$40,000 in a find outside of the recent Klondike discoveries. Up to the present time there has never been any gold discovered in paying quantities in the creeks flowing from the east, with the single exception of the Stewart river. This is due to the fact that there is an entirely different geological formation upon that side. "A deposit of limestone covers the goldbearing paleozo.c rocks on that side and the miners learned that the gold w'as found only where the paleozoic rocks came to the surface. Hence the eastern bank was ehunned and the Klondike river flowing from this neglected side of the river lay for years undiscovered. The paleozoic formation is found upon the eastern side of the Yukon river, only south of the Klondike river, and runs for a short aistance up these eastern tributaries until a limestone and coal formation is reached, when the gold-bearing ground ceases. This coal formation is an interesting feature of the country that is almost unknown. Some of it has been dug and burned, hut its commercial worth Is still undetermined. “The gold-bearing district is at least a hundred miles wide, and extends in a generally northwestern direction from Hootalinqua river practically to the Arctic ocean. The extent of this gold-bearing section in the extreme Northwest along Koyukuk river is almost unknown. This seems to be an extension of the old Cassiar district in that the rock formations are about the same. It will be seen that this Alaskan gold section is the northern extension of the great Kocky mountain gold-bearing belt. An Indication of the age of the country is the fact that the rivers have reached their base level. The Alaskan streams are not like California streams in that they are wide, sluggish and shallow, showing that the erosion has ceased, and that they are gradually filling up. This means that these rivers have been flowing for many years. For this reason the gold deposits of Alaska are being covered up rather than uncovered. In some of the creeks It appears that gold has bc*en disturbed by freshets and often washed out altogether. This causes an irregularity in the deposits and an uncertainty in the working of a creek. A pay streak may be struck and worked for a few hundred feet and then run out. This same streak may bo located further up or down the creek, the intermediate section in which no gold Is found apparently having been washed out by some freshet in the past. This irregularity in the pay streaks makes prospecting uncertain, and when coupled with the frozen condition of the ground prospecting becomes difficult and uncertain indeed. "The only way in which prospecting can be done is by sinking holes down to the bed rock. This is necessarily slow w-ork, and it may be that the prospector will sink his,.hole only a few feet away front the pajA streaks in one of these barren places and miss the gold altogether. Another reason for the uncertainty is the narrowness of the pay streak compared with the width of the creek bottom, and the prospector may miss it. The next man that prospects that section may run into gold in almost every spot w r here another man had failed. “There has been no quartz of any value found in the country, but as a matter of fact quartz mine prospecting has not been prosecuted. There has been a small seam of quartz with gold in it found in one of the claims in Franklin gulch, and it is my idea that when the source of the gold in this region is found it will be from such seams In the bed rock. There is not a single quartz mine in that whole section. There are mineral veins In which gold, silver. copper and lead are found in varying quan ities. but I have not seen any distinct quartz ledges. “The actual first winter’s work turned out a round million dollars from Bonanza and Eldorado creeks. Eldorado produced about s*oo,ooo of this amount from the first thirty-five claims, or about three miles of creek. Half a dozen claims produced the majority of this amount—probably sooo,ooo. The claims that turned out this large amount are: No. 2, F. Fhiscater: No. 0, Clarence Berry; No. 8, Lamb & McNamee; Nos. 14 and 15, owned by Sloane Brothers; v;ho afterward sold to Knause & Cos., and No. 16, owned by T. I. Lippy. “The story has gone out that many of those amounts were made in a few weeks or a few days. This is not correct, owing to the peculiar way in which these mines are worked. The finds actually represent the work of the winter, for the men work all winter digging out the ground and piling up their dump, and then washing out In the spring, when the water begins to run. The largest single pan of which there Is any authentic record was thirty-five ounces, or about $550, taken out by W lllinm Ogilvie, the dominion land surveyer, on the Berry claim. There are about twenty rlaims on Bonanza creek thht will compare favorably with those on Eldorado. There are altogether about three hundred claims on Hunker, Eldorado and Bonanza creeks that will be worked quite extensively this winter. “There are about six hundred claims that have been recorded in the Klondike district. The Indian river, which empties into the Yukon about forty miles above the Klondike, will be thoroughly prospected this winter. Dominion creek, a tributary Os the Indian river, has been located on extensively and there are about one hundred claims in that district. Stewart river will be given considerable attention this winter and next. year. There has been nothing done there since the old bar diggings, and no gulch diggings have been attempted. A little gold comes out of those every year ■where a few men have been working, and there will be a rush there when the newcomers find that the Klondike is entirely taken up. After that it will be necessary to branch out in the almost unexplored districts between Forty-mile creek and the Arctic ocean. I expect that the new gold diggers will force their way into all of these sections and there may yet be finds in these unexplored regions.”

