Reindeer Expedition a Failure.

The complete failure of the Alaskan
reindeer expedition was announced to
the war department this morning in a
telegram from Brigadier General Mer-
riam, commanding the department of
the Columbia, says a late Washington
dispatch. This telegram summarizes a
report from DR.. Sheldon at Dyea to the
effect that the reindeer are a failure in
Alaska for want OF proper forage and
useless for all the exploring expeditions
in Alaska; that many are already dead.
On the advice of Captain Ray, and his
own judgment, Or. Jackson recommends
the recall Of the expedition. remarking
that Captain Ray brings full informa-
ton of the region it was expected to
explore, and that the services of Captain
Brainard are no longer required in that
connection. Expedition No. referred
to was to have proceeded to Dawson
from Dyea over the Dawson trail in
command Of Captain Brainard. Ac-
cordingly an order was issued at the
war department today relieving Captain
Brainard from further duty with the
expeditions and directing him to report
to commissary general of subsistence at
Washington.

The War With Spain.

Many have only the vaguest notion Of
the character of war that is about to be
waged against Spain, says the Sioux
City Journal. 1t will be largely a war
on the ocean, a war of navies, although
there will doubtless be an invasion of
Cuba by an American army acting in
| conjunction with the Cuban patriots.
But only omparatively a few soldiers
will be needed. 1t would be folly to
maintain a larger army than is actually
needed. 1t would be sheer waste
| Probably not more than $4,000 or at
most 100, 600 soldiers will be called for
at first, in addition to the present mill
tary establishment. This is a small
number in comparison with the re-
sources of this nation in men capable of
military service. We have population
Of 100000, of whom doubtless from
100000 to 100000 are capable of
military service. Only about one out OF
fifty or seventy.five who are capable Of
military service will be called at first.
These men ought to be carefully select
ed. The ones who are accepted ought
to be the very pick of the nation for
this purpose. The young men, men
who have no dependent families, who
have knowledge and training in arms,
who are specially adapted physically
and otherwise, ought to go. Many will
want to go who ought not to 60 and who
can serve their country better by stay
ing at home and taking care of their
families. So, too, there is certain to be
great competition and rush for places
of emolument and honor in the war
| Comparatively few can succeed in secur.
ing the prizes, or what are regarded as
the prizes. There will be q multitude
of disappointments. Americans are a
restless, enterprising, adventurous tribe
There will be veritable uprising to get
into the war the moment it begins. II
is better to look at the matter coolly in
advance and to calculate the chances.
1t will be better to arrange for good
average of patriotism running over a
considerable period, for this war may
not close so quickly as some fancy. For
war is not a pleasure excursion or a
mere dress parade. 1t means sacrifice
and loss and patience and disappoint
ment. A gay uniform and glistening
bayonet are thrilling sight, but each
bayonet in the field means investment
of thou sands Of dollars. Each charge
that is rammed home in big modern
cannon is literally wadded with bank
notes. We will do better to reserve
some of our light hearted enthusiasm
for the middle and the end of cam.
paign that may last longer than we
think. We are not the first people that
have fooled ourselves with such cries as
"On to Richmond" and con to Berlin
War is serious business. We should
go about il in all seriousness.

The Climax Reached.

