to run with all his might for a quarter of

just as he catches on behind, to have the
wagon turn abruptly down a side street,

Patriotism ca of Tariff.

Richmond Dispatch.
A sublime example of the patriot
ism CD and the impudence of the
high tariff devotees is the petition of
the New York commission merchants
relative to the duty on onions and
potatoes. The biggest and most
heartless trust in the country has
not, in it's demands made a more
shameless proposition. These New
York commission merchants ask for
a tariff OF Is per cent. on potatoes
and 20 per cent. on onions for nine
months of each year, and for free
potatoes and free onions during the
other three months-March, April,
and May.
The explanation of this is that dur
ing the three months named the
Northern States market no onions
or potatoes, but get their supplies
from the Bermudas, the Bahamas,
and other West Indian islands, or
from the South. An enforcement OF
the tariff tor nine mouths would pro-
tect the northern farmers, but these
farmers would lose nothing by a
suspension of duties during the other
three mouths, wien the southern
potato and onion crops are being
marketed. At the same time, the
latter crops would be brought into
competition with foreign ''pauper
potatoes and onions"

WINTER NOVELTIES.
Bronze Boots to Be Observation-Disclosures,
Threatened Again.

Moire hats are the latest millinery de-
velopment, and they are nowhere near as
pretty or becoming as velvet ones.
Velvet chrysanthemums are being very
much worn In the yellow, copper and
red shades they are particularly attractive
1t is said that bronze boots will be re-
vived again for wear with elaborate day
costumes. Demitrains are also threatened
for visiting gowns-indeed have already
appeared in a few cases-but they may not
succeed in capturing fashionable fancy, as
they are not old enough to be new again
yet
The long coas has appeared in force and
is often SO composed to give almost the

Furnishing a Window.

Artistic bangings for windows may
be made by placing a piece of fretwork
across the upper pane of the window
and from it hang deep ruff1e of dotted
madras or lace of any pretty design. A
contributor to the New York Tribune
who makes this suggestion adds:
a comfortable window divan may be
easily made by mailing a wooden seat
of good width along the window sill.
This should be upholstered in a color
which will harmonic with the other

person of any class would want to do so.
A much more sensible innovation Is the
flannel shirt waist for women. The waists
are of plain or patterned washable flannel
and are supplied with white linen collar

full the trimness and comfort of the shirt
waist in summer, and many wear 1t in the
winter when busy In the house, because
it is SO neat and easily kept fresh Cam

PORTLAND DUE TO-DAY.
Every Tug Boat in Puget Sound Has
Gone Out to Meet Her

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. 26.-The
steamer Portland is due from st. Mich
aeIs, Alaska, today, and for many days
speculation has been rife as to the
amount of gold she will bring down
from the Klondike fields. The arrival
of the schooner Fred E. Sanders and
J. NJ. Colman from st. Michaels early
this morning encoura ges the belief that
the Portland will not bring large treas
ure on the present trip.
James McNamee, a passenger on the
schooner F. E. Sanders, who has been
in Alaska four years and on the Klon-
dixie for one year, expresses the Opin-
ion that not more than two million dol
lars has been taken out of the entire
gold district during the past II months
Every available tug boat on Puget
Sound has been pressed into service by
various newspapers and the race from
Straits of Fuca to the nearest telegraph
station will be an exciting one. The
weather down the straits is very thick
this morning and Portland can easily
slip in without being sighted.

$e,ooo,ooo NEXT YEAR.
This is the Estimate on Klondike by
Returned Prospector.

