The Senate recently passed resolu-
ton presented by Senator Stewart, ask
ing for statistics concerning the Star
Route Mail Service. The report of the
Department affords abundant food for
thought Out of 8, 800 contracts award
ed, 3, lis were awarded to only II indi-
yiduals, and as several of these men are
associated together, it becomes evident
that the great majority OF these con-
tracts are controlled by very few men.
How these men get the information
which enables them to underbid all
competitors ON SO large n number of
contracts is mystery which will well
stand Investigating. Can IL be that
they have friends in high places who
furnish them with information not open
to the general public? During the past
four years the Government paid 81,
2S9, 1855 50 on contracts which were SUBJ
contracted for 81, 147, 610 so, leaving a
net profit to the twelve men who con-
trolled them of s142, 145 90 per annum.
For this money the Government re-
ceived no returns and the public suffer-
ed to that extent in the service rendered
by the subcontractors. This condition
of affairs can only be changed by a
change of the law, and Senator Stewart
should prove that his resolution was
no. simply an election dodge by follow
ing 1t up with bill to correct the evil.

Should Spain oountenance privateer-
ing by her subjects upon the commerce
OF she Upited States with other coun-
tries, she is likely to stir up hornets
nest about her ears. The nations OF
Europe noed our products, especially
our grain and meats. 1t is not at all
likely that they would stand idly by
and see their provision supplies cut off
TO satisfy SPANS desire for plumber.
Furthermore, Spain will have to pay
for all she destroys, when the war is
over, 50 what viii she gain? She viii
be wise II she meets the Uniten States
half way and agrees not to meddle with
our commerce except when she finds
goods contraband OF war.

Interna tionaI Mining Congress.

The second session Of the interna-
tional mining congress, organized in
Denver one year ago, will be held in
Salt Lake City, July 9th to 9th. This
is an organization created to promote
the interests OF miners, and properly
conducted, may be made of great inn
portance to all OF the West. Its first
session In Denver suggested and recon-
mended several sslutary changes in our
mining laws, and through It's deliber-
atoms it is probable that many alter
atlons may be affected in tho c13c and
regulations governing he mining inter
ests.

chairman, Juno Ventura, at daylight
this morning 16 miles from Key West
and sent her into port with prize
crew.
The Navy Department has decided
not to send the Flying Squadron to in
tercept the Spanish Flotilla. 1t is not
thought it is strong enough. Spain
controls the Cape Verde cable and no
reliance is placed on the dispatch that
the fleet left Cape Verde yesterday. 1t
may have gone several days sooner.

slers for all kinds OF staples fell off very
little last week. The speculative mar

tinue easy and most OF the banks of the

at all probable that the internal busi-
ness of the country viii be seriously in

Clipperton Island Once
More Is Advertised.
Governor Freeth Was After Il Oace
Title Not CIear-It Is Claimed
Now BY Mexico.

Clipperton Island is again attracting
attention al San Francisco. It VIII be
remembered that Capt c. d. Freeth
Of Honolulu was there about TWO years
ago and it was rumOred that he was
negotiating for possession Of the island
4 local concern also looked into the
matter of leasing the property at the
same time. There was then and still
is a question as TO the ownership of
the island. II seems TO be claimed in
an indefinite way by the United States,
Mexico and Great Britain. At one
time ownership absolute was claimed
by Hawaiian parties.
TheO. Gusmann. who has figured in
most of the sensations caused by the
island in one way and another. has
returned from Clipperton after a con-
tinuous stay of thirteen months there
While there he flew the American flag
and figured in a heroic light by refus-
ing to haul it down when ordered TO
do so by the Mexican cruiser Demo-
crata. OF the incident and the island
Mr.. Gusmann says:
L went down from San Francisco a
year ago last month, and have been
employed in getting out phosphate for
the Pacific Islands Fertilizer Company.
Although ClippertOn is not very pre-
possessing and is of no value, except
for the fertiliZing material, l hOisted
the American flag soon after my ar
rival. 1t remained in the breeze until
December 18th last, when officers from
the Mexican man-Of-war Democratic
took it down and ran up a Mexican flag
in its place. | was taken on board the
Democratic, and, much to my surprise,
was appointed Mexican colonial agent
for the Island. AS soon as the Demo-
crata passed out of sight beyond the
horizon, however l hauled down the
flag, and since then no flag has f1Oated
over Clipperton, though l believe the
island really belongs to Mexico.
THE whole island is overrun with
crabs from one to six inches long, and
they make sleeping out of doors at
night almost impossible. although the
weather is almost unbearably hot"

