KLONDIKE OUTPUT.
The Correct Amount of Gold Mined
About 100000.

Washington, Dec. 3-The gold output
IN the klondike is the subject of a re-
port supplementary to one made to the
commissioner of labor by Samuel c..
Durham, an agent of the labor bureau,
IN Alaska, last May. He says:
''It has been impossible to secure sat
isfactory data relative to the output Of
gold for the Klondilxe district Many of
the miners refuse to give any infOrma-
ton whatever as to the yield of their
mines, referring inquiries to the office
or the gold commissioner, where it was
learned that up to June "a nearly $780,
600 had been collected in royalties, in
dicating a gross output thus accounted
for of nearly $4,000 900. At that date
the cleanupS were practically compile
ted, the officials stating that they would
probably collect royalties on 1000, 900
more during the summer.
Undoubtedly there has been consid-
era bic evasion of royalty, and for this
reason $500, 900 will be unaccOunted for
$4,000 or less and are exempt from tax
alton have probably produced $1,000, 900.
The bankers and agents of the Com
mercial company, who have the best
means of knowing the facts, practical
ly agree in placing the output for the
season at SO, 900, 600 They divide this
aggregate sum among the creeks as
follows: Ell Dorado, 81, 0O0, 600; Bonanza,
SO 100000; Hunker and Bear, 81, 900, 900;
Dominion and Sulphur, and other creeks
81, OOO, 900
MANY enthusiastic writers in news
papers and prOspectuses have placed
the probable yield of the KlOndike
mines for the season at from SIC, 900. 900
to 10000, 900. but no intelligent man up
on the ground who is acquainted with
the condition has placed the figure
above $12 900, 600"

Canadian premier. and Sir Louis Davies

Canadian premier, and Sir Louis Davies
Of the Canadian cabinet.
AS high commissioner to London,
Lord Strathcona is in a position to re-
fleet the views of both the imperial
and the colonial authorities. He is very
prominently identified with Canadian
affairs, having been, as Sir Donald
Smith, governor of the Hudson Bay
company and one of the original pro-
jectOrs of the Canadian Pacific COM
pany. He was elevated tO the peerage
during the jubilee, and with Lord Mount
Stevens has the honor of being the only
other Canadian peer.
Il am here while the present high
commission meets" said Lord Strath-
coma, in response to inquiries, las was
when the last high commission met in
Washington tWenty-eight years ago to
settle the Alabama claims and all other
controversies growing out of the civil
war.
THAT commission brought about
splendid results in removing every pos
sibility of trouble between the two gov
ern1nentS, and with the warm feeling
now existing between the English speak
ing people on both sides of the water, 1
am most hopeful that the present COM
mission will remove the last Vestige OF
contention between the United states,
Great Britain and Canada. know from
my own observation how thoroughly
that result would be appreciated by the
mother country, and I am sure the
people of Canada and their officials en-
terrain the same feeling.
The American war with Spain simply
gave an opportunity for the expression
of a sentiment which has long existed
in British hearts," continued Lord
Strathcona. 1.-THE feeling was always
there, but it lacked the occasion for
such an expression as all might under
stand The war gave that occasion and
the sympathy and friendship which the
British government and the people show
ed for the American cause may be
taken as the strong, underlying and
lasting feeling Of people of the same
blood"
Lord Strathcona would not discuss
the purposes of his visit, but it is I'M
derstood that in addition to comforting
in the public questions now under con-
stdera ton by the AnglO-American COM
mission he will also talk with Sir Will
frid relative to the establishment of
fast ocean connections between Canada
and British portsS This latter project,
as well as the laying of a Canadian
cable in the Pacific has received much
attention from the high commissioner.

THE HUSBAND PROTESTS.
Valuable Oil Paintings Worth $4,000
Put at Sale by a Divorced Wife.

