NOBLE RESIGNATION"
Of Spain May Touch the Heart of Pres
 ident Mckinley.

Paris, Aug. 8.-The Temps says it is to be hoped that the noble resignation of Spain will touch the heart of President Mckinley and that he will consider it honorable to show that if the United States is strong, it is magnanimous enough to spare the van- quished enemy, not to abuse its victory and to desire by the generosity of Its acts to make the treaty with the people they have learned to respect on the battlefield, veri- table compact of friedship. It is certain. the Temps adds, that Spain will be re- warded by her wisdom. Freed from the Cuban incumbus she will regain energy and vitality and march wit$h joyful steps to- ward a calm and prosperous future.

munications bearing upon the nomina-

some of them urging confirmation, and
others in opposition. There was
large number Of protests against the
nomination from branches Of the Amer
lean Protective association, and from
some of the foremost members Of the
bar Of the Pacific coast, besides miscel-
laneous letters from other parts Of the
country. The charges were generally
that Mr.. McKenna had not had the le-
gal training and judicial experience to
fit him for the position. There was
also a disposition manifested on the
part Of some to tomahawk him also
because of his membership in the Cath
Ollie church. The members of the COM

sion Of the nomination. Only one DEM

vorable to confirmation. The meeting

of the commissions paid by the Western roads
on excursion business during November and
December from British Columbia to Eastern
ponts The commissions were put in by
the Western roads for the purpose of meet
ing the rates made by the SSo line and as
the Eastern roads received all of the business
that came to the Western lines, it being
turned over to them at Chicago, the latter
thought that the Eastern roads should stand
part of the cost of getting the business, but
the latter refused to stand any part OF It,

Food Supply There Is Smaller Than

at Dawson.
SEATTLE, Jan. IA letter from
Dawson City, dated Dec. 9, says: A
letter from Circle City. Nov. 2. says
the steamer P. B. Weare was frozen
in on her way down. The steamer Vic
toria is also there. The 300 people
who started for Fort Yukon were
stranded there, but most Of them Sc
cured sleds and continued on their way
down. Circle City, owing to the ur-
expected increase Of population from
Dawson, was almost devoid Of food. OF
the 127 residents of that camp, nearly
all were calculating on sending to Fort
Yukon for supplies. Briefly. were It
not for the supplies at Fort Yukon,
which, to certain extent, are an I'M
known quantity, the scarcity would
be far more desperate than at Dawson
City.
Joaquin Miller arrived at Dawson
from Circle City Dec. at IL o'clock.
He was very badly frozen, having lost
a part of the great toe Of his left foot,
his left ear was sloughing off, and both
cheeks were frozen. He left Circle City
thirty-five days before in company
with Herald Canovano, Of the coast
survey. They started from Circle City
without dogs, having been unable to
secure them. They pulled their out
fit on a sled. Mr.. Miller brings a story
Of great suffering all along the river
by parties caught in the ice on their
way to the Yukon. He reports, also,
the death Of Charles Anderson, a man
from Brooklyn, N. Y, who accidentally
shot himself while in boat about
fifty miles above Circle City.
