CONSPIRACY
Miners In The K|ondyke
Want
A REPUBLIC
Said To Have Armed Them
selves To UsuIp Power

San Francisco, Nov. 1S.-The Call
prints an uncontirmed story from
Skagway, Alaska under date of Nov.
9th, telling the discovery of what is
alleged to be huge conspiracy exist
ing in Dawson and ramifying to Skag-
way, Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle,
for the overthrow of the local govern
ment of the northwest territory and
the establishment of republic, with
Dawson as it's capital.
According to the details of the
story, arms, ammunition and pro is
ions have been taken in over the rail-
road and cached ut strategic points.
Prominent American residents of
Skagway are said to be leaders in the
conspiracy. Miners to the number Of
5000 are said to await the simmons
to arms, ready to fight for the inde-
pendence from the dominion route of
the gold fields, camps and towns. The
plan is to overpower the mounted
police, arrest the civil authorities and
take the government into their own
hands. The rigors OF the Arctic win
ters would give the insurgents six
months immunity from attack by Can
adian or British troops and the ad-
venturous arch conspirators hope for
Intervention or outside assistance by
the time the melting of ice and snow
will permit the invasion of their iso-
lated republic.

During The Ten Years Since
Last Census

Washington, Nov. 1s.--The census
bureau today made public the result
Of its Investigations during the census
year 1900 into the conditions of the
manufacturing interests Of the state
Vermont.
The statement compares the con-
ditions Of that year with those of
each previous census year back to
1850.
1t shows that in 1900 the manu-
featuring products of state
amounted in value to s "a us
compared with a value of S ,O66
for 1890 and with s8,57O,51O for
1850.
In1900 tne number of establish
ments devoted to manufacturing was
4o71. They employed capital of
$40, SAT, 964.
The salaries officials numbered
1772, and they employed an average
Of 29, 455 wage earners.
The salaries paid amounted for the
year to 81, 620, $40 and the wages to
S12,2376S4. The cost CT material

The leading'manufacturing products
OF the state in 1900 as in 1890, was
lumber and timber products, but
there was falling off in this interest
during the decade between the two
censuses, The value Of the lumber
pro.iucts in 1900 amounted to $6,I31,
sos, compared with value Of s6, 95S,-
GA for 1890.
The second industry in point Of
value of products was cheese, butter
and other dairy products, which
showed great growth from 1890 to
1900. In 1890 these products were
valued at sl,6O2, ,641: in 1900 the
value had increased to $5.656, 365.

The Metz Pacific PotOer.

With the first day of the new GEN.
fury the federation of all the Austria
liam colonies was formally completed
by the swearing in of the Earl OF
Hopetoun as the first governor general
OF the Australian commonwealth. The
peaceful organizing Of what might be
called the United States OF Australia
has attracted little attention In the
outside world, but there is every reason
to believe that long before the compile
ton of the new century the Australian
commonwealth will not only be the
dominant power in the south Pacific
but also n OF the great powers of the
world. The advent of the new era
OF a united Australian is something
that may well be looked upon with
lively interest by the American re-
public.

In Korea, where Chinese customs
predominant, II is hard TO account for
the origin OF the veil. The women OF
the weil-to-do middle and upper classes
are kept most sedulously guarded. The
latter are seldom allowed to 90 out at
all, and then only at night. A curious
tale Is told to account for a certain
feature of the wells. This consists OF
a pair OF dependent and evidently use

tie folds of the veil away from her

is this: Several hundred years ago.
when Korea was fighting the Chinese.
the entire Korean army and all the
men in the capital of Seoul had
marched put in defense OF that capital
TO meet an attacking force toward the
north. At the same time another force.
unknown to the Koreans. approached
Seoul from the south. Since every
able-bodied man had already gone to
the attack, the city and the remain
ing inhabitants were threatened with
destruction. The Korean women, how
ever. like their sisters in other parts
Of the world. devised a plan by which
they might fustrate the enemy. They

Germany. which brought out the dog
rs a bearer of help to the wounded on
the battlefield, is thinking now of sup
planting the carrier pigeon with the
crow. One argument in favor of this
substitution Is that while people might
kill carrier pigeons for food, the crow
would be exempt from that danger. as
eating crow" is a term of contempt
with civilized peoples. On the other
hand, II people will not eat crow, crow
will eat c%arrion, and 1t Is feared that
these crafty birds might linger too
long over the succulent feasts of the
battlefield to make them valuable as
carriers of dispatches. However. a So
ciety has been formed in Germany to
exploit the crow in this new field.
Members of this society believe that
the crow can be tanned and trained.
and awhile ago the Kaiser solemnly
reviewed a crow In a march past"
which In foreign armies Is equivalent
to our review" The emperor walked
around the crow. and then the crow
marched past the emperor, who ex-
pressed himself as delighted with the
appearance OF his newest and strangest
recruit. But as to experimenting with
the crow as a bearer of dispatches
that really hasn't been done yet.

Part of the West African Coast Ravaged
by the Disease.
Malarial fever is the greatest scourge
along the west coast of Africa. but
the country has usually, though not
always, been spared yisitations of yell
low fever. which is far more preva-
lent along the tropical western coast
Of the Atlantic than on the eastern
side of that ocean. In the past sum-
mer, however, yellow fever scourged
West Africa from the desert of Sa-
hara southwark through Senegal. In
August last, says the Revue Fran
eaise. many Of the officers OF the
French army OF occupation and also
several sisters of charity died OF the
disease. The government of the coun-
try was completely d~lsorganized on
account of 1t. Mr.. Chaudie, the gov
ernor general, departed for Europe,
leaving Gen. Combes in charge of his
duties. The army doctors heroically
remained at their posts and have done
splendid service in fighting the scourge.
1t is believed that the plague was in
troduced by a Syrian and his compan-
ions who spread 1t over the country.
The result was a complete embargo
upon commerce, as no vessel anchored
there and no European was able to
leave. The local government Is very
much blamed in France for not taking
better precautions against the spread-
ing OF the scourge.
