CABINET MEETING
Alaska Mining Supplies Must Not
Escape Duty

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The cabi-
net meeting today was of short duration
and attended by all members save Sec
rotary Sherman, who leaves town this
afternoon. Foreign affairs did not f1g-
ure at all in the proceedings, and the
only matter of consequence before the
cabinet was the submission by Secretary
Gage of a plan for the establishment Of
SUBJ ports of entry into Alaska to collect
revenue from goods being imported in
large quantities into the Territory, as
the result of the great immigration of
miners. There was some talk about the
currency message, and it was decided
that it should be sent in only after the
tariff conference report had passed the
Senate.
The Canadian government will be noti-
fled Immediately Of the intention to
create a SUPPORT of entry at Dyea for
the benefit of British shippers of sup
plies for the gold district.
Vessels carrying men, provisions and
supplies will be allowed to proceed past
Juneau to Dyea, where the supplies are
to be put into bond and shipped over the
short intervening stretch of United
States territory to the British Columbia
boundary line and thence to the Clon-
dyke fields. All of the cabinet were
agreed upon the course to be taken.

OHIO DEMOCRATS
Expect to Win in the Campaign Next
Fall

NEW YORK, July 2S.-EX- Governor
Campbell of Ohio, who is in the city,
does not think the National (gold) Dem
ocrats will hold the balance of power in
that State. He had no criticism to make
concerning the recent committee meet
ing of that party held in this city.
There are influential gold-standard
Democrats in Ohio" he said, "but do
not think they are strong enough to
change the results next November. In
the last election many of the single
standard Democrats voted for Bryan.
MY opinion is that nothing but bad
methods or mistakes on the part of the
Democratic machine can lose the State
to the Republicans next fall The drift
is in favor of the Democratic party"
Ex-Governor Samuel Hauser of Mon
tana is a free-silver Democrat and a
personal friend of MIR. Cleveland. When
questioned about the strength of the
gold Democrats in his State, he replied
.They have no strength and no organi-
cation in Montana"

DOUBLE MURDER
A Young Negroes Confession of an
Atrocious Crime

WHEELING, w. Va, July 23.-The
murder of the two Mason children at
Moundsville on Tuesday has been
cleared up by the confession of Edward
Jones, a colored boy of Is. Some weeks
ago Jones stole halter from Charles
Aliens stable. Stanley Mason, the 10
year-old victim of Tuesdays murder,
knowing of it, told Allen, and Jones
had to give up the halter On Tuesday
Jones went to the Mason home to take
his revenge. He took heavy switches
and beat Stanley and his 4-year-old
brother after removing their clothes,
till the blood ran from their bodies. Then
he took sharp pocketknife and stabbed
their bodies till he was tired and had
made at least 100 cuts.
To finish his bloody work, Jones cut
the boys throats and mashed their
skulls with a hoe. Jones told his awful
story with cool bravado. The Coroner's
jury sat behind closed doors and hurried
Jones into the State penitentiary, located
at Moundsville, to avoid the possibility
of a lynching.

IN TIME OF PEACE
American Vessels Are Being Prepared
for War

NEW YORK, July 23.--Orders have
been received at the Brooklyn navy yard
to have all the vessels that are under
going repairs there ready for sea duty
by the end of the week. The vessels are
to join the ships of the North Atlantic
squadron, and the work of making the
necessary repairs to them is being hur-
ried.
The only ship now at the navy yard
that will not join the squadron is the
Indiana. She is in bad condition, and
the hull below the water line is very
foul There is no dry dock at present
available i'll which to put the vessel for
needed repairs 1t IS said the British
government will be asked to allow the
Navy Department the use of the dock
at Halifax, as it is the only one in which
the Indiana can be floated.
This will be the first time the govern
ment has been compelled to ask for
eign government for the use of a dry
dock in which to place one OF it's ships
for repairs.
The new dry dock which was damaged
some time ago, and which is now I'M
dergoing repairs, will not be ready for
use for about six months.

COLORADO GOLD
Custer County Camps Expected to
Rival Clondyke

SILVER CLIFF, Col, July 2S.-If
find which has just been made here
turns out as expected Colorado may have
a Clondyke of its own and this old Gus
ter county camp will take on new life.
The discovery was made yesterday by
Joseph Foulk, a well known Custer
county man, who has been looking over
the ground about half a mile southwest
ofc town and near the waterworks. Foull
got out some quartz. 1t was brought to
town and tested. Some of the sylvanite
was roasted and brought out great gold
nuggets.
The news of the discovery quickly
spread and within few hours there was
a great rush to the new diggings. A
dozen claims were taken up before night
and today the whole of Silver Cliff seems
to be going to the scene of the find.

SALT LAKE, Utah, July 23.-Today,

icy, was county day. Probably the
greatest and most varied industrial dis
play ever whine ssed in any state west of
the Mississippi river was presented to-
day to the thousands of spectators who
watched with the keenest interest those
offerings at the shrine of industry. Ev-
cry industry known to the human race
was presented; every product of the
mines, of the workshop and of the soil
were set forth in splendid detail. Every
county in the state had it's float repre-
senting its peculiar resources. The
morning parade which started at IL
o'clock from South Temple street, was

FANATICS REPULSED
Canudos Recaptured After Every
Building Is Destroyed

NEW YORK, July ga dispatch to
the Herald from Rio de Janeiro says:
The city of Canudos has been again cap
tured by the government troops, after
the city had been totally destroyed by
the heavy guns of the army.
The recapture of the city was the re-
suit of bayonet charge on the fanatics
after practically every building in the
city had been laid low by heavy shells.
The fanatics resisted the frightfu bay
onet charge for only few minutes and
fled in all directions, leaving scores of
dead and wounded behind. The hand
to-hand fighting was terrific for a few
minutes.
After their flight from Canudos, the
rebels took refuge in the forests several
miles away, where they will probably be
again attacked by the government forces.

SAN JOSE, July 23.-The grape
growers and wine men of this county are
greatly concerned lest there shall be
return OF the disastrously low prices of
three years ago. Practically none of the
vintage of '96 which is now ready for
moving has been sold and all the cell
lars are full of wine. Unless this can
be moved there is no place to store this

The political outlook at Frankfort
is not very encouraging in the Sena-

as much discord among the Republi-

session when they failed to elect Jo
Blackburn. The prophecy that Mr.
Hunter would be elected has thus fs,
failed. On first ballot last Tuesday he
received Sc votes and on second day
he received 81 votes, since then he
has not increased his vote. Yesterday
he received only So votes, and the
prospects for his election are vanish
ing. His friends hope to bring "a
his rescue enough silver men to elect
him. There have been rumors that
Governor Bradley will be candidate,
and efforts are being made to induce
Democrats to vote for him. The
successful candidate must receive 70
votes. Joe. Blackburn has been the
fsvorite among the Democrats.
