The Marching Strikers.
St. Louis, July 21.-There has been
no disorder of any kind at Belleville,
Ill. The marching strikers from
0'Fallon and Connellsville, 300 in num-
Der, arrived at Belleville Tuesday even
ing. They had two six-horse wagons
and half dozen four-horse teams
decorated with flags and banners and
flowers. The procession went up High
street and halted in the courthouse
square. Here the marchers were fed
from the commissary wagon, supple
mented by supplies contributed by citi-
zens. 1t had been intended to hold
meetings in the evening but the men
were too tired from the march, and
this was abandoned. The marchers de-
clare their intentions are eminently
peaceful. They say their mission is to
induce the 1900 Belleville miners to
quit work, but they say they will adopt
no other methods but those of argu-
incentive persuasion. All fears of seri-
Gus trouble in Belleville have died out
owing to the pacific talk of the march
ers

From, the Me,u Era, Greensourg, Inc,

The St. Paul correspondent for the Neo
Ere recently had ansiton, regarding the case
of Mable Stevens, who had just recovered
from serious illness of rheumatism and
nervous trouble, and was able to be out for
the first time in three months. The letter
stated that it was n very bad case and her
recovery was considered such surprise to the
neighbors that it created considerable gossip.
Being anxious to learn the absolute facts
in the case, special reporter was sent to
have talk with the girl and her parents.
They were not at home, however, being some
distance away. A message was sent to Mr..
Stevens asking him to write up full his.

"DEAR SIRs: Your kind letter received

tell you about the sickness and recovery of

"Two years ago this winter Mabel began
complaining of pains in her limbs, princi.

old and doing so well in her studies that I
disliked to take her from school but we had

Governor of Northwest Territory
Tells of Richness of Klondyke.

Governor of NOrthwest Territory
Tells of Richness of Klondyke.
Seattle, WASH, July 81. = Hon. G. B.
Mcintosh, governor of the northwest
territory, in which is included the far
famed Klondyke district, is in Seattle.
The governor freely subscribed to the
| truthfulness of the stories sent out as
to the richness of the new diggings. He
estimates that the Klondyke and its
| tributaries yielded over $3,000,000 in
gold last winter. OF this amount, he
says, 100000 and upwards came via
the steamships Portland and Excelsior.
More than million dollars in dust, he
says, is now stored away in the cabins
of miners along the creek being devel-
oped.
''The British Yukon yield of gold for
1897" the governor resumed, "will not
be less than $10,0OO,00O."
He says surveyors are now at work
trying to ascertain the Feasibility of a
construction of railroad into the Yu-
kon. One route contemplates line of
steamers from Fort Wrangle up the
Styken river.
San Francisco, July 21.-The excite
ment over the recent discoveries of gold
in Alaska continues here, and when the
steamer Excelsior leaves for St. Mich
aels next Sunday she will carry all the
miners supplies she can hold. The Ex-
celsior will be the last steamer to con-
this year from San Francisco to con-
meet with the Yukon steamers, but there
is already talk of chartering another
steamer to take up crowd of miners.
No more news from the Klondyke re-
gions will be received until the steamers
leaving here and Seattle have returned.
Washington, July 21.-Commissioner
Hermann, of the general land Office,
states that he will recommend the es-
tablishment of two land districts in
western Alaska, the two offices to be
placed on the Yukon river or its trib-
utaries, in anticipation of great num-
Der of contentious over mineral land
locations in various sections where the
gold discoveries have been made. He
says that as that region is practically
without law, especially as to the set
Element of contests the local land Of
fees will be of indefinite value to the

preservation of law and order. The Of
fees, it is probable, will be located at

eral land Office is in hourly expectation
of petitions and requests for such ac

Want Tidal Canal Finished.

Oakland, CAL, July 21. = The people
of Alameda have forwarded memorial
to congress asking that the tidal canal
of Oakland harbor be completed. Work
on the canal was commenced 20 years
ago and almost 100000 has been
spent on it, but no work has been done
on the canal since 1892. Nearly $5Oo,ooo
has been spent by the cities of Oakland
and Alameda for the construction Of
sewers pending the finishing of the
canal and unless the work is completed
this sewerage system will be of little
service. 1t is estimated that further
appropriation of 100000 will suffice to
complete the work.
