New York, Sept. 26.-Robert n. Wild
enman, chairman of the campaign
committee, and Everett V. Abbott, sec
retary Of the National dhird partly
party, gave out to-day the official de-
clination by Senator Caffery of the
presidential nomination of the National

he is unalterably opposed to the policy
which would make the country the
champion of fiat money; and he is op-
posed to the policy which would de-
stroy the ideal of government founded
on the consent OF the governed, and
which build up favored classes by leg

Dawson City are contained In the re-
port Of Consul ]. C. McCook, under
date of August 22nd.
Consul McCook says more mining
claims have been worked this summer
than In any other season. because the
heavy rainfall has afforded sufficient
water for sluicing. Machinery is now
found everywhere In the district, and
no one thinks OF working n claim with
out boiler, engine and pump. The
amount of gold sent out this season,