THE BKAGUAY TRAIL.. Hnndrid* of Ren Blasting Rook and CorduroylnK Mud Rond*. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. s.—The following letter from J. M. Haggerty has been received from Skaguay. Alaska, dated Aug. 28: “Sylvester Scovel, a New York correspondent, landed yesterday morning at Skaguay by a specially chartered tug from Juneau, with two tons of blasting powder and the necessary tools to equip seven complete crews 'or rock work on the Skaguay trail, and as fast as horses and men could get away crews were started to the front. In the evening there was a meeting at the foot of the first hill, attended by over 500 miners, who organized for the work in front of them and elected an executive committee, consisting of James Chrisite, of Portland, president; Philip Adams, secretary; C. A. Cramer, of Seattle; Mr. Heacock and Mr. Day as superintendents, who selected experienced men for the work on the rock hills and veteran loggers for the work of corduroying the muddy places. There were thirty Canadian mounted police also on the trail. Th'ey haw pitched in with a good will and say •building of this trail wili now enable them to get in the seventy tons of provisions in time to build and provision the mail stations in their territory, so that they can operate dog teams all winter, and they agree to deliver the mail every two weeks from the Klondike to the American line. Work is in progress for fifteen miles along the tftdl and all travel and packing has been suspended until it is completed. "There have been some kickers as usual, but they are so much in the minority that they had to submit. While 1 believe this trail will be complete in ten days so that travel can he resumed, dont start for this point expecting to get ovVr for at least thirty days, as it will take that long after the trail is completed to get all the miners over who are now there. Not nearly so many discouraged prospectors are selling their outfits for a song as has be’en reported, but a good many who started for the Klondike have given up that idea, have turned townsite buyers and are erecting all kinds of buildings and establishing themselves for the winter as best they can. One week ago lumber could be got for $27 per thousand. Now it is SSO and none for sale at even that figure. Rubber boots, heavy shoes and oil clothing are in demand and fetch big prices. Hardware or all kinds sells well. The Alaska Pacific Express Company has made arrangements to open an office here, and has appointed H. E. Baltic tfTrmerly of Portland, agent. Th'e steamship Queen, of Seattle, and Alki and Danube of Victoria, have landed over 500 passengers, SOO tons f freight and 200 horses and mules since Aug. 25, and still there is more to follow.” SCHEME OF BANDIT S. Ciuiigr of Hoad Agents to Operate In the Gold Field. TEKAMA, Neb., Sept. 5. Unless Jack Barron comes to grief between Omaha and Seattle it will be well ere long for Klondike miners to carry arms on their trips from the diggings to the. coast. From Gus Ness the authorities here have learned that Barron is on his way to Alaska to organize a gang of road agents to rob such parties during the coming season. “Barron and I met in Milwaukee,” Ness says. “I live there, while Barron claimed to hail from Denver. In conversation with him I dropped the information that 1 had spent some time in Alaska six years ago. Then he •aid I was just the man he needed for a partner. His plan was to visit Jur.eau, pick up six or eight toughs from the joints there, arm them and start after parties returning from the mines with loads of dust and nuggets. He thought he might even grow strong enough to overhaul the Yukonriver steamers on their way to St. Michael’s. I fell in with him and we decided to start a* once. Barron thought we

ought to spend a few months in Juneau picking up good men for the gang. We had iittle more money than we needed to pay our way from Seattle to Juneau, so we beat our way as far as Tekama. On the read 1 got to thinking the matter over, and resolved to shake the outfit. So we parted at Tekama. Barron went to Omaha. From there he will go to Seattle.” At Tekama it is the general opinion that Barron and Ness quarreled, that Barron was furnishing funds for the venture and that he abandoned his partner. Vigilance Committee Held Up, VICTORIA. B. C„ Sept. s.—Frank I. Crampton, of Mount Vernon, Wash., is one of the passengers down from Skaguay on the steamer Queen. He went up to look over the situation and took a trip over both passes. He says that the killing of horses is caused largely by novices who do not know how to load them. In many instances the packsaddles are allowed to wear great holes in the horses’ hacks. The men who are fixing the trail will be the first to profit by it. This has been decided by the vigilance committee, and no man can go on the trail with packs without a certificate from the secretary that he has done so much work on the trail. One man whom Mr. Crampton saw had got nearly all of his outfit over when the trail was closed to travel. The committee refused to let him take the remainder of his pack over. His entreaties did no good. In desperation he went back and got a Winchester rifle and two revolvers and held up the committee and went through. At Dyea and the Chilcat pass the conditions are much the same as on the Skaguay trail. A Mexican Klondike. SEDALIA, Mo., Sept. 5.—J. W. Corkins, a Sedalia capitalist, and Leo Cloud, an expert mining engineer of Cincinnati, representatives of a St. Louis and Cincinnati syndicate, will leave here to-morrow for the west coast of Mexico to practically verify the value of gold placer and quartz mines which have recently been secured by the syndicate through concessions and mineralland grants from the Republic of Mexico. Messrs Corkins and Cloud will go direct to Hermosillo and from there to the gold fields In the new Eldorado, located in the Yaqui Indian country, which has just been opened to entry tp white men. This part of Mexico has been explored but little by the w’hites, but if the reports of the syndicate prospectors are true the inland mountain ranges along the west coast of Mexico are richer than those of the Klondike. The placer mines are said to be marvelously rich in scale and nugget gold, while the quartz rock in the upper ledges contains veins of free milling ore which assay from SSO to $2,500 per ton. Claim* to Have Made $240,000. UPPER SANDUSKY, 0., Sept. s.—Mrs. Minnie Peters, of this city, has received a letter from her son, Harry B. Peters, who is en route to Klondike, dated St. Michael’s, Aug. 13, in which he says he met F. Powers, of Marysville, 0., who, with a partner, made $120,000 each out of one claim they discovered last winter and then sold it for $120,000. Powers is on his way home and says the Klondike is the richest country in the world. Peters says there will be great suffering this winter, and cautions every one not to go to Klondike before next June, and'says no one should attempt to go over the trail unless a good canoe man. The necessary cash for the trip, he says, is at least SSOO. BACHELORS MUST MARRY. Boston Women Making War on Politicians Win* Refuse to Weil. BOSTON, Sept. s.—The recent manifesto of Mrs. Charlotte Smith against the bachelor politician was the subject of much attention from the Woman’s Rescue League of this city yesterday. Asa result a set of resolutions was passed setting forth that “The American bachelor politician shirks his duty to the human family when, he fails to provide a home for some good woman before he engages in the profession of politics, therefore, ne is not to be trusted after he has entered a political arena in which temptations surround nim on all sides, and, unfortunately, modern society has heretofore given the political bachelor too much latitude by ignoring his private life. That as far as practicable a list of bachelor politicians who are aspirants for public office be obtained in the States of Massachusetts and New York, and formal protests be sent out against their election or re-election by the Woman's Rescue League, on the ground that they are ineligible to hold public office.” The league extends its congratulations to ex-Mayor Edwin Upton Curtis, of Boston, on his approaching marriage., and recommends for him a two-years’ vacation from politics, in which to enjoy his honeymoon.

