hOkOMO, Ind, Nov Ex-Governor John
q. Brady. of Alaska. in response to a re-
quest for advice to Klondikers, has written
to frier-d here. The letter is from Sitka,
as follow S:
There, are wonderfully rich places in the
northwest territory, a British possession,
by AM orleans. The Canadian mining laws
are Oh nerent from the United States. In
the ~ ltlsh possessions one is not questioned
apout his citizenship. The Canadian Cab
met has authority to extort royalties, coll
iect for water rights and timber. 1t looks
now as though they intended to get the
sr9atest possible revenue, as they are send
ing a strong force of mounted police to
drive the Americans to their own country.
TIE output of dust from a few small
81 reams running into Turnagain Arm at
Cooks inlet was $500, 000 While this is all
true you should before determining to come
to Alaska consider we'll the dark side. The
country is mountainous, the valleys full of
glaciers, the currents of the streams swift
and hard to work. A large part of the sur
face is covered with moss which thaws out
only foot In the summer. In winter every
thing is solid. Prospecting must be done
with fire, thawing the ground, scraping
out the thawed earth and repeating the fire
The country affords no food. The means of
transportation are meager and costly. Pic
ture yourself on steamer at the mouth Of
Der and rig up boat. You start up the
stream. You find oars of little use. With
party OF three men one works the oars
the others are on the banks with a line
While this work is proceeding a cloud of
bloodthirsty mosquitoes are attacking you
and If you are not protected they will set
you distracted. The mosquito is fully de-
veloped here. If you must try Alaska bring
years outfit. If ycl do not know how to
mine work for wages the first year. This
will be necessary school of experience and
then you will be ready for the next rich
strike, being able to save from your wages
sufficient sum to buy an outfit and secure
a claim to work on your own hook. 1t is not
worth while to try this venture unless you
can give it three to five years. 1t is best
for men to go in small parties, not over
four together Come as far as Juneau with
nothing but cash. The stores are well sup
piled now and your outfit can be purchased
there cheaper than at home.

THREATS OF REVOLUTION.
Riot the Streets of Vienna and
Gratz-Newspapers COnfiscnted.

Gratz-Newspapers COnfiscnted.
VIENNA, Nov 2e.-After 9 o'clock this
evening the aspect of the streets became
more threatening. 1t is estimated that a
crowd OF ten thousand people, including a
very large number of students, assembled
and threatened THE government with revo-
luton, and Count Badeni, the premier, with
the guillotine. An attempt was made to
attack Count Badeni's house. The police
repeatedly charged the crowd but refrained
from using arms. The students resisted
with sticks. One police inspector was Sc
verely injured by kick from a horse; an
other was thrown from his horse and so
badly hurt that 1t was necessary TO remove
him to a hospital. A few students and some
citizens received slight injuries. Not until
nearly II o'clock was quiet restored.
To-days edition of most of the evening
papers have been confiscated, and the police
have freely arrested persons offering pa
pers for sale in the streets.
A serious riot is reported at Gratz, the
capital city of Styria. 1t appears that the
students and large body of workmen at
tackled three newspaper Offices doing some
damage. The police, with the assistance
of troops, have restored order. and twenty
arrests have been made of the ringleaders.
The cool attitude maintained by Herr
Abrahamovics the president of the cham
ber, greatly enrages his opponents.
Mr. Samuel L. Clemens mark Twan) was
among those expelled from the gallery of
the Unterhaus to-day.
Workmen took, but little part in the street
demonstrations. They intend to organize
demonstrations on their own account,
which will probably be more serious in
their results.
