A Bard-Luck Tale.

VICTORIA, B. c., Feb. s.-A special
from Nanaimo states that the steamer
Noyo has arrived there from Skagway
She has 25 disgusted passengers aboard
tired of the country after their FIRST
experience, and severely denouncing
the Klondike rush. The treasure oD
board amounts to $4,000. One of the
passengers said 200 men could do all
the work offered at Skagway, and
there were at least 500 men there who
had nothing to do but drink aud gam
BILE. When the Noyo passed the Coro-
no her position was more critical than
heretofore reported.

NATURAL CRIMINALS.

"Let the butcher take care of his
own meat" was the response of old
Albert Wachline,- father of Gus
Wachline, who was hanged at
Hillsboro last week, when asked by
another son to assist in giving the
murderer decent burial.
Could anything but a criminal be
raised by such heartless parent? The
father who refuses to bury his son, no
matter if he is hanged for murder, pos
sesses natural bruitish insticts that are
instilled into his offspring from their
early childhood. The elder Wachline
has shown himself devoid of human in
stincts, and it is but natural that his
offspring should exhibit like depravity.
It is no wonder Gus Wachline was a
criminal; he could be little else with
such father. That he displayed all
the bruitish characters of depraved
and vicious man was shown by his
brief career. First convicted of felony
and sentenced to the penitentiary, in
stead of learning the lessons of. honor
and profiting by the punishment in
fiicted for his misdeed, his brute nature
was developed while in servitude, and
scarcely had he been admitted to lib
erty until the vice that had been in
herited began to again predominant,
and murder was his first act.
Gus Wachline was indeed one of
those beings that curse society, but he
was not altogether to blame for his
disposition. He was reared by a
brute, for nothing but brute would
thus refuse his child decent burial,
hence he was natural criminal, de-
void of the sense of honor or concep-
ton of the rights of others. Meyer
theless it is well that he has been re-
moved from society before he should
infict greater damage upon it by
his own acts or by rearing others like
himself.

A representative of the Cuban insur-

reports that all classes Of Frenchmen
would be glad to see Cuba freed. The
growth of this feeling abroad is not
confined to France.

A FABULOUS DISCOVERY.
Made on the american Side of the
Yukon.

Yukon.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. 10'-It Is re.
ported that great gold discovery has
been made on the American side in
the Yukon country. Fritz BohnseE,
of Victoria, writes to his brother, Karl
Bohnsen, as follows:
1--WE have struck it rich on an un-
known creek across the border never
before seen by man. In the crevices
of the rocks in one day We picked up
$50. 900 in coarse gold. Sell your busi-
less, or give it away, and come up
quick with 10 men.
/ The Bohnsens have large interests
in Vancouver, and are said to be re-
liable.
Several Klondikers were interviewed
as to tho probability of this report be-
ing true. The richness of the reputed
discovery seems SO fabulous as to Gre
ate in their minds a doubt as to its
truthfulness.

Suit Over a Horse Race.

A rather move! c.y!! suit IS being
tried In the commissioners court this
afternoon. A week or SO ago horse
race was matched and run at the track
at the fair grounds between Deck

has not been learned. Il seems that
the terms Of tile race we're that the
first horse to pass under the wire was
to be declared the winner, and the
stakes, amounting to S3s side, were
placed in ME hands of w. t. Davis.
The Title horse came out ahead, and
Mr. Davis paid over the money ac-
cordingly. Now comes the other man
and claims that the rider Of the Tit
tie horse reached over and caught his
animal by the bride and held him
back, thus winning the race, and has
sued Mr. Davis in civil action to re-
cover the wager.

The Cheat Canals Their Cost.

The Suez canal is about 100 miles
in length and cost 81, 600, 600 per mile
for its construction. The Corinth
canal is four miles in length, and cost
completed, with its approaches, n
million per mile, The proposed
Nicaragua canal will cost per mile.
with its terminals and approaches,
certainly not less and probably more
than the sum named. The canals of
Suez and Corinth are real maritime can
ais, built without locks, upon the sea
level. The one, that of Corinth, is
situated in the temperate zone, where
the rainfall is 81 or 40 inches per
The other, that of Suez, is
located in a region without rain.
Neither of these is threatened in its
course by streams liable to sudden and
perilous floods, so common in the
tropical region of Central America.
These two great works afford no real
parallel to the Nicaragua project, either
as to cost or feasibility. The one work
parallel to this undertaking is very
near, very like it, both in place and
circumstance; it is that Of the Panama
canal across the Isthmus Of Darien.-

Poor old China is slowly but surely
breaking up, says q writer, and the
nations of Europe are scrambling for
the pieces. It is the oldest govern
ment in the world, but its people are
so superstitious, and they have been
oppressed for so many years by ruth
less rulers that they have no spirit
left to fight. Japan beat them in the
war of a few years ago and took a big
slice of their territory. Then Russia
came and seized on a seaport. Eng
land has had a foothold at Hong Kong
for many years, and only a few weeks
ago the Germans landed and seized
another seaport. France is thinking
about getting possession of Formosa,
and Japan will no doubt wish to in
crease her share. In the meantime
the emperor of China, who thinks he
is the son OF heaven aud the ruler of
the whole world, dares protest only
feebly. No doubt all Of our boys and
girls will live to see China as a nation
wiped off the map. We can't help
feeling sorry that a nee great nation
should thus disappear, and yet every
II knows that its people never will
make progress until they come under
the influence and control of the more
civilized nations of the earth.
