"One peculiar feature to bo noticed la that the big striked were made by 'teutli-r-ft-et.' While the old aud ex perienced miners of many j ears' ex perience are suffering indescribable hardships aud privations in Alaska aud the Northwest territory, and have only a few thuusund dollars to show for their labor. Fortune seem ed to smile on Ihe inexperienced men, who went into the mining dis trlets late last year, as nearly all ol them were most fortunate. "The storios they tell seem in credible, and far beyond belief. In stances are noted where single indi viduals have taken out, in 2 months gold to the value ot over 1150,000. 'Clarence Berry; of Fresno, Cal., went to the Yukon iu 1800, aud pros peeled several years without success. He returned home last autumn, was married, and took his bride to the Ciondyke last November. He ia now on the Portland, with 1135,000, the result of a winters work aud for tunes smile. "Frank Phiscator, of Baroda Mich. is another lucky miner. He weut to the Ciondyke last autumn, and Is now returning with (00,027, having worked two claims with nine men, three months, and he still owns the claims. He was one of the original discoverers of the Eldorado dis trict. "Although most of the passengers are returning home with plenty ol gold, they all advise and urge peo- jHo who contemplate going to. the ukon not to think of taking in leas than one ton of food and plenty of clothes. While it Is a poor man's country yet the hardshls and pri vations to lie encountered by inex perienced persons unused to frontier life is certain to result in much suffer ing in the winters. They should go prepared with at least a year's U- plies. "The rush to the Ciondyke region commenced late last year, aud the claims were woi-ked all winter. La bor was worth f 15 a day last winter, and flour sold for i0 a sack and oth er provisions were proisirtionately high. Some of the ml iie-owners at tempted to lower the wages to 110, without success. By burning the the ground to thaw the gravel, which was hoisted up about 12 teel to the dum,i, where it was sluiced ami washed in the spring, miners were able to work during the entire win ter. 'The early part of last month, the thermometer ran up to 85 in the shade and.ln January it was 58 degrees be low xero. This Ciondyke district Is northwest from Sitka and is on the boundary U'tween our possession and those of he British. It is the mines that causes the friction in fixing the boun dary. HOW DOES EKASCE STA5D.' That Germany, Russia and Aus riit will, at no distant date, revive the "Holy Alliance" which played such an Important part In the poll- ics of Ihe first half of the 19th cen tury is regarded as fairly certain by mosl political essayists of the day. Die p iwer against which they are united is not, however, the same which caused them to act in concert on the former occasion. Then they showed a solid front to France, t'slay they oppose England and just as Eng land was unwilling to join the league against France, France in Ihese days hesitates to enter Ibe combination against England. The Handel-blud, Amsterdam, whose judgment is not blinded by antipathy against or sym pathy Ith either of the great par ies, says on this subject: "It is true that France must t house between England aud Germany, aud that she will not favor England un less Lord Salisbury is willing to make some concessions. There are some signs that these concessions will n made. Late events in the east have sslii-nYd England that the Ger man danger Is serious enough to war rant sacrifices. English diplomacy, as we know, is the diplomacy of mer chants, ami as a g "1 merchant Eng land will not object to a high price if there is a reasonable chance of profit. An entente between Frafueand Eng land should certainly pay. The in- creasing wedth of Germany, while, it renders France powerless to attack It is also harmful to England, for it is kitfU'lvU Hi thfHt of I he tatter pna ! niinix-lllioii of thluica 'luaile ia Oft- I urnny' thus mil only Kntflainl ami France, but Italy aud Belgium as well. The Imperial Lohengrin will Is attacked ou' the field w here cotton K is sis, glass lieads. kuives aud scis sors, child-en's toys, etc., form the weapons. The idea is practical and entirely worthy.of Ktivl.tnd. To fa cilitate matters, Ei gbud and France Amu Ihrif itiiiior uuarrt-is and" show themselves friendly to Italy, Eng- and has given op her tsMiaolar right in Madagascar with astonishing good grace, and Fraoi-e is suddenly silent with regard i0 Egypt." the Aovosti, St. Petersburg, alo acknowledges that France must be offered advantages by whoever seeks ber help. But this paper, well known for its liberal aud clear judg ineut of matters outside of Russia, believes that France will come to the conclusion that a coinhiue against England is likely to pay extremely well. If England is allowed to 'grow and prosper,' the French colonies will be in danger. There is euough Joint Interest for France and Germany in Africa to forget their ancieut quar rel. That the antl-English coalition is more than a mere fancy, the No- vosti does not doubt. It says : "It seems pretty clear that Europe will concentrate its strength to op pose England's policy in South Africa It is well known what large Interest Germany has at slake in Africa, aud she haa certainly made up her mind to arrest the progress of Britain, which seriously threatens the Boer republic. The emperor'a telegram, which came like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, left no doubt on that scjire. We may 13 iiermitted to be lieve sacrifices will tie made by the powers in the settlement of the diffi culties of Crete aud Greece, to have a free hand against Eugland. We cau not, however, close our eyes to the fact that France would have to liear the brunt of the war, her