KLONDlKERS CHEATED
Exchange Their Dust For
Bogus Silver Certificates.

San Francisco, Oct. 1T is stated
that United States secret service Off
GERS, aided by Chief Lees, have discov-
cred that large numbers of counterfeit
800 silver certificates have been pro-
duced in this city. The operators are
reported to be under police surveillance.
The Call asserts that 5000 of these
spurious bills were sent into the Klon-
dixie district. They were readily ex-
changed for gold dust and their fa1sity
was not discovered until the returning
miners tried to pass them in Portland.
The banks of this city, following the
precedent of the institutions in the
north, have refused to handle any bills
of that denomination. The paper is
said to be of government make as are
also the various inks, with the excep-
tion of that with which the number is
printed. This is of an ordinary quality

peril and privations. Jones left Okla
hOma territory II month ago for Great
Slave lake, and the mouth of the Mac
kenzie river, with the object of bringing
out to civilization a herd of live musk
oxen. He went in over the Edmonton
route, reaching Great Slave lake last
July. after a long and perilOus trip.
About two months ago, in company
with Albert Rea, of Alberta, he started
on his homeward journey, coming up
the Peel and Rat rivers, across the port
age to Western Rat river down the
West Rat and POrcupine to the Yukon.
He was thirty-three days going from
Great Slave lake to Fort Yukon.
Jones says there are 1000 people who
started over the Edmonton route in the
summer of 1897. frozen in at Destruction
City, located at the junction of Peel
and Rat rivers.
They will not reach civilization before
next July. They are well supplied with
provisions. The winter will be spent
in constructing boats. Among those at
Destruction City are Mr.. and Mrs. A
G. Craig and a Mr.. Thumser all of Chi
cago.
Accounting for his failure to bring out
any musk oxen, Jones says he caught
several, but the Esquimaux are super
stitious about allowing them to leave
the country and one night they cut the
throats of his animals. Jones brought

BLOCKED.
Work on the Exposition Build
ings Stopped.
10000 Paris WOrkmen Out on
a Strike.
FREQUENT FIGHTING.
Between Strikers and SOcalled
"BIackIegs'' in the Streets.
Disturbance May Develop Into
Revolution.

Paris, Oct THE strike of the Ia
borers here has extended to the build
ing trades and it is feared the railroad
men will join in the movement. Work
on the exhibition buildings and under
ground railroad has completely ceased.
About $4,000 men have gone out on
strike and the situation is causing con-
sternation.
The attitude of the strikers is in
creasingIy aggressive and fights be-
tween strikers and so-called "bIacklegs"
are incessant, involving the intervention
of the police, troops and mounted re-
publican guards, who have been obliged
to repeatedly charge the strikers. The
quarters in which rioting has taken
place are patrolled by strong detach-
ments of police and troops. There are
great apprehensions lest the agitators
turn the strike movement to political
ends.
The Temps declares that the leaders
of the men are aiming at a genreal
strike, if not at a revolution. and points
out what dreadful thing it would be if
the exhibition of 1900 is compromised.
The latest news this morning is that
the municipal council and the contract
Ors have come to an agreement regard
ing the demands of the laborers and
hopes are expressed that the strike will
end in a few days.

VISIT OF NOTE.
Postmaster General Smith is In
Topeka Today.
Mr.. Smith Talks Interestingly
Of the Department
IN OUR NEW ISLANDS.
The Work of Organizing the
POstOtfice
Is Going On-SOme Remarks on
Newspapers.
IN OUR NEW ISLANDS.

Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith and party arrived this morning
from Omaha where they have been at
tending the exposition and where Mr..
Smith delivered an address. Mr.. Smith
is accompanied by his wife and his pri-
vate secretary, Clarence E. Dawson.
He spent the morning in attending to
correspondence which he found await
ing him here.
This is Mr.. Smiths furthest visit west,
but he will go on still further before
he returns east. He will go to Wichita
tomorrow and from there on to the
mountains and will spend a few days
at Colorado points. Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristom met the
party in Omaha and decided to return
to Kansas with them and will make the
Colorado itinerary in their company.
Postmaster General Smith is a man
of about fifty years. His hair and beard
are iron gray, and he has a steady,
clear blue eye. Although he impresses
one as man of decision of character;
he is cordial in his manner.
1.-The postoffice department has been
very busy since the war; he said to

the Press in 1880, and I have been ac-
lively engaged in the business since
then with the exception of the time
was in Europe in 1890 and 81, and since
have been in the cabinet I like news
paper work and expect to return to it."
What is your ideal of a newspa-
per?"
1.-THE Philadelphia Press quickly re-
piled Mr.. Smith with a smile and then
he continued, seriously my ideal is a
newspaper which persistentIy and con-
scientiously goes after all the news and
endeavors to always get at the truth
and publish it,"
This afternoon the employees of the
Topeka postoffice rendered a reception
to Mr.. Smith at the postofice, and af-
forwards a number of the ex-Pennsyl-
vanians now residing in Topeka called
upon him at the Copeland.
Tonight Mr.. Smith delivers an ad-
dress at Hamilton hall under the aus
pices of the Republican county central
committee.

