Gold liy tliu Ton Coining Into Diiwson Aft«*r tin* I'luHriiip. TACOMA, Wash., July 10.—Dr. L. O. Wilcoxson of Chicago, who has arrived from Dawson, brings authentic news of an enormous clean-up that took place in the first half of June, pack trains arriving at Dawson daily from Bonanza. Eldorado, Hunker and Sul phur creeks, each bringing in $500,000 to $1,500,000 In dust. The big pack train made several trips from 1’rof. Llppoy’s claim on Eldorado, which produced two tons of gold dust. The largest nuggets yet found in the Klondike were discovered during the clean-up. One from Claim 4, below on Bonanza, weighed sixty and one-half ounces and was valued at $068. A still larger one, but Impregnated with quartz, was found on Gold hill. It weighed over 106 ounces und is valued at $1,804. Steamers were leaving Dawson al most dally for St. Michael bearing rich Klondikers and their dust. The steam er Robert Kerr, leaving Dawson on June 20, carried over $3,000,000. He thinks that $5,000,000 and their owners will arrive on the first steamers from St. Michael. Coming out Wileoxson learned of two Important new discoveries, one on Thirty-Mile river, where $2 per pan was found, and the other on Big Sal -*vm, where the winter’s dumps aver aged $38 per man.

Morse representing liimself as ‘‘district agent of the Alaska-Klondike Improvement and Mining company," was arrested at his office here today by Mrs. Rich ard P. Bland, widow of the late con gressman. The police seized Morse’s books, which according to Chief of Police Hayes, proves him to bo a clev er swindler, whose operations have covered every part of the country. Morse's plan, it appears, was to collect from the widows of prominent men, lately deceased, whom, he always rep resented, had some time since bought certain mining stock of him and left a small balance unpaid. A long list of Morse's victims was. discovered among his hooks and included a dozen or so names of Philadelphia people, as many more from Boston, and other Massachusetts towns, some from New York, New Jersey, Texas and Illinois cities; a few from Cincinnati, others from Kansas, and lamisinna, and two score in Missouri. Morse came here recently from Ne braska City. Nebraska, where he mar ried Miss Nellie Fitzgerald, whose par ents live in Illinois, last May. AKIN TO CONSCRIPTION. Hill In the llou.e of lord. I.llteljr lo I'rote I npopular LONDON, July 10.— In tlm house of lords today the secretary of state for war, the Marquis of Ijmsdowne, in troduced a hill which is regarded as the thin end of the wedge of const rip tlon and as therefore likely to render the government unpopular. The hill, which is entitled. "The Mil itia Ballot Act," Is intended to simpli fy and regularise an existing set now practically suspended In favor of vol untary enlistment. In his speech introducing the meas ure laird lainsdowiie carefully ex plained that the government only wanted it read the first time aa there was no iatenttoa of passing it. and he scouted the suggest ton of trying to Introduce conscription by a side wind Personally he said, he d'd not favor conscription hut he thought It "advis able that such a Mil should be la read iness If wanted,” and that the "room ti, st.ia.ltt realise how it stands with regard lo the question” Vee.a.r* M.gle te ».*»«• I/>N A.NtlKI.K* luty l« Nearly l aw delegate, to the National I do rational asaoriallun have arrived in the i-ity and twnnty ape. inl trains are scheduled to arrive today, bringing several thousand The ini session of the National Council of tiduratlun kt gaa today The ssastua alii coauaua through threw days FIRST CELEBRATION IN CUBA.

