"At this ncaaon of the jear , " eold Mr. Cell ) or , "all gold hunters go to the Klon dike by way of Talya and Chllkoot pasa , and travel by way of the Yukon will not begin till Juno , a that 1vhon 1 the river clears ct Ice. Almost all the Klondike start from the I'ugct sound , the sea vovago being much ohortcr than from San Francisco. Some 10- 000 mio are starting for Alaska every month and the number Li continually on the in crease. It Is estimated that 100,000 will go during the seaaon and I think that Is not an excessive guess. When the boats which are fiozen In up In tht Yukon veturn with their rich cargo the fcvor will receive a great Im petus. There Is io question but those boatn will bring large quantltlt ? of gold.

"Puget sound la rapidly coming t the front In foreign trade , particularly In the trade with Japan and Ch'oia. ' Last year I'ugct Bound's foreign tiado waa $22,000,000 , which it twice as great aa It was the previous jear. Tacoma and Seattle arc eeveral hundred miles nearer Yokohama thnci San Francisco and are rapidly getting control of trade which . \ formerly wcnt'to San Kraincltico. Most all of - the tta Is now com'iig by way of Washington and In return Washington end large quan tities of lumber to Ch'ua and Japan. The lumber Interests are enormous In Washing ton During the panic the foreign trade In lumber remained unchanged and helped the state to Lrldgo over the panic. Washington lumber Is exported to South America , South Africa , China , and l i fact to all iparts of the world. Wheat Is a large export product aUo China never had much use for white biead till the war with Japan , but at that time the people acquired a taste for It and are now buying considerable wheat. China Is n much better market for American , products than Jopan. The balance of trade between the United States and Japan Is $20,000,000 In Japan' * f.iv-or. The Gcimana nnd English supply the Japanese with moat of their Im ports and Americans do not seem to bo able to compete with these Europeans. The only thirds wo are able to export to Japan In quantities are machinery acid tobacco. " nniM\v u\ TUB HATH DHCISIOY Ho Fri-ln Ci-rtalii Mint ( he SunrciiK Court In lllKhl. NCW YOUK , March 9. Discussing the decision of the United States supreme court In the Nebraska maximum freight rate case , Channcey M. Depow , president of the New Vorjt Central railroad , says : "Tho conten tion of the men who framed the Nebraska law and of the people In the other western states who agrco with thorn has 'beeu that for years the legislatures have had the right to confiscate railroad property -within their states by fixing rates so low as to leave no return to stock and bondholders. "Of course If the peoolo who have money to build railways believed that this doctrine would prevail no more rallwajs would bo built. If the doctrine had been sustained by the nuprcimo court there would have been a panic In rajlway securities. Every Investor would have understood that ho held his stock subject to Ita being made worthless by an act of sorno legislature. There Is now In bonds and stockn of rallwajs about $10,000 , 000,000 and most of the investments of the country are tjased on these. If that Invest mcnt Cin bo rendered worthless over nlghi by f. bill jammed through a legislature and approved by a governor In three hours no boJy would Invest In such property. Such a doctrlno , If carrcd out. would cause greater loss than our four years of civil war. The decision of the supreme court Is just wba every sound lawyer and business inau expected pected it would tic. "Tho legislature has the power to fix rates within llnea where the railways can live and get reasonable returns. As to vvhut a reason able rate Is , the supreme court would no decldo dually. This Is a new country and Tallwa > 8 are necessary to develop It. Thor are still Immenuo areas yet undeveloped which can never be developed without rail way lines. If that case had been decided In favor of the Nebraska , law , not nnothc mlle of railroad would have been built In that state. The railways now within th > jiborrtcra would not have maintained thel roadbed and equipment and. in five jean Nebraska would > have been far behind thi rest of the country , There would have fol lowed , Inevitably , a cut In expenditures aiu wages would Imvo gone down 25 per cent.

After tha Jury had been thanked1 and dis charged by Judge Woodward , District At- orney Martin asked that the defendants be required to continue their ball bond , as there are still seventeen Indictments for murder hanging over them and thirty-eight for feloniously wounding. The bond was continued as requested. District Attorney Martin says ho has not decided what to do with these other cases. The prosecuting committee , It Is said , will Insist upon further prosecution.

