A Week of Anxiety.

The week has been one of in
tense excitement, and the people
are now anxiously waiting the
action of Congress. -."
On Monday President McKin-
ley presented his war message to
Congress. The message declared
for armed Intervention, and the
President asked for instructions.
A great many people were dis
appointed in that the message
did not recognize the independ-
ence of Cuba, but as we under.
stand the matter armed inter.
vention" would mean the evacua.
ton of Spanish troops from the
island and the Cubans would be
lett to perfect a stable govern.
ment, providing they are capable
of such, and would eventually re.
ceive recognition.
On Wednesday the House
passed a resolution, by a large
vote, directing the President tc
intervene Immediately, but in the
Senate the resolution received
strong opposition by those who
favor the recognition of the Gu
ban government.
Amy delay at this time is very
unsatisfactory to the country, a
there is a growing feeling tina
there has already been too mucl
delay. We believe that the Pres
ident will act promptly whel
Congress reaches a final decision
The matter is now wholly in tn
hands of Congress.

Derivation Of tho word klona,...

Derivation of tho Word Klondiks,
1.-THE River Trip to the Klondike"
is the title of an article by John Sid
ney Webb in The Century. MI. Webb
says:
Frem Dawson City the trail to the
mines leads over a steep hill to the
creek made so famous by its tribu-
taries, for there is not a single mine
on the principal stream, which in
the miners slang is called Klondike,
and yet this stream does in reality
bear a characteristic name given It
by the Indians, which is utterly
murdered by this pronunciation,
now so common.
The Indians name the creeks
throughout the country from some
characteristic in connection with the
stream itself, and as this one is so
swift that in order to set their salm-
on traps or nets they were obliged
to use a hammer to drive the stakes
to anchor them the creek was named
by them Hammer creek, or, in their
language, Theoretically, Troan Dix.
The spelling Klondike means abso-
lutely nothing, but has been accept
I'd, 80 I learn, by the board Of geo.
graphical names Of the United
States.

They seemed to me like beings from an
other planet; and their long parkees
reaching to the knee and bordered with
fur at neck and wrist; their fierce, bristly
looking fur caps and bundled up feet
helped to heighten the illusion. They
were a party direct from Dawson and as
they halted opposite me ventured to
address one of them. He was a very
pleasant looking man. though his face
was bronzed and frost-bitten by exposure
and he informed me that they had had a
fair trip u Had found the weather
very cold when they started. Had laid
up for n feace wind storm-something
almost unknown, inside-and had been
t%wenty-nine days on their way. There
were six of them and they had a team Of
five native dogs. On their sleds were
strapped their tents and a few blackened
cooking utensils. One young man said
he was glad to be back in Gods country,
mo %three-dollar pie for him." l
asked about Mr.. Beckett and found that
several Of the party knew him. He was
at Sulphur creek when they left Dawson.
asked about the reports of rich strikes
at Big and Little Salmon rivers and they
informed me that nothing definite was
known yet, though colors had been found
there. The latest strike was on Walsh
creek, below Big Salmon. l must not
forget to mention those from home who
we have met here. Jerry Hayes came
over to Dyea with a team and wagon the
day before we left there and brought our
first load up here. He will do well

American Securities Abroad.

The sales of American securities have
been, according to London advices, very
large abroad of late. If this state of
things holds, there will be an increasing
influx of British gold into this market.
This demonstrates the faith abroad in
the stability of u credit. There is an
other point of faith for which the people
not only of this but foreign countries have
good grounds for credence, and that is
belief in the efficacy of Hostetter's 'Stom-
ach Bitters for inorganic maladies which
effect the stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys
and nerves. Dyspepsia, biliousness, con-
stipation and rheumatism are conquered
by it. 1t hastens convalescence, and
