eight months are unsatisfactory in several

The excessively high tax on playing cards

One OF the embarrassments likely to fol-
low an expedition OF troops to Alaska
would be the desertion Of those who have
the gold fever. Il is feared that there
would be many assertions of the soidier RS
who would rush to the gold fields after
the Government had paid for their trans.
portation to Circle City. Besides this,
many of the enlisted mems terms expire
soon, and they would be free to join the
miners. For these reasons it is deemed
wise to make a careful selection OF the
troops.
All of these questions were discussed at
the CABINET meeting again tonight, but
the principal tonic of discussion was that
of cost. 1t is understood that the North
American TRANSPORTATION and Trading
Company has offered to transport the
troops for $3.50 per head from Seattle to
their destination and will charge $50 per
ton for provisions.

CIRCLE CITY IS TO BE THE SITE
FOR THE POST.
Captain Ray, Selected to Command, Says 1t
Would Be Humane to Turn People
Back Who Are Rushing Over
Chflcoot Pass.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 27-The
President and his Cabinet had under con-
siderato on at this mornings session and
again tonight the proposition to send
troops to the Klordyke region and estab-
lish a military post near Circle City. The
matter has been under advisement for
several days and was virtually settled yes
terday, for Secretary Alger has been max
ing preparations.
It was deemed advisa bic by the Presi-
dent and Secretary Alger to station troops
in Alaska to preserve order and protect
American interests, but question arose
as to the right of the Executive to send
troops there for such purpose in the ab-
sence OF the authority of Congress.
The same question was raised during
the Debs riot in Chicago, and President
Cleveland was censured by a good many
critics and a portion of the newspaper
press for ordering soldiers there without

The steamer sails from Seattle on August
for st. Michaels, where the expedition
will take river steamer. The Cabinet was
in session three-quarters OF an hour to-
night. A: its close a member said to The
CALL correspondents:
THE question of cost was the principaI
question discussed tonight. The Presi-
dent will give his decision tomorrow"
From other sources it is learned that
the expedition has already been decided
on and Secretary Alger has teIegraphed
to the quartermaster and commissary
headquarters at San Francisco to make
the ARRANGEMENTS. Orders for spec al
kind of coldweather tents have also been
sent to Philadelphia
The San Francisco call., 1897-07-28

Yeste rday saw the departure of q hun
dred more Yukon bound adventures on
the State of California. Several times that
number would have gone on the steamer
if passage had been available, but the
miners who went and the larger nun Der
of excursionists pre-emp pied every bunk
three or four days ago.
I is afternoon the Alaske Comm ercial
Company's steamer Excelsior will leave
with a bout hundred passengers and all
the freight that can be carried. The Ex-
celsior goes to St. Michaes, passing Ju-
neau far to oceanward and making but
one brief stop at Unalaska before reaching
St. Michaels at the mouth OF the Yukon,
1850 miles from San Francisco. The inter
esting river route has perils and character
istics of It's own.
Among the passengers on the Excelsior
will be the leader of THE CALLS special
correspondents, S. w. Wall, who will meet
at st MichaeIs large party of outcom-
ing miners who will come to San Fran
CISCO on the return trip OF the Excelsior.
The steamer will get back 20 San Francisco
with another lot of lucky ores and an
other great pile OF gold dust and nuggets

Some hundreds more Will leave San
Francisco for the Yukon within the next
ten days, the largest party going on the
special trip of the collier Willamette,
which the Pacific Coast Steamship Com.
pany VIII start north as quickly as posslb BILE.
About four hundred will go on this
steamer, and many more will go by regu-
lar steamer and on The special vessels that

authority of Congress and in the absence
of any request from the Governor OF
Illinois. 1t is understood, however that
the President and Secretary Alger are
supported by Attorney-General McKenna,
who holds that the President has the
right to make such disposition of troops
as he sees fit in an emergency. Besides,
the cases are not PARALLEL. Alaska is a
Territory exclusively within and under
the jurisdiction of the United States Gov
eminent, while Illinois has its own State
governm ent.
1t is held that the executive branch OF
the Government certainly has the right to
order its troops here and there in emer-
gency without having TO await the sane
tion of Congress. Tney say that this
should be obvious to any reasonable mind
Besides. the post to be established in
Alaska will be only a temporary station
or winter quarters. This matter being

of OOPS the Proposed New Post City, Alaska

Secretary Alger opened up communica-
tion with General William r. Shafter, in
com mand Of the D partment Of Califor-
ria. 1t was proposed 10 send a com pany
of infantry and the suggestion was made
that one IRON the First Regiment be or
de1ed there.
General Shafter concurred in this sug-
gestion. 1t was further proposed to send
an officer to command this company who
has had exper ence in Alaska. 1t was
then decided bv Secretary Alger to order
Captain P. II. Ray to command the expo

