A REINDEER EXPRESS new scheme for a line op COM- MUNICATION TO THE KLONDIKE . GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTING. BIG DHMAXD FOR REINDEER FOR FREIGHTING 1'URPObES. Idea in Starting a Reindeer Farm Wns to Proldc Food for Fuinlsh- - Idk Eskimos Government Schools in Alaska Gold Ivlnir Return. Washington, Aug. 23. Some interesting statements relating to the sold region in Alaska and the reindeer experiment there arc brought out in the annual statement of United States Commissioner of Educa- tion Harris submitted It describes in detail the progress of the mining, the growth of Circle City, Dawson and the Klondike district, tho two principal routes, via St. Michael's and via Chilcoot pass. Touching on the importance of extending the Introduction of reindeer into that ter- ritory, the report says the reindeer stations ought to be ablo to furnish 500 reindeer trained to the harness at once for the uso of tho miners on the upper Yukon river. "It was my purpose." tho commissioner goes on, "to detail three of tho skilled herdsmen and thirty trained reindeer to the Yukon region the present summer." If this arrangement is carried out as In- structed, an important experiment will be in progress during the coming year at the gold mines. The plan of the bureau has been to arrange a reindeer express con- necting towns in a line from Bering straits to Kadlak Island. Superintendent of Reindeer Stations Kjollmannl last Sep- tember proved the practicability of this by making a trial trip on this route. Two of his party were able to take the steamer at Katmal, sailing to Sitka in March. This arrangement once completed, it will be posslblo for business companies in San Francisco and other cities to hold com- munication with their whaling fleets dur- ing the winter north of the Arctic circle. There have been maintained in Alaska twenty day schools under the supervision of the interior department, with twenty-thre- e teachers nnd an enrollment of 1,267 pupils. A public school was opened at Circle City, in tho Yukon mining district, but the department's agent, writing from St. Michael's, says he is afraid he will be forced to discontinue it because of the exodus of the city's population Into the region nearer tho recently discovered mines. The Influx of miners into the Yukon has caused a demand for reindeer for freight- ing purposes. In the original plan for the purchase and distribution of reindeer, ref- erence was had to securing a new food supply for the famishing Eskimos of the Bering sea and the Arctic ocean re- gion, but it is now found that reindeer are as essential to the white men as the Eski- mos. The wonderful Yukon placer mines are situated twenty-fiv- e to one hun- dred miles from the greater stream. Pro- visions brought from the south and landed on the banks of the river are with great difficulty transported to tho mines on the tributary streams. Last winter mongrel dogs for transpor- tation purposes cost from $100 to $200 each nnd freight charges from the river to the mountains range from 15 to 0 cents per pound. The trained reindeer make in a day two or three times the distance covered by dog teams and have the advantage that they can use tho abundant moss as food. A RETURNEDJ50LD KING. Frank Phlscator, Owner of $.",000,000 of AInsknn Riches; "Which He Dag; Up in Fifteen Month. Frank Phlscator is back from tho Klon- dike with bis pockets full of nuggets, his purso full of drafts and five times a mili- - FRANK PHISCATOR. FIVE-TIM- E MILL- IONAIRE. ionaire. He became a gold king In fifteen months. Ho went "West with money he earned sawing wood. He was backed by two strong arms, a brave heart and a constitution as tough as a knot. He ran a race with death over glaciers, crags and passes, through raging rivers, canons and rapids. Into frozen lakes, killing storms, murderous Insects and pests, past starvation, along yawning chasms and under avalanches. Phlscator says the pay Is not worth the risk. He declares there is only one kind of man that can get to the creeks one trained In the hardships of the wilderness, hardened by years of hard lights with act- ual frontier life and one versed in all the accomplishments which aro acquired in a country where the best man is he who gets hW pistol out first. A courso of thirteen years in such a school put him into fairly good condition, but the year's jaunt into the Arctic circle pulled sixty pounds of flesh from his bones. The man who gets through it comes out only by accident the rule being that his bones aro left in the Ii-- ami snow. Phlscator looks tho sort of a man he would build for this journey. Ho is short. stocky, weighs 230 pounds. He has a sharp, clear eye an eyo of a man that would shoot rather than bo shot. His upper lip curls up in an expression of recklessness. His hair is jet black. His neck Is short. Ho walks "with a swagger, shakes hands with a hard tug, takes his bracers straight, wears the big, white hat of the "West. "When he talks he looks squarely at one, and his talk has the ring of rough honesty. There is nothing on earth that would frighten him. He was not afraid to plunge Into upper Laska alone and single handed. This Is what ho says: "I tell you It was never Intended that any human being should live in the Klondike country, and a great many of the poor fellows who have Ftartod will never have a chance of trying It. They will dlo along the roid." Speaking of his journey to the Klondike, he says: "We met some prospectors as we got near Lake Bennett. They were out of food and were living off the meat thev had made of their dogs. We did not have any more than we would need, but what can you do when men rome to you with the plea that they are starving" Flour in that country was worth 5S0 for fifty pounds, hut it had no prico with mo when I saw tho poor wretches who were thinned down to skeletons. They were going back. 1 never heard whether they got out or not. "Lnke Bennett was where we built our boat. The Indians brousht down tho log", while I sawed them into boards and then built our ship. A man named Van Wagner joined us here and went through the game. He was a lawyer in Seittle. but ho was made of the right stuff Our ship was about thirty feet long and six feet wide, and It was put together to stay. It wasn't very pretty to look at. but I guess it would have held its own against anything this bide of a glacier. "It was beginning to break up in the spring and it was much easier sailing than It had been sledding. This lake Is about thirty miles long. We got over It In three days, without arcident. It was, however, only the calm beforo the storm, since when we drifted into Lake Tagus all the furies on earth and under it were let loose. It blew so hard I really thought the earth would be blown to pieces. The snow fell almost a foot at a time, coming down in gicat Fhects nnd emptying Itself into tho fcoat. We only went three miles in two davs, and were glad of that. Tho snow cov- ered up the holes in the ice, and time and again wo sank Into the too water up to our necks. It was part sledding and p.trt tail- ing, and every minute liable to be tho Iat. "The Tagus Indians have a post at the bottom of this lake, and we stopped a d.iy with them, rating large quantity of frozen cariboo, which was sickening in its filth but nourishing after one got it down. It seemed as If we were rating twice as much as we did at home. I tell you I pity the men who have started to the Klondike this year, when I read the supplies they have taken. Thcv will run short before they get half-wa- v. There is no hope for them. It Is likely those who go next spring will find rows of whlto boards on both sides of the trail. They aro gone." NEW YORKERS INVESTING. Klondike Companies 'Willi nn Aggre- gate Capitalisation of SOLOOO,-OO- O Organised In Godinm. New York. Aug. 23. The interest of In the Klondike is enormous. Near- ly every skyscraper in the downtown dis- trict has as a tenant at least one Klon- dike company. Their aspirations are as high as the building, and such a thing as failure docs not enter Into consideration. Even George Gould has become interest- ed in a mining company which, beginning In British Columbia, reached out to Alas- ka. His name appears with those of Rich- ard I LonMerry, Dr. H. Seward W ebb.and D. J. Sellgmnn, of the banking house of Scllgman fc Co., in the list of directors of a Canadian development company, having its headquarters at Toronto.