Unflinchlng Bravery of an Officer Well Known
in Hawaii-He Has a
Fine Record EE

The war produced few pluckier pas
sages than the landing of Colonel
Huntington's marines at Guantanamo
bay, a few days before Skaters army
sailed from Tampa. The place of land
ing was a low, round, bush covered
hill on the eastern side of the bay. On
the crest of this hill was a small clear
ing in the chaparral occupied by an
advanced post of the enemy, who re-
treated to the woods when the marines
landed and climbed the hill. Unfor-
tunately, the clearing occupied by the
marines was covered, save at it's crest,
with a dense growth of bushes and

scrubs. and was commanded by a
range of higher hills little further
to the eastward. Thus the Spaniards,
who soon plucked up courage, were
able not only to creep close up to our
camp under cover of the bushes, but
to fire upon it from the higher slopes
of the wooded range. The marines re-
piled vigorously to the fire of their
hidden foe, and there ensued a hit or
miss engagement which continued,
with an occasional intermission, for
four days and nights. Finally, how
ever, the marines managed to cut
away the chaparral around the crest
of the hill so as to enlarge the clear
ing. in which they planted half dozen
rapid fire guns; and on the fourth day
of the long fight the Spaniards gave
up the contest and abandoned the
field.
Major Henry c. COcbrane, second in
command of the marines, says in his
official report that he slept only an
hour and half in the four days, and
that many of his men became so eX-
hausted that they fell asleep standing
on their feet with their rifles in their
hands. Major COchrane, whose BRAY
cry in the face of desperate and unseen
odds is sure to be duly and generously
rewarded, is a veteran OF the Civil
War, and has been an officer of ma
rines since 1868. He is a native of
Chester. Pennsylvania, and entered
the navy as mere boy at the first
call to arms in 1861. AS soon as he
reached the necessary age he was
transferred to the marine corps and
saw active service on blockade duty

sissippi River, and in the Gulf

Canadian Authorities Will Collect
Royalty.


SEATTLE, Wash, Sept 6.-William
Ogilvie, with a force of retainers, has
reached Skagway on his way to Daw-
son, where he supercedes Maj. Walsh
as Yukon Commissioner. He is wait
ing at Skagway until he can get his
freight from Victoria. With him are
his secretary and valet, a timber in
spector, mining inspector, an official
prosDectOr and other sub-Otticials. They
are to supplement the much-OYer-
worked force now at Dawson.
At Skagway Commissioner Ogilvie
was waited on by a party OF miners
Just out from the interior. They
wanted to know whether or not Ogil-
vie intended to collect the royalty. He
told them plainly, it is reported, say
ing:
THE royalty. is the law of the land
and [ certainly intend to collect the
full 10 per cent on all output over the
$4,000 exemption. see no reason why
the royalty should not be collected.
have no option in the matter, having
been sent to Dawson to enforce these
laws"
Ogilvie gave the miners to under.
stand that there was nothing in the
report that the Government had re-
duced the royalty to > per cent, which
rumor had reached the interior from
some source or other. He said that
Mai. Walsh had taken many things or
himself, and that the former Commits
sioner did not have all the power he
claimed to have. Commissioned OgiI-
vie refused to discuss other features Of
the KlOndike situation.
