ARMY RATIoNs FOR YUKON.
But Capt. Brainard Thinks Grub
Stake Food Is Better.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Captain D. L.
Brainard, who is in Chicago making
arrangements to advertise for bids for
Klondike supplies, has been ordered to
advertise Immediately for a prepared
list of rations consisting essentially Of
the army rations for 1000 people for
100 days, a weight approximating &c.,,
600 pounds. These supplies are to be
supplied at Dyea by Feb. l.
Secretary Alger this afternoon re
ceived the following telegram from
Captain Brainard:
Chicago, Dec. 27.-I believe the
nutritive value claimed for condensed
foods are somewhat exaggerated; be-
sides these foods are difficult to pack
and tin packages add greatly to the
weight. I deem the most satisfactory
food for Alaska to be bacon, beans,
-four, peas, rice, suffar, coffee, tea and
chocolate, the necessary condiments
and small quantity of butter and con-
densed milk. These articles possess
proper nutriment, are easy to pack
and. except butter and milk, have no
extra weight for packages.

The congressman means to make only

been a warm friend of the Cuban patriots
and is not likely to alter his position I'M
less he sees some striking evidence of
the desire of the Spaniards to grant and

amounts to home rule.

PHYSICIANS STATEMENT.

Editor Arizona Republican, Sir:
 The account of the illness and death of Judge Truesdale which appeared in The Republican of the 18th inst, pre- sumably authoritative and inspired by the physicians who were in attend .ance in the beginning of his sickness, keing partially misleading and evil
 |ntly intended to be so, should re-
 i've some comment to make it more E1ear.
 The article says: CD That Judge Truesdale had an operation performed upon his nose, and that the operation was successful; @ that two days later grave symptoms intevened; (3) that death was caused by septic meningeal trouble; (D that the physicians at- tendant upon the latter part of the case did not understand the true char acter of the disease.
 The article carefully avoids to state the only proper conclusion from the above assertion, viz: That Judge Truesdale having undergone an opera ton, had septic poisoning of the brain and therefore died from the effects of the operation or it's improper after treatment.
 The physicians who succeeded to the treatment of the case have been care ful to say nothing of the preceding treatment or of the causes which led

Pat Sheedy on Gambling.

When asked how, if he always play ed a square game ne could always find people he could beat. Sheedy re- piled: "My, boy, sucker is born every minute, and," he added. some times twins"
 Of all the twin suckers we know of, the greatest are: The one that believes ali thhe best drugs and chemi- calls are kept by one store; and the other is the one who believes that all drug stores keep equally as good drugs and chemicals.
 The claim we make is that we dis pense nothing but pure drugs and chemicals, and our stock contains more good values for your money than all others. DR. G. H. KEEPER.

LID to the conditions which brought about the fatal result, but they feel that the foregoing allegations call for explanation. They had refrained from asserting that the condition of Judge Truesdale was due to the op- eratiOn or the effects thereof But this course seems not to meet With ap- proval by the former medical attend ants and they have attempted to con vey to the public the idea that the more recent attendants were ignorant of the nature of Judge Truesdale's ill., ness. The later attendant physicians assert that they found such symptoms and conditions that justified them in differing from the diagnosis given by their predecessors, and the conditions which followed confirmed them ill their opinion.
 Nevertheless, thls issue being made by their predecessors, the recent at tendants wish it to be understood that they are perfectly willing to con- cede that Judge Truesdale could have died-as asserted-frOm the effects of an unskillful operation upon the nose and it's improper after treatment, be- cause, in this case, no reason for sep tic meningitis existed except an un- skillful, incompetent or filthy opera tion upon the nose.
 The recent attendants are also will l ing to concede that, as the former at 1 tendants performed the operation and directed the after treatment Gf there | was any), they are therefore the more | competent to judge of it's probable re- | suit. And, as they decide that the only cause of death was the condi- tions brought about by the operation, | that decision should be final, and they will thus, by their own plead ing and confession, be held respon- 1 sible tor Judge Truesdale' death.

 CThe reporter who wrote the article to which the above objection is taken believes that it has been misunder- stood. In the first place it was not the inspiration of any physician It was sought to make it a fair comparison of the views of both parties to the controversy. Regarding the state ment that the operation was success full from professional standpoint it was so considered at the time it was performed. Concerning the sec ond objection, two days after the op- eration it was currently reported thai grave symptoms were apparent As to the third, that The Republican as serted that death was caused by septic meningitis, a careful reading of tn: account will show that the statemenr was only given as the opinion of tht former physicians and was offset by a statement of equal prominence, tha it was the opinion of the latter phy sicians that death resulted from an other cause).

TRADE REPORT.

An Improvement In Business Predicted
Higher Prices for Observation-Disclosures.
New YORK, March 6.-Bradstreets
to-day says:
The new administration, the certainty OF an
extra session Of congress within o fortnight
and the promise Of a new tariff at an early day,
which shall provide adequate revenue and pro-
lection, have done much to stimulate better
feeling In trade circles and increase confidence
in the near approach Of on improvement In
business. Favorable features are found In
higher prices for wheat, corn, pork lard and
spirits Of turpentne, as well as for steel billets
Steel mills are fairly well filled with orders,
and in some lines are inclined to advance
prices. Recent low quotations for yarl-
Gus forms of iron and steel have
been withdrawn, notably for wire and struc-
tural material Confidence is expressed in an
early advance OF prices for tin and for shoes
and leather, based on the activity in hides.
Quotations are firm and unchanged during the
week for lumber, wool, print cloths rosin, Pc
troleum coffee, steel rails and Bessemer pig
iron, but there have been decreases for wheat
-four, oats, sugar and cotton. General trade
has been interfered with by rain, high water
in the Ohio valley and snow in the northwest
ern spring wheat states South Atlantic and
Gulf states have had some better weather,
with the merchandise movement equal to ex-
pectations
There are 269 business failures throughout
the United States this week, compared with s5s
last week, go in the week year ago, s52 in the
week two years ago, and smaller totals in like
