THE cZAR'S IDEA.
It Is Thought to Be Commcndable, but
Imprncticable.

London, Aug. 29.-The papers are
filled with discussions, comments and
opinions as to the circular of the EN-
peror Nicholas. The most world-shak-
ing event could hardly have produced
such n coup as this suggestion, the
fruition of which is regarded on all
sides us an absolute impossibility.
This being holiday season, 1t is diff
ficult to obtain the opinions of public
men on the subject. The religious
world. however, loudly welcomes and
praises the Cars noble Initiative.
Numerous bishops have already eX-
pressed their views in that sense.
Among statesmen Interviewed, Lord
Kimberly, the Liberal leader, de-
clined to express hasty opinion, be-
yond saying that the proposal was one
of the utmost Importance.
The Marquis of Ripon said:
II heartily wish the proposal all sue
cess"
Sir Charles Dixie, Radical member of
Parliament for the Forest of Dean, re-
marked: "The Russian peace footing of
nearly million regulars exceeds the
peace footing of Germany, Austria and
Italy combined. Thus, 1t has been in
Russia's power to reduce the land
forces by diminishing her own, in con-
necti0n with n similar action on the
part of Germany.
"French public opinion is not pre-
pared for disarmament which would
mean, as things stand now, an accept
ance of the Alsace-L Lorraine situation.
Naval disarmament would be danger
GUS for Great Britain. Any formal plan
would involve subsequent breaches of
faith, but If Germany and Russia will
cease Increasing their forces we can
follow without formal agreement"
Paris, Aug. 20.-The French newspa-
pers generally distrust the practicable
ty of the Cars peace scheme, and
clearly indicate that France would
make the restoration of Alsacc-Lor-
raine a prerequisite to her participation
In the conference.
Berlin, Aug. 29.-The North German
Gazette, referring to-day to the Cars
peace conference proposals, remarks:
Our armaments Were never intend
ed for selfish ends. but only for our
own protection and for the main
tenance of peace. We are willing 10
give Il fair trial 10 another method of
attaining the object at a smaller cost"
The National Ieitung says:
The Car and his ministers have not
deluded themselves with the idea that
they can rid the world of the causes
which for years have been responsible
for the growing armamcnts. When n
great power. however. addresses such
proposals 10 others, they will be rccog-
nized everywhere as deserving of the
most serious consideration"

"The war with Spain is doing with
the 1-ceni piece what retail traders and
the postal department failed to do"
according to the San Francisco Chron-
icle. "The measure which congress
framed for raising revenues with
which to carry on the war makes II
necessary for every one engaged In
business to handle the copper cent.
The telegraph cannot be used withou,
afiixing l-cent revenue stamp on the
written message. and no check can
pass over the counter OF n bank and
be honored without similar treatment.
This war measure has thus forced on
the Pacific coast without opposition a

recede from former action and concur

to the committee on roads and bridges
and metropolitan affairs sitting jointly.
Senator Bennett of Essex moved that
the senate adhere and refer it to roads
and bridges alone.
The senate adhered by killing Senator
DaJlinger's motion, 8 to 10.
Bills relative to inquests and fees in
district, police and municipal courts; to
equalize the salaries of assistant dis
trict attorneys for the Suffolk district,
and to provide a steamer to replace the

WE'RE FORTUNATE
To Live in These Days of
Improvement.
Can as Great Strides be Made Dur
ing the Next Century as were
Made in the Last?
There Is Still Chances for Advance
ment in Many Things.

