Washington. July 26.-The coast and
geodetic survey has received a report
from G. r. Putnam. who Is out with q
party at st. Michaels, regarding the re-
Gently opened gold fields around Cape
Nome. Mr.. Putnam says he cannot
vouch for the accuracy Of the floating
reports from Cape Nome. 1t is certain
that new fields have been opened from
five to 30 miles back from the coast, be-
tween Cape Nome and Cape Rodney.
There are about 1000 miners in this Sec
tion. with their prinCipal settlement at
Anvil City. a new town not yet on any
map except those Of the transportation
companies. Ii Is claimed by the boomers
that some of the .new country is very
rich. One OF the reports speaks of $lU,C.J
having been taken out Of an area of 2t
feet within foot of the moss roots. This,
however, is not vouched for by Mr.. Put
nam.
The survey has no very recent reI orts
from the more inland regions, but it is
understood that the American miners
who were driven out Of the Atlin district
and went over to the Porcuplne country
have struck good fields and have already
spread out in some cases to the east of
the British line.
Nothing definite Is known of the recent
Canadian thr>4t to cripple the American
coast trade by running railroad from
kitimat Arm to Dawson City. There Is
no place called Kitimat Arm on any Of
the American maps. and it is said to be
certain that there is no tide water point
anywhere on the coast whence the Cana
dian government could get inland with
such line without crossing American
territory unless they came so far down
the coast as to make the undertaking
impracticable from both commercial
and engineering standpcints.
Washington. July 26.-The cabinet
yesterday considered an appeal from
Fort Wrangel. Alaska. for help for 40
destitute miners, arriving there over the
Edmonton trail. The government ad-
vices reported that over 100 more cases
were to follow, and, while there Is no
specific appropriation that will cover the
case, the result of the discussion was
that means will be provided by the gov-
ernment to get them to their homes.

Mr.. Howell condemned lynching in the

section was not as bad as in Illinois,
where negroes were shot down for COM
ing in honest competition with white
labor. He said that any complaint Mr..
Thurber made of the south applied equal.

Boston, July 27.-A large number of the
colored people of this city met in ST.
Paul's chu:eh last night for the purpose
of deciding upon some plan for sending
to the south a suitable person to report
on the numerous lynchings. Miss Lillian
G. Jewett, who caused a sensation a few
weeks ago by offering to go to South

Boston. July 27.-It is learned from re-
liable authority that the Yale navy next
year is to be coached by James A Ten
Eyck Of Worcester. the father of the
present amateur national single scull
champion, Edward Hanlan Ten Eyck.
1t has for some time been apparent
that radical departure from the old
policy of Yale rowing powers must be
made in order to keep the university in
the front rank with its rivals and the
first step towards this has been the se-
lection of competent professional Goa CHI.
There was far too strong a sentiment
among the graduates to permit the re-
turn of Bob Cook and in the search for
a coach two men were seriously regarded.
One was Donovan OF the Weld Boat club
of Harvard. and the other who finally
has been given the preference. was Mr..
Ten Eyck.
1t Is evident that Yale could get no bet
ter coach. Mr. Ten Eyck comes of
family that has been rowing as far back
as he can trace it. He remembers dis
tinctly that his Grandfather and father
were both oarsmen and all his brothers,

Washington. July 21.--A good deal Of
surprise has been caused in official circles
here by the unexpected opposition de-
veoping in France to the ratification Of
the reciprocity treaty just negotiated by
Mr. Kasson and M. Cambon. 1t is not
deemed expedient now to make public
the details Of the convention. but it can
be stated that in the opinion Of our own
officials the French have driven a hard
bargain in making the treaty. They
have, it Is said, secured more advantages
than they had any just reason to expect.
1t is suspected here that the French peo-
p!e are not aware Of the actual value of
the concessions they have obtained.