HAS NO FALSE noi'is. I am neither deceived or Influenced by false hopes nnd. know full wel ! what my prospect of success Is , with the delegate ma chinery In the hinds of the enemy , with the primaries and conventions EO nnnlpu- Inteil ni to defeat Instead of register the will of the voters , with the same high handed methods that were emp'o > cd to send an almost solid delegation to the last national convention Instructed for Sonatoi Quay , 'when an overwhelming majority of thn "tale wai for McKlnlev ; the manufac tured contests and bogus claims to bo sus tained by a state committee that can be rolled upon to seat enough contesting dele gates to give the machine candidate a ma jority , asva done at last > cat's state convention with the delegates of the Twenty-seventh district of Philadelphia , and the contest that It now pet up , without a scintilla of regularity or legality. In the Twenty-fourth district of Philadelphia , In volving six deles1 ites , nnd with a chairman who gives tlmelv warnings that the state organization will bo against mo If nom inated. Hut I am no more moved by these , condi tions than by the rumored deals of poli ticians , the thie.ats of character assassins , the tongue of slander , or the fact that nearly one-third of all the delegates to the next state convention have already been elected. I Ignore all personal considerations , I accept your Invitation as a rail of duty and making the Issue one of principle , not spoils , I am ready to f.o forward with you In your battle for political emancipation , convinced that the right will ultimately triumph nnd that the people desire to settle the question themselves and settle It this very year. If this action of yours In bringing me Into the field creates discord within party- ranks I take no blame therafor , as I have not solicited the nomination. Neither Is It essential that I bo elected governor. It will cost mo nbthlng to step nslde at any time for such a man as you nnd your associates agree to , who represents something more than a slate or the will of a perpetuating boss. I simply hold It to bo Imperative that someone shail be selected to whom the In terests of the state pan be Rifely entrusted , who shall represent the paople , not the edict of any one man. Therefore , let there be no misunderstand ing as to where the responsibility rests and let the republican voter demand a strict ac counting. With school funds long past duo nnd personal property taxes withheld from counties to allow the state treasurer to farm out millions of dollars to favorite banks , with a capital commission breaking down the restrictive barriers elected by popular sentiment and planning a building that will cost millions -when completed , with the knowlelge that Indemnity bonds , padded pay rolls , Lexow bills , legislative junketings and mileage giabbers will bo paid out of the state treasury , if the machine elects' ' Its governor , I am convinced from proofs In my hands from all parts of the state that the people are ready to unite with you In driving back the bosses and re-entering up on their original Inheritance. The next chief executive of Pennsylvania must b ; a man possessing the fullest confi dence of the people , without a Lexow col lar and free from every stamp of the ma- shlno. When the people rise they are all- powerful to declare the end of mlsgovern- ment of cities * and states. It may taVe time and toll but there must be many true men and women In Pennsylvania ready to take a stand and remain standing until a new- order of politics Is an accomplished fact. Somebody must begin. I am ready to do my part. The fight must be fought and fought to the finish If It takes all summer , with the autumn and winter thrown In. My views In detail as to the live Ifsues of the hour I may have the honor to give hereafter. JOHN WANAaiAKKU. SAIMOTATKS TO THE OATTtEMEV. 'Amoclntlon nrclilm to Mret In Fort Worth Next Venr.

The cattle and sheep business , whlc.li &t one time only a year ago was a. meat "Important Industry , yielding thousands of _ dollars In revenue to the territorial trcasuryiis fast going out of existence entirely otf ) account of the ravages of the thieves. Thqi large stock firms have been literally driven from the ranges. Sev eral have just saved3 themselves from bank ruptcy by hurriedly ] selling oft tholr cattle before the losses became/too / great.

The board Is separate from a similar organization of sheep men and was ap pointed by the governor. It Is empowered to appoint at pleasure any number of special Insi cctors , who receive : a certain salary from the state. The plan which has been sug gested Is to form an organization much simi lar to those proposed for Colorado , Utah and W > omlng men accustomed to frontier life , courageous and with sullklent power to put summary end to the outlaws.

I In view of the fact that the city main tains a milk Inspection department and cm- plojsin Inspector to collect samples of all the milk sold In the city and make frequent teatfl It Is thought by many that the pub lic should be apprised of the result of these tests. Ordinarily the milk Inspector reports once a month to the city council and gives the number of samples of milk tested and the proportion falling below the established standard , A great many people seem to think that the result of three tests should bo published once a month at least , -thn same as ordinances are published. In this way the people who pay taxes to support this system of Inspection would bo advised of the quality of milk sold by the different dealers. It Is understood that this matter will come up for discussion at the next meeting of the city council. In this connection It Is stated by Inspector Carroll that some of the dealers are careful to sell milk which Is just above the stand ard while others dispose of an article which runs 4 and 5 per cent butter fat. ( According to the record of tests made by the Inspector which Is on file at the city ofllccs , one milk dealer who Is not a member of the union la selling much bettor milk than a great many of the union deal ers who arc fighting him.
