below zero, when 1t drops
into the chamber In the form Of liquid.
Thus the air, steadily cooled, is made
to refrigerate the newly-pumped air
more and more. until the necessary
degree Of cold Is attained.

A NEW URUGUAY.

The Rebels Conquer and Dictate
Terms to the Government.
New York, July "a. = Uruguay is
practically in the hands of the rebels,
says the Herald's correspondent at
Montevideo, and the war is at an end.
While the rebels have not upset the
government, they have forced it into
corner from which there seems to be
no mistake, and the final result un-
doubtedly will be q complete over
throw of the existing conditions in
Uruguay. An armistice between the
rebels and the government was signed
few days ago. 1t was to remain in
force until Aug. 5. Peace negotiations
were Immediately set on foot.
These negotiation have led to a pro-
posal from the government to the
rebel chiefs for piece, the rebels to be
given the presidency Of the republic
and the governors of six provinces. In
addition, every rebel who has been
dismissed from the army is to be re-
instated under the new movement, and
all those exiled on account of the rev.
olution, are to be allowed to return.

A commission, Of which ex-senator
Dawes is chairman, has been for sew
eral years engaged, under the authori-
ty OF congress, in endeavoring to secure
the consent Of the Indians of Indian
Territory to the allotment Of their
lands in severalty, or individual hold
ings. So far as two of the five tribes
are concerned. the Choctaws and Chick
asaws, the commission has been sue
cessful. and an agreement has been
concluded and transmitted to congress.
This agreement, which covers more
than II, 000, 900 acres of land, and affects
the interests of $4,000 Indians and 1OO,-
coo whites, is one of the most important
steps taken in making the Indians cit
liens by treating with them as individ-
uals rather than as tribes.

Chicago, July 24.-The John A. To-

was dedicated with much pomp yes
terday afternoon. John A. Logan ILL.,.
the f1ve-year-old grandson of the

which parted the wells concealing the
magnificent likeness of the great COM
n:ander, as he rallied the broken
ranks of the federal troops and led
them on to victory before the City of
Atlanta, July %, 1854.
Crowds began assembling along
Michigan avenue Mt an early hour in
the morning, anticipating the crush
which was to follow. Reviewing
stands lined the broad thoroughfare
facing the monument. At 1 o'clock,
the hour set for the unwilling, the jam
became almost unbearable. But police
precautions were timely, and the
crowds good natured. President Nc
Kinley was unable to leave Washing
ton, but the government was well rep
resented by Secretary Of War Alger.
Shortly before o'clock the review
ing stand Mt the monument began fill
ing with distinguished personages.
Seats were provided for 5000. Gov.
Tanner and suite of Illinois, Gov.
Scof1eld and suite of Wisconsin, Gov.
Mount and suite of Indiana, Gov. Hol-
comb and staff of Nebraska, Gov. At

mittee. Secretary, Alger and judges of
the supreme and circuit courts came
next, escorted by Chairman w. H.
Harper, Of the executive committee,
and George r. Peck, the orator of the
day. Sculptor st. Gaudens followed.
The Logan family-Mrs. John A. Lo-
gan, Maj. and Mrs. William r. Tucker,
Capt. and Mrs: J. A. Logan, were al
most the last to enter the stand.
The boom of cannon on board the
revenue cutters Gresham, Fessenden
and Calumet, anchored in the bay, an
nounced the hour of 1. The Rev. DR..
Edwards arose, and, in an eloquent
prayer, opened the ceremonies.
Henry w. Blodgett, chairman of the
presentation, on behalf of the COM
missioners, presented the monument
to the state, and, amidst the rattle of
artillery little Jack Ill" tugged at
the silken cord, the wells fell <'om the
statue, and the thousands applauded.
Again the artillery salute rent the air
as the United States band struck up
the stirring Battle Scenes of the
War;" Gov. Tanner, in short speech,
accepted the monument on behalf of
Illinois, and gave way to the orator of
the day, George r. Peck. Mr.. Peck
paid an eloquent tribute to the soldier
statesman, with whom he served as q
comrade-in-arms. h..
The programme was completed
shortly after 3 o'clock. The parade
and review followed. The parade was
over two hours in passing the review
ing stand. The pageant on land was
supplemented by the finestmarine dis
play ever seen on Lake Michigan.

There has been lot of fun poked at
the new dog-muzzling law in Eng
land, and a lot of denunciation of it,
says the New York Tribune. But here
are some figures: In 1889 the muzzling
order was made and kept in force un-
til 1893. In 1889 there were 312 cases
of rabies, in 1890 there were 1923 and in
1892 only 80. The order was then re-
voked and in 1893 there were SO cases,
in 1894 there were 248 and in 1895there
were 672. It seems difficult to escape
the significance of such facts.
