SAN DIEGO, Jan. 1S.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) Miss Katie Wyatt, a res
ident of this city, has taken steps to Sc
cure the partition of half of the estate
of the late Giles Bushnell of New York
city, who died thirty-six years ago,
possessed of considerable property,
which, through the growth of New York,
has greatly increased in value. Bush
nell left half of his estate to his wife and
children and the other half to his three
brothers and twenty-eight residuary
legatees, who were to come into possess
sion of the property only after the
death of the last surviving brothers.
This death occurred last July, and since
that time steps have been taken to have
the estate distributed to these legatees,
of whom Mrs. Wyatt is one, estimating
her share at $250,000.

The other letter was from Frank New
man, who left Santa Barbara with the
first rush, and was the only one of sew
eral from this city who succeeded in
getting to Klondike last fall by way of
Dyea and the pass. He writes from
Stewart river, sixty-nine miles up the
Yukon from Dawson. 1t was the first
news from him since he left his party
on Chilcoot pass last October, the others
having lost their provisions in the wash
out and being compelled to return.
He reports that many are destitute
and are getting out the best way they
can. The country is greatly over
estimated and there is much disappoint-
ment. The bonanza region is within a
radius of sixty miles of Dawson, and all
good claims are taken. He has three
claims that promise well, and with pro-
visions sufficient to keep him several
months, will remain until next summer
at least.

SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 1S.-(Regu-
lar Correspondence Two Santa Bar
bara families, who have relatives in
Klondike, have just received letters from
the Alaska mining district. While both
writer's seem phapy and contented, they
tell Of the privations and disappoint-
ments of others.
One Of the letters is from Capt. Geo.
F. Ellis, a poor man three years ago,
in search of position. At San Fran
cisco he became acquainted with an
Alaska trading company, and was Of
fered a dreary outpost in the North
west territory. He accepted. Two years
ago he left his family in this city and
started for the Yukon. At Dawson he
was placed in charge of store for his
company, and in this capacity he re-
mained for a year or more. When gold
was first discovered he was on the scene
He staked out claim and then Sc
cured others. He had his pick and now
he is called millionaire. Probably he
is not worthEhat much, but he counts
his wealth by the hundreds of thousands.
Fifteen thousand dollars was yielded
from his mines every day during the
past season, and there is more in the
ground.
Yet Capt. Ellis writes OF discomfort,
destitution and disappointment among
others less fortunate than himself. His
letter reads as follows:

The United States army Is not very
large, powerful or imposing organiza-
ton in comparison with any of the arm
les maintained by the leading powers
of Europe. II is n curious fact that
there are In the service of this govern
ment more than twice MS many post
masters, for example, as there are en-
listed soldiers. In other words. the
United States has not an army large
enough to permit of policy Of plac-
ing one soldier at every post Office in the
United States in time of some sudden
emergency, and even II the strength OF
the army were doubled it's force would
still be insufficient for such q pur-
pose.
This condition of affairs liz not pleas
ing to military men generally, and
army officers have many times consid-
cred the advisability of the adoption OF
some system by which the strength of
the army in some sudden emergency
could be increased. The prize essay Of

According TO this essay. the hest sys-

gency of war would be one which had
been mapped out in advance, and for
the proper working of which some
preparation had previously been made.
The essay proposes in effect that the

call for force of about 435. 900 men,

OF these 36t regiments the greater
part would naturally be infantry. II
Is proposed, for example. that

of heavy artillery. 30 of light

OF these regiments would he commits

The unpleasant quality of the Amer
lean voice is matter of tradition. aud
we have learned TO expect uncompli-
mentary comments upon it at every
turn. 1t is refreshing and encouraging
to read the following by well known
writer: Thoughtful Americans are
getting tired Of the endless slur upon
American speaking voices. To be sure
the majority of American women arc
not educated in converts. where to
speak above a subdued murmur is cor
sidered rude and hoydenish; but the
majority of American women are edu-
Gated in schools where refinement is the
rule, the atmospheres Of which are IA
vorable to gentleness, dignity and sweet
ness of expression. The American voice
as compared with the German, French
or Italian female voice. putting them
rank against rank, k,isinconceivably is more
beautiful. The American voice is more
gracefully modulated and speaks less ir
chromatic progressions. In cadence the
voice of the American woman is vastly
more melodious as it is also sweeter and
rurer in qnality."-St. Louis Republic.
