DISGUSTED MINERS RETURN,
There Are More Men Than Can Find
Work at Skaguay.

Victoria, B. c., Feb. l0.-A special
from Nanaimo states the steamer Noyo
has arrived there from Skaguay. She has
20 disguised passengers aboard, tired OF
the country after their first experience,
and severely denouncing the Klondike
rush. The treasure on board amounts to
$4,000. One of the passengers said 200
men could do all the work offered at
Skaguay and there were at least 500
men there who had nothing to do but
drink and gamble. When the Noyo pass
ed, the position of the Corona was more
critical han heretofore reported The
Noyo had no communication with the
wrecked passengers on Lewis island.

AN INSULT TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Recall of Minister De LONE Is
Considered Certain.

Washington, Feb. lO.-The publication
in what is supposed to be an autograph
letter written by Senior De LONE, the
Spanish minister, to his friend, Canelejas
criticising the president with the utmost
freedom, caused a sensation in official
Washington and soon will be followed
by Minister De Lome's departure from the
United States.
In this letter the Spanish minister re-
fers to President Mckinley as "weak and
catering 10 the rabble," and as slow
politician, who desires to stand well with
the jingoes of his party"

THAT DE LONE LETTER AGAIN
No Direct Disclaimer Has Been as
Yet Made by Spain.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
The De LONE incident is still unsettled.
The cipher dispatch received from Min.
lister Woodford was not entirely satisfac-
tory. 1t was taken to the president BY
Assistant Secretary Day, and after short
conference between them Mr.. Day sent
another cablegram to Minister Woodford.
Officially nothing will be said about
these two communications further than
that the incident is not yet entirely closed.
1t is said that Minister Woodford's cable
was a report of his interview with the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs, which
showed that no direct disclaimer had been
made by Spain of that feature of the De
LONE letter which has been interpreted to
indicate the insincerity of the Spanish
government in the matter of autonomy
and in the negotiations for a commercial
treaty.
Absence Of such disclaimer is not en-
tirely satisfactory to the president. Mr.
Mckinley believes that when the Spanish
minister of foreign affairs fully appreci-
ates the Interpretation which has been
put upon De Lome's letter in some quar-
tiers in the United States, he will hasten
to disavow it. Minister Woodford has
been told in positive way what the presi.
dent would like TO have done. In other
words, it is said he will use delicate diplo-
macy to secure the end desired, and the
president is sincere in the belief that an
other interview between Minister Wood
ford and the minister for foreign affairs
in Madrid i'll end the whole trouble !

Not a Sunday School Story.

Story books are full of tales that
tell of the success OF the good boy
aud the sad fate of the other one.
This is story which the books for
little boys and giils never will con-
tain. buG it is true
Some years ago a young man
came up to Chicago from the country
and secured position with prom
inent Dearborn street bank. 1t was
not lopg before he had risen to be a
teller. But he did not save his
money. That worried his father,
who finally wrote to him:
"Dear George: If you will show
me a bank account of $500 at the
end of this year L will give you $500
more"
George continued his usual life,
and when December came around
he found he had saved nothing
He wanted the $500 from his father,
and he began scheming how to get
it. At last he remembered the pay
ing teller, who was a good friend Of
his. To him he went one day and
explained the case. The next day
he sent his father a letter, inclosing
certificate of deposit for $500
The mails soon brought back let
ter of copgratulation from the father
aud a check for $500
The young teller's raise after that
was rapid. Now he holds one OF the
most responsible positions in the
bank, and he is heavy stakeholder
too
