''Our release from Germany" is q typical
caption over the London com ments to-
day.
1t is interesting TO note that in all the
comments here IS tacit acceptance of the
fact of Great Britain's political and threat
ened commercial isolation. Eaglishmen
have denied or blinked at the situation as
long as possible, but now suddenly admit
that the i'm peral consolidation policy is a
resort to which the country has been
forced by its abandonment of the old
policy.
1t is thus confessed in the st. James
Gazette: "The denunciaton of the treaty
is an interesting species OF farewell to two
generations o: what we now know to have
been mistaken policy in obedience to a
sentiment OF masquerading as common
sense. We have tried to make all neigh
bors friendly. To keep them in good
humor we have restrained our hands from
what we might perfectly well have taken,
and have even made gratuitous promises
OF not accepting things if they were
offered US. The end is that this much
courted foreigner is less in love with us
than ever
1t is amusing that while it eulogizes
Premier Laurier. and loyal Canada with
out stint the Times to-day is most conde'
scending in its announcement of the con-
sent of Great Britain to the sealing CO n
ference in October. 1t is truly English in
its observation: "The only obstacle to the
success of the negotiations has been the
dispatch of May 10 signed by Sherman
which was inspired by Foster. The
United States has, however, so far modi-
fed its views as to be content with a con-
ference. Nothing beyond that has been
proposed by the American ambassador.
Apart from the tone Of Sherman's dis
patch there never was any real difficulty,
both Governments peing desirous to pro-
tect as far as possible a legitimate in
dustry and differing only as to the facts
and N eth cd. to be pursued"
1t added: 1T is thought that Russia
and Japan may take part in the confer
ence."
There could not possibly be a more bitter
or malignant Misrepresentation OF the
case than this. Russia and Japan con-
sented to promptly send delegates. Grea,
Britain virtually refused until Sherman's
dispatch-which the Times described a
an obstacle-really proved to be neces-
sary rebuke which won an unwilling con-
sent from Salisbury.

England.
TORONTO, Ont, July 31.-Canadians
are elated over the reports that England
will abrogate the treaties with Germany
and Belgium. which prevent Canada's
preferential trade policy being operated
TO advantage in Great Britain.
The new policy is expected to partially
offset the disadvantages TO Canada from
the Dingley tariff bill. Under the new
Canadian tariff, enacted April %, double
schedule of duties is offered Canada, one
being 12k per cent lower than the other,
the lower tariff to ba used In favor of the
countries admitting products of Canada
on reciprocal terms. At the end of one
year from the date of the new tariff lower
scale of duties was to descend another 121z
per cent, making it 25 per cent lower than
the higher schedule. 1t was well under
stood tha. Great Britain was the only
country in a position to accept the COM
mercial advantages thus offered by Can
ada, but it was strongly contended by the
opposition that the new tariff would be
ineffective even in the case OF Great
Britain, owing 10 the existence Of the
most favored nation" treaties between
England. Germany and Belgium. Now
this last obstacle is removed.

Start for the Goldfie lds.

SEATTLE, VASE, July 81. - The
Rosalie, one OF the sound steamers for
merly plying between here and Victoria,
left this evening at O'Clock for Skaguay
with a passenger list of 146, largely from
Seattle. These passengers are the best
equipped crowd which has yet started fol
the Klondyke. There were few OF the
passengers who had outfits of less than
500 pounds in weight, and the great ma
jority exceeded 1000 pounds.
The steamer Edith sailed this morning
for Skaguay, with cargo of sixty-eigh
horses. nearly all belonging TO the passen
gers on the Rosalie. The two steamer.
belong to a new company organized within
the past ten days. Among the irelght on
he Rosalie there were forty boats
knocked down, but ready to put together
when the pass is crossed, in which the
adventuzers prepare to descend the
Yukon.
The city is losing some of its prominen!
citizens in the present Klondye craze.
Ex-Governor McGraw, the Republican
leader of the county and the State, has
already gone; the Mayor of the city, w
D. Wood, it appears, has rendered his
resignation in order to take the same
nap, and otner prominent men will fol-
low.
Among the passengers on the Viii
Iamette leaving Tuesday will be ]. G.
Scurry, at one time one OF the wealthiesl
men in the C ty, whose residence here
cost about $3.50, 600; E. L. Terry, for many
years teller in the Puget Sound Nationa
Bank, who had an inherited fortune in
foh h1 ILo,
times" commenced WAS estimated to be
worth $150000, and three associates.
They have seventeen pack horses, two
boats already built, and will carry in four
tons of provisions
The resignation OF Mayor Wood will re-
suit in lively fight over his successor.
Mr.. Wood is a very prominent church
worker and temperance man and his ad-
ministration has strongly reflected his
views.
There is a very decided opinion among
business men here that in view of the
heavy influx of persons going to the min
ing districts of tie North and the pros
pectiye return to the city within a few
weeks of a very large number OF miners
who have accumulated considera BILE
money, the time is ripe for somewhat of a
relaxation OF the rigid Puritanism which
has been seen here for the past year.
They will advocate the election by the
council OF a Mayor who will permit
things" to be run a little wide open,"
SO that the miners cBn have little fun for
their money when they strike civilization.

