says the American Wheelman. Is re-
ported from Austria, where. In the
District of Neustadt, the gendarmes
have been arrestlng all cyclists ridinS
IN daytime without lanterns. The cy-
rlists of Vienna, the most progressive
wheelmen in the empire, where the sport
Is not vet free from many vexatious
restrictions, fomented the most active
resistance to the law. A leading
journal of the city called on the &C. 900
riders of the capital to visit Neustadt
EN- masse and, by compelling thous-
ands of arrests, to show the stupidity
Sf the law.

Large hats are even larger than they
were in the fall, and the crowns are
medium broad and medium in height.
The brim is usually narrower at the
back than at the front, but some
shapes widen at the sides where the
brim turns up, and others turn up at
the back, with plumes underneath the
brim. There are fiuted brims in every
shape imaginable, but the old sailor
shape in the new light braids bids fair
to head the list of popular hats.

Immense Amount of Freight Has Been
Shipped to Alaska, Which It VIII

Port Townsend, Wash, July 27.-The
steamer City Of Topeka has arrived
from Alaska. She brings news that the
Klondike fever is on the increase at
Juneau, nearly every ablebodied man
there either having gone or prepared
10 SO to the rich fields. Authentic re-
ports direct from Dyea are that there
IS now as much freight piled up at the
head Of the inlet as the Indians can
pack over the divide in the next eight
cen months
This amount Of freight will be more
than doubled when the steamers Queen
and Mexico, now en- route arrive. This
condition Of affairs practically pre-
cludes the possibility Of hundreds Of
the gold seekers reaching the mining
region this year.
Frank f Myers. n Juneau newspa-
per man, will leave here in two weeks
for Dawson City. He will go by the
route followed by Lieutenant Schwatke.
who conducted an exploring party into
the Yukon valley in 1889.
This route starts from Takou inlet,
30 miles south of Juneau. from Takou
to Lake Testin, a distance OF 130 miles
over level prairies. and the country
from Lake Testin is an open valley
through to Yukon river by way Of the
Hooting Hua river.
With the aid Of pack horses the Takou
route is by far tho more preferable. 1t
| Is possible that a stage line Will be op-
Grated over this route.
Parties who have been over bott
routes say that the walk of 13o miles
over the level country is more easily
accomplished than that Of the Is miles

detail an army officer and a company of
soldiers from the regular army for serv-
ice in Alaska. The matter is yet In
very indefinite shape, but details will
be arranged as soon as possible In or
der that the soldiers may get into the
vicinity Of the gold country before nav
igation closes on the Yukon river
They win be sent to their destina-
tion via the Yukon river route, and the
offer Of one of the shipping companies
on the Pacific coast to transport the
men and their baggage and stores VIII
probably be accepted.
The exact location of the camp or
post has not yet been deternined on,
but 1t is expected to be at Circle City.
An army officer now In the field and
who has had experience in such matters
has been invited TO take charge of the
company and an answer is expected
from him very soon.
The detail of men who viii go VIII
be made from one OF the posts in the
west, but just which one is not finally
settled on. The officials are anxious
to locate the soldiers in the gold coun-
try as soon as possible. and If II can be
arranged they will be sent on hesteam-

SOME TARIFF ERRORS
Inaccuracies Are Pointed Out In
the New Bill.
MAY Be UNABLE TO RECONCILE THEM
Several Sections of the Act Are Incorrect
and Misleading-One Provision as to
Licensing Brokers Is Left out
of the Act Altogether.

Washington, July 27.-The treasury
officials already have discovered a num-
Der Of Inconsistencies in the new tariff
act some of them, 1t is feared. being
incapable Of reconciliation. It is point
ed out that section 262 places the duty
on plums at 25 cents per bushel. and
section 264 fixes the rate at cents per
pound. An error in the paragraphs as
to currants was corrected in confer
ence. Another section fixes the rate OF
duty on hides of cattle at Is per cent
ad valorem and admits raw skins free.
The question involved is the classif-
cation Of calfsl1ins, it being contend
ed that commercially oalfskins are not
classed as hides of cattle. and hence are
entitled to free entry. which is believed
TO be contrary TO the purpose Of con-
gress. Attention is also called to the
fact that the provision as to licenses
for customs brokers was by inadver-
tence. it is believed. left out of the act
Circulars are in preparation constru-
ing a number Of the sections of the act.
Persons entering this country are per-
mitted under certain restrictions to
bring with them. duty free, usual and
reasonable furniture This is inter-
preted to mean such furniture as would
be reasonable and useful for the per-
sonal use of persons in their condition
