One man has brought $4,000
worth of gold dust, the result of
his winters work, and the steamer
Portland is due with a reported
cargo of S1.Oo0,0o0 in gold on
board. 1t is necessary for miners
and prospectors to take at least
a years supplies of provisions
with them, as it is quite impossi-
BILE to secure them in that terri
tory, where the hardships are re-
ported to be very great. Not

weeks in mid-winter, when the
mercury ranges down below in

If the Indians now living in
Oklahoma want to migrate to
Mexico, as reports declare, they
should be permitted to do so. by
all means. They are not useful
and only slightly ornamental, and
if Mexico will receive them she
is welcome to them. The aver
age Indian in Oklahoma is dis
tinctly not desirable lot, and the
country would surely be none the
worse for his leaving it.

Bryan Going To Mexico.
Pittsburgh Times.l

. 49, r - sf
Pittsburgh Times.
According to all reports VIM.
Jennings Bryan is doing q pow
erful lot Of studying these days.
He was reported a short time
ago to be contemplating a tour
round the world in order that he
might store his mind with facts
tending to convince his fellow
citizens that their salvation lay
ia so cent dollars. Now it is said
that he will go to Mexico in ord
er to study and report upon the
blessings which the free coinage
OF silver have conferred upon the
people of that country. We do
not know how that country will
appear to Bryan's eyes, but it IS
certain that if goes there he will
find the part of the continent
which was first colonized by Eu-
ropears nearly at the tail end OF
the procession. He will find a
country richly endowed by ma
ture whose development laes a
century or more behind the re-
Gently settled territory to the
north Of it. He will find the
lowest wages ever paid in this
country of the gold bugs prince
ly compared with what are deem
ed sufficient there.
He may come back with some
sophistical argument to persuade
the American worklngmen that
free silver in Mexico is making
of that country paradise. and
may be able to show that, because
the wages there are % cents a
day or less, the adoption OF the
same system of currency here
will cause the workers to live in
luxury, but he will not succeed
in making any sane persons be-
lieve it. For. aside from the
general knowledge Of the subject
possessed by every intelligent
man, it will be remembered that
the workingmen themselves dur
ing the last campaign sent their
representatives toMexico andthat
they reported a condition of af-
fairs that by no means caused
those whom they represented to
banker after Mexican conditions.
In fact, all through the contest
Mexico was source of weak
ness. 1t was too near home and
too we'll known to escape atten-
ton, and the conditions there,
coupled with the forced admls-
sion of Bryan that his scheme
would at least, temporarily re-
duce wages, was the cause OF the
overwhelming majority against
him in all the industrial centers
of the country.
They have found a lake OF oil
in Alaska and now, with petro-
leum, gold, coal, lumber. and
furs, that Territory seems likely
to develop into the richest of
possessions. More
over, says the Mail and Cypress,
the same Old mossbacks who
howled against the purchase of
Alaska thirty years ago are now
spraining their Threats with deep,
hoarse denunciatlons of the an
nexation of Hawaii. For these
enemies of National growth the
lessons of history and experience
have no meaning whatever.

The police knocked at the door of tho

under arrest. Then a search was begun
for the firearms. The. police found q
small door in one OF the walls and broke
it down. 1t opened into a small room and
there the implements and munitions of
war were found. Tney comprised one old
Colt revolver, and eight new ones, each in
a box as brought from the store. The re-
volvers are Al or Al caliber, about loot

twenty-five juicy chickens, three tame
ducks, spices, ETC., with sack of rice and
liberal quantity of tea to wash the
viands down by Pete on his long jour

In addition to those substantial articles
which were especially prepared for the
boss of the Sam Yup Compa there
were 112 carriages provided by "Pete's"
heirs for the hundreds OF his followers
who accompanied his remains to the
cemetery and back.

inmates in every instance seemed to be
troubled with guilty consciences, however,
for they never failed 10 make their escape
without any formal good-by.
At 742 Commercial street 1t was found
necessary to break down the door to OBJ
tain ingress. The last man in the house,
a cook, was disc overed in the act of climb
ing through skylight. Officer MCGOWAN

linquished his shoe and escaped. After a
lively chase around couple of chimney
stacks the Chinese apparently lost his
head and jumped fourteen feet TO the roof

PRICE GETS TEN YEARS.

