Vanoouvkii, Jnlr 10. Thero la great oxclto
went In British Columbia owing to tho fact thnt
Canadians aro making nothing out ot tho fabu
lous finds In their own country. LIto Ameri
can! have been the pioneers In the Canadian
Yukon as well as at Kootenai.
Prominent men and tho press aro demanding
that the Dominion OoTcmmcnt place customs
offlcUls at the Canadian passes. At present
Americans aro paying no dntr. and nro getting
tbelr (roods in Seattle and other American towns,
to the great loss ot British Columbia.
The climax was renchod to-day when Mr.
Percy, a wholesalo merchant of Victoria, organ
lied a company In an hour which guaranteed to
raise 930,000. The company then wired tho
Dominion Ooremmsnt:
"We will (tiro tho Dominion Government
950,000 a year for ton years and pay all ex
penses for tha privilege of collooUng- tho legal
customs at the Canadian passes."
This would bo an added hardship to the stal
wart American pathfinders. The Canadian In
dians now charge fl a pound for fording lakes
In Alaska and n year's supply of nrub per man
must bo got Into tho country In sumo way as an
assuranco against starvation.
The Government will no doubt be forced to
accede to tho clamors of tha British Colum
bians and tho trade will bo diverted to Canada.
Ottawa, July 10. Tho Dominion Government
Is being urged to appoint customs officers at tho
chief points in the Yukon country, as thero Is
none there now, and all goods coming in from
the United States escape duty. Tho merchants
ot Victoria, B. CI, regard this as an injustlcoto
them.
Information has been received hero ot tho
highest importance in regard to the rout to ths
Yukon Tla tho White Pass. The United States
traders aro beginning to rc&lUo that tho White
Pass Is sow open to the world and is the short
est route to tho upper Yukon.
A firm at Juneau, Alaska, has contracted for
the carriage ot forty tons ot freight and tho
passage ot a flock of 800 sheep through tho pass.
This will require the use of at least 400 pack
horses and It will settle thoqnestton as to which
Is the best pass through tho ranges. It Is ex
pected that the passago from Juneau to Klon
dike will be made in two weeks, as against threo
or tour weeks by the American route.
Both tho Chllkoot and White Passes aro prac
tically on the boundary between the United
States and Canadian territories. They are
In the tame latitude and are only twenty
or thirty miles apart. After reaching the
head ot navigation, the Juneau parties
bound for the Yukon turn west through
the mountains by Chllkoot Pass. If they used
I the White Pass they would turn east and cir-
cumTent the mountains on the east side. The
, White Pass has not been utilized by our mining
parties, the ChOkoot being the usual route, and
the Chllkat Pass, further north, being used to a
touch less extent.

Sax Francisco, July 10. The Klondike fever
stfll rages here, and all the newspapers devote
from a page to a page and a half to the stories
of returned miners and talks in regard to routes
to the new gold Holds. Still the fear ot starra
tlon Js so strong as to discourage all but the
mast reckless from venturing upon tho trip.
As many as 000 people have applied to the
Alaska Commercial Company for information
In regard to the passage by way of St. Michael
and Yukon Hirer, but only fifty tickets have
been sold. The North American company have
not sold any tickets yet. Experts wno have
travelled over the Juneau route declare that It
Is a shame to Induce Eastern peoplo to come out
here and go over that route to the Klondike
mines at this season.
When the snow Is off tho ground no one can
carry more than seventy-flve pounds, and it Is
utterly Impossible to carry food enough to
maintain a man for more than two or three
months. The Indians aro also few In number
and not to be depended upon in any emergency,
for after they have mado a little money they
will not do any additional work.
for the last three years several local and
English companies have been studying the lay
of the land between Chllkatand Clrclo City with
a view to establishing and quiokcr a more practi
cable way of transportation to the gold fields
along the Yukon. Goodall, Perkins & Co. have
made a thorough investigation of the matter.
Capt. Charles M. Goodall said to-day:
"The rich find in the Klondike district will
probably result In somo hotter means ot trans
portation, though the roughness of the country
and tho limited opon season will not justify
anybody In building a railroad for any dis
tance. Recently we sent several hundred
sheop and cattle to Juneau, and from there
to the head of navigation by the steamor
Alkl. Mr. Dal ton, who dlscoverod the trail
across the country from tho Chllkat River to
Fort Selkirk, Is taking livo stock to tho mines.
His route lios from tho head of navigation
through Chllkat Pass and along tho trail,
which Is over prairie sevoral hundred miles,
to the Yukon River, near Fort Selkirk. At this
time of year tho pralrlo Is clear and bunch grass
grows on It in abundance.
"I believe this will ultimately be the popular
route. Poople could go ovor it In wagons, as the
prairie Is level. Stations could be established,
as was dono on our plains in '40. It would be
easy to go down tho Yukon in boats from where
Dalton's trail strikes It to Dawson City and
other mining camps.
"The plan to build a traction road over Chllkat
Pass from Tyoo, the bead of navigation nftor
leaving Juneau, to Lake LInderman, Is not a
good business proposition. It haabocn talked of,
and the rest of the plan Is to have steamers to
ply from Lake LInderman through the other
lakes to the Yukon. Hut to do this two portages
would have to be made on account of the falls
in the river, and theso would bo enormously
expensive.
"A British company has bad In contemplation
for some time the construction of a railroad
from the head of navigation on Taku Inlet, near
Juneau, to Teslln, or Aklcne Lake, and thence
down some small rivers to the Yukon and the
mines. Even by this route there would benoed
of portages. The natural way to take in freight,
unless tho hurry be great, Is by St. Michael and
up the Yukon. To establish even a wagon road
orer Dalton's Trail on the prairie, a railroad
over the divide from Tyoa to Lake LInderman,
or a railroad as planned by the English company,
concessions would havo to bo secured from the
British Government."

