other extras. For $50 miles We found a
well beaten trail, and made good time for
most OF that distance, but on leaving the
mouth OF the Peliey and taking more OF
a southerly course on the Stewart, the
weather was warmer and fresh snow fell
each day. The trail was full, making
travel slow and tedious for six days when
we reached the Little Salmon. half way

time We began to meet people on the way
to Dawson. Comparatively few outfits

can do nothing, from the temper of her people, except to continue on as she has been doing. We cannot permit her much longer to continue in that way. I can see no way out of it excepting in a war, and I believe that it will cer- tainly follow.
 There are certain commercial inter ests opposed to such a war. but the pledges of our party, the pledges of two Presidents-Cleveland and McKin- ley-and the interests of humanity re- quire that we should intervene. The spirit of the American people would sweep away the mere question of dol lars and cents that stand in the way of such intervention. I do not regard a war with Spain as one of any great consequence. I believe that it would end in a very short time. But whether or not that be the case, the honor of the American people demand and re- quire such an intervention.
 T firmly believe that President Nc Kinley Is thoroughly in sympathy with this feeling, as h. has shown by the words he has spoken on this Cuban question, and that intervention will fol- low. We shall wait for the report of the Board of Inquiry, and then noth- ing can hold back Congress. That is my opinion, and I think you will find it the very general opinion among the Republican Senator's

gestion has been promptly taken up and Congress will be asked for an ap- propriation to carry 1t out. Its prac- ticability for ships of war is recognized. The idea is to take homing pigeons to sea, exercising them at gradual dis tances, short at first. put gradually in- creasing them to the limit of the power of the birds, and then putting them on cruisers In case of war battle-ship would carry a lot of them and let them loose when off the coast with important news.
 AS to the utilization of homing pigeons for battle-shipS," said Colonel Heap. "I wrote to the Navy Depart ment that I would do all in my power to carry out that scheme of communication with cotes in lighthouses. Just now the Navy De- partment will place two stations in my department, one at Fire Island and the other at Navesink. The method of training is this: Whenever a light house tender goes to sea the lighthouse men will put their birds on board. The pigeons will be accustomed to short Journeys at first, until they are fit to be taken on cruise with warship and released with dispatches when they are near their own homes. l suggested Fire Island and NaveSink because they are in direct telegraph communication with New York.
 The department has decided to es- tabIish stations at Barnegat. Cape
 May. Cape Henry, Jupiter Inlet, Tampa, entrance to Mobile Bay, Port Eads at the mouth of the Mississippi and just off Galveston. There are also to be stations on the Pacific Coast, nrobablv at San Francisco, San Diego and at the mouth of Puget Sound.

RIFLES FOR ARMY
 PURPOSES ARE SCARCE.
In the Event of War It Would Be Difficult to Promptly Secure
 All Arms Needed.

BOSTON, Mass, March 5.-There is a general consensus of opinion among the manufacturers of repeating rifles that should war be declared to-mor- row it would be difficult ten days later to md repeating rife in any shop in the country-that is, repeating rl1e or large enough size for war pur- poses. There are only three factories Tn the country where repeating rifles or a size adapted to equipping military companies are manufactured-the Gov ernment works at Springfield, Mass, and the Marlin and Winchester arms companies in Connecticut The last two are private concerns. Their total production of arms of all calibers is about 475 per day of thirteen hours work. Both are running up to their full limit at the present time, and of 475 rifles turned out each day about 3oO would do for war purposes. A war demand would involve for the euuip- ment of organized forces the construc- tion of about six types of guns. These would be the 30-40 Krag- -Jorgensen, used by the regular army. These are made at Springfield, Mass. Then there would be the 236 caliber Lee magazine rifle for the navy, made by the Win chester Arms Company The militia would possibly be equipped with the slngle-shot black powder Springfield of the 45-70 type, because that is the mi ltfa weapon now in use
 The volunteers very likely would have the black powder 45-7O Marlin re- peater. or the Marlin smokeless, 30-3 There also would be the smokeless 3O-4O Winchester repeater. Of these types available for volunteers, who would, of course, make up the bulk of the army, there is just now great dearth in the market. Four years of dull trade re- duced the stock on hand to a minimum and though both the great private fac tories are running overtime they are unable to keep up with the orders which the revived trade and the Klon- dike excitement have showered in upon them.

