To Be President of Gotham's Repub
lican Club
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.7—Chauncey M.
Depew was elected president of the
Republican club of New York at a meet
ing of that organisation tonight. In
accepting the position, Mr. Depew said:
"The conditions upon this annual
meeting make my elevation to a posi
tion of president of the club one of pe
culiar significance and gratification. The
differences In our party are more acute
and intense than they have been In a
quarter of a century. They found ex
pression at the polls at the last election,
and ore culminating in hostile organisa
tions. The Republicans of New York are
Dot alone in these troubles. They are
found in Ohio, Maryland and other
states. All these warring elements are
I oonaplououaly and ably represented in
That they should have united
gestlons and prophetic promises of hap
pier times for the future. It demon
strates that Republicans can get to
gether, and when the crisis is sufficient
ly marked they will discover a method
of party unity and party harmony."

Special to The Herald.
OTTAWA, Ont., Jan. 17.—The Domin
ion government has promulgated the
amended regulations regarding placer
mining In the Canadian Yukon.
The followlns summary of the most
Important provisions covers the changes
made:
Every miner and every employe of a
mine will be required to take out a
miner's certificate, the fee for which will
be $10. In the case of a company it will
be $50 or $100, according to the amount
of capital stock. A miner's license will
confer a right to mine, fish, hunt and to
cut timber necessary for mining. Pro
vision for obtaining miners' certificates
will be made at a number of cities and
towns in Canada.
The general size of the mining claims
will be 250 feet; discoverers' claims, 500
feet. Every alternate ten claims shall be
reserved by the government of Canada,
which may dispose of the same by pub
lic auction.
Sub-aqueous mining leases will be Is
sued In flve-mtle sections, with a fee of
$100 per mile per annum, and the usual
royalty on the output of gold there
from.
The fee for recording and renewing
mining claims will be $15. Any number
of miners not less than five, who may be
located In a district more than 100 miles
distant from the office of a government
mining recorder, may appoint an acting
recorder, who may record claims, and
who shall, within three months, trans
fer his records and fees collected to the
nearest official mining recorder.
A royalty of 10 per cent on the gold
mined shall be levied and collected by
government officers appointed for the
purpose, but provision Is made for the
exemption on the annual product of any
mining claim up to $2500, so that claims
which do not produce more will not be
liable for royalty.
Provisions are made to prevent specu
lation in claims by throwing a claim
open to entry which has not been worked
for a certain number of days, unless
reasonable cause Is shown for failure
to work it, and others providing that a
record shall not be Issued for more than
one claim In the same locality to any
miner.
There are other provisions guarding
the public Interest, and at the same time
affording ample and appropriate facili
ties for mining the wealth of the Cana
dian Yukon.
MILLIONAIRE MINERS
SEATTLE, Jan. 17.—(8y the Asso
ciated Preßs.) Twenty persons arrived
here tonight from Dawson City on the
steamer Corona, bringing with them a
small amount of gold dust and drafts
on the North American Trading and
'Transportation company and the Alaska
Commercial company amounting to be
tween $800,000 and $1,000,000. In the
party was one woman. She is the sec
ond woman to come out this winter. The
amount of drafts brought down repre
sented the proceeds of sales of claims to
the Cudahy-Healy Yukon and Klondike
mining company and private parties.
The large Individual amounts were

In reference to the food situation at
Dawson tonight's arrivals corroborate
previous reports that while food Is
scarce, there will be no starvation.
They consider that It will be Impossible
to get a relief expedition In at this sea
son of the year. Relief expeditions-can
easily reach the foot of Lake Lebarge,
but the trouble will begin when the
Yukon river is reached. The Yukon Is
filled from shore to shore with great ice
ridges from ten to twenty feet high, the
Ice being thrown up in great blocks and
standing In all sorts of angles. Men with
dogs can make their way by hugging the
shore, but no amount of supplies can be
carried with dog teams. A roadway can
be cut through these ice ridges, but It
would require a large amount of money
and It Is doubtful If the work could be
completed before the Ice moved out of
the river in the spring.
The propesed use of reindeer In this

Heavy snow storms have occurred this
week on the Chllcoot pass and travel has
been practically Impossible for days at

THE REINDEER HERD
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—(8y Asso
ciated Press.) A telegram was received
at the war department today from Dr.
Jackson at Trondjhem, Norway, stat
ing that Mr. Kjellman was on his way
from the Interior with 600 fine reindeer,
which he had purchased, together with
a similar number of sleds and drivers.
The deer have all been dehorned, so that
they may be safely shipped.

