Office Seekers Collectively Have
Weieht. Secretary Long Starts
ob a Summer Crnlse Along
the Seaboard. No War and
no Arbitration.
Journal Bureau. )
Washington, D. 0., Aug. 2.)
There are lots of men who would give
much to be in the place of Mr. Samuel
C. Dunham, who has started for the new
gold fields of . Alaska, armed with a
special commission to make a thorough
investigation and report just what he
learns to the U. 8. Government. Mr.
Dunham Is a mining expert and is at
tached to the Labor Bureau. It was
known that the government intended
sending a man on this errand, but it was
purposely kept secret who the man was
until after Mr. Dunham got started. It
is not expected that he will be able to
make a report before about the middle of
next year. -.
. "Do you know why the administration
ohanged its plans as to sending troops to
the Alaskan gold fields V asked one
prominent army officer of onother who
had just arrived In , Washington. "No."
replied the other, "I don't,and the explan
ations I have seen of the sudden change
of program have not been at all satis
factory." "Well," said the first speaker,
"I can tell you the real reason, but you
will not find it in any official record. It
was in short the fear that the troops would
get the gold fever and desert as soon as
they got within reach of the gold; it was
concluded that the average enlisted man
was not of the sort to successfully pass
through such a temptation as would ne
cessarily be placed before them by their
proximity to the Klondyke gold hunters
and their suddenly acquired fortunes."
Individually the office seekers -who
have crowded the lobby just outside of
the President's office, on the second floor
of the White Ilouse, may have lacked
the weight needed to get what they
wanted, but collectively they were heavy
enough to have made (the floor sag in the
center to a depth of four inches. Had
the crowds which frequented the East
Room, which is directly underneath, on
President's McKinley's handshaking days
known' the condition of this floor as they
waited for the President, Maj. McKinley
would have shaken many thousand
fewer bands, and there might even have
been few office-seekers had they been in
formed of the danger they were in every
time they tried to see the President.
Workmen are now engaged in strength
ening this floor. ' ,
Administrations bay come and' ad
ministrations may go, but the Secretary
of the Navy who doesn't find it neces
sary to "Inspect" something along the
Atlantic coast during the vacation season
is yet to assume office. Secretary Long,
aboard of the Dolphin, has gone to cast
bis official optica upon the naval station
at New London, Conn., and the War
College, at Newport, It, I. .
The last prop was knocked from under
the industrious newspaper men who
have been eogaged in manufacturing
news showing the certainty of a war
batween the U. 8. and Japan by the
official announcement that Japan had
accepted the proposition of Hawaii to
arbitrate their dispute concerning the
immigration and other laws of Hawaii.
Members of the administration say that
this government will hare nothing what
ever to do with the arbitration, unless it
should fall to be concluded before the
formal .annexation of Hawaii to the
United Slates. In that case Japan would
deal directly with this government after
annexation.

New Yokk, August 2. Hie sentiment
favoring low prices in stocks wns the in
fluence lit the opening Loudon linlHuy
and the serious nxpert in the mining
district, being Ihe influence for lower
prices.
Although a narrow market for Hail-
ways, t lie favorable reports from the corn
district out weighed the bearish sentiment
and the closirg p' ices were one per cent
higher.
The si'ong features were the indus
trials, under the 'eadersblp of Sugar ad-
vnnc'ng from two to four points.
The toiion trade was more active and
the feel'"g favoring higher prices.
The shuUiiijj down of the New Eng
land mills to decrease surplus stocks and
advance prices, was considered a bullish
feature, and prices closed about the top
of advance with the feeling favorable.
Wheat. Private cables showed foreign
markets higher.
Prices after pdvanr iug over one cent
a I) us 1 1 el reacted on an increase ot two
mi'l'on bushels in the visible supply, fund
laree rerbipts.
Ti e market may have a reaction of a
couple of cent, when purchases will
reap a profit. The position of wheat was
never si ronger.
We believe uUiinatelv that farmeifi
will get one do"nr n bushel for their
wheat.
