KIondske river falls into the Yukon. IN the
Northwest territories OF Canada about
10 miles from the froRtier between Can
ada and Alaska
There are two routes TO Il: CD BY the
steamer 10 Quebec. and thence by
the Canadian Pacific railway TO
Victoria or Vancouver fifteen
days, lowest afre SIS S. aD
thence by steamer TO the mouth Of the
Yukon Alaska. which is not open TIL about
July /, and thence Up the Yukon for Is 40
miles. taking eighteen to twenty days
This route is only open from about June 10
September. and the total time taken from
England 10 the klondike would De SIX 10
eight weeks at least %. BY steamer from
Victoria or Vancouver, by juneau to the
head OF the Lynn canal tabout loo miles
from Yictor1a), thence By the ChIlkoot pass
or the White pass 1.-TWO days., and the
lakes or the Lewis. or head waters Of the
Yukon river, and through the White Horse
rapids, thence down the Yukon. which Is
navigable by steamers, to the KIondike.
Baggage and provisions can be taken by
horses or Indian carriers across the Chill
koot or White pass. and canoes or boats
must be procured or built for the water
part OF the journey. This route is only
practicable from June to September. when
the water is clear OF ice, and would take
five or six weeks from England.
The above facts show that both journeys
are long and expensive, and can only be
undertaken during the summer after the
fee has disappeared. Provisions are very
scarce and dear, II procurable at ALL Il Is
too late for any one to start now and all
persons are strongly warned against at
tempting IL Under the most favorable
conditions, and supposing that steamboats,,
canoes, and food supplies were all ready
and available. the journey would take from
five TO eight weeks, and the traveller would
reach the gold diggings just as winter was
closing in, and mining was, to great ex-
tent. stopped.
Persons going TO the diggings should
leave here next April. so as to reach Van
couver or Victoria In time TO start for the
north as soon as the routes and rivers are
open. The journeys, though not exactly
dangerous are difficult and expensive, and
no one should think of going there who is
not strong and well supplied with money
for the journey and for food. Nor should
any one go who has not some considerable
experience In prospecting and in roughins
IL In wild and unsettled countries All
others are strongly warned against going
there.

Notwithstanding the nischievous efforts
OF Austria TO exclude Great Britain from
the concert Of the powers. the proposal Of
the Marquis of Salisbury TO guarantee the
payment OF the Grecian indemnity loan has
been accepted. At the same time that pro-
posaI has been modified so that Il avoids
the objection raised BY Germany which
was acting in the interests OF the holders
Of Greek bonds. upon which the interest
has defaulted- On this point Germany
seems to have been in the right in up
holding the interest Of Germans who are
extensive holders OF the bonds

able to discover. Gov. Rogers did not in
his Spokane Labor day speech, explain
why prosperity was settling upon all Sec
tons Of the country despite the fact that

Bryan Rides on Passes.
San Francisco Dispatch to the Pittsbr
I1iSna fnh


Dispatch.
William Jennings Bryan not only used a
pass from Sacramento to Portland during
his recent visit TO the Coast, but he re-
ceived from the Southern Pacific a pass
from Ogden 10 San Francisco. This Is
shown by the following letter from Mr.
Bryan to W. w. Foote. who obtained for
him the Sacramento pass:
Please get me transportation from Sac
ramento TO Portland, with stop-over privi-
leges, and give Ii TO Pullman conductor
on tonightS train for Portland. l will
call for IL at Sacramento.
Il want II on advertising account of
Omaha World Herald; paper telegraphed
for it. / obtained ticket from Ogden to
Sacramento on that telegram.
''W. j. BRYAN"
In reply TO this letter William II. Mills.
of the Southern Pacific. sent to MIR. Bryan
this letter:
Inclosed please find transportation
from San Francisco to Portland, on ac-
count Of advertising in Omaha World
Herald. Omaha World-Herald is charged
on ledger account of advertising depart
ment. Trusting this will be satisfactory,
l remain yours truly,
WILLIAM II. MILLS"

that at that time IL carried no Southern
Pacific advertisements and Mr.. Bryan was
not connected with that paper editorially.

The striking miners have preserved the
peace far better than might have been
expected from SO large a number OF men
who consider themselves TO be aggrieved.
IL was not until force was attempted
against them that they resorted 10 force.
The men have been kept peaceable by
hopes that a settlement would be reached,
but the attempt to evict them from their
homes was a proclamation that no COM
promise was in view. and that it was to
be a war TO the end.

Portland Oresonian-

Washington's Populist governor feels
mournful over the promise of prosperity
to the agricultural classes given in the
large crops and high prices. This is nat
ural with one whose political capital is his
ability to make voters believe they are in
terrible condition. from which they can
be rescued only through the sociaustic
schemes OF cheap politicians.

destruction OF crops Is deplorable. The

this new misfortune. but it will probably

did during the last famine.
