WALKED FOR DEAR LIFE.
An Alaska Prospector,s rhree-Da,

An Alaska Prospector's Three-Days
 Tramp to Keep From Sleeping.
 Tacoma, Wash. April 19,-One of the most thrilling experiences which has ever befallen a hardy prospector in the frozen wilds of Alaska and the British Yukon befell Gus Thompson on an ex-
 ploring expedition from which he re
 turned to Dawson only three weeks ago. Foodless and sleepless Thompson three days and three nights in order tc save himself from freezing to death This is his story:
 Tt is harder to do without sleep in a cold country like this than anywhere ever lived. Dave Jorden, Selby Jorden and I have been prospecting on one of the side streams one hundred miles up White river, which we reach by cir cuitous route, starting from West Daw- son. Three weeks ago, just before the break in the winter weather, I and Sel- by came to town for grub, and Selby was taken sick. I was unable to secure any one to return with me, but as we had got the trail fairly well broken, did not hesitate to start out alone with a small sled load of provisions
 Three days out the snow had drifted until could drag the sled no more. I had the option then of taking my bed and bedding along or of packing some provisions. I chose the latter, under the mistaken idea that I could make it into camp on two forced marches, and sleep at a campfire. At the start next day I found I had to tighten again, and divided my pack. In loading up again I took the wrong bundle, leaving all my matches in the bundle under tree. It was not until night I discovered my mistake, and, as I thought 1t as near to the camp as to the cache, l determined not to go back, but to push on. It was not easy to keep the covered trail, and so I broke a path around a tree and walked around 1t all night. I struck out next day, lost the trail several times, and at night had made up my mind that I did not know how far it was to camp at all l had grown stu pid and did not recognize the land marks when I saw them or, at least, could not gauge distance or locality from them.
 T had an awful night walking around a tree that night. Several times l fell down from going to sleep walking. The shock of the fall would arouse me and I would start out again. I never had such q struggle in my life and think l was half delirious. Each time I fell I was tempted to stay down and sleep bit, but the love of life proved yet strong, and I hoped to tumble into camp early in the morning.
 'I don't know how far I went next day, for the recollection is all haze. It seems as if I walked year, nibbling occasionally at the frozen food in my pockets. Some pancakes I had put in my shirt to thaw probably saved my life, for I was able to walk all that day and all that night. That last night was terrible l worked sums in mental until found l was getting

 the military authorities are the supreme
 power and final arbter in the Philip pines. Are the American people, then, the freest people on this earth, the very l flower and chivalry of liberty, shooting | down Filipinos because Filipinos will
 not do what Americans want, while all
 the time Filipinos are endeavoring to
 ascertain, but cannot, what it is Ameri- cans do want? Are not your Oriental
 wards entitled to know how you intend
 to dispose of them before bidding you welcome to their homes? If we have no policy, let us say so and stop fight 1 ing. If we have a policy, let us say so, and it may end all fighting. But to
 keep an army of forty or fifty thousand American citizens in Asia to fight for no
 policy is at once foolish and wicked It is said officially that the fighting is over. But commanding officers agree with the best newspaper reporters that the Christian Filipinos are everywhere against us. And the war department has stated in confirmation of this situ- ation that the retention of a large army in the Philippines is indispensable. But if this be so. though the insurrec- ton may be ended, the archipelago is as full of our enemies as ever it was. You
 have governed them against their will;
 behold the result. Shall we make of the
 Philippines an American Ireand-an
 Ireland consumed with hatred for us, governed by coercion and bent on re- bellion?
 Thank God, there is a more excellent way. Drop coercion and try concilia- tion. Give the Fllipinos what they want, not what you think is good for them. Regard them not as Sioux or Apache Indians, but as Christianized and civilized brown men, ranking with the Japanese. General Otis said to the senate committee that they could. if we withdrew, at least maintain a military government and with the sedition law before you, can you say we are doing much better? Governor Taft is report ed as saying at New Haven that, if we conferred independence upon them, power would fall into the hands of the educated classes; but Is an intelligent oligarchy of Filipinos worse than an in telligent oligarchy of Americans?
 I was In Ireland last month when the cities of Dublin and Cork conferred their freedom upon the leader of the nationalist party, His speech on those occasions was printed in full in the newspapers, and one sentence of it still rings in my ears. There are" he said, "only two methods of government-that of freedom and that of force; and Ire land has shown for centuries that the latter is permanently impossible" The remedy for our Philippine ills is to sub- stitute a government by the consent of the Filipinos for a government by the coercion of the Filipinos.

SEVEN -YEAR-OLD BOY KILLED
Struck by Train in Highwood Yester-
 day


 Benjamin F. Cannon, a seven-year- old colored boy residing with his pa rents on Highland street, died at the New Haven hospital yesterday after noon about 8 o'clock of injuries receiv- ed by being struck by train near Moore street, in Highwood, yesterday morning.
 The child, with other children, was on the way to school. The other chill dren had crossed the tracks just ahead of him and he was hurrying to catch up with them.
 A switch engine had just passed and the boy started to run across the tracks behind that engine and ran directly in front of freight engine going in the opposite direction from the switcher.
 The injured boy was taken at once to the New Haven hospital, where it was found that his right leg was nearly crushed off just below the knee. Sev- eral ribs were broken on the right side and there were severe cuts on his head. Coroner Mix was Investigating the case yesterday afternoon and last evening, and will make a report to-day.

