Not since the year 1883 has there
been such an enormous immigration
into South Dakota as is now moving
into the state. Scores of trains carry

going into the country every day over
the various railroads. The central part

the state can there be found such a

Heard a Familiar Voice.

Above the clamorous expression OF
presidential preferences in the various
party camps, and beyond the questions
OF Immediate concern occupying the
attention of Congress, the people have
heard again the voice of the man in the
White house, reassuring his legislative
but with new note OF warm
ing against "the sinister or foolish So
cialist visionary who strives to arouse
this feeling of class consciousness in
our working people" La the same
breath the president tells us that this
evil is no worse than the influence ex
ercised by the man of great wealth,
who, by lack of sympathy with the
workers, and by hostility toward them
"tends to unite them against their fel.
low Americans who are better off in
this worlds goods" The reception OF
the messages in both branches of Con
gress was nothing if not cool, and most
of the reports say that the Difference of

on the part of majority leaders, who
resent the frequent swishing of the
big stick over their heads. Neverthe-
less, the House has agreed to one of
the plans for which the President has
worked, namely, adequate presidential
supervision of a railroad auditing sy s.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. August a.
In an article on Kuropatkin's suppress

Clure's Magazine for September George
KEENAN, strongly supports the conten-
ton, prevalent in st. Petersburg, that
there would have been no war between
Russian and Japan If the Emperor of
Russia had not been a stockholder to
the sum of millions of rubles in Coun-
cilor Bezobrazoff's Yalu river timber
enterprise. 1t is charged that the car
sacrificed his country and his people
for the sake of his own financial inter
ests.
The Yalu River Company was royal
concern. 1t grew out of a concession
granted by the Korean government in
1898 to a Vladivostok merchant au-
thority to exploit the great forest
wealth of the upper Yalu river. Briner

months Immediately preceding the out
break of hostilities between Russia and
Japan it was said that nobody could
influence the car to run counter to
Bezobrazoff's advice and demands.
1t was Brezobrazoff who insisted up
on the course in Korea that brought
about hostilities. The minister of war,
the minister of finance, the minister of
foreign affairs, the viceroy in Man
churia, the Port Arthur council and the
diplomatic representatives of Russia
in Picking, Toxic and Seoul opposed
and resisted Bezobrazoff, but the car
would not take their advice; he stood
by the man with whom he was finan-
cially interested.
KUROPTKIN WARNED THEM.
Kuropatldn in his memoirs shows
that he and the other ministers stood
for treating the Yalu Lumber Com
pany as a commercial enterprise. After
an investigation on the spot, he tele-
graphed to st. Petersburg that If Rus
STA desired to avoid a rupture with
Japan she must refrain from inter
ference in Korea, and must resolutely
set her face against the scheme of
Bezobrazoff to militiarize his COM
pany.
Kuropatkin says that Admiral Alex
eff told him he was wholly opposed
to Bezobrazoff's schemes, was holding
them back with all his strength, and
was continually advocating a peaceful
Russo-Japanese agreement. Others
high in authority in the far east agreed
with Kuropatkin and Alexieff that the
Yalu company ought to be kept on a
strictly commercial basis; but it SEEM
ed that no amount of influence could

PRELATE Tells
OF GOLD STRIKE

SEATTLE, Wash, April 2S.-P
7. Rowe, Bishop of the Episcopal
church for the Territory of Alaska,
who arrived in this city today from
the north of the Yuckatan, brings the
first detailed authentic information
regarding the big gold strike on
Nolan creek, at the head of the Koyu-
kuk river, Bishop Rowe was in the
Nolan creek camp when the strike
was made and washed out $3.50 pars
on the Olson claim with his own
hands, and saw pans washed out that
ran as high as $500. Nolan creek
is only about 200 miles from the
Arctic ocean and there were only 125
men in the camp when Bishop Rove
left for the outside.
The strike was made at depth of
about $50 feet and about $40, 900 has
been washed by crude operations and
it is estimated that the cleanup at the
end of the summer will reach ST.
900, 900.
The big strike was made as the
result of an agreement between 4
number of the miners who have been
in the Koyukuk district since $685."
said Bishop Rowe. "All of these
miners have been, taking out suffi-
cient gold for grub stakes during the
past ten years, but have never at
tempted to go to bedrock before,
Last winter number of the min
ers at Nolan creek agreed to give
800 feet each off their claims to the
man who would sink. to bedrock, or
to the pay streak on his claim. This
proposition was accepted by man
by the name of Olson and his part
ners. He struck the rich pay at a
depth of $50 feet. The gold is the
highest quality of any gold that has
been taken out of Alaska, running
from $3.50 to 1880 per ounce"
Bishop Rowe came out to go to the
Lambeth conference in London, Eng
land, and will leave Monday morn
ing for New York to sail for Eng
land. The Lambeth conference is a

pal church from all over the world.