United State Geological Survey to Send nn InvestlKatln&r Par- ty Next Spring. Washington, Aug. 23. Early next spring a party will bo sent out from the geological survey to make another Investigation of gold resources in Alaska. An appropria- tion of JJ5.000 was asked from congress last year, but the amount was cut down to $3,000. This was not available in time to send a party last season, but it will bo used in dispatching probably three survey ex- perts, headed by Professor Shurr, already a recognized authority on Alaska, and an effort will be made to have congress raise tho appropriation to about the same asked for last year. If this should be granted, mire than ono party will go. They will probably stay until the latter part of Au- gust, though plans havo not been deter- mined. The mission Is to compile authentic data on which another more complete re- port will be based, and to make an ac- curate survey and geological map of the country. TRAIL STILL IMPASSABLE. No More Thnn Twenty Miner Have Crossed "White Pass in Three "Weeks. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 23. The steamer Ro- salie, which arrived here to-d- from Dyea and Skaguay, reports that there about 4,000 peoplo at Skaguay and that the trail is still impassable. About 900 miners are working upon it, and it is expected that it will be ready in a few weeks. Not over twenty men have crossed over In the last three weeks. At Dyea, the minors are get- ting across as rapidly as could be expect- ed. Juneau is rapidly filling up with miners from Dyea and Skaguay who propose to winter there. JOHN L AND THE MAYORALTY. Says It'a n. Six to One Shot That lie "Will Hit Ronton on tho Snlnr Plexus. Boston, Mass., Aug. 23. "O, I don't know. It's a dead easy graft to win de soft up- holstery in this burg, hammers or no ham- mers, and it's a C to 1 shot dat I'm de next mayor of Boston, wld or widout gloves. See?" Having thus clearly defined his position, John L. Sullivan, Boston's leading politi cian and pugilist, smote himself on the massy bosom with the hand that had laid so many good men low. and turned his eyes somewhat moodily In tho direction of a picture that hung upon the wall. A soft, almost tender look came into the eyes of Mr. Sullivan as he gazed upon the picture. Then he spoke again In a voice that sounded like nn anchor chain slipping through R hawser two links at a time. "I'm billed as a dead rabbit at that game." with a wave of his hairy fist in the direction of tho picture, "but, say, maybe I can't hit Boston In the solar plexus in a twenty-fou- r foot ring with tho polls. See?" Before plunging deeply Into tho question of politics. Sullivan had a few remarks to make ancnt the insult offered him by Mayor Quincy at the Ten Eyck reception in Faneull hall a few days ago. "I wonder did he fink I was going to smash him In de breakaway when I htuck out me hand?" queried John. "It looked dat way, so I called de bout a draw and left widout stopping for the feast. I didn't t'lnk so much of de trow-dow- n den. Ye see, I puts out me fin to dis slab-side- d aristocrat, expecting to be treated like de odder mugs in line, but he turns up his nose and gives me de Klondike staro. Dey tell me dls Quincy's a hot candidate, but I don't hear his steampipes cracking. He's full of beans. "Say. what dls town wants is a reform administration, and John L.'s the man to shake things up. Mo enemies say I'm a better candidate for de funny house, but me roof's on straight, all right, all right." MR. LAMBERT IN OFFICE. Snccecdcd W. C.

