AT the rate the Alaska stories of
gold finds are coming ins they are
enough to unsettle peoples minds
altogether; yet it is not wise to
yield to the seductive allurements
of speedy and certain wealth.
Those who can get along at home
had better stay; for Alaska is a
harsh country to get along in, the
winters are longer and colder than
any one accustomed only to this
latitude has any idea of, and above
all, the rule must hold good there
as elsewhere, that it is the few Who
succeed, and we hear all about
these; the many who fail are not
heard of. We have no doubt but
the sufferings up there the coming
winter will be severe, possibly disas-
trous. Our advice is, that none
should 60 save those who are foot
loose, who understand mining and
who are healthy, strong and used

The Probable New Premier Talks of
His Party's Policy.


New York, June 6, 2;So a. m.-The World
this morning prints a dispatch from Mad
rid giving an interview with Senior Sa-
gasta, leader of the Spanish liberals.
I'VE would be more liberal in every
sense than the conservative party can af-
ford to be-" said Senor Sagasta. 1--WE
would not hesitate to go much further than
Senior Canovas has gone in the way of a
home rule policy for the West Indies in
order to insure the loyalty and friendship
of the colonies there.
''Our policy would entail a change in
the supreme direction of Cuban affairs,
of course. The removal of Gen. Weyler
would be immediate and the present policy
of excessive severity and depression would
be abandoned, for that system is not cal
cuiated to improve the prospects of paci-
fication which we earnestly desire
In regard to the relations between
Spain and the United States 1 am not
acquainted with what has passed recently
between the Spanish and American gov
ernments. l have no reason to suppose
that international considerations or pres
sure Influenced the decision of Senior Ca
novas to resign. The liberal party wishes
to maintain and improve the cordial rela-
tions with the United States. and hopes it's
colonial policy would help to do so.
But neither the liberal party nor any
other Spanish party could tolerate a sug-
gestion of infringing on the rights of
Spain, or implying the Interference of
foreign powers in her relations with her
colonies. The liberal party would be as
jealous as the conservatives in defense of
the supremacy of Spain in Cuba and Porto
Rico"

that the recall of Gen. Weyler is expedi-
ent for both the pacihcation Of Cuba and

wEYLER TALKS OF THE WAR.
He Says 1t VIII End in a short Time,
But Fixes No Date.

Havana, June 5-The correspondent of
the Associated Press was granted an ex-
elusive interview by Capt. Gen. Weyler
upon the latter's return to Havana from
the scene of military operations.
Upon being questioned regarding af-
fairs in the island, Gen. Weyler said the
war would be ended in a short time, but
just how soon ne could not say, as its
termination depended entirely on circum-
stances.
Gen. Weyler apparently ignored the ef-
feet produced upon the situation in Cuba
by the ministerial crisis in Madrid, SEEM
ing to consider the cabinet difficulties as
of little Importance. He regards the ru-
mors of his recall as without foundation.
He refused to speak with reference to
the effect of the attitude of the United
States on continuance of friendly rela-
tons between that country and Spain,
further than to say that he thinks these
relations will continue, as the United
States has much TO lose in Cuba, and that
in case of conflchbetween the two coun-
tries, she would lose\ more than Spain.
He regards the latest military operations
in the island as highly important. Small
groups of insurgents, he said, remain upon
either side of the Jucaro-M Moron trocha,
but they are unable to communicate with
each other and are suffering severely in
consequence.
Gen. Weyler said that he had found no
native Americans in destitute condition
anywhere in the island. He has ordered
an allotment of land to all applicants re-
gardless of nationality. He declares that
if destitution exists it is due to the war.
He asserts that he cares little for the per-
sonal attacks made upon himself by the
revolutonists, and declares that they prove
the poor state to which the insurrection-
iStS are reduced

AUSTRIA AND OUR TARIFF.
A Protest From Her Minister sent TO
the Senate,


Washington. June 5--Secretary Sherman
to-day sent to the Senate a protest from
Baron Hengelmuller. the Austrian minis
ter, against the discriminating duty on
sugar in the tariff bill. The minister says
that he has been instructed to protest
against the provision. His note OF pro-
test was sent to the Secretary of State
mittee has reported the bill, and he asks
that his protest be sent to the Senate.
In his note Baron Hengelmuller says
that the discriminating duty conflicts ION
one hand with our right of the most faV-
ored nation treatment, and on the other
threatens to heavily damage Austro-Hun
garian exports"
The minister calls attention to the for
mer correspondence on the subject regard
ing the tariff of 1894, and say that the
United States then recognized the rights
OF the Austrian government to protest
against the additional duty levied against
the export bounty, as appears In the re-
port of Secretary Gresham to the Presi-
dent oct. 12. 1894, and that the President
in December, 1894, recommended to con-
gress the repeal of the additional duty.
The minister says the pending bill has
much greater increase of the discrimlnat-
ing duty on sugar and threatens the trade
of Austria with the United States with
new injury. The Austrian government
calls the attention of the federal govern
ment to the proposed infringement of
treaty obligations and expresses the hope
that the government will enllghten con-
gress upon the existing treaty obligations
and prevent the proposed increase,
against which the imperial government
must protest should 1t become a law"

Macon. Ca, June 5-The movement
which has been under way for the past
two months TO have the alleged violation
of the constitution of the state by the

Judge Speer for a receiver for the South
ern railway, with all of its branches, with
the possible exception Of the Southwest

Business men of this city have raised a

Southern Railway Company is daily vio-

ing or controlling competing lines in the
state to the detriment of the business in
terests of the subscribers to the fund in
particular, and the people OF Macon and
the state in general. Bacon, Miller Sc
Brunson and Dessau, Bartlett & Ellis
have been retained TO fight the case. The
attorneys held a conference with some of
the plaintiffs, and the preparation of the
petition was az once commenced. A petl-
ton Is being prepared at the Office OF Ba-
con, Miller q Brunson, and It
may be Tuesday before 1t is
completed. Recent discussion Of this
matter by the newspapers In this city
possibly hastened this action In order 10

that he would not have any jurors ap-
