WHITE MANS WHISKEY.

San Francisco, Cal. Nov. Thou
sands of the-natives of Herschel Island
and along the Arctic Coast are dying
from measles. The news was brought
by the whaling steamer, Jeanette,
which arrived recently from whaling
cruise. Captain Newth, of the jean
cite, said:
SAT least 25 per cent of the natives
along the Arctic Coast have died from
the measles. They are dying off like
rabbits and there seems to be nothing
to check the death rate The march
of civilization has increased the death
rate from Nome north. Two years
ago the devastation began, and it has
continued since. When the natives
began to wear civilized mans cloth
ing and drink white mans whiskey,
then began their decline. Diseases
unheard of attacked them and not
knowing how to care for themselves,
the people died rapidly. Pneumonia,
rheumatism, grip and every conceiva-
BILE malady made their appearance
among them and spread along the
coast with appalling results.

BANKRUPTCY ACT UPHELD.
Supreme Court of the United States
Rules That the Law is
Constitutional.

Washington, D. c., June 3.-The SUI
preme court today decided that the ma
tional bankruptcy law was constitution
al. The proceeding was instituted by
the Hanover National bank against
Max Moyes in the circuit court of the
Eastern district of Tennessee on a judg-
ment against him. The court says that
the validity of the bankruptcy law must
be uniform throughout the United
States, and further that it is uniform,
when the trustee takes in each state
whatever would have been available to
the creditors if the bankruptcy law had
not been passed" The court added:
THE general operation of the law is
uniform, although it may result in GER
tain particulars differently in different
states" 1t also said: Congress may
prescribe any regulations concerning
discharge in bankruptcy not so grossly
unreasonable as to be incompatible
with the fundamental law, and we can
not find anything in this act on that
subject which would justify us in over
throwing it's action"

OBEY THE ORDER TO STRIKE.
Engineers, Firemen and Pump Run
ners in Anthracite Mines
Go Out.

W~ilkesbarre, Pa, June 3.-The order
calling out the engineers, firemen and
pumpmen went into effect today. and
the majority of the men obeyed. Meth
SIDE can claim a victory at this time,
because the struggle at this phase of
the miners strike has just opened.
There was only a partial showing
streSgtn today. The real test will be-
gin tomorrow.
Although the majority of the men
quit work, the companies, generally
speaking, succeeded in keeping the
pumps in operation. The operators feel
that at the present they have advan-
tage, but they are not so sanguine of
the future. The exact number of men
who quit today cannot be obtained.
Each side refuses to make public their
figures, but gave out information that
roughly esteimated the number affected.
These estimates are far apart.
At noon President Mitchell issued a
statement saying reports have been re-
ceived from every precinct in the min
ing community indicate that where the
S-hour day has not been conceded fully
$50 Per cent of the firemen, pumpmen,
and engineers have ceased work. In
some places the 1oremen have been re-
quired to perform this labor. There has
been no disturbances of any kind to-
day. Mitchell said he knows of mines
being flooded as a result of the strike.

Scene in the Commons.

London, June 3.-Not in years had
the house of commons commencement
been so thronged with such a brilliant
and enthusiastic audience as when Mr..
Balfour announced this afternoon tn at
the peace terms had been concluded
with the Beers. An hour before the
house met a large crowd on Whitehall
vociferously cheered notable politicians
and particularly Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain and A. ]. Balfour, who re-
ceived great ovations as they walked to
their seats.
Amid breathless silence, broken a few
seconds later by applause such as the
hous of m seldom heard, Mr..
Balfour announced the terms on which
the war had ended. Reference to the
Beers acknowledging King Edward as
their sovereign made the hit of the
day.
AS the liberality of the terms grew
palmer, the cheers on the government
side diminished, while the opposition's
satisfaction preposterously increased.
Through all this the Irish members
sat impressive, though, earlier in the af-
ternoon, they had startled the house by
a demonstration which at first was
thought to be in honor of peace, but
which, it was soon discovered, was
caused by the temperance in the house
Of William Redmond, who has just re
turned from the United States.

London Press Comment.

London, June 3.-Judging from the
opinions of public men and the edi-
torials of London newspapers, the
terms of peace appear to meet with ap-
prevail on all sides, but the extremists
of both the lingo and pro-Boer parties
find something to cavil at.
The Chronicle this morning Y
"The close of the war has converted us
all to ~pro-Boerism. England, as a whole
has taken her triumph as she took her
disaster, with sobriety and discretion,
which should help our former enemies
over the remaining rough place to a
lasting friendship. The government up
on the diplomatic achievement, of
which every detail stands out in soli-
tary contrast to its past record blunders
and confusion"
The Mail and Telegraph, lingo or
gans, both express unbounded s~atisfac-
ton with the peace terms. The former
only complains that no wal tax is to be
levied on the conquered territories"
which means, says the Mail, that the
Uitlanoers who suffered so much will
have to pay the bill, so far as it is
paid"
The Times says: "The terms of
peace are excellent in all respect. While
generous to the Beers on all points
where liberality cannot prejudice our
common interests. they contain ample
security for the stability and perma-
nency OF the settlement which we have
attained at so great a cost"

PEER INTO CRATER'S MOUTH.
Gaze into Yawning Abyss
of Destruction.

