Chicago, Nov. 4.-John j. Healy, vice
president of the North American
Transportation and Trading Co., who
has just returned from six years. So
journ in tho KloAdike, said yesterday:
1.-THE truth about the Yukon country
is that it will yield $50, 900, 900 between
now and next October, and with the
completion of government roads and
the operation of quartz mining ma
chinery the output will amount to
800, 900, 900 in gold annually. In less
than five years 100000 whites will be
at work in the Yukon and hundred
years of steady labor will not exhaust
profitable mining in Alaska"

Washington, Nov. Al. Goldschmidt,
United States consul general at Ber-
liz, died there Wednesday night. Mr..
Goldschmidt was appointed consul
general to Berlin last year. His home
was in Milwaukee, where he was in
business, and during the Harrison ad-
ministration he was consul general at
Vienna, his term ending in 1898.
When the last national campaign
opened the republican committee se-
lected Mr.. Goldschmidt to take charge
Of its German department. In this po-
sition he won many German votes for
Mckinley.

A NEW STEEL RAIL POOL.
1t Will Advance Prices from S1s to $40
Per Ton.


Per Ton.
Philadelphia, Nov. 5.-The Press
says: 1t was announced in this city
yesterday that the steel rail manufac-
turing companies had agreed to main
tain the price of steel rails, the con-
tract to remain in force for five years.
Besides this the price was to be ad-
vanced from $lS to $40 ton. For
several days representatives of the
leading steel and iron companies have
been in New York trying to bring
sborS steel rail pool, something
similar to the one which split asunder
early last year, this action being the
result of the drop in the price of steel
rails.
While for the last eight months
there has been more or less talk about
forming such pool, no definite shape
was given the project until after the
formation of the Federal Steel Co.
During the past week several meetings
have been held in New York, and at
these meetings the agreement to main
tain prices for five years was prepared
and adopted.

SUBMARINE PHOTOGRAPHY.
The New Art May Vastly EnIightcn
Our Present Ignorance.

Prof Louis Boutan in the Century.
The extent of the surface of the earth
covered BY water is vast. since ii far sur
passes that of the dry land. What do We
know of this part of the globe hidden by
the seas and oceans? Very little, IT must
be admitted Except along the immediate
edge of these immense bowls which can be
explored in diving bells. the means which
naturalists have at their disposal for ex-
nmining these depth are most rudimentary.
Nobody can go down into them. the
tremendous pressure Of the water renders
this impossible. For long time, therefore,
il was imagined that the bottom of the sea
was one vast extent of mud. without the
presence of living things; but numerous
scientific expeditions finally proved that
such was not the case. and that multitude
OF curious and even fantastic animals were
to be found there.
Guiding many sharks as made by us at the
Arago laboratory, convinced me that at a
depth OF $40 meters the bottom of the ocean
Is full of life All these big sharks are car
nlvOrOus. In order to live. these animals
must eat other animals. so there must be
many other animals whence these come, al
though We know almos: nothing about
them.
As regards the sea, the naturalist is in
much the same situation would be an in =

SparrOws Stay n Polecat.

From the Louisville Poet
You have often heard of the ferocity of
birds, no doubt said William Anderson. a.
hardy old woodsman. who lives on the low
er Ohio. but l doubt If you ever heard OF
birds attacking and killing an animal that
enc would imagine could whip three or four
fierce ours. While hunting down in the fats
near the mouth Of Green river several years
ago saw a large and fierce skunk beat an
lgnominious retreat after trying in vain to
best several English sparrows. and later,
when the skunk had screwed his courage Up
to the sticking point again, l saw those
same MISUNDERSTANDING little birds tear
the animal to shreds When my attention
was first attracted the sparrows were flying
from one side of the .hicket to the other
twittering like mad. When / went to learn
the cause the skunk, badly frightened, was
lodging from one side 10 the other OF "A
log, trying to escape the savage attacks of
the feathered tribe. The birds didn't mind
me. but kept dashing their little bills into
the skunk's well-punctured hide. When the
skunk started across an open space to tho
cover of nearby driftwood his tormen,ors
bounced upon him and riddled the pocr
cats hide"

what We Buy From Spain.
ON the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelpnla Record
Has it occurred to you to inquire just
what we get from and send to Spain. and
therefore. just how inconvenient war will
be in that respect? OF course. one way to
get at the matter would be to lock w the
statistics: another is to pay a visit to our
own great Philadelphia commercial mu-
scum down on South 4th street. and hunt
the matter out for ourselves. Once up in
the room where are shown the goods Spain
has to dispose of, 1t takes scant time to de-
eide that We can manage to worry along

A GTEAFFE.s SORE THROAT.
The Animals Peculiar Anatomy Made
the Case Serious.

The Animals Peculiar Anatomy Made
the Case Serious.
From tho Boston Herald
Seems to me told you once" said the
old circus man, about the giraffe having
a sore throat? 1t is serious matter for
any giraffe to have a sore throat; bad for
the giraffe and bad for the owner. When
you come to take an 1S-foOt giraffe like
ours, a sore throat means large expense
and large amount of trouble; and the
big fellow hadn't more'en got over this be-
fore something else happened to him that
give US even more trouble. He caught cold.
and the cold settled in mis- throat-I sup.
pose he was still sensitive there-and ii
give him a stiff neck, SO that he couldn {
bend his neck at all.
You can't have any idea of what a still
neck means until you see giraffe afflicted
in that way; we'd had all sorts of trouble
for real bother this beat 'em all. We dis
covered it one day on the road The
giraffe always Gucked his head under the
branches that hung down. sort of like a
swan or goose does. but this day, carry
ing his head right up straight in the air,
he brought UP against a branch that was
at least fifteen feet above the ground.
That was such an amazing thing that we
knew something must be the matter, and
when the CRATES keeper came up and
spoke to him. and all he did was to bend
his nose down and look down, why, we
saw he couldn't bend his neck, and then We
knew what was the matter.
well. Of course the first thing we did
was to set a man to march alongside of
Kim with tent pole. with crotch in the
end Of it. to lift the branches for him.
Most OF the time-almost all the time, in
fact-we could steer him clear of overhang-
ing branches. and. of course. lots of the
way there was long stretches where there
wasn't any trees at all: and then we'd come
to places where the man would have to lift
a branch to let the big giraffe go under:
and a great pity 1t was, too to see him
compelled to go about In that manner.
HE went that way for about ten days
Ordinarily, we used to put his feed for
him on top of the animal cage. so that he
wouldn't have to bend down more than
eight or ten feet; but ne couldn't do that
now. So we set ring in the center pole
eighteen feet from the ground. and we used
to reeve a rope through that and make one

The First Naval Victory.

Six thousand five hundred miles from
the base of supplies, (San Francisco Com
odore Geo. Dewey of the American Asiatic
fleet of SIX vessels, on Sunday attacked a
Spanish fleet of nine vessels in their own
waters, Manila harbor, Philippine islands
under the guns of powerful fortress, in
waters alleged to be lined with explosive
mines, and won the most decisive victory
in the history of modern naval warfare
completely annihilating the Spanish fleet,
razing the forts and capturing the town of
Manila, city of 100000 population and
without the loss of single ship.
When it is remembered that Commodore
Dewey's feet was made up of light vessels,
none of them beyond the third class, and
none armored, the story of the combat.
which is now only known through Spanish
sources, reads more like fairy tale than of
a reality.
The public is anxiously awaiting Com
modore Dewey's report to Washington
which is momentarily expected.
Hats off to the commodore and his gal
liant followers.
