COMMERCE OF THE PACIFIC.

Seattle, Wash.. Oct. II. ID. E.
Brown. general agent Of the Canadian
Pacific Railway 6 Steamship Company
at Hong Kong, speaking today OF the
growth of trade betweeen this country
and the Orient, said:
THE trade of the last Eve years
should more than double In the next
Eve years. owing, in the first place, to
increased transportation facilities, and
in the second place to the close rela-
tions that will have to exist hereafter
between this country and the Orient as
the result Of holding the Philippine
Islands. We are perfectly willing that
the United States should hold on to
the Philippine islands, and when once
the matter is definitely settled, and
business is again in full swing, it will
not be long before the commerce Of the
Pacific will be as great as that Of the
Atlantic. Especially will this be the
case when railroads shall open up China
to the commercial and industrial world,
and make this Northwest coast Ito
landing point"

EXPLOSION IN a coLLIERY.
Five Minors Were Killed and eleven
Injured.


Tamaqna, Pa, Oct. Is. Five men
were killed and II injured by an ex-
plosion OF gas this afternoon in colliery
No. at Coaldale, near here. The dead
are: Fire Boss Thomas Smith, Will
liam Reese, MATHS O'Larkey, Of Coal
dale; William Caak, and John Kon-
icka, Of Lansford. All were married.
and leave large families.
The colliery has capacity OF over
300, 900 tons Of coal, and employs 500
hands. In consequence OF fire, which
originated in the left section Of the
mine some months ago, shifts Of men
were put to work driving holes from
the gangway, through which the water
was to be forced upon the flames.
While the men we're building dam
to back up the water this afternoon, the
gangway caught fire. Nearly 100, 900
gallons Of water was turned into the
holes and almost instantly terrific
explosion occurred, followed In quick
succession by four lighter explosions Of
such force that the gangway was torn
up for over 800 feet, and the workmen
were blown about In all directions.
Rescue gangs were put to work and an
hour later it was thought that all the
dead and injured had been found. al
though the search was under way to-
night, when the Gre was still burning.
The water forced volumes Of escaping
gas from some Of the old workings back
upon the flames, causing the explosion.

DAWSON QUARTZ MINES.
Future Of the City Depends Upon Their
Development.

Vancouver. B. O., Oct. III. Fl.
Hold, Of Chicago, who is just down
from Cassiar, saye gold strike has
been made on Friday river. Three
men took out $s5 each from a river bar
In one week.
II. NJ. Sinclair, OF Los Angeles, Cal.
who has just arrived from Dawson.
says the future Of Dawson will depend
largely upon the opening OF quartz
mines. There have been upwards of
400 quartz claims recorded at Dawson
and some claims in the vicinity of the
city are attracting considerable atten.
tion, not on account Of the high grade,
but OF the immense deposits OF gold
bearing ore.
@. @. Black. who has just returned
from Peach river, states that several
prospectors up there stole provisions
cached by tribe of Indians which had
always been friendly to the whites.
TAe-red men were not long in retaliat-
ing. They fired the grass in the dis
triet for miles around. The result was
disastrous TO the inscriptions white
men. Their horses died Of starvation,
and, half-starved themselves, they fed
from the country and returned to Omi-
neca. had they not left tho district
the Indian hostilities would have been
carried still further.

PARIS PEACEMAKERS
First Demand of Spain Is
Flatly Refused.
SETTLED BY THE PROTOCOL
Americans Positively Decline TO As.
sumo Responsibility for the cnban
Debt--Two Weeks Labors.

