MILL BUILD AN
 AMERICAN TRAIL Can Reach POrcupine With- out Crossing Line.
A COMPLETE SURRENDER
Ni-----.+aa With Back- Skagway's Nearest Mines Will Turn Out Big.

Jack Dalton, known to fame through the Yukon trail bearing his name, who was in Skagwav yesterday, says it is pos sible to construct trail to Porcupine City all within the American territory. He does not anticipate any trouble from the Canadian customs officials, though he says they are great people to act without notice.
 At cost" he said, of $4ooo or S5ooo a trail can be constructed from klukwdn to Porcupine all within American territory, and If the Canadian authorities make any trouble for American miners or traders, we will put the road in. It is rough country and will be difficult piece of work to con struct, but 1t can and will be done if neces> sary,
 "l am disgusted, however, with the way our country has backed down on this boundary question. It has certainly sur rendered the greater portion of the Porcu- pine district"
 MT. Dalton says the Porcupine will turn out quite lot of gold this year. He says:
 "Whlle they were all late in starting, on account of insufficient water at the begin ming and too much afterwards, the output will be considerable. They are now pro duclng well. recently brought over 300 ounces out. It was taken in at our store in the ordinary course of trade in few weeks"

CHAINED TO A TREE, HE DIES
White Convict Claiming to Be Ill Is
Severely Punished.

ELBERToN, Ga, Aug. %. = Convict
Ward, white man serving a term in
the convict camp on R. H. Clark s
plantation, in the lower end of the
county, died while chained to tree
last week and an investigation is now
being made.
News of the death reached Elberton
through a messenger from the Clark
camp. Ward, so the story goes, had
been claiming to be sick and in that
way escaped work. The camp boss be-
came convinced that the convict was
playing off and whipped Ward vigor-
ously and repeatedly. On Thursday
last when the convicts were being car
ried to dinner Ward complained of be-
ing sick and unable to go further. He
was taken out of the crowd and chained
to a tree, there to await return from
dinner On the return the convict boss
found Ward chained as they had left
him, but dead. The camp physician ex-
amined him and gave it as his opinion
that the deceased had died from heart

Americans First to Enter.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The navy de-
partment has received the following
from Admiral Remey, dated at Taku,
Aug. 20:
Dickens command is landing today.
A dispatch from Picking Aug. 16 says
all except the imperial city is cleared of
Chinese troops. American troops first
to enter imperial city, have penetrated
to the gates of the palace. Captain
Reilly, Fifth artillery, killed Aug. 10.
Aug. 10 Sixth cavalry, about 400 Eng
fish and japanese dispersed about 1000
Boxers s miles outside of Tien Tsin.
About 100 Chinese killed, five Ameri-
cans wounded Chaffee's losses six
killed, 80 wounded, in two days fight
ing"
The navy department understands
from the reference to the palace that the
American troops after penetrating the
imperial city were, when the dispatch
was sent, attacking the forbidden city.

SHIRT WAIST MAN ELECTED.
Young Man Put Out of the Column
bus Theater.

COLUMBUS, Ga, Aug. 29.-The man
with the shirt waist has been brought to
q halt in Columbus, and the question has
now arisen, what is the coatless horde to
do about it? A prominent young bust
ness man entered Springer Opera House
in the conventional August costume. He
was minus his coat, vest and suspenders,
his visible dress consisting of shirt,
trousers and belt. He had not been
seated long before Lieutenant benson of
the police force told him that he would
either have to put on his coat or leave
the theater. He refused to don his
coat-he had none. He was escorted
out, but the officer refused to make a
case against him.
He appealed to the mayor, who ruled
that while the police had the right to
eject any disorderly person, they did
not have the privilege of officially pass
ing upon matters of etiquette in the
opera house.

Minister Conger Is Relieved of Certain
Duties In China.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The war de-
partment sent General Chaffee a cable
gram of four words late last afternoon
which practically takes things out Of
Minister Congers's hands and puts Gen
eral Chaffee in the position of the ut.
most responsibility. The message says
Report operations, situation, require
ments. "
There is no intention of depreciating
Mr.. Conger. The government has the
hveliest sense of gratitude for him, but
it is not deemed expedient to act on his
dispatches because, after his terrible ex-
perience, he is naturally embittered and
possibly unconsciously biased and per-
haps needs and deserves rest.
1t is proposed to have Mr.. Conger
came home at the first opportunity and
enjoy a period of rest and recuperation.

