these heights there Ia no peace. The ele-
would not be surmountable were it not
for the Valdes Pass Even that, with its
mighty glacier and treacharous crevasses,
is fearfully dangerous. But it is the only
way through.
The Valdes Pass lies to the west of the
Klondike and Skaguay trails. At its
highest point it is 1850 feet above tide
water. 10 reach it's barren summit con-
tiuous upward climb of twsnty -four miles
must be made. Tie descent is about
twelve miles in length.
Every man who starts to cross the
lacier is warned by the guides to make
his pack as small and as light as possible.
Scarcely any, however, starts who is not
too heavily loaded. The guides cannot

to cross the glacier without guides. One
wrong step caused them to plunge through
the snow crust, and from visions of gilt

lacerated bodies.
The most needful and most difficult
thing to find on the glacier Is timber for
Hrewood. 1t must be hauled twenty -four
miles in one direction or twelve miles in
the other. Its price on the glacier Is ten
cents a pound. With such price, even

We observe that the Hawaiian commits
s1oners suggest the deporting of the Chin.
csc from the Sandwich islands on the
ground that they are not lawfully there.
This doesn't look to us like doing our
full duty to the heathen. The Chinese
were in Hawaii long before we annexed
it. They are part of the population OF
the country just.as much as the Malay
pirates who came originally from Borneo
are part of tn 10 population of the Philip
pine islands. They are just as worthy of
conversion as the TagAls or the Sulus.
Our obligation to them is just as great
If we deport them to China we greatly
lessen their chances of ever being Chris
tianized, because the Empress DOwager
who rules over the Flowery kingdom is
violently opposed to all innovations
whether religious, or social, CT CONNER
cial, and wouli be likely to out their
heads off If they should renounce the re-
ligion of Confucius. To turn these peo-
people hack to the tyranny and oppression
of the Empress Dowager, is worse than to
hand back the Filipinos to Spain, and to
do that it has been declared by eminent
authority would cover our country with
infamy.i The only offence the Chinese In
Hawaii are guilty of is that of working
more cheaply and living more oheaply
than white men. But they ought not to
be turned over to barbarism for that. We
should elevate them, by securing to them
higher wages and teaching them to live
better. To deport them is to shirk re.
sponsibilities and obligations imposed
upon us by Providence.

SNOW HABIT OF FAR NORTH .
Mania Holds Its Victims as Firmly as
Does Opium Eating.

Every great discovery in the worlds
history has brought with it an accom-,
panying affection, and it has remained
for the Klondike to develop peculiar
mania that threatens to outrival opium
eating.
Among the residents of the far north ii
is known as the "snow habit, and it il
said to be incurable. Henry Barnum OF
Great Bend township has returned from
the Klondike, and tells the strange story.
There are many strange things in the
Klondike, said Mr.. Barnum, 'but
perhaps the strangest. and that about
which nothing has been written SO far,
is the dissipation caused by eating snow.
In the north, when the thermometer
reaches thirty to forty degrees below zero,
q mouthful of snow Is like molten metal
1t brings an Inflammation to the palate
and tongue, and it is impossible to take
enough to quench the thirst. There are
men in that country, once hearty, robust
miners now weak creatures, whose fall
can be traced directly to the time they
began munching snow.
HThe matter has been but little invest
gated, but the scientists who have exam
ined the subject say that the waters of tbs
north are rich with mineral deposits
which are rich being constantly washed
down from the mountains. Akcertain pei
cent of the mineral is taken into the air
when vapor rises. and the snow becomes
impregnated with it, Thus 1t can be
seen that person eating largs quantities
of the snow takes into his system cor.
responding amount of minerals.
While coming down the Copper river
last spring Mr.. Barnum came upon a
party of miners where one was dying
from the effects of eating snow. He had
been hard drinker. but had run short
of whisky. His thirst became unendura-
BILE, and as water was scarce in midwin-
tor, he had taken to eating snow.
Soon he claimed 1t relieved his appetite
for liquor, but his companions noticed
that his appetitefor snow increased, until
he was consuming enormous quantities.
Gradually mis- skin, which was dark
bronze, grew light, his rugged stature
became bent, and even his harsh voice
changed to the squeak of an old woman.
He would lie on his pallet and III loan
pisfully for mouthful of snow, and
when opportunity offered would steal I'M
observed TO the doorway and gulp DOWN
huge handfuls One morning, just pre-
vious 60 Mr. Bnrnum's departure the man
was found dead.
There are some spots on the Copper
river where the snow, when melted and
strained through cloth, shows percepti-
| bIe signs of minerals, and often gold is
found plentifully intermixed, but, of
course, not In paying quantities
Where this comes from is mystery
but it may BIZ brought from the far north
by the heavy winter gales that sweep over
this part of the country 1t has been said
that if the snow could be melted away
1t would leave deposits of millions of
dollars in gold dust on the gr0u nd.--New

Though the steamer PentaRoet, recently

that she WAS staunoh one having been

when she was taken into the service of

had been examined by the government
inspectors, who certified that she was In
good condition and safe for the route on
which she was being run. Some recent
publications in regard to her have left
the impression that she was not suitable

Senator Allison is quoted as saying that
I'VE cannot afford to stultify ourselves in

the work of the commissioners. This
remark Ia made without even knowing
what the work of the commissioners is.
1t is practically declaration that the
senate should ratify the treaty simply be
cause our commissioners have made If
without regard to what iG contains. Prac-
tically Senator Allison advises the senate
to abdicate Its power and duty under the
constitution and become a mere register

American senate could hardly afford to
stultify itself in the face of the American
people by following Mr.. Allison's advice.

OTIS OFF FOR MANILA
The Major General to Sail
Next Week--Troops for
Honolulu.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 9, 1Sss.-Major
General Otis will hasten his departure for
Manila, in accordance with instructions
from Washington He may go en- either
the Peru or City of Puebla, which are
expected to sail not later than the midi
die of next week, without waiting for the
other vessels now being prepared for use
as TRANSPORTS.
On reaching Manila General Otis Will
probably assume command Of all the
troops In the field, leaving General AIer-
rift free to take charge of his duties as
Governor General. 1t is stated tha<
Brigadier General H. C. Otis will accom-
pany~ Major Gen. Otis, and that Gen. Mill
Ter will assume charge of the troops re-
manning here. The eighth California regi-
ment is likely to be sent to Honolulu 10
garrison that city.
1t can be prepared for such service in
a few days and its departure would not
weaken the Philippine expeditionary
forces now here. The choice lies be-
tween this regiment and the Sixth Cali
fornia, supplemented by the Washington
Volunteers. The arrival of fifteen recruits
from Kansas will more than fill the
Signal Corps, and it will likely so with
the next expedition.
The Utah troops have received their
final equipments but are still short twen-
ty-one horses. Strict orders have been
issued for the sanitary Improvement OF
