anyone TO hinder me. Perhaps it's the
best thing after all that / met him. II
the youngster is dead the old man will
never hear what told about him I'M
less he goes TO Merrivale, and he amt
likely to go there now he has no folks
there. He won't go near no shipping
firms TO hear ii, not IL he's rich"
He was beginning TO feel more easy in
his mind when he was interrupted by
Capt. Scott, who said:
what brought you out here, RiderT
20, / got the gold fever like the rest"
"Going to the Klondike region?"
"Yes, / suppose So"
"Take my advice and don't. It's on
Canadian ground, and you can't do so
well. I'll give you tip that is worth
a fortune toyou. Go 10 the Copper river
and you won't regret IT.. I'll give you
the lay of the ground and n note 10 a
good chum there who will set you right.
How are you fixed for money!"
Rider hesitated. Scoundrel as he was,
he could not find his tongue for mo-
ment in reply, and the miner saved him
the trouble by adding:
"Never mind, Rider, / see how Ii is.
but you needn't be bashful. I'll see that
you have enough to start in with the
best Of them. A good outfit is half the
battle up there, and you want all the
grub you can take in. I'm going to
make rush for that steamer now be-
fore get left. I'll see you again IL
there is time before the boat leaves. /
guess my partner will go, to-"
He wrung Riders hand heartily, dis
appeared into his tent, and came out
with plump bag Of gold, which he laid
by Riders side without further COM
ment, then started for the beach with
long, swinging strides, that took him
to the waters edge in very few mo-
ments. while the mate looked at the
bag with glistening eyes and said to
himself:
''He's got a heart big as an OK, but
Pm in too deep to back out now, and I'll
need all I can get to keep out Of his
clutches If he ever finds out the truth"
The steamer sailed the following
morning, but before he left the return
ing miner saw that Rider wanted for
nothing. He gave him the benefit of
his experience in the wilderness, made
list of the necessary articles of out
fit and paid a penniless unfortunate to
look after the mate and his horses unit,
the former was able TO do ii himself.
The return voyage went well for two
days, then the steamer broke down and
it was nearly week before she was
able to proceed. The following night
she ran on a small island, causing an
other weeks delay. 1t was over three
weeks before Capt. Scott reached San
Francisco and was driven to the dock
where the Seabird still lay
Old Capt. Coffin was on deck and
Toms father accosted him at once:
as this Capt Seth Cofiin?"
That's my name"
"Well my name is Scott. My son
came out with you and"
"What? Are you his fatherP" inter

PRssONERS EkANSO u Ess
Philippines to Release Their Prisons
ers for Money COnsideratiOn-Heavy
Raius-lnsurgents ROuted

Manila, July 19.-The Spanish COM
mission charged with negotiating for
the release of Spanish prisoners held
by the Philippines expect to return ID
Tarlac soon with full authority to Sc
cure the release of all the prisoners.
The commissioners hope to be able to
make arrangements under which the
money to De paid for the ransom of
Spanish captives will be deposited in
the bank, to be drawn by the Philip
Dinos at a future date, SO that the
money cannot be used to carry on the
war against the United States.
The Philippines refused to allow civil
ian prisoners to embark on board a
ship leaving Apart, although they had
passports signed by AguinaldO.
There have been terrific rains here
during the last two days. In nse-
Quence it has been necessary to use
boats in moving about the streets of
Manila and the whole country is flood
ed. The total precipitation thus far in
July has been thirty-five inches and in
the last twenty-four hours thirteen
inches of rain have fallen.
Insurgents concealed on the bank Of
the Rio Grande today fired on the gun
boat Laguna de Bay, killing one SOL
der and wounding two. The gunboat
trained a Calling gun upon the shore
and quickly dispersed the insurgents.

A RACE
-Four Leader win "A Heat zach In a
slace for IL $4,000 Purse

Detroit, Mich, July 19.-The gamiest
struggle to win the Merchants and
Manufacturers $40, 900 trotting stake
since the inception of that annual event
ten years ago, was witnessed on the
Crosse Pointe track today by more than
1000 enthusiastic spectators, n thu
sun went down leaving the result de-
CiGedly in doubt, after the four leaders
had each been credited with one heat.
In the third heat The Queen lowered
Directum Kelly's 2:11A record, the best
time in the NJ. and NJ. until today, three
quarters of a second.
If horses names count for anything,
those of the foul leaders of the big
event, King Mond, The Queen, Royal
Baron and Success, were entirely ap-
propriate. So far as it went, the race
was a splendid exhibition Of drivers
skill combined with young, fast horse
flesh King Mond, the strong favorite
of the day, encouraged his packers by
getting a heat. Then the exciting nm,
ishes began. McHenry, in a wonderful
drive. in the stretch, pushed Success
into a winning in an almost dead heat
finish with King MOnd. Geers did ike
wise with The Queen in the third heat.
He tried it again in the fourth, but The
Queen failed to carry out her noted
drivers plans, and again went up IN
the stretch, and Royal Baron rushed
out of the bunch and took the heat,
while another hitherto conspicuous
member of the aristrocracy, Lady Wei
lington, of Cleveland, followed close to
the Baron's heels and got third place.

