ALASKA LIQUOR GANG.
Ex-Commissioner Smith Talks of Their
Political Pull.
Portland, July 30 Ex-Commis
sioner John M. Smith, of Alaska, is in
this city. Mr. Smith denies each and
every charge that has been alleged
against him, and says that a gang of
political pirates were after his scalp
and succeeded in getting it. He
further eays that the whole trouble
arose over the gang who are engaged
in the liquor traffic contrary to tbe
liws of the Uulted States, and who
are still running Alaska to suit them
selves. It is surprising, he says, as to
what a political pull tbe liquor gang
has, as it extends all the way from
Skagway to Washington, D. C. Mr.
Smith expects to return to Alaska
after a brief sojourn in the Willamette
valley.
WH23RE IS THE SACK.
Portland Ex-Policemen Want to Know
Where the Funds Went.
Portland. July 3ft The ex-police
men and firemia formally known as
tbe Pen noyer push, have organized a
society of r x'a. As to'wbat their aims
or objects are is a question that the
general public "knoweth not." They
hold weekly meetings, and so far no
one outside of the push can be found
who has ever had the pleasure of en
tering into the secret chamber. But
it has ben surimsed at " their last
night's meeting tbf chief 'subject
of discussion was what Napoleon Davis
did with the sack. It need not be
stated that Mr. Davis is not a member
of tbe organization. Tbe members
still claim that there was $42,000 in
the sack that was in tbe personal
keeping of ' Mr. Davis, and that they
can only find where seven, thousand
was used, leaving a bal.tnee of $35,000
unaccounted for, which sum has un
doubtedly been donated to some
choritable organization ere this. .

An Armistice Likely to Soon Be Agreed
Upon. -
Madrid, July .9. Referring to the
prospects of peace, Correspondencia, a
semi-official newspaper, says today:
".While the government has asked
for peace, without stipulation prelim
inary to the suspension of hostilities.
it is supposed an armistice will be de
clared as soon as the basis is agreed
upon, and pending a definite settle
ment. None of these bases have yet
been submitted, but among the condi
tions mentioned is one relative to an
international conference in London to
arrange the future of the Philippine--.
We do not believe tbe Americans will
propose such a conferenco, because
they have no interest in doing so, and
could not derive any benefit therefrom.
Neitner is the Spanish government
favorab e t uch a conference, con
sidering that the negotiations which
it has opened dir ctlv with the United
States are better calculated to secure a
good understanding between tbe two
countries."

' AGUINALDO
GROWS UGLY
He Causes American Forces
Some Trouble.
London, Aug. 2. The Times is in
receipt of a dispatch from Cavite,
wiiicti says : it is oecoming more
apparent daily that there are e
lous complications ahead. The
Americans never made a greater ms-
take than In bringing Aguinaldo and
the insurgent leaders here and'giving
them arms and ammunition for free
use from the Cavite arsenal. Aguin
aldo, fearing annexation by the Amer
leans, openly opposes them.
Either be has been encourage'! by
some foreign power, or he has a false
uotion of the strength of the Philip
pine revolution, tailing to recognize
that their recent successes are due to
the concentration of the Spanish
strength at Manila, consequent upon
the presence of the Americans. He
has compelled the natives of the south
em approaches to Manila to register
their bullocks and ponies,and instruct
ed tbe owners not to supply them to
the Americans for transportation with
out his sanction.
Brigadier-Geueral Anderson prompt
ly adopted firm measures,' warning
Aguinaldo that force would be used to
impress the means of transportation,
which were ultimately forthcoming.
Agulnaldo's attitude makes future oo-
eratione against Manila problematical.
Agulnaldo's forces encircle the cky,
making daily and nightly attacks.
The Spaniards still hold tbe whole of
the suburbs. Two miles behind Agul
naldo's lines, south of Manila, 5000
American troops are encamped. The
remainder are at Cavite. guinaldo
is understood to have objected to the
advance of the Americans to ground
captured by theinsurgents, forgetting
that his landing was effected by the
grace of the Americans.

F NO LANGUAGE NEEDED.
Instances Which Seem to Sustain the
Contention of Certain Savants.
Those who contend we could get on
without a language may add another
story to prove their point, says the
Leeds Mercury. Everybody knows that
in many casc-s it is not the words used
but the manner of speaking which
makes the impression. Thus it was
that Daniel O'Connell was able to make
a market dame raga and storm by call
ing her a hypothenuse triangle. Somo
Swedish ambassadors having to present
an address to Louis XVI., which they
had forgotten, recited the whole ot
their catechism, and that did just as
well. Prof. Drummond tells us in his
"Tropical Africa" lie was in a similar
fix, nnd got out of it in a similar way,
On one occasion four of his earners
ran away. There were three others of
the same tribe in the company, and,
though the professor knew nothing of
their dialect, he determined to teach
hem a lesson. Iieginning with a few
general remarks on the heathen, he
briefly sketched the- geology of Africa
and then broke into an impassioned de-
fense of the British constitution. The
three tribesmen trembled like aspens.
He concluded his reprimand by solemn
ly enunciating the 47th proposition of
Euclid,. and the result of the awful ad
monition was that .the men became
the most faithful he' had.
UNUSED
TO DIRECTORIES.
Difficulty of a
t onntryman in Finding'
Firm's Addrexs.
A countryman drifted into one of the
Main street railway oiSces and said
The policeman outside thar told me
yuh had a direction book of the town
in here." The busy but polite clerk
indicated the direc'orv, nnd the coun
tryman stared. lie opened it doubt
fully, says the EuCalo Commercial, and
turned a few pages. "Xamj of every
body in town in here?" he ventured.
'Guess so, pretty nearly," replied the
clerk, smiling. "They may have
skipped an odd name here and there.
but the skips are few." The country
man went back to his book end the
clerk to his work. After 15 or 20 min
utes the clerk saw the countryman was
still puzzling over the directory and
stepped over to where he stood. "What
name are you looking for?" he asked.
Roberts Brothers," answered the rus
tic The clerk glanced at the place
where the countryman was looking and
nearly had a fit. The fellow had start
ed at the beginning of the book and was
following down the columns with his
thumb naU.
