Falls. fully 2,OO0 potash claims have been filed within the past few months he said. and as this involves an out lay of S100 per year for each claim in order to hold it, the amount of money to be expended in Lake county for this one purpose along will be very large. The potash is found in the beds of dry lakes and is useful in the manufacture of borax and sal soda.
 That portion of Oregon by right is tributary to Portland. but has very little connection with this city. All its enormous products in live stock and wool are marketed in California. and the bulk of it's supplies are purchased in San Francisco. We should have tapped the territory from the north long ago and thus have given the peo- pie an outlet by way Of the O. R. X N. If the Columbia Southern railroad were extended from Shaniko south it would have brought the trade this way, but the road building in toward Lakeview from Reno will divorce that country to oPrtland forever. The temporary terminus is being moved northward al most daily, and is now within 100 Tniles of Lakevew."

JACKSONVILLE RACE TROUBLE
Negroes Try to Stop the Operation of
 Street Cars.

Jacksonville, Fla. Nov. 16.-Jackson- vile is threatened with race trouble as the result of the recent passage of an ordinance requiring separate seats in street cars for whites and blacks. and clothing conductors with police power to enforce this regulation. The ordinance was passed amid q storm of protest from the colored people. who held mass meeting the next night and resolved to boycott the street car sys- tenn as a means of showing their indig- nation. Since then, though the ordi- nance has not yet been signed by the mayor, there have been few colorei passengers on the street cars. Late last night the riotous element among the negroes attempted to interfere with the progress of the street cars by a display of rowdyism. In Fairfield suburb car was fired into from ambush and two shots crashed through the windows, narrowly missing the conductor. In Oakland suburb a crowd of negroes gathered near the terminus of the line and conductors were threatened. Policemen were sent 10 the scene A negro cursed the motorman of a car as it stopped at a switch and the motorman used his controller handle as a weapon. Thereupon five shots were fred at the car. with no iuury. The street ca people asked for policemen to be sent out with the cars. conductors not yet being clothed with police pow org

OIL IN THE FAR NORTH.
Expert Going to Skagway to Investi-
 gate Reported Indications.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-J. NJ. Me Creery, an oil magnate of Pittsburg. Pa, in letter to his nephew, J. NJ. Diven of Skagway, has announced that he will send an expert to Skagway to investigate and report on that region from an oil-producing standpoint. The writer states that on account of the ground freezing and not being soft until so late in the spring the expert would be sent north immediately in crder that a test might be made before the freeze-up. Thus plans could be laid this winter for the development, if re- ports proved satisfactory, early next summer.
 For some time the existence of oil in the Skagway valley has formed a firm belief in the minds of many. On the railroad track along the bluff and in the land near Eighth avenue, in Skag way. running along the ravine, oil has been seen. It formed on both sides of the swamp water, sluggish blue. dark and heavy.
 When the oil wells of Cook inlet were first talked of and an examina ton made the Klondike rush had set in through Skagway. The experts sent to Cook inlet went to Ska gway and stopped for several weeks, as old timers well know. At that time the probable existence of oil in the valley was noted. Along the river oil stone was found in several places and it is undoubtedly these reports renewed that have made MT. McCreery anxious to see if there was any truth in them.

THE ISTHMIAN CANAL
Will be Built if it Encounters no Oth- CT Obstacle Than That Embodied iu the Former Objectionable Treaty-Lord Pauncefote's Sigma ture to the New Convention was Authorized on His Return to the United States.

London. Nov. l6-SO far as the Brit ish government is concerned, all that remains to be done in connection with the isthmian canal is for Lord Paunce- tote and Secretary of State Hay to affix their signatures to the treaty. Such minor suggestions as ensued after the British ambassadors arrival in Wash ington have been disposed of and the foreign office awaits the news of the signing of the convention. though ii has not received any intimation as to when this is likely to occur.
 No draft of the treaty has been cabled here for the good reason that the document is safely locked away in the foreign office files. where it has been since prior to Lord Pauncefots departure from this country. The am bassador was empowered to sign it on behalf of Great Britain the first day he arrived in the United States if such 2 course seemed to him advisable
 He is acting with full power. and the officials have presumed that he is only awaiting the convenience of the state department at Washington.

