old-time friend of MT. Bryan. The Democratic leader said he was fearful this volunteering might be looked upon as the act of demagogue, and hence he asked Colonel Boler's judgment on that point. The colonel says that MT. Bryan had before written him ex- pressing his disapproval of the "un- seemly scramble" for military office ex- hibited from every quarter.
 MT. Bryan left Lincoln this afternoon for Rock Island, H., where he will de- liver an address tomorrow at the ded- ication of a building erected by Mod ern Woodmen, but before his depart ure he said he was willing to serve his country in any capacity, no matter how humble.
 T can only say,'' replied MT. Bryan to question regarding his probable enlistment as private soldier. that have not the military education nor the experience. necessary to qualify as an officer, and therefore I am willing to enter the ranks. At such a time as this every man who can get away ought to enlist I do not think I would make a bad soldier. I am athletic and strong and am sure I would be amenable to discipline. I am ready to enlist at any time and go wherever the Government may see fit to send me-"

cidental to this interesting and practi- cal illustration of the methods employ ed in wresting the aboriginal Colonel MaZuma from Mother Earth, the visi- tors were treated to some applied the ories as to the best means of mountain travelling. For this day only" as the show bills have it, the treat Malakoff hydraulic Line was thrown open for the inspection of all who cared to see it.
 The mine which is one of the largest of the kind in the world, is situated in the heart of the mountains, near the little village of North Bloomfield, and fifteen miles from Nevada City. The road to the mine pitches up and down the precipitous sides of the mountains in manner calculated to make the hair of novice stand on end.
 Occasionally the road skirts along the edge of a precipice or whisks around the shoulder of great cliff, seemingly for the sole purpose of giving the stage drivers an opportunity to show how easy it is to knock pebbles into the seemingly bottomless abyss with the rear wheel of the coach.
 If to all this is added the fact that almost every mile of the road has it's history of a stage robbery or murder, a fair understanding can be had of the effect of the fifteen-mi drive on the minds of majority of the native sons.
 In this connection there is a story going the rounds tonight that has for a central figure Mark Devine, who, when at home, is the valued and valu- able assistant of Chief Wharfinger Root on the San Francisco water front. It seems, so the story goes, that Devine is a trifie nervous and did not wholly approve of the spectacular efforts of the driver of the conveyance in which he and party of friends were riding.
 Being of a retiring disposition he said nothing, but at the first convenient op- portunity he expressed a desire to walk over a particularly dangerous piece of road. In order, as he said, to tighten the load and save the horses. Devine trudged alorg behind the team for per haps a hundred ards or so, when he was suddenly confronted by the follow ing inscription, painted in bold letters on the face of a huge boulder that jutted out from the mountain side, just above thI road:

They. were given to understand that after spending few months there, they could remain on American soil and for that reason they crossed the Pacific. A mes sage was sent from Seattle to the man ager of the Omaha Exposition, notifying CT the the arr0a or .ne wa @ M The that no more Chinese were wanted As a consequence Deputy Collector of Gus toms Mitten was in quandary and wired to the department at Washington as to what disposition should be made of the party. He believes that the steamship company will be compelled to take them back to China.

who arrived to-day on the steamer Edith. Among them are s. J. Vandrey and Peter Williams of Douglas, Wyom- ing. Their party of five men lost com- plete outfits under the avalanche and expect never to see them again, de- claring that the tremendous weight , CT 10shed and destroyed their food sup plies.
 Vandrey says that without doubt fif- teen or twenty more bodies will be dis covered in the avalanche's pathway when summer comes According to his story no digging has been done for distance of hundred yards on &C., count Of the extreme depth of the snow, which is piled over forty feet high. In any community where organized gov ernment exists this snow would be re- moved, vast as the work might be, and the bodies taken out. In Alaska such a course is impossible, volunteer show elerS having tired of digging and re- turned to their labors.
 Vandrey talked with several men who know that their partners were killed, though their bodies have not been found.
 Unfortunately Vandrey took no ac- count of the missing mems names. He
 
 ing that so many victims remained un- discovered in their frozen shrouds, and, accordingly, returns to Wyoming for good.

 On Sunday the Edith went ashore near Comox while proceeding thither for coal: After remaining fast for twenty-four hours she succeeded in backing off The damage is not ser ious. Just as she got off the tug Mamie of Vancouver ran on a rocky ledge in the same vicinity and was still fast when the Edith left. It was then dark and impossible to tell how badly the tug was damaeed. The Edith has been tied up, light Alaska business making it unprofitable to start her north at the present.

The driver of the vehicle appreciat- ing the situation laid on the whip and in moment had swung around turn in the road and was out of sight.
 Then ensued what is said to have been one of he prettiest races ever witnessed in Nevada County. Down the mountain side went the coach at a break-neck gallop, and after it raced Devine, with his hat in his hand and his heart in his mouth.
 When he finally caught up he took his seat in the coach, and during the balance of the journey said never a word when the driver sought to make new wheel marks along the outer edge of the bit of shelf that does Iuty for a road. It Is only fai to Devine to say that he brands the story as an inven- tion emanating from his fun-loving companions.
 Arriving at the mine the Natives were escorted to the workings and in itiated into the mysteries of sluices, monitors, fumes, pipe lines, impound- ing dams, pay dirt, bedrock and a thou sand and one things that are a sealed book to the ordinary mortal, who gains an occasional minted coin by the sweat Of his brow at an office desk. The ar rival of the visitors, who numbered several hundred, was signalized by the firing of twenty heavy charges of giant powder Two hours later, when all of the sight-seers had been herded in a place of safety on high bluff over looking the workings, 200 blasts were set off in the bottom of the huge pit.
 After the inspection of the mine had been completed the visitors were con- ducted to shady grove on the noun tain side, above North Bloomfield. where they were treated to typical miners dinner, served on long tables in the open air. The repast consisted of stewed chicken, meats and vege- tables, together with unlimited quan- titles of all kinds of drinkables.
 After the repast the visitors bade good-by to their entertainers and started on the return trip, reaching this city late in the afternoon. The days enjoyment was somewhat marred by distressing accident, caused by the incompetence of a driver. and which resulted In bodily injury to three mem bers of the junketing expedition. While making a sharp turn on the road about seven miles out of this city a stage carrying party of twelve Native Sons was overturned. H. D. Cushing of Oakland had his arm broken by the fall. A. J. Turner of Stockton sustained an injury of the hip and Rod w Church of Oakland received several se- were bruises about the body.

san Juan and some of the members are Tn favor of taking immediate steps to deprive Spain of this important port. It IS conceded by naval strategists that San Juan will be extremely important as a base of operations for Spanish troops. In order that the garrison might hold out as long as possible supplies of all kinds were shipped in and it is pre- pared to withstand a long siege.
 In some circles it is regarded as prob able that the action of this Government in permitting Porto Rico to remain un- attacked is due to it's desire to draw the Spanish fleet from Cape Verde to San Juan and when it reaches that port to send the armored ships of the American squadron to give it bat tie.
 Spanish authorities appreciate as we'll as do those of the United States that so far as this country is concerned the quicker a decisive battle is fought the better, and in some circles 1t is be- lieved that Spain will scatter her fleet as much as possible, and will conduct guerrilla warfare against this country.
