she would do, says the Nav York
Evening Post, it m ust be accompanied
with distinct understanding that it
is hut a preliminary to her asking for
peace on the best terms we will grant.
Otherwise our government would be
quite wrong to entertain the propo-
sition. Our aim should be to end this
war with the least delay possible: and
an armistice, without the clearesr I'M
derstanding that it meant an uncon.
dItiunal request for peace, would be
only SO much more delay. Moreover,
an armistice in a complicated war like
this. wheie fleets and tronp-s lips are il

We call attention to the declaration
made by the Democratic State Com
mittee, at its session in Dover on Fri
day, which will be found in the pro-
ceedings OF the meeting printed on an
other page of this issue.
This declaration is an emphatic one
in favor of sustaining the constitu tiunal
and legal provisions With respect to safe
guarding registrations and elections,
especially those intended to prevent
bribery and corruption, and recommends
the employ ment of all agencies Of
the party in the direction of stringent
enforcement OF the same.
1t will probably be urged that this
declaration was made for purely partisan
effect, but it 10 good one, none the
leas. We believe the COMMITTEES wac
aincora in its utterancr. and we also
believe that il will be sustained by
the honest sentiment OF the Democratic
party of the State.
Now, let the two Republican parties,
through their State organizations,
make similar declarations. and follow
them up with actions that will indicate
their sincerity.
We believe that the psoplc OF the
State are thoroughly in favor Of honest
registrations and elections. and the
party that sincerely adopts a policy il
accordance with this undoubted desire
will Htand the best chance Of securing
nublic confidence and public suffrage
We behave, also, that public sentimen
is in favor of enforcing to the letts
these wholesome provisions agains
bribery and other corrupt practices a
elections, and will secure the vigorous
prosecution and punishment OF of
Tenders. 1t will DO well for politica
corruptionists to take due notice ant
govern themselves accordingly.

OUTFITTING FOR ALASKA
Z. q. Wood Tells Some Facts Gained
From Experience.

is no doubt that of the two trails the Dyea
trail is by far the preferable.
,-o bearing on the gossip which has been
quitting on this or the other side Of the Ua
Canadian boundry line, Mr. Wood has the
following to say:
=. There is considerable talk concerning the
canadian duties which are levied on miners

S %here the prospector enters the territory
ana others are equally certain the Canadian
collector grasps the whole outfit if there is

facts concerning the duty is simply that the
miner must have provisions enough to last

An outfit purchased in Canada goes through
American territory in bond; but all parties
with Canadian outfits are ACCOMPANIED
f through a Alaska to the Canadian line by a
United States inspector at their expense The
inspector is paid Sc day by them as long
as they are in Alaska. and it is his duty to
prevent them from disposing of whisky or
any other portion of their outfits on the
American side.
AS far Quitting is concerned. Victoria
and Vancouver are inadequate to supply
Alaskan miners with outfits The merchants
there carry small stocks, and a rush would
swamp them. The little town of Juneau can
and will outfit more people than the two
Canada cities together. 1t is practically a
stand-off between Seattle and Victoria prices.
An outfit purchased in Seattle, with the Can
adam duty added. will scarcely exceed the
cost of an outfit bought in Canada with the
United States inspectors fees attached and
even if the cost is more the Klondker gets
the benefit of superior packing, and this is
an invaluable feature. Il have visited all of
the above mentioned cities quietly and there
is no guesswork that Seattle is more thor
oughly an Quitting point than any other
city on the Pacific COAST

On Trial on the Last of All Indict-
ments Against Him.


ments Against Him.
The trial of William F. Bickel on the last
indictment hanging over his head, that
charging him with the larceny of the Nusser
notes, began yesterday forenoon. There were
rev spectators present the case, apparently
attracting little interest.
w. H. Mcdonald appeared as counsel for
Mr.. Bickel, and County Attorney Anderson
sat IN the prosecutors chair. The work of
securing jury began about II a. NJ, and so
rapidly did 1t progress that when court ad-
1ourned for the noon recess ten jurors had
been obtained.
In the afternoon the jury box was filled in
less than ten minutes. The complete jury
comprises the following citizens:
George w. Dilley, Charles L. Englin, Frank
D. Freeman. Homer H. Hoyt Abraham A.
Davis, A. P. Hendrickson, A. M. Lambie,
Herbert R. George NJ. ]. Klaus, Joseph NJ.
Hanson, Charles Hallowell, E. N. Kirk.
Owing to the fact that Attorney Mcdonald
was afflicted with a throat, rendering it
difficult for him to speak, court adjourned
at his request until 10 N. today.
Mr. Anderson suggested to the court that
as John w. Nusser Sr. could not talk Eng
lish, an interpreter ought to be provided
Mr.. Mcdonald did not think an interpreter
would be necessary, but the court appointed
Charles Passavant interpreter.
In all probability today will witness the be-
ginning and the end of the trial proper. 1t
is understood that the county attorney will
place Mr.. Nusser, the complaining witness,
on the stand, and that Mr.. Nusser will tes-
