Neal leaped out Of one of the small

ran nfmbly up the wharf. He had
good reason to, for on the yeranda Of

Many came and most were served
that night. But among the first to
come, though none we're served, were
four unlimited guests. They were a
strange quartet, these four, and they
came to see rather than to be seen.
Each one Of these four men became

across the intervening space and
caught Neal from behind. A coat or

MOVEMENT ID STOP OPIUM
 TRAFFIC IN CHINA

PEKING, Aug. P, - The Rev. F.. w. Thwing, chief of the International Reform Bureau, has submitted to Pre- sident Ii Yuan Hung, a long letter, urging the absolute prohibition of opium. On account of the monarchical movement, the late President Yuan Shi Kai found 1t necessary to levy the opium taxes at Shanghai, and in other prominent centers for the purpose of financing the movement. As the term stipulated in the opium agreement will soon expire, MT. Thwing suggests that a mandate should be issued abolishing all offices for opium tax and the en- forcing of prohibition throughout the republic.

HUNCARIANS WILL ENIGRATE AFTER
 THE WAR

BUDAPEST, Hungary. Aug. 9. - Hungary probably more than any FL ropean nation. is going to have 10 erect restrictive barriers against the emigration of its inhabitants to Am erica after the war ill the opinion of Dr. Gustav Gratz, member of parlia- ment and director of the Hungarian Manufacturers Association. At the same time if the United States hopes entirely to escape from an inundation of so-called "cheap labor" it must cooperate and itself put up barriers which shall help to keep out the thou sands who, Dr. Gratz believes, will want and try to forsake their native country and its heavy problems.
 Dr Gratz declares that he knows from fe~-7nal investigation that the tendency to emigrate from agricultu- ral Hungary will be in strong contrast 'o 'hN 'SllNflt'N III llltNEtItti #NASlllt and Germany to stay at home
 The cause for this tendency. of course, he explains. is to be found in the fact that the agricultural worker is not going to he so fortunately sttu- ated after the war as the industrial man. especially as the worker in Ger many and great part of Austria who is probably going to find plenty of work at wages high enough to off set the present and prospective high prices
 Yet. he believes, there will be some tendency on the part of the skilled laborer to go- across the new home. His hope that this is going to be pre- vented during a critical period in Flu rope lies not only in possible legisla- ton here, but in the repeated indiea- tions from America that she would like to check the number of emigrants coming to her

 W. s. Pekovitch. manager in charge of the development of the Funter bay mines, says the work is tied up on account of the strike of the Seattle longshoremen, which has prevented the shipment of machinery for the mine now lying on the Seattle wharf.
 Quartz prospecting is said to have taken a new lease of life in the Kus- kokwim river district, owing to the bonding of the Mcdonald J. Bettles lode claim to Al Welsh. who is re- ported to have agreed to pay S2O0,000 for the property.
 The body of a man, found in the woods near Lemon creek. at Juneau, by two surveyors who were running line, has been identified as that of Ernest Schwaab, who is supposed to have wandered away and died while in a state of insanity.

LANSING's' $ NEPHEW ID BE
 \ DIPLOMAT

VIENNA, Aug. 22. - Allan Welsh Duies. a nephew of Secretary of State Lansing, and grandson of the former secretary of state. John w. Foster, has arrived in India to take a position as a third secretary under the American ambassador, Frederick C. Penfield.
 Mir. Dulles, who though but 23 years old, has already had an unusual edu- cational career, and who has been pro lessor at a university in Vienna had cherished the thought of a diplomatic career for some time. but he had never let his hopes be known for fear that any appointment he might receive would lay him open to the charge of fayorltism on the part of his distin guished uncle. Therefore. in taking his examination he did not enter his name. but merely a number, and re vealed his identity only when it was definitely established that he had ob- tained the highest percentage of the thirteen candidates who competed.
 By an odd coincidence he comes to Vienna for his diplomatic start with Mr Penfield for his preceptor and in, structor. Mir Penfield in turn accords to Dulles grandfather. John w. Foster. all the groundwork of diplomatic knowledge which he possesses.

YUKON GOLD CO.'S DREDGE
 MAKING RAPID PROGRESS

The big dredge of the Yukon Gold Company, on Flat creek, is making rapid progress toward the mouth of the stream, being now only about a mile from the town of Flat. The mess house recently was moved, and now is located about half a mile from town, which will be it's permanent location in all probability. The ground through which the dredge has been working recently is very narrow, but as it hears the mouth of the creek and the town of Flat it widens out considerably. and progress will be much slower.-Idita- rod Pioneer.