TO PROVIDE SHELTER.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 31.-A serious
question for the Kondyke argonauts is
shelter. In the mad rush for the gold
fields little attention has been paid to the
matter, and many hundreds of pioneers
vii find themselves in bleak regions with
plenty of money and victuals but insutfi-
cient protection from the 'cold. With the
arrival of parties lately gone to the Yu-
kon there will be an immense demand for
houses. Within week negotiations have
been conducted between parties in San
Francisco and this city for the shipment
Of entire houses to the gold region.
Houses are to be constructed in sections,
so they may be carried easily in boats up
the Yukon or picked on sleds and carried
through the rough country in baggage
trains. = New York firm which makes
speciality of such houses has received or
ders Tor as many as can be sent.
"The demand for houses in the Klon-
dyke is going to create big boom for our
trade, /" said a representative of the firm.

work and make as many houses as possi-
bic. A number will be sent overland as

it by way of Cape Horn around to Seattle,
where it will arrive in time for the spring
immigration. Other vessels will doubt
less follow, so we shall have as much work
as we can turn out TO supply the gold
hunters with shelter. My advice to car
penters and house builders out of employ
ment would be to go to the gold regions
with plentiful stock of tools. and if they
don't strike gold in the ground they will
find remunerative work at their trades.''

ounces of pure gold. A piece OF ore nearly
all gold was also brought down from the
mine that weighs 36 ounces.
One OF the prospectors, Robb Laird, who
is liking the gold to Duluth, says the
blast uncovered ore fully as rich as his
samples.

Peculiar Consequences to Follow
the LapsinR Of the Most Fa-

fcopyrighsed, 1897, by the New York SUM-

LONDON, Eng, July Sit is difficult
to exaggerate the importance of the ac-
tion of the British Government in de-
nouncing the existing commercial treaties
with Germany and Belgium. 1t is the
first official act toward the execution of
the radically new policy of the so-called
consolidation British empire. AS such it
marks a new departure which cannot fail
to have far-reaching effects upon the
worlds commerce.
Germany sees in it also an official ex.
preston of unfriendliness which has been
growing more marked for nearly two
years. That there Will be reprIsals still
further emblttering the Anglo German
relations is also foregone conclusion,
and it is impossible to estimate the uiti-
mate effects OF Salisbury's action in
this direction. Germany is already at
tempting to couple e notice of the abro-
cation of the treaty with Goschen's an
nouncement of the laying down of four
new baltleships. It's assumed in Berlin
that the British Government has deiiber-
ately adopted an offensive policy again st
Germany, and it is resented accordingly.
The chief practical effect of canceIing
the treaty will be tue lapsing of the most
favored nation clause in all agreements
between the two countries. Germany is
thus at liberty to engage in an open tariff
war against Great Britain if she chooses.
The London press argues that little will
be done in this direction, because the con-
sequences would be worse 10 Germans
than 10 Englishmen. Newspapers of both
parties are practically unani imous upon
this point and also in approval of the de-
nunciation of the treaty. Unfriendly SEN
timents have been most openly expressed
in the German press recently, but now
London is Ieciprocating with interest.

PROSPECT SMALL STREAMS
That Is the Advice OF General Duff
field to G Gold- Sc ekers in
Alaska


WASHINGTON, u. c., July 31.-Gen-
eral Dutfield of the Coast and Gaodetic
Survey said 10 THE CALL correspondent
to-day: ''The Klondyke gold has been
ground out of lhe quartz by the pressure
of the glaciers, which lie and move along
the courses OF the streams, exerting a
tremendous pressure. This force is pres
ent to more appreciable extent in Alaska
than elsewhere, and | believe that as a
consequences more placer gold will be
found IN that region than in any other
part of the world"
General Duffield thinks the gold hunters
on the American side OF the line have
made the mistake of prospecting the
large streams instead of the small ones
when gold is precipitated he said,
''it sinks; itdoes not float far down stream.
1t is therefore to be looked for along the
small creeks and about the head waters Of
the larger tributaries of the Yukon. There
is, he added, mo reason why as rich
finds may not be made on the American
side of the line as in the Klondyke dis
trict''
