was devoted to private pension bills.
In the Senate on Saturday, when there
were only a dozen Senators present, a
Boer sympathy resolution introduced by
MIR. Allen was passed before its purport
was realized. A minute later the vote
was rcconsidercd and the resolution went
over. The financial debate was contin-
ued by Mr.. Chandler, who opposed the
gold standard and strongly urged the
double standard. Mr.. Chiffon and MIR.
Money also spoke. The House was not

thorizing the President to appoint COM
missioners to any future international BIZ
metallic conference. Devoted the rest
of the day to debate on the Aldrich
amendment providing that the provisions
of the bill are not intended to place any
obstacles in the way of international BIZ
metallism. The House debated the legis-
lative. executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill, the arguments assuming a po-
litical tingc. The feature was n sharp

Nesbitt election law in that State.
On Thursday the Senate passed the
Senate substitute for the House currency

he was assaulted with criticisms from
many quarters. The most common judg-
ment passed upon him was that he sought
notoriety and that he was eccentric. In
Topeka DIR. Sheldon is known to be sim
ccre in his efforts to do good in all that
he undertakes, and his admirable person
ality disarms any criticism on the score
of cccentricity. q
To acquaint himself with the actual
life of the classes with which he seldom
had opportunity to come in close contact
DIR. Sheldon has spent much Of his time
in mixing with those of humble station.
Not long ago he asked his congregation
for n vacation of three months with the
exception of Sundays. 1t was not known
what he was doing during that time, but
it transpircd that he gave himself up to
work among the poorer classes. He es-l

SAND RIGA WITH GOLD.
There Will Soon BE "a Great Stampede
for Cape Nome. :.

There Will Soon BE u Great stampede
for Cape Nome. :.
The coming stampede to the new gold
fields of Cape Nome, Alaska, promises to
eclipse anything of the kind in recent
years. Communication cannot be opened
before May, but the summer will see an
influx of fully 10000 miners into this
newly discovered field. There were 1000
men there last year and the stories of
their success have spread far and wide.
Gov. Brady is much worried Owe the
question of how order is to be preserved.
The richest deposits are Oh the beach 90
tween the low and high tide marls and
no title can be given to claims. Last
summer the miners agreed to respect one
anotiier's rights. but when the rush comes
there will be many clashes and doubtless
much bloodshed. The field is extremely
rich and is easy to work. Last summer
about $3,500,0O0 in gold was taken out,
one claim paying S175,000 in FIVE weeks.
One of the steamers took $50 tons of
sand shoveled at random from the beach
to San Francisco last year. 1t was put
into a big smeltcr there, and yielded &c.
600 in gold. The beach has been pros
pected for fifteen miles. Nobody knows
where the gold came from. Some think
it was from the hills, brought down by
glaciers, and some think it was thrown up
by a volcano.