SHOT BY A TRAMP. Workingman Killed Because He Wai Slow in Handing Over His Money. BEAVER FALLS, Pa., Sept. s.—Charles Gower is dead at this place, with a bullet w’ound through his heart, the result of a hold-up by tramps. Gower, who had secured work at New Castle, Pa., as a molder, prevailed on five of his fellow-workmen to board a freight train from Allegheny City to help him pack his goods and move his sick wife and three small children to his new homo at New Castle. The men were riding in an empty ore car on the Pittsburg & Lake Erie road, and were not disturbed until just before this place W'as reached early this morning. They were then confronted with three tramps with revolvers. who ordered “hands up.” Gower’s companions were fleeced of ail they posse* sed, and when they reached him Gower began to explain that he only had $9. which he was taking home to his sick wife and children. The ruffian who had him covered became/impatient and fired his revolver, the bullet going through Gower’s heart. As the train slow'ed up for this station the robbers jumped off and escaped in the darkness. Every effort is being made to capture the miscreants. LfIBOR-DflY WEATHER.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 6, 1897.

HE WILL KEEP FAITH AMEER OF AFGHANISTAN IS LOYAL TO GREAT BRITAIN. ♦ Taking All Precautions to Prevent Hl* People from Joining the Fanatics of Northern India- - ♦ . - LONDON. Sept. 6.—The Times this morning publishes a dispatch from Simla saying that further evidence has been obtained of the desire of the Ameer of Afghanistan to prevent his subjects from joining the frontier disturbances. The British agent at Cabul submitted, at the Ameer’s request, a written statement showing the points upon which the government laid special stress. The Ameer replied to this statement in his own handwriting, emphasizing his previous statements that his subjects do not dare to openly take part in the fighting, but they have been drawn away secretly by the Mullahs, whose conduct he strongly condemned. Not the least doubt is entertained, the dispatch says, of the Ameer’s desire to fulfill his obligations loyally. He has issued orders that his troops be withdrawn from the detached outposts, so that they can be kept together under the control of officers who are able to prevent them from deserting and joining in the fighting. An important step l:us been taken by Maharaja Sir Bir Shamsher Jang Rana Bahadur, prime minister of Nepaul, who has forbidden the circulation in the kingdom of native newspapers winch he considers seditious and hostile to the British government. He has thus set a good example to the native states generally and to the government of India, which is still considering measures to check seditious writing. Movements of British Troops. PESHAWAR, Sept. s.—No fighting of importance has yet occurred between the government forces and the tribesmen who have taken part in the uprising. The enemy is concentrating at various points and it is estimated that 17,'>30 rebels are now' on the Santana range, but they appear loath to attack the government troops. It is reported that the followers of Haddah Mullah in the Shabkadr district are deserting him and the Afridis are returning to Khyber pass. The British troops are massing along the disturbed line and several columns have been sent out in different directions. A slight skirmish has occurred near Hangu, from which point a small column was dispatched and scoured the districts ot Atagmir, Nawimela and Turi. They found the enemy’s posts deserted. There w'as some firing, but the enemy refused to be engaged at close quarters. The Subador commanding the Mullagorl levies and forty of his company, which formed a part of the garrison at Fort Lun-di-Kotal, arrived at Jamrud on Friday and were given an enthusiastic reception, the entire garrison turning out and cheering as they entered the town. The Mullagoris cut their w r ay through the enemy after the capture of tort Lundi-Kotal and marched to their own country, where they buried their dead and reassured their friends. They then proceeded for Jamrud, which they reached in safety with their arms. Curious stories are afloat about the fanatical methods which are employed to drive the tribes to revolt. The so-called Mad Mullah has been the chief inciter of the rebellion. This is a sample: Some days before the attack of Malakand the Mad Mullah, who w'as at Brana, the principal town in lower Swat, put one of the chiefs in a trance and asked the man what he saw. He replied: ”1 see the hills around crowded with true believers and the hosts of heaven are wfith them. Down below are the sahibs. Some are dead on the ground and others are being followed and slain by Mahomet's follow'ers. In the distance the Topkhana are coming, but soon they are flying and the whole of the infidels are killed or dying.’’ The Mad Mullah is a mesmerist of no mean order, and the tribesmen have followed the mullah as a prophet. He does not doubt the efficieny of pink rice, which he gave his followers to insure invulnerability. A wound which he received in the hand he got by clutching a bayonet during an attack.

