 may remember arrived in Nome June p last, having completed journey overland from Paris through Siberia. The journey was made in the interests of the London Daily Express. Through the courtesy of Mr. John Bar ton, THE NUGGET is enabled to repub- fish Mir. De Windt's impressions Of Nome, taken from copy of the Daily Express of August 2S. Mr. De Windt $ letter was written from Nome and while it will not be found at all compllment- ary to Nome and its institutions, still it makes Interesting readins.' Mr. De Wiadt says in part:
 Like most Alaskan "cities,' Nome is entirely built of wood and corrugated iron. It contains, in winter, some LOCO souls, increased to at least twice that number Tn the summer months. There are many large public and private buildings, wooden streets and pave ments throughout, and the place has a certain roughish originality that is not without it's charm. Five years ago the spot now occupied by Nome City WIS an Arctic wilderness.
 "The first log-hut was built in the winter of 1898, and two years later 20,- 900 people had ''stampeded' here in teverish quest of the gold that then lay thickly on the seashore.
 Nome is now a civilized town in ev cry sense of the word, with hotels, shops, churches, telephones, electric light, and even q railway to some of the adjacent creeks. There are three newspapers of q decidedly "yellow" order one of which, at least, is run by resourceful mind, for on the afternoon of our arrival it contained d well known

 "But, repeat. Nome is no poor mans "Eldorado." Besides, nearly every available mile of country from Norton sound to the Arctic ocean has now been stakcd out. American missionaries have not been behind hand in the race for wealth, and the following lines by disappointed Klordiker are not with out humor:
 Then we climbed the cold creeks near a

 That is run by the agents of God, Who trade bibles and prayer-books to heather
 For ivory, sealskins and cod.
 At last we were sure we had struck it, But, alas! for our hope of reward, The landscape from seabeach to six yline Was staked lin the name of the Lord. y "I have here learned details of the disaster which occurred early in June to the steamers Jeanie and Portland of which the Thetls has gone in search. These vessels were trying to make the first "record trip" north, and carried some of the richest people in Nome, who habitually winter in California. There are many ladies and children among the POO odd passengers. As the ships (which were from San Francsco) neared Nome, dense fog came down, and they drifted past the entrance to the bay When the weather cleared both steamers were hopelessly jammed | in the pack, and drifting rapidly through Boring straits towards the Arctic ocean, propelled by many miles of solid ice. Faint hopes are enter tained of their rescue. and the ultimate fate of the unfortunrte people on board is too terrible to contemplate. The Portland and Jeanie were stOutly built seaworthy vessels, but quite unfit tC withstand the enormous ice pressure which they have probably already ex perienced.
 "Catastrophes at sea are only too common here. and interruptions ship owners in San Francisco are yearly re sponsible for many lives. There arc small steamers now lying in the harbo which have braved the stormy Berin. sea to reach this place, but in which would not willingly navigate the Ser pentine.''

 "Altogether, Nome is a busy, bustling place, with a sensation of perpetual un- rest that impressed it on ny mind as a kind of squalid Monte Carlo. People wander aimlessly about the streets, eternally discussing quartz and placer claims and recent "strikes. which here form the sole topic of conversation, like 8 run on zero or the cards at Monaco. Port Said is also suggested by the dusty, fashy streets and cosmopolitan crowd; also the fact that gambling saloons, and even shops, remain open all night, or so long as customers are stirring.

THE PUBLIC FUNDS
APPROPRIATIONS THIS SESSION
PROBABLY LESS THAN LAST.
Results Of the Natural Growth of the
Government Shown by the
Annual Budget.

The appropriations to be made by Con-
gress at the present session do not threaten
10 exceed the appropriations of the last ses-
Sion. but. on the contrary. probably. will fall
few million dollars short. The appropria-
tons made at the last session of Congress
amounted To sI3O.0o0oo0 and included no
river and harbor bill. A river and harbor bill
carrying direct appropriation of SO 600 900
will he passed this session. The total ap-
Preparations OF this session including that
bill will probab bly, be s750.OO0OOO
Thus If the river and harbor bill had been
passed al the last session the total would
have been $3.50 0e.o 900 preventing therefore,
the contrast with the probable appropria-
tons Of this session favorable to the pres
ent Congress
The appropria lions for 1898 made at the
last session of the fifty-fourth Congress
amounted to S4SJ.0v0.eO, that being the la st
hscal year before the beginning of the Span
1Sh-Amer!can war. The following year, which
covered the substantial expenses for prose-
cutting that war. the approprat lions amount
ed TO SN4.NO.OO In lSttS the army bill

Ing fiscal year the bill will probably carry
s9e.0t.eD The naval bill for the year 1888
appropriated S3o09o0o and the naval bill
OF this session will carry probably $4,000

The appropriations of this Congress are
due to the natural growth OF the govern

Agreement Reached by Master Build.
ers and Labor Union.

At meeting of the executive board OF
the Master Builders Association and the
executive committee of the Central Labor
Union. held last evening. an agreement was
reached by which all workmen affected by
the lockout instituted last Tuesday by the
former organization will return to work
next Monday morning. 1t is stated that
the builders agreed to suspend the lockout
for two weeks pending the adjustment of
the present difficulties, and that the COM
mittee representing the Central Labor
Union agreed to have those workmen who
abandoned their positions last Saturday
return to work 1t is said that both the
locked-out men and those who walked out
will resume their duties Monday.
President Richardson of the Master
Builders Association said this afternoon
that IL the present troubles are not ad-
justed within the limited time the organ
ization will take other action with regard
to protecting the interests Of the members
of the organization.
The previous reports to the effect that the
Journeymen painters of this city were af-
fected by the lockout is denied today in a
statement issued by the painters In which
they say that the employers and employees
in that trade are in perfect accord
The statement reads: Last March the
Master Painters and Decorators Associa-
ton. comprising nearly all the employing
painters OF the city. made contract with
the Brotherhood OF Painters and Decora-
tors, which organization numbers in its
ranks nearly all the journeymen, which
provides that any controversy arising shall
be referred to an arbitration committee
consisting of three representatives of each
body. According to the contract the men
cannot go on q strike nor can the employ
ers lock them out. 1t is this contract that
has prevented troubles in the painting
trade during the recent disturbances In the
building trades"
