LONDON, July 15.-The evening
newspapers are in rage over the
sharp reply of Secretary Sherman to
Lord Salisbury, in the seal controversy.
The half-penny journals issue sensa-
tional placards bearing such lines as
Twisting the Lions Tail Again. and
America Shrieks at England" The
more serious papers deal with the sit
uation editorially., The Pail Mall Ga
zette says: Mr.. Sherman's tone is not
what it might be, but the nastiest
feature of the affair is the publication
of the dispatch at all"
The Westminster Gazette refers to
Mr.. Sherman's somewhat ugly dis
patch" and says: "Seals like silver get
into American party politics. 1t is an
ugly symptom that seals should be used
to provide the new American govern
ment with means for a demonstration
against England The Mckinley gov
ernment will inevitably disappoint the
American jingoes in the matter Of
silver, and thinks it necessary to clear
itself of pro-British suspicious by strik-
ing a too heroic attitude in the matter
of seals.'
The st. James Gazette says: "The
publication is a further demonstration
of certain transatlantic methods of
diplomacy which may one day involve
consequence much more serious. The

that the United States considers that
kind of language safe. But 1T is not
safe, and after some affront, more or
less fragrant, we may some day lind
that we cannot yield to them; and then

FABULOUS ELDORADO,
A Wonderful Discovery of Gold Re-
ported From Alaska.


ported From Alaska.
SAN FRANCISCO, July ia story
rivalling in intensity of interest that
told of the fabulous wealth of Monte
Cristo was related by the passengers
of the little steamer Excelsior, which
has just arrived from st. Michael's.
Alaska. Millions upon millions of vir
gin gold, according to the story, awaits
the fortunate miner who has the hardi-
hood and courage to penetrate into the
unknown depths of the Yukon district.
There was tangible evidence on the
little steamer of the truth Of the story
told by the travellers, for in the cabin
were scores of sacks filled to the very
mouth with dust taken from the
placers Of the far frozen north. The
amount brought in is variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to $75OOOO
There came in on the Excelsior some
forty people, among them some women,
from what is now known as the Clon-
dyke district, though only fifteen of
these had been actually engaged in
mining. There were among them men
who had been for more than ten years
facing the dangers and hardships of
the frozen north, in the hope Of making

WASHINGTON. July 15.-The tariff
conferees were in a more hopeful mood
today than yesterday, and one of the
leading representatives of the senate
expressed the opinion that the Repub-
licans would be able to conclude their
labors tomorrow, and to summon the
Democratic members by Saturday.
His view, he said, was justified by the
present appearance of things, but he
added that there were still more con-
tingencies that might arise to prevent
so early an agreement, and that it was
impossible to say precisely when the
end would be reached. 1--WE shall come
out all right, however, and 1 think
soon, he added. I'VE have a tedious job,
but it is not a hopeless one and there
is no foundation to the reports that
we are in danger of not reaching an
agreement"
The day was spent in considering
minor details Of the bill which have
been passed over with an occasional
reference to the differences on the
sugar schedule, which is still the
stumbling block. Senators not in the
conference, but in close touch with the
members of it, express the opinion to-
day that the contending factions are
very near an adjustment which will
compromise the differences on the
sugar schedule.
On the house side, on the other hand,
among those in close touch with the
conferees, it is asserted with great
positiveness that the house conferees
have no intention of yielding anything
to the senate on the house schedule,
and the opinion is freely expressed that
the deadlock will continue Indefinitely
until the senate yields. The house con-
ferees, they say, know that they have
practically the unanimous support of

his men at work and prolong the
