The steamer Lorelei was shipped from Skagway to Lake Bennett last week. It was loaded on two fiat cars and sent over the line complete.
 U. S. revenue cutters are following the steamer Alpha that recently sailed from Vancouver for Nome, and will no doubt prevent her landing. A warehouse on Moore's wharf, Skag. way, had big hole knocked into it one night last week by the fall of large boulder from an overhangiug cliff.
 Two steamers, one at present at Wrangel and the other at Vancouver, will be taken around on the outside and placed on the upper Yukon run.
 An effort is to be made to raise the steamer Willie Irving, which was wrecked by being caught in an ice jam on the Yukon just above Selwyn, last fall.
 The old Sound steamer Elihu Thomp- son is to be put on the Seattle-Nome run, to be used as a refrigerator boat to supply the Nome camps with fresh meats.
 Koyukuk and White river placers will take away from the Nome excite ment some of it's attractions, and many intending going to that place will switch.
 The finding of boat at the head of Norton Sound containing papers with the name of Anton Deitrick, Seattle thereon, suggests an accident or a murder.
 The steamer Florence S. has the dis. tinction of turning the first wheel on the Yukon this season. She made the trip from Rootalinqua to Lower Le Barge last week.
 When man is convicted of a petty offence in Sitka, the sentence imposed is usually thirty days solitary confine, ment in the postofhce, a barbarous but effective practice.
 The mining operations at Nome last season were confined principally to fiji teen miles of beach, and practically nothing is known of the beach beyond the limits mentioned.
 There has been much locating and relocating of placer claims in the Nome district the past winter and some claims are said to resemble hop fields, so nu merous are the stakes.
 The steamer Walla Waua recently ar rived in Seattle from San Francisco with the record breaking passenger lis of 35S cabin passengers. The Nome excitement is accountable.
 Sixty-nine degrees below zero was thO coldest weather experienced in the Klondike the past winter. This weath' CT would be considered nothing nor, than warm spell in North Dakota.

Nome has a debating club. Its or-

Nome has a debating club. It's or ganization owes it's origin to the scarci- ty of fuel. A man of nervous temper ament soon gets hot in defending certain proposition or in combating another one, and as soon as he gets thoroughly warmed up on the subject under discussion, he is trundled off to bed and another allowed to take his place, and so on, until the entire mem bership have enjoyed the privilege of this heat generating process. Alaskans are proverbially resourceful.
 A ledge of free milling quartz, l25 feet wide, is a new discovery in the At lin district. Assays ranging from s7O0 to 5000 per ton have been obtained from this claim. A pay streak l25 feet wide of this character of ore would be a dangerous proposition to operate, in- asmuch as it's output would surely bring about the demonetization of gold and throw at least one political party into couvulsions. If one is interested in keeping the gold standard pure and undefiled he will fight shy of having anything to do with a proposition of the magnitude of this reported Atlin strike.
 Chas. G. Yale, the statistician of the U. s. mint at San Francisco, states that the returns show that Alaska more than doubled it's bullion product last year The receipts of Alaska gold at hints, assay offices, refineries, smelters, etc., for the calendar year 1899 were S5,6O2.- O12 and silver, s229,343, total of s5,- 831, ,355, or s, ,199,844 more than in the year 1898. Of this increase it is estim- ated that S2,40O,OOO came from Nome, and the rest of the increase from the quartz mines of Southeastern Alaska In Southeastern Alaska, including Un- ga and Douglas islands, the quartz mines are now dropping 1,050 stamps and employing 1908 men. The com bined output of these quartz mines for 1899 was S2,704, ,176. This makes the yield of Alaska placer mines the sum of S3,127, ,179.
 If it were possible to eliminate that most tantalizing feature of prospecting, the charm and enchantment of dis tance, more attention would be paid to inviting fields near at home. But 1t were ever thus, and ever will be, until the sands of time no longer show color and the universe is worked out and abandoned. Whisper to the aver age prospector, no matter how lucra- tive his present employment, that far away and over the hills, through track less forests and snowy wastes, past foaming cataracts and treacherous mountain slopes, beyond the haunts of man, there lies buried the golden god of greed, that prospector will not stop to question too closely the extent ot your knowledge, but will quietly and surely fade from your sight, and the places that once knew him will know him no more, perhaps, forever. Far off on some lone and distant hill, at night, some vision haunted traveller like him. self may espy the fiickering gleam of his camp fire. 'Tis there tonight; when the sun goes down and the stars come out, look for it not again where once it shone! 'tis feeting, fading will o-the-wisp, whose flight is ever toward the vanishing, beckouing just beyond.

