"THE KLONDIKE NUGGET"
Only Paper in the KlOndike-SellS
for 50 cents per copy-The land
of gold and grinning dogs.

Isaac Ledger received from his brother.
in-law, George Roland, Monday,a copy Of
1.-The Klondike Nugget" 1t was date d
July Is, and was printed at Dawson, N.
w. T., and is the only paper printed in
the Klondike region. 1t is semi-weekly,
and each issue has four pages with five Is
inch columns to the page. The price is
1924 year, or so cents per single copy.
This little sheet, about the size of pocket
handkerchief, has an editor and general
manager, an associate editor, and bust
ness manager, and the remainder of the
force is not enumerated.
On the first page in glazing letters is the
all-important question, "Who is controll-
ing the whiskey." A full column is given
to the discussion Of this interesting prob
lem; the article winds up with this obser-
walton, "The matter is of national import
ance." And so it is. When whiskey sells
for so cents drink as it does up in that
country, there will be scramble to con-
troll the market as long as thirst is peren-
NAL and the gold dust lasts. Another ar
ticle tells about the wonderful salmon
taken from the Yukon river. These
fish are now going up the river and the
first one brought into Dawson weighed 1872
pounds. 1t is stated that s'some of them
just walk through common net as though
it was made of cobweb." Another item
says: Residents of Klondike City are
Boosting of the healthfulness Of their city.
They say they have had but one death and
that was man who shot himself from de-
spondency last winter" Here is some
more news: Gardner & Kimball are
two Of the gentlemen who got pinched on
the grub supply last winter. In caches be-
hind their buildings they now have
over so tons of provision. They do not
propose to give sharks another chance to
pinch or extort from them"
Dawson does not lack for amusements
In one corner of the Nugget is the an
nouncement of the Pavilion Theatre an
attraction every night, and the house

Boston Milk.

The discouraging side of the situation is
seen when we compare this July with the
corresponding month of previous years.
Comparing it with July Of last year we
find decrease in receipts of only 5000
cans, while there is decrease in sales Of
41,O00 cans, consequently, the surplus is
the largest ever known in any July. In
July, 1895, the surplus was SO small that
the contractors paid full price for the
whole OF it, and July, 1898, as compared
with July, 1895, shows an increase Of
receipts Of 1874, 900 cans, and an increase
in sales of only $4,000 cans. Comparing
the figures of 1891 with the figures OF
July, 1898, we find an increase in receipts
of Sc per cent and IN sales Of only A per
cent.

A CIVIL SERVICE CUT COMING.
President Only Waiting for the Sen
 ate Committees Report.

Washington, Feb. 23. - Senators Pritchard, Lodge and Elkins of the civil service committee of the senate had a conference with the president today by appointment to talk over civil service matters. The president, it is understood, is awaiting with consid- erable interest the report to be made by the senate committed It will be impossible, one of the members said today, to attempt to analyze all of the testimony in the report to be made. and only main features are to be cov- cred.
 The president has been waiting a good while to issue an order exempt ing certain offices from the operations of civil service, but he has put this off until the agitation of the question should be over in congress. It is thought he will issue this order short ly after the senate civil service com mittee shall make it's report. He may conclude to make changes not now contemplated after reading the re- port of the committee.

CANNOT CARRY ARMS.
Canadian Conditions for the Mil tary
 Escort to the Yukon.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The sscret tary of state has received a communication from Sir Julian Pauncefote, the Brit ish ambassador, in response to a note expressing the desire of the United States war department that the rel ef expedition which it is proposed to send to Circle City, Alaska, be accompan ed on its passage through Canadian ter ritory by an armed United States force. Sir Julian says he is authorized by the Marquis of Salisbury to state that the dominion government is quite willing that United States troops which are destined for places in Alaska beyond the Hist meridian, and are considered necessary for the protection of the re- lief expedition while in United States territory should pass through Cana dian territory under the same regula- tions which govern the passage of Canadian mounted police through the i United States territory, namely, that the men shall not be under arms and 1 that arms and ammunitions of war oadll 6O luIOuSu Oduduldu LOTTlLOTy as baggage.
 Sir Julian adds: "'The dominion government, at the same time, desires to make it clear that it fully appre- ciates the wish of the United States government to afford relief, and have forwarded instructions to the local officials to facilitate the expedition in every possible way. An escort of do- minion police will be furnished for the expedition during it's passage through Canadian territory"
 In conclusion, he says he will be glad to learn as early as possible whether the above arrangement is satisfactory to the United States gov ernment, in which case he will so ad- wise the Marquis of Salisbury and the governor-general of Canada.
 Acting Secretary Meiklejohn has no- tified the secretary of state that the arrangement suggested by the British 1 premier will be satisfactory to the war department.