TWO MAJESTIES SPEAK. Emperor William ml King Humbert Reply to Toast*. HAMBURG, Sept. s.—Emperor William, in proposing the toast to King Humbert at the banquet at the Kurhaus last evening, said: “My army thanks your Majesty for the honor of your leading a corps in the review, but not only my army, but the whole German fatherland, greets in your Majesty an exalted prince, close friend of my father and a true ally whose presence again shows and the world how unshakable and firm stands the driebund which was founded in the interest of peace and which, the longer it lasts, will more firmly and more deeply strike its roots into the minds of the people and bear fruit accordingly.” King Humbert replied in French. He said: “I am glad of the opportunity to give you fresh testimony of the cordial friendship and alliance between our governments and states. Your Majesty has set your reign a noble task by devoting your constant efforts toward peace, the maintenance of which by agreements will end in the unanimous wish of our governments and also in my most ardent desires. I think I shall always remain faithful to my country's mission by giving loyal support to the accomplishment of this work—the greatest and most beneficent of all for the welfare of nations and the progress of civilization.” Emperor William then conferred the decoration of the order of the Black Eagle upon Count Lanza di Bosoa, the Italian embassador to Germany. The toast proposed by King Humbert is considered to be so W’orded as to make it understood that while Italy will adhere to the dreibund, she does not mean to impair! her relations with other powers; and it was evidently his view to emphasize this fact. During the reception King Humbert held a long conversation with the military attache of the French embassy. An open-air service for the troops was held to-day which was attended by the royalties present at the maneuvers, and at which Emperor William announced that Queen Margherita had been appointed chief of the Eleventh Battalion of Chasseurs. The Queen then made a brief address, the ceremony ending by a march past and the playing of the Italian royal march. The Csro.r ami the Snltan. LONDON, Sept. s.—The Constantinople correspondent of the Standard says he Is credibly informed that the Sultan has been in direct communication with the Czar, and that the correspondence has resulted in the making of mutual arrangements by which the Sultan agrees never to use his influence against Russia in Central Asia and the Czar pledges himself to unhold Turkish rights in Europe. Short Work Made of an Anarchi*t. BARCELONA, Sept. s.—Barril, the Anarchist who on Friday evening last attempted to assassinate Chief of Police Portas and Assistant Chief Teixidor as they were leaving the circus, was tried by court-mar-tial to-day, and it is expected that he wilt be executed to-morrow. It is stated that tw'o accomplices of P.arril also fired at the officials, but succeeded in making their escape. Cable Note*. Fearful storms have occurred in western Silesia and the rivers are rapidly rising and threatening fresh inundations. Several persons have been killed by lightning and a number of farmhouses have been burned. The London Times publishes a dispatch from Paris giving the text of the petition sent by the American Chamber of Com.merce in Paris to President McKinley for the establishment of reciprocity in trade between France and the United States. A formal declaration has been made by the Vatican that the statement that Cardinal Satolli has been designated by the Pope to succeed Cardinal Ledochowski us prefect of the Propaganda is pure fiction. It is also declared that Cardinal Ledochowski has no idea of leaving his post. Obituary. NEW YORK. Sept. s.—Benjamin Brewster. president of the Keokuk & Des Moines Railroad, died yesternay at his summer home in Casenovia, N. Y., aged sixty-nine years. In 1849 he wvnt to California, where he remained in business for

twenty-five ypars. He was closely associated with John D. Rockefeller In the establishment of the Standard Oil Company and was prominently identified with the construction of the Rock Island Railway. LONDON, Sept. s.—The death is announced of Charles George Perceval, seventh Earl of Egmont. The deceased was born June 15, 1845, and succeeded his uncle, the sixth earl, in 1874. BIG GUNS LOST. Four Sixteen-Ton Cannon Cause a Schooner to Capsize. SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 5. The threemasted schooner Agnes I. Grace, of Bangor, Me., capsized and sunk this morning twenty miles east of Tybee. Her crew came ashore in a boat and landed at Warsaw island this afternoon. The schooner Grace sailed from New’ York Aug. 28 with a cargo of salt lor Savannah and four sixteen-ton guns for the Tybee fortifications. All dow'n the coast she was driven by a fierce northeaster, and on Saturday night she came off Tybee laboring heavily in the gale. An effort was made to bring her to and save her being driven further to the southward, but when she was brought to the wind and began to toss In the heavy seas the big guns, which formed part of her deck load, drifted loose from their lashings and took possession of the deck. The crew was driven into the rigging and the iron monsters plunged about as the vessel heaved in the sea, making every effort to recapture them almost certain death. About 9 o’clock this morning an unusually heavy swell tossed all four guns into the port scuppers and the vessel heeled under the Immense weight, tried to right, but staggered as the green water broke fiercely in over the bulwarks. She capsized and sank. Captain Farrar and his crew, consisting of seven men, succeeded in manning the vessel’s boat after much difficulty, and rowed away from her just as she went down. Movements of Steamers. HAVRE, Sept. s.—Arrived: La Gascogne, from New' York. QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 5.-Sailerl: Campania, from Liverpool, for New York. Mother anil Son Burned. BOSTON. Mass., Sept. 6.—As the result of a fire early this morning in a house in Baker street. Roxbury, a Mrs. Stewart and her son. colored, are supposed to have lost their lives. The son’s body has been recovered, and as Mrs. Stewart is missing it is believed that she perished in the flames. Train Robbers Captured. TRINIDAD, Col.. Sept. s.—Word reached here to-night that the posse w r ho had taken the trail of the Gulf passenger train holdups had captured the men without resistance in w’hat is known as the Cimmarron country. No details of the capture could be learned. She Rode Into an Excavation. BOSTON, Sept. s.—Miss Mabel Morrill, aged twenty-two years, of East Cambridge, while riding a bicycle to-day, fell into an excavation and was killed.