New York. Dec. 3.-Valuable oil paint
ings that were once included in the col
lection owned by Frank w. Savin, a
Wall street broker were sold at auc-
ton in a Fifth avenue art gallery last
night, after representatives of Mr.. Savin
had publicly announced that persons
who purchased the works Of art offered
for sale would do so at their own risk.
This announcement caused an uprOar in
the gallery, which ended only after the
appea rance of a policeman.
Mr.. Savin contends that the paintings,
which are worth $4,000, are still his
property, Notwithstanding they were
Offered for sale by his wife. He tried
in vain yesterday to prevent the sale by
legal means, and when defeated one of
his lawyers announced in court that an
effort would be made to ruin the sale by
warning persons from buying.
Mrs. Savin obtained a separation last
spring and was awarded $1,000 a month
for the support of herself and children.
She had been married for many years
and lived at East Sixty-seventh street
in a handsome house which her husband
had purchased for her. In it were
mIny valuable paintings which he had

" been placed on sale at druggists and
it is safe to say that when its extraor-
binary merit becomes fully known,
there will be no such thing as surgical
operations for the cure Of this obstinate
and common troubled
Mrs. NJ. Q. Hinkly VOf COL Mississippi

Is years and no remedies benefited me,
until 1 saw an advertisement of the
Pyramid Pile Cure; I got a package
also a package. of Pyramid Pills and
used both according to directions I
was astonished at the immediate relief
obtained and now 1 honestly believe
the Pyramid to be the only certain cure
for piles.
That you may realize how bad I was,
I will say that I was confined to my
bed and went before the college physi-
clans here who said my case was a
new one to them and wanted seven or
eight hundred dollars to undertake a
cure; the great pain had brought on n
rupture, and knew an operation would
be death to me on account Of blood
poisoning. Nearly everyone here knows
of my terrible suffering from piles and
feel that cannot praise the Pyramid
Pile Cure enough, and the Pyramid
Pills also. My husband will join me in
highly recommending the Pyramid, my
daughter was cured by one box only.
For several years weighed but about
80 pounds, now I weigh $50 and feel
in perfect health.
This seems to be the universal testi-
mony of every sufferer from piles who
has ever tried the Pyramid; it is the
safest, most painless pile cure yet dis
covered; contains no opiate, morphine,
cocaine or any poisonous ingredient
whatever, has soothing, healing eff
feet from the first application. and the
moderate price places it within the
reach of everyone needing treatment.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 80 cents and $1.OO per package
and the Pyramid Pills at % cents per
box.

REID FOR AMBASSADOR.
Is Probable Programme = Which
Means Mckinley Fears Roosevelt.

New York, Dec. 3.-Whitelaw Reds
appointment as ambassador to Great
Britain seemed to be considered about
settled last night by Platt machine
leaders. One of them predicted at the
Fifth Avenue that soon after Mr.. Reid
retireS from the SPANS American peace
commission he will get the post.
This would be a complete rundown
of Chauncey NJ. Depew, Levi P. Nor
ton and Elihu Root, who, in the order
named, have been recommended by Sen
atOr Platt to head off Reid and Joseph
H. Choate. Politicians say it will sig
Nifty a conviction on the part of the
president that he cannot hope to secure
the New York delegation to the next
national convention so long as Platt
and Roosevelt the latter a possible
candidate for the White House himself,
have anything to say about it, but will
depend upon the anti-Platt element to
divide the delegation.
In June Senator Platt suggested
Chauncey NJ. DepeW for ambassador.
The president did nothing, and then the
senator recommended former Vice Pres
ident Levi p. Morton. Soon after the
senator was given to understand that
as New York already had the French,
German and Turkish missions, the am
bassador would be taken from another
state. The senator made no further
suggestions, and meantime the names
of Senator Mcmillan of Michigan; Sen
atOr Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota,
and Senator Edward O. WoIcott We're
canvassed.
According to Plat machine advfces,
soon after Whitelaw Reid went to Par
is to serve upon the peace commission,
opponents of the machine visited the
president and presented the name of
Joseph H. Choate. The presidents
friends here and in Ohio backed this
request. Senator Platt and Chairman
Odell, Of the state committee, visited
Washington two weeks ago, protested
against the lawyers selection and rec
commended Root.
Root has been supposed to be Cover
nOr-elect ROosevelt's personal choice
for United States senator, and the idea
was to get him out of the way for
Depew, the machines choice.
Messrs. Platt and Odell intend going
to Washington Saturday next, ostensi-
bly, to be on hand early for the opening
of congress. Their machine allies ex-
pect them to make another formal pro-
test against the appointment Of either
Reid or ChOate.
