lowing Interesting manner:
"STEAMSHIP GARONNE, June 15. Did I
ever confide to you a longing that I hae
ome time cherished for a protracted eea
voyage? My desires are in process ot full
rattufactlon, ThU It the seend day of
the fourth week that this ship ha been the
home of myself and 097 other voyagers as
piring to epend the summer In the fabled
gold diggings of Nome.
"Night before last the Garonne ncbored
la Dutch Harbor, upon white placid waters
It Is now at rest, after a week's crulte
600 miles to the north in a vain attempt to
find a way through the Ice floes that lay
thwart its course to Nome for 150 miles
The situation was the more unpromising
because much ot the time all objects wero
wholly obscured by dense fog. As the
huge lco cakes would bump against the
ship's tides it trembled from stem to
tern, but as no wood enters Into Its etruc
ture It was In no danger ot 'shivering
1U timbers.' On the 11th Commander
Conradl gave It up and headed bis ship
for this port to replenish Its supply ot coal
and provisions.
In an IdenI I'ort.
"Dutch Harbor Is at longitude ICS degrees
30 minutes west, latitude 53 degrees 40
minutes north, 1,900 miles northwest of
Eoattle and 742 south by a trifle west
from Nome. It Is an ideal deep water
port, three miles in length by two broad,
opening Into Bering sea through a passage
halt a mile In width. Ai ships enter moun
tains project directly from the water to the
right and left, while In front and a couple
of miles apart are the docks of the two
commercial companies controlling the coast
trade In Alaska the Alaska Commercial
company and the North American, or the
A. C company and the 'N. A.' company, as
they am generally designated. Both are
San Francisco Institutions. For twenty
years prior to 1S90 the Alaska Commercial
company had the exclusive right ot taking
reals In the Frlbllof islands, being twenty
four hours northwest of here. During that
period fortunes were made by the Alaska
Commercial company's stockholders, as seal
skins commanded high prices, and there
wore few, If any, restrictions upon the num
ber that might be slaughtered. in 1SJ0
the North American Commercial company

wresting from It the franchise that had
proved so valuable, but upon terms that
havo cut off most of the profits because of
the greater royalties and restrictions.
"As to sealing on the Pribllofs. you are
aware that during the spring and early sum
mer seals from the wide seas over are wont
to congregate there for the purpose of giv
lng birth to their batten, teaching them lo
nwlrn and otherwise acquainting them with
their surroundings. Seals are polygamous
creatures, and since one male has numerous
wives, it results that bachelors also abouu'l.
It Is the poor bachelorb whose warm coats
protect and adorn so many fashionable maids
and matrons, and thus It comes to pass that
bachelor seals, like bachelor men and
women, often subserve a more useful. It less
agreeable, end than their more fortunate
rivals.
Trntta nf the Aleut..
"While ashore yesterday I picked up some
Information about Unalaska, the Aleut Ml

Commercial company are located, and
also about the Alruta as a folk
Though I fancy by no means ancient.
the settlement dates back to times when
the memory of man runneth not. The per
manent population numbers 375, of whom
all are Aleuts but eight Russians and six
Americans with their 'amities. If there Is
any white blood in an Aleut be arrogates
to himself the term Creole, a post of honor
In his estimation midway between Aleut and
Russian. It he can find a shadow ot an ex
cure for claiming that he has Russian blood
then he lt a Russian. To be Russian Is to
have blue blood and, metaphorically speak
lng, to belong to the tribe ot Benjamin
From Russia the Aleut has derived his re
llglon and all he knows ot law and order.
He Is Invariably a devout adherent ot the
Greek church. The Russian missionary has
not only given him his faith, but has made
of him a peaceful and gentle being when
not drunk.
"Unfortunately, however, the Greek
church has so many holidays 200 out of the
305 that the poor Aleut Indulges In frcquen
Reasons ot Intoxication, as he knows of no
way of celebrating church festivities other
than by quaffing unseemly large potations ot
n home-brewed beverage which he call
-quass, During tne ween or festivities a
Easter and the fortnight at Christmas the
Aleutians go from house to house drinking
quass and Unreins, Quaes firs', exbiltrate
and then enervates, so each night a festlvl