Fort Wrangel has organized a busi' ness mems league that is ready to tackle anything that comes along that may be instrumental in upbuilding the inter- ests of that place. A military post to tie Uncle Sam's regulars to is just now being seriously discussed.

 An enterprising rustler ;s on his way to Dawson with a stock of fresh vege- tables and eggs and is making the trip with Peterborough canoe to which are attached sled runners. If he encoun- ters open water the runners can be de- tached, the canoe launched, and the paddle brought into requisition.
 Capt Wm. Moore, oftimes affection atly referred to as the "father of Skag- way" left that city last week for Nome. The Alaskan says he took with him a wagon, two horses, blow to cut thro' the tundra, scraper to scrape over the bed rock, and three -bushel baskets ga lore to carry away the nuggets he un- covers.
 1 Every man in Haines turned out and voted at the republican primaries held there on the 3rd of May, and therefore it is said that there is not democrat in that camp. Perhaps when it is time for the democratic primaries to be held the entire population, through courte- sy, may turn out and give our Jefer- sonian friends equally as good send off.
 Andy Hose, of Skagway, tells the Alaskan of that place that last winter he bought two tickets and 40 tons freight space on a Nome steamer, pay inc s2OO for the tickets and S2000 for the space.

COLONEL KENNONS VIEWS ON THE sITUA

Washington March TN the Senate to-day
Mr.. Proctor read letter from Colonel Kennon,
in command of the Gath Regiment in the Philip
pines. He wrote from personal observation. he
said, and was assured therefore. of the abso-
lutte truthfulness and accuracy of every state
ment he made. The northern part of the island

he able to discourage the Americans by
Quoting a guerilla warfare. In the opinion of
Colonel Kennon. the majority of the Filipinos,
with the exception of the savage Tagalos
wanted American control, because the forces
under Agunadc preyed on the country and
committed atrocious crimes against the inhab-
tants. This desire for American rule had taken
the form of burning Aguinaldo in effigy. Colo
mel Kennon was certain the Fpnos had no
capacity for self government and needed the
strong hand of some nation to guide and direct
them. This hand, he thought, the United States
ought TO extend
Colonel Kennon inclosed with his letter an
official Filipino statement to prove that the
precipitation of hostilities thirteen months ago
was premedtated on the part of Aguinaldo and
his associates and that the responsibility did
not rest on the Americans.

Washington, March THE Acting secretary
Of War has received a communication from Cen
eral Davis on relief of the destitute in Puerto
Rico 1t was the intention of General Davis. as
recently announced TO the Department, to dis
continue free distribution of food about the
first of this month. but the Industrial condi-
lions existing in certain portions or the Island
render II absolutely necessary to continue 10
feed the starving inhabitants for some time
longer. 1t is said that in some sections the in
habitants are beginning to raise sweet potatoes,
but In the centre of the island-the coffee
growing district-there is nothing for the poor
to eat Any discontinuance of food distribution,
therefore under these conditions would result
in large increase of sickness and the death
rate. The coffee planters are making great eff
forts to clear up their fields, but having no
money for the payment of help the laborers
have been laid off. and drifting into the
cities Unless fed at public expense starvation
will result. and the Military Governor has. there
fore requested a shipment of 800 tons OF rice,
Goldfish and bacon, in addition to the 800 tons
asked for about three weeks ago.
General Davis is of opinion that the quickest
and most effective way of securing relief would
He says that if he could put about $4,000 men
at work for three months on the roads, involv-
ing expenditures for labor, tools and supervision
of about $223,OOO month. the period of acute
distress could be tided over. The Acting Com
missary General of Subsistence directed to-
day to secure the food asked for, for Immediate
