rei:. committee appointed by President
ArcKlnley b recel-.-ed a hrter from
W. R. Duy. ssslKtant avcretary of state,
and a cablegram from Consul-General
Lee. Mr. Day's letter contained an In
closure from Consul Hyatt, at Santl.igo
de Cuba, to the effect that one-third of
the people in that district are sick and
In need of medicine. Linen good, too,
are wanted, and as for food, rice, beans,

articles which will keep well In warm

Consul-general Lee went word that all
previous shipments had arrived safely.
WHAT LONPON THINKS.
London, Jan, a. The Tlmem in an edi
torial on Representative Hltt's speech In
rhe douse on Wednesday says:
"We assume Bhat president McKlnley
doe not wish hl tiand to be forced by
the opposite party. He does not want
war with Spain because his heart 1. set
upon promoting the economical and com.
merclal development of the United State.
Yet h eeems doubtful whether he will
prove strong enough to resist hho pres
sure brought to bear upon him. One of
the usual kaleldoscoplo changes In Amer.
lean politic has Jut been effected. The
Cuban question is evidently much graver
Chan It wns two days ago and the govern
ment is not any stronger. An accident
may precipitate anything."

Portland, Or., Jan. II. A steamboat to

New York. Jan. a. Two missionaries
were last spring sent to tho Klondike by
two women of Svw York under the aus
pice of the Presbyterian board of home
missions. The names of the women are
kept a secret by the board. A tetter haa
Jus been received by Dr. McMiUao, eor
reapondln; secretary of the board from
tfv-sa mlpionsriet, th Rev. Dr. Hall
Young and Dr. W. A. MoBwao. The let.
ter Is from Dawson, December XL It wis
carried from Dawson City to th near
est ouiport of ivllliation by Jimmy
Jackson, an Indian, who baa a record for
going where no white man can go. Tbe
letter announce the establishment of
that first ahurnh hi Klondike and sayi
ther k food enough there to last till
prlng with economy but If provisions
reach the miners by the first of April
the danger of absolute want will be en
tirely pvt. our. Young writes thai he
aiid his companions' are the only mission
aries who reached Klondike City, two
mile frotu Dawson, their destination, be
fore winter set in. Hi nee then of course
nobody has arrived there. They started
at once to provide a plane of wqnwp
for the miners. On this point Hr. Young
writes:
"I found a newly erected two-axory
house belonging to a saloonkeeper, which
h offered to let on these terms: Th
larfco room on the first floor, on month
for 1100 In advance, or rhe whole houae
there are frtx 8x10 rooms In the upper
storyl until May 15, seven months, for
X. giving five days to raise the money.
Well, I prayed and called on several
friends. I got the tlOO, which secured
the room for the next Sunday. I adver-j
lined and had a nice meeting, attendance '
M; collection, t Then I arranged to
sublet the upper room at $30 per month
each. They are little, rough, cold, un
furnMied boxes, but were eagerly snap
ped the. tint day, I got the renters to sd-
v ance all they could and borrowed the
rest from She gold oommlwioner, Mr.
Fawuett. At the expiration of five days
I paid the other 1750 and got the Warn of
th building."
thit there were trouble ahead. On the
2bt of Nov ember one of the lodgers came
home filled with whisky. Although can
dle were worth $1.50 each, he lighted one
and then kicked It over. The building
was burned to the ground. The luck of
the missionaries had aroused the miners,
however, and gold was forthcoming m
pay.'ng quantities. Mr, Young argued for
and won she observance of Sunday In the
camp and the "opera house," which had
been ueed for other purpose on that day
I now the church.
Somebody stole two bags of flour from
Uhe mbwlonarlea, but the thief has been
forgiven. Tho missionaries have started

deavor and a branch of the Y. M. C, A.
TOO MANY LABORERS.
Tacoma, Jan. M. There Is at present a
glut In the kibor market at Juneau, Skag
way and Dyea. "More worklngmen than
there are Jobs tor have gone to those
towns with the result that wages are
coming down and many are now eating
up their supines and earning nothing.
(When a good fall of snow comes, fol
lowed by a freeie, the situation wll! be
good. Then the carrying of supplies over

Ohllkoot and White pusses will begin In
work.
MORE VESSELS.
San ranclsco, Jan. a.-OXirlng the past
twenty.four hour seventeen vessels, car
rying in tho aggregate more than 4,000,.
000 feet of lumber have passed In through
the Golden Gate. This arrival of so many
lumber-laden vessels Is due wholly to the
unprecedented demand for tonnage to
engage In the Alaskan trade.
The arrival of th fleet relieved to a
great extent a situation in the lumber
market created by the same demand that
will cause a scarcity of lumber carriers.
LAUGH INCR&SE IN BUSINESS.
New York, Jan. H.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade will say tomor
row: With a volume of business remarkable,
for thla time of the year-38 per cent
Inrger than a year ago and 10.4 per cent
larger than In 1F92 In payments through
clearing howsea. It ts not rtlcmira?lns
that one or two Industries are not larger.
The demand for more goods Is more hea
vy for the season; manufacturing works
are better employed, and orders booked
and In prospect for the future are more
encouraging than at this season In any
other year of which equally definite rec
ords exist.