HE TERRoRIzED THE MINE.
One-Armed Man Shoots Several Peo-
pie and Is Morta1ly Wounded.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 22.-Jerry
Thomas, a one-armed white man, with
shotgun terrorized the employees of slope
No. of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company at Pratt City for sew
eral hours.
Thomas had been ordered from the
place because he was under the infiu-
ence of liquor. He became enraged and
left the mines, making threats. Late
in the afternoon he returned arme d with
a Winchester and revolver and set out
to look for George Lambert, the fore
man, who had ordered him away. When
he found Lambert he fred two charges
at him, but missed his man. Thomas
then proceeded to attack other employees
of the mines right and left. AS he was
the only man about the place who was
armed he was master of the situation.
William Yeager came out Of the mines
and Thomas pulled down on him with
his gun, wounding him severely. Closely
following Yeager came two negro mi
ners. Thomas, who had stationed him
self at the mouth of the mines, wounded
them painfully. John Jaymes was next
slot. Thomas then sought the engine
room, where he fired on the engineer,
Henry Jordan, but the wound inflicted
is not serious one. Jordan then shot
Thomas through the abdomen and he
will probably die.

BRYAN TAKES The
STUMP FOR BERGER
He Speaks to a Large Audi
ence at Auburn, Neb.
REPUBLICANS ARRAIGNED

He Scores the Administration For It's
Deception In Regard to the Finan-
ciaI System, Trusts and Foreign Pol
Icy and Refers to the Philippines.
AUBURN, Neb., Aug. William J.
Bryan made the first speech here today
of a series scheduled for the first con-
gressional district The meeting was
attended by good crowd in spite of
light rain.
The first congressional district was
represented by Mr.. Bryan in congress
and has since his retirement been Re-
publican. Mr.. Bryan, therefore, de-
voted the first part of his speech to an
appeal for the election of the Hon. @. w.
Berger, the Democratic candidate for
congress. Following this he made an APP
peal for the support of the whole Demo
cratic ticket, comparing the government
to Incorporation. he said that all citizens
were stockholders, as such they owe it
to themselves to look after the conduct
of the directors of the corporation.
He charged the Republican admins
tratiOn, the government directors, with
deceit in all it's policies. This decep-
ton had, he said, been practiced in re-
gard to the financial system, the trusts
and the foreign policy of the country.
He charged the Republican party with
the intention of fastening a national
debt upon the people. He devoted him
self especially to the enlargement of the
army, saying that if ''we could take the
Philippine islands, we could subject any
weak people"
The Republican party was building it's
policy upon the plea that "might makes
right"
They were asserting that the financial
question was this year the paramount
issue only because the Republican party
regarded the dollar of more consequence
than the man.
We have, he asserted, no title to the
Philippine islands, according to the
declaration of independence. In the
first place Spain had no title, and in the
second place we cannot buy people, nor
was it any more profitable than wise to
wage foreign conquest. Already more
had been spent in the way of treasure
in the Philippines than the profits of
trade with those islands for many years
would amount to.

NEGRO DELAYED THE TRAIN.
Drunken Fireman Drove the Engineer
Out With a Large Wrench.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Aug. 29.-Passengers
on the Southern train from Charleston
had quite an exciting experience at
Ridgeville.
The train was 46 minutes late as
result of holdup by drunken fireman.
When the train reached Ridgeville the
engineer left his cab to oil his engine
and when he started to mount the en-
CINE again he was met at the step by his
fireman, negro, armed with an en-
CINE wrench, who threatened to brain
the engineer.
Help was summoned and for 46 min
utes the train crew and passengers
worked to get the drink-crazed negro
out of the cab.
The express messenger climbed upon
the tender and covered Graham with
his gun, it having been determined to
shoot the negro in case he attempted to
start the train. Finally Graham was
driven from the cab and overpowered
and put in Jail at Ridgeville.

COFFEE BARoNs ARE AT WAR
Sugar Refining Company and the Ar
buckles Again Cutting Prices.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Considerable
surprise was shown in lower Wall street
as a result of the announcement of the
Arbuckles that they would pay their
customers one-haf cent per pound adj
ditional rebate on all roasted package
coffee purchased from them that shall
be 10 per cent or more in excess in
pounds of the amount purchased in the
year ended July /, 1900.
This is believed to indicate that the
trouble over coffee is likely to be re-
newed at any time. The American Su-
agar Refining company recently began
allowing an extra per cent discount to
their customers who have increased
their purchases. This is said to be done
to offset the extra 1 per cent allowed by
the Arbuckles to wholesale dealers on
sugar, and in retaliation the Arbuckles
have made the announcement regarding
purchases of coffee.
Arbuokle Bros. and the Wooden Spice
company have both reduced their quo
tations on packages of coffee one.haf
cent per pound.