DIscRED1r SOFIA DISPATCH.
Doesn't Believe Dickinson Threatened
 Bulgaria.

Washington. Nov. 16-The state de- partment is disposed to discredit the dispatches purporting 70 come from Sofia. Bulgaria, stating that Agent Dickinson, acting for this government, has advised the Bulgarian govern ment that it will be held accountable for any ill-consequences of the with drawal Of Bulgaria's assistance in the attempt to rescue Miss Stone. The brigands. 1t is reported in these dis patches. threaten to kill Miss Stone the moment they have the ransom money in hand.
 If this country takes energetic ac- tion in the matter. in the way of re- taliation, it would hardly expect to get satisfaction from Bulgaria. It would strike a the suzerain of Bull garia. Turkey. Bulgaria could not be reached by the United States in any way; who would have. therefore, to move against Turkey. Turkey cannot afford to take action against Bulgaria. for her attempt to do so brought on the war with Russia and loss of ter ritory, prestige and treasure. She would not risk such a peril again. Bui- garia would. therefore. escape punish ment and Turkey would receive it vii cariOuSly.

BLOCKADE OF CARS IN TEXAS
Held Until the Mexican Duty O
 Wheat Is Taken Off.

Austin, Tex. Nov. 16.-There is q blockade of cars loaded with wheat at Laredo and Eagle Pass. On Nov. l the Mexican government issued an official decree removing temporarily the duty on wheat imported into that country. This decree becomes effective Nov. 10, and several hundred cars of wheat were on their way to Mexico from Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota be- fore news of the removal of the duty was made public.
 When the shippers heard of it they ordered the cars held at the border points until the decree became effec tive. As a result of the order there are l5O cars at Laredo and a large number at Eagle Pass and Fl Paso. with many more arriving each day. It is esti mated that not less than 5000 cars of wheat will be shipped into Mexico from the United States in the next few weeks.

ULTIMATE PURPOSE
Of the Chinese Relieved to be to Find Their Way Back to the United States-The Ruling of the Immi- grafton Authorities will not be Interfered With by Washington. A Restrictive Experiment.

Washington. Nov. 16.-In the cases of eighty or more Chinese who re- gently arrived at San Francisco en- route to Mexico. and who were re fused permission to proceed by the inn migration authorities at San Fran cisco. on the ground that their ulti- mate purpose was to cross the MeXi- can border into the United States. contrary to the law, the treasury de partment will instruct the collector that the solicitor of the treasury has held that there is no appeal to the de partment in such cases. therefore, his adverse action will stand. The mat ter was referred to the attorney gen eral. who declines to give an opinion. on the ground that the cases are now before the courts.
 The department takes a firm stand against permitting Chinese to cross the United States into Mexico. as investi- gation has disclosed the fact that nearly all of them recross the border into this country. The long border line makes it almost impossible to pa trol the territory to prevent this The officials propose to see what virtue there may be in refusing them permis- sion to land on American soil for any purpose whatsoever.

FRISCO WONDERING
Whether or Not It Was Buncoed on
 Friday Night.

San Francisco. Nov. 16.-The town is talking of the Jenries- -Ruhlin fight last night. The men who paid s32. .OOO into the box office to see the Tignt are of various opinions as to whether they were buncoed. Ruhlin was pitifuIly outclassed and it looks like an arrange ment whereby Jeffries got a lot of easy money and Ruhlin took q beating for the losers end of the purse.
 IL was demonstrated that Ruhlin is not in the championship class. Jeffries had little opportunity to show what he could do. He was in fine condition and made no attempt to avoid RuhIin's taps. but took them, waded in all tn. time and apparently could have ended the fight in the first round. Next month Jeffries and Sharkey meet in this city.

A VANISHING RACE.
The Natives of Western Alaska Dying
 of Measles.

