adequate means of transporting food supplies. In the estimation of Profess sor Dall, not less than 10000 people will seek the gold fields this season. Should that number succeed in reach- ing the Yukon, there will be grave danger of famine next winter unless the governments of Canada and the United States make strong efforts to have adequate transportation lines completed.
 In the opinion of Professor Dall the Yukon river service is wholly made quate to provide necessary supplies. The new boats expected next summer will be obliged to rely on driftwood gathered along the river banks for fuel. This wood Is dead spruce. Green spruce canont be used for fire wood, while the gathering of the wood cast on shore by the river at flood is a tedious process causing long delays. A'oesIS SoiSuiue dpuuL tWtlNS COIuS, OL the light fuel day. Transportation of coal from Vancouver for use on the river boats is suggested, and possibly an effort in that direction will be made. There Is some coal on the head waters of the Yukon, but it must be first floated down stream on barges to help boats to steam up stream.
 Professor Dall says: 'The true in- terest of Canada as we'll as the United States lies in the fullest development of the resources of the region, and without accepting all possible means of transportation this is impossible" The general neglect of Alaska and the Klondike by the newspaper press on account of the Cuban crisis will doubt less result in less formidable move ment to the north than was expected last winter. This change in the sub- ject of discussion is likely to be of great advantage, in keeping down the migration, and saving health and life.
 Congress should give attention to the matter of guarding our interests in Alaska. Some valuable legislation has been enacted, but an adequate system ought to be inaugurated to guard against famine next winter.

QUE FOREST LAMENTATIONS.

All that Congress can do for the nec- essary preservation and protection of our natural forest reservations should be done. This is an important matter and neither private nor corporation greed should be countenanced in the case. It will be remembered that Pres ident Cleveland in executive orders set apart certain lands in the states of Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Washing ton, Idaho and South Dakota as forest reservations. This action met as it merited the warm approval of all who recognize the importance of preserving the forests about the headwaters of inn portant streams, affiuents of the Mis- souri, the Columbia and other great rivers, and the necessity of the reten- ton of waters in the mountains and the keeping of the vital springs of those streams. Americans are gradu- ally awakening to the importance of this subject of forest preservation and begin to see that efforts in that line are not mere sentimentality; that vast evil will be wrought if the indiscriminate destruction of forests goes on without check or hindrance. The trouble in the case arises from mans greed. The ap- peal "Woodman spare that tree" has no charm for the sordid money getter who wants to convert national forests into dollars for his own pocket. The forests of the United States have been unmercifully robbed by the lumbermen all through the West and almost with out protest. Even in the national parks like the Yellowstone and the Yosemite, this devastation has been going on until quite recently. No doubt the reservation made by execu- tive order are being robbed in like manner at present. Where the rights of private ownership have perchance of this national reservation the remedy is simple and the just and equitable boundary will be fixed upon. But such just and equitable claims are not nu- merous and the great and paramount necessity of forest preservation by law in the national reserves is appealing more and more strongly to public sen- timent.

THE NATIONS voiCE.

Congress has spoken on the Cuban question, and there can be but one in- terpretation of it's concert of action. It means prompt intervention by the United States between Spain and Cuba and the execution of the plans outlined in the Presidents message, although the resolutions go much further than was desired by the President and the House. The President, now that the recognition clause is stricken out, will, it Is now expected, give his approval of the action of Congress to-day
 accompanying it with his ultima tum to Spain. Now, therefore, this country moves at once for the restora- tion of peace in Cuba and the estab- lishment there of stable government
 What Spain will do at the meeting of the Cortez to-day remains to be seen. Her voice is for war. judging from the tenor of yesterdays dispatches from
 Madrid. If she reads alright the hand
 writing upon the wall, she will fold her tents like the Arab and silently steal away from Cuba. She has been remorselessly stealing away in Cuba for many generations. She has ruth lessly plundered the island and has so misgoverned it as to create amending riot and revolution there and a condi- tion of affairs that Is constant men, ace to the peace of this country. Cu- ba owes her nothing. Loyalty, fealty, respect for Spain, are dead with the
 Cubans. Spain for two years or more has tried in vain to quell the insurrec- ton there, to vanquish the men who are bravely fighting there for freedom from galling tyranny. This nation has spoken, and it remains for Spain either to yield and voluntarily retire from the island or accept the alternative. Congress has settled it's differences. The hatchet is buried. The opponents to the Presidents plan have had their political innings and delivered their
 speeches, all of which are duly record- ed and will be made known to their
 constituents. Now, all stand together in union and harmony on a platform
 that will bring no dishonor. Party differences are now dropped, and the action of Congress will have the loyal support of the whole nation. If war comes now, as seems inevitable, the United States stands as the champion of a cause, righteous, unselfish and mo- ble