Fort de France, June 4.-George
KEENAN,, accompanied by Messrs. JAG
caci and Varian, arrived this morning
after an absence of II days. With Prof.
Heilprin, KEENAN, and Varian assembled
Mont Pelee. They stood on the very
edge of the crater and looked down on
the incandescent mass within.
In an interview KEENAN, said: I'VE
could not see down into the crater more
than $50 feet; it was like looking into
a white hot furnace. What was thought
TO be a cone of cinders in the crater
was learned in reality to be a huge pile
of gigantic rocks. The whole, vast bed
of the old crater and Lake Palmiste is
emitting a steam through thousands of
o%rifices.
THE ascent was the most terrifying
experience of my life, yet Prof. He'll
prin, the previous day. mad sat envel-
oped in darkness on the lip of what was
one Lake Palmiste and had descended
the horrible area in a thunderstorm of
volcanic clouds and almost complete
darkness"
KEENAN, then went into details of the
trip, describing the great explosion of
May % and that of the 2Sth. On the
Goth they nearly lost each other in the
dense volcanic clouds. Following this
incident he tells of his experience in
climbing to the crater.
Mont Pelee is quiet today, but great
volumes of steam are issuing from the
volcano. The lower mud craters, how
ever, are still pouring forth streams of
lava.

COMPLETING A GREAT WORK.
German Sculptor Putting Finishing
Touches on Statue in Construc-
ton Fifteen Years.

St. Louis, June 4.-The celebrated
German sculptor, Max Klinges, is just
putting the finishing touches to a
statue of the great composer. Bee
thosen, on which he has been at work
fifteen years. Beethoven is represent
ca in white marble. seated on a throne
of guided bronze, decorated with bas
~reliefs of Adam and Eve, Tantalus,
A~phrodite and the C~ruciixion. A huge
majestic eagle in black marble poses
al the foot of the statue with out
spread wings. The impression this
elaborate polychrone monument pro-
duces is magnificent. 1t is to be first
exhibited at Vienna on the seventy
fifth anniversary of the death of the
great composer. Then, if the efforts of
Joseph Brucker, Worlds Fair Commits
sioner for Germany, are successful, the
statue will be brought to st. Louis for
exhibition in 1904, and possibly to
find a permanent home in that portion
of Forest park where the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition buildings are now
rising in noble proportions.

SPEAKS FOR THE SOLDIERS.
Assistant Adjutant General Testifes
That Filipinos Were Kinly
Treated by Troops.

Washington, D. c., June Col
onel Wagner, assistant adjutant gen.
eral, U. S. A. and formerly adjutant Of
the army in the Philippines today
continued his testimony before the SEN
ate Philippine committee. He said he
knew that one village has been burned
because the villagers would not give up
the murderers of a friendly native to-
the United States. He gave a fine char
acter to General Bell as a humane Off
Ger. He said the conduct of Americans
in the Philippines had been uniformly
kind and considerate to the natives in
prison. Col. Wagner did not agree with
General Hughes that the war in the
Philippines was not civilized war. He
said that in the provinces commanded
by General Bell about 100. 900 people
were gathered in the concentration
camps. Their property left out the
company was confscated and the,
wealthy people lost heavily. He did not
believe that any camp described by an
anonymous officer as a Suburb of HELP
ever existed.

BORAX EFFECTS ARE BAD.
Decision of German Experts Relative
to Its Action on the
Human System.

Berlin, June 3~.-Experts attached to
the imperial health office have pub
lished a bulky pamphlet giving the re-
suits of their protracted experiments
to determine the effect of borax upon
the human system. The tests were
made upon four men and were carried
on for two years. According to the
pamphlet, the tests have proved that
the boraX in the human system re-
tards the assimilation of albumen and
fats and interferes with the renewal
of tissues. A single dose Of borax re-
mains in a mans body for eight days.
The continued use of boraX, even in
small quantities, causes an excessive
loss of liquids and a decrease in weight
without increasing the subjects thirst
and hunger. In some cases, the experts
declare, these phenomena assumed a
threatening aspect.

They Experience Great Difficulty in

Chicago, June 4.-The police were

were kept busy. In spite of the strik-
ers and their friends, SO wagon loads
of meat were delivered to the down
town stations. Before the task was
accomplished, however, a score of po-
licemen and rioters were injured and
fully 90 persons were arrested. Several
were so seriously injured that they
were taken to hospitals. Two may die.
To add to the policemen's troubles
1900 drivers and helpers employed by
the State street department stores
went on a strike today. The attempt
to deliver goods this afternoon with
non-union drivers under police protec-
ton caused so much disorder that the
attempt proved futile. Before the pro-
ject was abandoned several rioters
were hurt and many arrests made.

FAV0RS THE NEW BUREAU.
House Committee Takes Action To-
ward Creation of Proposed De-
partment of Commerce.

Washington, D. c., June 4.-The
house committee on TO-DAY
took action which insures a favorable
report on the Wilson bill, creating a
department of commerce. The bill was
pending for some time, and today Rep
resentative Stewart of New Jersey,
tested the sentiment of the committee
by moving that there was no present
demand for the measure. Representa-
tive Mann of Illinois offered an amend
ment favorable to consideration and
report on the bill. The amendment car
ried by a vote of 7 to 4, and the COM
mittee proceeded to perfect the meas
ure. AS it came from the senate, it pro-
vided for a department of commerce
and labor. By a vote of 8 to 4 the pro-
visions as to the labor branch were
struck out, limiting the new depart
ment to commerce.
