MAILS FOR THE 1zLoNDIKE.
ohited states and Canada May Make
Reciprocal Advancement.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The post
of1lce department has written the postal
authorities of Canada concerning CO.
operation in carrying the mails to the
hlondlke country, but there is NOT
much hope of being able to reach an
adjustment, as the American contrac
tor may not accept a modification of
his contract. The proposition made is
that the two governments should CO.
operate and arrange for an interchange
OF mail at Circle City and Dawson
City, the United States to maintain a
service once month and Canada the
same. This would give two mails
every month. No reply has been re-
ceiVed from the Canadian government,
and even if it was facorable, arrange
ments must be made with the contrac-
tor Who carries mail to Circle City to
carry the mail destined for Dawson
City in Canada. His representative in
washington has intimated that he will
not care to modify his contract, and
indicates that in case there is to be
an increase in the service the contrac-
tor should have considerable more COM
pension. The postoffice department
cannot modify the contract and impose
more labor on the contractor without
his consent It is recognized at the
department that the arrangement must
be mutual agreement, not only with
the Canadian government, but with
the Alaskan contractor.

that it escaped our senators or those

are not the only ones injured. Others

AN UNw1sE AND DANGEROUS STEP

AN UNWISE AND DANGEROUS STEP.
The New York & Cleveland Gas Coal
company has taken a step, in its con-
troversy with the striking miners,
which we regard as unwise and dan
gerous in the last degree 1t is a sign
of weakness and reflection upon
the justice of their cause when the en-
plcyers have to resort to such a use
Of the power of injunction as they Sick

means, practically, that they believe
that the men will conquer by pacific
means if left to fight their battle out
In their own way, and that the COM
pany seeks to call to it's aid the power

the public will hold this in as much
adherence as it does, in other cases,
the open violation Of the law by in
stances of violence and outrage on the
part Of the men themselves. The tables
have been turned completely, and pub
lie sympathy is now upon the side of
the men, and will remain there while
the attempt to beat them is made by
methods that are repugnant to every
American citizen and lover Of liberty.

No doubt the mining operators have
been greatly annoyed by the encamp-

numbers of employees on strike. No
doubt, on the other hand, the employees
themselves have been greatly annoyed
by receiving less wages than they

to spend those wages at the companies

MI Bryan responded to calls of the
people, and made a brief address. He
referred to the fact that this day was
the anniversary of the notification and

ORGANIZING OLD SOLDIERS.
William r.. Marshall Union, Veter.
ans Union Organized.

Some forty veterans of the civil war,
Union soldiers, sailors and marines,
met at the Ryan hotel last evening,
and under the guidance of Col. 7. J.
Dunlap, of Pennsylvania, who is travel
ing about, banding together the sur
Vivors of the recent unpleasantnesS,
organized the William R. Marshall
Union No. 4, department of Minnesota,
Veterans union. This union, which
was organized in Washington in 1886,
is made up of veterans of the late war
who have served six months continu-
ously, unless discharged sooner ow-
ing to wounds received in the service.
Col. Dunlap addressed the veterans
present whom he told something of the
success of the movement to organize
in other sections. The national encamp-
ment is to be held in Springfield, ILL.,,
Aug. 10, and the newly formed Or
ganiZation will be represented Col
Dunlap, who is chief mastering officer
Of the organization, travels about, at
his own expense, it Is said, doing what
he can to organize the grizzled veter-
ans.
At the meeting last night, Col
Howard Ballard was chosen colonel
commander; j. J. Buckley, lieutenant
colonel, and Samuel Gum major The
balance of the officers will be selected
at a later meeting. Some time today
another branch organization will be
formed at the soldiers home, and this
evening Col. Dunlap will go to Still
water to establish a union there.

Learns There Will BE One Exhibit
of 100 AngOra Goats in His
Big Show.

