A GE N o Diderenoe Between President and Secretary. Two IN - PERFECT Aeooao. The Farmer’s Message Will Advise That Time Be Given for a. Trial of Spain’s Reforms in Cuba—No Indecisive Document. V Washington, Nov. 30.—"I am sure when the public..reads the text of the President’s message, and the text of my report to Congress, they will see that the two are in accord.” These were ‘the words of Secretary Gage yesterday when asked about the newspaper reports that the President and he were not of one mind in'regard to the financial recommendations to be made to Congress. The Secretary did not- care to. discuss the subject any fur— ther, because he has made it a rule not to notice newspaper guesses in regard to his report or the President’s recom- mendations. He made the above dec- laration when the matter was men— tioned to him, at the same time saying that, as it was but a few days before both the President's message and his own report would be made public, be thought it better for the people to wait until that time rather than believe the speculative reports and unfounded ru- mors now being published. Unfounded Reports. Both at the Treasury and the White House the stories published yesterday were pronounced unfounded, and it is stated on'the highest authority that there is no difference between the Pros- ident and his Secretary of the Treasury in,regard to the coming message. It has been stated, and wisely, too, that -- the President will not go into detail or elaborate the plan for currency reform as will Secretary Gage, because he is not expected to do so, it being the province of the Secretary under the law to report directly to Congress. The part of the President’s message refer- ring to the Secretary’s report is writ— ten in no uncertain tone, and it is sat- isfactory to Secretary Gage in every particular. It ends with the following sentence: , “I earnestly recommend to the care- ful consideration of Congress the rec- ommendations contained in the report of the Secretary of the Treasury.” The President, in the financial part ,of his message, does not use the same language as the Secretary of the Treas- I .ury, but expresses his views in the same way. The difference in phraseol- ogy may have been the foundation for f the assertion that there is a. difference ’ between the two high officials, but this Is the only foundation whatever for the reports which have been published within the last two or three days. Plain Talk on‘ Cuba. The part in regard to Cuba will be clear cut and written in the plainest and most straightforward manner. It will hold out the hope that beneficial results may be expected from the new policy adopted by Spain, and either di- rectly or indirectly will suggest to Congress the propriety of taking no action with respect to Cuba until time has been allowed for a trial of the new policy. The purpose of the message, in this respect, will be to maintain the , present neutral attitude of the United States until after the middle of Jun- uary. While the scheme of autonomy, as outlined in the communication to Senor De Lome from his Government is a disappointment, liberal as was expected, the President does not feel called upon to pass judg- ment upon it, but can merely wait to see how it will be received in Cuba. No better proposition being presented, - however, he will await the result with loss feeling of confideHCe than he would if something more substantial had been proposed. V SUFFOCATED IN A TUNNEL. Peculiar Accident Causes the Death of Three Train Men. Port Huron, Mich., Nov. 30.—-_As- phyxiation caused the death of three men in the Grand Trunk Railway tun- nel Sunday night. The victims were Henry J. Courtney, engineer; Arthur Dunn, conductor; John Dalton, brake- man. ‘ A train which was being hauled through to the Canadian side broke in two. The engine backed down to get the detached portion of the train, but for hours nothing waspheard of the crew. Finally a searching party found the bodies and also rescued William Dunn, fireman, and William Potter, brake- man, in an unconscious condition. Three members of the searching party were also overcome, but were later rescued by. another party. The tunnel gas arises from the hard'coal'used'by the locomotives. Five Years in the Penitentiary. ’Washington, Nov. 30.—Robert H. Martin, formerly the treasurer of Co- lumbian University, has been sentenced to serve five years in the penitentiary for embezzlement. Martin, as treasur- er, had charge of all the large funds of the university. It was discovered last Spring that $14,000 of these funds had disappeared, and that his embez- zlements had continued for nearly three years. Martin at the time 'plead— ed not guilty, but last week he changed his plea to guilty. -' Scllacfcr Wins the First Game.

