CAPE NOME
Gold Seekers 1000 Strong on
Their Way North.

Tacoma, Wash, June s.-The first
and biggest part Of the Cape Nome
rush is over, so far as the departure of
10, 900 gold seekers from Tacoma and
Seattle is concerned. The argonauts
have come from the four corners of
the earth. Miners from far away
Australia have mingled with their fell
lows from South A America, South Afri-
ca and every mining state and terri
tory in the Union on the streets of Pu
get Sound cities during the past two
months. They were all headed the
same way-for the golden beaches
and trunda stretching along Behring
sea between Cape Nome and Cape
York.
Since the 18th OF April SO steamships
and sailing craft have departed from
Puget Sound for the northern Tgold
fields. Pathetic sights have been wit
messed on the wharves. where fathers
and sons were tearing themselves
away from home surroundings to carve
out now career among the unknown
hardships of placer camp. These
vessels have taken northward about
1O, 900 men and women. Several craft
to sail within few days will further
swell the mum Der. Most OF the steam
ships will make second and some a
third trip, making, at q conservative
estimate the numbe of gold hunters
sailing from Puget Sound alone 16, 900
/ 10 IS COO. The rush from California
and down the Yokou to Dawson will
bring the total number of newcomers
to be landed at Nome during the next
sixty days to above $4,000,

in the fact that they are to participate
In one of the widest scrambles for
wealsh the world has ever seen. Other
! things point in the same direction
Variety theatres in knock down form,

THEY LIE.

The administration howlers keep
right on reiterating the lie that the
Republican party has redeemed every
promise it made four years ago. 1t
promised the people bimetallism and
gave them the gold standard 1t
promised them to destroy the trusts
ald has protected them. 1t promised
them home rule and has filled the Of
fees of Oklahoma with appointees
from outside the territory. This list
of unredeemed pledges might be con-
tinued to an indefinite length and
broken promises of the Republican
party.

COMMON shells, the kind which tear
through earth and woodwork, cost the
United States government Sl5 each,
while armor- -piercers, guaranteed to
penetrate the mail of war vessels, are
worth sl45. These figures make it
Immediately obvious that the real
value of an expert gunner is not his
patriotism, not the mum Der of enemies
he may kill, but the financial saving
lie can make by shooting straight and
wasting none of his projecties.

majority did not care for his affiliation.
Angered, Mr.. Wisby joined with Col.
Johnson in promoting dissepsion. His
heart WIS set on going to the Kansas
City convention, and realizing that the
majority Of the Democrats of the ter
rltory were not in accord with his ideas
and did not consider him available
material as a delegate he co.operated
with Curley Caldwell, a political out
caft, nonresident named Cart
we'll and Gel. Johnson, who has
long since been discarded by the
Democracy. despite his mushy, fatu-
lent oratory, and who hoped for recog-
milton by squeezing promises from
Jasper Sipes, in precipitatingltrouble.
The bolt was founded on nothing; it
was without justification or excuse.
In all conventions msjorities are bru-
tai but the majority element at Reno
was not exactly arbitrary. The point
in the alleged dispute merely hinged
on q rightful decision of the chair.
Yet the minority leaders, seeing de-
feat, used it as lever to pry up the
passion OF their followers.
When the bolt came the Logan
county delegation, although pledged
to Wisby, was slow to follow him. In
an exigency like this the delegates
questioned their own positions; how
ever, seven Of them finally yielded to
Mr.. Wisby's opportunities, and partic-
ipated luke-warmly with the boiling
element;the remainder of the delegates
repaired TO their hotel and STAYED
there. The LEADER regrets exceed
ingly the action of Logsn's delegates.
There used to be an axiom to the effect
that "a Democrat never bolts, no mat
ter what comes" The Logan county
delegates should have remained in
the convention, even if they differed
with the majority and had to vote in
the negative on every proposition.
Mr.. Wisby had no right to
ccerce his delegation simply because
it was pledged to support him. Logan
county Democrats sent this delegation
to Ell Reno to vote for Wisoy, and not
to bolt. Mr.. Wisby has great deal
to answer for to the Democrats OF
Logan county. The county has been
placed in bad light in the eyes of
the territorial democrats and Mr..
Wisby can hereafter hold the palm
as the unwlse, indiscreet Col johnson,
of Logan county.

