LAYING OUT NEW TRAILS.
Progress of the Government Explor
ing Party In Alaska.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 2.-Some de-
tails of the progress made by the Glenn
! military exploring party in the Cook
Inlet and Shushitna river country.
Alaska; have been brought here by
Quartermaster's Clerk p. II. Kuhn.
Unexpected success was achieved by
the expedition, he reports, as far as its
general purposes went The Shushitna
has been demonstrated to be navigable
for a distance of over $50 miles from
its mouth, with a minimum depth or
water of three feet. Two of its branches
were assembled and found to be navf-
gable for ordinary river boats of COM
paratively light draught.
In a general way, the exploration OF
the interior of the country is progress
ing favorably, four parties being on
their way to their several destinations.
No bad luck Of serious consequence
attended the expedition.
Before Kuhn left Tyonook, the last of
the four parties detailed by Captain
Glenn to penetrate the interior had
party was led by Lieutenant u. A. Her.
ron, with nine men and Indian guides,
bound for the mouth of the Tanana.
The object of this expedition, like the
others, was to discover trails leading
to the interior. Lieutenant Herron's
Indian guides deserted him when he
crossed the divide, but he will be able
to reach his objective point
Another party of eight men, in COM
mand of j. L. Van Scaoonover, is well
on the way to Circle, and Should get
through in good season. Still another
party, in charge of which is Topog-
rapher c.. q. Griffith, is working over
the divide to Eagle City, and mapping
out new trail for prospectors.
Finally, an expedition was prepared
which was instructed to discover q
practical route for q trail from Knik
Arm, on Cook Inlet, to Portage Bay, on
Prince William sound. This party has
great deal of work in sight, the coun-
try being rough in the extreme. and
filled with glaciers
There are plenty of destitute miners
still in the Copper river country, and
some even in the Cook Inlet district.

an average of SIS per day to the man
The principal portion Of the work Is
being done between the mouth of Snake
and Penny rivers, a stretch of beach
ten miles in extent. The number OF
beach diggers is increasing every
day. Laborers are scarce in Cape Nome,
from the fact that the men find they
can do better by mining on the beach
on their own account.
1T is not necessary to boom Cape
Nome. Facts will make the camp. Ny
properties are not for sale, and 1 am
not interested in any transportation
company. BY the time the season closes
this fall, the two or three creeks being
developed, together with the beach dig
gings, will have. in my opinion, pro-
duced about s1000,O00.

Efforts to Disenfranchise Negro
Voters of North Carolina.
BLOW AT 100, 900 BLACKS
TO ELIMINATE CoLoRED MEN
AS POLITICAL FACTOR.
Every Person of Eligible Age Who
Applies For Registration Must Be
Able to Read and Write-Loophole
For Illiterate Whites-Fight Over
Constitutional Amendment.

Atlanta. Ca, Sept. 1.-The Journal
this afternoon publishes a sensational
story from it's correspondent. who has
recently been in North Carolina, on the
campaign commenced there by the
white people, both Democrats and Re-
publicans. to disenfranchise 100000 ne
gro voters in that state. The Journal
will say:
North Carolina has just entered up
on one of the most eventful campaigns
in her history. 1t is a death struggle
between the Anglo Saxon and the Afri-
can, and when the smoke of battle will
have cleared, the political and social
supremacy of the white man of North
Carolina for time, and for all time, will
again immerse the state into .ignOminy
and disgrace.
The campaign is waged on a pro-
posed suffrage amendment to the con-
Stitution submitted to the people by
the last legislature. 1t was designed
for the single purpose of eliminating
the negro as political factor. and 1t is
a notable fact that the educational
qualification enjoined on the negro is
not expected of the white man. 1t is
not intended that an Anglo-Saxon shall
be disqualified.
Must Read and Write.
Every person of eligible age who ap-
plies for registration, for instance, must
be able to read and write any section
or sections of the federal constitution.
Under this clause 100000 incompe-
tent negro voters in North Carolina will
be forever barred from the polls.
But the ignorant white voters-and
there are perhaps thousands of them
can enter through another gate.
Section 5 provides that any lineal
descendant of any voter in this county
prior to 1857 shall be entitled to vote,
whether he can read and write or not.
1T is more than a political fight, it
is a fight in defense of home and de-
cency. 1t is constitutional decree that
the Anglo-Saxon shall govern in this
state. On this platform the Democracy
stands. The Republicans have chal-
lenged this amendment for party pro-
lection. The issue has been joined.
For thirty years it has been lodged.
evaded, beclouded. 1t is to the point
