Climatic Conditions and Location of

There is such a great demand for 1nfor-

to reach it, climatic conditions expense of
Quitting, distances by various routes, cost
Of transportation, etc, that the Journal
has compiled the following from a number
of sources:
The Yukon climate is the least understood
of all that countrys characteristics. The
gold fields lie on both sides of the Arctic
circle but mainly just below it. The Klon-
dixie diggings are farthest south and are
about $50 miles below the frigid zone. Days
are practically six. months long,, as are
nights. At Circle City, just little below
the Arctic circle, the sun sets for eleven
minutes when the day is longest. Its set
ting at Dawson is but few minutes longer
in midsummer, and there is bright twilight
during that period. In spring and fall there
is almost constant twilight; and there is
bright twilight throughout the winter.
Snow disappears and the streams open
about the middle of June. 1t is late in June
usually when the Yukon is sufficiently free
from ice for navigation. Then Yukon boats
begin their trips, taking up freight and
passengers brought to st. Michaers by con-

FOE NO AMENDMENT.

Fight For Annexation Not for &
Few Dollars.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-"We will
never consider any amendment of the
reciprocity treaty; we are fighting for
annexation, not for a few dollars, and
will not complicate our case by agree
ing TO any other change in our rela-
tions with the United States than
closer political relations"
Thus was the situation expressed by
one Of the Hawaiian annexation COM
missioners today. The Senate Finance
Committee has taken no action yet in
framing a substitute for the House
clause exempting Hawaiian sugars.
Senators Perkins is of the opinion the
treaty must be amended or abrogated.
Already he has begun to hear from
the opposite side in California. Peti-
tions from San Joaquin and Alameda
farmers, asking a continuance of the
treaty relations reached him today
while on the House side Barlow filed
resolutions of the San Luis Obispo
Farmers Alliance against abrogation.
The odd circumstance is presented
of Democrats and Populists from the
interior being in doubt as to what ac-
tion TO take, with chances favoring
their voting for maintaining the treaty
while San Franciscans are either ex-
pressed opponents of the treaty or are
lukewarm. John D. Spreckels and
Senator FELTON, are working for abro-
cation.
The fight for the retention of the
treaty is expected to take new boom
tomorrow on the arrival Of Gus Spree
kels from San Francisco.

ANOTHER RESOLUTION.
Senator Davis Offers Amendment
Against Abrogatlon.

Senator Davis Offers Amendment
Against Abrogatlon.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Hawaiian
matters came to the front in both
houses today. Senator Davis, chair
man of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, introduced an amendment to the
tariff bill which provides that nothing
in the bill shall be construed as abro-
eating the reciprocity treaty.
In the House of Representatives
King of Utah introduced resolution
which recites that the conditions in
Cuba and Hawaii are approaching such
a condition that action may be neces-
sary at any moment and calling for
the appointment of Foreign Rela-
tions Committee. This is due to the
publication of the latest news from
Hawaii setting forth the strained re-
lations between that country and ia
pan.
The Finance Committee of the Sen
ate has not framed its substitute for
the reciprocity clause in the Dingley
bill, but it will provide for the continu
ance of the treaty for one year with a
provision for an amendment at that
time which shall give to the island
growers from 80 to so per cent pro-
lection.

Sugar Magnate Declared Not Guilty
BY the Jury.
WASHINGTON, June LIN the case
of John E. Searles, the sugar trust
witness, Judge Bradley ordered the
jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal,
holding that the questions asked by
the Senate committee were not peril
nent, and if so were not within the
jurisdiction of the committee.
The Judges opinion was exhaustive.
He pointed out that Searles had testi-
fed specifically that no money had
been contributed by the sugar trust
to the national campaign or for the
purpose of influencing legislation or
the election of United States Senators
AS to the local contributions Searles
had testified that he did not know how
the contributions had been used, by
whom and for what purpose. The jury
accordingly rendered verdict of not
guilty and Mr.. Searles was free.

THE QUEEN Is FEARFUL.