THE POLICEMAN WINGED HIM. Edward Clark, Wanted for a Cutting Affray, Tried to Escape. In an affray near Maywood yesterday evening Edward Clark used a knife on a man named Fred Koepke. Patrolmen Irish and Grubbs went in search of Clark and found him near the corner of Ray and Ch’estnut streets an hour or two later. W T hen they attempted to arrest him he broke aw'ay and dodged into an alley. Both officers fired their revolvers and the fugitive was brought down with a bullet in his foot. He was sent to the jail and his wound dressed by l>r. Thomas. Koepke, who was attacked by Clark, was badly cut in the arm. Captain Dawson Struck a Dog. Police Captain Dawson, while coming down town on his bicycle last night, collided with a black dog on South street and took a double “header.’ He ruined a pair of trousers and suffered tome severe bruises. Books for Veterans. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: 1 have received during the week past the following books for thfe library of the Soldiers’ Home at Lafayette: “Ben-Hur.” Gen. Lew Wallace, one volume; “Prince of India,” Gen. Lew Wallace, two volumes; “Souvenir,” Western Association of Writers, one volum'e; “Sketches and Essays,” Western Association of Writers, one volume; “Company D, Sixty-eighth Indiana Regiment.” Capt. L. H. Mauzey. one volume; “Fifteen Years in Hell,” Luther B'enson, one volume; “Beyond the Verge,” D. C. Chipman. one volume; “Science Sketches,” David Starr Jordan, one volume; “The Story of the Innumerable Company,” David Starr Jordan, one volume; “Care of Cultured Men,” David Starr Jordan, one volume; “Malka and Kolik,” David Starr Jordan, one volume; “Driftwood,” W. W. Pfrimmer, one volume. The Loyal Legion desires as full a representation as possible of the works of Indiana authors. It is to be hoped that all will send me a copy of their works for the veterans’ library. It affords me pleasure to acknowledge the above in addition to those I mentioned a w r eek ago. WILL OUMBACK. Greenshurg, Ind., Sept. 5. Space in the Capitol. Washington Letter. Most vistors ask the question, what is going to become of the space in the Capitol hitherto occupied by the library? Three projects have been broached, and Congress at the coming session will probably act on one of them. The first suggestion, which is understood to bo favored by the speaker of the House of Representatives, is to turn the whole of the old library quarters into a restaurant. This would permit the now separate restaurants of Senate and House to be combined, give the new' concern a pleasanter outlook from the windows, and much more air and light at all seasons, and enable the quarters now used by the two restaurants down stairs to be turned into committee rooms for the two houses respectively. It would have one merit In the saving of much space now wasted, whether It had any other or. not. The second plan is to turn the two wings of the old library into committee rooms, and use the main room in the center for a common reading and w'riting room. A third plan, of which Mr. Spofford. the veteran librarian, is said to be the projector, is to use the central room as a room for members of both houses to consult standard works of reference when they do not care to go all the way to the new library building for that purpose, and to write their speeches and reports in a quiet atmosphere; the two wings to be devoted to the storage of the manuscript archives of Congress—the north w'ing for those of the Senate and the south w'ing for those of the House—these to be thoroughly arranged and indexed so as to he capable of instant reference. Mr. French, the efficient journal clerk of the House, has already done much to preserve anrl put. in order the manuscripts in his care, and with the aid of a like friendly hand on the Senate side, much matter might become available to the historian which is now' of no more use to him than if it were buried In the depths of the sea. A Receipt for Soap Babbles. No one has yet been able to make a soap bubble that will not burst, hut by care we can make one that lasts for some time. Its lenerth of life will depend largely upon the mixture used in blowing it, and the care we take in protecting it from drafts. Perhaps some of you do not know how to make a good soap bubble mixture, so I will gi\*e you directions for preparing one. Put into a pint bottle two ounces of best w'h’te Castile soap, cut into thin shavings, and fill the bottle with cold water which has been first boiled and then left to cool. Shake well together, and allow the bottle to stand until the upper part of the solution Is clear. Decant now of this clear solution two parts, and add one part of glycerin. and you will have a soap-bubble mixture very much like one suggested by Prof. P. J. Cook, of Harvard College. Some of you may wonder why hubbies cannot be blown from w’ater alone. Tt is because the particles do not posses sufficient attraction for on’e another to form a film. Mysteriously, the soap increases this attraction. even if the quantity be as small as one-hundredth part of the solution. We add the glycerin to make the film more gorgeous by bringing about a greater play of colors. Bear in mind that a carefully prepared mixture will save you much disappointment. The solution now being at hand, w*e use the ordinary clay tobacco pipe in blowing. Always use anew one. for one in which tobacco has been smoked Is poisoned. With a little practice, and a moderate amount of patience, hubbies measuring vight or tin Inches in diameter may he produced, and even larger ones if the lungs be refill, and. The pipe, of course, should he held steadily, and the breath forced into tire bubble evenly. In order to watch a bubble carefully, we may wish to supnort it in some way. A common table gobtet will make a good stand if its edge is first dipped into melted paraffin or well soaped, which prevents It from cutting into the fil’n.

ALL MADE HOME RUNS * . FLIGHT OF KNIGHTSTOWN BALL PLAYERS FROM PENDLETOX. ♦ Ran Away After Having Oeen Arrested for Violating tlie Sunday Law —Other Indiana New*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PENDLETON, Ind., Sept. 5.-This afternoon about seven hundred people witnessed the best game of ball of the season between Knightstown and Pendleton. The former won by a score of 10 to 9. All the players were arrested for violating the Sunday laws. The complaints were made by local opponents to Sunday baseball and were issued by Justice Benefice. Constable John Lewark served the writs during the sixth inning. The game was played out and then the players in a body marched to the courtroom and demanded a trial. While a jury was being empaneled the Knightstown boys took leg bail for home, and now the cases are set for trial on Wednesday morning next. Officers will probably go after the Knightstown players. A. M. E, Conference. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. s.—Many of the pulpits of the Protestant churches were occupied to-day by delegates to the Indiana Conference of the A. M. E. Church. Bishop Arnett was at the colored church, where there was a great outpouring of the colored population, hundreds being unable to gain admission to the church. It is announced that Prof. B. W. Arnett, jr., son of the bishop, has been transferred to the Indiana Conference. Mrs. Lucy Thurman, who is national superintendent of the work among the negroes of the W. C. T. U., addressed the conference, and said among other things that she was opposed to officers of the church using liquor. The following elders were ordained to-day: W. H. Taylor, B. W. Arnett, jr., J. H. Hardiman, William Kelly ■ and L. E. Christy. Thomas White was ordained deacon. At the meeting of the Women’s Missionary Society it was reported that $204 had been collected during the year. The several presiding elders of the State made their reports last night, showing that their districts were in good condition. The Revs. H. H. Thompson, A. L. Murray and M. Lewis were elected trustees for the conference.