HAVANA, July 10.—The rcneption and ball given last evening by General Ludlow, the military commander, out shone any social function In Havana in recent years. Innumerable red, . white and blue electric lights, thou sands of roses, hundreds of flags and »o end of sabers, bayonets and rifles, artistically grouped, made the scene within the pakice memorable. More than a thousand gtiests attend ed. Music was furnished by two mili tary bands. AM the foreign consul* were In evidence, most of them wear ing glittering orders and many of the women woro handsome Jewelry. Gen eral Ludlow gave the function In honor of Independence day and the repre sentative Culians and Spaniards of Havana were present. American otfleials hero aro surprised at the large number of Cubans now applying tn the province of Santiago for a share of the gratuity. The Cuban officers had usHitrcd them there were not 100 men In the province who would accept money from the United States, basing the assurance on telegrams, which purported to come from Santi ago. liven when It became known that these dispatches were inspired by Cuban malcontents here, and concocted in the Inglaterra cafe, it was still felt that thi -e opponents of a dteaolutfon of a Cuban army might succeed In preventing a large numlier from ap plying to the American paymasters. Those who knew the facts believed that Santiago Insurgents were much underestimated on the pay rolls, espe cially as the Cuban generals had always claimed that more than 60 per cent of the army was In Santiago province. It turns out that the Jeal ousy that existed In war times between the eastern and western troops still exists, and that those In Santiago province are more likely to reject than except advice from Havana. At Saneti Splrltus, out of 180 men mustered out, payment has been made to 175. Sh'ty weapons have been de livered to the mayor of the city. Two hundred and eighty-four applications have been refused. The supplementary lists will be ready tn about ten days. A dispatch from Puerto Principe says the rurt.l guards there were notified of the presence of a band of forty armed men near the city, and pursued them to Carvajal plantation, where the outlaws gave tight from behind a stone wall. After ten minutes of hot firing, the band made a dash for the road and escaped, losing one man, Luis Cruz, a former resident of Nuevltas, and always a worthless character. The rural guards had two men wounded. They captured fifteen horses which the outlaws bad been leading. The band recently stole eight rifles, a number of revolvers and machetes and a quantity of cartridges with which It was evi dently intended to arm additional men. NOW UNDIR A MODUS VIVENDI. __ No I’rohitblllty «f » 4 lanli Itilinin IikIc n a hi unit Knglnnil. WASHINGTON, July 10.—Mr. Choate has not communicated to the state de partment the result of any representa tions he has made to Lord Salisbury In London respecting the modus vlvendi under his instructions of yesterday. Although it is believed that it is al most hopeless to expect a successful outcome of those tlirect negotiations with London, It is not regarded here as inevitable that a hostile clash will follow the failure to secure a modus. Confidence is expressed in the suffi ciency of the present arrangements, backed by the sound common sense of the officials of the United States and Canada now in the disputed territory in Alaska, to prevent a collision. As a matter of fact, the United States and Great Britain have been actually work ing under a tacitly understood modus vivendi. J ne existence or an understanding on this point Is manifested in the ready acquiescence by the United States government in the suggestion by the British foreign office that it might tend to prevent trouble if the war department abandoned its plan of sending a garrison of troops to Pyramid harlwjr. On its part, the Brit ish government showed its disposition to maintain the status quo by quietly, but firmly, restraining the Canadian customs officers ami mounted police, who were greatly harassing American miners passing over the trails. If this spirit continues to he exhibited on both sides there is little reason to fear that the failure of the London negotiations will result in anything more serious than another long and disagreeable postponement of the final settlement. The British embassy is similarly without advicea fr< m the foreign office as to the recent negotiations in Lon don and the officials here positively decline to discuss any phase of the Alaskan question. 01*1 flunk ( Io»m li< hoon.

NEW YORK, July 10.—A dispatch to tho Tribune from I/tndon, Eng., gays: The complete success of John H. Bartlett’s canipidgn In the English oil seed trade Is ensured When be cuiiie to England five worths ago the managers of the linseed and cotton seed crushing raillB and refineries veto competing sharply with one another and adopting no methods for self pres ervation. He hnH drawn 60 per cent ! of this great trade into an atnalgatr.at* ' ed company. Ills plan of operations has been adopted by a majority of the trade, Including all the stiongest com panies and firms. He has made con tracts with seventeen corporations and firms and purchased twenty-eight mills and twelve oil refineries, with plant, business and good Will. The British Oil and Cake mills, limited, has been organized to carry Into effect these agreeme nts made by him and his brok ers and conduct the business for tbe common advantage of tne majority of the trade. The share capital and de benture stock of tin, consolidated company is £2,250,000, hut £500,000 is reserved f ir future development of tho business. The British Oil and Cake Mills, lim ited, is an exact reproduction of sim ilar amalgamations in America, with the single difference In d.-tail that the stock i« not watered. The new com pany Is neither a trust nor a monopoly hut simply one of many Industrial amalgamations which are formed 1 ere as readily as in America. English law sanctions such consolidate ins and they receive the support of the greatest financiers, and there Is no popular agi tation against them. The Consolidated company will be powerful enough to control production the disposal of products and the im provement of plants will lie the reduc tion to the English oil trade. While allowing Mr. Bartlett to carry out his own plan without modification, the British trade is acting entirely for Itself and Independently of any Amer ican trade amalgamation. There is as yet no concerted action between trades of the two countries, nor any attempt to regulate prices by an international trust or combination. Some basts of common action may be arranged in the future. TEST MW RAND-FIRE GINS. Two Designs of SI* Founders Wlileli 1>1I|ik« Fievlous Records. NHW YORK. July 10— A new rapid fire gun designed for the protection of mine fields and a novel semi-auto matic • six-pounder for the navy lias been successfully tested on the prov ing grounds of the Driggs-Seubury Gun and Ammunition company at Derby, Cann. These guns were built for the army and navy respectively under contracts awarded at the begin ning of the war with Spain and will probably play an Important part in the plan and scope of national defense. The army gun Is a six-pounder of the Drlgg8 type and is mounted upon a parapet carriage, which admits of the piece being fired with the same rapid ity as upon a naval mount, while It can be easily transported from place to place. In fact, the new weapon ts a combination of a field and coast de fense gun. Its use will be principally to protect the torpedoes in the har bors by throwing such an overwhelm ing shower of shot and shell that no small boat could live within Its zone of fire. The semi-automatic gun Is also a six-pounder and is expected to work a revolution In rapid-fire guns, for, with It a speed of sixty shots per min ue was attained, which is twice the record by the slx-pounder when worked by hand. Another Important feature Is that It reduces a crew of a six-pounder from four to two men. one of whom throws fixed ammunition as a person throw’s coal into a furnace, while the other fires as the breech lock closes automatically.

