Am erican Consul McCook Writes to
Skagway Asking for Virus--Army
Physician Vaccinates All the
Soldiers Mt this Point.

Dawson has the smallpox. That is,
number OF the people in that CITY are
afflicted with the disease.
The news comes from an authoritative
source, namely United States Consul &c.
McCook. A letter from Consul MoCook
was received by DR.. Bailey. lieutenant
doctor for Co. of the United States in
flntrv. stationed in Skagway.
Consul McCook wrote under date OF
july 7, and stated in substance that there
were few cases of smallpox in Dawson
which had not been Isolated soon enough.
His object in writing was to get vaccine.
The consul also stated that only one doctor
in Dawson has vaccine, and he was char2-
ing 500 to Vacinnate a patient. DIR.
Bale, has considerable supply of virus
and Immediately upon receiving the news
from Dawson had all the members of Co.
L vaccinated. The soldiers and members
of the other departments of the company
were called to the armv hospital Yesterday
morning, and there scratched and treated
with the virus.
Dr. Bailey says some precautlon should
be taken to see that no one comes to Skag-
way from the interior with smallpox rash.
He has no great fears of the smallpox, but
is firm in the belief steps should be taken
to prevent its spread. The doctor says
that should someone living near smallpox
patients in Dawson learn of the fact thew
might Immediately tlv to the outside with
hopes of escaping the disease and having
caught it before starting, and, unknown to
themselves would spread the disease.
Those well-to-do, especially, he says,
would be likely to want to travel immed-
lately.
Because OF smallpox at Nome. an order
was issued by the government few DAYS
ago that all steamers from Alaska should
call at Townsend for inspection.
I Or. F. b. Whiting, on his way from
Skagway to Nome by the river route,
writes back nnder the date of July 2, as
| follows;
dawson has ten we'll developed cases
of smallpox. These were imported from
the outside, and now each and every boat
arriving here must undergo strict inepec--
ton.

Porcupine Miners Object to
Becoming British.
DISTRICT CUT IN TWO
President Ii Asked to Intercede-As-
sistance Wanted from Skngway,
juneau, Seattle, San Francisco
and Portland,

The completion of the survey and de-
markaton of the provisional boundary
line in the Porcupine district. showing
that nearly one half of that district to-
gether with much of the Dalton toll road
leading to Porcupne City now lies within
Canadian territory, has stirred the Ameri-
can miners in the district to protest in
writing TO the president.
The protest is signed bv 40 miners and
is an eloquent presentation of the extent
of the American surrender and an impas-
stoned appeal for the correction of the costs
| " and nnWarranted mistake of the United
States in conserving to the modus vivendi.
The petitioners represent that:
The modls vivendi has permitted the
British to seize acres of the public domain
consisting of river beds and benches con-
tanning rich deposits of gold. All of Kla-
heena river and Glacier and Boulder creeks
upon which Americans spent thousands of
dollars in prospecting is taken away from
its rightful proprietcrs. The iron posts
demarking the boundary are crowded up
to the foothills crossing and recrossing the
Dalton toll road. thus cutting off our en-
trance to and exit from our mining camps.
v. All this makes our future look I'M
inviting.
1--WE protest to YOU, Nj. President,
! against the unjust seizure of the Klaheena
above kuckwan which is only ten miles
from tide water whereas we are entitled
to the country twenty miles beyond
kuckwan, including the Klaheena river
and Boulder and Porcupine creeks upon
which Americans have made valuable dis
coveries at great expense of time and
money
"*'* Did you not say that you were
not in favor of ceding one inch of public
domain? Here are thousands of acres Of
rich mining ground that the British are
enclosing within their iron posts. Will
you not, Mr.. President, act with the PEG.

