The Rush to Klondike

and Alaska for 1898 has begun. 1t will
not be necessary to endure the terri
BILE hardships or pay the excessive
packing rates in making the trip this
year that it was in 1897. A good
rail and tramway is now in operation
across the Chilkoot pass, a wagon road
hewed out of solid rock extends from
Skaguay to the top of White pass and
a tramway is in operation around
White Horse Rapid. The number of
steamers between Puget's Sound and
Dyea and Skaguay and on the Yukon
has been so increased that there is now
a large fleet.
The new routes via Cooks inlet and
Prince William Sound and Valdes Pass
to the headwaters of the Copper and
Tanina rivers opens not only a large
and rich gold and copper country near
the coast, but also gives access to the
Dawson City region as we'll.
The Northern Pacific has the latest
and best Klondike and Alaska map and
folder published. 1t is up to date in
steamer sailings and also contains the
latest and most authentic information
obtainable. Send Chas. s. Fee. Gen

A Good Dictionary for Two Cent.

A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.
A dictionary containing the defini-
lions of 10000 of the most useful and
important words in the English Ian
guage, is published by the DIR. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, New York.
While it contains some advertising, it
is a complete dictionary, concise and
correct.
In compiling this book care has been
taken to omit none of those common
words whose spelling or exact use oc-
casions at times a momentary difficulty,
even to we'll educated people. The
main aim has been to give as much
useful information as possible in a linn
tied space. With this in view, where
noun, adjective and verb are all obvi-
ously connected in meaning, usually
one only has ueen inserted. The vol
ume will thus be found to contain the
meaning ofvery many mor words than
it processes to explain.
To those who already have a diction-
airy, this book will commend itself be-
cause it is compact, light and convent
ent; to those who have no dictionary
whatever, it will be invaluable. One
may be secured by writing to the above
concern, mentioning this paper, and
enclosing q 2 c. stamp.

Failure of the Bonding Provision I'm

SeriOus Em ha rYa ssmenf.

WASHINGTON, May Sat the cabinet
meeting today. besides the war situation
in its general aspect, there was some dis
ctission Of the relative merits of persons
seeking brigad;er-geneTalsh.ps and other
commissions in the army. The president
expressed himself very prcnouncediy as
opposed to tho appointment TO such re-
sponsible positions OF those who had no
military experience.
One feature of the session was a dis
cussion CT the altitude of the senate in
providing the '.sinews OF war; for defray-
Ing the expenditures of the war. Tire
president has received positive informal
ton that the senate committee on finance.
which Il still struggling with the war rev.
enue bill. will report the measure with
the bond Issue eliminated.
This fact Is causing the administration
much uneasiness and embarrassment
and the statement is made that the posi-
bliity or adverse action OF the full body
OF the senate is a source Of much anxiety
The president laid before the cabinet the
Information he had. as to what is to be
looked 10: from the senate, and while not
expressing absolute confidence In favora-
Bile action by the senate with the bond
feature reincorporated, expressed the hope
that there would be a satisfactory ma
jority for the bond provision.
Should 1t not become a part OF the law
many urgent appropriations for the war
will have to be held back. The money
to be secured from bond sales. 1t is re-
ported, is needed imperatively for the
execution Of the plans mapped out. and
adverse action by the senate would be
likely to interfere unless the money is
otherwise provided. and by as speedy a
method as the Issuance Of bonds. The ad-
ministration is anxious 10 impress this
fact upon congress, so that ample reve-
nties may be at hand for vigorous prose-
cution Of the war.
There was considerable qualification evil
dent at the session at the general war out
look. There was strong belief that the
Spanish Acct. instead Of sailing across the
seas TO intercept the Oregon or to ccme
over into the waters near home 10 begin
operations would be found eventually
to be now progressing for some point closer
to its own possessions on the other side of
the pond. While there is great reliance
on the part Of all members of the admin
istration on the subject. there Is excellent
authority for the statement that the in
structions OF Admiral Sampson give him
great latitude