Alaska bring nows of tho exodus ot miners and
business men from Juneau to tho number ot 250,
and from all accounts tho fever bids fair to carry
away nearly overy able-bodied man In the place
so Intent has tho excitement over the new dis
coveries on the Klondike become.
AtTroadwoll mtno, on Douglass Island, COO
miners havo glvon notlco to tho superintendent
of their Intention to throw up their positions
and go to tho Klondike, and by reason of this
there is going to bo a scarcity ot miners In tho
quarts mines in southeastern Alaska.
Tho loss ot one of the largest steamboats ot
the Alaska Company on tho Yukon River is
reported. This will crlpplo operations some
what this season, keeping out from 1,000 to
1,600 tons of provisions. This would have gone
a very long ways toward tiding the miners ovor
the winter.
Tho now steamers aro now nearing comple

up this week for another.
Thoro is no abatement of tho Klondike tover
in Seattle and it appoars to bo extending all over
the Northwest. Hundreds are being liberally
grub-staked and experienced minors are in
active demand. From $500 to $000 is given
them and they share halt their finds.
The steamer Moxlco is now In harbor, and will
take her place on tho regular Alaska line this
week. The Quoeu will also sail for Alaska in tho
latter part of tho week. The Portland has post

TUB MOTHER LODE
Has the Backbone of California's Geld Fields
Been Serenled far North t
Redding, CaL, July 10. This town and the
surrounding country are much stirred up over
nows ot a valuable discovery of quartz near
Hall City, Trinity county, which seems to indi
cate that tho genuine mother lode, which had
not been found further north than El Dorado
county, has been discovered hero.
It this proves to be a fact, it will bo tho most
Important mineral discovery in California in
twenty years, and It will lead to Immodlate
prospecting of the whole region. The quarts
found assays $15 to tho ton, and can be worked
for $0 per ton
Mr. JosephJ. Chambers, a prominent eltlxen
here, who 11 Interested in the mines at Hall
City, arrived from there yesterday. Ue describes
the discovery and the incident that led to it as
follows:
" W. R. nail. ex-Clerk of Tehama county, who
owns the best-developed mine in that section,
was seated with T. G. Harrison, another mine
owner, near a roaster formerly In nse at Hall's
mines when Harrison picked up one of the drag
rocks and declared that he saw gold In It. It
was mashed up and was found to yield color.,
nail knew where the rock came from, and.'
going to the spot they found more rock of
the same character, watch, when assayed, went
$15 to the ton. Upon Investigation, similar
rock was found throughout a belt ot 600
feet, and outcropplngs of this broad formation
were frequent. After locating a number of
claims along ths best part of the lead the dis
coverers Informed their neighbors on last Mon
day afternoon, and prospectors throughout that
vicinity flockod toward the new find.
AH night prospectors were outstaklng claims,
and in forty-eight hours over ten miles of tho
supposed mother lode were located. By many
experienced mining men It Is believed that the
mother lodo will be discovered here. For many
this is not a surprise.
Hall City and Harrison Gulch have doveloped
numerous rich mines during the past fourteen
months, and a general dissection of tho leads
bod Induced many to bellevo that the mother lode
exists there. Hall City Is In the extreme south
east portion of Trinity county, and communica

