short taking.
Regarding Colonel IngersolPs estate,
his brother-in-law and Private Secre-
tary, c. P. Farrell. said: ''If he left
a will I do not know of it. Colonel
Ingersoll died poor. He was a great
money Garner, but poor money saver.
For years and years, perhaps thirty
years his income was immense. cam

equal at earning dollars. Others have

CANADIAN FISHERMEN.
Indignant at Action Taken by the
limited States Fishery Officers.

VANCOUVER (B. CO, July q
There is much Indignation among
Canadian fishermen at what they con-
slider the arbitrary action of the Unit t
ed States fishery officers in seizing a
number Of boats and salmon nets, de-
tanning men at Blaine several days and
confiscating the nets.
The cause is alleged fishing in Amer
lean waters, which are nine miles each
side of Point Roberts. Fishermen COM
plain that there are no buoys or lights
to mark the line 1t is claimed that the
Americans are pursuing the policy IN
retaliation for the new alien laws
which prevent Americans from taking
out fishermen'S licenses.
The Canadians also declare that
alien fishermen are harrying the hall
but banks in British waters, and de-
stroying the industry. The Canadian
Government is being asked to put on
a fast fisheries cruiser and seize Amer
lean poachers.

WILLIAM j. BRYAN
Makes Public a Letter Written to
Committeeman Woodson.

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-Hon. w. J.
Bryan tonight handed to the Associa-
ted Press a letter written to Urey
Woodson, Natnoial Democratic Com
mitteeman for Kentucky, bearing upon
the factional difficulties arising in the
ranks of the Democratic party in Ken
lucky through the nomination of Will
liam Goebel for Governor at Louisville
several weeks ago.
Mr.. Bryan goes on at length to show
Mr.. Goebel's loyalty to the Chicago
platform, and expresses a desire that
all gold Democrats shall return to the
party fold. provided they will accept
the Democratic platform and support
candidates pledged to it.
Certainly a victory won upon the
platform adopted by the Louisville con-
vention cannot do harm. but what shall
we say of a defeat? If the Republican
State ticket is elected the Republicans
in Kentucky and elsewhere will be en-
couraged, and the fight of 1900 made
harder If the Democratic State ticket
is defeated a Republican Senator may
be elected from that State"
He then goes on to show how the
cause of silver would be injured by
such a result.

Some New Facts About Snow.

That eminent medical authority, the
Lancet" has just dis overed that snow
water will penetrate the ordinary boot
and that the only sure way to prevent
this is to grease the boot. The ancient
and honorable custom of the Yankee
farmers is set forth in the Lancet"
fully and scientifically-and is news to
no one. But some of the "Lancet's' re-
marks upon beautiful snow" may be
new. 1t is stated that few actions of
nature clear and purify the air as does
a fall of snow. An analysis of newly
fallen snow shows an enormous per-
centage of organic impurities and bac-
terra. These have been swept out of
the air by the falling flakes, leaving the
atmosphere we breathe pure and
wholesome. Again, there is so much
friction engendered by the snowflakes
dropping through the air that it givas
rise to the formation of ozone. 1t is
stated that so much ozone is formed by
the descending flakes that to those fam
iliars with II there is a marked smell of
that element In the air after a snow
storm.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 22-The
steamer Homer, which arrived with
miners from Dawson City to-day,
brought down six boxes of gold dust
consigned to the Alaska Exploration
Company and three boxes consigned to
the Bank of British Columbia. The
value of these could not be ascertalned,
but probably in conjunction with what
the passengers brought with them the
steamer carried over half a million in
treasure.
c. Anderson brought back with him
$4,000. ]. Burke and B. Murphy have
claims on Ell Dorado Creek. They
brought down with them $4,000 ana
$15,000 respectively. c. E. and y.
Letonaneau brought down $4,000 with
them.
Some of the passengers, however,
told stories of hard luck, and many
said that they believed that the
claims on the Klondike were being
worked out.
The miners who returned from the
Klondike numbered about 100, and the
majority of them had little to show
for the work of two years, most OF the
gold brought down being in the hands
of few men,. The reports they bring
regarding the Cape Nome district are
very conflicting. H. P. Anderson OF
Seattle, who had been on Sulphur
Creek for nearly two years, sold MS
claim for $4,000. Joseph Hurley,
George Taylor and F. ]. Francis OF
Colorado, who came from Gold Hill. a
new camp, where a strike was made
last season, said they had done fairly
well, but might not return. Frank Bar
ker of Los Angeles thinks that most OF
the creeks near Dawson are nearly eA-
hausted, and Captain Rowland, a Wen
known steamboat man, believes tnat
the future wealth of the arctic golo
fields will come from new discoveries

LONDON, July 22.-Judging from an
announcement made by several speak

it is evident that the two English uni
versities contemplate a return visit to
America next year.

States Embassader; Henry White, First

dor Choate and. others.
The Earl of Jersey then presented

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
The Present Session Pictured as the
Most Dreary in Its History.

(Copyrighted 1Sa9 by Associated Press.)
LONDON, July 22-The close of the
most dreary sessions of Parliament
within the memory of men now l1v-
ing is in sight. The members of the
House of Commons expect to fit about
August 1st, in time to reach the moors
for the opening Of grouse shooting.
which begins August Dist. The Gov
ernment has met many rebuffs in both
houses of Parliament, and the reduced
majorities with which they have car
ried some pet measures have consti-
tuted moral victories for the opposi-
ton.
The determination of the Admiralty
to improve the gunnery of the navy
has come none too soon in the opinion
of experts, and there is general salts
faction that the authorities have de-
cided to follow the example of the
United States navy and double the al
lowance of ammunition for firing prac-
tice. The recent 'unpleasantness' be-
tween the United States and Spain,
demonstrating the admirable gunnery
of the American navy, coupled with Of
fetal returns just issued and showing
that the best British gunners failed
to hit the target 40 out of every 100
shots, has awakened the admiralty to
the necessity of inending matters.
In his statement in the House of
Commons relative to the shipbuilding
vote, the Right Hon. George J.
Goschen. First Lord of the Admiralty,
practically corroborated the recent
statement of an Admiralty official TO
the Associated Press, that for it's size,
the American navy is as fine navy as
ever existed and much could be learned
from it," and that meanwhile he hoped
that the naval intelligence would be
enhanced.
What President Kruger declined to
yield to the petitions of the Uitlanders
and the arguments of the British High