STAAVINAAA ALASKA Prospect of‘Fainine Cause Miners to Desert Dawson City. ‘“ FOOD TAKEN BY. FORCE- Steamcr Held- Up at Circle City and Provisions Taken—Thieves , Skill: in Dawson—Mining Laws Cansixi'g Considerable Trouble. Seattle, Wash, Nov. 30.—T‘Wenty-five Klondike miners, who have arrived here on the steamer City of Seattle from Skaguay with over one million in gold and drafts, describe a. great exo- dus from the gold diggings at Daw- son. The supply ot’ food was nearly gone, and the departure of hundreds for "points further down the Yukon was seen’to be the only alternatif'e to starvation. . Until late in September, when ice closed the Yukon, there was hope that enough food might be brought in to provision Dawson for the Winter. When this was seen to be impossible, Capt. Hansen. manager for the Alaska Commercial Company, hurried to Daw- son from Fort qukon. to warn the peo- ple of their danger. The Canadian officials—Capt. Con- stantine, of the mounted police; H. W. Davids, Collector of Customs, and Thomas Faucett, » Gold Commissioner—, issued a notice, which was posted up all over town, advising every one who hadn’t laid in a. Winter’s supply'of food to hurry down to Fort Yukon and other points on the lower river where supplies were comparatively abundant. Great Privation Certain. When the miners now here left Daw- son it seemed probable that at least one thousand men would take their de- Doan’s Kidney P2115 are for 5310 19y i parture. All the stores had closed; all dealers, price 00 cents per box, s1x = they had nothing more‘to sell. However, at best they will hardly find more than enough .to sustain life through the Winter. The highest esti— member the name Doan’s and take no A mates of the amount of freight down the river 'do not exceed two thousand With the persons who are now preparing to go, or considering the ad- visability of going, there will be in the lower country probably more than three thousand. Much of the freight is not food, and there is probably not enough to fully supply more than two thousand. Every avenue of relief is closed. No more food can come by the river from St. Michael’s or over the passes, and the people of the Yukon must settle down to a life of privation without hope of relief from any source until the middle of next June. Impossible to Get Out. Were it possible, many would go out. When the ice has formed it is possible for the hardiest to go out over the pass about Jan. 1. If they go they must carry along for themselves and dogs more food than would be necessary to carry them through the Winter. ' More than this, such a trip is beyond the reach of many, for the price of dogs is beginning to be beyond the reach of most purses. An epidemic of crime is the result of scarcity of food in Dawson. Within a week thirty robberies of caches were reported to the mounted police, and two thieves caught in the act of looting coaches have been killed by the owners. Under ordinary circumstances Cana- dian law might have dealt severely with the shooters, but in this case there being no food for the prisoners, they were ordered to depart quickly down the river. This they did. ’ lndignatlon in the-Canny». The decision of the Canadian Gov- ernment to let the new mining laws stand and collect the excessive royal- ties demanded has caused intense ex- citement in Dawson. The secretary of the Mine Owners’ Association estimates that the mines of Eldorado Creek would produce $4,000- 000. He says that the proposed royalty will close them all, or that the owners will do only enough work to hold their leases from the Government. Some of the Canadians, Who are large owners, talk of rebellion, and say that they will not submit to what they call an out- rage. A meeting will be called imme- diately, and it is proposed to send a representation to Ottawa. , These are the three provisions of the new law which have proven most lob-. jectionable to the miners: First—A royalty tax mi 10 per cent.~ on the gross yield of enoh mine up to $20,000 per year, and 20 per cent. of that part in excess of the $20,000. Second_—Creek claims hereafter lo- cated shall be but 100 feet in length. instead of 500 feet, as under the old' law. Third—Alternate claims shall be re- served by the Government and sold at auction. _ ‘ Miners Hold Up Steamers. The miners at Circle City. and its neighborhood, in the American Section of the gold country, have forcibly de- tained the North American Trading and Transportation Company’s steam~ er Portus B. W'eare and compelled the officers to discharge sufiicient'of her cargo-to meet their pressing wants. The steamer,- in charge of the man- ager of the company, E. E. Weare, and carrying 200 tons of freight, had passed the Yukon flats, and it was the inten- tion 'to stop at Circle City only long enough to discharge provisions for the company mess. She had no sooner made fast, however; than she was boarded by a. committee o-f six. the chairman of which said the minors were prepared‘to pay any price Company might exact. The demand met with a dime}. ro— fusal from Mr. Weare, who decl: ed that the cargo must go directn- Ac Dawson City, as much of it \VEH’. :r: . bond. The chairman made a__peculiar signal, and immediately fifty men, armed with rifles and shotguns. ranged themselves on a 'bluff commanding the boat. Mr; Weare was told that if he attempted to put a. man in the pilot- house his action would be resented, and the man would be compelled toleave the Wheel. This had the desired effect. The steamer Bella, which went up the river a few days later, met a. similar reception, and had to put ashore fifty tons of provisions. »Even now, Circle City has scarcely enough food for more than six months.

