Everybody has fallen into the way of
referring to the great gold discoveries
of Alaska as though they really are
there; but the fact is that the Clondyke
field lies in the British Northwest Terri
tory. 1t is all right, probably, for the
lucky individuals who get their gold out
of the ground and carry it away, but
some time there may be trouble over
titles of mines thereaway.

ONCE MORE, GO SLOW!

While later reports confirm the rich
ness of the gold discoveries in the Clon-
dyke district of the Yukon country, they
emphasize the warning sounded by the
Herald with regard to the danger of go
ing there unless the prospector is well
provided with both money and provis-
ions. 1t is probably the ideal"po man s
country so far as the diggings them
selves and the facilities for obtaining
the gold are concerned, but it should not
be forgotten that the district is a thous-
and miles, more or less from civiliza-
ton; that It is exceedingly difficult to
set provisions there~and that the price
of food is proportionately high. 1t must
be remembered, too, that the placer
mining season will practically be over
before anyone starting from the states
now can reach the district and get to
work.
There is going to be fierce and merci-
less competition between the thousands
and tens of thousands of men who are
rushing into the Yukon and the weakest
will have to go to the wall. The man
who goes there without money and sup
plies invites hardship and hunger if not
worse than these. The Associated Press
dispatches say that the gold fever has
already broken out in New York city,
and recall the fact that New York fur
nished the largest complement of forty
miners of any state in the Union. Thous-
ands will go from the east to swell the
army of gold seekers.
There is undoubtedly gold in Alaska,
and many will make money there, but
common sense and conservatism apply
in the business of gold mining as in
everything else. There is dead man for
every lucky tenderfoot who ever Struck

THE MURDER
OF LITTLE PETE
Preliminary Examination
of Wing Sing and
Chin Poy.
The Evidence Shows That the
Former Was Seen Walking
Hurriedly Away.
So Far Nothing Has Been Adduced to
Incrimin ale Chin Poy in
tie Murder.

The preliminary examination Of Wing
Sing and Chin Poy, charged with the mur-
der of Little Pete on Saturday night, jan
uary %, WAS begun before Juoge Joachim
sen yesterday morning. Attorney Robert
Ferral appeared for the prosecution and
Attorney j. NJ. Smith for the defense.
The evidence did not show that either
of the defendants was in the barbershop,
817 Washington street, when the shots
were fired, but Wing Sing was positively
identified as seen walking hurriedly from
the shop in the direction of Waverly place.
Wong Chaong, one of the BARRIERS in the
shop. was the first witness called. He
testified he had been dressing a customer s
queue and had gone into the rear room to
EN- PITY the water from basin when he
heard the shooting. He did not see the
man who fired the shots. There were
three BARRIERS and two customers in the
shop at the time. Little Pete had been
there for ten or twenty minutes. He did
not see any man ioitering outside the
shop Just prior to the shooting.
DR.. Morgan, the autopsy physician at
the Morgue, described the course of the
two bullets through the brain and the one
through the heart. and that any one OF
the three was fatal.
Wong Chick Cheong. another barber,
who was shaving Little Pete, testified
that he had just finished washing his
queue and was in the<rear room emptying
the basin. when he heard three or four
shots. By the time he got back to the
shop nobody was in sight.
ID. S. Hutchins, col ector for a sewing
machine com pany, living at 326 O'Farrell
street, testified that on the night in ques-

ton he was standing on the northwe ST
corner of Washington street and Waverly
place. He heard a shot and walked
uiagoually across Washington street to
the center of the Car track. He saw a
Chinese in front of the door of the barber
snop, who hurried down the street. He
was alone at first, but was Immediately
followed by another Chinese. He did not
see any one come out of the door oi
the shop. de identified Wing Sing as the
Chinese he first saw walking hurriedly
from the shop. There were no Chinese
between the barber-shop and the point
where he was standing. Wing Sing was
not running, but walking hurriedlv. He
could not positively identify Chin Poy as
the other Chinese.
On cross-examination he said he located
the place from the sounds of the shots.
He got fair side view of Wing Sings
face. He could not say that Chin Poy
was the second man, as he looked to see il
he had q gun in his hand, and con.e-
quently did not see his face.
JAMES Briggs, colored Pullman porter,
testified that he came out of Ross alley,
which is Immediately fronting the barber-
shop, when he saw the flash and heard th4
first. shot in the baroer-shop. He got out
as far as the car track and heard the other
two shots. He saw two men standing out
side and some Chinese coming out or the
place. He uld not know whether or not
the door was open. One Chinese who
came out walked fast down the hill and
two or three others followed him.
Wing Sing was placed alongside si1
other Chinese, and Briggs at once identi.
fed him.
In cross-examination he said he did moi
see any one coming out OF the shop.
''If five men were in the shop" said
Attorney Smith, chow could you fail tc
see Wing Sing come out?"
81 may be mistaken about Wing Sing,
replied Briggs, ''but don't think so.''
The case was continued until mex