Paris. OCT. 1S.--The American and
Spanish peace commissions closed their
first two weeks OF labor here today,
and the progress made has been chiefly
by negative action. owing to the atti.
tude Of the Americans.
The first article Of the protocol pro-
yided that Spain will welinquish all
claim to sovereignty over and title to
Cnba. The Americans opened their
case by the assumption that little or no
action was necessary regarding Cuba on
the ground that lite disposition was
ehnitely fixed by the terms OF the pro-
locol. Notwithstanding at the meeting
last Thursday, the Spaniards submit
ted suggestions and propositions
amounting to holding that the United
States should take over all or part Of
the Cuban debt. Tuesday, Senior Mon
tero Rios, president OF the Spanish COM
mission, verbally repeated 1t at length,
and reiterated the same In summarized
form.
The Americans at their own session,
Wednesday, took up the Spanish pres.
entation and determined the formula
tion OF the answer Of the United States.
Careful, exact, and full was the prepara-
tion Of the answer, and, therefore, II
became impossible, as intended, to
serve copy Of 1t on the Spanish before
the hour OF opening the session, SO that
the oral discussion might begin
promptly.
Whatever may have transpired at yes
terday's session, whether the Spaniards
were or we're not advised that the
United States declined to assume the
Cuban debt, 1t may be distinctly said
that with such light as 1t now has. the
United States commission will consist.
emily and to the end refuse to assume
all or any part Of the Cuban debt. The
Spaniards will, il indeed it has not al
ready been done, have impressed upon
them the fact that by the signature Of
the protocol, they utterly relinquished
all claim of sovereignty over and title
to Cuba.
Thus possibly progress has been
achieved negatively. for, with the pres.
ent light, the Americans decline, OF
will refuse the responsibility OF single
peseta OF the so-called debt.

Seattle, Oct. l6.-The first white
men to ascend the Noatak river, In
Alaska. arrived here today. They were
DIR. r. E. Franklin and g. II. Grifffth.
Of Richmond, Va; N. Livermore, Of
Port Townsend; John Mason, Charles
Gay and Wallace Rhodes, Of Seattle;
o. Payne, of New York city, and Jack
Beach.
In two rowboats they went up about
250 miles, which required "a days Of
hard work. Their return trip was made
in only SO hours, which gives good
idea of the swiftness OF the water in
this hitherto unexploied river. They
did not find any trace Of gold worth
mentioning. but discovered q country
in which wild berries, especially cur
rants, thrive; also all kinds OF water
fowl and the ptarmigan. On their re-
turn from Kotzebue sound, franklin
and Griffith located claims at Galvoin
bay, where they took out sat- to the
pan at bedrock. Some OF the gold as.
says about $40 to the ounce.
Arthur D. Spiers, of New York, ar
rived here today from Alaska, where
he went as member OF the Pat GAL
vim expedition, which drove 1000
head Of beef cattle over the Dalton
trail to Fort Silkirk. where they were
butchered and shipped to Dawson.
Only six head died on the drive. At

lie Told How the spaniards Lost
Santiago.

Omaha, Oct. 17.-Major- General
William X. Shafter was accorded a
most generous welcome by Omaha to-
lay. When bis train arrived in the
morning large number Of people had
gathered at the station to greet the
hero OF Santiago. Later, upon the ex-
position grounds, the manifestation Of
love and respect for the general were
everywhere in evidence. This after
noon. In the auditorium, General Shat
ter addressed an audience that filed
every inch Of available space in the
great building. His address was a
plain, matter-of-fact discussion Of the
Cuban campaign, and the simple pre-
sentation of facts was far more effective
than the most exalted oratorical effort
from one who. had not participated in
the struggle.
One or two statements made by the
general are new. He said that with
the capture of FL Caney the campaign
was practically over. 1t was simply
necessary, he said, to convince the
Spanish commander that his case was
hopeless.
"Why the Spaniards surrendered
when they could have abandoned their
position and kept up the war;" he
said. u do not understand, but be-
lieve It was because they had been in
formed that the Spanish government
had decided to give up the fight and
surrender their soldiers in the eastern
part of the island. {"

john made an able address, commend

who has just returned from Alaska,

the district should have a representa-

protection of adequate land laws. He
also thinks that the prohibitory liquor
law originally enforced to protect the
Indians, but now possible Of evasion
with great population of white men
and thousands Of miles of unguarded
seacoast, should be replaced by high
license, producing revenue sufficient
to pay many expenses OF the territory.

Of the discovery Of an entire village,

The village lies snugly ensconced In

The people speak a language Of their
own, which bears no resemblance what
ever to the 20 or more languages which
prevail in the vast regions Of the great

The travellers who chanced upon this
community have been unable to elicit
any information regarding their ante

pally of animal skins and their huts are
constructed of twisted boughs.