CAMP JEWETT FORMALLY OPENED BY COMMANDER CLARKSON. Next Encampment Almost Snre to He Held In Cincinnati nnd the lhU'J Encampment in Richmond No Union of "Women's Auxiliaries. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 23. Grand Army week opened with fair weather. All indi- cations point to an attendance beyond the expectations of the most sanguine citizen. Trainloads of veterans and their friends nre constantly arriving, and a person might think there was a great parade in progress as tho posts march up the main street to their quarters. Commander-in-Chie- f Clarkson arrived this morning. As he stepped from the train he was warmly welcomed to the Queen city by Justice Truman White, of the re- ception committee, and Colonel Albert D. Shaw, state commander of the department of New York. Mr. Clarkson's train consisted of ten or twelve cars adorned with banners and flags, the most conspicuous decoration be- ing that upon tho commander's car "Comman- der-in-Chief, G. A. It," and beneath it, "Put Me Off at Buffalo." Camp Jewett, the picturesque tent city erected for the accommodation of the visit- ing veterans, en a bluff overlooking Lake Erie and the mouth of the Niagara river, was officially opened by Commander-in-Chie- f Clarkson this afternoon. The commander-in-chie- f was escorted from his headquarters by Mayor Jewctt and other citizens, and by Bidwell Wllke-so- n post, of Buffalo, and Columbia post, of Chicago, headed by the regimental band of tho Thirteenth United States infantry, which is assigned to Fort Porter during the encampment. As tho commander-in-chie- f entered the camp, a salute of fifteen guns was fired in his honor by the federal troops at the fort The general was escorted to the piaza of a park pavilion situated In the center of the camp, about which thousands of veterans and citizens formed In a hollow square. Stepping to tho front of the piazza. Mayor Jewctt, on behalf of tho citizens' committee, presented the camp to the commander-in-chie- f, who accepted it in a graceful speech. Commander-in-Chi- ef Clarkson entered the pavilion when his remarks were concluded and held an impromptu reception of officers from Fort Porter and officers of the Na- tional Guard. Later he made an inspection of the camp in company with the officers of his staff, after which he returned to his headquarters. John C. Linehan, of Concord, N. H now commissioner of insurance for that state, and former junior vice commander of the Grand Army, is the most formidable of the new candidates for commander-in-chie- f. His headquarters were opened Pennsylvania veterans are booming Colo nel Gobin. of that state, for commander-in-chie- f. Already over 500 Pennsylvania men are here, and they are all working hard for Colonel Gobln's success. Colonel Gobin ar- rived y, and has opened headquarters. A delegation of prominent Cincinnati business men arrived y to press Cin- cinnati's claims for tho national encamp- ment in ISiS. Headquarters have been opened in the Iroquois hotel. There now appears to be no doubt that Cincinnati will have the honor of entertaining the G. A. R. next year. In fact, there appears to be no opposition. The Richmond boomers arrived in town this morning and proceeded to work for the encampment of ISM. There are eighteen of Richmond's leading men in tho party. A prominent member of the delegation is Walter H. Sanary, editor and owner of the Richmond State, who said that his committee were doing good missionary work and had every reason to believe they would get the encampment in 1S93. Not a delegation approached so far but was In favor of Richmond, and several members of the committee which will have the selection of the place are pledged to Richmond. A noble enterprise which is likely to en- list the attention of the Grand Army dela-- f rates during tho session hero is the estab-Ishme- nt of a sanitarium for the benefit of veteran soldiers and sailors of the war for the Union. It is proposed to locate on the Island with Castle Pinckney, In the harbor of Charleston, S. C, a refuge for old soldiers who aro ill, and congress is asked to take advantage of an offer of the very favorablo location for the purpose. The scheme has the Indorsement of Com mander-in-Chi- Clarkson. There has been a great deal of discussion to-d- over a possible union of the Wom- an's Relict Corps and the Ladies of the G. A. R.. but it is the desire of the Grand Armv that the tenets of the Woman's Re- lief Corps prevail as to the eleglhillty clause, nnd the Ladles of the G. A. R. to not want to give up on that point, so the matter of a union seems as far away as when the two organizations took to differ- ent paths. "To cherish and emulate the deeds of our noble army nurses and of all loyal women who rendered loving service to our country in her hour of peril" is tho aim of the Woman's Relief Corps.

Sensation Promised In Connection Willi the Bryan Reception in Topekn Last "Winter. Topeka. Kas.. Aug. A sen- sation is threatened as a result of the fail- ure of tho Populists of the legislature to pay tho expenses created in order for tho Bryan reception last winter. Some of tho bills still remain unpaid, and the holders of the claims propose to hold the Repub- lican members of the committee on ar- rangements cood for them. Every effort has been made to get the Pops to pay them. Now the claim is made that enough money was raised to do so, but that some- one "swiped" it. The identity of that some-on- o Is now the question, and If tho charge is true and his name can be learned, ho will bo prosecuted for embezzlement. Ho is said to be a member of the legislature. Repre- sentative McKeevcr, of this city, who Is one of the Republicans whom the claim- ants are holding responsible for the bill, to- day wrote Representative Rothwciler, of Rush county, chairman of the committee, asking him who the members were that handled the funds. "I have made consider- able inquiry," said McKeevcr, "and I learn that a great deal more money was collected than was accounted for. Several renresentatives sav they gave $3. Tho en tire expense was but a trifle, and I have found enough who gave $3 each to make up the amount. I know there were a vast number who gave from $1 to $2 eacn. As near as I can figure It out, twice as much money was collected as was paid out, and someone came out of the deal In good shape. They ought to have settled all tho bills first, and then if they had a surplus, probably no one would object to their steal- ing it." PERRY'S LAST OFFICIAL ACT. negnn Proceedings Against thr Cred- itors of E. G. Nedean & Sons, Indian Traders! Topeka, Kas., Aug. 23. (Special.) The last act of United States District Attorney Perry to-d- before surrendering the office to Ike Lambert was to bring proceedings in the namo of the government against the creditors of E. G. Nedeau & Sons, Indian post traders on the Pottawatomie reserva- tion, to enjoin them from enforcing the collection of claims by levying o nthe prop- erty of these traders situated on tho reser- vation. Nedeau & Sons failed some time ago on account of their manager abscond- ing with about 15,000 in cash, and creditors immediately levied on their property. The interior department was appealed to to pro- tect tho traders, and a ruling was made that they were agents of the government and that their property in the reservation could not be attached for debt. On the strength of this ruling, the United States attorney y began proceedings to en- join the creditors from proceeding any further In their attachment suits in the state courts. FRANK MAPES' BOND. District Attorney Lambert "Will Pasta the Proceedings Against the Signers. Topeka, Kas., Aug. 23. (Special.) United States District Attorney Lambert will be- gin at once to acquaint himself with tho facts concerning the case of the govern- ment against tho bondsmen of the late Postmaster Frank Mapes, of Kansas City, Kas., who killed himself to avoid prosecu- tion for embezzlement. Judgment has been obtained against the bondsmen for over $9,000, the amount of the shortago, but the government has not yet realized anything on it. The bondsmen, so It develops, have transferred all of their property. The fed- eral officials believe this was done to evade the payment of the judgment, and suit hns been instituted against each one to make him show his hand. If it is proven that the property was transferred for this purpose, then tho transfers will be adjudged illegal and void, and the government will attach tho property. These cases como up at the September term of the federal court. MORE MOTOR POWER. Fifth Street Cable Line "Will Soon lie Operated Iiy Electricity Netv $iO,000 Motor.

