Very Poor Mail Service.

The frequency with which morning

Piedmont and Cumberland reduces the
service to il degree of efficiency less sure
than the coach of old times.
Letters and papers that should reach

And mail that should be distributed

later.
This happens so often that it is the

TELEGRAPH LINE WANTED

It Is with regret that tho people who are striving to develop the latent re sources of Alaska and makethe district one of the brightest stars in columbia's banner learn that the provision for the building of the proposed Alaska mili- tAry telegraph line has been stricken from the army appropriation bill The bill has not come up for final passage, and there Is hope that those who are Jealous for the cause of Alaska and her advancement will have it reinstated.
 It appears that the provision for this line was cut out without debate and opportunity to explain its significance. This should not have been. There Is nothing that would more quickly bring Alaska into touch with the world com mercially, as we'll as in a military way, as this proposed line. The Canadian government has built line 500 miles iu length, practically beginning at Skagway, and reaching to Dawson, and has without hesitation undertaken to build a line twice as long to connect this with the outside world. The line to go with the Skagway-Atlin system to the outside wlll pass through a coon- try almost void of possible revenue from intermediate points. The Amer ican line would fnd revenue at a num- Der of points
 Unless the line Is constructed. oni- cers stationed in charge of troops in various parts of northern Alaska will not be enabled to communicate with their chiefs save by the tedious process of steamer 10 the summer, and in win ter pot at all, and matters of moment may have to be left 10 the judgment Of suhalterns, and conditions that arc to be deplored permitted to drag on with out relief, for want Of prompt commu- nication.
 With the telegraph, mining commit nitles would be enabled to secure or ders for material and provisions with out the long journey to the states, and merchants would have the same ad vantage. The revenue of this class now enjoyed by the Dawson line is large, and in the administration of jus tice and the policing of the region against lawlessness this line has proved Of much service.
 Alaska yields millions annually to her mother country, now let the coun- try help to nourish the offspring that pays her 30 handsomely.

DUKE Is LAID TO REST.
Kaiser and Prince of Wales Attend
the Funeral.

Coburg. Aug. emperor William ar
rived here at 1870 a. m to attend the
funeral of the late Duke of Sake
Coburg and Gotha. He was given an
ovation by dense crowds awaiting him
at all points along the route.
As soon as the emperor arrived at
the castle the funeral cortege was i'm
mediately formed. The emperor walked
in the first rank, between Duke Charles
Edward and the Prince Regent. The
Prince of Wales, between the Grand
Duke of Hesse and King Ferdinand of

Duke of Connaught, the Duke of York

J. M. Condor Writes His Parents He
is Doing Well There.

Pat Condor, the well known mining
man, received a letter yesterday from
his son, j. NJ. Condor, who joined in
the pilgrimage to Cape Nome several
months ago. The letter was dated at
Cape Nome July 18th. and it relieved
the anxiety Of Mr.. and Mrs. Condor,
who entertained feaIs that the boat
upon which their son took passage had
been lost.
According to the letter, young Con-
don is faring very we'll and when he
wrote he stated he was working sluices
and receiving as his pay a third of the
cleanup and board. He refused a
place offered him with wages at 81 a
day TO take il.
Cape Nome, he says, is a pretty good
place, but there are too many people
in the camp for its own good, so he
would not advise anyone to go there,
but he expects to see better conditions
prevail next year and believes the op-
pOrtunities will be better then than
they ere now.
There were about 5000 people work
ing on the beach at the time he wrote.
He tried ii there himself, but could
make only about 81 or SO day and
never over s.. Some good properties

believes some big mines will be opened
up there.

QUEER FOSSILS FOUND.
Discoveries Made in Eastern Oregon
Basin

San Francisco, Aug. 4.-The Palaeon-
tological expedition of the University
of California, which has just returned
from the Kohn Day fossil fields in
eastern Oregon. reports the discovery
of number of new species of extinct
animals.
I'VE found fossil remains of a tapir. -
said Professor Joseph Q. Merriam
head of the expedition. IAN animal
whose presence in the Oregon basin in
ancient times was never before sus-
pected. Among our finds were bones
of the rhinOcerOs. peccary. extinct spe-
cies of the horse, an extinct cat and
many other mammals, the modern
relatives of which are today found
only in tropical countries. We found
also fossil remains of the mastodOn,
but these date from a time far less
ancient than most of our specimens.
The material gathered will be placed
in the University of California mu-
scum.

London, Aug. Awhile deep in dis
cussions of anarchism, the obscurity of
Chinese affairs and the issues of their
own general election, Englishmen are
attentive to the course of the American
political campaign. Rather curiously
the journals here are taking sides in
American politics according to their
views, not on currency questions. but
on the South African war. Thus Mr.
Labouchere laments that the English
radicals have not so positive a rallylng
cry as have the Democrats in the anti
imperialistic portion of their plat
form.
The Speaker touches upon American
politics from the standpoint that the
dominant issues in the general cleo
tiOns of both English-speaking peoples
are about the same.
