brief but patriotic speech. He quoted
Walt Whitman, and said the United
States had right to send its barbaric
yawp over the roofs of the world, and
that Americans were freer than any
other great people from cringing before
the strong or bullying the weak.
Special Am bassador Reid made
more elaborate response to the toast
proposed by Bishop Potter. prefacing
his address with a sympathetic refer
ence to the death of Admiral Miller's
daughter, and informing the gathering
that the Queen had graciously sent
message of coincidence to the bereaved
father. 1t was after midnight before the
speeches were concluded.

THE trial of the Competitor crew did
not take place at Havana on July Let,
as expected. 1t may not take place
for several months. unless the United
States government presses the matter.
The authorities in Havana hesitate to
bring the men to trial for diplomatic
reasons. They realize the fact that if
the laws Of Spain mean anything, and
are not to be brought into disrepute,
the sentence of the Competitor flibus-
tsrs must be severe one. On the other
hand. Spain does not desire to aggravRte
any hostile feeling that may already ex-
list in the United States against her.
About the middle of June Consul Cen
eral Lee. by direction of his govern
ment, pressed for an early trial. He
pointed out that long delay had al
ready taken place and declared it unjust.
General Weyler stated that it was sim
possible to say when the trial would
be brought on" This means that it has
been thought best to delay the trial in.

Mr.. Backu. aud the Police start In to Reform
Coney Island.

Police Captain Collins, acting upon instruc-
tons received from Police Commissioner
Welles, started In yesterday to cleanse Concy
Island of its immoral features. This action was
inspired, It is believed. by the announcement
made by District Attorney Backus that the
island must bo purggd of all its suggestive
dances and other immoral shows. Tho orders
given yesterday were that all women who vio-
lated the law should be arrested and not al
lowed to reappoar on n Concy Island stage.
Detectives were placed along tho BoYery to
watch all fake games, and orders were given to
fortune tellcrs who have recently been posing
as character readers" to leave the island.
The proprletors of couchce.coucheo dance
halls received their first setback since the
opening of the season. Several fakirs and two
women accused OF disordcrly conduct were

noon and told him that the women who had
heretofore performed the Oriental dances would
no longer appear upon their stages. Upon this
assurance District Attorney Backus said he
would not apply to Mayor Wurstcr for an order
revokinR their licenses.
District Attorney Backus in an interview yes
terday afternoon said that he was determined to
make Concy Island n respectable resort in every
way so far as in his power. If the property
owners do not join him in his efforts he Will, he
says, lay the matter before the Grand Jury. "A
theatre that will tolerate the couchee.Couchce
dance" District Attorney Backus says, "should
not have a license, and the only way to overcome
the violations of the law is to stop these dances
altogether"
Last evening Detective Garland was sent
down to the island, under instructions from Dis

Melles. He visited tho Turkish Theatre on

STATIONS FOR THE GUyBoArs.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. Orders were is
sued by the Navy Department to-day to com.
mission the gunboat Marietta at the Mare ISL
and Navy Yard on Sept. l, with instructions
that she be prepared at once for sea service.
The disposition Of the vessel has not been de-
termined, but for two or three months after
entering upon active duty she will be attached
to the fleet under Admiral Miller and late in
the autumn will be sent probably to Honolulu
to relieve the Bennington, which is not dcs-
tined TO remain there long. Later the Mari.
eta will sail for the Asiatic station, where she
will be especially valuable on account Of her
light draught, in the shallow rivors, and in the
event of missionary troubles will be able to give
ample protection owing to her strong second
AIRY. battery and large crew. 1t is planned to
maintain several light-draught vessels of her
class on this station and possibly retain only
miral's flagship. The Helena will be one of the
hips and the Nashville another.
Lieut. Commander r. NJ. Simonds is ordered
to command the Marietta with the following
officers as her complement: Lieut.. W. b.
Caperton, who is detached from the Brooklyn:
Ensign II. X. Benham, who is relieved from
the Washington Navy Yard; Ensign F. b. Bias