Streets of Petrrhof Crowded nnd Gny "With Court Einiipnges Large Fleet of Pleasure Slcnmen Assembled in the Roads At the Palace. St. Petersburg, Aug. 23. From early this morning there has been a soene of great animation here and a steady flow of people toward the quays, where they embarked on profusly decorated steamers to meet President Fauro at Cronstadt. After a rainy night, splendid weather prevailed. Tho final preparations at Petcrhof were completed this morning. The magnificent park between the palace and the sea was gloriously decorated with the flags of Rus- sia and France. The latter were to bo seen flying everywhere, presenting a fine plcturo from tho sea, with the cascade fall- ing In front of the palace, combined with the beautiful marble terraces and orna- mented gilt statues. The streets of Peterhof were crowded from early morning, and were gay with court equipages, which were constantly dashing through them with richly attired personages who wero on their way to the landing stage, which was gorgeously dec- orated for the occasion. Contrary to Russian custom, the peopl were allowed to enter the park and to line tha route followed by President Faure and the other high personages. The scene was rendered most animated by the fact that among the crowds were countless men and women wearing tri- color cockades, and thousands of children waving little French and Russian flags. At 9 o'clock In the morning a semaphore message announced that tho French squad- ron was thirteen miles distant, and a Cos- sack was immediately dispatched at a gal- lop to convey the news to the czar at the Peterhof palace. Another and similar dis- patch soon followed from Cronstadt, and then the czar emerged from tho palace, en- tered a carriage drawn by two gray horsas and drove to the landing stage. His majes- ty wore the uniform of a captain in the Russian navy, with the ribbon of the Le- gion of Honor on his breast. A large fleet of pleasure steamers had by that time assembled in the road, and tho most intense enthusiasm was manifest- ed when the Grand Duke Alexis and Pres- ident Faure loft the Pothuau and proceeded to the Alexandria. The czar awaited the president at the top of the Alexandria's gangway, and the moment M. Faure set foot on the deck of tha imperial yacht warm embraces wero exchanged between the czar and the president, which were tho signal for a storm of cheering, waving of handkerchiefs and other marks of pop- ular and enthusiastic delight. The sailors manned ship at tho same time and gave the regulation cheers for the czar and his guest. His majesty, when tho exchange of salu- tations had been ended, invited the presi- dent to tho aft deck of tho Alexandria, and offered him cigars. Thereupon they both lighted cigars and engaged in a cor- dial conversation. The czar questioned the president about his voyage, asking him whether ho had enjoyed It, and the presi- dent replied that he had an excellent pass- age, with fine weather and no hitch of any kind, the only inconvenience being the fog which tho French ships encountered on the Baltic coast of Finland. "When President Faure had finished tell- ing the story of his voyage to the czar, the Alexandria arrived at the landing stage, where the high court dignitaries wero again grouped to receive the czar and his guest. President Faure was dressed in a frock coat, nnd wore tho insignia of the Grand Collar of tho Order of St. Andrew, which decoration was presented to him by the czar In June, 1S95. Out of compliment to his guest tho czar also wore the same order. "With Count Muravieff, the Russian min- ister for foreign affairs, and M. Hanotaux. the French minister for foreign affairs, standing near them, the czar and the pres- ident formed a striking group on the aft deck of the Alexandria. When the im- perially yacht was safely moored along- side the jetty, the French president was the first to land and the band of the im- perial guard struck up the "Marseillaise." Tho czar followed M. Faure ashore pnd Immediately presented his guest to the Grand Dukes Vladimir, Cyril. Boris. An- drew, Paul. Constance, Nicholas, Peter, Michael, George and Sergius. The route to the palace was lined with troops and behind the soldiers were massed enthusiastic crowds of people who were frantic in their acclamations. Upon arriving at the Peterhof palace, the czar presented President Faure to the various court officials and then, tho victoria, his majesty drove along to the Alexandria palace, the resldonco of the czarina. A few minutes later President Faure emerged from the Peterhof palace, accompanied by General Bildering, nnd drove to the Alexandria palace, in order to offer his homage to tho czarina. A private luncheon at tho Alexandria palaco fol- lowed. During the afternoon, the French president visited the Russian grand dukes. Paris, Aug. 23. Much bunting was dis- played here y in honor of the meet- ing In Russia of President Faure and the czar. Emporia, Kas.. Aug. 23. (Special.)

According to announcement made a week ago. Attorney General E. C. Crow and Su- perintendent of Insurance Ed T. Orear were in Kansas City yesterday posting up a bit In the facts beforo they open their batteries on the local insurance "com- bine." From evidence collected for them they aro well convinced that tho rates fixed for Kansas City are unduly high. They were yesterday seeking evidence to prove that the high rate was caused by a combination. With that point a certainty, they will then lire a center shot and call the companies severely to account. Yesterday they were busy getting next to some facts, and. while they had but a short time to work, they got some that caused them to smile. There were many well known business men quite willing to give up Information they had gained by experience, and facts and documents were freely given for use. Orear said that many bus- iness men had written to him complaining of excessive rates thev were forced tn n.i- - and freely offering to help get evidence of the combine. He said if the high rates were due to combination the license to do business would be revoked. He holds the exemptions of the anti-tru- st law for St. Louis and Kansas City Invalid, and thev-wer- e willing to go into court on tha't ground. If the license of a score of com- panies were revoked they would, of course, get into court at once in trying to do busi- ness without a license, or try to compel the superintendent to issue one. At any rato the merits of the affair would be forced Into court for review. Attorney General Crow said he wanted to make a very thor- ough Investigation, and if wrongs had been done tho public someone would be called to account. Last evening Attorney General Crow and Orear went to St. Joseph, as there were some facts there they wanted to study. They will be there They expect to return to Kansas Citv this even- ing and resume a study of the situation here. They are convinced of a combine here and of excessive rates. If the high rate comes from the combine, and the officials can discover evidence of it, there will he marked activity in Insurance circles of the city. ONLY $35,000 NEEDED. Mr. Clendennlng Says This "Will Be Rnlsed "Within Tiro Weeks After September 1. During the two weeks absence of Sec- retary Clendenlng, of the Commercial Club, receipts at his office for the conven- tion hall button fund were S2.709. Previous receipts were J3.213, making the total amount received by Mr. Clendenlng from the sale of convention hall buttons. S3.S23. This does not represent the total sale of buttons, as many persons have sold buttons but delay making returns pending the dis- posal of the remaining buttons on hand. This is the case with many business houses which have the buttons on sale. Probably about 7,000 buttons have been actually dis- posed of. Sing Lee. a Chinese laundryman of Leav- enworth, who was formerly a of Kansas City, bought two 'convention hall buttons Charles Miller, president of the Galena oil works. Franklin, Pa., who recently subscribed $1,000 to the convention hall fund, states that this is not n subscription made by the Standnrd Oil people or by the Galena oil works, but his personal contribution to the project, made becauso of his admiration for Kansas City and his personal friendliness toward President Stilwell and Ira C. Hubbeli. of the Pitts- burg & Gulf, who solicited his subscrip- tion. Crane & Co. yesterday subscribed $100 to the fund. The committee having in charge the convention hall project, which recently adjourned for the heated season, will hold a meeting at the Commercial Club rooms the afternoon of September 1. and at once start tho work of securing the balance of the fund. Subscriptions and returns from button sales to date amount to $115,000. Secretary Clendenlng says the" balance of the required $150,000 will be raised within two week's after September 1. The aldermen of Kansas City and West- - have arranged to play a game of fiort one day next week, the proceeds to go to the convention hall fund. HEATHS AND FUNERALS. Mrs. Ida R.

