Have Arrived Safely.

The Milwaukee and Watertown peO-
pie forming the Milwaukee-Alaska
Gold Mining and Dredging COM
pany's expedition to Alaska have ar
rived safely at ST. Michaels. Follow
inc is an extract from letter written
by Henry Liefeldt and published in
The Sentinel, giving particulars of
the trip:
eve are here at last. Just think
of it-all safe and everybody healthy
and in good spirits. Our boat stood
the severe voyage through the Pacific
splendidly, while other expeditions of
towed vessels proved total failures.
Nineteen river boats which were be-
ing towed were lost. The Chicago
boat A. J..Beach and the Evans, which
left week ahead Of us, went down;
passengers and crew were saved. We
left St. Paul's harbor on Kadiak island,
July Is, and made one stop at Uniniak
bay, July II, to transfer coal to the
Del Norte, the steamer that lows our
vessels. We entered Behring sea two
days afterwards, and forged straight
ahead, arriving at ST. Michaels last
, Tuesday, July 26.
"Our trip was pleasant and inter
esting. Passing by the Pribilof
islands, we saw number of seals,
several of which followed us for some
distance. Dr. Toussaint shot whale
near this place. just before reach
ing the neighborhood of St. Michaels
we had a severe storm. 1t began Fri

she went through the water like a

abated, and we entered ST. Michaels
harbor amid the whistling of dozen
steamers. There are at least thirty
ships anchored here, all laden with
freight.

compelled to wait here, having paid
their fare through to Dawson City,

board between here and the mo nth of
the Yukon. Nine ships out of twelve
that Moran Bros. sent here arrived
Tuesday evening in bad shape. They
started from Seattle under their own
steam and were out sixty days. ST.
Michaels itself is far from being the
town | expected to see. More people
are living in tents than in houses.
The houses have been built within the
last year by the Atlantic Commercial
company and consist of store houses,
employees quarters and government
buildings. The only other houses
are log huts owned by Indians and Es-
quimaux.
! Il had quite conversation yester-
day with an old Dawson miner. He
and three others came all the way
from Dawson in an open boat. He is
going to Seattle, but will return again
in the fall He stated that 1000
miners in the Klondike mines refused
to work their claims on account of the
10 per cent. royalty, and he also ex-
poets that they will have a miners
riot up there soon. Only about So
100000 are registered at Dawson,
while over $2O,OOO,O0O are supposed
to have been mined this year without
being registered. At present great
boom is reported from Rampant City.
The Minook district has proven very
rich also.
Provisions are high here and
everywhere in Alaska, but they do
not find ready sale because the
miners as rule have enough for
themselves. The strikes of gold re-
ported on the Big Salmon, Pelly and
Rose Bud rivers have been proven to
be fakes. Yesterday we got up steam
in one boiler AND made trial trip.
Our boat works like charm. We
have all we want to eat, plenty OF
work and are all anxious to start on
the voyage up the river"

Change of Venue.

Judge Grimm having refused to DIS.
solve the temporary injunction grant
ed to E. 2. and George Koenig, re-
straining the city Of Watertown from
filling up the east side mill race, City
Attorney Pease, on behalf of the de-
PENDANT, last Friday moved for a
change of venue to the circuit court
and demurred to the complaint on
two grounds, namely: First, that the
complaint does not state facts sufficient
to constitute cause of action; second,
that if the plaintiffs have any cause
OF action at all they have adequate
remedy at law and are not entitled to
an Injunction. The motion for a
change of venue was granted and the
demurrer will be argued before Judge
Bennett at the September term of the
circuit court.

The News in Pictures.

The public nowadays must have the
news illustrated, not only by outline
drawings, but by reproductions of act
ual photographs by fine half-tone cuts.
People always like to look at interest
ing pictures. and particularly pictures
which show scenes in the stirring
events OF the times. The reproduction
of photograph will always convey a
better idea of such a scene than col
umns of descriptive matter or outline
drawings. The New York Mail and
Express is to be complimented upon
the manner in which it gives the news
In pictures. On Saturday it issues a
slXteen-page magazine supplement- in
which all important events in all parts
OF the world are thus illustrated, and
In order to make these half tone re-
productions of photographs show to
the best advantage, the finest quality
of paper is used.
In point Of cheapness, The Mail and
Express leads all it's competitors The
Saturday issue contains twenty to
thirty pages in addition to the sixteen
pages of illustrations, making a paper
which compares favorably in size and
literary merit with the big Sunday is
sues or the weekly magazines, but the
subscription price is only $3.50 per
year, or three cents per copy.
Another unique feature in The Mail
and Express is it's genealogical and
historical department, which affords
It's readers an opportunity to publish
questions with view of obtaining in
formation about the genealogical rec
ord of their families. Many thousands
annually take advantage Of this de-
partment to build up a family tree. -

The Situation with France and England.

In spite of the predictions that
France would promptly relinquish
Fashoda because of Lord Salisbury's
publication of his blue book, France
has not. thus far. shown the slightest
inclination to do so. The blue book.
which the English papers regarded as
an ultimatum, has been more or less
excitedly discussed by the French
press. and has dropped out of mind.
The English press, by asserting that
there is no retreat for the British gov
eminent. has placed the prime minister
in an embarrassing position. Hereto
fore, retreat has been a favorite device
of that statesman when his opponent
has declined to be bulldozed, and there
is possibility that it may have to be
employed again, to the chagrin of the
British public. The submission Of the
Fashoda incident to diplomacy would
undoubtedly be retreat, and that ap-
pears to be the kind of settlement, and
the only kind, so far, that the French
to adopt.
The French claim that Major Mar
chand's expedition was an official one,
ordered by the government, and they
deny that Fashoda is British or
British Egyptian territory. Egypt,
they say, was driven out of this ter
ritory many years ago, and never
possessed it in the sense that would
give sovereignty. 1t remained fallow
for many years, open to the first conner,
and the French We're the first to reach
Fashoda and take possession. They
arrangement by which Fashoda will
be exchanged for certain territory in
the rear of that country, for the lat
ter is of little value except from. Il
strategic point of view; but they de-
cline to entertain the proposition that
Fashoda must be badly surrendered
to country that has no claim to it
whatever.
This seems to be the attitude of
France at present. The great navy
yard at Toulon is working night and
day to prepare a large fleet for sea in
addition to those in commission. and
transports are being gotten ready for
troops. OF course, these preparations
may be for an entirely different pu,-
pose, but. as there is none other in
sight, it is natural to suppose they are
being made in views of any action
Great Britain may take. The British
navy yards are not particularly active.
There is no necessity for it. The ad-
miralty has received such a scoring
from press and Parliament of late
years that the navy is in apple-pie
order, and ready for service at a mo-
ments notice: but it is not likely that
the government will call on it, 1t is
now given out that Russia is ready TO
come to the aid Of France. This is
newspaper statement, but it is en-
titled to as much weight as the other
statements upon the subject, all being
unofficial. Lord Salisbury is a very
different person from the prime min
lister Of three months ago if he is will
ing to fight France and Russia COM
bined in order to gain possession of
Fashoda. He will probably submit the
diplomacy.

The President will return to his
official duties with new inspiration, and
the people will sustain him with re-
newed confidence. The country has

tour with the fact that the President