Change of Pastors. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, Ind., Sept. s.—Dr. J. H. Hollingsworth, pastor of the Collegeavenue M. E. Church here, preached his farewell sermon to-day, closing four years of earnest and successful work. He will be succeeded by Rev. Will H. Wise. of Lafayette, a graduate of De Pauw University. Dr. Hollingsworth will go to the conference at Lebanon and will probably be given a presiding eldership. Dr. D. M. Wood, who has been in charge of the Greencastle district, will also retire, as his full term has been filled. He will probably be assigned to a pastorate in northern Indiana. A large delegation of ministers and De Pauw professors will leave to-morrow and Tuesday for Lebanon, where the sessions of the conference will be especially mteresting on account of the general shaking up of appointments and large number of changes, both in pastorates and districts. School Ma’am Killed While Cycling. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Sept. s.—ldella Davis, a young woman school teacher, fell from her wheel in front of a street car and received injuries from which she died a few hours later. She had but recently learned to ride, and when she found a buggy coming toward her without room to pass it she tried to cross the car tracks in front of an approaching car. The wheels caught in the track and she fell. Miss' Davis graduated from the high school two years ago, and has been preparing herself to be a teacher. She had just secured a school in the country, and had bought the wheel to ride to and from the school. Cars to Be Hauled l>y Horses. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ind., Sept. s.—To-morrow morning the Pennsylvania line will begin making temporary repairs on the Evansville & Richmond Railway, in order to get out forty-five of its cars, which are located on sidetracks between Seymour and Bedford. Trestles of only sufficient strength will be built to carry the empty box cars, and the cars will be moved by horses. To make repairs so that an engine could pass over the road would cost the company too much, and therefore it has employed enough teams to do the work Motocycles and Horses May Race. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Sept. s.—The horseless carriage owned by a firm in this city is making a remarkable record in the Eastern States. Last week the Kokomo motocycle won first honors in a contest in Boston over a large field. Thursday the same vehicle went in a race at Worcester, Mass., and won handily, making the mile in the very fast time of 2:06 on a regulation track. The carriage is propelled by a gasoline motor and is noiseless. There is talk of putting the motocyele in races against the fastest pacing and running horses. Negro Shot by a Conductor. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 5.—A shooting affray occurred here late lost night, in which William Lewis, colored, and Michael Meagan, a conductor on the Cincinnati division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, were the principals. While Meagan was on his way home Lewis approached him masked, and when ordered to not come nearer paid no attention to the warning, as a result of which Meagan shot him. The w'ound is not serious. Meagan is out on SSOO bond. Quarterly Meeting of Friends. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PENDLETON, Ind., Sept. s.—The Indiana quarterly meeting of Friends was held here yesterday and to-day. There were visitors from all parts of the United States. William D. Foulke, of Richmond, and William Jackson, of Washington, D. C., made eloquent addresses at the Friends’ meeting house this morning. About eight hundred people were in attendance. Mason Not Seriously Hurt. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PENDLETON, Ind., Sept. 5. Benjamin Mason, the man who was knocked senseless with a brick thrown by William Jones, as reported this morning, is again on the streets, none the worse for the bout save a disfigurement of the face. Mason is from Eiwood, instead of Alexandria. He was senseless nearly all night. Jones has been charged with drunkenness and assault and battery with intent to kill. Dropped Dead at Bull Park. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART, Ind., Sept. 5.—C. V. Crane, aged twenty-eight years, town clerk of Whiting, Ind., and reporter of the Whiting Daily News, came here with an excursion to-day to witness a game of bail and just as he was entering the ball grounds he fell dead from heart disease, the attack being brought on by the extreme heat. The remains were taken to Whiting on the returning excursion train. Indiana Aote*. The bottle factories in Eiwood and Frankton resume work to-day, giving employment to 250 hands. The Eiwood wfindow-glass factory starts Thursday, the employes having reached an agreement satisfactory to all. Rev. Z. T. Sweeney, of Columbus, addressed a crowd estimated at 2,000 at the Washington county annual meeting of the Christian Church at Candon yesterday. The Howard county fair at Kokomo this week will have ‘‘Divirte Healer” August Schrader and his bride as an attraction. Lady Anderson, the “guideless wonder, ’ will pace to beat her record of 2:O6Vi. “Harrison Time*-” Again. New York Mail and Express. Mr. D. Shipley and J. W. Leek, president and superintendent, respectively, of the Specialty Carriage Company,, of Cincinnati, 0., registered at the rooms of th association this morning. Mr. Leek said: "During the administration of President Harrison our establishment, as well as other industrial interests, were enjoying prosperity almost, if not quite, unparalleled in the history of the country. Workingmen as well as those engaged in financial and commercial pursuits realize this more fully when they look hack upon it from the depths of this depression in which we have been floundering for the lat four