"The present rush of prospectors and

Men and Material Prepared to Go
to the Proposed Army


|
The determination of the Secretary o!
| War to esta blish a military post at Circle
| Cry, Alaska, without delay has caused q
| deal OF figuring ard comment at the Pre-
sidio. There was much speculation at the
| garrison yesterday regarding the detail
| for service in the far north. When Gen.
eral Shafter, commanding the Department
of California, asked for volunteers anon =
the officers there was an instant respon Sc.
Lieutenants Croxton, Martin, Kiibourne
and Pickering of the First In antry at
once signified desire for active service in
| that region, and it is pro bable that al least
two of them will be ordered 10 the new
post.
Following is a copy OF the telegram
which the War Department transmitted
to General Shafter:
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 26, 1897.
Commanding General Department of Cdltfor-
MIA. San Francisco, CAL: A post is to be estab-
lished this season at Circle City, Alaska, to be
commanded by field officer of infantry who
has been selected. Can you select company
of the First Infantry with officers and men
well adapted to this duty? officers and men
could be transferred to meet requirements.

Of War. SAMUEL BRECK
Acting Adjutant-General.
Yesterday the military authorities here
and in Washington were busy i'll arrang-
ing the details of the expedition. General
Staiter wired the Secretary of War that a
company of the First Infantry, with Off
GERS and men well adapted to the duty
could be selected here. There is still a
question whether the troops will be sent
from this department, but much activity
was manifested yesterday in getting to-
gether medical supplies and commissary
stores.
Captain Guy L. Edie. assistant surgeon,
of the expedition. He was directed
yesterday by Colonel Middleton, deputy
surgeon-gen neral and chief surgeon of this
department, to take along with him medi-
cal supplies for eighteen months. DR..
Edie will leave the Presidlo next Monday
and sail from Seattle for Circle City on
August 5.
DR.. kneedler, an army surgeon sta
toned at San Diego, wired to General
Shafter yesterday rendering his services
for the expedition, but before his
dispatcn was received DR.. Kulp, assistant
surgeon at Vancouver barracks, had been
detailed for the duty.
The chief OF the commissary depart
ment yesterday arranged for sending to
Circle City supplies sufficient to subsst
fity-six men for eighteen months.
Colonel James NJ Moore, chief quarter
master of the department, received ten
deIs for transportation, but the offers
were not given in response to official in

COLD WEATHER ORANGES
A Variety That, It Is Said, Will Stand
a Temperature Of IL Degrees

W. L. shumate. manager for the e. ].
Biering orchard and nursery at Hitch
cock, was In the city few days ago with
a sample Of oranges grown there. Mr..
Shumate says he Is going to have an or
ange that will stand the low temperature
that sometimes visits this country, and
here Is how he is going to do 1t:
He has budded the Satsuma orange on
the citrus trifoliata or wild orange Of
Japan, and gotten a plant that will with
stand temperature Of II degrees and at
the same time yield a sweet-fiavored
fruit of average size. This combination
was tried in Louisiana, and was the only
one Of about 100 varieties that withstood
the cold snap OF the winter Of 1893. It is
Mr.. Shumate's design to take the seed Of
these oranges. plant them, bud plant on
the citrus trifoliata and get a plant
three-fourths hardy where this one Is
half hardy.
The citrus trifoliata is used for hedges
in New York and northern states where
the temperatures are severe in winter.
The fruit is a small. sour orange, unfit
to eat, but the result Of the combination
Is something wonderful. Mr.. Shumate
says the tree from which he plucked the
oranges he displayed yesterday was
planted a year ago last July and now has
about a dozen oranges. Other trees, 2
years old, have about thirteen oranges.
A matured tree will bear several hum
bred oranges, and after about six years
Mr.. Shumate says they will not be af-
fected by any cold weather Of this lat
itude. He has great hopes for the cul-
