San Francisco. July 19.-The Alaskan
gold fields and the stories brought here
by the recent arrivals from, the Clondyke
continue to be an absorbing topic of con-
versation throughout this city.
From every quarter comes fresh reports
of the astonishing posi- bikties of the
newly discovered camp, and the spirits
of adventurescme fortune seekers have
now been famed into consuming flame.
In every quarter may be found prospect
tive miners. prospective merchants. trad
ers. trademen and work.ngmen. all of
whom are outlining plans for profitable
occupation in the region of the country
which Is at this moment the center of
the worlds interest
Those whose knowledge of Alaska and
OF the Alaskan gold fields entitle them TO
speak intelligently on the subject, not
only seem 10 share a similarity of opin-
ion as 70 the great resources of the ter
rltory that has jst been opened, but also
as To the resources that those who go
hither to seek the precious metal must
possess If they hope to return with any
degree Of success.
In an interview today. II. ]. Boring.
who has visited that section for the last
ten seasons. spoke briefly of his ideas Of
the Alaskan prospects. and while his i'm
presSions are of most sanguine charac-
ter, ne says emphatically that in his opin-
ION no man should journey to the Clon-
dyke country without at least $1,000 in
money and supplies
The. season in which the mines can be
worked IS from May 10 To Sept. 10, and
during that time the weather closely r.
seIn0.es the weather in this locality. but
during the balance of the-year il is i'm
possible to work the mines unless they
are operated underneath the covering of
a house.
The cost of living may be safely esti-
mated at 50 per day. and those who go

IN THE SENATE.
Morgan Continues His Drive at the
Union Pacific.

washington, July 19.-The senate, af-
ter assembling, went into executive
session for over two hours. and on
reepening the doors the conference re-
port on the general deficiency bill was
agreed to-
Inc Harris resolution in regard to
the Union Pacific railway was taken
up and Mr.. Morgan (Dem.. Ala.) con-
tlnued his speech on the subject. He
read a letter from a correspondent
saying that in the manipulations the
stock the large shareholders had tbeen
protected while smaller holders had
been frozen out. This was about to be
done again. He hoped the president
would defer action in order to enable
congress to look into the matter.
MI Harris (Kan.) hoped a vote would
soon be had
Mr.. Thurston gave notice of his in
tention to discuss the subject in the
future
Mr.. Stewart New then took the
floor He reviewed the history of the
construction of the road, contending
that it was patriotic effort and not
a scheme TO rob the government

OF just dues TO. the government. but
objected to their being regarded as
criminals He desired to have the
whole matter closed The resolution
under consideration would accomplish
no purpose. Mr.. Thurston (Neb.) then
spoke in opposition to the resolution.
He contended that the government had
already risked enough money in the
investment: that without exchanging
and other further expenditure it should
proceed in the ordinary legal methods
through the courts of the country to
enforce its legal rights. whatever they
might be. and to secure repayment of
all its dues and whatever property
the courts shall find are justly subject
thereto. The proposition before the
senate, he said. stripped of technical
titles, was simply to invest another

ting it back on the ultimate sale of

Imagination utterly fails to conceive
the joy of the pilgrims when they re-
allied that their journey was done, and
that before them lay their longsought
promised land.
Over the trail they made followed in
rapid succession other trains of pio-
neers, and over it later, rode the pony
expressman. travelled the stage coach
and whirled the railroad train.
Long Will be remembered the courage
and faith of the pioneers of Utah, but
longest Will be remembered the cOur-
age and faith of the original band. The
achievement are imperisha bly, written
in the history of Utah. and what they
did and suffered will be told in song
and story TO the last syllable of re-
corded time.
OF that first band at this writing but
a few still live. and these, on the 24th
of July, 1897. on the fiftieth birthday
and year of the sovereign state they
founded, will be received by the CRATE
full people of Utah and given places Of
honor in the great commemorative Ju-
bilee then to be held. Their aged lips
Will then perhaps for the last time De
heard to tell the story of privations
and hardships they have suffered. But
the story viii not cease to be told, for
when they have passed away il will be
related by their children 10 their grand
children, and to the coming generations
as we relate TO the Romans the stor.
of how Horafius held the bridge against
the invaders of the Eternal City. The
history of the settlement of our country
is replede with accounts of heroism in
war and of the daunfless courage of
those VINO have carried civilization
beyond its Outposts; but no names re-
corded among those of the nations
great will be more honored or longer
revered than the names of those who
made possible the present prosperity
and development Of what is now known
as our western empire. High among
those names will be written the name
of Brigham Young, the pioneer and
statesman, whose rare genius conceived
and whose incomitable energy executed
the plan TO redeem the wilderness and
build therein the state of Utah.

Washington, July 2O.-The conference
report on the bill was adopted by the
house shortly after midnight by a
vote Of 1S5 TO lis, and at noon today the
report viii go to the senate for action
there. This quite eclipses all previous
records.
The result was accomplished after
Il hours of continuous debate. But
two speeches were made by the Re
publicans, one by Mr.. Dingley. in open
ing the debate and by Mr. Payne, of
New York, in closing If. The Democrats
were thus forced to put forth speaker
after speaker. but their bombsTdment
OF the Republican position was I'M
answered.
In ali, ten Democratic and one
Ropulist speeches were made, Messrs.
Wheeler. OF Alabama; Swanson of Vir-
ginia, Bah of Texas. Lanham Of
Texas and Mcmillan, of Tennessee, be-
ing the speakers.
The sugar schedule was the main
point of assault, but the most interest
ing feature Of the debate occurred when
M. Bailey and Mr.. Mcmillan, the two
rival Democratic leaders, crossed
swords on the question of orthodoxy
of the free raw material doctrine, the
former opposing and the latter cham
poning it.
The galleries were crowded up 10 the
time the vote was taken, many dis
tinguislhed people being present. Among
them were several members of the
cabinet, and a few members of the
diplomatic corps.
Every Republican in the house who
was present voted for the report.
The Democrats with five exceptions
voted against the report. The excep-
tons We're Slayden, Of Texas; Brow
ssrd, of Louisiana; Meyer of Louisiana:
Davey of Louisiana, and Kleburg of
Texas