' 'John Good-now, the new Consul General at Shanghai, China, expresses» an inten-tion‘to fulfill the demands of American sports-men by , introducing various breeds of Chinese game birds, into this country. When John O. Denny was Consul General at the port of Shanghai in 1881‘he' became deeply " interested in this work, and it was he “ who first introduced the Chinese pheas- ant,'....now counted by hundreds of " thousands in the forest lands of Ore- gon. The bird is now known as the ‘D-enny” pheasant, and-if Mr. Good- .now lives up to his promise .we may v-et expect to see a breed of birds thriving under the title of the “Good. now grouse,” for there are sevef‘al species of this game bird in China that are svuSCeptible of transportation into ' Minnesota territory , , Judge Denny’s first experiment. in 1881 was a failure.__ The next year he tried again, with success. Twenty- oight birds arrived at Portland, Ore, safely. They were immediately set free among 'the grain fields and brush—covered and woodl-ess prairies .at Judge Denny’s brother’s ranch in Linn county. ' What happened was really very mar- velous. Nothing was seen of the new bird for a year or two, and then, here and there, in difierent portions of the country, shy little coveys made their appearance, and before five years had elapsed the cucketting of the brilliant plumaged male birds was far more commonly heard than that of the na- tiv grouse. Through "Judge Denny’s instrum-entali'ty the Legislature passed a-law protecting the new pheasant for five years, and at. the expiration of this period the time was extended for another five years. At the end of ten years Oregon was lite-rally alive with the Chinese pheasant, which delights the heart of every sportsman with its swift and rapid flight, and tempts the most epicurean palate by its delicate. white flesh. 'Last year the game warden of L'inn county reported that over 13,000 birds of this family had been killed in the - short open season now allowed in that county alone, and they are now num~ bored by the hundreds of thousands and cover four states in the Northwest. ‘ This prodigious increase is a problem ' for the statistician, and it will strike revery one with wonder that twenty- cight birds in fifteen short years should have increased to countless thousand-s, but when it is explained that each mother bird during the spring and summer season lays from fifty to sixty eggs and hatches in three sittings almost as manyyoungsters the problem loses its mystery—Min— neapolis Journal. THE AMEER OF AFGHANISTAN. ' An Autocratic Ruler 'Who is Governed by the “'ill of His People.

A few years ago be greatly desired to visit England and other European countries, and the British Government was anxious that he should do so. But he did not venture to do so with-out the consent of his people. So he took a plebiscitum on the subject. He sent a proclamation to every village in his empire, telling what he wanted to do, and explaining the advantages that would accrue to him and to the empire from such a tour, and asking the people to take a vote on the sub- iect and let him know the result. So the question was submitted to univer- sal suffrage. After a few weeks the returns were all in and were counted. and it was found that a considerable majority of the people were opposed to his leaving the country. He was disappointed, but acquiesced- in the will of the people, and stayed at home, sending his second son to England in his place—New York Tribune. Subsidizedflétels in Norway. Some people who have recently re- turned from a tour in ont-of-the-way parts of Norway tell of a. capital hotel ’ system in vogue there, which might be adopted with advantage in some parts of Seotland and Ireland. In every village where no hotel exists some one of the more prominent inhabit-ants is subsidized by the Norwegian Gov- ernment, and in return is bound to provide accommodation for not less than four travelers; he may take in more if he chooses, but four is the minimum. Norway owes much of her prosperity to tourists, and she certain- ly treats them well.-—The Sketch.
