tablish a protectorate over the

No Place For Miners.
Jack Phclan who went to Copper
river from Portland last spring, writes
to a friend In this city In a doleful
strain. '
"We have not made a dollar since
we left Portland, and we don't expect
to mako one vcr7 soon, cither." Intro
duotorlly writes Phclan.
"The Copper river country Is a great
fake, and for that matter so also Is
Tanana, for a poor man. If wo
hadn't enough provisions to do us un
other year wo would not forgo ahead.
If there Is any gold on tho Tanana It
can,t be touched with water, and It
Is from 25 to 15 feet to bedrock. It
would requlro a fortune to do any
mining here, as tho entire country is
volcanic.
"There were about 6000 men here
this summer and I don't boll eve there
was an ounce of gold among them all.
Besldcsjthat there Is not one map in a
thousand on this trail who made a
dollar this summer. With tho ex
ccptlun of 500, perhaps, all aro selling
their outfits and preparing to go
home.
"Steamship companies are lying
about this country, und by so doing
have robbed many a poor man out of
house and home. 1 tell you this coun
try is a swindle so far as I have sctn
it, and I have aeen much of It.''

Empire in the Hands

He Believes He is the Victim of
a DangerousConspiracy.
The Emperor Realizes the Strength
of the Conspiracy.
(By Associated Press to The Journal.)
London, Sept. 23. Dispatches from
Pckln state that members of the
European community there bclieyo
tho Emperor of China is In danger.
The Dowager Empress desires to placo
Prince Kwang's grandson on tho
throne. The emperor realizes tho
strength of tho conspiracy against
him and ordered the guards of the
palaco strengthened.
Washington, Sept. 23, Tho Ohl
ncso minister Wu Ting received by
cable the full text of the edict is
sued by tho emperor of China yester
day, which calls the Empress Dowager
back to power.
It Is as follews: "Now China Is dis
turbed.. There Is need that all busi
ness bo well done.
We, the emperor, agitated for the
welfare of affilrs, observing that
the Empress Dowager has twlco
given Instructions on tho Emperor
with signal bucccss, 60 we now have
begged tho Empress Dowager to give
tho.emplro tho benefit of her ripe
experience and Instruction.
-J'rQm-UiO' day . tho ;EmpreDoW'
UL-or conducts tho business In tho
lmnerial department It will tako all
the princes and ministers to, perform
In the Chin Chung palace."
It Is difficult to obtain reliable In
formation at the palaco In regard to
tho proceeding, but the recent reform
atory edicts probably caused tho
changes. Whllo tho emperor was
subservient and a mero figurehead,
the dowager empress permitted him to
remain in power, but as soon as ho
attempted to act on his own initiative
his practical deposition was tho re
sult. His principal advisor, Kang
Yumol, a Cantoncso reformer, has
fled.
Tho effect of tho change must be