Even the N eN York Tribune is be-
coming alarmed At the apparent sp-
proach of financial and business dis
asters for boded by the strikes and
other causes, and sounds the warning
thus:
Would an election of a president
be complete if there were not during
the campaign the regular number of
disasters? Rather more of them than
usual might with reason be looked for
this year, because the state of bust
ness is such that q considerable de-
crease is probable In many branches" !"

Vancouver b. c., June s.-Admira!
Sir f. r. Freemantle, for years in
charge of the Indian and Chinese
squadrons and now commander in
Chief at Davenport, arrived today on
his return from a tour through the
Orient. He said that he thought ia
pan and Russia would surely 6ght. At
any rate Japan will never back down.
The feeling was so intense there that
no ministry could or would give in to
Russia. Korea, he said, should belong
to Japan and the japanese know il
and would fight for it,
When questioned as to what part
England would take in the struggle,
he said he could make no statement
whatever as to England's course in
the event of war, but he believed that
japan was in the right, that she would
fight and she would win,
When told of the recent massacre Of
British missionaries and Japan's pro-
test against Russia sending in more
troops, he aaid;
That intensifies the situation, but

ONE may look carefully through all
the proceedings of the Ell Reno con-
vention for points of order upon which
the factionlsts could predicate the sim
plest grounds for boiling without find
ing the slightest reason for their ac.
ton. The truth is certain men went
into the convention with a cont bina-
ton slate which they thought would
make them delegates to the national
convention, but before the crucial pc
rioi had arrived the other fellows had
punched it full of leak holes and they
bolted. That's all there is to it.

three times its value. the facts of
which are we'll known to the lawyers
and people of western New York, all
of which were known also to the pres.

made. In addition to these notorious
charges the bar association of West
ern New York, without regard to pol
itics, met TO consider the appointment
and out of &c lawyers present the vote
stood "a for and 80 against the ap-

DEMOCR4TIC PRESS COMMENTS ON
FL RENO BOLTERS

When Col. Johnson, Joe Wisby and
Dan Peery and others found that they
could neither control nor bust up the
territorial convention Tuesday, they,
with few others. walked out of the
convention with the indelible brand
"bolters" on their backs. Their op-
ponents went into the convention
with a majority against them, and
when they realized that such was the
case they set TO work TO defeat, If pos
sible, the will of the majority. Fall
ing in this they gave the signal and
bolted the convention. Logan, Okla
homa, Canadian, Kingfsher and GAR
field counties were in the wslkout,
while few of the smaller counties in
the c. and A. country followed them,
making the total number of delegates
seventy~two by actuas count. A num-
Der of delegates refused TO vote, but
remained in their seats. The boiling
faction held a ramp convention after
supper and proceeded to elect rump
delegation, composed Of rump Demo-
Gratis, 10 the national convention. One
of the cardinal principles OF Democ-
racy is submission TO the will OF the
maj ority, and if those who refused to
SD bmit TO that will can gain any con-
ISOLATION by their actions they are en-
tirely welcome to all they can get, as
they are the injured persons and not

that our delegation was very active
in bringing bout the bolt from the
convention, resulting in the organiza-
ton of rump soap box seat conven-
tiop in the rear of the opera house and
their actions during the bowling ter
ror for over an hour before the bolt or

laughing audience more of jumping
jacks than calm, deliberate Democrats,
working for the good or harmony of
the party. Jasper Jipes, as chairman
of the territorial central committee,
showed extreme weakness in instill-
ing personal ambition into his duties
as chairman. He called the conven~
tion to order regularly. and, through
the action of the committee, named
Freeman Miller, of Saltwater, as