Anticipated Crush at Celebration
Causes ,Uneasipess.
NEW YORK, June GA Worlds ca.
BILE from London says: The Queens
anxiety is growing more and more in
tense as her Diamond Jubilee ap-
proaches. 1t is said she is fearful, not
alone for her personal safety, but lest
some dreadful calamity mar the occa-
sion.
By her orders, Colonel Darlington
who has to direct the procession, is
making daily a most careful survey OF
the route, bit by bit, with a view to
discovering whether there are any
points at which either the crowd might
be in special danger of accident from
panic or from which an attack might
be delivered against herself.
The Queen has made no secret to her
circle in court that if she had antici-
pated the enthusiasm and rush to Lon
don would have been so much greater
than in 1887 she would never have en-
tered upon the project of public pro-
cession. Her sight has grown very bad
during the last few months, so she has
to wear darkened spectacles, and, be-
ing unable to see well, Increases her

Senator Frye of Maine, who has
made "a fight against any changes in
the commercial convention, which
means so much to San Francisco's
trade, so expressed his belief today.
He continued:
'I hear that the Finance Committee
has already decided to report, instead
of the amended clause as to reciprocity
with the Hawaiian Islands the same
one as is in the House bill, and is in
the Wilson law now in force, which
continues in force all the provisions OF
the treaty as it stands. l do not be-
lieve there is strength enough in the
opposition to the treaty to make the
tariff bill a medium for changing any
treaty"

Considerably Reduced.

Appropriation for Pearl Harbor
Considerably Reduced.
WASHINGTON, June lat 8
o'clock Cannon, of Illinois, presented
to the House the conference report on
the sundry civil appropriation bill. In
stead of appropriating $4,000 for Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, an appropriation of
$4,000 is made for survey of the en-
trance and a report by the Secretary
of the Navy on the amount and cost
of the land necessary to be acquired for
coaling and repair of the station.
The report was antagonized by Loud
of California, on the ground that one
of the provisions for the proposed leg
islation would result in the practical
destruction of half his State, which de-
pended upon the maintenance of the
forest reservation on the Sierra Ne
vada Mountains in its present condi-
ton.
After statement by Cannon of the
effect of the agreement the report was
adopted.

Cuban policy which the President has

said 10 be contemplating seriously the
annexation of Hawaii
In this purpose the President and his
Cabinet are agreed. The manner in
which the annexation is to be brought
about has not fully been determined,
but it is regarded as not at all i'm
probable that Hawaii will be part of
the United States within year. The
formaiities to be observed by the Ha-
waiian Government in seeking annexa-
tion and by the American Congress in
accepting the responsibility cannot
be completed much before that time.

CONGO FREE STATE CRUELTIEs.

Governor Wahis Makes Unsatis-
factory Answer to Charges.
LONDON, May Ex-Governor Wahis
of the Congo Free State has column
letter in the Times this morning, an
swering the statements recently made
by Missionary Sjobloms in this city at
a public meeting at Exeter Hall, where
the subject of Western African Chris
tian missions was under consideration.
He admits the truth of many of the
charges, such as the mutilation and the
severing of the hands by the soldiers,
which, he says, is a native custom eX-
| tremely difficult to eradicate. He adj
mits that an attack was made on the
| village of Mandakavagigs and that
many cruelties were practiced there;
but he declares that all these offenses
have either been punished or are be-
| ing investigated.
The Times, commenting editorially
on the reply of Governor Wahis,
thinks it incomplete, and expresses re-
gret that the charges against the Con-
go Free State cannot be submitted to
full and searching inquiry.

the allegations that Senators have been

1t would be hard to find more

depression. While the British exche-
quer is full to overfowing the Ameri-

ficit. If we should be fools enough to
begin this business of tariff tinkering,

The steamer Waialeale returned
from Molokai at about a. m. yester-
day, after having taken to that island
for interment the body of R. W. Mey-

The Waialeale arrived in Kaunaka-

quite rough passage from Honolulu.
The water there, upon arrival, was as
smooth as a mill-pond.S The funeral
party accompanying the casket, went
toward shore in boats until shallow
water was reached, when they were
transported aboard scows to traverse
the remainder of the distance. The
casket was placed in the express, taken
down on the Waialeale for the purpose,
and removed to the family home at

lie Expresses His Opinions TO Some
Senators.
WASHINGTON, June 5. - Gus
Spreckels, who put in his first days
work today, would not talk about the
outlook, though others interested affect
confidence. He has come direct from
the Islands, and his utterances are
taken to prove that the Island Gov
ernment viii not meet compromise
efforts half way, but will fight out
attacks on old lines. To some Sena-
tors he met today Spreckels said Am
orleans in the Islands wanted recipro-
city as it now stands, or abrogation,
and would fight it out on that line.
Senator White has reached the con-
clusion that he cannot support con-
tinuance of the treaty as it stands, but
will favor annexation, as will Senator
Perkins. He said tonight he did not
know but there might be votes enough
TO hold the treaty in the bill. He was
aware, he said, that steps to that end
would be taken which might succeed.
Senator Perkins today introduced in
the Senate two petitions from San Joa-
quin and Alameda farmers asking a
continuance of the treaty as the ISL
ands furnish the foremost market for
farm produce.
