San Francisco, May 1.-The Exam finer prints a story regarding the new gold discoveries at Point Nome, Alas ka, which its advices declare to ex- ceed in richness those of the Klondike. The strike is on the Snake river and its back from Cape Nome, and 120 miles from St. Michael-just outside the St. Michael military reservation of the United States government. The mines are all in American territory. Reports from miners on the ground say that it is only six feet to bed rock, and the ground is alleged to pay from the sur face. A stampede from Dawson and St. Michael to the new gold field is predicted. Leon Sloss, of the Alaska Commercial Co.,, points out the fact that these diggings seem to be in a we'll defined belt, which takes in the Klondike country. the Forty Mile and Circle City. mines, the Koyukuk strikes, and passes on through the Snake River region into Siberia.
 Rich finds are also reported on the Koyukuk river. one of the northern tributaries of the Yukon. These are also on American soil.

NASHVILLE AT S[. LOUIS.
The United States Gunboat Nash. vile Safely Anchored Near
 the Eads Bridge.
THE VESSEL GIVEN 4 NOISY WELCOME,
tage Crowded with People Anx- ious to See and Greet the Vessel that Fired the First shot i'm the War with Spain.

St. Louis, May 1.-The United States gunboat Nashville. Capt. May nbrd, the vesesl that fired the first shot in the war between the United States and Spain, lies anchored in the Mississippi, just below the Eads bridge, the first ocean-going warship of the United States that ever pene- trated so far beyond tide-water.
 The trim little craft arrived at her anchorage at l2:30 p. m.. and was greeted with noisy welcome from the thousands that lined the levees On both sides of the river, with artillery sglutes and the blowing of every whistle on which steam could be brought to bear.
 The local reception committee left at 9:15 a. m.. on the city harbor boat, and met the Nashville just below lief ferson barracks. returning with her.
 As soon as the vessel was sighted below the barracks. word was tele- graphed to every fire-engine house in the city, and all of the bells were set ringing to announce the approach of tke vesesl to the city. The big bell on top of the city hall, and factory whis- ties throughout the entire city were also set going and bombs fired to no tify the public.
 This was the signal for people who had leisure to hurry to points of vant- az" to watch the approach of the gum boat, and when noon came and the vessel had not yet arrived. every street leading to the levee was filled with througs who took advantage of the neon hour to ''see her come in."
 Coming Around the Bend.
 About 12: 15 screech from whistle on the Illinois shore announced that the Nashville was coming around the bend, and few minutes later her two tunnels and cut-down masts came into view, and then pandemonium broKe loose and continued until after the re- ception salutes had been exchanged.
 The Nashville dropped anchor at the foot of Walnut street, and all the af- ternoon, despite the threatening wealth CT, thousands made their way to the levee to take look at the long-expect- ed ship.
 It is not known as yet how long a stay will be made. but it is very cer- tain that by the time the officers, at least, will be tired if they participate in all the festivities mapped out for them, and the linen behind the guns will not be overlooked, either, in the dispensing of hospitality.
 Thursday has been proclaimed holi- day, and one of the events of the day will be parade, in which the officers and crew of the Nashville will partici. pate.
 Every train coming into the city is bringing crowds of people anxious to zee what real fighting ship looks like. At a distance it doesn't look very formidable. but one can see its teeth, and with the knowledge that when the guns bark, the bite is god for five miles distant, it becomes quite an in- teresting object.
 Capt. Maynard says he may remain several weeks if the stage of water permits.

TIE TRANSPORT BADGER.
The Vessel with the Samoan Com mission on Board is Now
 Due at Apia.
IMPORTANT cnAMse OF CONDITIONS.
pend the Treaty of Berlin, rnd With 1t the Functions of the Rep resentatives of the Three Powers on the Islands.

Washington, May 1.-The United States naval transport Badger. with the Samoan commission aboard, is now due to arrive at Apia, Samoa, and there is much interest among officials in the important change of conditions which will be brought about when the commission assumes charge of affairs.
 Win Suspend the Berlin Treaty.
 It will involve practical suspension of the treaty of Berlin, and the system of administration by which the isl ands have been governed for the last ten years, and the temporary rule of the commission, with supreme, execu- tive and administrative authority. By arrangements made before the Badger sailed, she will enter the harbor of Apia with the flags of the United States, Great Britain and Germany dis played.
 FOrmaIities to he Observed.
 The warships of the three countries will fire the salute accorded to min isters, and there will be an exchange of calls between the naval comman- ders, the commission and the consuls. With these formalities over. the con- suls of the three governments, Herr Rose and Merrs. Maxse and Osborne, will suspend their functions, as all the authority heretofore exercised by the consuls and other officials, for the time being, will be in the hands of the joint commission.
 Suspension of Functfons.
 The same suspension of functions will occur as to Chief Justice Cham bers, and the president of the muni- cipal council.
 Cable advices that all is quiet in Samoa affords renewed assurance to officials that the work of the commis- sion will be productive of good re- suits, as it will enable them to begin their labors free from the excitement of open hostilities.
 Alleged German Claims.
 In view of the Berlin press reports that number of German claims would be pressed. growing ont of the recent bombardment, it is tated in an authoritative quarter that no such claims have been presented, and that if any claims are made by individual Germans. they will be passed upon by the joint commission, their functions having been made broad enough to permit them to pass on all such ques- tions. Their report, however, would be confined to the merits of the claims, amounts, and the parties lia- ble, and it would remain for the re- spective governments to carry out the recommendations by making the nec- essary appropriations.
