BIG RATE WAR.
Fares Reduced From 500 to $3.50 on
Alaskan Lakes,

Seattle, Wash, June "A big rate war
is in progress on the Upper Yukon and
lakes. according to advices brought here
to-day from Skaguay by the steamer
Humboldt. Fares from Lake Bennett to
Dawson City have been reduced from
500 to $50
Small steamboat companies started the
war by making the rate $50. The Canadian
Development company cut this to $40 and
later to s.. The Bennett Lake and Atlin
Navigation company met this and went
it one better by making rate of 81. so.
Thus far the cut only applies to down-riv-
er travel. 1t is thought that the war
will be of short duration, as its contin-
uance would result in the destruction of
the navigation companies.
Navigation on the lake and upper river
has been resumed by this time Bennett
lake was open to small Scows Nav 20
The steamers expected to sail in four or
five days from that date. The first arrfy-
ais from the interior should reach here
about the middle of the month.

FALLEN THROUGH.
The Pacific Coast Cracker Factories viii
Not Combine.

San Francisco. June 2.-The $4,000. 900
combine of Pacific coast cracker factor
les has fallen through, owing to the IL
ability or the disinclination of its east
ern preceptorS to make good the finan-
Cial emoluments held out by them some
time ago. Options were secured on ell
the large bakeries on the coast with the
exception of that controlled by Bishop
& Co. of Los Angeles. A part of the
bonds of the combina ton were fioated
in the east, but the western agents met
with very little success in disposing of
the portion allotted to this coast One
by one options on Pacific coast factories
were permitted to lapse until now there
are but few outstanding options in tho
hands of the organizers of the trust.

been restored, the prosperity of the peo-
pie has developed, our commerce has
grown great; our trade, domestic and
foreign, has increased to a degree never
before known, and the people are look
ing with confidence for greater things
to come.
''The magnificent achievements of our
army and navy in the war with Spain
for the liberation of the downtrodden
and oppressed people of Cuba from the
domination of Castilian despotism, ac-
complished under the master guidance
of a republican administration, are
necessarily subjects for highest enco-
MUM by convention of Ohio republi-
cans. To the same master guidance,
controlled by the great principles that
have shaped the high destiny of the
republican party from Lincoln to Nc
Kinley, the people can safely commit
the solution of the momentous problem
of the future of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
Their wise solution will vastly in
crease our foreign trade, spread Ameri-
can civilization abroad and add to the
honor and power and glory of this great
nation.
We commend the president for the
judicious notifications of the civil serv-
ice rules recently promulgated; for the
national defense: for the reinforcement
of the navy; for the enlargement of
our foreign markets; for the employ
ment of American working men in the
mines, forests, farms, mills, factories
and shipyards. We demand the imme-
diate enactment of legislation similar to
that favorably reported to each branch
of the Fifty-fifth congress, so that
American built, American owned and
American manned ships may regain the
carrying of our foreign commerce.
I'VE commend the action of the Sew
enty-third general assembly of Ohio in
passing the stringent law now on our
statute books, prohibiting the organi-
zation of trusts and we denounce such
unlawful combinations as inimical to
the interests of the people. We con-
graduate the people of the state upon
the fact that republican Legislature
enacted this law and we demand it's
rigid enforcement
We pledge our party to such further
legislation as experience may deter
mine necessary to prevent the forma-
tion and operation of such iniquitous
and dangerous combinations"
Other resolutions recommend laws for
equalizing taxes, uniform system of Sc
lecting delegates for state conventions,

WON'T GIVE THEM UP.
Abductors of the Clark Baby Held at
Sloatsburg.

New York, June 2.-Captain McClus-
key expressed indignation to-day at the
action of the officials of Sloatsburg and
Gainesville in refusing to give up Jen-
ME Wilson, the alleged kidnaper of
Marion Clark, or as she is said to be
really named. Addie Wilson, and her
husband, who called himself James
McNally.
Both are in Jail. Captain McCluskey
said the refusal to deliver them to the
detectives was an outrageous piece of
work. He said the county officers had
absolutely no charge to make against
them and was holding them only on
suspicion. The crime of abduction, he
says, was committed in New York City
and the prisoners should have been
brought here at once.
The captain says he will appeal to
Governor Roosevelt if the prisoners are
not Immediately given up to him. He
would not say a word about what he
considered the motive for the abduction
of the child.
Arthur w. Clark, the father of Ma
rion Clark, to-day secured a warrant
for the arrest of James and Jennie Will
son and Carrie Jones.
Mr.. Clark is determined to prosecute
anyone who has been in any way con-
nected with the abduction of the child,
The man named Wilson is said to be
George b. Barrow, a newspaper re-
porter. He is also said to be a son of
Judge John c. Barrow of Little Rock.

splendid health. and talks with all his old

Were It not for a troublesome Gnber

OF bis own return to the United States

Of Kentucky is three cornered one,
the contestants being Hon. William
Goebel, Hon. P. Wat Hardin, and ex'
Congressman Stone. The embarrass-

all three OF these are his personal friends,
and each one expects Blackburn's aid

Already the State press is calling upon
him to declare his preference, and there
is impatience on account Of his silence.
The followers OF Goebel are pecially
eager to have the silver tOngued
Blackburn in line for their candidate,
and they recall how tenaciously Goebel
stuck by the Senator when he was
making that desperate fight for re-
election, Altogether, the situation IS a

Test Of LinuOr Law .


With view to settling, once Tor all,
the contention as to whether the liquor
law Of March 8 last prevents the sale OF
intoxicants by clubs and hotels OF this
city on Sunday, the Commissioners have
decided to make a test case Of the issue.
THIS conclusion was reached after receIv.
Ing the opinion Of Attorney Thomas on
the law, and the matter will probably
soon be brought before the courts for
settlement,
The first steps ofthe Commissioners ia
reference to ascertaininR the application
of the act in question we're prompted by
a communication from lanes L. Ewin,
President Of the Anti-SaloOn League,
who wrote to the Commissioners a short
time ago, inquiring what was being done
to carry out the provisions oil the new
liquor legislation.
The matter was then referred to At
torney Thomas, who has given it as his
belief that the act was not intended to
prevent the sale Of liquor by clubs and
hotels on Sundays. The Commissioners
however, have concluded that to settle
the matter a test case would better be
brought into the courts. and have unan-
imously agreed to Commissioner

The Canteon Again

The Secretary Of War recently asked
the opinion of the Attorney General as
to whether Section II Of the ct passed
at the last session OF Congress ''increas-
ing the efficiency of the army prohibits
the continuance Of ihe sale ofIntoxicat-
ing liquors by the Government IN the
canteen sections OF the post exchanges.

the various army posts throughout the
United States. Section Il is as follows:
"That no officer or private soldier shall
be detailed to sell Intoxicating drinks,
as a bartender or otherwise in any post.
exchange or Canteeu, nor shall any
other person be required or allowed to
sell such liquors in any encampment or
fort or on any premises used for military
purposes by the United States; and the
Secretary Of War is hereby directed to
issue such general order as may be
necessary to carry the provisions Of this
section into full force and effect"
The question involved is whether this
act absolutely prohibits the sale Of
intoxicat ting drinks in canteens, or
whether its effect is merely 20 regulate
the same by disseminating the custom
of detailing enlisted men as salesmen IN
the canteens. The Attorney General in
his reply holds that the section in ques.
ton does not prohibit the continuance
OF the sale OF Intoxicating drinks
through the cauteen sections as before
organized and carried on, except that
no officer or enlisted mancan be detailed
for duty in the cauteen section to do the