years. There was no escape from it. We had to patiently wait until the Republican party rescued us from misrule. No person, unless he is an Anarchist or a ealamityite, will deny that the country is prospering. The excellent condition ot the country makes an inducement for financiers to invest their capital profitably, while employes and labor are well paid. "I attribute this revival to the McKinley administration more than to the agricultural conditions of the country. Confidence was restored immediately after the good news was sent broadcast that the Popocrats had met with defeat. Manutacturers knew that they would have a steady hand on the lever that guides the vast business interests of the country, and began at once to make preparations to start treir idle industries. There is a general resumption of factories and mills everywhere. Had the country remained in the state of depression which characterized it during the last four years it is my belief that the agricultural interests of our country would have remained dormant, no matter how large the crops nor how great the foreign demand. The resumption of our industries was the genuine forerunner of good times. Ml SIC ST CPI ABROAD. French Do Not Indemtiind the True Art of Teaching. F. G. Thomas, in the Independent. It is the manner of young things to move by bounds and to exaggerate feeling. Convinced that Europe possessed what they did not, piqued by the fact, and determined to change it, our musical educators have come to Europe in bands of earnest pilgrims, to see what it was they lacked, and, if possible, to acquire it. With keen, trained intelligence they have gone to the root of the matter in essential points with remarkable ease, marking and leaving the false, choosing the good, gathering valuable observations, and studying like beavers without cease or respite to overcome deficiencies. We have in America incessant musical reading, recitals, conversations, lectures, clubs, societies and schools, uniting in musical research and advancement. The musical activity in America Is one of the most remarkable art features that has ever blessed a country. Not a foreign artist crosses the ocean who is not astonished at the condition of musical art in the country and at the strong musical instinct among our people. This activity Is unknown in Europe, where tradition, conventionality and self-sufficiency abound. With that, our race is a race of teachers. Our schools have been the lighthouses of our civilization and our mothers have been teachers from pure love of it. There is no member of any nation who is so capable of making known to another what he himself knows as the American. Our teachers need the broad and extended enlightenment of national musical interestnational schools, national operas, broadcast music. They lack musical food—which is fast coming to them—hut what they do know’ they can impart with more skill than any other people. They have the special teaching gift as a race, an advantage rarely found abroad. Another advantage ever held up in favor of coming abroad is the “prestige” to be thus gained for home use. The American track, of the last five years even, Is covered with burnt sticks of artist fireworks, native and foreign, that have been thrown up by Europe before credulo is American eyes, and that have come down with a sparkless thud before their straightforward discrimination. “Has she made, will she make a success in America?” is being asked all over Europe to-day—to-day —already! “We go to Paris to study French among the people and acting among the great actors,” are others of the Glam<j#r legends. There is not an acting school in the whole city of. Paris to-day—not one—except that in the Conservatoire, and that one foreigners are not able to enter. French! Over fifty years of pilgrimage to Paris to learn to speak and sing French! Not one pupil in all that time has been sent out of the city who could either speak or sing one French phrase acceptably, not one, owing to the lack of educational capability in a race who cannot teach even so simple a thing as to speak the language they spenk. That by some occult slight-of-hand performance' pupils, by merely residing in France, should be transformed into musicians, has been propagated to the present; and, although the most difficult of false ideas to renounce, it, too, is dissolving as wool packs in a summer sky. There is in Paris the remnant of pure art spirit, the best, the strongest, the most Grecian of all the remnants that have survived the commercial invasion of modern civilization. It exists among the Frenchreal French—and is hidden, as are almost all the really valuable French qualities, under a brushwood of modesty, ignorance of the world and of modern movement, exclusiveness and inherent “inwardness,” a quality of the true artist everywhere. This pure germ, buried as it is, the last people on earth to discover would be the hasty, self-seeking, superficial .American students. Even with clever and disinterested guidance, it would require years of ripening to prepare them for the revelation, and then they would not value it. Added to this, these pupils when they come to Paris bury themselves in studios generally of foreigners. There they come face to face with the blank wall of individual autocracy. “Do as I do.”— “Do as I do.”— “Do as 1 tell you to do."—“Do as I say. I—l—l—l am Moses and the Prophets. Behold In me the one spokesman of art.” With that command the pupils come. They huddle together in American pensions, face to face with each other, turning over and over their American ideas and becoming every day more set and convinced in un-art. They do not meet, do not mingle with, do not observe, do not appreciate the French spirit, and the French have none of our modern means of making themselves observed and appreciated. The influence of Parisian art on the spirit ready to receive it is one of the most elevating, Invigorating, solidifying art influences on earth. American pupils do not get it. If they did they would learn to know and to value the ideas of growth and perfection, both of which are sealed books to them as students first and as professionals afterward.

