Would be gold miners should count
in the frozen soils of Alaska. Gold at the
headwateIs OF the Yukon is a different
matter from gold in the sunny and fruit
full valleys whele the 49ers wrestled
with fortune. The klondyke diggings
are in a remote Arctic waste, where win
ter lasts nine months, and the soil wi |
nearly a thousand miles is necessary after
leaving the coast, with much tramping
over mountains where nothing but trail
exists. All food must be transported to
the mines, and at present Consists chiefly
of bacon and beans Mosquitoes are a
terrible pest all through Alaska. They
kill even the bears after binding them.
The gold is more deeply covered than was
the case in California, and the depth to
which the ground is frozen greatly adds
to the labor of getting down to the gold
bearing stratum. A miner must spend
several hundred dollars before reaching
the diggings, and only few months in
the year are available for travel and min
ing operations. A robust man with
capital of 81 900 might make the trip with
reasonable precaution, and even he, in
most cases, would live to regret having
cut loose from the comforts and oppor-
tunites of his former home.

Chairman Dingley's plan of dealing
with the sugar trust is bold and startling,
whether OF not it would be effective.
THE way to break down the trust,' he
says, is to establish beet sugar factory
IN every Congressional district and make
competition
When the fact is considered that there
are great many Congressional districts
in which sugar beets cannot be grown
proftably, the idea of establishing beet
sugar factories in such districts does
seem rather startling. 1t reminds us of
bill introduced in Congress by Georgia
preventative, making an appropriation
Of SO, eco to improve the navigation of a
certain river. Another member moved to
amend by appropriating 500 to put
water in said river after the distractions
to navigation had been removed.

In Memoriam.

We are again called upon to mourn the
loss of one of the dear friends of the Girls
Home, Miss Jennie E. Lambert of Stockton
Springs, passed on to the higher life in the
early days of May, rejoicing in a hope that
never faltered, and loyalty to the Father 8
will that made the dark passage beautiful
with it's vision into the hereafter.
Miss Lambert will be remembered as one
who came with our Stockton friends to cele-
brate the opening of the Girls Home. She
was so impressed with the benefcence of
the work, that she Immediately went about
getting money to furnish room, which was
quickly secured, and the beautiful room in
gold and white, known as the Stockton
room, will long be associated with her
memory.

Europe is practically united in limiting
the results of the late Turkish conquest,
says Harper's Weekly. The Sultan has
detied Europe to take from him what he
holds by the sword, and has even tainted
her with her impotence. If all Europe,
he scornfully said, could not prevent
Greek colonel from coming to the as
sistance of the Cretan insurgents, how
does Europe expect to turn 10000 Turk
ish troops out of Thessaly? Indeed, the
problem is not easy, but the real question
is about the determination of Europe
Where there is will there is way
Russia would without doubt undertake
the work at price, and the price would
be the possession of Constantinople. The
Sultan has been very confident that the
other powers would not permit the price
to be paid But he should not make too
sure of that. 1t is possible that compen-
sation might be found for the powers in
clined to object which would silence their
objections, and certain that in that case
the compensations would all be made at
his expense. Apparently it is by medi-
tating upon this contingency that he has
at last ceased his defiance. and after a
month or more of buster has told his
ministers that he is quite sure Europe
means nothing but Turkeys good But
although this may be merely device to
gain time it is reasonably certain that he
will at last evacuate Thessaly, and rest
content with a strategical realignment of
the frontier.

has addressed another note to the Pc

Victor H. McCord, an American citi-

Wan officers while in charge Of rail
roads in that country during a rebel
lion.
The present Peruvian Minister came
to this country with the expressed pur-
pose of settling this claim, and has re-
peatedly sought to get the State De-
partment to reopen the investigation of
the facts in the case. The Depart
ment, however declined to do this. be-
ing satisfied with the presentation of
the case made through its own Minis

the strong notes.
1T is held that nothing now remains

the remaining three jurors, that death
resulted from gunshot wound infiict

zEIGLER OUT IN FIRST ROUND.
FAMOUS ssSOLAR PLEXIS" BLOW
DOES THE WORK.
Green Lands a Vicious Left on the
Stomach and It Was OFF With
the Philadelphian.

WOODWARD'S PAVILION, SAN
FRANCISCO, Nov 1O.-George Green
of San Francisco knocked out Owen
Zeigler of Philadelphia in the first round
tonight. 1t was the now famous
solar plexis" blow, with which Fitz-
simmons knocked out Corbett, which
did the work.
The round opened with Green forcing
the pace. After several exchanges, in
which honors were even, Green forced
Zeigler to corner. and swung viciously
with his left for the stomach. The blow
landed clean and strong. For a mo-
ment Zeigler swayed forward, and then
staggered to the corner, and went down
gradually to his knees and then to his
face. He was deathly pale, and groaned
as if in great agony
Referee Joe Choynski began counting,
and had reached five, when Zeigler
made desperate effort to come to his
feet. The effort was too much for him,
however, and after grasping the ropes
and pulling himself to his knees, he col
lapsed and fell on his face and was
counted out
He was carried to his corner, where
his seconds worked on him for five
minutes before he was able to stand, the
crowd of 5000 spectators remaining
seated in the meanwhile. Zeigler finally
recovered, and stood up, looking about
in some bewilderment
The big crowd could hardly realize
that the fight was over, SO abrupt was
the ending, but to those who saw the
blow delivered, the effect was not sur
prising. 1t was clean full arm swing
delivered on a vital spot.
After being taken to his dressing room
Zeigler was interviewed by an Asso-
ciated Press reporter, and said that he
felt strong, but that when he got the
blow he simply could not recover his
breath
1t is the first time was ever knocked
out" said Zeigler, .'and / feel very sore