WILL COLLECT ALL DUTIES AND PAY THE NATIONAL DEDT. Blir Subsidy for Railroad Building Company May Operate Banks and Bring? In Colonists Outlet for American Capital nnd Enterprise. Washington, Aug. 23. Consul Jarnogari of Utillah, Honduras, has sent to the state department c report upon an important concession by the Honduras government granted to the Honduras syndicate. This corporation is composed, says the consul, ot well known capitalists and financiers of tho United States, mostly located In New York. The syndicate has deposited with the gov- ernment of Honduras $30,000 in gold as a guarantee that it will carry out its part of the concession. The Honduras government has notified all its collectors of customs and other officials that the increase of duty authorized in April last to take effect August 1 will not be collected, as the concession provides that there shall be no increase In the existing tariff during the next five years without the consent of the syndicate. This In- crease was equal to doubling- rates on many articles, and was almost prohibitive ort others. The syndicate "will oversee the col- lection of all duties and pay Honduras a. stipulated sum In lieu of the collections. The syndicate will liquidate the foreign (national) debt within a given time, and will open offices in Europe for this purpese. The foreign debt of Honduras amounts to several millions. "" The syndicate Is authorized to construct, and operate a railroad from Puerto Corter to the Bay of Fonseca on the Pacific coast, with such branch lines as It may desire. The Honduras government concedes to the syndicate tho railroad and all its ap- purtenances, now being operated thirty miles out from Puerto Corter. the right of way to Fonseca bay. and a subsidy of 3.200 acres of land for each mile of road built and operated by the syndicate, either as main or branch lines. Consul Jarnogan says thar this will give to the syndicate the most valuable fran- chise that could be obtained In Honduras. The syndicate, he says, has the power to build a narrow gauge transcontinental road and operate it for ninety-nin- e years, asd is not restricted as to route. It also Is given the right to organize and operate banks and conduct a general banking bus- iness, and to bring in colonists, who, how- ever, must not be negroes. The consul says this concession means much to Honduras and the United States, and describes in detail how it will open up a rich country never developed, furnishing an outlet for American enterprise and American capital. "It means." he says, "absolute control of the trade by the United States. It means the domination of Americans, not only in trade, but all else, even to national des tiny." i MISSOURI TEXTBOOKS.

Ivlnir Return.

Washington, Aug. 23. Some interestingstatements relating to the sold region inAlaska and the reindeer experiment therearc brought out in the annual statementof United States Commissioner of Educa-tion Harris submitted It describesin detail the progress of the mining, thegrowth of Circle City, Dawson and theKlondike district, tho two principal routes,via St. Michael's and via Chilcoot pass.

Touching on the importance of extendingthe Introduction of reindeer into that ter-ritory, the report says the reindeer stationsought to be ablo to furnish 500 reindeertrained to the harness at once for the usoof tho miners on the upper Yukon river.

"It was my purpose." tho commissionergoes on, "to detail three of tho skilledherdsmen and thirty trained reindeer tothe Yukon region the present summer."

If this arrangement is carried out as In-

structed, an important experiment will bein progress during the coming year at thegold mines. The plan of the bureau hasbeen to arrange a reindeer express con-necting towns in a line from Beringstraits to Kadlak Island. Superintendentof Reindeer Stations Kjollmannl last Sep-tember proved the practicability of thisby making a trial trip on this route. Twoof his party were able to take the steamerat Katmal, sailing to Sitka in March. Thisarrangement once completed, it will beposslblo for business companies in SanFrancisco and other cities to hold com-munication with their whaling fleets dur-ing the winter north of the Arctic circle.

There have been maintained in Alaskatwenty day schools under the supervisionof the interior department, with twenty-thre- e

teachers nnd an enrollment of 1,267pupils. A public school was opened atCircle City, in tho Yukon mining district,but the department's agent, writing fromSt. Michael's, says he is afraid he willbe forced to discontinue it because of theexodus of the city's population Into theregion nearer tho recently discoveredmines.

The Influx of miners into the Yukon hascaused a demand for reindeer for freight-ing purposes. In the original plan for thepurchase and distribution of reindeer, ref-erence was had to securing a new foodsupply for the famishing Eskimos ofthe Bering sea and the Arctic ocean re-gion, but it is now found that reindeer areas essential to the white men as the Eski-mos. The wonderful Yukon placermines are situated twenty-fiv- e to one hun-dred miles from the greater stream. Pro-visions brought from the south and landedon the banks of the river are with greatdifficulty transported to tho mines on thetributary streams.

Last winter mongrel dogs for transpor-tation purposes cost from $100 to $200 eachnnd freight charges from the river to themountains range from 15 to 0 cents perpound. The trained reindeer make in aday two or three times the distance coveredby dog teams and have the advantage thatthey can use tho abundant moss as food.

ionaire. He became a gold king In fifteenmonths. Ho went "West with money heearned sawing wood.

He was backed by two strong arms, abrave heart and a constitution as tough asa knot. He ran a race with death overglaciers, crags and passes, through ragingrivers, canons and rapids. Into frozen lakes,killing storms, murderous Insects and pests,past starvation, along yawning chasms andunder avalanches.

Phlscator says the pay Is not worth therisk. He declares there is only one kindof man that can get to the creeks onetrained In the hardships of the wilderness,hardened by years of hard lights with act-ual frontier life and one versed in all theaccomplishments which aro acquired in acountry where the best man is he who getshW pistol out first. A courso of thirteenyears in such a school put him into fairlygood condition, but the year's jaunt intothe Arctic circle pulled sixty pounds offlesh from his bones. The man who getsthrough it comes out only by accident therule being that his bones aro left in theIi-- ami snow.

