EDITORIAL.
CIVIL WAR BROUGHT UP.

Senator Butler, OF North
Carolina, delivered utter
ances unexpected in Congress
last week when the question
of pensioniug ex-Confederate
soldiers was before that
body. While his colleagues
on both sides listened with
interest, Senator Butler
spoke of the civil war and
brought up a question that
has been buried a third of a
century and which should
remain buried for all time
to come.
After presenting an an
alysis of the compact of 1857
he declared that mot a
single Southern soldier was
a rebel or a traitor. He
maintained that the people
of the South simply defended
their personal and constitu'
tional rights. Under the
compact of 1887 the South,
ern states, in Mr.. Buffers
opinion, undoubtedly had a
right to withdraw from the
Union. He was inclined tc
think the compact was not
right, but it was a compact
and ought to have beer
respected.
Mr.. Butler said that his
own state of North Caroline
fully and completely recog
nized the righ. of Soutf
Carolina to withdraw from
the Union, but decided her
self not to withdraw. L
was not until forced to de
fend herself did North Car
olina vote to withdraw to
gether with other Southern
states. They had been for
ced by the Northern states
to take up arms in self
defense.
Every gun fired by ;
Southern SOLDIER" declared
Mr.. Butler, was fired II
defense of the constitutional
rights of the Southern state'
and in defense of home ant
freside."
Mr.. Butler further said
1T was a most urnecessar,
war, the war of the rebel
lion, The Southern states
did not desire the war
They asked only to be al
lowed to exercise their con
stitutional rights. Il h {
South was right and history
will so record. The Soutt
knew she was right at the
time and she knows it now,
It is the duty Of the South
ern people to not permit a
predjudiced historian tc
brand their fathers and
brothers as rebels and
traitors" .............

CARSON, Jan. 22.-The day has been
quiet in the Senatorial contest. and the
talk of scandal is dying out Assembly
man Leidy's friends have denied all
charges placed against him. and say
that he has been pledged to Stewart
from the day of his nomination. The
forces will gather tomorrow and in all
likelihood the struggle will be red-hot
by night.
The State Department has been sadly
dealt with to-day by the death of T.
n. Stone, Deputy Secretary of State.
Mr.. Stone has been associated with the
the State University for the last quar-
ter of century. He was president of
the State University at the time the
institution was at ElkO, New: repre-
sented Elko County in the Senate twice
and filled the position of Deputy Secre-
tary Of State the last four years. His
death may postpone the Senatorial con-
test one day, as it is likely that both
Houses will adjourn until after his
funeral.
Newlands returned from Reno this
morning. His friends say he was we'll
received at Reno and made a very

Stewart has decided not to make any
open-air canvass, but has confined him
self to strict party work.
Both candidates are confident. and a

CUBANS BITTERLY
RESENT NEW ORDERS
Angered by the Instructions Against

Receipts.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 22-The or
der from the United States military au-
thorities in Havana, directing the au-
thorities of the Santiago military depart
ment not to spend a cent of the customs
receipts without the permission of the
Governor General, and the order directing
that hereafter the bulk of sanitary work
shall be done without money pay and for
rations merely, were given to the local
press for publication yesterday, though
received here last Thursday Ell Cubano
in commenting upon the instructions of
the Governor General says:
The feeling is prevalent that the only
This, of course, is an exaggeration, al
though the fact is that there are people
who make just such threats.
As showing how far the province has
drifted backward since the first an
nouncement that the customs were not to
be freely expended for provisional i'm
provements, the Santiago Heraldo re-
ports that a band of men is committing
wholesale depredations in the Mayari dis
trict where several people have been
murdered, and that another in the Guam
tanamo district has burned all the cane
prepared for pressing on the Isabel plant
alton
"These outbreaks" says the Heraldo,
ARE the first fruits of the money central
ization system"
AS yet the Mayari report has not been
verified, and Mr.. Brooke, owner of the
Isabel plantation, who arrived yesterday,
says that the burning reported on the
plantation must have been done since he
left, as the cane there was intact when he
started for Santiago. He does not ac-
cept the report absolutely but says that
the adjoining plantation, the property of
Senor Busno, was fired at four different
points the entire crop being destroyed

rial with defiant declaration:

LONGER THAN EL DORADO
DISTRICT EMBRACES A VAST
AREA OF PAY DIRT.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Jan. 22.-P. H. Hebb, who
is part owner Of forty Klondike claims,
arrived last night from Dawson. He
brings news that the immense produc-
ton of Dominion Creek is proving the
sensation of the winter at Dawson.
Dominion has jumped into prominence
as a gold producer of the first rank,
excelling Bonanza and equaling Ell Do
rado. Its claims are not as rich as a
limited number on Ell Dorado but it's
length is greater. Dominion and Ell
Dc. odo together will produce from
$40, 0,006,0oe 10 S12,OO0,O0O at the spring
cleanup.
A conservative estimate places the
winter output of the Klondike at $780,
600, 600, doubling the output of last win
ter
The rich ground along Dominion
comprises thirty-five claims, about
eight and a half miles, extending from
15 above Upper Discovery to 20 below
Lower Discovery. The rich dirt is quite
evenly distributed The pay streak is
from sixty to 200 feet wide and bedrock
is eighteen feet below the surface.
Gold is found on bedrock and in gravel
from two TO four and half feet above.
The creek is very easily worked, be-
cause the gravel contains less rock
than Bonanza or FL Dorado. Bedrock
produces as high as 800 to the pan. 1t
is believed that the ground will aver
age 15 to 25 cents a pan for the entire
eight and a half miles. These rich
claims will produce $4,000 TO $4,000
each before they are worked out. The
richest claims are number l above Up
per Discovery, 3, 4, 5, 6, II, II, 13, is,
20, "a, 25, 80, "a, 80 and SO below Upper
Discovery, 4, Z, s, u, 1S above Lower
Discovery and l, 2, 3, 4, Z and 8 below
Lower Discovery. Number 33 below
Upper Discovery is one Of the very
richest
The prices of Dominion claims have
doubled and trebled since the winters s
development has shown their richness.
Number below Upper Discovery was
sold by Harry Ash in December for
100000. Joseph Beck, formerly black
smith at Old Tacoma, was negotiating
to sell number l above Upper Discov-
cry for $4,000,
The estimated output of 100000, 900
will come from Dominion, Ell Do

ATTEMPT TO DEFRAUD.
Plans in the Contract for a Santa
Cruz Bridge Altered.

SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 22-Recently the
Supervisors awarded a contract for the
building of a steel and iron bridge near
Aptos to San Francisco firm of bridge
builders. Work was under way when a
local contractor whose bid was among
those rejected discovered that the plans
on file in the County Clerks office were
not the same as those he and the other
contractors had figured upon. The plans
are for a bridge that can be built at much
less cost.
How the plans were substituted has not
been ascertained. The Supervisors will in
vestigate. Work on the Aptos bridge has
been ordered stopped pending the investi-
cation. The San Francisco firm has done
prove that the plans have not been
changed the certified check given as a
guarantee that the work Will be per-
formed according to plans will be forfeit
ed and the contract rescinded.
