A WORD OF ADVICE

To Those Coming to Alaska or the
Klondike Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sityof providing an adequate and prop
er 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. Upon
the manner in which the miner has OBJ
served or neglected this precaution
more than upon any other one thing
will his success OF failure depend.
These supplies must be ealthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection OF
foods that will keep unimparied indef-
nitely under all the conditions which
they will have to encounter is impera-
tive. For instance, as bread raised
with baking powder must be relied
upon for the chief part of every meal,
imagine the helplessness of a miner
with can of, spoiled baking powder.
Buy only the very best -four; it is the
cheaResL III Lhe emu. EAPeiieneo noe
shown the Royal Baking Powder to be
the most reliable, and the trading COM
panies 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 OF
delicacies as the prospector may be
able to pack or desire to pay for

SPANISH EVACUATION.
Formal Contraction OF the Spanish Lines
In Porto Rico to Begin Within
the Next Day or Two.

San Juan. Island of Porto Rico, Sept
I5.-Delayed in transmission.)- AT
their meeting to-day the Spanish evac-
uation commissioners agreed to be-
gin the formal withdrawal of their
lines within two days. They will
evacuate Lares, San Sebastian and
Agualdilla, in the northwest of the
island, withdrawing towards the cap
ital. Under the armistice they could
not withdraw their outposts without
permission. Detachments of the
Eleventh infantry will occupy this ter
ritory and raise the American flag.
The abandonment of the other out
posts will follow.
The Spanish commissioners under
stand perfectly that the evacuation of
the islands must be in accordance
with the terms of the protocol, as soon
as transports can be secured. Trans
ports from the fever-infected ports of
Cuba can not, they say, be used to
convey uninfected troops from Porto
Rico. The troops from Cuba and Por-
to Rico are to be landed at different
ports in Spain. The Spanish authori-
ties here can not control the trans
ports in this respect. They must await
the pleasure of Madrid. Our commits
sioners realize the force of this argu.
ment, and they are willing to make
reasonable concessions.

THE LATE DIR. JOHN HALL.
He was One OF the Foremost Presbyterian
Divines, Having Boon Preaching
Ever Since 1S49.

New York, Sept. 1S.-Dr. John Hall,
whose death, in Ireland, is announced,
was born in County Armagh, Ireland,
on July 81, 1929. He was of Scotch
descent. When 10 years of age he en-
tered Belfast college, and was repeat
eddy Hebrew prize man. In 1S49 he
was licensed to preach, and at once
engaged in labor as a missionary in
the west of Ireland. He was installed
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church at Armagh in 1852, and in 1858
was called to the Church of Mary's
Abbey (now Rutland Square) in Dub
lin. He received from Queen Victoria
the honorary appointment of commits
sioner of education for Ireland. In
1867 DIR. Hall was a delegate from the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church in Ireland to the Presbyterian
church III the United States, and after
his return to Ireland he received a call
to the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church, New York. He accepted it,
and entered upon his labors in Noven-
Der, 1867. A new church edifice was
erected for DIR. Hall in 1875, at cost
of about 81 900, 900, on the corner of
Fifth avenue and Fifty-ffth street. He
was elected chancellor of the UNIVERSE
~ of the City of New York in 1882.

PHILIPPINES FOR AMERICA.
The Trend of nm Interview with tina
Archbishop OF the Archipelago
Prefer to Become Americans.

Manila, Sept. Tin an interview
here Arch bishop Dozal. of the Philip
pine Islands, said:
81 earnestly hope the islands will
not remain Spanish, because they ara
now SO strong that such . course
would inevitably cause appalling
bloodshed. The reconquest of the ma
tives is impossible until after years of
the most cruel warfare"
Hopes the Islands will Not Become Tnde-
dependent.
He also expressed the hope that the
islands would not become absolutely
independent, because it is certain that
discussions would occur which would
result in incessant strife and lapse
into barbarism and the natural indo-
lence of the tropical race. The only
hope, the archbishop said, was that
q strong western power would now
intervene. The danger was that the
people were intoxicated, vainglorious
and restless.
The Religious Orders Must Go.
1t is undeniable that the religious
orders must go, because the whole
people had determined to abolish them
now that they were able to render
their retention impossible. He lays the
chief blame upon the Dominicans,
Augustinians and Franciscans, the
richest organizations, and next upon
the Benedictines and Capuchins, which
are of less Importance. The Jesuits,
Archbishop Dozal says, are compare
lively blameless. He added that the
rival organizations quarrel among
themselves, intrigue, act unworthily
and SANDER their opponents, thus in
ereasing the general disfavor.
The provincials, who are approx
mately equivalent to archdeacons, are
mainly responsible. They are utterly
beyond the control of the archbishop,
who denies possessing much power.
Few Spanish Priests Remain.
The total number of Spanish priests
In the Philippines before the war was
about 1900, but lately every depart
ing steamer has taken SO or 100 of
them away and now barely 500 of
them remain.
It was stated to the correspondent
that the reason that the arch bishop
hopes for the expulsion of the friarly
orders, is that they have grown too
powerful for him and that he wishes to
strengthen himself. Several respon-
sible Spaniards assured the correspon-
dent that they would refuse to remain
here if Spain was reinstated in the
control of the stations.

DEATH OF MISS WINNIE DAVIS.

Narragansett Pierr, r. l., Sept 10. -
Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs. JEFF
ferson Davis, died at noon yesterday,
at the Rockingham hotel, to which
place she came as a guest in the early
part of the Piers social season. She
had been i'll for several weeks, and a
fortnight ago her ailment was dag

her condition became very serious, so
that consultations of physicians were
deemed necessary, but frequent rail-
lies gave renewed hope that she would
ultimately recover.

was her condition considered favora-

moval from the hotel would be posi-
BILE in a few days, as the hotel had
closed for the summer, leaving the
patient and attendants practically
alone in the house. Saturday night,
however, a relapse in Miss Davis con-
dition was noticed, and throughout
the night she lost strength percepti-
bly,.
Yesterday morning the physicians
said that the end was not far off, and
at noon death came to end the suffer
ing, which at times had been intense
Mrs. Davis had watched unremit-
tingly at her daughters bedside, and
she is now bowed with sorrow. The
physicians of Mrs. Davis report she is
holding up with great calmness in her
affection, and no fears are at present
entertained of her health yielding to
the strain.
