The ALASKA GOLD FIELDS.
An Associated Press Correspondent De
scribes the Situation.

An Associated Press Correspondent De-
scribes the Situation.
H. N. Stanley, correspondent who
was sent to Alaska sometime ago by the
Associated Press to investigate the sit
uation, returned on lust Sunday to
Seattle, Washington, and tells his story
as follows:
l have been for seven weeks at the
mouth of the Yukon, at st. Michael's,
where I saw all the miners coming out
and interviewed them. AS result l
feel it my duty to advise everybody to
stay out until next spring. Wild, and,
in many cases exaggerated, reports
have been circulated since the first dis
coveries were made. The strike, how
ever, was and is one of the greatest, il
not the greatest, in the worlds history.
Probably $2,000,0O0 was cleaned up
this spring, and next spring look for
from S5,OOO,OOO to 100000. The
fields have hardly been opened up as
yet; but those going in now must bear
in mind that everything in that region
was staked out long before any reports
reached the outer world, and later
corners must prospect for themselves,
buy claims from the present owners or
work for the owners. No new strike
had been reported up to the time of
my leaving, and another may not be
made for five years, although Alaska
is an enormous country and will yet, l
believe, produce more gold than we
dreamed of. But it is also in many
ways a bleak, barren, desolate coun-
try, a country incapable of supporting
any great amount of animal life, and
a country of such rigorous climate,
both winter and spring, that none but
the most hardy can possibly live in it.
Even they must have an abundance of
food and warm clothing.
There is a popular impression that
supplies can be bought in the vicinity
of the mines. They may at present
be purchased at six times the Seattle
prices but they are taken at even those
figures faster than they can be gotten,
and before winter is half over, if the
present population remains, there will
be actual starvation. The average
man requires about one ton of care
fully selected food and clothing for
years supply. In the summer of 1896
about $500 tons of supplies went up
the river, and the new population Of
l 800 to 1000 suffered from want. Of
this $500 tons, probably 1900 tons
were rum, tools, furniture and sup
plies other than provisions. This sea-

PRETTY OFTEN FoRGOTTEN.-We
are sorry to see that Senator Tillman,
of South Carolina, who is speaking in
the north, does not like the Chicago
newspaper reporters. They must not
have treated him right. Ordinarily
he is exceedingly courteous to the
newspaper men. 1t is recalled that
when he got up to speak before a large
crowd in Concord, our neighboring
town, about two years ago, the first
thing he did was to ask if proper pro-
vision had been make for the report
ers. He had sense enough to know
that the number of people whom he
would reach that day with his voice
was insignificant compared with the
number the reporters would reach the
next day through their newspapers.
1t is a mark of the greatest men in
public life, at Washington and else
where, that they are considerate of the
reporters, and the fraternity ought al
ways to remember with gratitude that
President Mckinley, on his recent tour
of the south, when it was said that the
reporters who were with him could
not 60 upon the Vanderbilt property,
replied that then he would not 60,

Platoff.
Maurice seized the rag from the
platform and at his bidding held it to
the soldiers face.
"There, that will do" said Platof,
and he laid his burden quietly down.
He turned to Maurice, his face white
and ghastly in the lanplight. If they
discover us now, we will be shot," he
gasped. "Tear off your clothes, quick!
Don't lose second! There is but one
chance left to us. We must try it."
"What do yon nlean?" demanded
Maurice in bewilderment.

pointing to the unconscious soldier.

The DUKE Of WELLINGTON AT HOME.

In Dean Holes Memories" are re-
lated several anecdotes of the Duke of
Wellington, the first of which shows
that he had the modesty common
among great men, that is unconscious,
of his own greatness.
He met lady who was going up
the steps to see the model of Waterloo,
and remarked to her:
"Ah, you're going to see Waterloo.
It's very good was there, you
know"
A bishop was once preaching in the
Chapel Royal of St. James, when he
was much perplexed by the conduct of
the verger, who at the close of the
sermon opened the door of the pulpit
and suddenly closed it with all his
force, so that the noise rang through
the building.
"He informed me in a Whisper" re-
ports the bishop, "that his Grace the
Duke of Wellington was asleep and
that, not liking TO touch him, they
adopted this method of rousing him
from his slumbers." This ingenious
stimulation of a bombardment never
failed to stir the old warrior.
Wellington left behind him three
memorable sentences. Education
without religion would surround US
with clever devils" To verger who
pushed aside poor man who was 60
ing up before him to the altar, with
the words, "Make way for his Grace
the Duke of Wellington" he said,
"Not so; we are equal here" And
when young clergyman was speak
ing in disparagement of foreign mis-
sions, he rebuked him with
"Sir, you forget your marching or
ders, go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature

son, allowing for the most favorable
circumstances, not more than 4,200
tons of supplies can be carried up the
river, and fully one-half of this is rum
and tools, as we'll as supplies other
than food. There are more thar three
times as many people there than last
winter. Figure it out for yourself.
Grub was completely cleaned out
this spring, and last winter there was
such scarcity that moose hams sold
for $50 each, -four Sl20 per hundred,
bacon 81 per pound. What will hap
pen this winter? Why should not peo-
pie starve to death this winter?
As to shelter, 80 per cent. of Daw-
son was living in tents in July, labor
is scarce and houses cannot be built.
AS to labor, it is true that last win
ter, the winter succeeding the great
"strike," when men were scarce, wages
were SIS day, but if no new strike is
made, what is to keep wages up this
winter? There are about $40 claims
on Bonanza, Eldorado and Hunker
creeks that will probably be worked
this winter, an average of eight men
to each, is I think, liberal. If but q:
700 men are employed and there are
5000 or more seeking work, what
must be the result? Wages must 60
down. am told that much grub has
gone over the divide, yet from what I
know I would wager my last dollar
that not to exceed 500 tons of supplies
over and above what is already there,
has been carried.
I am also told that there is plenty at
St. Michaels. So there may be; but
after September Is it might as well be
in New York city, for to try to trans
port it by dog train or sled over 1000
miles of ice or river, is absolutely i'm
possible. There is not, nor will there
ever be, dog train that can take in
enough to feed itself over 1000 miles.
Relief is, therefore, impossible. Over
the divide in winter would be quite as
difficult; to draw provisions for the
trip from Dyea to Dawson anytime
before the spring breaks up is ippos-
sible. Relief for those caught in the
Klondike after winter sets in is equal
ly impossible, so in the name of hu-
manity I ask that stop be put to this
wholesale transportation Of people
without supplies. Let no man be al
lowed to enter that region unless he
carries with him enough food and
clothing to last him year.
There are women and little children
in there today who should be sent as
far as St. Michaels before navigation
closes. hear much of the boats that
are being built to 60 up the river; but
aside from one steamer on August II,
no new boat can be added to the car
rying craft this fall. The Klondike is
bad land of ice and snow as well as
a land of gold.

TILLMAN ON IRBY.
Does Not Believe That He Was Cheat
ed In,

Does Not Believe That He Was Cheat
Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman
came to Troy tonight, says a dis
patch of August 20 to the New York
Sun. Tomorrow afternoon, at the fair
grounds, he will make speech under
the auspices of the Patrons of Amer
lea and the Bimetallic League of Troy
and Albany. When the South Caro-
linian walked into the Troy house he
was a tired man but fash of fire
appeared in his right eye when asked
whether he had read The Suns story
about what ex-senator Irby had said
in a recent stump speech in Manning,
s. G. In that speech Irby declared
that Tillman had been made governor
by d Justification of the preliminary
vote.
"Well," said the senator, as he drop,
ped into the nearest seat, $50 far as
know there was no cheating. The
proceedings of the convention, as far
as my knowledge goes, were entirely
regular. Why, Irby and l have talk
ed about the matter time and time
again. The chairman of the conven.
ton was friendly to my interests. He
influenced the change in votes on the
second ballot which carried the nomi.
nation by one vote. If there was any
fraud, I don't know anything about it.
I was not there. I do not believe that
II was cheated in.' Irby is a shap
politician and likes to talk"
"What do you think of the tactics
being pursued by Irby ?"
"Well, suppose they are consider.
ed good politics. AS I said before,
Irby is a very shrewd man."
"What show does he stand of get.
ting the senatorial indorsement?" was
asked.
"Oh, as for that" replied the sena.
tor dryly, "why, really, I don't care to
express any opinion. 1rby is sharp
very sharp"
"But do you think he will carry the
primary next Tuesday?"
The senator looked up at the big
clock ticking away on the wall, hum
med bar or two of the "El Captain
march, and then said:
"Oh, l don't know. Just watch the
primary. The man who captures ii
will 20 to the United States senate,
The legislature is bound to carry out
the will of the people thus expressed"
"What do you care to say about
Irby's statement that he matched
you?'"
"That's all talk" answered the sen.
ator, somewhat contemptuously
"Hatch me, indeed"
"Irby says that he originated the
March convention year back to give
YOU the nomination on a silver waiter
$50 see. Why, that March affair
wasn't convention it was merely a
caucus of Democratic factions. AT
the time there was some doubt as to
the wisdom of the nomination. In
fact, there was considerable feeling on
the matter. Now as to Irby's relation
to me politically. Irby has always
been smart politician. think I said
that before. He proved an excellent
lieutenant to me. He takes great
deal upon himself when he says he
made me-" said the senator, with a
merry laugh.

