Three hundred thousand dollars worth ol gold dust from Fairbanks, arrived here yesterday o0 the mail launch Emil Staui. It was shipped all the way from Fairbanks by mail. and was brought from Gibbou to Eagle by launches of the N, N. Co.,, and the remainder Of the distance by Eli Verresu's isuuch. The gold was shipped by mail. This is the first big gold shipment ever made by mail. All of it is put up iu iour-pOuud packages, thus escaping she limit on plckage weights The reason of ship ping it bg mail IS not known, but some Of the wise ones here have said that per haUs Ihe Fairbanks pOstOdice wants to swell its returns, which would enJitle 10 60 grade, perhaps higher than now.

 The reason given in transportation circles for the shipment of the gold by mail, is to buck the express company, whose rate, is is said, the banks claim is too high. All the Fairbanks banks are said % be shipping by mail.
 All the gold is shipped in packages weighing all told not more than four pounds. This means the actual weight Of ghs gold brick in each package s something less than four pounds,

EXPORTS JUMPING Up.
Eff ect OF the L0ngshOremen's Strike Ia
BEGINNING 10 Waue.

That in spite of the continued strike Of
the longshoremen matters are coming
round to normal with the carrying OF
the transatlantic steamships lines affected
was shown yesterday by the returns at the
Custom House on exports from New York
for the week ending May rs. The COM
paniee say that this is largely due TO the
fact that the strikebreakers are becoming
more expert, coupled with the fact that the
strikers are still quietly returning.
The returns for the week ending May 20
show that the value OF the exports for the
week was 50, 75S, $50, as against So, i56, O61
for the week ending May IS, when the strike
was at its height, and $1S, 4Oo,9e for the
week ending Nav IL. before the effects Of
the strike began TO be felt. The exports to
England for the week ending May IL were
So, PSI, 1872. They fell to 81 sos, e53 for Ithe
week ending May 1s and jumped to 81, 1922
4O3 for the week ending May %.
In reference TO the present situation the
following statement was made yesterday
on behalf Of all the steamship lines:
The situation is still improving since May
rs, and by the end OF this week there will be
little left of the strike as far as it's influence on
trafic is cen cerned. While the Improvement
in the freihht exports from this port is graft
flying, some of the traflc lost to New York
which went to Philadelphia and other ports
may not come back for a long time. Most
Of the freight from the interior is carried on
through bills OF lading OF the initial rail line.
II 1t was found during the progress Of traflc
to seaboard that it was more desirable to ship
to another port the railroads could consult
with the shippers what to do, The com
panies had to lose this traf1c rather than
yield to the unjust demands OF the strikers
and we're prepared to fight the strike to the
end. The Longer the strike lasts now the
the fewer Of the strikers can be taken back.
as the new hands have become accustomed
to the work, and every competent man will
be retained. The increase in the exports OF
nearly so per cent, in one week shows that
matters are coming rapidly up TO their pormal
shape,
Strike Leader Patrick Connors suddenly
appeared yesterday with about $50 strikers
at Pier 9, East River, where several hundred
Greeks and Italians were going to work.
Connors and his men stood opposite the pier
and harangued the strikebreakers as they
were going TO work. 4 number OF men
had been brought long as interpreters, and
with their help a large contingent OF the new
men were induced to quit.
Connors has been ~subpPnaed to appear
before the Federal Grand Jury by United
States District Attorney Stimeon. II was
said that he was mon in reference
to the charges that certain tugboat captains
had violated the law regarding the con-
veying Of strikebreakers.
The members Of the Federation OF German
Seamen, who are among the crews OF the
Atlas Line steamships. decided yesterday
after a meeting not to strike.

In the person Of Arthur Garbutt was pre-
sented to the public last night at Hartley
House, 41S West Forty-sixth street.
The play. which the sixteen-year-old
author says he wrote in two weeks, was
based on an incident in the life Of that
king Of highwaymen, Dick Turpin. and
afforded opportunities for the display Of
every conceivable emotion OF the human
heart. He admits that he owes some Of
his inspiration to a vaudeville sketch played
here by r. A. Roberts.
The audience drank in every word with
avidity, clapped. stamped and whistled
their approval OF Dick and the friendly
traveller and Kissed the other characters,
who were every one OF them villains.
There was Old Sally who had adopted
Dick in his early childhood and taught him
to steal.
She is the proprietress of a small inn
where the scene is laid. and as soon as the
curtain rises, expresses her hatred for
Dick. and her determination to give him
up to his pursuers for the sake Of the prom
ised reward Of thirty guineas.
Then a traveller. friendly to Dick. comes
in and engages a room. Sally poisons
his ale, but he does not drink it.
A country squire and a Bow street rum
ner, both eager for the capture Of the high
wayman, enter. and confer with the old
woman. who promises Ia. deliver Dick into
their hands.
Then the hero appears. At Hartley
