News From the Kondik..

Gratifying but disquieting news comes
from the gold fields in the Klondike
Steamers arriving from Alaskan ports
bring returning gold seekers who eonser-
vatively estimate this seasons output of
the precious metal at twenty million dol
lars. That amount represents ease and
comfort and relief from the dread
responsibilities OF mere bread winning
to many hundreds of American citizens. 1t
suggests vaster possibilities of wealth pro-
duction in that far-off region than a too
conservative view would take Of it by
limiting the amount of gold to the placer
deposits from which this twenty million
was picked. 1t indicates great auriferous
strata somewhere in the region as yet
unexplored.
All of this tremendous amount OF unde-
veioped wealth ought to be poured into the
lap OF this nation. and the most OF II will

toned the first marriage in Massachusetts,
as the marriage of the school house and

this union was the New England civiliza-

Our DUTY i'm santo Domin.o

The present disgraceful condition of af-
fairs in Santo Domingo is directly due to
the old provincial spirit from which this
Government of ours is Just beginning to
emerge.
In lsIl the DoIninieans, by nearly unan-
smous vote, asked TO be annexed to the
United States, and We shrank back from
the offer like the green countryman who
on his first visit to the big city thinks
everybody he meets wants to sell him a
gold brick. Had we then accepted Santo
Dorringo's offer, the whole island of which
IL is part and which next to Cuba is the
largest in the West Indian group. would
have been ours long before this time. That
would have made present relations much
pieasanter all around. and would have an
npally saved to the Treasury at Wash
ington vast sum Of money which has
been wasted because Of the lack of prope.
coaling facilities in the Antilles for our
ships. II would also have advanced the
cause OF social order and Industrial prog
ress on all the islands in that region by the
example we would have set It might even
have secured Cuba and Porto Rico to us
without bloodshed and heavy expenditure
through the forces of benevolent assipi
lation" which would have been set In mo-
tion.
What we foolishly refused to accept then
as free offering we may have to fight for
in the no: distant future. Nothing has o,
CURED since 1871 to kill the spirit of gen
uine Americanism which animated the re-
quest Of the Dominicans for annexation tn
this country. II represents one of those
impulses of people which can be chiiIei

Paris, July SI.-Mr. Maliet- Provost. re-
suming his argument of the case Of venez-

Moreca was the western boundary OF the

westward from Pomeroon.