Killed His stepson With a Pair of scis-
sOrs Last October.
Judge Dunno has sentenced William J.
Price to ten years in the State Prison at
San Quentin for stabbing and killing his
stepson E. j. Edgar. The prisoner was
convicted Of manslaughter.
Judge Dunno lecounted the circum-
stances of the case, the testimony show
ing that Price had been drunken and
quarrelsome tor long time. On the 8th
of last October he went home drunker
and uglier than usual, and attacked his
wife in brutal manner. Edgar appeared
from an adjoining room and attempted
to save his mother from beating. The
young mans act incensed the drunken
man and taking up pair of scissors he
stabbed his stepson over the heart, in
ficting mortal wound. Edgar ran ont
of the house and dropped DEAD in the
street.
In the opinion OF the court the testi-
mony was sufficient TO have warranted a
verdict for murder in the second degree.
Because of this the extreme penalty for
mansIaughter was imposed.

Wing Sing and Chin Poy Booked
for the Murder of Little Pete.
Wing Sing and Chin Poy, the Chinese
who were arrested by Policeman Murty
Callinan shortly after Little Pete's MUIR
der and have been detained in the tanks
since, were formally charged with the
murder yesterday morning.
The complaint was sworn to by Police
man E. C. Robinson before Judge Joach-
imsen yesterday morning.
Chief Crowley said yesterday that he be-
lieved they were the men who com mitted
the murder, but the evidence against them
is not yet complete. They were seen run
ming from the barbershop when the fatal
shots were fired, and the Chief believes
that considerabl important evidence will
be available for the prosecution at the
trial.
Ex-Judge Ferral, who has been retained
to assist the prosecution, expressed the
opinion that the investigation will lead to
the arrest of other Chinese implicated in

IN A NEW FORM
The Fairy Tale Aladdin"
Makes It's Bow at the
Tivoli.
Good Scenery and a Batch of
Sparkling Songs and
Dialogue.
Pretty Nearly All the Od. Time
Talent Have Place in the
Performance.

Another season of the spectacular began
last night at.the Tivoli, when Aladdin"
made its bow to crowded house. The
story of the operetta is as old as the fairies
themselves, but it comes this time with
new accessories and garnished with novel
flavor.
There are four acts in the Tivoli song
story and double that nun Der of scenes.
There is the zest of originality in the dia-
logue and the vocal part of the pro-
gramme. Provision has been made to
introduce a vaudeville concert in the
third act, and the innovation has proved
a success. There is some very good scenery,
the effects in the cave, where Aladdin
finds the magic lamp, being elaborate and
startling.
Beyond the name and that the skeleton
of the old fairy story is seen in the back
ground in all the varying scenes and num-
bers, aladdin" by any other name would
be just as good. The characters have been
maze to order 10 a great extent to suit the
availa bic talent, and the workmanship Is
OF good order The place of fun provlder,
of course, falls TO Ferris Hartman as Tip
popping. There is another comedian part

in the third act that is one OF the best
efforts in the performance. Miss Anna
Schnabel is the Princess Lovesins, his
daughter, who is ultimately wooed and
won by Aladdin, much to The delight of
courtiers, servants, Turks, tailors and a
host of other people. The list grows with
Rhys Thomas as Babajeet, a anecromancer: :
Arthur Boyce and w. II. Tooker as genii
aud handy men generally; Fred Kava-
nagh. the grotesque servant Hyson, and
Duncan Smith as Coupecoop, a coach
man.
Miss Annie Suits is Niteo. the genius of
the lamp and in her vaudeville moments
good imitation OF the girl from Paris.
Miss Bernice Holmes plays mother to
Aladdin. Miss Josie Intropodi has the
place OF Coodove. The list is complete
with Miss Jennie Stockmeyer and Miss
Vera Werden as servants.
The show goes with a zing and ring
and will undoubtedly make hit. 1t has
only one fault, not bad one after all. 1t
Is too long. 1t will stand pruning in the
interests of the last-car contingent.
