DIRECT FROM DAWSON.
Twenty Millions Will Be Brought Out
This Year.

Skaguay. May (via Victoria, B. c.,
May 6).-One more Yukoner, H. R.
Miller, formerly of Escanaba, Mich,
has succeeded in coming from Dawson
TO the coast over the trail He left
Dawson on March 81, arriving here on
April %. 1t is his opinion that naviga-
ton will open between Dawson and
st. Michael about June 1, or two weeks
earlier than usual, owing to the warm
weather that prevails on the Yukon. He
looks for a general breakup of the ice
this side of Dawson before the middle
OF May.
Miller says the steamers Bella and
Weare viii be likely to take the first
consignment of gold this year to St
Michael They are now with the Vic
toria and st. Michael in the ice, near
Circle City When the river opens the
Belle AID Weare will go to Fort Ham
lin for provisions, tax Q g out the gold
on her return trip from Dawson. The
Victoria and St Michael will steam to
Dawson, waiting there to take pros
pecting parties to the Stewart river
and other recently exploited territor-
les. Fully $40, 600 in gold will leave
Dawson this summer, according to Mil
ler's statements
No new strikes have been reported
near Dawson, but Miller says that re-
cent developments show that Sulphur
and Dominion creeks are each fully as
rich as Bonanza. He confirms the story

DEAD SET ON A BOND ISSUE
M'KINLEY WORRIED BY THE
sENATE'S PERVERSITY.
Has Received Information That the
Revenue Measure Will Be Re
ported With No Bond Provision.

Washington, May 6.-The senate
committee on finance today resumed
consideration of the revenue bill. The
Democrats had prepared some of the
amendments they will offer and these,
with other questions, were taken up for
consideration. The committee devoted
its forenoon session to the considera-
ton of a number of amendments sug-
gested by the Republican members to
the schedule devoted to stamp taxes.
There We're a large number of these
amendments, many of them dealing
with the phraseology of the bill, and
others with the rates. There is a gen
eral effort to find an effective way of
taxing contracts for future" sales, and
the indications are that some steps in
this direction will be made.
Senator Wolcott of Colorado offered
some amendments on this subject, in
addition to those proposed by his Re
publican colleagues. The Democrats
presented their amendment for a tax
on corporations, but it was not taken
up for consideration. This amendment
includes a tax on insurance and gas
companies.
The president has received positive
information that the senate committee
on finance, which is still struggling
measure with the bond feature elm
mated. This fact is causing the ad-
ministration great uneasiness and en-
barra ssment, and the statement is
made that the possibility of adverse
action of the full body of the senate is
a source of much anxiety. The presi-
dent laid before the cabinet the infor-
nation he had as to what is to be
looked for from the senate, and while
not expressing absolute confidence in
favorable action by the senate with the
bond feature reincorporated. expressed
the hope that there would be a salts
factory majority for the bond provis-
ion.
Should it not become a part of the
law, many urgent appropriations for
the war will have to be held back. The
money to be secured from bond sales,
it is reported, is needed imperatively
for the execution of the plans mapped
out, and adverse action by the senate
would be likely to interfere unless the
money is otherwise provided, and by as
speedy a method as the issuance of
bonds

ORCHARD DISTINCTION.
Utah Farmers Must Spray All Frui
Trees.

During the regular session of the Utah
state board of horticulture held in Salt
Lake City early in April. a communica-
ton was received by the board from one
of the fruit inspectors in Idaho stating
that the very stringent provisions of the
Idaho law will this year be enforced
against all infested fruit. The letter stated
specifically that Utah fruit last year was
badly infested with worms and if i'm
ported into Idaho this year in similar con-
dition, would be condemned under the
law.
The Utah board. upon receipt of the
above named letter. published the same in
the newspapers of this state and has
now issued the same, with comments
thereon, in the shape of flaming posters,
for information of the public. Inc board
desires again to call attention to the mat
ter through the press and to urge upon
all fruit growers the necessity of comply
ing with the horticultural law of Utah.
Aside from the fact that wormy fruit
exported will most likely be condemned
the Utah law provides penalties for fail
ure to comply with the rules formulated
by the state board of horticulture. Under
the provisions of the law. the board has
prescribed and promulgated suitable rules
and regulations for orchard disinfection.
Accompanying the rules are suggestions
based upon the experience and cbserva-
ton of the members of the board of hor-
ticulture an1 of numerous successful
fruit-growers throughout the state. The

reason is that the conditions are entirely

outbreak of the civil war. We have now
a considerable naval militia that is en-

force, and the organizations come into
service fully equipped with their own

along the whole line. OF course this
statement applies only to officers and
especially to applications for acting nav
masters, ensigns and leutenants. and is
not intended TO discourage enlistments