Port Townsend. Wash. Nov. 1G- Dunlap Moore. assistant surgeon of the United States quarantine service. who has been stationed at Nome. arrived here today He confirms the report that the natives of Western Alaska are rapidly disappearing from the ef- fleets of disease. He states that at least one-third of the native population of Cape Prince of Wales, Nome. Port Clarence. St. Michael. Kuskokim, Una laska. the Prybyloff islands, Nunivak island, the St. Lawrence island and those along the Yukon river have suf- fered from the effects of an epidemic which at first was thought to be small pox, but which proved to be measles.
 The epidemic of measles which caused so many deaths among the na- tives originated in Holy Cross in north eastern Siberia and from that point was carried by whalers to the coast of Alaska. Dr. Moore reports that the condition of the natives as being most pitible. There are cases of entire fam lilies of small children who have been left destitute, the mothers and fathers having succumbed to the disease. In some parts of Alaska the missionaries have established orphan asylums and are looking after orphans, but the ravages of the disease have extended over such q large area that it is i'm possible to gather up the large num- Der of motherless children.

VENEZUELAN CRISIS
Resignation of Dr. BIanco Full
 of Significance
It May Mean War With Colombia or it May Signify an Impending Revolution Against the Dictator ship of Castro.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The resigna ton of Dr. Eduardo Blanco as minister of foreign affairs in President Castros abinet is regarded here as an event of great significance. It may mean one of several possibilities. It may signify situation in Venezuela that means war with Colombia under some pretext or other; it may mean that Castro is get ting into closer touch with the Colom- bian rebels. which may lead to war near or later; or it may be the first step in a counter-revolution in Venezuela against President Castro.
 pr. Blanco is generally regarded here by diplomats and by the state de partment as the man of widest cosmo- politan outlook in public life in Neac- zuela today. His presence in the cabi- net of Castro made for peace at home and abroad. He is pacific in his nature and desires. and would not, it is be- lieved, take any step that would plunge his country into war, unless such a step were absolutely necessary to pre- serve the nations honor or territory. He urged the reconciliation of his country with the Colombian govern ment, which Castro opposes because of it's clerical character
 President Castros curt reply to the offer of mediation on the part of Chili angcred and chasrined Blanco. who hoped for better and friendlier reld- tions between the two countries. He saw all his hopes. with which and for which, indeed. he had entered the cabi net of Castro. shattered at once, and resigned.
 Venezuela is ripe for another revolu- ton, and il is feared here that Blanco's action may lead up to one. if it is not the preliminary movement in q general uprising against the dictator of Car acas. While it is not believed that Blanco would himself throw the first torch among the inhammable populace. it is thought very probable that revo- lutionary forces behind him have prac- tically impelled his actions.
 The more peace-abidinE element in Venezuela believes that Castro is too deeply committed to the rebels in Co., lombia to make the avoidance of war with the legitimate government of that country possible unless he is removed from the presidency. They see that the best. as it has been the usual. way to accomplish their ends is to depose the president. The retirement Of Dr. Blanco may. therefore, be the first step in another revolution. which would end in the overthrow of Castro and in the guarantee of security to the present government of Colombia.

CLOVER LEAF DOES WE'LL.
Railroad Prospers Under Its New
 Management.

St Louis Nov. 10.-President Norton has submitted his first annual report for the Toledo, St. Louis X Western. or Clover Leaf road The property, em- bracing 451 miles of road. was turne over to the company. after q receiver ship of more than seven years, on July 31, 1900. The statement shows an in crease in the gross earnings of 2S.35 per cent and in the net earnings of S2.O5 per cent. the ration of operating expenses to gross earnings being 12.2I per cent for the late year as against SO.45 per cent in 1S99-l9OO.
 The results in the transportation de partment for the year have not been as satisfaction as might have been wished, owing to the fact that the en . zines were entirely inadequate to han dle the large increase in business 1t was only during the last six weeks of the year that the management was able to derive any appreciable benefit from the new power purchased, deliveries of the same having been delayed by the locomotive builders.