Phlscator looks tho sort of a man hewould build for this journey. Ho is short.stocky, weighs 230 pounds. He has a sharp,clear eye an eyo of a man that wouldshoot rather than bo shot. His upper lipcurls up in an expression of recklessness.His hair is jet black. His neck Is short.Ho walks "with a swagger, shakes handswith a hard tug, takes his bracers straight,wears the big, white hat of the "West."When he talks he looks squarely at one,and his talk has the ring of rough honesty.There is nothing on earth that wouldfrighten him. He was not afraid to plungeInto upper Laska alone and single handed.This Is what ho says: "I tell you It wasnever Intended that any human beingshould live in the Klondike country, and agreat many of the poor fellows who haveFtartod will never have a chance of tryingIt. They will dlo along the roid."

Speaking of his journey to the Klondike,he says:

"We met some prospectors as we gotnear Lake Bennett. They were out offood and were living off the meat thevhad made of their dogs. We did not haveany more than we would need, but whatcan you do when men rome to you withthe plea that they are starving" Flour inthat country was worth 5S0 for fiftypounds, hut it had no prico with mo whenI saw tho poor wretches who were thinneddown to skeletons. They were going back.1 never heard whether they got out ornot.

"Lnke Bennett was where we built ourboat. The Indians brousht down tho log",while I sawed them into boards and thenbuilt our ship. A man named Van Wagnerjoined us here and went through the game.He was a lawyer in Seittle. but ho wasmade of the right stuff Our ship wasabout thirty feet long and six feet wide,and It was put together to stay. It wasn'tvery pretty to look at. but I guess it wouldhave held its own against anything thisbide of a glacier.

"It was beginning to break up in thespring and it was much easier sailing thanIt had been sledding. This lake Is aboutthirty miles long. We got over It In threedays, without arcident. It was, however,only the calm beforo the storm, since whenwe drifted into Lake Tagus all the furieson earth and under it were let loose. Itblew so hard I really thought the earthwould be blown to pieces. The snow fellalmost a foot at a time, coming down ingicat Fhects nnd emptying Itself into thofcoat. We only went three miles in two

davs, and were glad of that. Tho snow cov-ered up the holes in the ice, and time andagain wo sank Into the too water up to ournecks. It was part sledding and p.trt tail-ing, and every minute liable to be tho Iat.

"The Tagus Indians have a post at thebottom of this lake, and we stopped a d.iywith them, rating large quantity of frozencariboo, which was sickening in its filth butnourishing after one got it down. Itseemed as If we were rating twice as muchas we did at home. I tell you I pity themen who have started to the Klondike thisyear, when I read the supplies they havetaken. Thcv will run short before they gethalf-wa- v. There is no hope for them. It Islikely those who go next spring will findrows of whlto boards on both sides of thetrail. They aro gone."

In the Klondike is enormous. Near-ly every skyscraper in the downtown dis-

dike company. Their aspirations are ashigh as the building, and such a thing asfailure docs not enter Into consideration.

Even George Gould has become interest-ed in a mining company which, beginningIn British Columbia, reached out to Alas-ka. His name appears with those of Rich-ard I LonMerry, Dr. H. Seward W ebb.andD.

a party will bo sent out from the geologicalsurvey to make another Investigation ofgold resources in Alaska. An appropria-tion of JJ5.000 was asked from congress lastyear, but the amount was cut down to$3,000. This was not available in time tosend a party last season, but it will bo usedin dispatching probably three survey ex-perts, headed by Professor Shurr, alreadya recognized authority on Alaska, and aneffort will be made to have congress raisetho appropriation to about the same askedfor last year.

JOHN L AND THE MAYORALTY.

Says It'a n. Six to One Shot That lie"Will Hit Ronton on tho

Snlnr Plexus.Boston, Mass., Aug. 23. "O, I don't know.

It's a dead easy graft to win de soft up-holstery in this burg, hammers or no ham-mers, and it's a C to 1 shot dat I'm denext mayor of Boston, wld or widoutgloves. See?"

Having thus clearly defined his position,John L. Sullivan, Boston's leading politician and pugilist, smote himself on themassy bosom with the hand that had laidso many good men low. and turned hiseyes somewhat moodily In tho direction ofa picture that hung upon the wall.

A soft, almost tender look came into theeyes of Mr. Sullivan as he gazed upon thepicture. Then he spoke again In a voicethat sounded like nn anchor chain slippingthrough R hawser two links at a time.

"I'm billed as a dead rabbit at thatgame." with a wave of his hairy fist inthe direction of tho picture, "but, say,maybe I can't hit Boston In the solarplexus in a twenty-fou- r foot ring with thopolls. See?"

Before plunging deeply Into tho questionof politics. Sullivan had a few remarks tomake ancnt the insult offered him byMayor Quincy at the Ten Eyck receptionin Faneull hall a few days ago.

"I wonder did he fink I was going tosmash him In de breakaway when I htuckout me hand?" queried John. "It lookeddat way, so I called de bout a draw andleft widout stopping for the feast. I didn'tt'lnk so much of de trow-dow- n den. Yesee, I puts out me fin to dis slab-side- d

aristocrat, expecting to be treated like deodder mugs in line, but he turns up hisnose and gives me de Klondike staro. Deytell me dls Quincy's a hot candidate, butI don't hear his steampipes cracking. He'sfull of beans.

"Say. what dls town wants is a reformadministration, and John L.'s the man toshake things up. Mo enemies say I'm abetter candidate for de funny house, butme roof's on straight, all right, all right."

tional Guard. Later he made an inspectionof the camp in company with the officersof his staff, after which he returned to hisheadquarters.

John C. Linehan, of Concord, N. H nowcommissioner of insurance for that state,and former junior vice commander of theGrand Army, is the most formidable of thenew candidates for commander-in-chie- f.

His headquarters were openedPennsylvania veterans are booming Colo

nel Gobin. of that state, for commander-in-chie- f.

Already over 500 Pennsylvania menare here, and they are all working hard forColonel Gobln's success. Colonel Gobin ar-

rived y, and has opened headquarters.A delegation of prominent Cincinnati

business men arrived y to press Cin-

cinnati's claims for tho national encamp-ment in ISiS. Headquarters have beenopened in the Iroquois hotel. There nowappears to be no doubt that Cincinnati willhave the honor of entertaining the G. A. R.next year. In fact, there appears to be noopposition.

