RACING AFTERMATH.
Myrtle Kids Banquetted by the
Losing Grew.

LOSiHS tISWs
According to the understanding un-
der which the boat race yesterday was
made the losing crew entertained the
winners at dinner at the Arlington
Hotel last night Mine Host Krouse
anticipated the appetites Of the young
men, and prepared meal in which
quality and quantity were both con-
sidered.
When the meal was well under way
w. F. Love, coxswain Of the losing
crew, called for a toast to the stroke,
Mr.. Damon, and the winning crew, to
which the young man responded with
easy grace, telling of his proposed de-
parture from the Islands and the aloha
he had for the Myrtle Club in general,
but the winning crew in particular.
AS each coarse came on the table,
toasts were offered to various members
of the crews and others who took part
in the race. "Shanks" Mossman, who
caused the race to be rOwed, was called
upon for speech, and responded by
saying that "the result was as he had
expected, and his opinion expressed be-
fore the race was not mere guessWork,
but based upon his judgment of the
qualifications of an oarsman" He had
seen great many races from the
docks, from boats and the dizzy
heights of Pearl City algeroba tree,
and he was convinced that the crew of
the Alice M. had better staying quail
ties and superior Drawn to the others;
there was an Al stroke and an Al cox
swan. If Arthur Giles showed better
generalship than Willie Love, it was
due to the fact that being younger,
he probably took more active in
terest in the races He did not think
it right to deprecate the capabilities
of a good thing" but he was con-
strained to believe that the coxswain
of the Stranger could have more real
sport viewing the race from the club
house veranda than in plotting a los
ing crew. Circumstances might have
made this dinner less enjoyable, but
when he agreed to furnish the dinner if
the Alice MS boys lost, he knew
whereof he spoke.
Other tOasts were responded to by
Messrs c. B. Wilson, w. F. Love, W.
w. Harris, G. Harris, S. Lyle, G. An
gus, Charles Crane, w. H. Crozier,
Sam Johnson and Percy Lishman. At
the close some one suggested "The
health of George Martin, the only mem
Der Of the club who always carries
the clubs colors." There were 81 mem
bers present.

Off For The Klondilzc.

San Francisco, July I6.-San Francis
CO has not been stirred by any mining
discovery since the opening up of the
| great bonanzas on the Comstock Lode in
Nevada, nearly thirty years ago, as it
has been for two days by the stories of
twoscore sup-tanned and liard-featured
miners who have just returned from the
new Klondike camp OH the Yukon
| River in far Alaska
These stories would have excited deri-
| sion were it not that all these men were
| able to furnish ocular proof of their tales
with pounds of yellow gold. Not one of
the party went into this camp last fall
with anything more than his outfit aud a
| few hundred dollars. Not one came out
with less than IS, 900 dozen cleaned up
| from $4,000 to $4,000, while half
dozen averaged from SEC, 900 to 100000.
Scores of them left claims that they
| valued at $4,000 to $1,000, 900. which
are now being worked by their partners
or by hired laborers. They are not
boosters or boomers. In fact, they are
| careful to warn any one about venturing
into the Yukon country unless ne is
young, vigorous, and brave, able to bear
hardships, and has from $500 to $1,000
! for outfit and current expenses after
reaching the new gold fields. Perhaps
| it is these very conservative views which
have made their talk take such powerful
hold on the popular imagination
OF course, the flst keen enthusiasm
MAY fade and next spring may see few
go to the far North, but no one who has
observed the popular feeling here will
be surprised to see 5000 men go from
this city, and perhaps 800 or more will
start next month. The blood of the Ar
gonauts flows in the veins of half OF the
Califoraians, and stories of rich mining
strikes sttI them as blast of trumpets
Every one here knows the history of the
far northern bonanzas and is prepared to
discount the extra enthusiasm of return
ed miners, for all remember the hard
fortunes OF the thousands of Californiaus
who rushed to Cariboo and Fraser River
placers nearly forty years ago, only to
| find that there were fifty men for every
claim aud that the paying district was so
small it could not support 5000 men.
IT is no doubt better to have coal
strike now than in winter time; still, if
ong continued, and there is a shortage
in coal, manufacturers Will suffer, per
haps be compelled to close down, and
this will affect wages all along the
line.