open rivers ami her scattered colonies lading her open to attack." There is yet another possibility thut France may decline to side, with either party. The history of France, with its numerous wars entered up- tiaua thai Hake of glory and the pro mulgation of an idea, renders this somewhat doubtful. Yet Ihe Frank- further Z'ilung is firmly, convinced that France has practically "gone out of politics." The paper says : "Ask the French why France does not exert herself in the diplomatic field and you will Ik told that they are saving their strength for their war of revenge against Germany. This flatters them aud costs nothing. In reality nothing is further from their mind than to go to war against any one. France, a nation ol old aud prematurely aged, childless peo ple, wants rest and nothing more. The Christians la the Levaut are really the wards of France, hut when the crooked sword of the i'urk mow ed them down, France sin fled her ears, and acted like the rut in the (able, which prayed earnestly for its starving Ifrieuds iu its palace of cheese. That France wants England out of Egypt is true enough, but she would rather sit still and allow some one else to whip the Briton. Hence France la not really displeased to find that Germany aud Russia are tin good terms, and that Austria has broken with England to join the oth er two empires. That Germany will never attack France, the latter pow er knows full well, and thus she ran go to sleep without fear. Nothing illustrates better the seclusion of France than the attitude of the French press in the Greco-Turkish war. Only one paper, the Journal, has really a special correspondent in Thes-aly. The rest take the news they get from London and Vienna and fix it up as their own. The French pubiiotnust be satisfied w ith this sort of thing, else the publishers would not mind Blinding a few thousand francs to get the news di- reef." Translations made for The Literary Digest. T H E M E OLD fo K V. Bryan's sieeches are the name old story. His sieeeh at Eugene (when he opened not his mouth) was the most eloquent one made In Oregon. "His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of ch iff you shall seek them all day ere you fird them, and when you have found them they are not worm the search. The people are tired of platform theory. They want something sub stantial at least by way ol assurance of the succes-ful application of the theory. Every nation on earth that has en lyeil these grent blessings of which Mr. Bryan tells us is either financially bankrupt or socially de. graded, or lioth. When we are ready to adopt Ihe civilization of China and Mexico we may consider the proiosltion of renting our chances of national prosMrity upon wme other financial policy than that re-1 cognized by the world's advanwd scholars and statesmen as the only I trie and safe policy. UIP rOK THE SOUTH PULE. Tlie Steamer Sveuskuud, from Spiuliergeu, reports that Herr An dre, the aeronaut, ascended in bis balloon ou Sundny afternoon, July Uth, at 2 ,10. The ascent was made under favorable circum stances. . As the wind conditions were more favorable on Sunday morning than tbey had previously been, the order waa trtven fl? h "tsjK should he made as quickTy as possible. The preparations occupied three and a half hours. The haloon, which Iwaa christened the eagle, made a succeaa. ful ascent amid the shouts of the crowd which had gathered to wit ness Its departure. Despite the lightness of the wind, the balloon rose rapidly until an altitude of about 600 feet had been attained when It was forced down nearly to the surface of the sea. After a few sandbags had been thrown out it again ascended. The weather was clear, and the Eagle was visable for an hour, trav' elingln a north-northeasterly direc tion. When last seen it wa moving at the rate of 22 miles an hour. Professor S. A. Andree expect should all go well, to reach the north pole by balloon. He planned to make his firist attempt in July, 1890. The ballon and all material necessary fir the ascent were taken to Spitsber gen, and everything was made ready but, on account of unfavorable condl tions it was found necessary to post. pone the trip until this year. His plan was to sail from Cape Thornsden oh a clear day in July when the wind was from the south, and with an average speed of 16 miles an hour, which it is expected can lie maintained, reach the pole laying nearly in a direct line between that point and Cae Thorsden. The average velocity of the wind at Cas? Thorsden is about 21 miles an hour; and allowing for 25 per cent retardation by the guide ropes, this gives a sailing speed of about 16 miles an hour. The average temper ature at this point in July is 50 de grees Fahrenheit, the lowest being 47 degrees, and the highest f 7 degrees; and there are no storms, and but little snow at that time of the year, the temperature being so nearly even From this it is Interred that a slmil- iar evenness of temperature and freedom from storms will be found farther north, near the pole; this date being near the middle of the Artie summer, when the sun is con tinually above the horizon. Hence, though a lower temperature will, ol course, Is? found at the pole, excessive cold is hardlj to be expected, and the conditions for a successful voyage are almost as favorable as could be desired. The balloon In which the Swedish aeronaut Is making the voyage was inflated at Spltxla-rgen In a tempor ary structure erected there; hydrogen condenaed in tanks being transported there for this purHise. The balloon is constructed with a reservoir hav ing a double coveting, said to be im pervious to hydrogen, or at least sufficiently so as to keep the balloon afloat for thirty days, and having a capacity of 68,600 cubic feet, and lifting power when Inflated with hy- drogan of about 