The status Of the war question has
been materially changed since our Issue
of last week, and the situation is now
such as to warrant the statement thai
the grand climax has been reached. II
may now be definitely stated that moth
| ing short Of positive back down upon
the part Of Spain can prevent i'm
mediate hostilities.
The joint Cuban resolution passed bv
congress and signed by the president
which cannot be regarded as being
otherwise than virtual declaration ol
war on the part of this country, is al
follows:
Resolved, BY the Senate and House oi
Representatives of the United States oi
America in congress assembled:
First-That the people of the Island
| of Cuba are, and of right ought to be-
free and independent.
Second-That it is the duty of the
United States to demand, and the gov
ernment Of the United States does here.
by demand, that the government oi
Spain at once relinqush it's authority
and government in the Island of Cuba
and withdraw it's land and naval forces
from Cuba and Cuban waters.
Third-That the President Of the
United States be and he hereby is di
rected and empowered to use the entire
land and naval forces of the United
States and call into actual service of the
United States the militia of the several
states. to such extent as may be neces.
sary to carry these resolutions into
effect
Fourth-That the United States here.
by dIsclalms any disposition or inten-
ton to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction
or control over the said island except
for the pacifcation thereof, and asserts
its determination when that is accom-
plished to leaye the government and
control of the island to it's people.
Following the passage of the above
resolution, the president submitted his
ultimatum to Spain, giving the Spanish
government until noon today Saturday
to withdrew its troops from, and re-
linquish control Of Cuba. The action OF
congress created bitter feeling in
Madrid against the United States, and
Minister Woodford was given his pass
ports before he had delivered the presi.
dents ultimatum, which action was
regarded by our government as decla
ration of war, and action was at once
taken in accordance with such con-
clusion, in providing for the call OF
volunteers and making all necessary
preparations for the pending conflict.
The U. S. naval feet lying at Key West
sailed for Havana at 2:30 o'clock p. m.
on Thursday with instructions to block
ade that port at once, which marks the
rise Of the curtain upon the first practi-
cal act in the dire drama Of the Spanish
American war.
Excitement has reached the boiling
point, the stars and stripes are waving
on every hand and American patriotism
pure, and undefiled by even taint OF
jingoism, registers ll6 in the shade.

State Finances,

State Treasurer X. G. Phillips was In
his customary amIable mood yesterday
and was interviewed by a reporter for
the PioneerTimes upon the subject Of
the states finances. "Ihe state was
never in more prosperous condition,
generally, nor more easy condition as
regards its finances, than at the present
time" remarked Mr.. Phillips. "This is
demonstrated by the unusually large
collections for March and so far this
month. We have a very large amount
of money in the different funds, which
| will soon pay out for the redemption of
bonds, be distributed among the schools
and be disbursed for the ordinary cur
rent expenses Of the various depart
ments and Institutions" And at this
Mr.. Phillips exhibited a statement or
trial balance he had just received from
his deputy, Mr.. burlington, showing
the amount Of the cash balance and
| the amounts in the different funds.
| The cash balance on March 3lst was
$5l6, 6,539.l5, and upon April 10Th, it was
$595, ,63209. OF the amount on hand
March 3lst, SI7S,762.46 is in the bond

The redemption ofstate 3 per cent bonds,
before the first of July, this year
Treasurer Phillips may redeem some Of
the 4! per cent bonds also. Upon the
3lst Of March the general fund was
credited with $ll5,20S.27 and the COM
mon school fund with $63, 1854 this
will be distributed among the schools
together with the other collections TO
come in June, on June lst.
A special sinking fund is being estab-
lIshed for the redemption Of ''constitu-
tional" bonds, due in 1900. This issue
amounts to 100000. and there is
$66, 1890 now in that fund.
For the redemption of the $97, 900
worth bonds due in 1905, there is $l6.-
sl4.G9 in the sinking fund.
The collections from taxes, interest
on school funds invested and from all
other sources for the month Of March
were about $350000, which Mr.. Phillips
says were unusually large. During the
months of May and June a greater por.
ton Of this vast sum of money on hand
will be disbursed. There never before
has been such a vast amount on hand
at one time, and it is due to the extra
ordinarily excessive receipts of the past
two months, while the disbursing peri
cd has not arrived.

"The Kansas City Star says: Demo
Gratis who are bitterly assailing the
president have nothing but words OF
praise for Consul General Lee, yet there
has not arisen a single circumstance to
show that Gen. Lee is not in full accord
with the policy of the administration.
He has Loyalty co-operated with the
president in every act. and Mr.. Nc.
Kinley has Kept him at Havana because
of this loyal CO ooperation and because OF
his eminent ability to serve his country
