| Perry Belmont, who returned
from Europe Saturday, in an inter
view, which be gave opt for publ
cation, had this 10 say on the none,
question:
I'm regard to the present attitude
of Europe toward international bi
metallism, there are advocates of i,
in france, England and Germany
as there was a year ago, but thu
advocacy has not increased in vol.
ume or intensity. Neither France
nor Germany will unite with Us in
placing gold and silver on parity
unless England leads the way
The continued increase in gold pro.
duction, the surplus last year and
this year of British incomes over
expenditures, the continued suprem.
acy of England in commerce, and
of London as an international
money market, have the effect OF
persuading parliament that the
present coinage, currency and fnan.
cial system is good, even though
there is distress in India. Reduc.
ton of taxes, with an enlargement
of its bases, there may be if peace
continues, but probably not a mod.
ification. on coinage or currency
laws so long as existing British in
dustrial prosperity endures.
THE Mckinley administration
is actively endeayorine, as the Re-
publican platform of 1896 requires,
to promote the free coinage Of silver
by international agreement. Its
ambassadors and special commits.
sioners are working in concert un-
der the law enacted by the last con-
gress, which Cleveland approved.
1.-THE question of details to be
adopted is kept in allegiance. There
is every prospect of an international
conference to be held within q short
time, and possibly to assemble in
Paris.
European bimetallists believe
that in the failure of International
bimetallism we shall open our minis
to silver at the ratio of Is to 1, and
Europe will open hers
on the ratio of 154 to /; then all
our gold will leave US, as it did after
1884, and only token silver coins

Several prominent statesmen have
been interviewed at Washington re-
Gently and questioned as to their
views regarding the probable effect
Of the Alaskan gold discoveries on

were inclined to the belief that the
possible production of the new
gold country had been greatly ex-
aggerated for the benefit of the
transportation companies.

Territory have only few thousand
dollars to pay for their labor. For.
tune scanned to smile on these in.
experienced men who went into the
mining dietricts late last year. as
nearly al of them were fortunate.
The stories they tell seem incredible
and far beyond belief. Instances
are noted where single individuals
have taken out, in two and a hall
months. gold to the value of over
$4,000.
Clarence Berry of Fresno. Cal,
went to the Yukon in 1890, and pros.
pected several years without success.
He returned home last autumn, was
married and took his bride to the
Klondyke last November. He is
now on the Portland with $135. 900,
the result of a winters work and
fortunes smile.
Frank Phiscator of Raetoda. Mich,
is another lucky miner. He went
to the Klondyke last autumn, and is
now returning with 500, 900, having
worked two claims with nine men,
three months, and he still owns the
claims. He was one of the original
discoveries of Ell Dorado district.
Although most of the passengers
are returning home with plenty of
gold, they all advise and urge peo-
pie who contemplate going to the
Yukon not to think of taking in less
than one ton of grub and plenty of
clothing. While it is poor mans
country, yet the bardships and pri-
vations to be encountered by the
inexperienced persons unused to
frontier life are certain to result in
much suffering.
P. R. Weare, vice-president of the
North American Trading company,
whose headquarters are at Chicago,
is receiving hundreds of letters ask.
ing information regarding the gold
fields. In reply to the numerous
inquiries he gave the following to

''The boats which sail from Seattle this

That means that any one who wants to go

Alaska is-Whst the Yukon is. They will
need map to convince them of the truth
that the country Of the Yukon and its
tributaries in Alaska and British America
is as large as the whole United States
east of the Mississippl-that it is logger
than trip to Europe before they reach the
Bering sea and the mouth of the Yukon;
that by the time they strike the Yukon the
Alaskan Arctic winter will he upon them.
"By September Goth the winter settles
down, and the Yukon country is frozen
till next May. The expense Of getting
from Chicago to Seattle is 500 and from
Seattle to the Ber'ng sea $3.50. There will
he thousands Of Eastern men who will
go, but OF course the coast people have
in their favor. One thing must
he remembered. that the Klondyke coun-
try is in British domain"