meeting held on Wednesday evening,
February 8, by a unanimous vote passed
the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, 1t is well. known tn at the pri-
mary elections heretofore held in this City
have been, generally, ,fraudulently conducted
and That great diSS atistaction exists regarding
the same, so much SO that many of the best
citizens OF all parties have refused to partici-
pate in the SAID so-called primaries; and
whereas, we believe that in order to have
good government and honest officials we must
have honest and tairlv conducted primaries,
in which all our citizens can with propriety
participate; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Legislature now in ses-
sion Ue and II is earnestly requested 10 pass
a primary election law requiring all political
parties holding primary election to mold all
such prim aries on the same day. and that all
the safeguards, penalties and provisions gov.
erning general elections shall apply thereto.
WHEREAS, In the opinion of this club, S. J.
DuckwOrIh, chief clerk of the present Assem-
bly, OF this State, betrayed the confidence re-
posed in him by the Republican members OF
said Assembly, by appointing larger number
OF employees than was necessary for the pur-
pose of organization, thereby wantonly vast
ing the peoples money and bringing discredit
on the good name of the Republican party;
the refore, be 1t
Resolued, That the said S. ]. Duckworth
should be removed and that the Legislature
now in session ought TO pass such laws as will
in future prevent the placing Oh the tenn
porary roll any greater number of persons
than is actually necessary 10 properly conduct
the business of the Assembly.
ReSolUed That copies of these resolutions be
forwarded TO the President pro tenn. of the
Senate, the Speaker of the Assembly, the Re-
pu blican State Central Committee and the
press ROBERT A. FRIEDRICH, President.

Christian Alliance, arrived in Oakland
from the southern portion OF the State
last evening. He was met at the Six

ASK ANNEXATION
Resident Spaniards Would End
the War to Save Cuba From
Destruction.
Efforts Being Made to Sound
Merchants and Planters on
the Subject.
Asserted That the United States
Alone Can Keep Order on
the Island.

MATANzAs, Cuba, via Key West, Oct.
19.-The business element here, in Ha.
vana and elsewhere. seems to have ar.
rived at the conclusion that the Madrid
government cannot end the war on the
basis of autonomy to Cuba as there are
not enough loyalists among the auton.
omists to hold public Office. At least
that is the claim the conservative Span.
iards make. In addition, the latter ex.
press the belief that the autonomists,
even if they were placed in power,
would not be able to preserve peace and
protect life and property from the law
less elements. In view of this condi.
ton Of affairs q number of important
merchants and sugar planters of Spanish
origin. in conjunction with several
Cubans of prominence, have been hold.
ing secret meetings and corresponding
with people in various parts Of the
island with the object of ascertaining
the views Of the
Commercial and Planting Community
in Pinar del Rio, Havana, Matanzas
and Santa Clara provinces, as to the
future for Cuba most likely to further
their interests and those Of the island
in general. It is expected that the mo.
jority of the replies will be favorable to
annexation of Cuba to the United
States, as the Washington government
alone, apparently, is able to guarantee
peace in Cuba and the protection Of life
and property. AS soon as it is ascer-
tanned that the sentiment of the persons
appealed to are in favor Of annexa-
tion, q committee will be sent to the
United States with instructions to lay
the case Of Cuba clearly before the busi-
ness men of prominence in the United
States and ask the latter to unite with
the business men of Cuba in a petition
to the Washington government asking
the United States, in view of the fail.
ure of the Conservatives
To Suppress the Insurrection
by force of arms and pointing out the
impossibility Of the Liberals ending the
war by establishing an autonomous
form OF government, to bring about the
annexation Of Cuba to the United
States. The plan of Senior Sagasta, the
new Spanish premier, to give autonomy
to Cuba, far from giving satisfaction
here, has greatly increased the feeling
of discomfort. The autonomist party,
it is pointed ont, exists only in name
the actual majority of the autonomistt
being in the insurgent ranks and with
the exception, possibly, Of Senior Mon.
tero and few other prominent auton'
omists, the masses Of that party are in
sympathy with the insurge nts. Con
sequently it will be seen the Spanish
government, which has consulted Seno,
Montero on the subject, is finding great
difficulty in obtaining even the sug
gestion Of names Of autonomists to fl
Offices under an autonomist form o1
government.
