Cane Nome Gold Fields.

10000 Expected 60 Join the Rush TO
the New EIdoradO In the SPRING.
Reign OF LawIessness Feared.
There will be lawlessness and reign of
terror in the new gold fields at Cape Nome,
Alaska, next summer, in the opinion of
John g. Brady, governor of the territory,
and George n. Wright postmaster at Cape
Nome, unless Congress takes steps to estab-
lish civil government on firm foundation
and makes laws defining the proprietorship
of claims Gov. Brady and Mr.. Wright
are in the East endeavoring to obtain the
appointment of United States Judges at
Sitka, Circle City and Cape Nome. An ex-
traordinary rush of god-seekers to the
last-named place is expected next May.
Mr.. Wright believes $4,000 people will go
there.
1--WE want the general land laws extend
ed to Alaska, so that we may have
homestead rights" said Mr.. Wright.
"Otherwise we cannot help having a great
deal of trouble. We are without a legal
form of government. We have organized
one of our own, electing a mayor, a coun-
Gil chief of police and other officers, but
it has no standing in law. In law nobody
has any right to the beach between the high
and low water marks, where there are rich
deposits of gold. 1t ought to be laid off in
small plots for the sale of the mineral
| rights.
Though gold was discovered in Cape
Nome year ago last September, we did
not get the news in Seattle until last May.
| We suspected at first that it was a scheme
| to get passengers. as the Yukon business
was getting slack. l telegraphed to Wash

appointed by wire over night. / got to

know, because handled the money. Thret
claims in Snow gulch paid $500, 900. There
were 1000 men at Cape Nome at the close
of the season.
'On the Yukon the gold is we'll below
the surface, but at Nome it lies near the
top of the ground. Many claims have
been staked out but there is a vast region
still to be explored. The formation is very
peculiar. Back of the beach, which il
white sand, and rising 10 feet above it, IL
a fiat strip called the tundras, which ex
tends from two to four miles back to thu
mountains. This has layer of moss anC
peat on top, then comes a layer of blu
clay from six to Is inches thick, and ther
white sand to bed rock, % feet below.
1.-THE gold in the white sand runs from
80 cents to 81. 80 pan, and the pay streal
of ruby sand on the bed rock runs So to tn
pan, beside coarse gold. One of the steam
ers took $50 tons of sand shovelled at ran
dom from the beach to San Francisco las
year. 1t was put into big smelter Their
and yielded $4,000 in gold The beach ha
been prospected for 10 miles. Nobod,
knows where the gold came from. Som
think it was from the hills, aud brough
down by glaciers, and some think it wa
thrown up by volcano. Gov. Brad
wants Alaska to come in as a state whe
the population has been increased by tn
rush next summer"

An Heir to Brigham Millions.


Claim That the Wealthy Restaurant
Keeper Who Died In Boston Has a SON
Living In New York.
1t is now said that Robert B. Brigham.
the millionaire restaurant keeper, who died
recently in Boston, leaving an estate of
S., O0O, 900, had a son who is living in New
York with his mother. Brgham's will is
being contested by his divorced wife, Mrs.
Frances Brigham of New York, who also
was the mihionaires cousin. A person
who is interested in the will and who will
be one of the principal witnesses in the trial
said that one of the counsel for Mrs. Brig
ham had discovered that Robert Brigham
did not die as lonely in the world as it gen
orally was supposed. A boy has been found
who is a branch of the old Brigham stock
''The boy that has just been discovered, u
continued the man, lis said not to be a son
of Mrs. Frances Brigha N, but of a New
York woman. The boy is living in New
York with his mother on money that r. B
Brigham paid her to hold her tongue about
the story. AS l understand the case now
the action of the lawyers will be to show
that the divorce was obtained under false
pretences, and 80 establish Mrs. Brigham's
claims, and also to prove the boy a son OF
R. B. Brigham, which they say they car
easily do and so net him nice fortune
which l suppose, of course, he will divide
up among his lawyers and Frances"

Great ReiIrond syndicate.

The Chicago Chronicle says another
move is about to be made by syndicates
that are attempting to control all the i'm
portant railroads in the country. The
Hartman Vanderbilt Morgan Pennsylva-
MIA combination, having about finished its
work of consolidation in the territory east
of Chicago, has turned its weapons upon
the western field of transportation.
The managers of the controlling pool are
trying to corral the only two independent
roads between Chicago and st. Paul, the
Wisconsin Central and the Chicago and
Great Western, in order to obtain absolute
control of the Chicago-St. Paul district.
President Hill of the Great Northern,
who is prominent member of the syndi-
cate, is negotiating for the purchase of the
Wisconsin Central-in fact it is the pre-
vailing opinion in financial and railway
circles that the syndicate has already OBJ
tanned control of this line.

NEWS IN BRIEF.
Report on the Philippines.

President sent statement Of the Com
missIoners 10 Congress Fridny--IsInnds
Need Protection of the United States
Recommendations as to Suffrage.
President Mckinley sent to Congress Fri
day the first half of the report on the Phil
ippine Islands, which is signed by Jacob q.
Schurman, presidents George Dewey,
Charles DENLY and Dean G. Worcester,
commissioners. 1t details a full descrip-
ton of the efforts made by the commission
while at Manila to terminate the insurrec-
ton and secure pacifcation of the islands,
and is devoted to the population of the
Philippines. The following subjects are
treated: Education, government the judi
cial system naval matters, the clergy and
religious orders. the registration law, the
law of marriage, the currency, Chinese in
the Philippines, public health
The volume contains large number of
exhibits. There are several draughts of
constitutions proposed by prominent Flip
mos, one being copy of the so-called Phil
ippine republic constitution. Another con
stitution is that prepared for the island of
Negros. The document presents the CON
illusions reached by the commission on mat
ters pertaining to the Philippines, its view
of industries, social and economic condi-
tions, and an elaborate plan of govern
ment.
The commission declares its belief that at
present the islands need the protection of
the United States. The report says that it
will be safe, expedient and desirable to
grant to the inhabitants of the archipelago
| large measure of home rule in local af-
fairs. Their towns should enjoy substan-
TALLY the rights, privileges and immunities
of towns in one of the territories of the
| United States The suffrage should be re.
stricted by educational or property qualiii
cations, or perhaps both The system vii
necessitate a small body of American Off
cials of great ability and integrity and Of
much patience and tact in dealing with 9th
| er races.
1t has been thought by many that the
system of government by protectorate
which has been established in the MaylayaI
peninsula, should be applied by the United
States to the Philippine Islands. But tn,
commission is not of the opinion that sucl
a protectorate is desirable. The idea OF
protectorate entertained by the insurgen
leaders, under which they should enjoy al
the powers Of an independent sovereign
| government, and the Americans should as
sumo all obligations to foreign nations TO
their good use of those powers, would ere
ate an impossible situation for the Unite'
States.

had trouble are under suspicion. A feud
had prevailed for some time, but the names
of his enemies have not been given

John D. Spellman, a Rutland lawyer, has

wholesale robbery of the city. He claims
that the reports issued by the city officials

proof of their truthfulness, and challenges
the members of the city government to
call him to account for his words. Mr..
