The Weather in KlOndike.

The climate of Alaska should be
thoroughly understood by all who
contemplate making that locality
their permanent home. The Alaska

A miner just out of Klondlke,
who has spent seven winters there,
says that it was so cold in January
that they froze the flames of their
candles and sold them for straw
berries. He sai6 they kept their
tires over night by putting them
out in the air and letting then
freeze, and then thawed them out
10 the morning. He said he had
seen four men die of coiic from
eati g whisky that was. frozen so
hard it wouldn't thaw inside of

We have had a great deal of
anti-fusion talk from the populists
of Montana latel y. There is TO be
90 more combination with the
democrats, because they can not
be trusted, and have thrown the
confding popu'ists every time.
There was much the same talk as
this INDUCED in by the populists of
Minnesota until a few days ago,
now we will hear 40 more Of it.
The bosses have been there and the
faithful have wheeled into line and
will help pull few more demo-
cratic chestnuts out of the fire.
With .DonnelIy at the head the
iddle of the readers seemed to
t, have every thing their own way
til Senator Butler and few
m IRE of the leading lights of popu-
li>m appeared upon the scene, and
then the boasted Independence dis
appeared, aud the obedient com
mittee proceeded to vote in favor
OF fusion, and another nail is thus
d iven in the coffin of Minnesota
populisn.
Will the same thing happen ir
Montana? Those populists who
have had experience with thu
d emocratic tricksters will, of course
continue to oppose fusion, but Cal
they oppose the will of the nationa
bosses? They have decreed fusion
and fusion will probably go. Th'
rank and file of the party ma
kick, but they will have to tax
ill-will out in kicking.-Grea

First. That nearly all of our
eastern and western mail, both
letters and papers, arrive in Dupu-
yer by the way of Kipp and that it
is impracticable to receive such
mail oy way of Great Falls, Collins
and Choteau.
Second. That this route is the
only lirect communication we have
with the Great Northern railway
Third. That it cuts US off and
delays in communicating with the
district court at Kalispell, which
is part of the Eleventh Judicial
District, and in which city the
distrl-t Judge resides.
Fourth. That the Blackfoot
station Or the Great Northern
railway is situated at Kipp, where
all business for this part of the
county is transacted; and that if
this route is abandoned it will take
from three to four days to COM
uunicate with this point, while at
present it requires less than seven
hours, thereby creating delay and
confusion in getting our mail
notifying US that freight and ex-
press have been received for US at
the railroad station.
Fifth. That it will be impossible
10 communicate with the patrons
, of the post office at Piegan.
Sixth. That for our mail t.

quires IA stage ride OF about thirty
four miles, while if this route i
abandoned it will require a stag

Chickamauga National Park July H. Bids were received today by Quartermaster General Lee for 100000 pounds of oats; 5OO,0OO pounds of bran; 9,00O00O pounds of hay and 100000 pounds of straw. There were forty bidders from Chicago and Cin- cinnat. A significant feature of the speci- flcations is that the material is to be de- ltvered at once.
 General Sanger, commanding the third division of the third corps has issued an order directing regimental commanders to report to him all the sharpshooters in their commands, which are to be formed into companies of sharpshooters for use in case the Spaniards keep up the practice begun at Santiago.
 It was stated today on the authority of high official that the second division of the first corps under General Poland has been designated as an expedition for Porto Rico and that the division would be dis patched at as early date as possible. The quartermasters and ordnance departments have been busy today furnishing the smaller equipments, such as gun slings, canteens, new shoes and extra undercoth- ing to the regiments of this division, all of which are now almost completely equipped for the field.
 Chief Surgeon Hartsuff stated today that the health of the army was excellent, al- though because of recent excesses among some of the recruits as a result of pay day''1 a number of men were suffering from summer complaints. The serious cases in the hospitals are not more than is expected in so large an army.