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION.
Vessel Had Permission to Land Pas
sengers and Mail.

anu 4t1et4Is
Washington, May 6.-An international
difficulty connected with the seizure OF
the French steamer Lafayette has been
removed by the prompt release of the
vessel, Immediately upon notice of her
capture reaching the state department.
The explanation for this action on the
part of the administration is given in
the statement which follows, and which
was issued from the White House to-
night:
THE Lafayette was released in pur-
suance of orders which were issued by
the navy department previous to her
seizure, but which had not been receiV-
ed by the commanding officers of the
vessels that made the capture. The
facts are that on April 80 the French
embassy made an informal inquiry as
TO whether the Lafayette, which left
st. Nazaire, France, for Vera Cruz, by
way Of Havana, before war was de-
clared or information of the blockade
was received, would be allowed to land
In Havana her passe. q ers, her mail
bags and the dispatch Jag of the con-
Sulate general of France, and take some
French passengers on board. An as
surance was given that if this privilege
should be granted, the steamer would
be forbidden by the French consul to
land goods.
The matter was duly considered, and
ii was decided that, without regard to
the strict law of blockade, and as an
act OF courtesy, the request of the
French government should be acceded
TO. Orders were accordingly sent on
the second day of May.
When information was received of
the capture of the steamer, and of her
having been brought to Key West,
these orders were communicated to her
captors, with instructions TO release the
steamer, and to see that the orders
were duly delivered, so that they might
be carried into effect. No demand was
made either by or on behalf of the
French government, directly or indi-
rectly, for the steamers release

Tacoma, Wash, May 6.-About 20

by some of the company commanders
that if the same per centage of men
were refused they would take their
companies home and make no attempt
to be mustered in.
The officers also agreed upon a tele-
gram, which was sent to Washington
today, asking that the examining and
mastering officers be instructed to adj
nit the line officers of the regiment
without subjecting them to the physi-
cal examination.

SUTR0'S DAUGHTERS FIGHT.
Fierce Struggle For Possession Of
the Demented millionaire.

San Francisco, May ga struggle for
the custody of the person of Adolph
Sutro, millionaire and ex-mayor of San
Francisco, took place at Sutro Heights.
DR.. Emma Merritt, the legal guardian
of the person and the estate of her
father, removed him in an ambulance
from the family homestead to her new
home on the corner of Van Ness
avenue and Suffer street. She was
fiercely resisted by Miss Clara Sutro,
her sister, who created wild scene at
the home.
Miss Sutro asserts that Dr. Merritt
kidnapped her father, who, in his pres
ent feeble state, is unable to make any
resistance. DIR. Merritt replies that
she has simply acted for the best inter
ests of her father, and that as his legal
guardian she is entitled to the custody
of his person. Her reason for remov-
ing him from the old homestead was
that she might have him at her home,
where he would receive more careful
treatment and where he would be under
her constant supervision.

BREADsRI0TS IN ITALY.
Disorders Are Extending and Reach
Serious Proportions.

Rome, May 6.-There were renewed
bread riots in Pavia yesterday evening.
The rioters stretched chains across the
streets in order to prevent cavalry
charges. Several soldiers and civilians
were injured. A riotous mob surround
ed a detachment of troops at Seyso
Fiorintino, and the soldiers fired a vol
ley, killing three of their assailants and
wounding four others. There were fresh
disorders at PratO, ten miles northwest
of Florence, today.
The extension of the bread riots to
central ard northern Italy is regarded
as an extremely serious feature of the
case, because the people in that section
are more enlightened and better edu-
Gated, and there will be great difficulty
in suppressing the agitation.
Some Of the worst rioting has oc-