So Cor. Bradley Declare ia Announcing His
Parson or Negro Binning,
FrUKKronT, Ky July 10-Gov. Bradley to
night made publlo a statement announcing why
he had granted a pardon to George Dinning,
tho negro who was convicted recently and sen
tenced to seven years in Jail for shooting Jody
Conn, who with a mob had come to his bouse at
midnight and ordered him to leave. Dinning
was guarded by soldiers during bis trial at
Franklin. The Governor says:
"In a day or two after the killing Dlnnlngs
house was burned. No Indictment was ever
returned against any member of the band or
against any ono who burnedthe house, and
tho Grand Jury indicted Dinning mainly upon
tho evidence of self-confessed outlaws. The
conviction Is easily accounted for. Ills con
viction was procured almost entirely on the
evidence of his would-be assassins, and yet
when he asked who they were, they answerud,
through tbelr disguised leader and In a dis
guised voice, that they were his friends.
"It is not reasonablo to suppose Dinning,
with a shotgun, would have firotf upon twenty
flvo armed men, except In caso of cxtromo
necessity und when he had been previously fired
upon. This poor and friendless man, sur
rounded by his wife and six children, was or
dored, without warrant of law, to leave his llt
tlo home, after which ho was fired on and
wounded. He defended btmsolf, as every
dictate of reason and humanity demanded and
justified. lie did no moro than any other roan
should or would do. Instead of a convlot's
gurb, he Is entitled not only to acquittal, but
entitled to tho nilmlratlou of overy citizen who
loves good government and desires the per

'Too long havo mobs disgraced tho fair
name of Kentucky, and while I am Governor
of tills Commonwealth no man, howovcr ob

STATE COMMITTEE, HVSHI
BomecraUe Programme to Keep Qnlet on the
silver lesne. ,
Chairman Elliot Danforth ot the Democratlo
State Committee returned yesterday from
Long Branch, where he had talked with ex
Senator Hill, Senator Murphy, and other Demo
crats In charge of State affairs. As a result of
tho conference at Long Branch on Sunday Chair
man Danforth said tbat the Democratlo State
Committee at Its meeting in Sestember cannot
have anything to do cither with indorsing or
disapproving the national platform adopted at
Chicago in 1896 and reafflrmed at Buffalo a
couple of months later. Chairman Danforth
pointed out tbat by the terms of the Buffalo
convention tho 8tate Committee was em
powered to nominate a Chief Judge for Court
ot Appeals, and he sold that his friends at Long
Branch had declared on Sunday that tholState
Committee hod no power to go further.
Chairman Donforth's utterances indicated
that Mr. Hill and Senator Murphy had come
to some understanding as to the nomination
ot Judge John Clinton Gray to bo Chief Judgo
of the Court of Appeals. It was said a month
ago, when Judge Gray's namo was mentioned
for this place, that Mr. mil could not control
tho Democratlo State Committee, and all steps
leading to a coalition with tho Republicans
on this subject were abandoned. They havo
been revived.
After tho talk that Mr. Hill and Mr. Murphy
have had it has been decided to sink the na
tional issue in the Democratic- State Commit
tee, and it an understanding can be reached
with tho Republicans, Judgo Gray, who Is now
away in Europe, Is to bo nominated by both
committees, Democratlo and Republican, to be
Chief Judgo of the Court of Appeals. He is to
resign. It was sold, if the programme can bo
carried out, thirty days before election day, and
Gov. Black is to name in his place as an Asso
ciate Judge of the Court ot Appeals somo Re
publican; upon whom the two committees con
unite.
It was ascertained that Senator Piatt and
Benator Murphy have bad a number of Interest
ing conversations concerning this matter in
Washington, and that it now appears that the
proposed programme concerning Judgo Gray
may bo carried out,

wnloder, who married his housemaid, Bridget
Mary Ryan, on last Thursday, has returned
irom a unci unaai trip, lie maae some com
ments on his marriage to reporters to-day. Ho
said:
"The world has always known tbat I am no
snob, and my popularity with my friends is only
strengthened by my marriage. I havo haa many
letters of congratulation from the very best peo
plo hero. My marriage has proved what I bavo
alwsyB wanted tho world to know that I am
ono of the poople, Interested In the peoplo's
welfare, and, while family Is all right in its way,
I am proud of my position with ths everyday
people, and my course has strengthened me In
their esteem. I shall always remain one ot the
people, and be Identified with popular move
ments, but at tbo same time I slull demand for
my wife a high social position, and no ono will
dare deny her."
The doctor looked happy, and said he felt
happy, and bad reason to be happy. He says ho
expects to mako fow changes In nls qutet modo
of life. The old house will not be changed any,
and no special reception will be given to intro
duce bis bride. The doctor expressed gratifica
tion to find his old friends calling to offer tbelr
best wishes, and family objections, he added, did
not bother him In the least.
"I am satisfied with my course," he said once
again, "and proud that I have demonstrated
that I nro no snob.
Tho doctor has received a heavy mall laden
with congratulations. Including an enlstle from
an ex-Mayor of Omaha who was with him in
the war.
Ono communication was signed " One ot the
Ryane." It assured the doctor that union of a
Itynn with a Cadwalader was an honor to the
Cadwalader side, as the Ityans of Tlpperary are
well known for their ancient lineage, and in
John O'iUrt's " Irish Pedigrees" a standard
authority ou tho subject tne genealogy of the
Ityans of .Tlpperary is traced with honor and
credit back to tho early Kings ot Ireland, and
was classed with all that Is noblo and good In
Irish history.
As to Mrs. Cadwalader's position in society,
tho doctor gives out this ultimatum:
"As to my wife, hor position Is established,
and 1 will regard it as a personal affrontand In
suit if any one should question It. if a slight
wits offered personally, I would resent It and de
maud an apology. There can be no doubt of ber
reception,"