4095 pounds. The ballon carries three persona and pro visions for four months, besides scien tific instruments and Burton's col lapsable boats; and the car is capable of instant detachment from the reser voir. No propelling aparatus Is to be used, the wind alone to be the means of propulsion. The balloon is provided with a sail and also a drag or guide ropes, which wilt trail along the surface below and retard the balloon, minklng it cap able being steered. This apparatus has oftened been used by Andree, en abling him so sail at an angle of 27 degrees to 40 tlegrees from the direc tion of the wind. The sailing alti tude Is to be 250 meters, equal to OHI-.'J feet, or a little leas than two miles; and it is expected that this al titude will keep the ballism abov the surface fogs, and below the low ed clouds. This will be accomplish ed by the guide ropes, the weight of on the balloon constantly Increases during the ascent, as rope is taken up from the surface till a point Is reached w here it will counterbalance the lifting power of the gas. The contrary effect Is produce by descent, in proportion to the weight of rope supported on . the surface; so that any tendency to vary from the sail ing altitude fixed by this counter balance will tie cheeked in this way. The row-s are constructed as to be supported on the surface of the water as well as on that of the land. OCR BCTTEK M EC ROPE. Since publishing the abort news paragraph touching Ihe reception of our but er In England, the follow ing fuller report has been received, It is from the columns of the Wash- ington News Letter. Hon. James W llson, Secretary of Agriculture reports that his depart- meut haa received a report from the butter shipment made by Mm from Iowa aud New Hampshire in the mouth of April to London. The Secretary says that the mouth of April is one of the poorest in the year for the making of high grade butter, being known amoug the dairyman as that period "between grass and hay." It Is more difficult on this account to make butter of high flavor and good keeping qual ities at this particular seasou of ..the year. It will be remembered that the object of this shipmeut of butter waa to serve as a pioneer, to use the Secretary's terms, "to blaze a way," and suggest points In improvement regarding the making and ro-i transportation of American butter to the English markets. "The Iowa butter reached Loudon in 14 days and the New Hampshire butter in 10 days. The London merchants adhere to the old rule ol 112 lbs. for 100., and 60 pound tubs sold for 66 pounds, so that is wise to ship in the Australian 1 ft. square package which holds just 56 pounds. "The EnglistTexperts agreed that our butter waa firm, bright aud in sweet condition throughout the packages. The packages were all liued with parchment pnr, so that the butter In no place touched the wood; but our butter so shipied had too.much alt for the Euglih taste, and contained too much brine aud liquor, resulting from this over-salting. It was generally agreed among the experts that 4 ox. of salt to the pound would be enough for that market. They acknowledge that the condition and quality of this shipment was the best of any Amer lean butter seen in the English mar ket. The butter had been salted to suit the American taste and as a conse quence was only received as good second to the finer ami less salted butlers. "The butter from Iowa i was sold for 18 2 10 cents, per pound in the little cubical boxes, while for the same butter in Ihe 6o-pouud tubs they paid but 17 cents, per pound. The butter from , New Hampshire was put up 1 smaller packages. This Imtter in 30 pound tubs sold for 171 cents., and in 5-pound. All pronouncet I the prints most excellent and homelike. The department is obtaining points necessary for the proier in for matlon of the American dairyman regarding the requirments of the market and better transHirtutlon fac ilities." The Secretary has also cnlltd the attention of the steam bort companies to the necessities of this trade and has received favorable responses fn m them and hereafter all requirements will receive prompt anil satisfactory responses. When asketl whether the American dairymen would be able to overcome all the difficulties, so that the American butter would be equal ly acceptable to the English, the Sec retary replied that "there will be no trouble lu regard to that. The Amer ican butter under proper ctre will re ceive as much welcome in the Lon don markets as any butter in the world." This will give ts all time-i an Inexhaustible market for the but ter production which may lie ship ped. At times the American mar ket is the beet; but to have a market where we can sell our surplus is of vast value to the dairy interests of this country. The secretary feels much encourag ed from this Initial shipment and proposes to continue American butter Introduction until all faults ami de ficiencies have been removed from the American product, and all pre judices are dewlroyed. This certain, ly will be an accomplishment which will open to the American products a moat desirable market for our sur- lus. Mr. X. B. Scott, the t est Virgin ia member of the republican national committee, says he, has been Inform ed that the big strike In the coal mines Is part of a democratic scheme to carry Ohio. He says the Idea ol the democratic instigators of the strike Is that it will cut off the supply of coal and result in at least a partial paralysis of the big manufacturing industries of Ohio. Then they will charge the republican party with the responsibility for that condition of affairs and will make an attempt to hold up Senator Hanna as an oppres sor of labor. Mr. Scott added that he did not believe the scheme would succeed, and'that the strikes would Io the republicans of Ohio tittle if any harm.
