WASHINGTON. Aug. lS.-It Is not be-
heved by officials of the government
that any serious hardships will be i'm
posed by Canada upon American miners
in the KIondyke gold regions. 1t il
pointed out that il would be difficult to
enforce any serious impositiOns upon
the miners.
Such u coursS might result IN retalia-
tion enforced BY the United States so
as TO make it almost impossible for the
Canadians to go. or return from the
klondyke country. If this country
should prevent Canadian officials from
entering the klondyke through Amerl-
can territory they would be obliged to
reach the gold country over thousands
of miles of unexplored country.
While il is said there has been no cor
respondence bearing directly on the
point of impositions upon the Ameri-
can miners there it is intimated that
Canada desires TO be very friendly as
TO northwestern conditions, and that
there is a dispositions to cooperate so
as to furtner the best interests of all
concerned.
Ii is stated that in imposing the 10
per cent royalty on the gold output
equally on Canadians and Americans,
the United States can have no cause of
complaint.

: PIECE o. news of the utmost import

freely printed in Republican newspapers
This piece of news is that duIlng the

culture. And while exports of manufac-
lures were increasing forty-seven mil

Now that the protection" has been
arranged ana imposed and is being col

one year hence, how much the new tar

kiOndike Fever Abating.

San Francisco, August 13 During
the past week the KIondike fever has
abated somewhat in this city, owing pro.
baby to the discouraging reports receiv.
ed from Dyea. There are plenty of peo-
pie who announce their intention of try
ing the Chilcoot route in the spring, and
of those who are anxious to go at once a
large proportion seem disposed to travel
via st. Michael's and up the Yukon.
Promoters of expeditions by this route
are ready with profuse assurances that
the trip can be made before the closing
of navigation, but in all cases they are
careful not to bind themselves in any
way to take passengers through this fall.
At the offices of the steamship compan-
les it is reported that inquiry for tickets
is diminishing.
