ITALY EXPECTS LOUBETT.
If King Vllt France, the President
Mast Come to Rome.
PARIS, June 20 The officials here are
not desirous of freely discussing the re
ports of complications arising from Pres
ident Loubefs projected visit to Rome,
owing to the delicacy of the questions in
volved. When shown the "Vienna reports
to tho effect that tho visit had been given
up because the pope would not receive the
President, it was stated that it had never
been officially determined .that the Pres
ident should visit Rome, the early re
ports being largely a deduction that King
"Victor Emanuel's visit to Paris would
naturally be followed by M. Loubet going
to Rome. "While this probability con
tinues, no official decision has been
reached, and no announcement made as to
the time or programme.
Senor Prinetti had an hour's talk with
Foreign Minister Delcasse yesterday. He
said afterwards that if King Victor Em
manuel came to Paris, Italy Would ex
pect M. Loubet to go to Home. He added
that Italy did not want a repetition of
tho difficulties whjch resulted from the
fact that Emperor Francis Joseph did not
return tho late King Humbert's visit to
Vienna. Slgnor Prlnette added:
"It is to bo distinctly understood hence
forth that each time a King of Italy visits
the chief of a foreign state at the cap
ital that chief of state will return the
visit at the Italian capital, Rome."
The latter part of this statement appar
ently dismisses the reports that M. Lou
bet would avoid Vatican complications by
visltln& King Victor Emmanuel at a
point outside of Rome. Th? official pro
gramme of King Victor Emmanuel's visit
to Paris, given out, makes no mention of
a return visit. The King will etay here
from July 16 to 18, and will be entertained
with elaborate fetes, a military review,
state banquets, and a gala' performance
at the opera. Ho will occupy sumptuous
apartments. Tho King will be accom
panied by the Italian Minister of Foreign
Affairs, which will be given political sig
nificance. 2fAVAL EXPANSION BILL CARRIES.

The Uraga Dock Company on May 24
suspended the construction of the remain
lng coastguard boats for the United States
Government and will, it is said, carry out
a wholesale dismissal of employes at the
Uraga yard In a few days. The event is
due to tho fact that the first two vessels
cent to Manila havo been found defective
by the civil government. Mr. Tsukahara,
president of the Uraga Dock Company,
who went to Manila the other day, was
told -by the Government that the author
ities "would not take delivery of the boats
unless the Uraga Dock Company reduces
the cost of the vessels by 20.000 yen apiece.
A dispatch from Hong Kong says: The
Chinaman -who was arrested here for the
murder of young Kue Wan, one of the

Chinese government sent emissaries to
Hong Kong with the order either to kill
or kidnap the reformers. Young Kue Wan
was then deliberately killed while teaching
in a school near the Central Police Sta
tion. The murderers have been afterwards
created Mandarins, received monetary re
wards and given official position in Can

CHICAGO; June 20. Tho gold output of
Alaska, now XX,0d),OCO per J-t-arv will be
greatly Increased by the early building of
a new railroad from" the "southern coast
of Resurrection" Bay northward to the
Tanana River, definite announcement of
which was made here today. The Re
ward Constructioji Company, of Chicago,
has secured tho contract of tho building
and equipping of 413 miles of Alaska Cen
tral Railway, from Resurrection Bay
northward through the Cook Inlet coun
try and up the Sushltna Valley to the
Tanana River, 150 miles" above its Junc
tion with the' Yukon. '
Tho construction company is made up
of Illinois, Michigan and Ohio capitalists.
Its general manager is John Dowdle, of
the contracting Arm of Nash & Dowdlo.
Tha president Is George A. Skinner, a
Michigan banker, and .the treasurer is
George II. Ford, National Bank Exam
iner, of Cleveland.
The company has placed an order for
70-pound steel rails, which will bo shipped
via Seattle and Vancouver. Locomotives
and cars' also havo been secured, and will
be forwarded with tho rails. Construc
tion, must start boforo July 15, and, be
pushed with all possible speed. Tho now