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 1O.-The price OF wheat here
to-day advanced to the highest point reached
this year, being quoted at s4ns at one time. The
bulge on the day at the high point was oa cents,
and caused intense excitement on the Mer-
chants Exchange. When the market was al
S4's cents the option was held higher than
cash wheat. The cash price on call was sAls
cents.
At the first sign of weakening on the part of
the bulls there was a good deal of selling to
realize profits, and the market became more
nearly normal.
The opening. go cents, was only ls cent over
Mondays close and gave the gucssers little to
work on. A rise of 1as cents was the first indi-
cation of which way tho wind blew. 1t was q
comparatively modest bulge. but IL was founded
on legitimate bull news and paved the way for
big jumps later.
The opening foreign cables were higher, an in.
dication that the foreign demand on which tho
exporters have been basing their operations was
still heavy.
Brddstreet's report Of the worlds visible sup
ply was the clinching bull argument, and was
one of the immediate causes of the raid. 1t
showed a dccreas so of 1928, 900 bushels. The
market closed at S3la cents. a net gain of 1ls
cents for tho day. 1t was noticed that Haar.
stick. Spencer. Francis. and Warren, who con-
stitute the big local p0S, led the rush to-day.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1O.-Among the pas
sengers on the steamer Humboldt, which sailed
to-day for Alaska, was Mrs. L. G. Rowland, a
Boston young woman and n recent graduate of
Harvard Annex. She Is accompanied by her
husband and father-in.law. Mrs. Rowland Is
well aware that juvenile students are scarce in
Dawson, SO she will look for pupils among the
miners.
Mrs. Rowland has talked with many persons
who have returned from Dawson and has been
informed that many of the men there would be
glad of an opportunity to gain a little book
learning now that they are in a good way to be-
come wealthy. Besides. during the long winter
months, when little can be done digging gold.
they would hail the establishment of u school as
a desirable resource during the long hours OF
darkness.
She carries the frame and all the material for
a schoolhouse, ready TO be put together. with
books. states, charts, and o.hor supplies. Her
husband will run a Steamboat on the Yukon.

When Uncle Sam purchased Alaska with all
its seals. gold and icebergs, the Poltkowsky was
q Russian man-of-war on the stocks at Sitka, a
genuine home production, which was thrown in
for good measure and now. after q lapse of over
aquarter of a century. she returns to her Alaskan
home q mere hulk.
The Anderson and Merwin also have histories,
and have been In ocean waters long enough to
call every fish by name. One hundred men took
passage on these vessels bound for the gold
fields OF Klondike. and Drawer men never faced
the north. All the rest of tho available space
was occupied with freight of every description.
The passengers are chiefly from Kentucky and
Michigan.
Nuggets worth from $40 upward. taken from
mines on theAlaska side previous to the Klondike
discovery, arc on exhibition here. These mines.
which were in active operation and paying
Bplendidly, were abandoned because there was
something further away and moro inaccessible
that paid better.
To this class OF mines the attention of Ameri-
cans is now being called. There Is no royalty or
robbery. and every miner Is under the protec-
ton of the Stars and Stripes.
The city is filling up with Yukon-bound men
faster than the ships can carry them away, and
1t Is the general impression that the tide NOW
Set to the north will continue with little abate-
ment all the fall and winter.

dixie country, ana gives n list Of some Of tho
miners who returned from the gold fields on
July IA and IL, together with the value In dol.
lars OF tho dust they brought with them. These
figures may, perhaps, DO taken as the most roli-
able thus far obtained.
In an article headed Like n Tale from the
Arabian Nights" the Record says that the OK
citemcnt in Juneau over the gold discoveries
has been redoublod by tho reports brought by
miners who returned from the mines by tho
steamer Al-Ki, which arrived at Juneau from
the Dyca on July %. 1t states that tho gold
fever has spread to quarters where it was
supposed impossible for 1t to reach.
Tho paper refers to tho exaggerated stories
that have been circulated about the wonderful
finds made by some Of tho Klondikc miners. In
order to find out, rs nearly as possible, tho OK
act amount in dollars that tho most fortunate of
the returned miners would receive in exchange
for their dust. n representative of the Record
saw the bags OF dust of forty mon weighed.

BROUGHT them arc reprinted here:
