Warning Against Klondike Hold Fields. Salt by the - Cramps Against the Government. Journal Burkau, WAsnniOTOM, D. C, Aug, 13. . There is a serious question of veracity between Hon. John Sherman, Secretary ot State, and a number of prominent newspaper men of Washington and of New York, concerning certain utterances ot Mr. Sherman on the assassination of the Spanish Premier and its probable effect upon Cuba, and on the general at titude of England towards the United States, which were published as intei views with Mr. Sherman. The newspa per men, who are among the most prom inent in the business, declare that Mr. Sherman used the language they quo ted, while Mr. Sherman declares most emphatically, both verbally and in a signed communication to a l:cal paper, that he did nut. This controversy has revived the talk about ago telling upon the faculties of Mr. Sherman, whicli was quite prevalent when he left Washington several days before the adjournment of Congress. It was his personal friends who first began to talk about his failing memory. Mr. Sherman Is now lu his seventy-fifth year, but the world Is full of men older than he whoso mental fac ulties are at their best. It is queer what different views are taken of the same thing. When Secretary Alger took charge of the War Depart ment he found a system under wbich the watchman of that department made daily reports of the goings and comings ot the clerks snd promptly abolished it, believing that better results would be Obtained by putting the clerks on their honor. Now the abolished system of the War Department has been adopted by the Treasury Department. There is no doubt of the good inten tions of Secretary Bliss in issuing that official warning to the Klondyke-bound public, which was published this week. Nor is there any doubt that all the dan gers euumeratcd in that warning exisit, aye. nnd more; but who ever heard of a man with the gold fever in his veins being turned aside by warnings of dan ger ahead ot him. Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota, was in Washington this week, but he wasn't worrying about political or other puMio matters, as he1 came to see Miss Chapman, to whom he will he married next Monday, In New York. In view of the large sums of money Cramps have received from the govern ment ib the shape of premiums for speed in excess of the requirements in the war vessels they have built for the govern nicnt, there was much surprise in Wash ington when they Hied a suit in the Couit of claims against the United Stntes gov eminent for damage aggregating $1,780,- 149, which they claim to have sustained by reason of delay and defaults on the part of tho government in furnishing the armor plate and plans while the battle ships Massachusetts, Iowa, and Indiana, and (the cruisers New York, Brooklyn and Columbia were being constructed by them. While Congress has nothing to do with the Court of Claims, it is prjb able that members of Congress who think the Cramps have been exceedingly well treated in all their dealings with the government will have something to say about these claims next winter. Opposition to Everything. Only Ten Townships Carried for School Tax. Use of Convicts on Roads. Naval Reserves to Cruise. Not the Sight Man. Raleigh, N. C, August 13 .The Pop ulist State Committee was in session here until 2 o'clock last night. It appointed a 'committee composed of A. S. Pence, Cyrus Thompson, Hal. Ayer J. II. Sher rill and V. J, McArthur, to prepare an address stating the party's position and attitude. The central idea was set forth by Senator Butler to be a reduction of freight and passenger rates,on the railway election of railway commissioners by the people, anuulinent'of the lease of the N. G. railroad to the Southern, opposition to all kinds (monopolies and trusts, advb cacy of free silver and financial reform. is interesting to know that silver and reform ar eplaced last. It seems that in only ten townships, so far as heard from, was the school tax election successstil last Monday. Not a solitary township was carried in this county. The State hires all the New Hanover convicts, for use at the phosphate mines at Castle lliiyne. The use of convicts pn the public roads is proving a great thing for North Caro lina. In forty counties they are used in tills way. Between November 1st and April 1st the State convict" may be hired by counties which desire them. Many will be thus tuken. Some of the cotton mills arc shutting down for lack of cotton, They are em ploying the vacation in cleaning and re pairing mischinery. The North Carolina naval reserves will have a tour of duty on the monitor Nun tucket and the steam yacht J.ily. The Populists are making strenuous efforts to effect a reconciliation between Senator Butler and Harry Skinner. For some reason not known here Skin ner did not attend the committee meeting yesterday, or rather last night. Before Judge Walter Clark this after noon here George Davis, the negro sus pected of rape in Chowan county, ap peared in habeas corpus proceedings. The Ohowan people wrote yesterday that he was not the man. &AKifJ0 P017DER Absolutely Pure Celebrated for its irreat leavening strength and healthfuliiess.

PlrrSBuno, Pa., Aug. 12. The much- talked-of bi 11 for an injunction against the United Miue-Workcrs, which it was intended to file in the United States courts, was filed in the county courts today by counsel for the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company. The company sets forth that it is a cor poration under the laws of Pennsylvania, with a capital of a million dollars iuvest- efd in coal lands ot Pennsylvania. Three of its mines, employing twelve hundred men, are at Plum Creek, Turtle Creek and Sandy Creek. The bill then recites the conditions Drevailing nt the mines since the strike began, ami alleges that the strikers have paid no attention to the sheriff's proclamation and that the lives of miners and the properly of the com pany are in danger. 102 94 1 9:H 1028 90 9:!S Yesterday's market quotations furnish ed by II.

The block ade of Klondikers at Dyea and Bknguay will lead to much suffering this winter. Captain Amcx, who was the pilot of the steamer Islander, which has just returned from the North, says that thiugs arc in very bad shape. Two thousand people are camped along the rocky shore, with but few horses or pack animals at hand, and they have no. chanco of getting over the pass. One of the United States commissioners, by bis official influence and paying 400 in coin, managed to get the Indians to pock his outfit over the Chilkoot Pass to the lakes. Of tho others who went from Puget sound without horses not one in fifty will gel across the mountains till winter. '' Seven Seattle men who went up In the blander returned 'on ber to Victoria, utterly disgusted with the prospect, ana will remain at home till spring, when they expect to make another start. Those who have hones and boats atand fairly good chance of getting through, but the start must be made before winter comes on. IN BRITISH YI8SEH.