from the wrist by a long scarf of nar- row ribbon, a pretty variation of this notion being made by tucking the fan through the sash at the belt, while the ribbon that attaches it to the wrist hangs in a pretty loop. For such use ribbon spangled according to the cur rent fad will be much in favor, and the charm of fan is much increased when each motion of it is followed by the glittering of the pretty ribbon attach ed The feather fan appears in new model. The plumes or quills are ar ranged around central circle filled in by little mirror in jeweled frame This is after the peacock feather fan style, but peacock feathers are still considered unlucky and so are little used
 These dainty accessories will be fine ly in touch with the general air of fuffiness that is to characterize next summers girl, and will be effective quick-firing weapons in her coquettish batteries. Given the right sort of sum- mer girl, and one fan is almost as good as another, but outfitted with the new sorts she will look better in the eyes of those not directly in the line of her glances. But we are not to wait till summer for fuffiness. Already the trimmings of gowns take on the deli cate, perishable look that comes from the free employment of diaphanous or namentation. The dress shown here was significant of this fact. Of gray ish green moire velours, it's bodice bloused in front only and was there arranged to frame plain plastron of the material. This was bordered with very dainty revers composed of shir- red black chiffon, band of jetted tulle and two wider ruffles of chiffon edged with black chenille. Chiffon trimmed the collar, and the epaulettes consisted of a series of chiffon frills edged with chenille. Collar and belt were of black satin ribbon. FLORETTE.

 Brander Matthews on This Adjunct of
 the Drama.
 It is an indisputable necessity of the acted drama that the performers shall so pitch their voices as to be heard all over the house, and that they shall so place themselves on the stage as to keep their faces visible from all parts of the theater. These are both devia- tions from ordinary usage, since com mon sense tells us that man does not discuss his private affairs in tones to be heard by thousand people, and the doctrine of probabilities assures us that only quarter of the time would a couple face toward any given point of the compass Even when two char acters alone on the stage whisper to- gether, not to be overheard by other characters supposed to be in the next room, they can but pretend to lower their voices, since what they say must be audible to the audience--or else why say it? Many critic, accustomed to blank verse and to the absence of the fourth wall of room and to a hundred other conventions he blindly accepts, unconscious that they, too are out of
 
 stage whisper the aside" and the "soliloquy," holdingsthem to be little too flagrantly unreal. It is not to be denied that the aside and the soliloquy are labor saving devices which some dramatists have worked hard. The easy convenience of soliloauy by means of which a tortuous character can un- deceive the audience, while taking in the other personages of the play, has been too tempting to many play wright The conscientious dranatist has tended of late to get along without the aside and solilequy. The young CT Dumas and Ibsen and William Gill cite Gin Secret Service'o have proved that it Is perfectly possible to eschew them both. Here the later playwright holds to a higher standard of technic than the earlier, just as Moliere made us perceive Tartuffe's evil purpose without single self-explanatory aside while Shakespeare had allowed Iago to unbosom himself freely to the audience in the intervals of the hideous machi- nations. After all, what is the conven- tion underlying the soliloquy. It Is that Hamlet, for example, is a man in l the habit of thinking aloud when alone. Few of us would refuse to sign this agreement at the cost of losing ITO be or not to be-" Few of us, on the other hand, fail to think that the per- mission is strained when we find Ro- meo overhearing Juliet's soliloquy on I the balcony. Moliere took this license as well as Shakespeare, for in 'L'Ecole des Femmes'' the Notary overhears the | soliloquy of Arnoiphe.-From Sribner's.

 TRAVEL A PLEASURE THEN.