SAVED THE PENNANT
 OF THE MAINE.
Louis Moriniere's Gallant Act Amid That Hell of "Fire, Masts, Men,
 Smokestacks, Everything"

BOSTON, March 5.-Louis Moriniere is the name of the gallant fellow who saved the pennant of the Maine. Even in that hell of fire, masts, men, iron. smokestacks, everything." as he him. selves describes it in a letter published here for the first time, he thought to tear away the .pennant when he found it lying upon the deck over which 1t had often fioated at the peak The symbol of the naval power of the United States that flies on a ship of war both night and day was saved by this Franco-American sailor from per iShing amid the carnage upon which by chance 1t fell. Louis Moriniere was rushing aft in his effort to leave the sinking battle-ship when his feet be- came entangled in the little strip of bunting that still attached to the loosened halliards of the mainmast lay pathetically prostrate and insignificant on the wreck of the once proud ves- sel. It was a strange coincidence that this pennant, the only flag left flying through the night over our ships of war, should have come under the mo- tice of almost the only sailor left un- hurt on board the Maine, as if demand ing to be saved and protesting against the ignominy of burning like a common rag.
 Moriniere tore 1t from the halliards and thrusting it in his blouse. bore 1t safely away with him. The pennant has now been sent by Moriniere to a Chicago man, George c. Magee by name

BOSTON, March 5.-The Journals Washington correspondent says to- night: Senator Frye of Maine, mem Der of the Foreign Relations Commit tee, said to-day to me:
 T think there will be war. do not see how it can possibly be averted EaFithTUt sdfshonor to the United States. l feeT absolutely certain that the Board of Inquiry will report that the Maine was blown up by an outside agency From the information that has come into my possession, believe that con- clusion to be unavoidable.
 The least that this country can do under these circumstances, is to de- mand, as Secretary Sherman has stat ed, a good round sum in indemnity. Spain will not pay it. The pride of the Spanish people is perhaps too great to permit them to agree to such prop osition, and moreover there is large body of Spanish people who seem to desire war with the United States. Spain is doing everything in the way of preparing for a conflict, and l be- lieve that it will certainly take place. If the indemnity is refused, as l think it will be, war must follow"
 But altogether aside rom the QueS- tion affecting the destruction of the Maine there is the awful and inhuman process now going on in Cuba of ex- terminating the inhabitants by starva- tion. The Spaniards in Cuba num- bered at the last census only an eighth of the population. According to pri- vate and official reports that have come into my possession, more than twice that number of people have already been starved to death in Cuba.
 President Cleveland and President Mckinley both gave notice that the time would come when this country would be forced to intervene to stop the war unless Spain stopped it. There is less probability at the present of Spain ending the war than at any time since it began. Can our Gov ernment longer delay intervention and permit the continuation of the most monstrous crime of modern times-the wholesale starvation of people-without running the risk of being practically wiped out of existence at the coming Congressional election and receiving the condemnation of the American peo- pie?
 Intervention cannot much longer be delayed. Spain will do nothing and

PIUTEs IN WAR PAINT.

They Want to Fight spain-A War
Dance Near Virginia City, Nevada.
From the Virginia City CNev.) Enterprise
Away out on the hills, beyond the Catho-
lie Cemetery, in the spot where the abor-
igines held their fetes before the advent of
his white cousins, the Piutes are now gath
cred, engaged IN heap big dance" Piutes
always have reason for these festivities,
and the reason for this is a singular one
In some way the Piutes have learned that
this nation, which is presided over by the
great father at Washington is in danger
of being involved in hostilities with another
tribe called Spain. The Ptutes ideas of the
present situation are very vague, but they
scent a national calamity in the wind and
are excited thereby. They say they went to
get guns and fight Spain, and as they have
always been in the habit of having "heap
big dance before going to war, so they
are holding the present demonstration
partly to terrify Spain and partly to show
their white cousins the interest they hold
in the commonweal They have no doubt
that Spain VIII learn of their warlke at
titude and be duly impressed, and they ex-
pect the white men. who are their neigh
bors, to be appreciatIve of their loyalty
Ihelr white nelghDOrS don't show any ap-
probation, however. Again, the noble red
man is suffering by being misunderstood.
The fandango commenced night before
last, and there was great crowd Of Piutes
present. The beauty and the chivalry of the
tribe were there in war paint, and so was
the white gamin and hoodlum. Sagebrush
fences had been constructed in the form
of a ring, and outside of this ring were
erected temporary lodges, and the center
was a piece de resistance, around which
the dancing took place. Festivities COM

pressing the palms Of each others hands
close to their thighs and shutting about
in circle to the measures of a melan-
choly chant. Finally a noted vocalist of
the tribe essayed a solo, but the white
clement became so annoying to the high
strung, sensitive Piute nature that Capt.
