BUNCOED.

Private letters from people now in Nome corroborate the assertion made in these columns some months ago that by taking advantage of st me few rich discoveries of gold the steamship companies have created a rush to the far north which will impoverish thousands and enrich the vessel owners by putting into their coffers far more money than will come out of Alaska. "Bunco" would be mod crate name to use in describing the fraud used by the steamship lines to inveigle conhding people to make the trip. The vessel owners don't care how their dupes may suffer, nor whether they return alive. Were single individual to show such indifference he would find the law prescribing penalties, and many bunco steerer languishes in iail for small crimes of exactly the same nature as this colossal one which goes unpunished.

A |, RAVE SITUATION.

The nations of the world have sown the wind in China, and bid fair to reap the whirlwind. They have impoltuned the Chinese to buy modern arms and organize their armies upon modern methods. Now, with a capacity to develop into great warlike nation, with hordes of men who know no fear whatever, end can be readily trained into an invincible army, the celestials have suddenly arisen against the foreign barbarians" and are waging war of extermination, The situation is one of intense gravity. Unless the outside nations quell at once the rising in China, and reduce and dismember the the empire, there way he developed in the fowery kingdom another irruption such as buried the earlier European civilizations.