Klondike. The road will make interior
Alaska accessible every day In tho year
and save three weeks of travel now
necessaryMd' Interlttr points by tho cir
cuitous routes up the Yukon River. The
projectors say that the building of the
Alaska Central will increase tho annual
gold production of Alaska from the pres
ent output of 530,000,000 to $200,000,000. and
attract an increased immigration of
scores of thousands.
Tho Agrioultural Department of tho
United States Government has carried w
experiments for the last five years in
Southern and C6ritTal!fAIaska, and has
demonstrated that vegetation can grow
successfully thero which can be grown in
tho Northern States -of the Union. The
climatic conditions are about'the same as
In England and Southern" Norway. Tho
shores are tempered by the Gulf stream
similarly as Southern and Central Alaska
are tempered by the Japan current.
In addition to the resources of gold,
coal and timber, the new railroad will
penetrate a copper belt; which has been
pronounced by Government and private
mineralogists to contain tho most exten
sive and highest grade copper deposits
known in the world.
Mr. Dowdle will leave Chicago with his
construction equipment next Wednesday
via Seattle, en route to Seward, tho
northern terminus of the Alaska Central.
Mr. Ballaln left for Seattle today.
THE PICKET WINS.

won.
Claudo was easily tha best of the other
starters. He came fast into the stretch,
but llttlo John Daly saw he had no chance
to catch Tho Picket, and also eased up.
but almost too Eoon. Bernays, backed by
Cincinnati enthusiasts, came on grandly
from tho center of the field, and hitched up
in a drive with Savable for tho shortest
end of tho purse. Bernays got It by
neck.
Judge HImes, the horse that had Jumped
Into popularity and been heavily backed
within a week, failed to make a showing,
Tho fast track was against him. He rap
idly went to last position after tho start
and stayed there. He was 40 lengths behind
when The Picket reached the wire.
The Picket is a bay colt by Falsetto-
Volltario. Ho waa bred by his owners
Mlddleton & Jungbluth, at Louisville. Ha
ran last year but never won, and conse
quently carried the light burden of 115
pounds.
Tho Picket was regarded as a dangerous
candidate. Last Tuesday - -he "was worked
over the Harlem track In 'preparation for
tho Derby In almost record time. He coh
ered the mile and a half In 2:33. The time
was so fast that many people doubted the
truth of tha reported workout. Tho race
today proved The Picket to be a wonderful
horse. Ha practically repeated his worn
out In the race this afternoon. Neither of
The Picket's owners saw him .win. Carl
Jungbluth is In Asia, and John Middle
ton heard the result of the race at Louis
vine.
Betting at Track Is LlRfct.
The betting on tho Derby at the track
was the lightest in years. The bookmakers
wrote as many tickets as usual, but the
amounts were small. All the big betters
laid their money in the future books, and
did not engage in any battle in tha betting
ring today. The Picket opened at 6 to L
and advanced to 10 to 1 before post time.
Claude advanced from 6 to 7 to L Bernays
remained stationary at 6 to 1, while Sav
able went from 5 to 2 to 3 to L Fore and
Aft, the Tennessee horse, was probably
the best played of any on the flcld.tThe
largest bet was won by Joo Yeager, who

MEDAL FOR MATLOCK.
Congress Granted One to Similar
Hero Thirty Years Ago.
ASTORIA. Or., Juno 17. (To tho Edi

wera all very much damaged, and about
140 lives were lost. This flood occurred
at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, and a
young farmer lad. Just starting out on his
dally milk-peddling trip, heard the crash
of the oncoming waters, whipped his old
horse into a gallop, and rushed down the
thickly populated valley, through the sev
eral towns, giving tho alarm and warn
ing the people to flee for safety, thus sav
ing hundreds of lives. The attention oC
Congress was called to his noble work,
and a magnificent gold medal was pre
pared for him and presented to him by
Congress on behalf of the United States.
You probably have in your books of ref
erence arr account of the incident 'and of
tho young man's name, which, unfortu
nately, I have forgotten.
I call your attention to this instance
because Heppner had Its hero as well as
Williamsburg, and his bravery and pres
enco of mind should not be permitted to
pass unrewarded. AH honor to him. say
we all. I trust our Oregon Matlock may
be. In like manner, rewarded, and write
this letter that attention of our represen
tatlon at Washington may be aroused
and that they will look up the Williams
burg case and see to it that Matlock Is
similarly rewarded.. The picture and de
scription of tho above-mentioned medal
was printed in Harper's Weekly at tha
time of the presentation, probably in tha
year 1S75. SAM T. GILL.