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 17.—An agent of
the Canadian government named Lewis
Is organizing an expedition for the re
lief of the miners in the Yukon valley,
similar to the one undertaken by Shel

States government. Six Laplanders and
114 reindeer are already en route.
A RELIEF EXPEDITON
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—Arrange
ments for the departure of the govern
ment expedition to the Klondike are be
ing pushed. Under date of January 12th
Mr. Clifford Slfton, minister of the In
terior for Canada, wrote Assistant Sec
retary Meiklejohn as follows: "Refer
ring to the conversation which passed
betv»?en ur, on the subject of furnishing
an escort for your relief expedition, I
have given instructions that a sufficient
number of men be sent forward-to Ska
guay for the purpose, and I have no
doubt they will be awaiting the arrival
of your people on or before the first of
February. May I ask If you will be good
enough to advise me when your expedi
tion is expected to embark for Skaguay,
so that our arrangements may be made,
If possible, in accord?"
In answer to the inquiry from Mr.
Meiklejohn in regard to the exact situ
ation at Dawson, according to his re
ports, Mr. Slfton telegraphed the fol
lowing Saturday evening:
"Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 15.
"My reports Indicate no immediate
danger of starvation at Dawson, but
great necessity for distribution of pro
visions between Fort Selkirk and Skag
uay at various posts. Believe Ice formed
all way through. Our provisions are be
ing pushed down by horses and dogs.
Intend to keep supplies moving until
water opens In the spring, to avoid pos

HAVANA, Jan. 17.—That Spain is

methods of Weyler in dealing with Cuba
is no longer doubted here.
Gen. Blanco says that he is forced
by existing circumstances to suspend
further acts of clemency; that he has
become convinced that half of the Cuban
residents of Havana, Instead of accept
ing autonomy In the same good faith as
Spain offered it, continue their active
conspiracy, and that In view of these
facts he has determined in future to
act with energy.
Gen. Blanco also says that many of
the Cuban prisoners whom he had al
ready liberated on parole, have since
violated their pledges and are again In
the field in arms against Spain.
Gen. Gomez has Issued an address to
Spanish land holders and business men,
telling them their lives and property

A PLEA FOR FOOD
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—(8y Associated
Press.) Consul General Fltzhugh
Lee has cabled today from Havana to
United States Dispatch Agent Roosa In
this city, asking that more relief sup
plies be forwarded by the central Cuban
relief committee.
LEE'S REPORT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The State
Department heard from Consul-General
Lee about the closing hour this after
noon and gave out the following state
ment, as a summary of his cable:
"Consul-General Lee wires the De
partment of State that the delay in the
delivery of supplies brought by the
Concho a week ago, was due to the dis
turbances of the past few days In Ha
vana. The Vlllcienca, carrying supplies
from Philadelphia, arrived only today
and there will be no delay In the deliv
ery of supplies. He thinks there will
be no difficulty hereafter In landing sup
plies. He reports matters quiet at 12
o'clock.
"General Lee's cablegram was sent In
response to one addressed to him this
morning concerning reports that ob
stacles were being placed In the way
of the deliveries of supplies, and that
duties were being demanded onthese Im
portations, contrary to Spain's agree
ment In the matter."
The state department has taken offi
cial notice of complaints alleging that
the Spanish officials in Cuba had been
placing obstacles in the way of the free
admission of food and other supplies
sent to Cuba for the relief of the suffer
ing. While the officials believe there is
no solid foundation for these complaints
a cablegram has been sent to Gen. Lee
directing him to investigate their cor
rectness and if necessary prevent any
delay in the landing of supplies and
stores If it Is possible to do so. ,
The following statement was' issued
from the state department today: The
call having been made by the president
for money and supplies for the suffering
Cubans and some doubt seeming to
that money and supplies donated In f -
spouse to such call may not be honest,'jl*

