CATION opened, about seven weeks ago.
The Yukon freezes in September, so that
navigation lasts hardly three months.
The Excelsior, which leaves here on the
18th INST, will be the last steamer of the
Alaska Commercial Company from here
to connect with boats going up the river.
The other company expects TO get the
Portland back to Seattle for one more trip.
The season for travel by the Juneau route
is as brief. 1t begins when the lakes and
streams tributary TO the Yukon are free
enough from ice to permit of boating and
rafting for the 600 miles or so down to the
diggings and il closes early in Septem Der.
When boats cannot be thus used it is
long and perilous tramp of 800 miles,
which is rarely taken.
Thus those who 60 in by the Juneau
route this year must get over the pass, get
their boats built and make the trip within
six or seven weeks.
Com paralively few realize the magnif-
cent distances involved in the trip. By
the river route it IS 1850 miles, the main
distances being as follows:
To st. Michael. 1850
To Circle City y..........................4 1880
To Forty MiIe....................'... 1900
To Klondyke ...........................4 1850
To Juneau the distance from San Fran
cisco is 1850 miles. The distances from
there TO the principal points are as

Prevents Greece From Saving Cretans
Only Through Love of Former.

St. Petersburg, March 5.-The Journal
semi-officially makes statement In
effect that the Russian imperial cabinet
is animated by ardent desire to further
the work of paoitication and in that
spirit took the initiative in proposing the
plan formulated in the Identical notes
of the Powers to Turkey and Gresce.
The paper In conclusion says:
'sThere is reason to hope that further
difficulties will not arise ana that Greece
will prove her wisdom by bending TO the
mighty will of united Europe. In the
common interests Of peace and legality
Greece cannot desire to endanger her fu-
ture by acts of folly. The Greeks may
be happy in the knowledge that their
kinsmen in Crete will In the future 9 n
joy local autonomy. Russia, which has
ever had interests of the Christian people
of the east at heart. will regard the sug-
aested solution with satisfaction, all the
greater seeing 1t Is in harmony with her
desire for universal peace and is In the
spirit OF equity, by which imperial gov
erp r,ent is constantly inspired.

NO SUGGESTION OF OPPOSITION.
Mr. Reed Will Be Speaker of the Mex
House.

Washington, March 5.-As far as can be
learned the officials of the late House
will be renominated by the Republican
caucus without opposition. 1t was report
ed several weeks ago that the Illinois
delegation would present candidate for
sergeant-at-arms in opposition to Mr
Russell, but the purpose seems to have
been abandoned There has been no
suggestion of candidate in opposition
to Mr.. Resd.
The Democratic caucus will be held
the 10Th, 1T is expected. There are three
candidates for the speakership, Messrs.
Richardson and MoMillin OF tennessee,
and Bailey of Texas. The nomination
will be only an empty honor, but Will
probably carry with it the leadership OF
that party.
