SHOULD RESTRICT EMIGRATION.


No One Should BE Allowed to Go to Alaska

WASHINGTON, Feb. A. Gen. Merriam,
commanding the department of Column
bia, wired the acting secretary OF war
extracts from the report of Capt. Ray
in which he recommends restriction
of emigration to Alaska this year.
He says no one should be allowed to
go in without two years supply of
food and that military post
should be established at the mouth
of Tanana, with light draft, high
power steamboat to patrol the Yukon
with detachments of troops. Capt.
Ray seized all the supplies at Fort
Yukon October 80, to prevent their cap
ture by an armed mob of about so
men. The mob was influenced by de-
liberate robbery and not by hunger.

The Borrower 10 Now More Independent
Than Ever and High Interest ID Past.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Money never was
cheaper to the borrower than it is in
Chicago and the west at the present
time. Financial conditions have
changed very materially during the
past year, and in place Of the banker
being inaccessible to the borrower,
the latter is more independent than
ever In speaking of this matter,
President Eckels, Of the Commercial
national bank, said: "The days Of six
and seven per cent. interest seem to
be permanently over. There will be
more five and six per cent money, and
even below that figure, while possibly
five and six per cent. will be the gen.
eral rate" Interest rates in Chicago
at the present time vary. A large loan
to probably the best gilt.edged bor-
rover in the city was recently made

rate ever charged in Chicago.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Feb. Ar M.
Block, of the Devils river country, an
extensive sheep raiser, was here yes
terday. He said there were now only
$4,000, 900 sheep in this country, and
that the largest number ever owned
was in 1884, when it amounted to ST.
1000 head. He is of the opinion that
it will be many years before that num-
Der is reached again. The demand
throughout the country now is for
lambs, and the ready sales and the
prices they bring will delay stocking
the country. He does not believe there
are 100000 more sheep here than
there were 20 years ago, and that the
days Of heavy mutton have gone by.
Light weight wethers and lambs, he
says, command the best prices.