WHAT DO WE WANT OF THEM? !?
President Schurman Insists That we
 Ought to Tell the Filpinos.

President Schurman Insists That we Ought to Tell the F'ilipinos.
 What, I ask, do you want in the Phil ippines? More particularly why in any part of Luzon and the Visayan Islands are you making bowling wilderness and killing children over ten years of age? It will be said that these are the unhappy incidents of war, which is all ways stern affair, very different from the hollday-making into which civil ians would turn it. Be it so. Why, then, are we making war? Here are 6,500,000 fellow-C Christians of ours-the only Christian nation in Asia-as highly civilized as most of the people of Gen. tral and South America. What do we want of them? We have never told them. The treaty of Paris requires con- gress to determine the civil rights and political status of the inhabitants of the Philippines. Congress has been dumb. President Roosevelt, with his noble in
 stinct and straight-seeing statesman ship, declared that we were to prepare them for liberty after the fashion of the really free nations, The period of tute
 lage should be short because no nation can confer freedom upon another, and the most we can do for the Filipinos is to establish favorable conditions, and then endow them with independence. This implies doing in the Philippines what we have already done for Cuba, which this month is to start as an inde- pendent republic. But In the face of al fflipinos must be despotically governed, like India and Java, and that any one who advocates their independence should be sent to prison. Congress is silent, the military authorities whistle down the wind the humane and en- frightened policy of the president, and

BUSINESS IN CURACAO

 Curacao, D. w. l.,
 April z, 1902.
 Approaching this small Dutch island from the east, or south, you pass a series of tall, forbidding- looking cliffs, wild and barren as the heights that en- compass the African desert. They are the celebrated Phosphate hills, which have helped to make Hollands financial prosperity, and yet add an important item to Queen Wilhelmina's income. From base to summit they are said to consist of ninety-seven per cent. pure phosphate; but as a great deal more of this popular fertilizer can be taken out of them than the market will bear, they are mined nowadays only as con- venience suggests. Colossal fortunes have been made here-and untold for tunes yet lie concealed They bear the same relation to Holland that the ni- trate beds do to Chilli and the guano island to Peru-viz, an exhaustless source of revenue, making multi-mil- Iionaires of few private individuals, WIllle SlOWly DuI tOil0letiliJ iNh'iN'''iA ing the coffers of the mother country. Phosphate was first discovered in Curacao, about quarter of a century aga, by poor Cornish miner, ragged, bunsry and forlorn, who worked his way on an emigrant ship to the New World in the hope of bettering his con- dition. By sheer luck he came this way, caught sight of the cliffs and di- vises their value. Sensibly keeping his own counsil, he somehow, obtained from the Dutch government a refusal of all the waste land at it's disposal on the island. This he soon capitalized, and after the first exploration, 1eaped at once into the possession of immense wealth. Since that day the market has been many times temporarily glutted with Curacao phosphate; but the gov ernment continues to receive steady income of not less than five hundred thousand dollars per annum from the several companies that mine it. Before the phosphate discovery, Uncle Samuel might have had the Dutch West In- ldies as free gift, for coaling-station Or any other purpose, so little did Hol- land value them. Now, neither love or money could buy this island-to say nothing of it's dependencies, Saba, St. Eusta atfus and St. Martin. The richest phosphate mining in the world is on Curacoa, near a point called Santa Barbara, where tableland, two miles square at the base, rises 600 feet above the sea and is literally a solid bed of phosphate matter It Is now dumped into vessels from tramway, at the slow rate of one ship-load week. The shippers pay to the government a roy atty of six dollars ton, besides twelve dollars ton to the owners of the land and yet make a magnificent profit Most l of the phosphate goes to England; 1 while the solar salt-of which great l quantities are also taken from Curacoa goes to the United States. at the rate of not less than twenty thousand tons a year. Y It must be very trying to the thrifty | Dutchmen to see their phosphate rock, | so marvelously rich in the elements of |

Base Ball.

On Sunday last the Thibodaux
Team accompanied by number OF
their admirers journeyed to the Race
Track at LabadievilIe to once more
cross bats with the Plattenviile Team
for q purse of $4,000 and also to en-.
Joy the races which had been prepar
ell by the Bayou Lafonrche Central
Park Association for the occasion.
On account of it having rained
heavily nearly all the morning the
crowd in attendance was not very
large and up to late hour it was
uncertain whether their would be any
races a. the track was very heavy.
On this account the races which
were tn take place before the ball
game had to be postponed.
The Piattenville Team was already
on the grounds and as soon as the
home team arrived they proceeded TO
play ball.
The game which only lasted 7 in
nings, on account Of allowing the
Plattenville Team to catch the train
showed plainly that the boys from up
the bayou are not in it with the home
team
With the umpire making every de-
cision in their favor they could not
even get man across the plate aud
were beaten by score of 3 too.
Pierce pitched the first 6 innings
IN good shape and was we'll supported
by the whole team.
Gibbs pitched the last inning and
struck out two of the three men up.
Below is the official score.
