Mr.. William H. Lewis. Of the law firm

from an extended trip through the East.
Mr.. Lewis left here September q. and

Inteihgencer reporter last night:
Il found that throughout the East the
interest in the Alaska mining matters Is
on the increase. While people in Seattle
seem TO think the rush has commenced,
the large parties and the great number
OF single individuals and small parties

or first OF March. A prominent New
England railroad man said TO NE in Bos-
ton last week that, while none of the
business ne had planned for had started
yet or would start before the first of
March, he was already having more
transient business from day to day than
he could handle satisfactorily.
Continual interviews are being given
:

points for the Alaska trade. But in spite
Of all this, not one man in ten whom /

forts 10 get the business seem not 10 have
any influence on those who are coming

East is that Seattle has the business al

interests there as soon as he can arrange
his affairs here.
Capt. Barrington's sudden rise 10 for

dents in klondike lore aud narrative. He
received quiet tip several days before the
arrival of the steamer Portland with her
million in dust. He gathered q party to-
gether, and after purchasing his outfits
here left Seattle July IS. the day after the
i'ortland's arrival. In less than thirty
days Capt. Darlington was in Dawson. He
participated in nearly every stampede. and
by trading and making judicious pur-
chases. succeeded in getting hold of eight
valuahi claims and in obtaining interests
in other very promising locations.

MARITAL LAW IN SPAIN.
Sagasta Ready For Peace But 1t Mnst Be
An Honorable Peace.

Madrid, July 15.-The fetal Gazette
today publishes royal. decree, Temperate
ly suspending throughout the peninsula
the rights of individuals as guaranteed
by the constitution.
The decree adds that it will render an
account to parliament of the. use it may
make of this measure.
I The publication of the decree Is general
ly accepted as being convincing proof that
Spain is now ready to she for peace and
that negotiations to that effect are actu-
ally in progress. The government wishes
to have full power to suppress any evil
dences of discomfort or rebellion when
ever they appear. The Carlists are furi-
GUS and are sure to attempt to create
trouble.
One minister expressed the conviction
that oyertures for peace will be made
before Sunday and there is reason to
believe that France has offered her SER
vices to Spain and that Spain has drawn
up conditions for peace which offer a
basis for negotiations.
Premier Sagasta is quoted as SAYING
spain wants peace, "but it must be an
honorable peace, as Spain deserves"
Continuing, the premier is said to have
remarked: 1.-THE army is anxious to re-.
sist to the last, but the government can
not consentsto such useless sacrifice.
Had we our feet, the situation would be
very diffioult.' ~

the present it is expected that the mill

to consider the larger question of the per-
manent status of this tract. II the
precedent of Manila is followed, mill

from those in Manila, as the governments

directed it's efforts thus far to making
Cuba free and placing the Cubans in
control. This condition may lead to a
consideration of the expedienoy of allow.
ing thu Cubans themselves to establishsan
administration at Santiago, thus giving
them the opportunity to try their ability
at directing civil affairs and also giving
them foot hold on the island. In that
event, General Garcia, being on the
ground, would doubtless figure promi-

President Masso and his cabinet are said

on the Ia ction at Santiago as 1t Is the first

TO CURTAIL COTTON PRODUCTION

Fall River, Mass, July ia movement
is on foot among the mill men of this city
to inducesas many treasurers as possible
to agree to close down throughout the en-
tire month OF August. A paper is being
passed to this effect today, but the move-
mont has not yet progressed far enough
to warrant prediction as to the extent
of it.
In connection with the proposition to
curtail, it is stated that an effort will be
made to pool issues and carry 1000, 900
pieces of the 1900. 600 in stock for a year
at given price. 1t is the intention to
place these goods in the hands of trustees
and it is Thought that shut down of a
month will take care of the remainder
of the accumulation. Manufacturers say
that they cannot sell cloth except for Sep.
TENDER delivery and that they are losing
a cent at present price. II this plnn is
carried through, with the proposed gen.
eral curtailment for month, it is be-
lieved that the remedy for the present
poor condition of the cloth market will be
found and that the effect cannot be but
beneficial and lasting.