A DISMAL PROSPECT
NEW YORK, Jan. 17. —A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says: Span
ish power in Cuba now rests on Its abil
ity to maintain order in Havana. Until
the government shows itself master of
the city, no other question can be con
sidered. Military operations against the
Insurgents are forgotten. Progress with
autonomy is a figment.
The turmoil seems ended for the pres
ent. The quiet of an armed truce pre
vails. The presence of 5000 or 6000 regu
lar troops gives promise that the calm
will last long enough for a review of the
prospects.
A single week has given Havana a
more vivid idea of what war Is than all
the events of three years of Insurrec
tion. The rioting has not been one of
destruction or bloodshed. Its purpose
was political. That may account for
the lack of bloody collisions between
the troops and the rioters. A dozen cav
alry onslaughts, frequent infantry at
tacks and countless bayonet charges on
the mob without any being killed—this is
a little short of marvelous, but It went
on In the streets of Havana for three
days and nights. It could not go on In
definitely without bloodshed.
The tact and forbearance with which
the authorities carried out their orders
undoubtedly have helped to bring the
government temporarily through the
crisis.
The authorities for a month have been
taking precautions against any hostile
demonstration of the Insurgents. They
did not expect that it would be encour
aged and precipitated by officers acting
under preconcerted plans. Until these
officers can be properly disciplined re
spectful government cannot be restored
and General Blanco does not seem pow
erful enough to cashier them.

The Immigration Bill Passed—The
Day in the House Devoted to
the Army Bill
Associated Press fjpect&l Wire
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The features
of today's proceedings in the senate
were the speech delivered by Senator
Wolcott of Colorado, chariman of the
bimetallic commission, upon the nego
tiation of the commission with European
countries relative to international bi
metallism, and the passage of the Lodge
bill restricting immigration Into the
United States. The proceedings were
the most interesting and important that
have characterized any single day's
work in the senate during the present
session. In anticipation of them the gal
leries were crowded at an early hour.
Quite unexpectedly Senator Hanna ap
peared at the opening of today's session.
Mr. Foraker, the senior senator from
Ohio, presented Mr. Hanna's creden
tials for the remainder of Mr. Sherman's
term, which will expire on March 4, 1899,
SENATOR WOLCOTT
and asked that the oath of office be ad
ministered to him. Mr. Foraker escorted
his colleague to the desk, where Vice
President Hobart administered the oath,
of office.
At the conclusion of the morning busi
ness Mr. Wolcott, at 12:50, was recog
nized to begin his address. He was in
fine voice and commanded the earnest
attention of his auditors. At the con
clusion of the speech Mr. Wolcott was
instantly surrounded by his Republican
colleagues, desirous of tendering to him
congratulations.
At the conclusion of Mr. Wolcott'e
speech the immigration bill was tak >n
up and discussed until 4 oclock, the hour
at which,- by previous agreement. It had
been arranged to finally act upon the
amendments and the bill. An amend
ment offered by Mr. Spooner of Wiscon
sin, providing that the ability on the parr,
of an immigrant either to read or write
should be accepted as sufficient test of
his literacy, was adopted by a vote of
42 to 22.
Another amendment by Mr. Spooner,
providing that the members of the fam
ily accompanying an immigrant rejected
under the conditions of the bill should
be returned to the country whence
came by the Bteamship company, was
also adopted. Other efforts were made
to amend the measure, but failed. The
bill was then passed by a vote of 45 to 28.
The bill as passed provides that all
immigrants physically capable and over
16 years of age shall be able to read or
write the English language or some
other language, but a person not able
to read or write, who is over 50 years of
age and is the parent or grand-parent
of a qualified immigrant over 21 years
of age, capable of supporting such a
parent or grand-parent, may accom
pany the immigrant or the parent or
grand-parent may be sent for and come
to join the family of the child or grand
child over 21 years of age, qualified under
the law; and wife or minor child not able
to read or write may accompany or be
Bent for and come to join the husband
or parent who is qualified.
The act does not apply to persons com
ing to the United States from the island
of Cuba during the continuance of pres
ent disorder there who have the'V'to
fore been inhabitants of that island.
