A Rich Gold Discovery Reported From
Nicaragua.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. IA new gold
field has been discovered, but this one is
in the tropics. Reports have come to
this city lately that big finds of gold
have been made in Nicaragua. and
steamers from that section have been
bringing in gold dust in proof of it.
E. S. Spence, a well-known citizen of
Houston, Tex, arrived here on the Full
ton, plying between New Orleans and
Nicaraguan ports, and confirmed the
stories about the discoveries in Nicara-
qua. He says he has been all over the
gold fields, and that gold is there in
large quantities. He has acquired valu-
able claims and will return as soon as he
can make arrangements to work them.
He says the whole gold region down
there is very rich and the climate splen-
did He Gays unemployed miners of the
United States will do much better there
than in attempting to go to Alaska.
Food in Nicaragua is cheap, and other
expenses are reasonable.

NEW CONVERTS TO OPTIMISM.
Senators Stewart and Jones Admit
Prosperity is Here.

Senators Stewart and Jones Admit
Prosperity is Here.
New York, Aug. 12.-The Times to-
day publishes the following:
Senator Stewart is one of the latest
converts to commercial optimism. He
is engaged in a vigorous compaign in
Wall street, and he said yesterday that
he had heard 80 much about better times
that he had determined to gather in a
part of the prosperity which Is now not
only rampant in the street. but outside.
When asked what had brought about
the change in his views, he said:
"There is no room for pessimIsm in
this country, no one can be a bear in the
face of the wheat famine in Argentine.
Russia, Hungary and India. In view of
these conditions abroad should not be
surprised to see silver sell for 25 cents
and wheat as high as a dollar,
''There is nothing in talking silver at
the present time, and my advice to my
friends in the West is to fall in line with
the forces Of prosperity and progress and
receive their due share of the reward"
''Are the people in the West alive to
this new situation?"
''The people in the West,'' he replied,
''are wide awake. They know a good
thing when they see it. Most of them
are hanging on to their cereals with con-
fidence born of hope and actual know
ledge of what is going on around them.
With their immense crops they will
be able not only to liquidate their
Indebtedness to the money sharks of the
East, but will inaugurate a buying
movement that will surprise the people
in this part of the country. think that
by the late fall the truth of what l said
and reiterated during the campaign will
be generally recognized, and this is that
there can be no general prosperity in a
country that is not born and sustained
in the West

GOLD HUNTERS OFF
Steamer ROsalie Sailed
Thursday for Skaguay.
SHE CARRIES $50 PROsPECTORS
All Go Fully Determined to Conquer
the Pass--Wreck of the
Mexico.

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 12.-The steam
er Rosa'ie leaves this afternoon for Dyea
and Skauguay bay with 150 miners, hail
ing from all parts of the East, who in
tend going to the Klondike over the
pass, thence down the Yukon river. 1t
is estimated now that fully 1000 men are
encamped along the beach this side of
the pass unable to get over. Many of
them have lost heart and will come
back. Some of the more courageous
will get through to the diggings and
come back rich.
T. B. Corey, well know in Washington
Illinois and Iowa as coal mine super
intendent, left Seattle July 18th for the
Northwest with four others, carrying
along provisions for one year. At Dyea
they employed band of 81 Indians to
carry their outfits and thus made Lake
Linderman on the opposite of the pass
in one trip. They paid the Indians
1925. At the lake their boats were Sc
cured and they started. In letter re-
eeived from Corey, written at Linder-
man, he says they were on the eve of
departure and if everything has gone
well with they should reach Dawson
City today. Corey is cautious, deter
mined, strong-will man and it is be-
lieved his party will not only reach the
diggings but will have the honor of max
ing the fastest trip to the interior on
record.
Some miners at Dyea ond Skaguay
are selling $500 and $500 outfits for from
$50 to $50. The rush to the mines will
demonstrate for all time which are
thoroughbreds, for none but thorough
breds can expect to get along and keep
up heart.
The wreck of the steamer Mexico is
still being talked of in Seattle. 1t now
develops that the officers disobeyed the
orders of Captain Thomas IN a manner
that might have resulted disastrously.
When the passengers took to the boats
the captain gave orders to the officers
as follows: Grow away 100 feet and
then tie all the boats together so that we
can all keep together" This was not
done. Two boats started to row towards
the fog bank the men thinking they saw
land, and it was only good luck that
made them turn back and keep with the
other six boats. For time the boats
were scattered in all directions and it is
luck pure and simple that some of the
boats loaded with men, women and
children are not at this moment drifting
around on the open sea with perishing
crew.
The rush northward has not abated
and steamers leaving during the next
ten days will be crowded with miners.
Many, however, are preparing to winter
in Seattle and go North in the spring.

received here from Coffee Greek to the
effect that SAC, 700 more of gold dust and
nuggets were taken out yesterday after
noon from the pocket out of which the
Graves brothers took their $4,000 last
Saturday.

The Sick Man of Europe.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 13.-Placards
in Arabic characters have been found
posted upon the walls of all the
miniesries demanding change in the
system of government in the Turkish
empire, Placards declare that other
wise blood will flow as during the Ar
menian massacres.
The minister for war, Ria Pasha, has
sent circular to all the Turkish COM
manders directing them to watch the
officers strictly. This step is attributed
to the increasing discomfort visible in
Turkey against the present government.

Discriminating Duty VIII Destroy Their
Oriental Trade.
MONTREAL, Aug. 12.-The decision of
Attorney General McKenna as to the in
depreciation of the clause of the new
United States tariff which deals with
the imposition of 10 per cent differen-
tial to the duty on foreign goods enter
ing the United States through contigu-
GUS country, will be watched with the
greatest interest in Canada.
''If the clause is put into force" said
G. M. Bosworth, freight traffic manager
of the Canadian Pacific railroad, sits
effect will be most serious. 1t will kill
all our China and Japan business in ex-
ports intended for the United States,
and will also kill entirely Importation
into the United States through Canadian
ports. Montreal, in summer, and ST..
Johns in winter, will suffer from the
adverse legislation"
The same view was expressed by g..
B. Reeve, general traffic manager of the
Grand Trunk Railway.

Voted Down.

The question of three mill tax
in the Pullman school district was
voted down last Saturday by vote
of 2 to /. The tax was to raise
money to pay a part of the bonded
indebtedness which falls due next
year. 1t was thought to pay a part
this year so that it would be easier
to meet when it become due. Now
that the tax is voted down, the dis
trict will be called upon to pay the
entire amount next year.

Weekly Crop Report.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 81, 1897.
At the close of the week ending
Monday, August 30th, the drought
had continued throughout all entire
month, and although the absence
of rain has been favorable TO hay
ing and harvesting operations, and
to the threshing of grain, it has had
a very serious effect on pastures and
late meadows, and has lnjuriously
affected fruit and late vegetables,
Apples, especially, though abund-
ant and devoid If scab, will be
smaller than common.
Vegetables are maturing early,
before having attained complete
growth. In some localities potatoes
are good, but III many they are af-
fccted by blight or by dry rot. There
will hardly be an average crop
Pastures have grown brown and
bare, in many places burned up by
heat and dry weather; the roads
have become exceedingly dusty.
Nothing unfNvorable to hops has
transpired yet, and an unusually
good crop is now fast approaching
maturity
Of The immense wheat crop of
the state there is little that is new
to be said; the favorable results
continue to show; they are even
above ali expectations. The grain
crop OF the middle and lower sound
counties is splendid; the Skagit fiat
oats perhaps never yielded more
enormously.
In he fruit districts pears, plums,
prunes and late peaches are ripen-
Ing. In most instances the product
of the orchards is satisfactory.