MORE ABOUT THE GOLD FIELDS. Information lty a Man Who Spent Six Year* in Alaska. Prof. Wm. Healey Dali, in the Forum. Ordinary woolen clothing for the body, and leather hoots for the feet, are of course utterly unsuitable, and can be worn only at serious risk when traveling. Indian snowshoes are essential; the Norwegian variety worthless. As the season advances the snow settles, and al night a firm crust forms. The most favorable months for traveling are March and April. The midwinter days are short, with sunlight in some latitudes from 10 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon. When necessary, one can travel fairly well by starlight and moonlight over the snowy tundra, but not in the woods. In May the snow is wet and heavy, and travel difficult. Pools of water and the first mosquitoes then begin to appear. Bv May 20 the river bursts its bonds of ice and floods the lowlands; ice, debris and broken timber pouring, with a grinding noise, headlong toward the sea. For at least a week navigation is impossible. Summer, swift-footed, trips upon the heels of winter. The sun pours down with a violence not soon forgotten, though in the shade it is always cool. The cry of the brant, northward hound, is continually heard, and myriads of smaller waterfowl appear on every hand. All the minor forms of life, native to the region or migrants from the south, with startling suddenness, people the copses and pervade the air. Vegetation springs into leaf and flowers at a bound; and, with hardly a hint of spring, summer is upon us. Mosquitoes, the pest of the north, appear in clouds. Except in midstream, or where a brisk breeze is blowing, life without a net and leather gloves is miserv. The Indians smear their faces with a mixture of grease and charcoal, and paddle with a smudge on a square of turf in the bows of their birch canoes. The caribou, moose, and bear, driven from the thickets, plunge into the river for a temporary respite. Curiously enough, during the three summers, black flies and midgee, so plentiful to the eastward, were encountered only once on the Yukon; possibly, near its headwaters, our luck would have been worse. The records show’ that the lower Yukon valley has a summer temperature much in excess of that normal to the latitude. As the days are long, the traveler will prudently sleep at noon, and utilize for his work the cooler hours when the sun sweeps low along the northern horizon and the mosquitoes are less active. Frosts appear in mid-September. Early In October the Y’ukon begins to be covered with ice; though it is not fully icebound until late in November. So the round is completed. One serious danger menaces the large population now pouring into the district. The upper Yukon is a country where subsistence has always been difficult. The first party which ever reached it—that under Robert Campbell, of the Hudson Bay Company, who named the Peily river—though composed of seasoned voyagers—was, if tradition be reliable, forced to support life by cannibalism before it could reach help In 1866 not more than three hundred Indians were able to find subsistence between Fort Y'ukon and Fort Selkirk. The abundant fish and game of the low’er Yukon are absent. The river steamers available for transportation cannot, during the remainder of the present season, carry up to Dawson City much more food than will supply its present population. It seems improbable than any large proportion of the people now hurrvlng over the Ohilcat portage can transport—ls indeed they possess—food enough to carry them over the winter and up to the arrival of summer supplies from the lower Y’ukon Very serious hardships, and even probable starvation, therefore, confront tin*

rash and foolhardy, who push forward without proner supplies into a region whose limitations they do not realize. For-* tunately, it is likely that many of those least prepared for the undertaking will never get over the divide, and will be obliged to remain in southeastern Alaska, where the rush to Klondike will have left open many opportunities for employment. Were it otherwise, tho coming winter and spring would prohahlv furnish material tor tragedy. Even as it is, the circumstance a offer ground for very grave apprehensions. Cutting the Kaiser’* Comb. Philadelphia Record. Two matters with respect to this year's Sedan day are of interest and significance. The diminution of fervor In the celebration of the day in Germany was especially noticeable. The Kaiser's assiduous advertisement of the superlative importance of his family in the achievement of German greatness has apparently had an effect upon the nation quite opposite to that which was intended. It seems that the German people have realized that they have had national heroes besides the members of the house of Hohenzollorn and that there have been memorable events In the history of Germany other than those with which the Kaiser has so persistently associated hls grandfather to the exclusion of everybody else. Too much insistance uj>on a single theme by the Kaiser has evidently staled the German appetite for military glory. But this lukewarmness towards the Kaiser is not the only Sedan-day straw which shows the way the wind blows. Germany's decision to take re. official notice of Premier Meline's message sent to tha Alsace-Lorraine Society and expressing a hope of a reunion of the lost provinces with the French Republic, emphasizes rather than diminishes the significance of the French prime minister’s action. Germany would not, without grave reason, permit the prime minister of France, without reproof or challenge, to thus publicly encourage an association whose aspirations, from the German view point, are treasonable and seditious. Is it possible that the chancellerie at Berlin knows that the hopes raised by the Russian alliance In France are justified. and that a policy in favor of the restitution of the conquered provinces would be supported by Russia? A Traveling I nlversity. | Chicago Post. Although we have faithfully endeavored to study out the glorious plans of John Brisben Walker’s new university we must confess our entire inability to put it on a practical basis. We are told to-day that Dr. Andrews has accepted the presidency, and Mr. Walker mysteriously assures us that "the headquarters of the university will be wherever Dr. Andrews may be.’* This is interesting but puzzling. Are we to infer that Dr. Andrews is going to carry the university about wfith him? Is he to be a second Socrates, and are the students to trail after him whether he discourses in tho agora or spends a social evening’ at tho hospitable mansion of Mrs. Aspasia? Os course such a university w’ould be a novelty in our generation, and we can picture with delight the students of the new university sitting in a drawing room car on the Old Colony Railroad listening to Dr. Andrew* as he unveils the sacred mysteries of 16 to 1 and lectures on the immortality of tho soul in conjunction with the free and unlimited coinage of silver. We fancy that under the new’ system tuition will be cheap, but mileage will be somewhat expensive, for when a man is carrying a university around in his clothing it will tax the resources of the seekers after truth to keep up with the change of base. We have tho greatest confidence, however, in Mr. Walker’s philanthropy and business wisdom, and we presume that he will request Dr. Andrews to settle down and not carry the university off to New’ York or Boston any oftener than is absolutely necessary. Wo await further particulars with interest.

Must Marry or Be Taxed. 1 St. Louis Republic. The. population of Argentina has shown a rapid decline from year to year. In order to check the decrease the government has been considering all sorts of propositions. Finally a law was passed which is both unique and forceful. This law has been in operation since Jan. 1, and under its provisions offenders are severely punished. Young men and women are not permitted to refuse an offer of marriage, and. as women may propose in Argentina as well as men, the latter have as little excuse for not marrying as the fair sex. The special clause of the marriage paragraph reads as follows: “Peoplo of marriageable age of either spx who refuse an offer to wed without reasons which are considered valid in law shall not be permitted to marry thereafter without the permission of the government. They shall, moreover, pay an indemnity sum of not more than SSOO to the person whose offer they have refused.” Up to the twentieth year men and women are allowed to dispose of themselves; after that, if they have not chosen a state of celibacy, they come under the provisions of the new law and remain so up to their twenty-eighth vear. Men who are not married wben they are twenty are required to pay a heavy tax, and this tax does no-t abate until the day of their marriage. It does seem as if a handsome living could be made in the republic of Argentina out of judicious proposing on the part of young men and women who are shrewd enough to pick out the proper parties.