IN silver certificates. is coined on that
ratio, and its parity is easily maintained:

US to maintain the parity of at least as
much more in the TWO forms. and mas
much as all the European nations con-
unue TO maintain the ratio of 15la to !,
or whereabouts, as it has existed for mere
than century, and are using silver for
every denomination less than the half
sovereign or half louis. the reason for
such hesitation is not clearly apparent.
II is not surprising that the European
hnanciers chuckle over and ridicule the
Yankees, who loudly boast of their SUI
perior intelligence and shrewdness. when
they contemplate how successful their
New York agents have been in closing
our minis against our own silver mines.

published in the papers, but it is fact
all the same that every ounce of the
silver we produce yields similar profit

RETRIBUTloN FOR CHINA.

This mornings news from China
foreshadows the beginning of a conflict
whose end no man may foreteL It's
immediate interest lies in the fact that
the ministers and diplomatic attaches
Of every great power represented in
Pekin have already been killed or will
be before help can possibly reach them.
The last authentic word from them
told a tale of horror that has not been
paraIleled since the awful massacre of
Cawnpore. Besieged by a countless
horde, starved and almost out Of am
munition, they were making a brave
stand, but their cry for help was
message OF despair.
The relief column that started for
Pekin was driven back to Tien Tsin
and 100000 Chinese soldiers are now
between that city and Pekin. 1t is re-
ported $4,000 Chinese are marching on
Tien Tsin and the European allies and
civilians there may yet be surrounded
and eXterminated-
Emperor William in his speech to the
German marines embarking for Asia
voiced the sentiment of all Europe
when in plain words he declared his
determination to avenge the death of
Won Kettelor the German ambassador.
There viii be no hesitation now about
the punishment of Chinese. No matter
what military force is REG ured-and it
may take hundreds of thousands Of
soldiers-the Mongolians viii pay the
penalty Of barbarism and China will
be wiped off the map as a nation.
After that the delUge. Either war
among the conQuerors must result or
else some combination OF the powers
must be effected so powerful that it
can dictate the division Of the spoils.
In either event. the vast human swarm
of Mongolians is to be henceforth a
factor, in world affairs of which the
strongest nations may we'll have a fear.
once civilized and taught the arts of
peace, they may work a retribution in
individual affairs that will revolution
iZe the life Of the Caucasian race.
Since the days when Alexander made
new epoch by bridging the gap be-
tween Europe and India there has been
no such momentous period in history
as this closing year of the nineteenth
century.

CELEBRATION BY KILLING.

Many persons were killed or injured
in various parts of the country yester-
day. Seven deaths and twenty children
injured by an explosion of fireworks in
one city are reported. and the returns
from other cities are not all in. Too
much enthusiasm and too little judg-
ment may be assigned as the principal
cause.
1t ought TO De enough to celebrate
with fire and flags and noise. To add
fatalities is going it a trihe strong.
There is a great deal Of careIessness
on the part of parents and peace Of
ficers- Deadly firecrackers are made
and sold these days to children. The
old-fashioned cracker isn't loud enough
Tor some boys. They want a stick of
dynamite with a red wrapper around
it, and then they are prepared to cause
any sort Of trouble from a runaway or
a fire to a funeral
There should be some restraint placed
on the sale of dangerous explosives to
irresponsible children. or the celebra-
ton itself should be surrounded with
proper legal restrictions.
Killing is not an essential feature of
Fourth of July celebrations any more.

SCALING THE "PEkK."

Idaho papers should have known
better. But here is the st. Anthony
Peak printing what purports TO be a
direct statement from Governor Wells:
Just To make atOnement for what we
have done we have sent our checks for
S5nU0 each TO Chairman Hanna as our
contribution To the campaign" said Gov
ernOr Wells of. Utah the other day. Gov
eruor Weber NJ Wells of Salt Lake
Thomas kearns of Park City and Charles
T. Loose Of PROVO were Bryan leaders
four years ago and gave $4,000 each to
the Bryan campaign.
Now the Peak must have overlooked
that indignant denial from the gentle
men named. although it was issued al
most a week later.
Governor Wells, it should be remem-
bered. denounced the story as a miser-
able fake, and its author as an I'M
mitigated liar. notwithstanding its YER
idcation by a Tribune correspondent.
But the Peak apparently has use
for only one side Of the story.
