ECHOES FROM ABROAD.

During the last two or three days the
Madrid authorities have abandoned all
their precautions with regard to the
transmission abroad of press dispatches
and have apparently decided upon per
hitting the newspapers to publish
anything that they may see fit without
danger of Contiscation of the edition. In
fact, it would seem that the government
has come To the conclusion that the stu
alton is such that it is no longer neces-
sary to exercise any caution with regard
to the SusCeptibilities of the United
States. The Nacional and the Heraldo
breathe defiance against the Americans,
while the Impartial urges upon the gov
eminent 10 grant letters of marque TO the
owners of every Spanish steamer in port,
with a view to its being fitted out as
Drivateer to prey upon American com
merce, and thus to use the impartial $
own words, ito put some pieces of Grape
uDon the hateful flag of the United
States"
The recommendation of the Impartial
has come somewhat late in the day; II
has already been acted upon, and there
are at the present moment in the port OF
Barcelona quite a large number of ocean
going steamers that are being armed and
equipped as privateers. 1t may be re-
membered that Spain alone of all the
nations of Europe, is not bound by any
agreement from this particular form of
warfare, which the other powers of Eu-
rope have combined to regard as piracy
The unhappiness of the Duchess of
York, Englands future queen, is the sub
ject of incessant and animated discus
sion in court circles and among all those
who have inkIing of what goes on there
in. The duchess IS the picture of misery.
| She has lost the sturdy health which
| once constituted all her beauty. In two
! years she has aged ten. The cause of all
! the trouble is the Princess Henry of
! Pless, the most bewitchingly wicked
| beauty that ever broke up royal home.
! She has made the Duke of York entirely
! forget his duty to his wife and his royal
dignity. The disagreement between the
duke and duchess is so acute that 1t
/ threatened to bring about a separation
! between them. All the influence of the
| royal family has been employed to pre-
! vent this catastrophe, which might do ir-
/ reparable injury to the throne in the not
distant future. The Duke of York is the
! only son of the Prince of Wales, aid,
therefore, eventual heir to the throne.
! He is thirty-three years of age, and was
| educated for the navy. His elder brother
| the Duke of Clarence who died. was en-
! gagged to his cousin. Princess May of
| Teck. When the Duke of York became
! heir tie engagement was also trans
| ferred to him, and he married the Prin-
cess May in 1893 They have two boys,
four and three years old, respectively.

60 Those Coming to Aissixa or th.
siondike Gold. Fields


One thing shoaId be Impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader com
ing TO Alaska. to the Klondike. OF tha
Yukon country. and that is the neees-
ity for providing an adequate. and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States. In the Dominion. or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern. Up
on the manner in which the miner has
observed or neglected this precaution
more than upon any other one thing
will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healtkful and
should be concentrated. but the most
careful attention in the selection OF
foods that will keep unimpalred inden-
nitely under all the condition which
they will have TO encounter Is I'M
perative. For instance. as bread raised
with baking powder must be relied up
on for the chief part Of every meal,
imagine the helplessness OF miner
with a can OF spoiled baking powder.
Buy only the very best nour; IL Is the
cheapest in the end. Experience has
shown the Royal Baking Powder TO
be the most reliable and the trading
companies now uniformly supply this
brand, as others will not keep In this
climate Be sure that the bacon Is
sweet. sound and thoroughly cured
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may. OF course, be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicaeies as the prospector may be
able to pack or desire to pay for
