GOSPEL AND COMM ANDNpENTS.
Looks as If They Were Suspended in
China, Says Prof. Tucker.

Boston, March S1.-Prof. w. ]. Tucker
of Dartmouth College, took the Christian
Church to task for its part in the Chi
nese troubles during a Lenten sermon at
the OLD South Church this evening. His
strongest sentences were these:
THE very apostles sent forth by the
church have shown that they do not know
how to keep the Ten Commandments. In
China it looks as though the gospel was
suspended as we'll as the law. The Chris
tan Church has been set back, nobody
knows how far by the behavior of the
missionaries in China"
The last century, he said, was one of
missionary activity. yet at its close its
work was discredited. IT. was time of
moral confusion also.

Frauds in Manila.
Washington, March Silt was said at
both the White House and War Depart
ment tonight, that absolutely nothing
had been received by the government re-
garding the alleged unearthing of crook.
ed work on the part of the army quar-
termasters and others in Luzon, and the
arrest of a number of persons, in and out
of the army, for stealing property of the
government or receiving stolen govern
ment property. Gen. Corbin said further
more that the government had no intima-
ton of any sort that such developments
might be expected. He was inclined for
this reason to think the frauds against
the government could hardly be so seri-
Gus as reported, though admitting that
his opinion was based wholly on the lack
OF advices from the government. Capt.
Barrows, he said, was not the regular
quartermaster for Southern Luzon, and
must have been acting quartermaster
there at the time of the arrests.

placed on the tram road ready to haul
up to the mill.
Iwould be reioiced to leave the sub
ject at this point but the truth must be
told. The rich lead that promised so
much stopped short and run into stuff
that would not pay to mill, and they
wisely shut down. The men that it
seems to hit the hardest are the men
that have taken up all the way from 2
to 10 claims and doing practically very
little development'work, but expected
to sell their claims at high figure as
result of Ebner's success. They now
know that his claim was the poorest in
the lot, if he had only been possessed
of their knowledge and foresight the
present failure would not have oc-
CURED. They could have managed his
business much better than he has done.
It is surprising that men of such
high financial ability remain in Wind
ham Bay.

mon district, says the Skagway Alas
kan. He saw the gold and says the
people in White Horse are greatly ex-
cited over the strike. | don't like to
boom a country, said he, but GER
tainly believe all they say OF the Big
Salmon country as gold producer. y.
P. Whitney, the White Horse merchant,
showed me gold and told me enough to
make me believe in the country. He
is preparing to back his opinion by
taking in large stock of goods. There
is quite large amount of gold on ex-
hibition at the bank at White Horse
and | heard from good authority that
they were taking out thousand dol
lars day from Livingstone.
The Skagway Alaskan says at Moores
wharf there is large ware room de-
voted to unclaimed baggage. Trunks,
yalises, grips and war books galore are
stacked up against the walls or neatly
piled in racks. Some of this baggage
has been there since 1898 and very fire.
quently baggage of a very valuable
character is restored to the owners.
Last week a traveller mentioned to the
man in charge of this ware room that
he had lost a trunk in '9S and had
been trying to trace up its whereabouts
ever since. The wharhnger remem-
bered having seen his name upon
trunk and an investigation was imme-
diately had. When asked to identify
the contents in order to prove property
he said that among other things the
trunk contained four and half pounds
of gold. The 81, 152 in gold was found

WINDHAM BAY.

loot, toot, toot. The little steamer
Yukon has burned her back on the
Windham Bay mining country, and its
sharp notes sound to those on shore
like the funeral knell of long de-
ferred but now lost hope. A hope that
had millions in it but now, has turned
to ashes.
For on that steamer with their be-
Iongings and making their final depart
ure,- as part of the Windham Bay
Gold Mining Company was Mr.. Elmer,
Mr.. DENLY, his superintendent, Mr..
Perella, his foreman, with the last of
his gang of laborers.
Last but not least, Mr.. Tudor, a
wealthy capitalist, scientific mining
expert of rare ability and wide ,exper-
fence from Boston.
To each one the sound of that whis-
tie awakened different emotion.
To the foreman and his men, that
they had lost a good situation, what
they hoped might have continued for
years.
To Mr.. DENLY, that his connection
with great enterprise which he had
firmly hoped would stand in the front
ranks of Alaska, if not in the world,
had come to an end.
Mr.. Tudor, backed by Boston philos-
ophy and culture was bordering on the
mutibility of all things earthly and of
Alaska in particular. And last we
will say something of Mr.. Elmer, a
man who is noted for his business abil-
ity and financial success, throughout
Southeastern Alaska, man who has
taken up the failures of others and
made them marked successes. He took
up this Windham Bay mining country
in 1894. He has spent his time and
money; he has brought to bear the
scientific and practical searchlight of
modern mining knowledge. He,poured
out money like water to develop the
country and to guard against any
possible financial failure in the future
and from the evidence he gathered in
all these years from 1894 to 1900, every
thing went to show that it was good
and safe part of the country for people
to invest their money.
The Windham Bay Gold Mining Co.
was formed; tram road of about
mile in length was built at great ex-
pense to tide water. A No. l stamp
mill of ten stamps was put in; two of
the best concentrators with all the
modern appliances run by splendid
water power, and with rock that milled
over $4,000 per ton, it appeared as if it
was the ideal mining camp of Alaska.
Everything was so fiattering that the
management decided to put in 30
stamps more;cleared the foundation for

READY FOR EXHIBITORS.
The State Fair Grounds Open and
Officers Take Charge.

The state fair grounds are ready for ex-
hibitors and some of them are already there
preparing for the annual exhibition, which
begins next Monday. President ]. E. Nc
Donald, Secretary Charles Downing and
other members of the State Board of Agri-
culture have opened their offices at the
grounds to remain until the end of the fair
The barns are ready for the live stock, the
track is in condition for the trotters and
PAGERS to do their preliminary training and
the buildings and paViliOns have been made
ready by Superintendent T.. II. Peed and a
force of helpers. The stand where SouSa' s
band is to give its concerts Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons and evenings has been
erected. 1t is between the grand stand and
the race track. The stand is 30x40 fest. 1t
is to be Illuminated at night and during the
concerts carriages viii be admitted to the
race course and infield. With the seating
capacity of the grand stand and the room
for carriages the fair management thinks it
can make $1,000 or 10000 people comfortable
within easy hearing of the band.
In some departments of the fair there are
enough exhibits entered for two state fairs,
and as soon as they reach the grounds to-
day the superintendent will begin the task
of allotting the space. The number of
heavy horses that are to appear in the prize
ring will more than fill the space in the
barns allotted to them. The number of
swine that will appear at the fair is con-
siderably larger than last year, when the
pens were filled as they had never been be-
fore.
