R. J. Burde, editor of the White Horse Tribune, is an unlucky individu al in some respects, particularly in the preservation of delicate portions of bis anatomy. Several weeks ago, while playing hockey, he broke collar bone; and the other day he had his nose fractured while in pursuit of pleasure in the very self same delightful game that was his former undoing.
 Capt. E. T. Barnett, who left Circle City January 9th, arrived in Skagway February 2nd. He came out with what is known as the Ben Atwater dog team, and covered the distance between Daw- son and White Horse in six days and eight hour, travelling only in the day time. The highest number of miles covered in one day, F hours actual driving time, was 72. He reports noth- ing doing at Tanana this winter, but says the camp is all right.
 The skagway Alaskan of January 30 stated that 25 variety people were pas sengers on the steamer Dolphin to fill dates at the two Juneau theatres. This is not correct. There are no theatres doing business in Juneau at the pres ent time, and the talent referred to are filling engagements at the Douglas City Opera House, which is the only house in Southeastern Alaska that furnishes first class vaudeville entertainment every night in the week.
 The Moosehide Indians of the Yukon are off on one of the biggest hunting expeditions in which they have indulg- ed for many years. The braves say that the advent of the white men has driven off the game, so that it is neces- sary for them to hunt further and harder for big animals. However, much of the spells of the chase will be sold to the whites. The village of Moose hide, down the river on the opposite side from Dawson, is entirely deserted.
 J. R. Montgomery, who represents large capital in the White river coun- try, and recently passed through skag- way on the way to the interior, says the Alaskan, has returned from Selkirk and is now in the city purchasing horses to take in with him. He would not give any definite information as to just what he intended to do but showed some very fine copper speci- mems that came from point $50 miles up the White river. The largest piece of ore was in the shape of horseshoe, and MT. Montgomery claims that it as- says 86 per cent copper. In fact the rock had the appearance of being pure copper.
 A Dawson special to the Skagway Alaskan says that thousands of acres of Yukon hydraulic concessions have been thrown open for placer entry. Advices have been received from Otta- wa to the effect that on account of the noncompliance with the government regulations, concessions have been re- voked on sixty-MiIe, Ten-Mile, Slate creek, Stewart river, Forty-Mile, Otta- wa and Ballarat creeks. These conces- sions comprised many acres on all of the creeks and rivers here enumerated, and the field for prospecting thus pro vided for Yukon prospectors has been greatly enlarged. The action of the government meets with the approval of the citizens of Dawson.

A Dawson special to the Skagway News says that one of the most terrible accidents in the history of Klondike occurred on No. 2, Bonanza, January 23rd. Holes were being sunk on the claim, and Superintendent Lester, while attempting to examine the condi- ton of the fire, fell headlong down the shaft into the fire. His agonizing cries at once brought assistance, but before he could be rescued he was nearly roasted to death. At last accounts he was still alive, though suffering ter ribly.
 It is reported from Dawson that good pay has been discovered on the right limit hillside opposite above on Low CT Dominion. The pay is in gravel bed from to feet deep and pans from 10 to 38 cents to the pan. Good prospects have also been reported on other hill sides in the same limit. Until recently prospectors have avoided the right limit as it was so great depth to bed rock; while many shafts were sunk to bed rock, very little if any drifting was done until this winter.
 The Record Miner says that MT. Wm. McBurney, who for some time acted as auditor of the American Gold Mining company, and had number of warm friends in Juneau, since his return to his home in New York has kept up a curious little custom which seems to us highly original. On great occasions, like Christmas, one of his warmest per sonal friends always receives neatly folded bill for a sufficient amount with polite request that it bo used for "blowing some of the boys to the drinks" His memory is thus kept green.
 The Skagway Nows says that real es tate is on the mend in the one-time prosperous city of Dyea. The Dyea Townsite Syndicate proposes to pro- cure bona fde title to the property by punching all the interests and talk ing up the land with soldiers addition al homestead script. There has been quite little boom in Dyea realty on account of the move and there has been more travel to the Chilkoos town than there has been for some time past. c. w. Young, the Juneau merchant, is largely interested in the reorganization scheme.
 Not the least interesting feature of the deposits of coal found in this north land, says the Skagway News, is the fresh testimony which it affords re- garding the temperatures which were once common near and within the Arc tic circle. The luxuriant vegetation which gave rise to the great coal de- posits is believed to have been depend ent upon tropical or more than tropi- cal warmth, as we'll as the presence of an enormous amount of carbonic acid gas in the atmosphere. There are indi- cations that the magnolia and vine fourished in the vicinity of Disco con- temporaneously with the formation of coal there. These are no more remark able, perhaps, than the fact that ele- plants were abundant in Siberia or that water lilies thrived within eight degrees of the pole. They all bear wit ness, as does the Alaska coal deposits, to the Eden-like climate which both animal and vegetable life once enjoyed in extremely high latitudes, aud which probably endured long enough to ia cilitate the migration of primitive man from continent to continent.

PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS.
Hon. j. L. Carney, Who was a dele

sensation by casting his ballot for VIII

gained at that time. Mr.. Carney said:

 Mir Roosevelt is strongly in favor of reciprocity and of a more emphatic kind than ever Blaine dared cham pion. The president believes in re- ciprocity with European countries. Referring to this fact. a democratic statesman recently asked me what the president proposed in regard to Great Britain, which country" he went on to say. "buys from us more than 40 per cent of our European exports. Is it possible that because England has always admitted American goods free of duty he continued. five are going to negotiate reciprocity treaties with her neighbors that will enable them to sell in the American markets at a lower rate than England? Or will we begin our reciprocity legisla
 fairly and squareiy by granting the freedom of our markets to the nation that always, and irrespective of our treatment of her, has given us the freedom of hers? What have MT Roosevelt and his reciprocity friends to tell us about England?'

The cold experienced by the Alaskan explorers would feel like a genial warmth compared with the chill that the spoilsmen have received during the past week from announcements and rumors that have emanated from the white house. The president has de- clared that "all appointments in our dependencies" will be made solely on the ground of merit. This assurance was made to Clinton k. Woodruff, chairman of the committee on depen- dencies of the National Civil Service Reform league. Furthermore the president has allowed it to be known that he will oppose Representative Hopkins scheme for transferring the clerks of the census bureau to the civil service classified list. and it is ru- mored that all the 'laborers'' in the departments, most of whom, like Mac lay of the navy department, are la borers in name only, are to be placed within the jurisdiction of the civil ser vice commission.

There are still a number of claims for prize money growing out of the Spanish war still in litigation, but the awards that have been determined upon are as follows: Admiral Samp- son. grand total, S25.417.44; Admiral Dewey. grand total, s9,57o; Admiral Schley, grand total, $1S.12. There IS still pending in the courts prize mon ey amounting to approximately $4,0eo,- GOO. and if those cases in which Ad- miral Scllley is interested should be favorably decided upon they would bring Admiral Schley's share up to about $1,00O In this connection the fact that some legal experts estimate the cost to Admiral Schley of the re- cent court of inquiry at not less than $20,000, is interesting.

FRENcaMEN GET EXCITED.
An Uproarious Scene In the Chamber
 of Deputies.


 PARIS, Nov. 19.-An uproarious incl dent occurred yesterday in the chamber of deputies during the discussion of the bill authorizing a loan of 265,0O0, ,O00 francs in per cent perpetual rentes to reimburse the treasury for it's outlay as result of the Chinese expedition and to pay indemnities to French suf- ferers in China.
 M. Hubbard reported that the budget commission proposed to reduce the amount of. the. loan to 21O,000,00O francs because objection was taken that France should advance indemni- ties to the religious associations and financial enterprises. NJ. Hubbard's re port was extremely anticlerical. M. Ribot, Republican, replied to M. Hubbard, protesting against his report, which he described as shameful where upon NJ. Berteaux, Socialist, exclaimed that NJ. Ribot deserved to have his ears boxed. At this the Centrists vehement ly protested, while the Socialists cheered.
 Amid the din NJ. Deschanel, president of the chamber, called upon NJ. Der teaux to withdraw. This NJ. Berteaux refused to do, and renewed outcries and banging of desks resulted. NJ. Descha- nel continued to ring his bell until the hubbub was subdued, when he asked the chamber to censure NJ. Berteaux. This was voted. NJ. Ribot then resuIn- ed his reply to NJ. Hubbard's report, but the Socialists recommended their noisy opposition, to which the Centrists responded equally loud until the up- roar became so deafening and continu- ous that NJ. Deschanel, after vainly changing his bell and calling for order, left the chair, and the session was sus- pended.
 Subsequently the session was resum- ed, and NJ. Ribot concluded his speech. The chamber then adjourned.