The Times will print the following tomorrow: Lieforo ills departure from the city yesterday Secretary of War Alger had a word to say about the contest for the Michigan senatorshlp. He denied in the most positive manner the exist ence of any political combination be tween Governor l’lngree and himself, "There can he," lip said, ‘‘no polltl onn combination between Governor Pingree and myself, lie ause it would lie Impossible for mo, while a member of tiie cabinet, to form one with any body who is not in perfect accord with the president’s policy, and Governor Pingree Is known not to be.

July 10.—Tho ITIoa ragua ranal commlaHion has finished Ita present sitting In Washington and tho members have scattered to wind up their personal and professional hualness before starting for tho field. It has been settled that the field force taken from this country will number about seventy-five all told, In addition to whatever local help may be picked up on the Isthmus. The first party to leave this country will consist of Admiral Walker. Colonel Ernst. Mr. Ilnrr nnd Mr. Morrison, constituting the Panama committee, with probably two other members of the commission, who will leave here In about thirty days for l’arls. There they will examine the records of the Panama company and secure whatever data si obtainable In connection with that part of the work. It is possible they may visit Kiel before returning. Meanwhile the remainder of the commission in this country will do whatever is possible by correspondence with the several Central American governments who mav he Interested in the route to he finally selected.

Afterward the San Phis and several minor routes will he studied, so as to leave no possible question open when the survey Is fin ished. MAKES AGREEMENT BINDING. Contract Entered Into l»y a Trust !»*• elaml (limit. TRENTON, N. J„ July 10.—The New Jersey court of errors and appeals, In a very sweeping opinion, reversed the derision of Vice Chancellor Green of ♦ he Trenton Pottc les company vb. Richard Oliphant, et al. The Trenton Potteries company Is the so-called sanitary ware trust formed a few years ago by the purchase of five sanitary potteries in Trenton, including the Oliphant. The potteries selling out entered Into a written agreement not to Rtart again anywhere In the 1'nlted States, except In Nevada and Arizonn. The Oliphant started up again, and the vice chancelor refused to restrain the Oliphant. taking the ground that the contract was In restraint of trade. The court of errors today said It is not a question whether sanitary ware Is a reeesslty of life, and also remarked that the contract did not take out of business any large proportion of those engaged In It. The significant part of the opinion Is that corporations In New Jersey have, under legislative aids, the right to boy the capital stock and busi ness of other corporations, and that a contract such as that made by Oliphant would be necessary to secure the full benefit of such purchase The court holds the contract made bv Oliphant to be enforcible regardless of the ques tion whether It restrains trade or not. rrtkldritl^l rtMlniMlrr*.

If the negotiations had succeeded the action wool l have tiad a great moral effect, for others would doubt less have followed. Were the general’s name given It might lead In his case to a similar fate as that of others suspected of friendliness to the Americans. He had foreseen the failure of the insurrection and advised Agc.inaldo to make terms, Imt It is understood that he has sent word to the Americans that having sworn to support the in surrection, he must remain loyal to the end. Similar negotiations, It Is said are under consideration by a member of the cabinet of the so-raded Fllinino government, who himself took the In itiative. Some form of money consideration figured in the discussions with his friends.