RemiNiscence of the Days of River
 Steanlboating.
 Few people appreciate the fact that between 1850 and 1860 an enormous traffic was carried on by steamboat on the Missouri river between St. Louis an Kansas City," said w. R. Bernard of Westport the other day. Tt will probably surprise you when I tell you that there are 52 packets regularly ply ing between St Louis and Kansas City, and some even as far north as Council Bluffs. This does not include the tram sients which, during the summer months, went sometimes as far as the Yellowstone.
 'Those were great days then" con- tinued MT. Bernard, as he heaved a sigh, as if he regretted that they were gone forever. Nowadays people trav- cling think it is a great hardship if -

One effect of the war talk is to les- sen the rush to the Klondike, but nev- ertheless there still remains a large amount of interest in that auriferous region. The April number of the Geo. graphical Magazine is wholly devoted to the Alaskan gold fields, and is H. lustrated by g map issued by the inter- for department. This map is the re- suit of the labors of the United States coast and geodetic survey and the geological survey. All known gold and coal regions are clearly marked

they do not make the trip between here and St. Louis in 12 hours, but in those days 1t was different. Travel was tru- ly pleasure, and time was no particu- lar object. The packets speak of were Vertable floating palaces, as far as the passengers comfort was concern ed heir capacity averaged from 300 to 400 passengers, and each had band or musicians abroad. On summer nights the passengers, would dance, and you can imagine that such q pleasure under the conditions would be entrancings The packets were not as large as those used on the Mississippi, but they were just as fine"
 How much freight could be carried on an average boat?" was asked.
 T should judge that 400 tons would be an average load. You see, at that time Westport was the outfitting point for the entire southwestern country, even as far down as Chihuahua, Mex, and there was a great deal of freight billed through from the east by way of St. Louis. Along the river there were quite number of live, busy little towns, which were notable landing points for hemp tobacco and the like, which are now either gone out of ex- istence or are mere villages. For in- stance, there is Rocheport, which is nothing but a memory; Sibley, of no importance whatever, and Parkville and Weston are of the same sort. Glasgow, Boonville, Waverly and Lex ington were prominent river points,
 What was the passenger fare charg- ed between here and St. Louis, MT. Bernard?'
 From S10 to $20 one way. Not so very much. when it is taken into con- sieration that on the down trip three days were taken and the passengers were fed upon a fare that would cost at east $2.50 ay at any St. Louis hotel. Coming hack, it took four days, The service on these packets were most ex- cellent. A small army of trained ser wants waited upon the tables, which were furnished with the finest linen and service. The quality of the cook ing was proverbially good In this day of rapid living I doubt that such ex- cellent mode of pleasant travel would be appreciated. Travel then meant pleasure, whereas to-ay the object is largely to make fast time"
 What has become of all those boats?" inquired the reporter.
 T really ont know. Probably gone the ways of all other things perishable. see by the papers that they are min- ing for the whisky supposed to be in the hull of the old Arabia, which went own near Parkville. That disposes of one. Then there is the Twilight, which went down near Napoleon. Perhaps the most serious and shocking fate which befell a Missouri river packet was that of the Saluda, which blew up at Lexington in the spring of 1860. The river was rising rapily, and west of Lexington there is a bend in the river, and after several intellectual attempts to round it the boat fell back and put on full head of steam, only to be bown up, completely destroying it and killing 200 Mormons, who were on their way to Independence. The safe per fectly intact, was blown to the crest of | hill, $50 feet away. What has really become of all the boats I cannot say but these three fatal ones furnish the most notable of packet traffic mishaps Kansas City Times.

Adorable affairs which unfurled look like a collection of flower petals are spangled and fluff ed with lace.

Populism is waning with dollar wheat and prosperity. The Portland Orego- nian says: ''The defeat of the Demo- Populist- Silver Fusion at Tacoma, fol- lowing hard upon the like result at Seattle shows beyond question that the political tide in the State of Wash ington Is receding from the high water mark of populism that it reached in 1896. The vote in Pierce county, in which Tacoma is situated, stood thus in 1896: Bryan, 5,9S4; Mckinley 4,s41; Bryan's majority, 753. Most of the vote of the county is in the city of Taco ma. The election of the whole Re- publican ticket at Tacoma now, by strong majorities, is one more indica- tion that the people of the State of Washington on the issues presented by Populism, are recovering their judg- ment."