Suppose you were obliged to go to New
York? Wouldn't it seem strange to you to
get into an old-fashioned, musty-smelling,
jolting stage coach? 1t was not so many
years ago that people had to travel that
way.
Think Of the inconvenience, think of
the hardships, even, they were obliged to
suffer; and think of the time consumed.
We doubt whether these experiences tend
ed to lengthen their lives.
1t is just so with hundreds of other
things. A great improvement is an
nounced. We marvel at it for few days,
and then accept it as matter of course.
Now, If it is necessary to go to some dis
tant city, we are made as comfortable, If
not more so, than as though We remained
right in our homes, and few hours brings
us, without fatigue, to our destination
There is not man living who would pre-
fer the old way after he has experienced
the delights of modern methods.
But it is not in travel alone that improve
ment has been made. There are many
other things much more vital to the uli-
mate good of man than easier methods of
going from place to place, and nothing
probably will illustrate this better than the
-talked-of Vinol for In Vinol we see
what has formerly been a necessity. at
tended with the most disagreeable fea-
lures, transformed into what is really a
luxury.
In Vinol we have the elements of what
has been the greatest medicine known to
man for the cure of wasting diseases of
every description, namely, cod liver oil;
but in Vinol we have none of the obiec-
features 1iVap
oil.
AS Mr.. George e. Fairbanks of our city,
Who has connected himself with the New
! York firm of chemists producing these
goods, will tell you, and as many other
druggists in town would endorse him,
Vinol Is the essence of all that is good in
cod river oil. Vinol is not a patent medi-
cine; thence its popularity with physi-
clans as well as the public. The manner
OF producing Vinol is new discovery. 1t
is the result of a special process by which
extracted from the liver Of the live cod,
leaving behind the fat and grease.
Just the right proportions needed of this
extract is dissolved in q delicate table
wine, and so today, in the line of medicine,
all who have found it necessary to take
cod liver, Oil may do away with all the
d1sagreeable features of the Old way, dis
carding the horrible grease, which may
be likened to the numbering and unhealthfut
vehicle of travel Of the past, and take in
stead, as Mr.. Fairbanks himself. in sneak
ing Of the matter, described it, "the eIe-
CANT and modern veStibuled train of
medicine, finding in Vinol the elements 50
much. needed to restore health, entirely
disguised and much more rapid and eff
cient in the manner that they operate than
could nave been expected in the old and
cumbersome way in which this valuable
remedy was formerly taken.

KLoNDIKE FACTS.
A Pictorial Guide to the Gold Fields of
Alaska, With official Maps.

A photograph is fact. There are two
things that cannot lie-the, camera ana tig-
ures. Tricks can be performed with ng-
ures, and strikingly good limitations may
be made of Photographic prints by pro
cess known as wash drawing" But both
fall before the eye of the expert.
With q view to picturing with convlnc-
ing and realistic accuracy those places in
the new wonderland of Alaska and North
west Territory, an expedition, backed py
Journalistic enterprise, and made up Of
men of pluck, brain and sinew, was or
ganized to invade the Ice Kings home, ii
was a photographers expedition, the in
vasion was accomplished and the invaders
conquered. As a result. a series OF pho
tographic reproductions of scenes en- route
to and in and about the gold fields is now
ready to be issued by the Spy.
Many wonderful things, We're witnessed
by the party of photographers in collecting
this series of views, all of winch nave
been photographed. while accompanying
each picture Is vivid description OF the
scene presented. These descriptions en-
body a practical guide to those who will
journey northwestward while for those
who remain at home it will afford an op-
portunity to take mental journey through
the land where the sun beats down 20
hours a day upon the delivers after treas
ure.
Commencing with Juneau, Skaguay and
Dyea, the series takes one up the Dyea
river to the head of navigation, where the
stores Of provisions and the huge pieces OF
sectional boats must be packed up the
Crater lake, and carefully carried down
the other side of the mountains to Lake
Linderman, where the boats are put to-
gether at Lake Linderman ship yards.
Then the water route commences and
White Horse Rapids, Miles Canyon and
other danger points are passed. Thus is
the journey pictured, as the argonauts
whom the photographers accompanied go
forward, following the courses of rivers
and lakes until the Yukon-the giant Yu-
kon-with its hundreds Of tributaries, is
reached. And each stage of the journey Is
photographed Effectively, beautifully,
artistically, realistically. 1t IS with some
degree of pride that the Spy announces
the distribution of this series. Readers
will doubtless give due credit to the enter
prise that has developed what at the be-
ginning appeared to be a hazardous, al
most impracticable idea.
Alaska has played quiet part in the
history of the world. From the year when
first known, in $50 A. D., to 1886, about the
only thing to attract more than passing
notice to that vast piece of real estate was
its purchase by MIR. Seward and the seal
fishery question. But, in the language of
the turfman, "She's offp' and "in the lead
of the bunch now, and it will be a great
surprise to all the world If she is put
among the group OF 'also rams" later

this announcement is advertised and the