Washington, Feb. 23.-While the sen ate had under consideration the dip'o matic and consular appropriation bill today a sharp debate of the Cuban sit uation was precipitated by MT. Allen of Nebraska, who offered as an amend ment a resolution passed by the sen ate a year ago recognizing the bel ligerent rights of the Cuban insur- gents. The debate became general and occupied nearly four hours. In the course of a reply to the preliminary statement of MT. Allen. MT. Morgan of Alabama said that this countrys re- lations with Spain at the present time were seriously strained and that the intervention by the United States, which a year ago would have been in offensive, would now be almost a cause of war.
 MT. Thurston of Nebraska counseled calmness and prudence, for he believed that the country was rapidly drifting into a war with Spain. MT. Hoar of Massachusetts maintained that the floor of the senate was no proper place for the angry discussion of in ternational affairs and that no senator ought to utter anything that might not we'll be uttered by the president of the United States. MT. Allen $ amendment was finally ruled out of
 order and an appeal from the ruling taken by the Nebraska senator was i laid on the table.
 SOCIAL LEADERS PATRIOTISM. Washington, Feb. 23.-A variety Of
 subjects occupied the attention of the | house during the consideration of the
 sundry civil appropriation bill. MT
 Mahaney of New York made an attack on the patriotism of the social leaders
 of New York, whom, he said, held high revel while the nation was bowed ! down with grief over the loss of life
 resulting from the Maine explosion. i Southern members who for years
 have been fighting the appropriation 1 for ''informers on illicit distillery,'
 succeeded in killing the appropriation
 in the committee of the whole, but
 Chairman Cannon gave notice that ht would demand an aye end nay vote ir | the house. Early in the session res olution was adopted inquiring of tht
 treasury department what has beer done by the United States to proven
 the conveyance to Cubans of articles produced in the United States, an( also to prevent f1libustering.

peculiar oily taste, compounded from creosota which has been subjected to a chemical reaction. The great spe- cialist claims that his concoction is a most excellent specific against tuber- culosis of the lungs.
 The report from the clinic of Dr. von Leyden comprises twenty-e ght cases, elaborately depicted by word and illustration. Of these, twenty eight patients, all treated with the greatest care and attention, twenty seven were cured, some entirely and some placed on the sure way to total recovery. All were treated alike to the doses of creosotal and in the fol- lowing manner: For the first two days the patients received five drops three times daily. This was changed to an increase of eight drops three times daily, and so on until the dose reached twenty-five drops three timas per day.
 After the last dose had been main tained for three weeks it was dimin- ished daily until the original quantity had been attained.
 The patients have been treated for six months by Dr. von Leyden. With ] some their lungs are entirely healed, and with others the pathological symp- toms have disappeared entirely
 Dr. von Leyden is today universally recognized as the leading authority on tuberculosis of Germany, if not of all
 Europe, and is probably the most eel 1 ebrated physician of the old world

Then the body was pla ced on the Narkeeta again and taken to Jersey City, and from there sent to Lexington, Ky, the home of the late ensign, accompanied by MT. Hines, a representative of the Breckinridge family, and guard. As the tug left the yard the marines fired a vol1ey, and ''taps" were sound ed.
 Two passengers on the steamer Seneca. Dr. Pitcher and MT. Halbe1t of Battle Creek, Mich, were in Havana when Ensign Breckinridge was drowned They said that Breckinridge was leaning aga inst the wire rope rail- ing on the torpedo boat Gushing when the rope broke The ensign fell back ward into the water. There was a storm at the time and heavy sea was running.
 "Breckinridge wore rubber coat, said Dr. Pitcher, which filled with air and held him up for half an hour. A rowboat was launched from the Cush- ing, but was overturned before 1t reached the drowning officer. One Of the sailors climbed on the bottom of the overturned boat, and, catching a line which was thrown to him, fast ened it about his body and then swan out to Breckinridge, who had lost con- sciousness. BreckinIidge was alive when taken on board the Gushing but expired soon after.'