service to our new possessions. As soon
as our army had taken possession OF
Ponce in Porto Rico, we Immediately
established a military pOstOffice there.
From that point we have spread out
until we now have thirty or forty offices
in the island. Although the OfnceS we
have thus far established are military
offices they are in reality the only pos
tai service the island has and all classes
get their mail through them We re-
tain the old Spanish employees as far as
practicable on account of their famil-
iarity with the people, but they act un-
der our men of course, and we put our
own postofice methods into practice.
We send trained department employees
to take charge of these offices.
In Cuba, we have not established any
offices except at Santiago. The island
is not as thoroughly under our control
as Porto Rico and we are waiting for
it's evacuation.
I'VE have an Office established at
Manila and are handling the mail of the
Philippines in good shape. We eStab-
1iShed the office as soon as our troops
took possession of the city. At first all
the Spanish employees left the Office, as
they would not work for the Americans.
AS a consequence the Spanish mail was
rather neglected. Our own employees
could handle the French and German
mail all right, but they were not we'll
enough versed in the Spanish language
to properly distribute their mail, and
we did not care about fmpressing any
Spaniards into the service who did not
want to work. In a few days when the
Spanish commander saw that all mail
except their own was being well han
died he was glad to order the Spanish
employees back into the Office. Since
then we have had no trouble over
there
what do you think the committee
which is investigating the conduct of
the war will do?' was asked.
''I believe they will make every ef-
fort to get at the exact truth. That
seems to be the desire of the commits
sion, and I know it is the desire of the
president. They are going at the mat
ter just as a newspaper man would go
at it to get the news. They will get
everybody to tell all they know on the
subject and then sift out the truth. OF
course they will find there have been
mistakes. They will find out the hos
pitfalls which were not well equipped
with supplies, and they will locate the
blame. That is what the president
wants.

ing been editor and part owner of the

west and sports from New York a ver-
liable regiment of rough riders, men,
many of whom were desperate charac-
ters, disregarding law and to whom all
kinds of discipline was irksome, and
then the way Roosevelt managed them
was wonderful. No one else could have
done it. His personality and the way
he looked after them was what did it.
If one of his men got into the hospital
Roosevelt himself saw that he had the
best care there was in Cuba. And now
the whole regiment fairly worships
Roosevelt. If anybody ventures to say
a word against Teddy Roosevelt in the
presence of one of those rough riders,
he has a fight on his hands right away"

STANLEY MAY WIN
By 100 Plurality According
to John w. Breiden-
thal's Figures.

John W. Breidenthal estimates that if
the election were held at the present
time Stanley would be elected by 1,7O0
plurality The figures are made after
estimating the vote of each county sep
arateIy. Mr.. Breidenthal ran over the
list of counties putting down an esti-
mate for each one, making allowance
for the vote which would stay at home,
as nearly as he could estimate it from
past experience. When the figures
were added up they gave Stanley 1,7OO
more votes than Leedy. Breidenthal
destroyed the figures and made others
The second time he left out about twen-
ty Of the smaller counties, and the re-
suit showed Stanley ahead 1895. These
figures were also destroyed.
From my experience" said Mr..
BreidenthaI to a friend, Il think the
Republicans will turn out better than
the Populists. The Populist vote is
largely in the country and our people
have further to go to the polls than the
Republicans. But we can easily over
come 100 votes before election and
have that many new ones. If we can
wake our fellows up so they will 60 to
the polls we can win easily enough

Lieutenant Colonel Harbach says that
General Bacon will come into Walker
from Bear island today and a council
will then be held at which it will be
decided what the next move in the
campaign shall be.
General Bacon sent word that the
Indians have scattered from his front

of the surrounding forest. Lieutenant
Colonel Harbach expects part of the
reinfOrcements at least will be landed
on Bear island at o'clock this morning.
Two hundred and seven picked men
from the Fighting Third" infantry at
Fort Smelling, in command of Lieuten-

Walker coming by special and fast
train from the post at st. Paul. Each
soldier carried his Krag-Jorgensen and
100 rounds of ammunition and rations
for five days and an ample reserve sup
ply of 5000 rounds of ammunition was
brought along. Another Gatling gun
was part of the equipment.

ROOSEVELT IN 1904
Joseph Bristow Regards Him as a
Presidential Possibility.

''I regard Theodore Roosevelt as one
of the prominent presidential pOssibili-
ties in the future declared Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General Bristow to
a number of politicians at the Copeland
this morning. ''Of course, not against
Mckinley, but after Mckinley gets
through. There won't be any other can
didate thought of except Mckinley next
time.
Roosevelt is a man of the greatest
personality. He attracts men to him
and is one of the great figures of the
war. He has wealth and an iron con-
stitution. He can outwalk any man in
the east and there isn't a guide in the
Adirondacks that he cannot tire out
These are just some of his personal
qualities which show what kind of a
man he is. OF course 1904 is a long way
off, but the way that Roosevelt has
come to the front shows that there is a
great possibility of his falling heir to
the presidential chair.

shown by the way in which he man

consequently no duty remaining for these
officers to discharge. The officers who
