a Fake.

Dawson Stampeders Would Have

of the Stampde.
FOUND coLoRs ONLY

Dawson, March 4.-The White river
stampede was a pure fake. No gold
more than the merest colors was found
there, and the country is being aban-
doned as fast as the men can get out of
it. This is the verdict of party of -
old-Lime klOndikers who got back from
the White river stampede today. The
majority OF them arrived at the Elan
merry hotel in Dawson at noon. A few
put up at the Yukon.
The men unhesitatingly denounce
those who started the stampede, and
say that had the men who are response
BILE for the rush been in the district
when the stampeders were there, the
deceived aggregation would have taken
great pleasure in pulling the rope to
swing the guilty parties between earth
and sky. This, unequivocally, was the
declaration made by the returned men
in the Flannery hotel today in the pres
ence of several other witnesses.
The returned stampeders are as dis
gusted as the men who were duped last
summer into stampeding 300 miles up
the Pelly. The majority of the men
who returned today are hardy and piac-
tical miners right from the Klondike
creeks. They have returned, feeling
that the old camp is not SO bad after all.
The Montgomery outfit, of two and
one-half tons of supplies, which was
taken up the White river on sleighs
this winter, the returned stampeders
report, is not needed in the White river
district and is being freighted on the
snow 30 miles farther on, to the head
waters of the Tanana, where it will be
loaded on different craft in the summer
and sent down the river to Fairbanks
or some other point along the stream.

Liquor LEGISLATION.

Whisky Is a subject that will not
down in the legislature, although much
whisky has been put down since the
lawmakers met. New laws and amend
ments Of all sorts relating to the
liquor traffic have been offered in the
two houses, and the end is not yet in
sight. While the attempt is made to
secure constitutional prohibition, at
the same time a desire is manifest to
make the local option laws more
stringent in case the further move
ment should fail.
The latest of this kind to
be introduced is a bill by Mr.. Duncan,
prohibiting railroad or. express agents
from delivering packages Of liquor to
minors. whether the liquors were Or
dered shipped in the names of such
minors or the names of other persons.
While the object of this bill is doubt.
less commendable, 1t is easy to see
how it can be practically nullifled by
liquor dealers in case it should be
adopted, as very few liquor houses now
send out package goods bearing labels,
and an express or railroad agent could
not be clothed with authority to in
vestigate the contents Of each pack
age handled by him.

The Judiciary Divorce.

Senator Smiths bill seeking to "di-
vorce the judiciary from politics" is
the subject of much comment among
lawmakers, and the assertion has been
made that the proposed measure is I'M
constitutional on the ground that it
would be an abridgment of personal
liberty if enacted, especially that fea-
ture which prohibits members of the
judiciary from serving on campaign
committees or soliciting votes in aid of
any candidate. This opinion of the
bill has been expressed by n Of the
leading members of the judiciary. and
seems to be a rather general impress
ion concerning it. At the same time
it is not denied that the supreme and
circuit judges and cha1cellors should
keep their fingers out of politics, es-
pecially while the a%ppointive system
prevails in the State.

200 feet down the track from the point
of collision and being almost demol-
ished. Every city ambulance was hur-
ried to the scene. Seven of the in
jured were conveyed to hospitals and
Is were taken to the; homes. No one
was killed, though some of the in
jured are in a very secious condition
and may die.

Changing Court Terms.

By the time the present legislature
finishes its work it is probable that
the time Of holding the chancery and
circuit court terms of nearly every
county in the State will have been
changed. 1t seems impossible to make
a satisfactory arrangement of court
terms in Mississippi, as the law on
the subject is being continually tink.
cred with, but at this session it will
be imperative to make some changes,
owing to the strong likelihood of new
districts being created, especially in
the southern part Of the State. Some
Of the circuit judges and c%hancellors
in the northern part of the State be-
lieve that their court terms could be
more satisfactorily arranged, and bills
looking to this end will be introduced
next week.

Speaker Thomas Talks.

81 do not believe there has ever
been a legislative body which has been
organized and settled down to business
more promptly than this session of the
house." said Speaker Thomas during
a lull in the proceedings of the house
last week. 1.-The committees are all
at work, and l feel confident that we
will be able to keep up with the cal
endar.
"It is going to be a business ses-
sion of the legislature. l anticipate the
enactment of many good laws, and
prompt adjournment after the i'm
portant work is finished. Over 100
bills have been introduced, and with
in the next two or three days they
will be coming back from the commit
tee rooms for formal consideration. l
was especially pleased with the
promptness of the report on the edu-
cational bill.
"At every legislative session a low
pressure spirit is manifested by some
members, who are unfamiliar with the
workings of the various institutions,
and whose minds cannot at once grasp
and comprehend the large amount of
money required to support the State
government and the various institu-
tions. They soon get acquainted with
these facts, however, and l expect to
see a liberal spirit manifested in max
ing appropriations.
"One thing will be done at this SEES
sion which has not been the custom
heretofore. The committee on benevo-i
lent institutions will personally visit
these institutions and make a careful
inquiry into their needs before decid-
ing upon the appropriations to be rec
commended. By doing this they can ex-
change information with the commit
tee on appropriations. and thus trans
act affairs In a businesslike manner,
giving each school and college and
benevolent institution just what it
needs and no more"

BY Way Of Contrast.

A very strong argument in favor of
State repositories could have been
found last week by any one who could
have watched the janitors at the
building handling the bags of silver
that were shipped to the State treas.
urer's office. Fifty-three thousand dol
lars was sent up from the s%ubtreasury
in New Orleans to the State treasury.
1t was all silver, and made mary large
sacks. In the first place it cost $50
to transport the money from New Or
leans to Jackson. 1t took much hand
ling to get it to Jackson. 1t took a
wagon and a good pair of horses 10
haul it from the express office to the
capitol, and after it was landed at
the capitol it required a force of five
negroes about three hours to move it
from the wagon and stock it in the
vaults of the treasury. To see the me-
groes handling it in sacks, like it was
rice or meal, impressed many with
the awkwardness of the system.

Panama Action Anprovej.

The comment of the country press
last week on the action of the legis-
lature in instructing the two United
States senator's from Mississippi to
vote for the ratification of the Panama
treaty Is generally quite cordial in
tone, although some surprise is ex-
pressed that this action should have
Leen taken so early in the session.
and provoked so little debate. The
duickness with which the legislature
acted is r>garded as quite significant,
indicating that a sentiment exists in
this State to the effect that the ca
nal should be built as speedily as pos
sible, and that the ooner congress
disposed of the question the better it
will be for the best interests of the
country, and especially the South. The
right or wrong Of the presidents ac-
ton toward Colombia has been lost
sight of in the eagerness to secure as
surances of the construction of the ca
nal
