Capt Chase Clark and other officers

ship in good condition. The Oregon
left San Francisco on March 10, ar

on April Z, and passed Sandy Point on

Bahia on May 8 and touched at
Barbados on May 1s. At the
latter place the war ship was quar-.
antined, but she was only detained
one day. The battle ship arrived off
Jupiter Light on May "a and then
communicated with Washington. The
Oregon picked up the cruiser Marietta
and dynamite cruiser Nictheroy be-

parted company with them after q. few

crew of the Oregon had suffered much
from the heat in passing twice through
the tropics "All the way along" he

Collins decided to kill his sheep. He
killed and sold 600. and received nearly

His stay had been so prolonged that
the young men had become weary Of

imagining Dawson TO be only a few
miles away, had started for that city
to enjoy some Of the pleasures a met

M'klNlEY STRADDLcS.
The Presidents Attitude On ehA
Money Question.

TO sooner has President Mckinley
delivered himself Of most emphatic ut
teranccs on the financial question in
his New York after-dinner speech than
al the newspaper editors in the country
fall TO qrarreling with each other over
what the speech meant.
There is no other man in the United
States who can say SO much that sounds
convincing while he is saying IL and
which means so many different things
when II Is said. This gift may be
gratifying 10 the president. but il is the
cause Of much anguish of spirit on the
part Of his friends.
In New York the president. with ear
nest and impressive words, pledged the
government as follows:
Nothing should ever tempt us. moth
Ing ever will tempt us. 10 scale down the
sacred debt of the nation through a legal
| technically. Whatever may be the Ian
guage Of the contract, the United States
will discharge all its obligations in
the currency recognized as best
throughout the civilized world at the
time Of payment"
This declaration has set the gold clique
wild with JOY as proof positive that
the president was at last thoroughly
committed TO the monometallic gold
theory of currency. For the moment,
doubtless. the president thought he was
believer in the single gold standard.
but he did not confne himself to the
statement quoted.
With true Mckinley evasion he wan
dered on and away from the narrow
golden gate and said: 1--WE are, there
fore, opposed to the free coinage of sill
YER except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations OF
the world, which we pledge ourselves TO
promote"
Thus, by quoting the republican plat
form. the president cast down the high
hopes Of the gold advocates and, III the
forceful but inelegant language of the
gambling table, may be said 10 have
"stradded" the financial question.
Everybody seems to be agreed thatthe
president delivered very important
speech In New York the other night.
Everybody says IL will go ringing
around the world. But no two people
can be found who can agree on exactly
what position the president took on
the currency question.-Chicago Dis

The universal article of diet in that

peculiar climate of cold and dampness

These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska and
the Yukon country TO know. for should
he be persuaded by some outftter to
take one of the cheap brands of baking
powder, 1t will cost just as much to
transport ii. and then when he opensit
for use, after all his labor in packing II
over the long and difficult route. he will
find a solid caked mass or lot of spoiled
powder, with no strength and useless.
Such mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food. or try to

in such climate, and under the trying