The School Appropriation.
Forest Republican,

tfOIesj hepuDucdD
Perhaps the country members dldn
score home run this week in the house.
For two years past. Senator Walter
Merrick of Tioga county, has given his
best energies tc solving the question how
to secure a more just and equitable dis
tribution of the State appropriation to
the Common Schools. After weeks and
mouths of study and hard labor and, 1
might say, demand from those high IN
political authority, to aid in this piece
of Justice, Senator Merrick succeeded,
where every other attempt had failed,
in passing such bill through the Sen
ate. 1t came over to the house. and, as
Chairman of the Committee on Educa-
ton, it naturally went into the hands of
Mr.. Hammond of Westnoreland, for
passage through the House That gen
tleman very promptly proved himself
wholly inadequate to the task. by his
advice to the House to accept two OF
three amendments proposed by Phila-
delphias oldest member, Mr.. Stewart,
which in effect would have nullifed the
intent of the bill, and given to the coun
| try a stone instead OF the bread they
asked for Jim Moore of Butler, tran
whom there is no brighter member in
the House, readily caught on, and
his objection prevented the amendments
| from being inserted in the bill. From
| this time on the bill was i'll Aloc4e 5
charge. The little independent cuss,
as he is often referred TO guided the
bill through the House against heavy
| odds.
1t required backbone and if Jim
| hasn't anything else in this world, no
one who knows him will deny that he
has an abundance Of that The bill
was bitterly fought by the PhiladeI-
phians, who have for years past had a
| very unequal share OF this money and
| as last resort TO kill the bill they at
| tempted fillibustering tactics, but these
We're promptly shut off by motion for
| the previous question, which shut OF
further debate. When this motion was
| made the CONSERVATION or the oppo
| nents of the bill was plainly seen. Evl

was carried in fine form

WASHINGTON NOTES.

On Saturday il was reported that the
Senate conferees had yielded 70 the
rate Of one-eighth differential on re
fined sugar and had receded from the
provision for discount on jaggery and
other low grade sugars.
The Conference Report on the tariff
bill was presented in the House by
C.airman Dingley, Last Monday noon,
debated until nearly midnight. and
passed by a vote of 1876 to lis. Mr.,
Dingley is supporting the bill said re
garding the sugar schedule: The diff
ferential duty on sugar, a. agreed on
bv the Committee Of Conference. Is the
same as that provided for by the
schedule as passed by the House Of
REPRESENTATIVES The latter was ~
cents on each hundred pounds The
Conference Committee gives the same.
viz, 12I cents on each hundred pounds.
may add that under the present, or
Wilson, tariff law the differential duty
is 22I cents on each hundred pounds.
The bill. as it will be passed by the
House. fixes protection on refined sugar
at q little more than one half the exist
ing rate
The Tariff Bill. with creme
changes, is again in the Senat and it
is expected that a vote will be + .ched
by the end of the week.
Section s of article III oi the coustitu-
ton of Pennsylvania is as follows The
mem bers of the General Assembly shall
receive such salary and mileage for
regular and special sessions as shall be
fixed by law. AND NO OTHER COMPEN-
SATION WHATEVER, WHETHER FOR
SERVICES UPON COMMITTEES OR OTHER
WISE. No member of either house
shall, during the term for which he
may have been elected, receive any in
crease or mileage under any law passed
during such term.
Thus the Constitution explicitly pro
hibits the payment of the bills OF mem
bers of the Legislature which they al
lege they contracted in making inyrstl
cations Here is ample justification for
the veto by Governor Hastings or the
monstrous investigation bills.