London, July 10. Tho Government has finally
boon compelled to yield to prossuro, and there
will be a parliamentary discussion of the affairs
of the British South Africa Company, which
herotoforo tho Govornment appeared deter
mined toburko.
Lato this evening tho credit for tho expensos
of tbo Colonial Ofllco was brought forward in
tho Houso of Commons, and Mr. Hugh Arnold
Forstor, Unionist, who represents tho West
Division of Bolfau, mode a spirited onslaught
on the Govornment for Its action In attempting
to prevent tho Houbo from discussing the subject
referred to.
His remarks elicited cheers from the Opposi
tion. Ho accused tho Government of sharp
practlcoin submitting tho voto at such a late
hour as to prevent a discussion of South
African affairs, which It ought to In
volve. For two years, he declared, tho
Government had pursuod a deliberate policy of
concealment, and was now trying to shelve tho
second part of the South African Inquiry by
holding a consultation during tho recess with
the directors of the company. Sir Alfred
Mllnor, the Governor of Cape Colony, and
othor Capo authorities. A majority of
the directors wore, according to tho
South Africa Commlttoo's report, unacquainted
with tho subject, while tho minority had abused
the confidenco placed In them and had acted in
a manner that was notoriously contrary to the
public Interest.
The speaker proceeded to mako a vehement
attack on Mr. Rhodes and the company, tho
predominant factor In tho policy of which had
been money. The company had taken away the
cattlo of the Mashonas, had compolled the na
tives to work under conditions that were equiva
lent to slavery, and had generally degradod the
fair name of tho country.
Mr. Arthur J. Balfour, the Government leader
in the House, made an inoffecttvo reply to Mr.
Arnold-Forster.
Sir William Vernon-Harcourt, the Liberal
leader, asked that an opportunity be provided
to discuss South African affairs bofore a vote on
the credit should bo taken.
Mr. Balfour consented, stipulating, however,
that the matter be raised on a speclfio resolution.
Mr. Philip J. Stanhope, Liberal member from
Burnley, gave notlco tbat he would move a
resolution deprecating tho Inconclusive action
and report ot tho South Africa Committee,
especially its failure to recommend speclfio
stops regarding Mr. Rhodes and to report the
refusal of Mr. nawksley to produce certain tele
grams bofore the committee. Tho resolution, he
added, would also demand that Mr. Hawksley
bo summoned to the bar of tho Houso and com
pelled to produce tho telegrams.

Mr. Michael Day ltt in regard to tho ordering of

London, July 10. In the Houbo of Commons
to day Mr. Curzon said tbat the blockade of Crete
had not been formally raised. It was still kept

tion of arms and volunteers, but, except in this
respect, had been relaxed and was practically
Inoperative. ... , ., ,
Mr. Curzon added that there had beenodcclded
change in tho attitude ot the insurgent leaders
In Crete since nutonomy had become better
understood. There bad been no recent disorder
in the island. The withdrawal of the Turkish
troops from Crete had been anxiously pressed by
the British Government, but It would bo dan-
Krous to remove them before a Btibstituto could
found. They woro an element of order, and
not of disorder. , ,
In regard to tho negotiations for peace Mr.
Curzon said financial experts had been appointed
to determine the maximum indemnity Groece
was capable of paring. ,,..... ,
Sir Charles lillke deelarod that tho powers
maintenance of peace bad not boen of much
credit to tbom. for tno reason mat peace naa
never been endangered, Greece, he said, had
been fighting in the causo of western civiliza
tion, and Lord Salisbury bad allowed her to be
crushed. Consequently English lnflucnco in
the Levant hud suffered. ....
Sir Ellis Ashmead Uartlett afforded the usual
amusement to tho House by expressing regret
at the tone ot the languago used toward tho
Sultan, who, ho said, had proved Turkey's value
as an ally. Lord Beaconstleld, he added, had
not backed tho wrong horse.