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. 26.-The
schooner Fred E. Sanders arrived ear
ly this morning, 80 days from st. Mich
aels, Alaska, with six passengers from
Klondike country. They are: J. S.
Dinsmore, we'll known merchant of
Eureka, Cal; Charles Vest of Portland,
Ore; James McNamee, Juneau; ].
Lowe, a well known miner of Puget
Sound, and Henry Ash and wife of
Dawson City.
Only three of the number have been
engaged in mining, but all are much
pleased with their prospect and intend
to return in the spring. The total
amount of nuggets brought by Sanders
is about s5O,000. James McNamee of
Juneau, who is on his way to Bartlett
Springs, Cal, probably made the luck
lest strike among them. He took from
his IA claims s137,0O0. but reinvested
most of it.
Mr.. McNamee said:
Il went to Alaska about four years
ago, but only went to KlOndike one
year ago. There are about $500 people
in Klondike district, and unless the
Yukon steamers make another trip this
year, there will be a shortage of pro-
visions at Dawson. The reports of
rich strikes on the Stewart river are
untrue. Bars pan out well, but no big
strikes have been made there during
the last II months. 1 think the entire
K1ondike district has not produced to
exceed two million dollars. If we could
nave secured men to work our claims.
more would have been taken out, but
although wages are SIS per day, men
desired to prospect for themselves. If
we get men next season, 1 believe the
district will produce eight million dol
lars
Joseph Lowe, an old miner of Puget
Sound, brought down enough to get
back on" as he termed it. His claims
are near Circle City and he says prom
ise well. He states that Minook creek,
250 miles below Circle City, in Ameri-
can territory, has been attracting some
attention. Several claims which have

STILL FOR BRYAN.
New York Democrats Not so Loud
for Free Silver, However.

New York, Aug. 26-EIliott Dan
forth, chairman of the Democratic state
committee is quoted in a recent inter-
view as saying that the recent fall in
the price of silver and the rise in the
price of wheat had somewhat damp
ened the enthusiasm of free silver men
of this city and state.
1.-The sentiment in favor of an indorse-
ment of the Chicago platform by the
Democratic state committee and by the
Democratic city convention does not
seem to be so strong as it was a few
weeks ago. he said.
The fall in silver and the rise in the
price of wheat have apparently had
some effect. / do not mean that the
action of the state committee will be
affected by these circumstances but
there seems to- be no doubt that the
course of the silver and wheat markets
lately has influenced some men. In
fact, there is a noticeable change in the
situation, in this locality, anyhow
Whether the Democrats up the state
have been much influenced, I do not
know, but / do know that they are not
disposed to push the free silver issue
to the front at the meeting of the state
committee if the Democratic OrganiZa-
ions of Greater New York decide that
it would be the wisest to confine the
campaign to local and state issues I
suppose that most of the country con-
ventionS in the interior of the state will
indorse the Chicago platform, but the
leaders up there tell me that they rec
ognize the great Importance of Demo-
cratic success IN OredleF New YORK this
year and will not do anything to pre-
vent it. They are willing, it appears,
to let the Greater New York members
of the state committee arrange the pro-
gramne for the meeting of the commit
tee.
Il made the trip through the state
lately, and I found that many of those
who are loudest in their demands for
an Endorsement of the Chicago platform
care more for what 1 might call Bry-
aniSm than for free silver. That is
they like Bryan and what he represents
generally and are not particularly de-
voted to the free silver cause

CoMING ON THE PORTLAND.
$2.ooo,oo0 in Dust was Put Aboard
at Dawson

Victoria, B.. c., Aug. 26.-More good
news has come from the K1ondike by
the steamer City of Topeka, which ar
rived last night, leaving Juneau just
after the arrival there of Joe Birch,
James Mckay and Archie Shelp, who
made the trip from Dawson TO Dyea in
20 days. They did not come any fur
ther than Juneau, but intend to go
back to the mines. They had pretty
rough trip, having to paddle and tow
their boat up rivers. Shelp was san
guine of the prospects along the Stew
art and Indian rivers.
From $40 to SIS per pan is being taken
out of these rivers. Close upon 81, 000,-
600 in dust had gone down on the river
steamers from the Klondike, the own
ers intending to take the steamer Port
land at St. Michaels. Gold passed at
S17 an ounce at Dawson City. Shelp
gives the list of Juneau men who have
struck it rich, with their profits to date:
Dick Law, 100000; J. Smith, $4,000,
Oscar AShby and w. Leake refused
$780, 900 for their claims; J. Brant, $50, 900;
Cornelius Edwards, $25,000; - Whip
pie, $4,000; Harry Ash, who left on the
last boat for San Francisco. $100. 600; an
old man who few months ago was
cutting wood around Juneau, $50, 900.
About a dozen men who went north
within the last few weeks intending to
go to the mines came back on the To-
peka and they say many will follow
them home.
