I think the citizens Of Dawson have
all within the last "a hours heaved a
sigh Of relief. Tho mail, after all kinds
OF rumors, has come at last It came by

brighter eyes and lighter hearts because
OF news from the loved ones at home.
More than eight weeks ago we learned
that Governor General Walsh and es.

miles up the Yukon, and every one be.

every tongue. But week after week. sped
by and no mail Finally came the ru-

gone into winter quarters neal .Pelly

sick when forced to realize that all
news Of the outside was cut of until
the river opened in spring. But they
are here. thank fortune, they are herel
We learn that the impression is strong
in the States that there is likely to be
much suffering here for want Of food
before spring. Ihope you will strenuous.
~ deny this report Such is really not
the case. There are many prospectors,, Of
course, who are short Of some particular
kind Of food, such as fresh meat, but
ter, sugar and evaporated fruit, etc.,
but I am sure there will be no actual
want for bacon, beans, rice, cornmeal,
oatmeal, etc. Spring is near already,
and there has not been one case of hun
ger on record.
The general health is excellent. There
are not very many cases of scurvy or
fever, and the winter has been fine.

Quoted and reduced these to the form

scarcely probable that it would DO will

in the difficulties that would follow

There must be a delay-possibly from

and Spain by tho attachment of the

tocol it is stated on authority that the

dents conditions published from the

fact it is deduced. that the extra condi-
lions or qualifications sought to be i'm.
posed by the Spanish government were
abandoned, ut least in large part. by
the French ambassador. It is believed
that the protocol carries within itself

WASHINGTON, Feb. Secretary
Wilson Of the agricultural department
has returned 10 the city from "A weeks

suggestion Of the president TO study the
product ions Of that country. In an IN.
terview concerning his observations
there the secretary spoke as follows:

found in Florida was the growth Of tho
tobacco interest. Within the last few
years 10000 Cubans have come over
from their native country, many Of
whom had been life long tobacco grow.

business very rapidly. The state sta.
tistics show that the Cubans sold last

tobacco in all Is form brought Cuban 5
$4,000, o00. The United States still

ing the history Of the agreement by

I'VE were all very glad" said Mr..
Harris. that the government received
its just due, and nobody has more cor
daily congratulated the present admin.
istration than upon the successful me-
gotiation Of that transaction.
1t was also hoped. Mr.. Harris said.
that the government would get full
value for the debt due from the Kansas
Pacific branch. In case the reorgani.
zation committee should decline to pay
the full amount due, about $l3, ,OOO, 900,
1t was tho understanding that the gov
ernment would redeem the first mort.
gage bonds and have the road operated
by receiver. That would show the
value of the property, which Mr.. Har.
rls believed was quite $50. 900. 900. The
reorganization committee. Mr.. Harris
said, had evidently succeeded in OBJ
tanning from the attorney general such
concessions rs had been outlined in
press dispatches and the government is
to stand idly by aud sec the enormous
sum of 90. 100000 of interest sacri
feed. The value Of the property,
Mr.. Harris thought. was Il
most important consideration. Tht
reorganization committee aud the
Union Pacific officials had made an
effort to minimize the value of til,
road. 1T is particularly significant,
said Mr.. Harris, "that the statement
of the reorganization committee ane
tho officials of the Union Pacific re
Cardng the value Of the main line hav,
been proved by subsequent events to b.
untrue"