REPUBLICANS RESIGN,
And the Fight Tn tuscaloosa is Now Between
 the Populists and Democrats.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Tuscaloosa, July 1.-The Tuscaloosa county republicans will have no ticket in the field this year. The nominees: Ignatius Green for probate udge, Walter Smith for clerk and Sam Hammer for representative, have held a meeting and decided to with draw from the race. They have so notified the county executive committee.
 The nominees have not resigned in any party's favor, but the suppositlon is that the party here will follow the instructions of the republican executive committee and vote the populist ticket straight. Their chief desire seems to be anything to beat democracy. Some of the democrats, by the way, are disturbed over the majority of populists in the list of managers for the coming election The democrats hereto fore have been in the majority so far as eelctlon managers were concerned.

GREENSBORO IS INDIGNANT
At the Treatment of Hobson by House-Why
 the DeIav-Veterans Meeting.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Greensboro July 1.-The people of this town are indignant at the treatment which has been given Lieut.. Richmond P. Hob- son by the congress of the United States The failure to take him out of the construc- ton corps and put him in the line amounts to shelving him during the present war. The people of Alabama will, no doubt, like to know why the house did not ack upon the senate resolutions, recommending his promotion and offering him the thanks of the nation for his gallant conduct
 The people of Hale are anxious for an opportunity to show Hobson their appre- citation of his conduct, and if he should visit this town an ovation will be given him of which a king might be priud. People here have the deepest sympathy and kindest feeling for Admirol Cervera because of his generous treatment of Hobson and his con- panions.
 At the instance of Major Gid Harris there will be reunion of the members of the Twentyieth Alabama regiment at Two-Mile church in North Hale on next Saturday, the 16th inst. Company I of this regiment was raised in this county by Major Harris, and number of the veterans belonging to this command are still living in Hale. They
 
 hands with their old captain and discussing with him the hardships of the siege of yicksburg when the Twentieth Alabama was captured. Colonel Isham w. Garrett of Marion was colonel of this regiment and lost his life at Vicksburg.
 Major Harris has requested all persons who have relics of the war in their posses sion to carry them to the reunion The old battle flag will be there in good state of preservation and many other mementoes of the Host cause which will be viewed with feelings of pleasure, tinged with sadness, by the gray-headed veterans, who followed their flag to defeat. The major will de- liver an. address on the occasion.
 The crops of corn were never better in this section, and sufficient breadstuffs will be made to supply the county and some ot spair. The cotton looks promising but the opinions of the best farmers is, that there has been too much rain for this crop, and that the plant is running to weed and not fruiting well. It is impossible for any one to tell at this time what the outcome of cotton will be, as July and August are the critical periods for cotton and nothing definite can be determined as to the yield until about the 1st of September. Im- mense quantities of corn and meal have been sold in this market since the 1st of January, as there was a failure in the corn last year and the year before, but 1t is safe to say there will not be car of meal

UNDER WHICH FLAG2
The Republican State Convention or Its tx-
 ecutiye Committee?

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Cullman, July 10.-I. notice that the re- publican state executive committee of Ala bama on the 1st instant met at Birming- ham and resolved to support the state populist ticket headed by Deans. At Mont gomery on January ' ill the state conven- tion of the republican party resolution offered by Hon. William Vaughan, chair man of the state executive committee Of the party to support the populist state ticket was tabled. What the state con- yention refused to do the state executive committee met and resolved to do. Every republican of ordniray intelligence knows the meets and bounds of an executive committee. No party attempts. by it's ex- ecutive committee unless specially dele gated to do so, to ultimately fix the po- litical destiny and arrangement or ticket. The executive committee, as well as ticket, are alike the product Of an organized convention. If committee does what the convention refuses to do, 1t IS disloyalty to the party behind that con- vention It is not only disloyalty, but is usurpation. Whether it was stupid act of the republican executive committee or hastily done, I know not. It could not be done at the instance of the Aldrich amend ment to the platform which was adopted, for that reads as follows: Resolved that this convention recommends and directs the republican county committee to use their best judgment and earnest efforts to nominate and endorse anti-democratic can didates for judicial and county offices, and for the legislature, who are pledged to honest election and against constitutional convention"
 "Judicial and county offces'' are not state tickets or state offices. There is quite a difference and the committee has made a mistak. Such a masure of fusion in or der to be rightly put on foot by the party ought to be convened before each and every county convention and the delegates in- structed in accordance with the wish of the constituents.