Arrangements for the state fair and
fair week in st. Paul are progressing
every day. Yesterday a prominent
farmer of Anoka county called on Sec
rotary Randall, of the state fair, to
make arrangements for exhibiting 100
pure blooded Angora goats, which will
be brought from Texas. This will
prove a most attractive exhibit
Angora wool, from which the beautiful
mohair fabrics are manufactured, sells
IN the fleece for sixty cents a pound,
or nVe times as much as ordinary wool.
Two years ago the society inserted in
ltS premium list prizes for Angora
goats with a view to encouraging that
industry In the state on account of
it's being so we'll fitted for it. In the
last twenty years the consumption of
Angora wool in the United States has
risen from 1868 pounds to 100000
pounds. The industry is already firm
ly established in Texas and Oregon,
where 1T Is very prosperous.
splendid progress was made yester-
day In the preparations for the even
ing events in st. Paul during the state
fair. The matter was brought up at
the Jobbers union by D. R. Noyes, T.
u. Walther and other members, and
was favorably received. The jobbers
took such action as will bring about
their hearty cooperation in entertain
ing the visitors to the fair, during the
evenings Of fair week.. The retailers
Will also lend their best efforts.
A meeting of citizens was held at
the Commercial club rooms yesterday
afternoon which will result in the for
nation today Of a complete programme
or evening events. These events will
all take place down town. Among
the events talked Of are an old-fashion-
ed Virginia barbecue, the construction
of a fortress on the river, which will
be attacked by armored cruisers in
the river, as wel1sas BY battalions on
land. 1t Is known that there is suf-
ficient time to prepare most attrac-
tive series Of events worthy of the
crowds that will visit the city during
fair week. But no time will be lost.
Everything will be pushed. Everybody
is enthusiastic and there is but one
sentiment pervading all lines of bust
ness, that the entertainment should
be made a grand success.

EFFICIENCY THE TEST,
Acting Secretary Roosevelt Lays
Down the Law Regarding Vet

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. - Acting
Secretary Roosevelt has made public
the report of Commander Davis, upon
the results of his investigation into
the conduct of the New York navy
yard, in it's construction department,
by Constructor Bowles. The COM
mander's report completely vindicates
Mr.. BoWleS' management at every
point, and Acting Secretary Roosevelt
has accepted in full the conclusions
reached. The case will not again be
reopened. In his Endorsement upon
the report, which is Of general interest
in many points because of the policy
laid down as to veterans, Mr.. RooSe-
welt says:
complaint of the veterans against NJ. Bowles.
But in the department of yards and docks, it
does appear that Mr.. Reed, veteran, was dis
charged when MIR. MenocaI admits that he was
as good as the three non-veterans who were
retained. Mr. Reed will accordingly be rein
stated, not because he has any legal claim,
for he has none, but because it is the policy
Of the department where men are equally good
to retain the veterans in case it is necessary
to make discharge. The legal rights of the
veterans have not only been carefully pre-
labor regulations it has gone very far beyond
what the law requires in giving preference to
veteran soldiers and sailors, having, indeed,
gone to the very verge of the line which di-
vides inefficiency from efficiency in the effort
to do all that is possible for the soldiers and
sailors of the late war. In appointments from
the lists the veterans are given an absolute
preference, and when discharged, if they have
behaved well-even though less well than the
others-they are still given preference. In con-
sequence, the department at times has serious
difficulty in getting its work done, for some
of the divisions so crowded with veterans,
now for the most part elderly men past their
prime of life, that the work is in constant
danger of deterioration. All that saves the
work from deterioration is strict obedience
on the part of the head of the division or
bureau to the departments orders that in
making discharges the men who do inefficient
work shall invariably be discharged first. The
sole test is efficiency of work. To introduce
another test-to make for instance an allow
ance on behalf of veteran for inefficient work
would speedily produce the most damaging
effect upon the department and would mean
the liability of causing at any time some
great structural weakness or defect in the
ships of war to which the nations honor is
entrusted. Such a course is not to be con-
templated for moment, and will not be urged
by any patriotic man.
