Five Thousand Miners Ready to
Strike the First Blow for the Free
dom of the Great Northwest.
RINGLEADERs ARE AMERICANS
PLOT is SAID TO EXIST IN SKAGWAY,
DAWSON AND SEATTLE.
Vancouver and Victoria Also In
voIved-Oficia1s of the Powers
Hold "a Hasty Conference.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-THE Call to-
day prints an unconfrmed story from
Skagway, Alaska, under date of Nov. 6,
telling of the discovery of what is alleged
to be huge conspiracy existing in Daw-
son and extending to Skagway. Victoria.
Vancouver and Seattle for the overthrow
of the local government of the Northwest
Territory and the establishing of a repub-
lie, with Dawson as its capital. According
to the details of the story, arms, ammuni-
tion and provisions have been taken in over
the railroad and cached at strategic points.
Prominent American residents of Skagway
are said to be ringleaders in the conspira-
cy. Miners to the number of 5000 are said
to await the summons to arms, ready to
fight for independence from Dominion rule
or 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 winters would give the
insurgents six months immunity from at
tack by Canadian or British troops, and
the adventurous arch conspirators hope for
Intervention or outside assistance by the
time the melting of ice and snow will per-
nit the invasion of their isolated republic.
1t is further related that hurried con-
ference, lasting until midnight, was held
at Skagway Nov. 5, at which there were
present Captain Corrigan, of the Northwest
mounted police, who had arrived from
across the Canadian border late that even
ing; Judge Brown, of the United States
District Court; United States Marshal
Shoupe, United States Attorney Frederick
and Major Hovey, commanding the United
States troops at Skagway. This was the
last of several hasty consultations between
the civil and military representatives of
the two powers in relation to the mysteri-
Gus transportation of supplies into the in
terror and rumors of conspiracy to lead
the miners in revolt against Canadian
government in the Northwest Territory.
Those present maintained subsequently the
strictest silence concerning the new evil
dence laid before them, and their evident
anxiety helped to confirm the rumors of
conspiracy.
Captain Corrigan took train back across
the border the next morning. while United
States Marshal Shoupe embarked on the
first steamer for Seattle, which port he
reached several days ago. The object of
his visit was, presumably, to confer by
telegraph with the authorities at Wash
ington
He sailed yesterday afternoon on the DOL
phin, on his way back to Skagway.

CUSTOMS IN THE WAY.
Delivery of Rife Trophy to Cana
dians Temporarily Blocked.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Brigadier General
Bird w. Spencer. president of the National
Rife Association of America, and the sec
retary, Lieut.. Albert S. Jones, are in COM
munication with the customs authorities
of the Dominion of Canada endeavoring TO
deliver the Palma trophy which the Cana
dian marksmen won at the rifle shooting
tournament which was held at Sea Girt last
September.
For some reason the Canadian authori-
ties cannot see their way to admit the
trophy, and, while General Spencer and
all the other American marksmen are re-
luctant to lose the prize. which is emblem
attic Of the international team champion
ship, they are more than anxious to deliver
1t to the Canadian shooters who SO cleverly
won it. General Spencer said to-day that
he had no doubt that the Canadian customs
officers would surely find loophole
through which the emblem could be ad-
mitted to the Canadian Dominion.

First. Kiaochow and Port Arthur

Second. Russia will not insist upon
there being a Russian resident at

Third. The Chinese army will be per-

| The Chinese Minister at st. Petersburg
thinks the notifications are satisfac-

refuse to recommend the ratification OF
the convention. Viceroy Liu Kun VI
also strongly protests against it's rati-

Ii Hung Chang looks with favor or

the powers. These comprise, first, q

FREE SPEECH.

The right of free speech at Stanford
university of California is thing of the
past Last fall, 1t will be remembered
Prof. Ross was compelled to resign be-
cause in a public address he had at
tackled the management of a street
railroad and other corporations in
which Mrs. Stanford is interested. on
the day following Prof Rosss forced
retirement from the chair of economies.
Prof. Howard, head of the history de-
partment and one of the most popular
and abest of the faculty, severely
scored this attempt to down free speech
in an address to his class. He said:
Il do not worship Market street
do not reverence holy Standard oil, nor
do l doff my hat to the Celestial Six
Companies" His friends feared then
that when Mrs. Stanford, now in
Switzerland, heard of it, she would de-
mard Prof. Howard's resignation also.
Their fears have been justified. Prof
Howard has had the choice of Offering
a public apology or resigning, and has
promptly resigned. Blows like these
at the repute and. influence of the uni
versity are beyond the power of wealth
to repair.-Springfield Republican.

turning from South Africa to the Phil

towns alone are in possession Of the
Americans, and adds:
1t is a situation which sounds fami-

TO be hintir at the possibility of a
settlement, but since then there has
been no talk of anything but the iron
hand. Here --ain we seem to be tread

government do now? Will they adopt
the sensible policy of Mr., Bryan and
give the Filipinos some form of self
government? The whole world is con-
cerned in the reply. We fully believe
that the Americans are thoroughly
tired of war, and that hut for the silver

HIS IDEAS BRoADENED.
Robert Wilcox is Said to Have Turned
Republican.

If reports are correct, and there is
not now apparent any reason to doubt
them, there may be a political uphea-
val in the Home Rule ranks as soon as
Delegate Robert Wilcox gets his sea
legs off. Mr.. Wilcox was talked to-
in Washington. He was shown that an
Independent party was like washing
machine with the machine left out. At
first he did not see through the matter,
but eventually the argument opened out
before him. 1t is stated that he left
Washington with the fixed idea that
the immediate destiny of the Home
Rule party was in one of the national
parties, and that that party was the
Republican party.
Mr.. Wilcox will advise his party to
drop the erratic Legislation and to get
down to business with the conservative
members of the Republican minority.
The watch word will be good of the
whole country" in place of good of the
party"
After Mr.. Wilcox returns to Wash
ington in May he will go with his fam
lily TO the Atlantic sea board for a
time during the hot weather, going Ia
Washington for the next session of
Congress, beginning in December.
