LONDON. November ia special dis
patch from Shanghai says the differences
between Russia and Japan have been ac-
centuated by Japan's refusal to grant
Russia a foothold on the sea-front of
Masampo harbor, Korea.
Careful Inquiries made by the Associ-
ated Press reveal nothing extant in diplo-

gaydng the situation in the far East
That a serious denouement IS so close
at hand as is indicated by advices from
Shanghai during the last tWenty-four
hours is regarded as incredible. For q
long time IL has been known here-and
fl was asserted in Associated Press dis
patches two months ago-that China and
Japan were closely allied, but neither
British nor American diplomatists in
London believe that this alliance Is OF an
offensive nature.
At any rate, II can be asserted positive

aggressive action against Russia, Lore

SHIP FROM ALASKA.
Oregonians Bettes Remain At Home Un-
less They Have Business other
Than Mining.

Leslie Butler arrived home last night,
having come down from that famous
treasure land on the City of Seattle,
which reached Seattle last Friday even
ing. On board the steamer, which was
the first treasure ship of 1899, were $50
miners, and the vessels deck was literal
ly lined with hardy miners. As to the
gold which the steamer carried the re-
ports varied. E. T. Pope, the purser,
estimated the amount at $400, 900, and
muLh of the dust was entrusted to his
care. He had between 5000, 900 and
$3.50, 900 in bis apartment. 1t was rep
resented in sixty-two sacks and bags.
Many of the state rooms contained gold
in large amounts, and it is said man
stood guard at the door of come of the
apartments day and night. One sack
contained 100 pounds and numerous
other dust luggages of from twenty to
fifty pounds each. One passenger dis
played draft for $50, 900 and another
one for $50, 900. Among the big winners
were forty-three men who had a sack or
gold dust package of some description
on deposit with the purser.
Reports given by the passengers re-
garding the prospects this year are con-
fl:cting; but when we consider the
thousands who have thronged into these
mining districts, and the few who have
realized one-half of what they expected,
does it not seem that men are fool hardy
to risk everything to pursue such a
phantom?
Mr.. Butler says that there are a dis
heartened lot of people in the Atlin dis
trict. That while there is much gold
there, the stories have been mag
nified greatly, and not one out of hun
dred will get out of it what they put in.
The same is said to be true of the KlOn-
dixie district, according to reports
brought out.
In the Atiin there are sections where
the ground never thaws, and is extreme
ly hard to prospect. On Birch Creek,
thirteen miles from Atiin, where Mr..
Butler was located, from the 18th of
a pril till the 7th of June there was not
a night when it did not freeze, and two
weeks ago eight inches of snow fell.
The story regarding the famous $780,
600 claim of Capt. Sperry was, like
many others, hoax, and men who are
prospecting near there sunk a hole
seventeen feet deep and took out So. 85,
which it cost about $500 to prospect.
Is it not better to remain in Oregon,
where there are good mines and to spare,
than to chase forever the bag OF gold at
the end of the rainbow?
