The Klondike gold commissioner has received orders to the effect that the placer mining laws have been modified so that hereafter free miners certit1- cate may be obtained for five years in- stead of one, as heretofore. The new law also provides that discoverers may stake larger claims and that discovery claims may be free from royalty.
 The government is holding under ad- visement the desirability of coining one-half cents pieces. The effete east may have been reduced to the extremi- ty of adopting the half-cent in it's great commercial transactions, but in Alaska nothing less than two-bits goes, and that quite frequently, too. God pre- serve us from the baneful influence of the one-half cent.
 Dodwell & Co.,, operating the steam CTS City of Seattle, Farallon, and Ia coma, will run business men's eXcur- sion to Nome during the month of June. The steamer will sail from Se- attle and call at Skagway, Juneau, Sit ka, Dutch Harbor and St. Michael. The fare for the round trip will be S225OO. To an Alaskan this excursion will be cheaper than boarding at home.
 The balmy air of Alaska is a great appetizer and dyspeptics are an un- known quantity. Recognizing this fact, the president has increased the al lowance of the following component parts of the rations for the troopers serving in the department of Alaska. Bacon, issued l pound instead of 3 of pound; fresh vegetables 11a pounds instead of l pound; sugar 20 pounds per 100 rations instead of I5 pounds.
 The Chisna Mining and Development company has started an expedition of 28 men, p head of horses, 4 head of cattle and 100 tons of freight consist ing of hydraulic outfit, saw mill and provisions, from Valdez to the new strike on the Chistuchina. A town has been established and named Dempsey, in honor of the discoverer and locator of the new find. This district is tray ersed by the all-American trail from Valdez to Eagle City.
 The various tribes of Indians residing at and around the head of Lynn canal will hold a mammoth potlatch on Au- gust 2Oth. George Shortridge, chief of the Crow tribe; Koo-too-at, chief of the Chilkats, and George Kaushty, head chief of the Eagle tribe of Klukwan, have issued a joint manifesto through the columns of the Skagway Budget, announcing this great event, which they say will be the last of the kind to be held by the tribes they represent. After this much advertised love feast, they propose to adopt the white mans custom of getting all they can and keeping it and to otherwise disport themselves in a truly civilized and christian like manner. All white men are invited to witness it, but there is we'll defined uncertainty connected with the invitation that makes obscure the intent to extend potlatch privileges to the paleface. Chief Shortridge says he will give away s8,OOO or S1o,OOO worth of goods on this occasion. The pot latch will be held at Klukwan. Great preparations are already being made by it's promoters to make it the most i'm pressive affair ever given under the auspices of these tribes.

cession OF San Mum bay to them II is
Unprecedented that they may try to seek
opportunity for seixing other portions
Of our coast. Moreover the arbitrary
and aggressive actions OF the French
at Kuang Chou. where they are dis
turbrances in order to make further
pretexts for demanding concessions
from the imperial government, may
lead to actual hostilities between China
and France. It behooves US, Therefore,
to exercise the utmost vigilance and
watchfulness to guard against sudden
aggression and to be always prepared
to resist an enemy. Your excellency is,
therefore, urged to enjoin all this upon
the generals and commanders of troops
garrisoning important points within
to be prepared also to give aid to your
brother viceroys and governors whose
territories enjoin your own.
1t has been an evil practice among
the high provincial authorities to cons
slider that the duty of any one of them
lies only in guarding safely the region
lying within his own jurisdiction, ig-
noring the crisis that may be taking
place in the next adjoining provinces.

excellency will be held responsible for
any repetition of indecision or too great
trustfulness in the declarations Of an
encroaching enemy, such as happened,
for instance. to Gen. Chang Kao-Yuan

EFFECT OF DRAINAGE CANAL.

With Navigation.

Special Report Shows IL Interferes
With Navigation.
Washington. d. c., June 26.-Maj. j.
IL. Willard. of the engineer corps, has
made a report to the chief of engineers
on the Chicago river and drainage ca
nal. After rehearsing the conditions
existing now and the methods of max
ing measurements atlsthe bridges, and
giving table showing the discharges
at the bridges, he says:
There is no doubt that the reversed
current III the Chicago river has In
creased the difficulty in navigating it
with large boats now demanded by
commerce, but 1t is a noteworthy fact
that the pilots have been quick to
adapt themselves to the new condi-
tions. and. l have no doubt, could
handle themselves in greater currents
than now obtain.
II / have not overestimated the pia
lots skill. and considering the immense
benefit of the drainage canal TO the city
of Chicago since It's opening, only few
months ago, ! recommend that no re-
strictions be placed upon the legal re-
canal unless 1t should be found abso-
lutely necessary TO do so.>
The engineer department OF Chicago
and the sanitary district are OF one
mind on the need Of improving the Chi
cago river; are cooperating heartily to
that end. and large sums are appropri-
ated and are being expended judicious-
| ly by each for the objects in view. The
interests Of navigation are not only be-
| ing protected. but are being advanced
practically sooner than could be hoped
for In the usual COURSE
Concerning the discharge OF water
based upon all measurements Mai. VIII
4 lard says:
1T probably is safe to estimate the
mean velocities Of the sections at about
| 80 per cent Of the maximum. giving an
average Of less than one mile per hour
for the discharge not exceeding 100000
feet per minute, and less than one and
sone-half miles per hour for the dis
charge not exceeding 10000 cubic feet
per minute, and, therefore, the general
current Of the Chicago river must be
much less
In his endorsement on the report Gen.
4 Wilson gives a brief resume OF the con-
1 tentions about the canal, but says ac-
tion by the government can be deferred
while awaiting the effect Of the canal
upon the levels OF Lake Michigan, and
while further observations are being
1 made. II