The Richmond boomers arrived in townthis morning and proceeded to work forthe encampment of ISM. There are eighteenof Richmond's leading men in tho party. Aprominent member of the delegation isWalter H. Sanary, editor and owner of theRichmond State, who said that hiscommittee were doing good missionarywork and had every reason to believe theywould get the encampment in 1S93. Not adelegation approached so far but was Infavor of Richmond, and several members ofthe committee which will have the selectionof the place are pledged to Richmond.

A noble enterprise which is likely to en-

list the attention of the Grand Army dela-- frates during tho session hero is the estab-Ishme- nt

of a sanitarium for the benefit ofveteran soldiers and sailors of the warfor the Union. It is proposed to locate onthe Island with Castle Pinckney, In theharbor of Charleston, S. C, a refuge forold soldiers who aro ill, and congress isasked to take advantage of an offer of thevery favorablo location for the purpose.The scheme has the Indorsement of Commander-in-Chi- Clarkson.

There has been a great deal of discussionto-d- over a possible union of the Wom-an's Relict Corps and the Ladies of theG. A. R.. but it is the desire of the GrandArmv that the tenets of the Woman's Re-lief Corps prevail as to the eleglhilltyclause, nnd the Ladles of the G. A. R. tonot want to give up on that point, so thematter of a union seems as far away aswhen the two organizations took to differ-ent paths.

"To cherish and emulate the deeds ofour noble army nurses and of all loyalwomen who rendered loving service to ourcountry in her hour of peril" is tho aimof the Woman's Relief Corps.

WHO G0TJHE MONEY?

Sensation Promised In ConnectionWilli the Bryan Reception in

Topekn Last "Winter.Topeka. Kas.. Aug. A sen-

sation is threatened as a result of the fail-

ure of tho Populists of the legislature topay tho expenses created in order for thoBryan reception last winter. Some of thobills still remain unpaid, and the holdersof the claims propose to hold the Repub-

lican members of the committee on ar-rangements cood for them. Every efforthas been made to get the Pops to paythem. Now the claim is made that enoughmoney was raised to do so, but that some-one "swiped" it. The identity of that some-on- o

Is now the question, and If tho chargeis true and his name can be learned, ho willbo prosecuted for embezzlement. Ho is saidto be a member of the legislature. Repre-sentative McKeevcr, of this city, who Isone of the Republicans whom the claim-ants are holding responsible for the bill, to-

day wrote Representative Rothwciler, ofRush county, chairman of the committee,asking him who the members were thathandled the funds. "I have made consider-able inquiry," said McKeevcr, "andI learn that a great deal more money wascollected than was accounted for. Severalrenresentatives sav they gave $3. Tho entire expense was but a trifle, and I havefound enough who gave $3 each to make upthe amount. I know there were a vastnumber who gave from $1 to $2 eacn. Asnear as I can figure It out, twice as muchmoney was collected as was paid out, andsomeone came out of the deal In goodshape. They ought to have settled all thobills first, and then if they had a surplus,probably no one would object to their steal-ing it."

PERRY'S LAST OFFICIAL ACT.

last act of United States District AttorneyPerry to-d- before surrendering the officeto Ike Lambert was to bring proceedings inthe namo of the government against thecreditors of E. G. Nedeau & Sons, Indianpost traders on the Pottawatomie reserva-tion, to enjoin them from enforcing thecollection of claims by levying o nthe prop-erty of these traders situated on tho reser-vation. Nedeau & Sons failed some timeago on account of their manager abscond-ing with about 15,000 in cash, and creditorsimmediately levied on their property. Theinterior department was appealed to to pro-tect tho traders, and a ruling was madethat they were agents of the governmentand that their property in the reservationcould not be attached for debt. On thestrength of this ruling, the United Statesattorney y began proceedings to en-join the creditors from proceeding anyfurther In their attachment suits in thestate courts.

States District Attorney Lambert will be-gin at once to acquaint himself with thofacts concerning the case of the govern-ment against tho bondsmen of the latePostmaster Frank Mapes, of Kansas City,Kas., who killed himself to avoid prosecu-tion for embezzlement.

If it is proven that theproperty was transferred for this purpose,then tho transfers will be adjudged illegaland void, and the government will attachtho property. These cases como up at theSeptember term of the federal court.

Streets of Petrrhof Crowded nnd Gny"With Court Einiipnges Large

Fleet of Pleasure SlcnmenAssembled in the Roads

At the Palace.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 23. From early thismorning there has been a soene of greatanimation here and a steady flow of peopletoward the quays, where they embarkedon profusly decorated steamers to meetPresident Fauro at Cronstadt. After arainy night, splendid weather prevailed.Tho final preparations at Petcrhof werecompleted this morning. The magnificentpark between the palace and the sea wasgloriously decorated with the flags of Rus-sia and France. The latter were to boseen flying everywhere, presenting a fineplcturo from tho sea, with the cascade fall-

ing In front of the palace, combined withthe beautiful marble terraces and orna-

mented gilt statues.The streets of Peterhof were crowded

from early morning, and were gay withcourt equipages, which were constantlydashing through them with richly attiredpersonages who wero on their way to thelanding stage, which was gorgeously dec-

orated for the occasion.Contrary to Russian custom, the peopl

were allowed to enter the park and to linetha route followed by President Faure andthe other high personages.

The scene was rendered most animatedby the fact that among the crowds werecountless men and women wearing tri-

color cockades, and thousands of childrenwaving little French and Russian flags.

At 9 o'clock In the morning a semaphoremessage announced that tho French squad-ron was thirteen miles distant, and a Cos-

sack was immediately dispatched at a gal-

lop to convey the news to the czar at thePeterhof palace. Another and similar dis-

patch soon followed from Cronstadt, andthen the czar emerged from tho palace, en-

tered a carriage drawn by two gray horsasand drove to the landing stage. His majes-ty wore the uniform of a captain in theRussian navy, with the ribbon of the Le-

gion of Honor on his breast.A large fleet of pleasure steamers had

by that time assembled in the road, andtho most intense enthusiasm was manifest-ed when the Grand Duke Alexis and Pres-ident Faure loft the Pothuau and proceededto the Alexandria. The czar awaited thepresident at the top of the Alexandria'sgangway, and the moment M. Faure setfoot on the deck of tha imperial yachtwarm embraces wero exchanged betweenthe czar and the president, which weretho signal for a storm of cheering, wavingof handkerchiefs and other marks of pop-

ular and enthusiastic delight. The sailorsmanned ship at tho same time and gavethe regulation cheers for the czar and hisguest.

His majesty, when tho exchange of salu-tations had been ended, invited the presi-dent to tho aft deck of tho Alexandria,and offered him cigars. Thereupon theyboth lighted cigars and engaged in a cor-dial conversation. The czar questioned thepresident about his voyage, asking himwhether ho had enjoyed It, and the presi-dent replied that he had an excellent pass-age, with fine weather and no hitch of anykind, the only inconvenience being the fogwhich tho French ships encountered on theBaltic coast of Finland.

"When President Faure had finished tell-ing the story of his voyage to the czar,the Alexandria arrived at the landingstage, where the high court dignitarieswero again grouped to receive the czar andhis guest. President Faure was dressed ina frock coat, nnd wore tho insignia of theGrand Collar of tho Order of St. Andrew,which decoration was presented to him bythe czar In June, 1S95. Out of complimentto his guest tho czar also wore the sameorder.

"With Count Muravieff, the Russian min-

ister for foreign affairs, and M. Hanotaux.the French minister for foreign affairs,standing near them, the czar and the pres-ident formed a striking group on the aftdeck of the Alexandria. When the im-perially yacht was safely moored along-side the jetty, the French president wasthe first to land and the band of the im-

perial guard struck up the "Marseillaise."Tho czar followed M. Faure ashore pndImmediately presented his guest to theGrand Dukes Vladimir, Cyril. Boris. An-drew, Paul. Constance, Nicholas, Peter,Michael, George and Sergius.

The route to the palace was lined withtroops and behind the soldiers were massedenthusiastic crowds of people who werefrantic in their acclamations.

Upon arriving at the Peterhof palace,the czar presented President Faure to thevarious court officials and then,tho victoria, his majesty drove along tothe Alexandria palace, the resldonco of theczarina. A few minutes later PresidentFaure emerged from the Peterhof palace,accompanied by General Bildering, nnddrove to the Alexandria palace, in order tooffer his homage to tho czarina. A privateluncheon at tho Alexandria palaco fol-

lowed. During the afternoon, the Frenchpresident visited the Russian grand dukes.

Attorney General und Superintendentof Insurance Arc After the In-

surance Companies.According to announcement made a week

ago. Attorney General E. C. Crow and Su-

perintendent of Insurance Ed T. Orearwere in Kansas City yesterday posting upa bit In the facts beforo they open theirbatteries on the local insurance "com-bine." From evidence collected for themthey aro well convinced that tho ratesfixed for Kansas City are unduly high.They were yesterday seeking evidence toprove that the high rate was caused by acombination. With that point a certainty,they will then lire a center shot and callthe companies severely to account.

Yesterday they were busy getting nextto some facts, and. while they had but ashort time to work, they got some thatcaused them to smile. There were manywell known business men quite willing togive up Information they had gained byexperience, and facts and documents werefreely given for use.

Orear said that many bus-iness men had written to him complainingof excessive rates thev were forced tn n.i- -

and freely offering to help get evidence ofthe combine. He said if the high rateswere due to combination the license to dobusiness would be revoked. He holds theexemptions of the anti-tru- st law for St.Louis and Kansas City Invalid, and thev-wer- e

willing to go into court on tha'tground. If the license of a score of com-panies were revoked they would, of course,get into court at once in trying to do busi-ness without a license, or try to compel thesuperintendent to issue one. At any ratothe merits of the affair would be forcedInto court for review. Attorney GeneralCrow said he wanted to make a very thor-ough Investigation, and if wrongs had beendone tho public someone would be called toaccount.

Last evening Attorney General Crow andOrear went to St. Joseph, as

there were some facts there they wantedto study. They will be there Theyexpect to return to Kansas Citv this even-ing and resume a study of the situationhere.

They are convinced of a combine hereand of excessive rates. If the high ratecomes from the combine, and the officialscan discover evidence of it, there will hemarked activity in Insurance circles of thecity.

A REMARKABLE CONCESSION.

WILL COLLECT ALL DUTIES AND

PAY THE NATIONAL DEDT.

Blir Subsidy for Railroad BuildingCompany May Operate Banks and

Bring? In Colonists Outletfor American Capital

nnd Enterprise.

Washington, Aug. 23. Consul Jarnogariof Utillah, Honduras, has sent to the statedepartment c report upon an importantconcession by the Honduras governmentgranted to the Honduras syndicate. Thiscorporation is composed, says the consul, otwell known capitalists and financiers of thoUnited States, mostly located In New York.The syndicate has deposited with the gov-

ernment of Honduras $30,000 in gold as aguarantee that it will carry out its partof the concession.

The Honduras government has notified allits collectors of customs and other officialsthat the increase of duty authorized inApril last to take effect August 1 will not becollected, as the concession provides thatthere shall be no increase In the existingtariff during the next five years withoutthe consent of the syndicate. This In-

crease was equal to doubling- rates on manyarticles, and was almost prohibitive ortothers. The syndicate "will oversee the col-lection of all duties and pay Honduras a.stipulated sum In lieu of the collections.The syndicate will liquidate the foreign(national) debt within a given time, andwill open offices in Europe for this purpese.The foreign debt of Honduras amounts toseveral millions. ""

The syndicate Is authorized to construct,and operate a railroad from Puerto Corterto the Bay of Fonseca on the Pacific coast,with such branch lines as It may desire.

The Honduras government concedes tothe syndicate tho railroad and all its ap-purtenances, now being operated thirtymiles out from Puerto Corter. the rightof way to Fonseca bay. and a subsidy of3.200 acres of land for each mile of roadbuilt and operated by the syndicate, eitheras main or branch lines.

Consul Jarnogan says thar this will giveto the syndicate the most valuable fran-chise that could be obtained In Honduras.The syndicate, he says, has the power tobuild a narrow gauge transcontinental roadand operate it for ninety-nin- e years, asdis not restricted as to route. It also Isgiven the right to organize and operatebanks and conduct a general banking bus-iness, and to bring in colonists, who, how-ever, must not be negroes.

The consul says this concession meansmuch to Honduras and the United States,and describes in detail how it will open upa rich country never developed, furnishingan outlet for American enterprise andAmerican capital.

"It means." he says, "absolute control ofthe trade by the United States. It meansthe domination of Americans, not only intrade, but all else, even to national destiny." i
