Uncomplimentary Picture of Clay.
'rThe prominent leader of this side OF the
question was a man gifted with great vol
utility of speech, much self-importance In
delivery. considerable occasional violence in
manner, and who seemed to command
much attention, rather from the strength
Of his lungs, however, than from the solid
ity of his reasoning. This gentleman |
found to be Mr.. Henry Clay, speaker of the
House of Representatives, an active man of
business. He is sad to understand the
forms of the House better than any other
member. His manners are not exactly gen.

TO EXTEND
Klondike Mines To Be Push
 cd Further

Dawson, Sep. 2S-It has been decided by the KloudiEe Mines railway packers to euxtend the railway next year from Sulphur Springs, the outer terminus for this year. Thepoint to which the road will be extended next year is not ded- nitely fixed. It will go at least to Gran vile, and perhaps on over to the Flat creek country country. Bloomfield Smish, Dawson representative Of the London stockholders, has received ir- structious to have the preparations made for extending the line.
 The Stewart is the ultimate desuns' tiou of the road, but some believe that it Is designed by the English packers to ultimately make it link in the pro posed railway from Edmonton to Daw' son. By going to tEe Flat creek and Stewart river basin, the road will be tu the ancient channel of the Stewart, which connects with a natural ancient highway leading to the heud of the Pelly, and then over the divide into the Peace river country, not far from Ed moutou.

= EYMoUR CHAPLAIN was the

~ EYMOUR CHAPLAIN was the
son OF one of the wealthiest
AZ and most aristocratic mer-
chants of Philadelphia. He
was not particularly bright, so his
father determined to send him to
college.
Shortly after his arrival in New
York he made the acquaintance of
an actress whose dramatic ability
was confined principally to her
pedestrian performances. Her name
was Blanche.
Blanche soon discovered that her
admirer was the scion OF a wealthy
and aristocratic Philadelphia family,
and she determined to set her cap
for him. As Seymour was a very
susceptible young man. she met with
but little difficulty. Her motives
were honorable. as her object was
matrimony. In the meantime, how
ever, she was not averse to accepting
presents from the enamored youth.
She also allowed him to pay for the
champagne they mutually enjoyed.
In fact, her condescensions went so
far that she allowed him to carry her
pet poodle when they took a stroll In
Central park. 1t was generally un-
derstood that they were engaged.
Mr.. Chaplain, ST., was very liberal
in supplying his sons wants, but the
extraordinary demands made on him
finally excited his anxiety. A report
came to his ears that his SON had
presented an actress with a very ex-
pensive diamond ring. Seymour was
somewhat surprised when he received
a letter from his parent to the effect
that he, the aforesaid parent, would
be In New York next day, as he de-
sired to see himself how much prog
tess the young mau was making in

SMACK HALCY0N

Vessel is on a Reef at the En-
trance of the Pass..Tug
Nellie Returns.

The fishing schooner Halcyon, of
the fleet of Warren & Co.. reported
yesterday ashore near East Pass, is
sunk on a reef at the entrance to the
pass. with decks awash, and unless
she is moved from her present posi-
ton within the next twenty-fcur
hours there is strong probability of
her being lost.
The tug Nellie, which went to the
assistance Of the schooner Wednes-
day night, returned last night. The
tug could do nothing with the
schooner. as she had sunk and con-
tains about fifteen tons of ballast, and
to pull her from the reef would be
only to have her sink in much deeper
water. When the tug arrived at the
entrance of the pass yesterday morn
ing at 2 o'clock and the. condition of
the smack was learned, she started
on the return trip at once.
Last night the tug went out to
meet the big steamer Florida which is
coming down with a tow of lighters.
The Nellie will take this tow and
send the Florida through the pass to
the aid of the Halcyon. The Florida
can get through the pass and to the
smack, and it is believed pull her into
shoal water. A diver is on the Flor
ida and the ballast will be removed
from the smack so that she can be
foated and brought to port.
When the smack struck on the
reef She began to pound up and
down until leak was sprung and
then sunk. The members of the crew
are camped on the beach awaiting
the arrival of the Florida. ...

Death kneIl of Privilege.

The gospel Of equal rights sounds the
death-knell Of privilege and means the
uprooting of monopoly throughout the
land. This gospel teaches that it is more
important that all Of the people be pros
porous than that few be very rich; that
1t is better than all of the people should
have all of the wealth than that all of the
wealth should be in the hands of a few
people. The other republics that have
lived and died during the flight of time
through the ages have been wrecked upon
the rock of privilege. But the hope for
the perpetuity of this government was
never brighter than it is today, because
the people are awakened to the dangers
ahead AS long as the people are aroused,
there will be only safety lights for the
popular government.
The ideal republic is one of charity for
all, OF brotherhood among men, of equal
rights for all mankind. We may not
achieve the ideal at any time soon, but
we can strive for it with the assur-
ance that this endeavor will lead us up the
helght OF attainment until we are face to
face with the ideal and the true
In times like these when mighty move
ments are going on, a few men can stand
out holding the light to guide the foot