New York, Oct. 2-The marked
strength in stocks, which developed IN

this morning in full force and contin-
ued with only one momentary pause
from the opening until the close Of the
short session. The buying was eager
and the covering of short contracts put

the market appeared to be urgent. There
was every indication that the reaction
had run it's course and the agents en-
ployed by the leaders of the former bull

The stocks that have shown the sharp
est declines recently were foremost in
the recovery. Prices of Americans were

STORY OF A NEWSPAPER DEAL
How Hoke Smith Ousted Capt. Howell
From the Constitution.
(From the Savannah News.)


Atlanta, Sept. 29.-The inside de-
tails of the recent retirement of Capt.
E. Z. Howell from the helm of the At
lanta Constitution have at last leaked
out.
In the disclosure ex-Seretary Hoke
Smith, owner of the Evening Journal,
and the implacable enemy of Capt.
Howell, is brought to the front, not
only as one of the instrumentalities that
caused his retirement, but as the actual
purchaser of part of his stock. Natur-
ally, the announcement that Mr.. Smith
is now the holder of fifty shares of Con-
stitution stock caused considerable Cos
sip. The Constitution and Journal, up
to the withdrawal of Capt. Howell,
fought each other relentIessly in poll
ties and business. Since the change in
the Constitution stockholders list there
has been u noticeable change in the atti-
tudetude of the two papers, but the
public never guessed the cause of this
change of front.
Now that Mr.. Smiths interest in the
morning paper has been proclaimed,
there is all kinds of talk about ultimate
changes in editorial management and
revolutions IN political policies. Some
confidently predict that it is but ques-
ton of time when the Constitution will
he brought around into the sound money
column. The others declare there is no
probability of this, for business reasons.
The story of the manner in which
Capt. Howell got out of the Constitution
aud Mr.. Smith got in is briefly this:
When the Constitution lost its news
franchise through the collapse of the
Southern Associated Press, the Associat-
ed Press, through Mr.. Smith, put such
eXacting conditions ON the Constitution
that Capt. Howell became very eXasper-
ated, and in that frame of mind said
ned sell out before he would be dictat-
ed to by Hoke Smith.
Mr.. Hugh L. Inman, to whom the
Captain was talking, asked him how
much he would take for his stock-25O
shares.
He replied that he would sell for $40
per share, making his entire holding
amount to 100000.
Mr.. Inman asked how long he would
keep that open, and Capt. Howell said,
"One week." Papers were drawn up
to that effect.
Mr.. Banigan, the Providence million
l.
William Austell, in erecting the Austell
office building, was here at the time.
Mr.. Inman approached him with the OPP
ton, and Mr.. Banigan, having accumu-
lated about $10,000,000 in the Rubber
Trust, said he would loan 100000 ON
the stock at 6 per cent interest. Mr..
lnman reported the result of his inyesti-
cation to Mr.. w. A. Hemphill, the
business manager of the Constitution.
MIR. Hemphill decided to take 200 shares
of Capt. Howells stock, and Mr.. Hoke
Smith, the president of the Journal
Publishing Company, said he must have
the other fifty. The whole was paid
for by Banigan's money.
The "!"c: maih stockholders, as far
us ascertained, are Messrs. Hugh and
Sam lnmnn and James Swami.
Messrs. w. "A. Hemphlii and Hoke
Smith now own the controlling interest
in the paper. Mr.. Clark Howell, edi-
tor-in-chief, holds the same amount as
Mr.. Smith, the owner of the Constitu-
TONS afternoon rival.