slumber.
"Unalaska Is the chief ton ot all the
Aleutian archipelago, or well as ot the Island
of Unalaska. The InsUtutioni ot the tows
are the cathedral, the Russian missionary
school tot boys, the American public school
and an orphan home. The first church build
ing was erected In 1S04 and the present
structure In 1SP5. The building hat two
minarets after the rathlon ot the Greek
churches. The priest. Alexander Kedrotky,
visits all the Aleutian Islands, performing
marriage and other religious ceremonies for
the natives. The building cost 16.000 and
was built from funds contributed by the
Aleute, the decorations In the form ot sa
cred pictures alone having been donated
from Russia. The Russian mission school
Is attended by twenty boys, wno are under
the tuition of Rev. John Venlamlnoff.

"Afternoons the boys go to the public
school taught by a smart black-eyed young
woman from Oregon, who bat au enrollment
of seventy-six pupils, thirty-six being
Aleuts, thirty-five Creoles and five Eskimo.
The orphanage is one ot the Home Mission
ary Institutions sustained by the Methodist
Episcopal church. It furnishes a home at
present for twenty orphans picked up from
natives In all this part of Alaska. I met the
so-called chief of the Aleuts, a gentle old
man of 71, who Invited me to his home. He
was born In Siberia but has lived in Un
alaska thirty years and can speak English
fairly. The chief decorations of the house
consisted of two pictures of the crar and hla
pretty family. He showed me two books,
recent publications, of a religious nature,
one In Russian and the other tn the Aleutian
tongue. I expressed my surprise that the
Aleutian was a written language, where
upon the old gentleman summoned his wife,
a buxom young Aleut of 30, who claimed that
she could read In Russian, Aleut and
English, The Aleut book was published in
Russia and I suppose was' the work of some
Russian missionary The form of the letters
was altogether different from those In the
Russian book, some of the latter being du
plicates of the alphabet of classical Green.
"Up in Bering sea, next to the ice fields,
the thermometer ranged from 32 to 40 de
grees; here It ran up to 71 yesterday. The
region abownds in interesting phenomena
which I must retrain from mentioning this

WEST POINT, N. T., June 21. (Corre
spondence of The Bee.) The United States
Military academy at Wist Point, N. V.,
Is a school by itself. There is nu oth r
institution like It in the mo, Id, nor Is Uerj
another one to compato with it, with ttie
ono notable exceptUn of the United italts

in Its line. Is quite a excel. eut. To .Ik

the superiority ot the United Statei M.I.

the numerous advantages that are to oe
obtained only at West Point. Now, at th.s
period of army and navy lncnaie, addi
tional Interest centers at the great na
tional academics.
What Is the first coneld ption of a
young man when he looks about him for
his college Expense? It Is a regretabie
fact that with many circumstances require
a respectful consideration ot the financial
side. At West Point tho tu.tioa Is f ee
and an allowance of 145 per month IJ
granted the cadet for his .expenses. Con
sidering the necefsary expenditure! It .s
not a very munificent sum and It has been
proposed to Increase the pay to $75. T'-e
cadet Is not allowed to recelre money from
home. Even It bis father is many t.m s
a millionaire and has b-en accustomed to
make his son a yearly allowance of 10,000.
not one cent Is he permitted to rcce.'ve now
His correspondence is not opercl, but a 1
packages are. and If proh blted arllcles are
found the cadet is dlre:ted to return them
at once.
But probably the curriculum receives
from the prospective ealiege student as
much attention as anything. He looks at
his catalogues and perhaps regatds that
came out ot the battle ot Brandy station
In 1SC3 with only one leg. The celeb. atlou

Kxartlnc Examination...
Tbe examinations at tho Point are most
exacting, sometimes consisting of a single
question. In geometry, for Instance, a
single question is often given to test the
cadet's knowledge of tbe entire text. There
are two examinations, the Janumy and the
June. A failure In any subject at either
one means that he must walk out, "ye
east sally-port." This kind of examination
has its disadvantages as well as Its merits.
Last January one cadet who bad been given
up as doomed, who had no hopes at all, was
lucky enough to draw the one problem In
physics which he was able to demonstrate
and so escaped. Several others received
Just the ones that sent them under. But
It 1b safe to say that no one Is graduated
from West Point who does not thoroughly
master every Item ot the mental discipline.

