SPANS Note In The Cabinet--Relie For
whaIers-Buck Heard From.
A Washington special says: A crank
appeared at the white house Tuesday
and demanded to see President Nc.
Kinley. He said the president had
not treated him right. He was so per.
sistent that the police were ordered to
arrest him. At police headquarters
he said his name was Henry Rocket,
of l241 Fourth street, Southwest
There is no such name and address in
the city directory.
The full text OF SPANS reply to the
Woodford note was read at the cabinet
meeting Tuesday. Its tone was very
pacific, instead Of being at all warlike,
was regarded by the cabinet as very
satisfactory, and as calculated to allay
any fear of hostile outbreak.
The cabinet also gave consideration
TO the ice-bound Bering Sea whaling
feet. Two plans have been decided
upon, one to send the Bear, from Seat
tie, which cannot be got ready for two
weeks, and another to send the Thrash
or, a whaling vessel at San Francisco.
United States Minister Buck at

The New York Observer believes
s'it will be a satisfaction to Christian
people TO note that the famous strike
Of the laborers employed by Lord
Penrhyn in his large slate-quarries
has now at last been settled, and that
his lordship has admitted the right Of
the employees as q local body to adopt
rs their own the grievances of an in
diyidual workman or class of workmen.
This last point is not, we rejoice to
feel, longer an open question in
America. Lord Penrhyn has yielded
his old world ideas very reluctantly
on this issue; nor is it clear, indeed,
that he has yet gone so far as to deal
directly with outside trades union
officials. This unfortunate Penrhyn
controversy, which has been carried
on for nearly year, has inflicted
severe loss on his lordship and great
privation and suffering on his men.
The latter have all along received
much moral and financial support
from outsiders. OF the whole body Of
the House of Commons, only two
members have ventured TO defend
Lord Penrhyn in his arbitrary course,
who, as an English journal remarks,
has tried to manage a great industry
under the forms and spirit Of feudal-
ism. The experiment has cost him.

There is o jree-and-easy assumption
that modern journalism, 80 called, is
responsible for the rush to the Klon-
dixie. Those who make this curious
blunder seem to be quite unaware OF
tho fact that there was rush TO the
gold fields OF California nearly fifty
years ago. by, the side Of nehich -tha<
to Alaska sinks into insignifcance.
Nor must it be forgotten that in 1s49
aud 1850 California was as much an
unknown land as Alaska is to-day,
and that every argonaut Of those days
understood that he was going forth
to encounter great dangers. The new
journalism had not yet made its APP
pearance, but the stampede occurred
all the same, just as it would have
done in 1897 il the newspapers had
been content to print short items de-
failing the facts.
