"Washington, D. (J., Oct. 25.
Governor Urady, of Alaska, suys in Ins
annual report to the Secretary of the In
terior: "Ship load alter ship load of gold
seekers and their freight has been rushed
to the extreme limit of suit water navi
gation (Bynn Canal), uud there they
have been literally dumped upon the
beach, some above high water and nianj
below, as tbey learned to their sorrow
when tho water covered them as they
slept. The gold seekers hare hud a terri
ble time, but they are brave and started
out to endure-hardships. As a class they
rank far above the average manhood of
the country. Skagua is being limit up
rapidly, Lumber is in demand, mid lots
are selling as high as 1,500. Americans
are anxious to secure a route to I lie
Yukon, which shall be entirely upoti U.
S. territory. Different parties nrc now
out, and aro carefuHy examining the
mountains between Yukutat and Cook's
Inlet. This is I lie third season of the
work in Cook's Inlet. The excitement
over the Klondike has drawn many away
from there; nevertheless the output of
gold this year will be no mean sum. The
possibilities of the whole region border
ing upon tliis inlet and upon Prince
William Sound will draw crowds of ad
venturers in the near future."
The Secretary of the Treasury who
doesn't change or attempt to change the
designs of the paper money issued by the
government is regarded by the old timers
in the department as n freak, lc will be
remembrced that a new and highly ar
tistic series of designs for silver certili
cites was secured and put into use by
the last administration. That these dc
ligns are the most beautiful ever used for
the purpose is admitted, but a goodly
percentage of the banks of the country
have entered protest against continuing
their use because of the difficulty, after
the notes have circulated awhile in (lis-
tinguishiug the denominations at a glance
and the ease with which the value of the
notes arc raised and passed upon the
ignorant. That is why Secretary Gage
has decided to have another change in
design. If Secretary Gage's idea is car
ried out, and it probably will be, the
same design will be used upon all notes
of the same value and it will be made
simple and distinctive so ns to become
associated in the minds of the people
with notes of that value, thus making it
almost impossible to fool anybody witli
raised note. Secretary Gage's idea was
discussed at the last meeting of the Cabi
net and was favored on account of its
simplicity. Bankers and all who handle
money in large quantities will fuvor the
idea because it will enable them to han
dle and assort notes with greater speed.
Senator Piatt was in Washington a
short time within forty-eight hours, and
although he denied that bis visit was for
any such purpose, it is believed among
the politicians that his principal object
was to get President McEinley to write
a personal letter expressing his desire fcr
the election of Geo. Tracy to be Mayor of
New York. While there Isn't tl.e
slightest doubt that President McKinlcy
wishes the Success of Gen. Tracy, it is
doubtful whether he will consider it
either good policy or good politics to say
o over his signature. lie lias a dread of
being charged with meddling witli local
affairs, even in his own state. He con.
aiders it perfectly proper for Secretary
Bliss to be actively working for Men.
Tracy, because he Is a citixen of New
York, and as each Is personally inter
ested In its city government.

eight persons were killed.
Neither the engineman nor the fireman

death at his post. Behind them came an

1 he fact that-Vanuerbilt took 7U pre

Fair last week looks rather unfair. The
farmer who lias little spare cash puts
forth every effort to make a creditable

the premium money, and he hits to com
pete, for these premiums, with a man
who lias unlimited cash to make his ex
hibit a perfect one. The Biltmore ex
hibit could get all the diplomas and hon
orable mention, but let the cash prizes go
to the farmers.

REPLY OF SPUN.

Determined to Suffer! no Interfer

Against Filibusters. Supported
by the Spanish Press. A
Critical Singe.
Special to Journal.
Washington, October 25.-Th defi
nite reply to Spain by the diplomatic note
of the United States containing the de
mands of this government in regard 1"
Cuba is the cause of war talk at all the
European capitals.
The London papers all declare that the
attitude of Spain towards tiie I'mteil
States will be definite and firm and tliey
predict a rupture between the two coun
tries. The hurried return of Gen. William F.
Draper, the United States Abassndor, to
Koine in connection with the reply of
Spain causes comment among foreign
governments.
Madrid, October 21. Spain's reply to
the note of the United States, hinting ai
moderation in Cuba and requesting an
answer before the end of this mouth, was
placed in the hands of the American Jlin
ister here, General Woodfoid. The draft
of the reply, made by Foreign Minislei
Gallon, was unanimously approved by
th ! Cabinet.
The communication is courteous in
tone, but very determined in rejecting
the substauce of the American note.
Spam resolutely asserts her determina
tion to settle the Cuban question hci-scll
without foreign assistance or interfer
ence of any kind. She declines to tix
any date for the pncific.ition ,f t'uha.
which she proposes to bring about as sin
sees fit, by foice of arms an. I by politi
cal reforms, culminating in autonomy,
combined."
The press today unanimously approved
the attitude of the Sagasta Cabinet ;.s
being in touch with national sentiment,
the p.'ople having become weary of hi?
predecessor's policy of continuous con
cessions to American diplomacy.
The Spaniards seem to he certain that
their relations with America are :i
proaching a grave and critical stage.
A government note protesting against
filibustering will be handed to I nitj-,1
States Minister Woodford tomorrow.