power much weaker would give us no

power much weaker would give us no prestige
 The attention of Wall street has been attracted to the probability of an other important consolidation of rail road interests. Apparently on good authority, it is given out that the Chi cago, Burlingon & Quincy and the Missouri, Kansas & Texas have ex- changed views relative to a consoli- dation of the two systems. It is un- derstoOd that the M. K. & T. would require a guarantee of per cent upon it's preferred stock, to which the Bur lington probably will not object; it may, however, hesitate about guar anteeing the M. K. & T. per cent gold bonds, as it has always disfavored contracts payable in that form. Should this negotiation be accomplished it will add 2,197 miles to the C., B. & o., making it's total of track 9,377 miles, This is another step in the direction of economy in railroad finance.
 The bureau of statistics furnishes another evidence of the extraordinary expansion of our export trade. For the month of January the exports of
 merchandise Gncluding sllver)
 amounted to SIP, ,S0O,OOO, which is
 s14,7O0,0OO in excess of the figures for the same month of last year. The inn
 ports were valued at $53, ,300,000 which falls $500, 900 below January, 1897. The months exports show an excess of $59 9,500, 900 over the imports. From this, however, must be deducted $3,- 100000 for our net imports of gold during the month; also liberal allow ance must be made for the interest and other minor accounts during the | month, which would leave a net bal ance to our credit of probably $30,000,- GOO, to be added to the already extra ordinary floating indebtedness of other countries to the United States. This l is an additional reason for anticipat- ing protracted ease in the local mon- 1 ey market.
 | Apart from the Maine disaster ant the Cuban situation, all factors con-
 tirue favorable to the price of stocks i and I look for an active spring mar i ket-temporarily, however, I advise ! caution.

DORA CUSHMAN'S MURDER.
Smith G. Davis on the Witness
 Stand.

Middlebury, Vt, Feb. 23.-Deputy Sheriff William Cobb, keeper of the county jail, was called by the defense in the Davis murder trial today. He said Davis conduct was as good as that of any prisoner he ever had charge of.
 William Brittell, the next witness, testified that he had boarded at Dr. Cushman's. He had often seen the doctors medicine case in his office. in the dining room and in the kitchen. This was in direct contradiction to the testimony by Dr. Cushman.
 Smith G. Davis, the defendant, next took the stand. He stated that he became acquainted with Dora Gu sh- man in the spring of 1897 at party in the house of her sister, Vivian Bar rett. Afterwards he saw Dora fie- quently at her fathers house. Also at Mrs. Barrett's. He was at Mrs. Barrett's with Herbert Poland a good many evenings, and he had stayed over night there and has occu- pied the same bedroom with Dora and Mrs. Barrett on two occasions. Poland left before Il o'clock. Mrs. Barrett's husband was doing night work at the time. Davis also said he stayed all night in the same room With Dora once at her fathers house. Mrs. Bar rett, he said, was also in the room un- til o'clock in the morning, when she went to another room.

Callahan and Waterman will
 Come Back to Phoenix
WEAKENED AND CONFESSED
Sold $1.OOO and Destroyed
 $3,OOO More
The Maricopa & Phoenix will be As sisted in the Prosecution by the
 Ticket Brokers Association. Whose Members Were VlctImized

Springfield, O., Feb 23.-(Special) J. A Cincinnati special received here to- night says that c. T. Callahan and Joseph D. Waterman, the railroad ticket thieves of Phoenix, Ariz., have made a full confession, according to Southern Pacific Railway Detective Crowley, who has them in custody.
 The officers say Callahan and Water man have expressed their intention of pleading guilty to charge of forgery committed by them in the sale of the tickets. They will be taken to Phoe- nix, Arizona, where the theft of the tickets occurred, for trial.
 The men acknowledge having sold $1 ,0OO worth of the tickets to railroad brokers in Cincinnati, Chicago and other cities. They say they destroyed $3,O0O worth more of the tickets through fear of discovery.
 The Ticket Brokers association aided largely in effecting the capture of the two men and will aid in the prosecution of them. The men were photographed and measured in the Rertillon room at police headquarters today.
 These are the men to whom refer ence was made in The Republican s story of the arrest yesterday morning. The fact that they are in Cincinnati was something of a surprise, since the telegram of Tuesday evening was | sent from Chicago, where they were 1 supposed to be in custody.
 Joe Waterman is quite well known 1 in Phoenix. He is more than forty | five years old and has a wife and l three children. Callahan, of whom l less is known, is about thirty. Both of them came here from Chicago al out year ago after having travelled about the country for long time in search of work. Waterman got employment as a brakeman and Callahan as a wiper. The latter in the absence of any definite information, is believed to have been the leader in the ticket stealing enterprise and neither is sup
 posed to have had extensive criminal experience. The manner in which they were discovered proves that they
 were not adopts in that particular ne
 of criminality.

STILL UNSOLVED.
No Clues for Unravelirg the East
 River Murder Mystery.

New York, Feb. 23.-The morgue has assumed it's usual cheerless ap- pearance. The crowds of morbidly curious who thronged there during the past week are absent. The mutilated body of the murdered man found in the East river at the Roosevelt ferry slip has no longer any fascination for them. The identifers have practically gone out of business, and the one de- tective. who is still on duty, has wearied even of the easy task. The mystery is meanwhile no nearer sc- lution. All the clues have been run down with the same result in each case-failure. Captain McC usky is waiting for something to turn up, aud until something does turn up he will try to forget that he has such a mys- tery on hand.