Again Exhibited I'm a Race with the
Britannfa-She GOes Aground, But
In Not Injured

Cowes, July 19.-There was beauti-
full weather today for the trial of the
yacht Shamrock, challenger for the
Americas cup, against the Britannia.
There were big crowds, both on shore
and afloat. to witness the ace. The
course today vas yesterdays course
reversed. The prince Of Wales boarded
the Britannia shortly before the start.
There was a good southeasterly
breeze blowing all the morning, but it
softened considerably toward the time
of the starting Of the race. A good
start was effected at 1912 o'clock a.
m, the Shamrock crossing the line half
a length ahead of her competitor, being
very smartly handled. Her sails seemed
to set better than yesterday. The
breeze almost died out as the yachts
stood along shore and the boats
housed their spinnakers.
The yachts practically drifted dur-
ing the next half hour. The breeze then
revived and the Shamrock, which,
meanwhile, had slightly increased her
lead, secured a start, widening the gap
that separated her from the Britannia
and rounded the Solent bank buoy at
I1.1t.LU. Inc bIildllIlld IOuIluCu IL
buoy at 11:21:35.
The boats returned close hauled on
the port tack. There was only the
faintest breeze and the Britannia was
getting the best of it, slightly reduc-
ing the lead. Near Cowes. however,
the breeze freshened considerably.
. The course as originally planned was
not completed. When off Southsea the
Britannia signaled that the prince of
Wales a an engagement in London
and requested that the race De consid-
cred over, as he must return to Ports
mouth. The Shamrock was then twelve
or fifteen minutes ahead. She was i'm
mediately turned homeward and
directly afterward grounded on a bank
outside Hersfoot fort. She remained
fast for ten minutes when she was
safely and easily towed off and back
to Southampton. The Shamrock was
apparently not damaged by grounding.

British PRESS COMMENTS
On the R Resignation of Secretary A1ger
Not at ali FIattering to That Official

Aondon, July 20.-The Standard this
morning in an editorial article regard
ing the resignation of Secretary of War
Alger says: president McKinley's
prompt acceptance of Mr.. Ayers resig-
nation is equivalent to an admission
that the wal department has been bad
ly managed. 1t is significant that the
resignation followed so quickly on the
Manila correspondents round robin
Algerism is the great blot on the Nc
Kinley administration. 1t has given the
enemies of the imperialist policy the
most effective weapon that could have
been forged, and President Mckinley
can wrest it from them only by the ap-
pointment of a successor whose past
commands confidence"
The Times describes the resignation
as "a decided victory for public opinion
and public morals over political organ
izations. By resigning Secretary Alger
has practically allowed judgment to go
against him by default and has reliev-
ed the Mckinley administration from
a responsibility that was assuming
very serious proportions. 1t is the first
and most essential step toward the pu-
r%afcation Of the republican party and,
indeed, of the whole political system
of the United States. 1t is for the cit
liens of the United States to take care
that the removal Of a superficial symp-
tom does not divert their attention
from the root of the mischief
The Daily News has a similar edl-
torial. It says: He might have de-
fled public opinion to h last, but h a
Mckinley means to stand for a second
term and has to be on his good be
havior with the electorate
The papers generally regard the res
ignation as a prelude to the vigorous
policy in the Philippines and the recall
of General Otis.

Overlooking Ourselves.

There are many of our most
thoughtful and patriotic people OPP
posed to our securing the Philippines.
and their reasons and opinions cannot
be lightly cast aside. Gov. Boutwell,,
in an address III Boston not long ago,
said:
I'VE have loaded ourselves with
possessions which we do not need; we
have assumed jurisdiction over mil
lions of human beings who do not
recognize the rightfulness of our au-
thority. We have extended our sys-
tenn of taxation and have increased
the public debt in sum of hundreds
of millions. Our pension rolls have
been heightened to The end of the first
half of the next century and we are
threatened with permanent increase
of the army and navy at a cost of
$3.50, 600, 600 year.
1T is a matter of minor Importance
that the supremacy of tn c republican
party has been put in peril; that some
of us seem to think such an evil is no
slight catastrophe.
What are our compensations? The
miseries of Cuba have not been re-
lieved and the sum of them has been
multiplied many times over within
the limits of the United States.
While we are not to undervalue
the achievements of the army and
navy, they are but slight compensa-
tions for the sacrifices and sufferings
incident to the war. 1t is the boast
that the war has cemented the union,
but the union was compact and firm
when the war opened. Finally, all
events in the war eliminated in this:
The foundations have been laid on
which may be set up, as Rufus ChOate
said, the frowning arch OF ranged

JUDGE WITHRow, of ST. Louis, has
dismissed petition for divorce in a
case where there was an agreement in
writing between the parties as to the
course to be pursued in case the de-
cree was refused. He took the posi-
tion that collusion at any stage of the
proceedings is a conspiracy against
justice and stops the judicial ma
chinery, for the reason that the court
sits to promote justice and to antag-
onize fraud" The decision ought TO