There are about 350 cadets at the acad

and seven professors, assisted by about
tlxty instructors and assistant instructors.
There are plenty of teachers nnd carh has

his undivided attention.
I'h)ipnl T-l.
The physical education received at the
Point is not less valuable than the mental.
How often we hear of the sunken chests,
and the round shoulders of college men.
The cadets drill all summer and to a much
less extent, all winter, too. Gymnasium at
tendance is required every day and one Is
put through exercises until he is almost
competent to go with a circus as an athletic
ptrformer. Fencing is carried to a high de
gree of perfection and honemanship is
thoroughly taught. The equestrian evolu
tlons which the cadets must learn are ad
mirable. but very reckless. Running and
swimming are practiced in the summer to
a great txtent.
The Intercollegiate athletics, which are
ot so much Interest in all colleges, are not
so flourishing at West Point, simply be
cause the cadets do not havo the time
to spare to them- Saturday afternoons are
mu'-h spent in foot ball and this Is really
the only time available for practice. Still
a good many games are played. At the toot
bail match with Annapolis at Philadelphia
last year West Polut was the victor.
The social advantages to be bad at tbe
Point are exceptional. The fact is not to
be overlooked that the cadets gather from
every state in the union and occasionally
from foreign countries. There are attend
lng at present a Central American, one or
two South Americans nnd perhaps other
foreigners. It has a broadening effect to
discuss questions with representatives from
all points of the country and tends to undo
sectional prejudice and habits. Tbe south
ern question was presented to me in quite
a new light by a Maryland friend, whose
only regret was that his state didn't se
cede In '61. And It will also be found that
the New Englander, the New Yorker, tbe
southerner, tbe westerner, have peculiari
ties of speech, which are by companionship
neutralized to a degree and rendered less
offensive to sensitive ears.
Summer Ilerrration
During tho summer, when tbe cadets live
In camp and all studying is tabooed, there
are usually three hops a week alternating
with band concerts. Tber do not often last
beyond 10 30, tor tbe regulations are rigid
and all lights must be out at 11 p. m. There
la no scarcity ot girls, for West Point and
the neighboring villages swarm In summer
with fair ones from New York and in fact
the rest of tbe country, all who dance be
ing friends or relatives of the cadets or
ihe otTcers of the post. Often the Vassar
girls come down from Poughkeercle. those
who are not fortunate enough to possess a
West Point friend perhaps securing one
through the mediation ot a common ac
quaintance. Occasionally some social event
enlivens the monotony of winter stud.
There were three hops and a thwtri'-al play
by the cadets during my two months' stay
at Highland Falls last winter
Besides the regular United States Mili

at West Point. The cadets haie a Young
Men's Christian association meet.ng tw e
a week throughout the year in whl. h those
interested take part. Bi't the literary so
cieties so prominent In other colUges are
lacking. There Is a secret society or two.
the most prominent being that of the Hod
carrier. Habits ot neatness, cleanliness, method,
precision, thoroughness and a high sense ot
honor are thoroughly Ingrained in the char
acter ot the cadet The most lnilgnlfl ant

cadet arrives at drill ten seconds late. If a

cuff Is not faultlessly adjusted be is given
demerits nnd obliged to fail out of ranks
to properly arrange his toilet There Is a

this limit Is reached the calet is immed

rigid than that of any other school tn the
world much more Iron-like than that ot the
regular army. Indeed, It seems unneces
