DEAD MAN
 FOUND 0N TRAIL

Dawson, Jan. 5-The body of a man has been found on the trail on the Yukon river between ogilyie an Stewart. The remains have not been fully identified, but are sup posed to be those of Paul Lestor, who left here about Christmas on a prospecting trip to some tribut&ry of the Yukon near or above Stew art.
 The body was six to ten miles below stewart, it Is understood, and was found lying in the snow rigid in death. Nearby were found the mans dogs, gaunt and nearly dead from hunger.
 A Yukon sleigh to which the dog evidently had been hitched was some miles below the body. The sleigh was loaded with provisions. It appeared as though the man had unhitched the dogs and gone for ward and left the sleigh.
 The remains were found by 8 ma named Neill, who reported the case by wire from Stewart. Instructions have been sent to Stewart for the body to be taken there, and an tn- vestigation will be made.
 Paul Lestor, on leaving here had two small dogs and a heavy load of supplies. He was an elderly man. but an experienced frontiersman. He mined for years on Duncan creek and later in the Klotassin country, and then came to Dawson, and recently quit work here for one of the companies and declared pros Decting suited him better. It is feared he took sick on the trail and collapsed or was chilled and over come while trying to make shelter after having been caught in storm between stations during one of the extremely cold days.

TALK ON IMMIGRATION BILL
Measure Brought Out Evidence of An tasonism to Certain Races-Strong Protest Against Increase In Second Class Mail Rates-Everybody Should Have Fish Hatchery, Says Austin.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, Dec. 23.-[Special.l- Maybe it is a race question that is at the bottom of the European war; may be that Is what all this great struggle means. Such an idea occurred to me when the senate was discussing the immigration bill and it was observed by what twists, turns, maps and draw ing of lines upon the globe the mem bers of the senate sought to exclude certain races and yet not to directly offend great nations.
 It developed that the race issue is still a dominating factor in the south, that no more Africans are wanted in that section of the country. It was shown that the race issue is the strong est element in the west and that no more Chinese, Japanese nor Hindus are wanted on the Pacific coast. Southern men made a strong effort to secure exclusion of Africans either coming from Africa or the West India islands.

AN INACCURATE LEGEND

There is groing up around the Guggenbeims Q legend that is about as inaccurate as such things usual Iy are. Some Ferrero of the tu- lure probably will have to dig up facts. One C. C. Forbes, writing recently in LesIie's Weekly, re cOrdai that No mouutaineer, no Urospector knew moro hardships than the Guggenheim brothers went through. The Creator, they soon discovered, had invariably deposited mineral wealth far from the set tied ceuters of civilization and had surrounded it with obstacles which only the pioneer and praze elected to encounter. Daniel Guggenheim, with the other brothers, slept in tents CT wagons amid wild surround :ugs as often as under a roof. And then some more slush. Daniel GuggeuLeim was a bold and far seeing fiuaucier and eXploiter, but he was not a pioneer of the type of Mackay and Hearst, and such iutimatious are probably quite uauseating to him,
 Iu the early sos, Meyer Gug- reubeim, q lace manufacturer in Philadelphia, at the instigauon of a seuow Puiladelphian, Graham by name, acquired g. half interest in the \. I. and Minnie mine in Cali Ioruia gulch at Leadyille, colo. The venture proved highly profit able, the A. I. and Minnie becom- ing enc of the big mines of the dis trict. Benjamin Guggenheim, one Of the sons ot Meyer, was sent out 10 the mine as accountant, and he acquiring more or less information couceruug the smelling business, in duced his father and brothers to go into it largely because of the un- favorable terms the smelters were making on the A. '. and Minnie ore. which gradually become more zIucy and consequently less desir- able Iu character, from the lead smeIters' standpoint. The Guggen- helms, ill company with E. c. Hol- den lwbo soon reured), built the Philadelphia works, 9 large plant at Pueblo, Colo, in 1889. At first thls venture was decidedly unsuc- cessfGl, but gradually coming to Inc appreciation of the necessity for securing the best possible technical advice and acting upon that prin- ripIe, together with their own sharp commercial acumen, they converted into a success what promised to be a failure. Thus having acquired an insight into the smelting business, they early appreciated the great possibilities of smelting in Mexico when the lead bearing ores of that country were practically excluded from the United States by the tar if of 1890, and erected works at Monterey and Aguas Calientes. This expansion in business, to which the tariff of 1890 opened the way, was the real start of the business. When the Philadelphia plant was built, William and one or two other brothers went out to join Benjamin. In later years, when the business had become big, there was Q little rift between the brothers who had been in the field and those who had stayed at home. And finally, Ben jamin (who was lost with the Iii tanic) and William retired from the smelling business. - Engineer jig and Mining Journal

The New Alliance.

Some one has tried to make 1t appear that the new alliance which elected Mir. Wilson-the south and west-was united on the race issue, both sections being interested in the preservation of the white race. That is scarcely tena- ble in view of the fact that about the only action which the administration took on the race question in the west was antagonistic to the wishes of the people of California. Said Senator Phelan, speaking of this subject:
 "When Secretary of State W. J. Bry- an came to California to plead with the legislature we received him as an emissary from Washington, although he was interfering with matter which did not concern him at all and was trespassing upon our states jurisdic- tion.'
 Bryan went upon the instruction of President Wilson.

Reed Led thc Opposition,

TUT lOlE ll4AC AS NblSSASu NHNS AN one in the senate except Senator Reed of Missouri opposed the immigration bill. For days he led, or, rather, was alone, in the fight against the measure. But when the time fer a vote ap- preached it was found that quite a number of senators were very much opposed to it. Those who represent states with a large foreign born popu- lation were quite vigorous in their Op- position.
 Protests as to Second Class.
 The proposition to increase second class mail rates at the present time is meeting with great deal of opposition, and protests are coming in from pub fishers. who say that with the present high price of paper it is impossible to meet the still greater burden of in- creased mail postage. Possibly the pro posed action will be postponed, as rec commended by Postmaster General Bur lesOn.
 Ninety Per Cent Unmarried.
 While the house was discussing the proposal to raise the pay of their clerks Congressman Stafford of Wis consin remarked that 90 per cent of the clerks were unmarried.
 "The 90 per cent will remain unmar- ried as long as salaries are only S125 per month and the cost of living Is what it is at this time," remarked Con gressman Neely of West Virginia.
 More Fish Hatcheres Wanted.
 When the fish hatchery bill was con sidered in the house Congressman Aus tin gave expression to views which met with general approbation. "I wish this bill could be opened up so we could all get fish hatchery" he said, and there was applause from the listen ing members. He went on to say that more fish were needed and there could not be too many hatCheries. There is no finer sport in the world than fish ing" said Austin. We want and need cheap fish, and, besides, it is fine brain food, and, according to the late cleo tiOn returns we are badly in need of brain food in this country"
 Abolish State Lines7
 Congressman Fcss of Ohio was crit icising the tendency of the house to indulge In pork barrel legislation and the loading down of bills with amend ments in favor of states and localities.
 Don't you think that the only way we can get rid Of pork barrel legisla- tion is by the obliteration of state lines?" asked a western member.
 How are we to get rid of state lineS?' inquired Butler of Pennsylva, nia, who Is always practical.
 Moving Swiftly,
 That there will be no need of an extra session, so far as the supply bills are concerned, is shown by the celerity with which the appropriation bills are moving. Take the Indian bill. It usually consumes several days and sometimes two weeks. It was passed In less than a day and half of dis cussion. Congress can get along fast when it really wants to push legisla- tion.
