LETTER FROM DUTCH HARBOR
A Yakima Citizen Writes Regardind His Trip

letter to THE HERALD from aboard the
steamship Garonne, under date OF June

me and as we have to put back to Dutch
Harbor, expecting to be there in the
morning, | will get a chance to send this
out. We left Seattle May 23d at 20 D.

one, holding all the way from three to
eight people each then in the Railways
there were what are designated pull

sides these men had beds made on the
floor of the cabins and on the tables, so
you can form an idea of what crowded

nate ones. made the acquaintance Of
state room on deck. The ships officers
are all exceptionally good ones and do
not spare any reasonable effort to make
the passenger comfortable and all are en-.
joying as good health MS could be ex-
pected under existing circumstances.
1--WE have only had two storms that
amount to anything. In the first one
nearly all were sick, myself included; it
only lasted one day with me, but Ben
Snipes was in bed three DAYS he is now
enjoying good health. June LIST we struck
our first ice, about 200 miles from Nome.
Began to think We would get through,
but it kept getting worse until we were
in 81 degrees, 81 min. north latitude and
16S degrees W.-lS0 miles from Nome
The ice was 50 bad that we were com
PEELED to move to clear water, with heavy
ice north, and vast fields of float ice to
the west and south. After staying few
days and making a vain effort to 90
through, the captain concluded to 90 to
Dutch harbor, take on some coal and
make new start. We have passed
quite number of steamers and sailing
vessels all pulling toward the north and
am very much afraid that il they push
into the ice there will be some OF them
wrecked the only thing that will save
them is no bad storms. think We will
get the re as SION as any steamer Will, but
there will not be very much difference in
any of the boats, for they are all bunch
ing near the ice. 1t s pretty provoking
to be 80 near-only $50 miles away--and
not be able to get there.
THE weather has been quite cold
On the night of the 18th ice formed on
the rigging and fell on the deck Has
been a continuous fog for three or four
DAYS and cold wind tonight il is warm
and clear. am writing this at II 80 p.

deavOring 10 raise money for libraries. The
situation is pathetic beyond all words
When one considers the probable cost Of
the pies, the small profit upon the number
eaten. even by champions. and the colossal
burden of ignorance which is TO be re-
moved by the introduction Of good litera-
ture into these benighted regions. the task
which the rie socialists have set them
selves seems nothing less than appalling
One should also take into account the raw
ages which the patent medicine vendor Il
likely to make upon the bank accounts OF
these devotees of culture. It seems as II
the chances of accumulating any consid-
cradle library fund through the medium
of the pie social were 50 small as TO be
disheartening.
This is an age Of colonization. mission
airy work. and enlightening enterprises OF
all sorts. Would II not be well for some
apostle OF culture to so into the Businesses
of the Great Pie Belt" and explain to the
inhabitants that 1t is possible for them
TO have literature without dyspepsia
Could they not be convinced that for a
comparatively small sum they may secure
all the books that they will be likely to
read without holding pie carnivals. in
order to raise the money? II they would
only drop into 4 small contribution box
the price Of the materials OF the pie, and
then the price OF the completed article
and then. "a turn, the admission fee
charged on such occasions they would save
money enough for a large and delightful
collection Of books. and would also be able
10 subscribe TO magazines and papers for
n reading room. II the sum OF money say
ed in doctors bills and medicines were ad-
ded to this. there might be accumulated a
fund large enough to build a handsome
library and add from time to time all the
new books OF the season. II may be said.
in conclusion that this method OF reform
ing the pie social might advantageous
ly be applied to the various strawberry
festivals, fairs. and suppers which are IA
miliar spectacles in most large cities. The
people who arrange these entertainments
do not offer prizes to the person who eats
the greatest number Of pies, but there
are other and more subtle means Of de-
moralizatiOn, and Il is safe to say that
most OF these festivities cost considerably
more in time, money, and temper than they
are worth.

Again on yesterday it was impossible for

Senator Bevcridge illustrates the point He
is receiving formal nOn-partisan addresses
from meetings Of leading people IN the
chief cities Of his State urging him 20 op-
pose the attempt to oppress an American
community in violation Of the Constitu-
tion OF the United States So much for
Indiana, which may be regarded as fairly
safe TO go Democratic in November
Messrs. Davis and Nelson would ne burned
in efigy in ST. Paul and Minneapolis to-
night il the inhabitants Of those towns en-
tertained the slightest suspicion that any
thing could induce the Minnesota Sena-
tors to vote for anything but free trade
with Porto Rico. So it goes. The panic
is on in the camp and it is spreading amaz-
ingly.
Still the Administration is fighting des-
perately to carry out the crazy orders
OF it's masters. Senator Teller is able to
stand up in his place and keep a perfectly
straight face while he declares that Con-
gress. the creature Of the Constitution, is
independent Of and superior to that in
strument outside Of State boundaries.
Chief Justice Marshall and his successors
have thought differently; but they were
not compelled to tear holes in the funda-
mental law Of the land to please vested in
terests. It is observable that there is still
some idea that the wanderers Will come

THE QUAKER ClfY's DELAY.
Republicans Want the Convention
Hall Work Hurried

PHILADELPHIA, March 15.-Tho mem
bers of the National Republican Commit
tee are beginning to be anxious about the
hall in which the Convention is to be held
if Philadelphia manages to get together
the sum that will be necessary to pay tie
expenses Of the affair. Joseph MauIey
wrote letter to the mayor yesterday ask
ing when the alterations in the hall would
be completed and requesting that they be
hurried as he was anxious to come here
with several members of the Committee
and force of clerks and open the head
quarters, but that he did not care to do
so until he knew when the hall would be
ready.
This letter gave the mayor some concern.
as il seemed to him to be a gentle hint
that il the cash was not soon subscribed
and the alterations at the hall begun the
Committee might decide that this city
was proceeding too ieisurely and take the
Convention elsewhere The mayor imme-
diately called a meeting of his advisers
and they determined to make a greater
effort to collect the remaining sS5 600
At the hall there seems to be an unnecs-

The British Flag ut BIoemfOntein.
Just what effect the occupation Of BlOem-
fontein by Lord Roberts may exert on the
future of the struggle in South Africa. we
are quite unable TO conceive. The su-ren-
Der appears to have been willing ore on
the part Of the Fraser element in Free
State politics. and. hence. it may L" indica-

We are greatly mistaken If there will not

days. Il will be noted that after Warrea's

It was intended TO have Warren join with
Gatacre. Clements and Brabant. all under
Sir George White. in Northern Cape Colo
ny. and move northeast between Bloemfon-
tein and the Drakensberg Range. The fall
Of Bloemfontein and the uorthward retire
ment OF the Beers have doubtless led TO the
change in this plan. 1t is now not improb-
able that Butler may march with the Natal
army through Van Reeuen's and Tintva
Passes. and effect a junction with Roberts.
But this is not a certain theory. Warren
may turn up on the Helpmaakar Road ard
the rest Of the British forces might swing
