The prohibition forces of the country,
particularly the element represented in
the Methodist Conferences, are making
an unwise aud inconsiderate attack
upon the administration of President
Mckinley, on account of his refusal to
apply the power of his Office to the
adjustment Of what is known as the
army .canteen.
The army canteen" comprises the
establishment, at each army post in
the country. of an agency for the sale
of beer and light wines, under the
supervision and regulation Of the com.
mandant of the post. 1t is held that by
thus furnishing moderate alcoholic
stimulant to the men at the army
posts. within the confines of the post,
the men are restrained from going out.
side to the vile dens and gin Hills
with which. in the past, every army
post in the country was invariably sur.
rounded.
The testimony of army officers who
have closely watched the workings of
the "army canteen" is that its in
fluence has been most encouraging.
Gen. Wade says that the system should
be- continued 'for the benefit of the
enlisted men," Gen. Merriam says
There has been a most marked de-
crease in drunkenness. Nearly ali
drunkenness Mt present can be traced
TO strong liquors purchased outside OF

of the canteen would result in lin.
creased absenteeism Increased drunken.

says IL would increase the number o.

In the face of such testimony az
this, the crusade against the "armJ
canteen" seems senseless and i'm.
practicable. No doubt the promoter.
OF the dives and gin-mills that wer,
wont to surround the army posts will
look upon it with great favor, as {
means for restoring to them the bust

The British steamer Clutch, Capt. New
comb. arrived last night from Nancou-
Yer. and tied up Mt Schwabacher's dock
for the purpose of undergoing inspection
by the local United States inspectors Of
steam hulls and boilers, Capt. Bryant
and Engineer Cherry.
This submission to United States au-
thority Is made I'm compliance with a
government customs regulation which
provides that British vessels carrying
passengers from an American port must
first undergo American inspection.
The Clutch is now and has been for
several years plying between the Cana
dian port of Vancouver and the Ameri-
can port of SkagwaY. The regulation is
not n new one. having been made more
than a year ago. Heretofore the United
States inspectors have been going, 70
Vancouver and Victoria at the expense
OF the British shipowner. which the law
says they may do.
But the owners Of the Clutch preferred
TO send the vessel 20 the inspectors.
Hence her visit to Seattle.

Immense Value of Gold Receipts
at Seattle Assay Office.
NOT TWO YEARS ESTABLISHED.
Deposits of the Current Fiscal Year
Already Twice as Grent as In the
One observation-disclosures Have
Been G.OOO Ounces More This
Month Than in whole of June
Last Year-Locntfon Here Justified

The most complete justification of the
location OF the United States assay office
in Seattle is found in the vast increase
in the amount of business transacted
The value of deposits in the office since
July /. 1899 is double the value of deposits
in the preceding fiscal year.
The Seattle assay Office was opened for
business July Is. 1898. two weeks after
the beginning Of the fiscal year. Between
that date and June 80. 1899. the close Of
the fiscal year. gold to the amount Of
IS. 500 coo in round numbers was deposited
and assayed From July /. 1899 UP 10 the
close OF office hours yesterday, June IS.
1900, gold was deposited and assayed to
the value OF $4,000 900.
The total value of deposits during the
period Of the Offices existence, about four
weeks less than two years, is the prodig-
ious sum OF $40 900. The total number
of depositors during the fiscal year end
ing June 20. 1899, was $40. So far this
year there have been 56l9. giving a total
of 9.0is depositors since the opening of the
office.
The growth of the business has been
steady. Each month of the current fiscal
year shows large gain over the corre-
spending month OF the preceding year.
In the month of June, 1899. $500 ounces OF
gold were deposited by 237 persons. In

WILLIAM GORDON. a well known resi-
w dent of this city, died suddenly at
$50 o'clock yesterday afternoon at
his home in Edgewater, a suburb OF Seat
tie. near Fremont. The cause of his death
was neuralgia of the heart. with which he
had been suffering for several days.
Mr. Gordon was born in Quebec, Can
ada in 1898. When a young man he moved
to Dunville, Canada. and in 1866 to Michi-
gan. Here he worked as a photographer
and cabinet maker. He came to Seattle
eight years ago and settled at Edgewater.
where he had since resided. He leaves
a widow and three children.
One son, Frank o.. is in business at
Flint. Mich. Another, VIII a.. is general
manager Of the Leeport Trading Company
at Leary. A third Eden NJ, is a mem
Der of the commission firm of Gordon &
Co, on Western avenue, and resides at 332

ago. This son was one of the incorpora-
tors Of what is now the Seattle Cracker
and Candy Company.
Mr.. Gordon was n leading member of the
Edgewater Congregational church. being
one of its deacons. He took very little
part In public affairs. but devoted a good
deal of his time to the upbuilding of the
church. He was widely known in the
city for his activity in religious and char
table work. He belonged to no secret
nor fraternal organization. The funeral
will be held tomorrow from the Edge
water church.
