ROYALTY TO BE PLACED ON GOLDVANCOUVER (B. C), July 26.?1t is

reported here that the Dominion Gov-ernment has decided to place a royalty

on all gold mined in Canadian territory

in the Yukon district. Officers willleave here immediately to enforce thisdecision. It probable that the Ca-nadian Government will build a tele-graph line from Lynn Canal to theClondyke. and a system of reserving

of alteration sections will be adopted.SOME SENSIBLE ADVICE.

CHAMPAIGN (Ills), July 26.?5. M.Phelps of this city, who is one of a partycontemplating going to the gold fields

ofAlaska, has just received a letter fromhis cousin, Alfred P. Swineford of Mar-quette, Mich., regarding the 'country.

Mr. Swineford, who was Governor ofAlaska during the last Cleveland Ad-ministration, says he has no doubt about

the abundance of gold, but added:"Unless you are prepared to take your

life in your hands, encounter such hard-ships and such perilous undertakings

as are hard even to picture to the imagi-nation in getting there after you havereached Alaska; unless you are pre-pared for the extreme winter's cold andsummer's heat, and to endure black fliesand mosquitoes that render life almostundesirable, don't go.

"At all events, don't venture on it thisseason. The Clondyke is 1,000 miles be-yond Juneau, and, starting now. even ifin the rush you succeed in getting as fat-as Juneau, you cannot possibly get be-yond to your destiation in time to doany prospecting before next spring, andit is exceedingly doubtful if you will beable to find employment during the win-ter, for the reason that there will be somany ahead of you.

"Ifyour friends are determined to go,they should go prepared to buy a claimalready staked out, or should go with aview of prospecting new ground else-where than on the Clondyke, where allthe available ground has already beenstaked. The Clondyke is only a starter,and those discoveries willbe repeated onmany other streams, or I am much

mistaken in my views of that country

and the natural conditions which pre-vail.

"Great fortunes will be made, butmany disappointments and sufferingsand death will be the fate ofyet a largernumber. What do you know aboutplacer mining, or where to look for un-discovered gold, and what do yourfriends know? You should weigh allthese considerations carefully beforemaking up your mind to go.

"In my opinion, your friends will bemuch wiser to put the money it will costthem to reach the interior wilds ofAlaska into the development of one ofthe many rich gold bearing quartzledges to be found immediately on thecoast, and concerning which reliable in-formation is more easily to be obtained."WILL NOT ENFORCE THE ALIEN

LAW.OTTAWA (Ont.), July 26.?The Cabi-

net to-day decided not to attempt to en-force the alien law in the Clondyke dis-trict. The subject of royalty on thegold output was discussed, but was leftover until to-morrow's session. Eightyadditional mounted police will be senton, however, to maintain law and order,and the United States attorneys atWashington will be asked to give theright of way through disputed terri-tory. Two customs officers will be sentto Lake Tagish. on the British frontier,to collect customs dutves.

NEW TARIFF LAWNOW IN FORCE.

The Act Went Into Effect at Mid-night on July 23d.

Telegram Sent Out From Treasury Depart-ment to That Effect.

The Amount of Duties Involved by

the Ruling Estimated at Be-

tween One and Two Hundred

Thousand Dollars, While tbe

Internal Revenue Department

Will Save Even a Greater

Amount.

WASHINGTON, July 20.?The Secre-tary of the Treasury holds that the newtarff Act was in effect at the beginning

ot the day on which it received the ap-

proval of the President, and thereforebecame operative after midnight of Fri-day, July 23d. Assistant Secretary

Howell to-day sent the following tele-

train to Collectors of Customs:

?To Collectors and other officers of the

Customs Department: The Presidenthaving approved the tariffAct recently

passed by Congress, the tariff Act ofAugust 28, 1894. so far as it has beenSuperseded by the new Act, became voidand of no effect at midnight on July 23,

TX»7. (See synopsis 15,381 and 10,480.)

All merchandise entered at the custom

house on and after July 24th under therates of the Act as mentioned will besubject to liquidation under the provis-

ions of the new Act. AH existing regu-

lationsrelatingto the importing of mer-chandise and the proceedings thereto-will continue in force and effect unless

\u2666duly modified or revoked."W. B. POWELL,

"Assistant Secretary."Later in the day a formal circular of

Instructions covering more fully thedepartment's views on the subject wasprinted and mailed to all customs col-lectors

The opinion of the Attorney-Generallias not been requested on the matter,the Department holding that the ques-

tion is of sufficient importance to justify

them in taking it to the courts for finaldecision, independent of the views the

law officers of the Government might

have as to the merits of the case.Senator Allison was at the Treasury

Department to-day and in course of

conversation on the subject said thatin his opinion there was no reasonabledoubt that the Act covered all of theday on which it became a law.

This also is the view of all the prom-inent officials of the Treasury Depart-

ment, including the Collectors of Cus-toms at New York and several of theleading ports of the country.

Sufficient data upon which to base aclose estimate of the amount of dutiesinvolved have not been received, but itis stated roughly that it probably willbe between $100,000 and $200,000.

The Internal Revenue Department willnave even a greater amount by the newruling than the customs branch of theService. During the five days fromTuesday, July 20th, to and including

Saturday. July 24th, the internal rev-enue stamp agencies sold approximately

$5,181,800 in beer stamps alone, and ofthis amount it is estimated that notmore than one-third, or $1,727,200,reached their destination before the Actwent into effect.

The saving to the Government onthese sales of beer stamps alone is ex-jneted to aggregate not less than $183,---090.

Commissioner Forman to-day tele-graphed all stamp agents to settle onthe basis of the increased rate of 7Vacents per barrel, and it is expected thatthese instruction w ill apply to all caseswhere the stamps are not actually af-Sxed to the packages before the newTate became operative.

No figures as to the amount of cig-

arette stamps disposed of have yet beenreceived, but it is believed the saleshave been abnormally large, as therate of tax on cigarettes, speaking gen-erally, was increased 100 per cent., orfrom 50 cents per 1,000 to $1. The in-ducements to tobacco manufacturersto lay in a large supply were even?greater than in the case of the brew-

CTRRANT PROVISION ALL RIGHT.WASHINGTON, July 26.?The state-

ment from San Francisco that by anerror currants figure in the tariffbill inawo separate paragraphs and at two?separate rates, is erroneous and arisesfrom the fact that the Californians evi-dently were ignorant of the fact thatthe Conference Committee fixed thediscrepancy by striking currants fromthe first paragraph, imposing a rateof duty per bushel, and allowed thepound rate to stand.

PROTEST FROM IMPORTERS.NEW YORK, July 20.?When Collect-

or of Customs Bidwell made formal an-nouncement to-day that the dutes in theDingley rates would be collected ongoods entered on Saturday, many pro-tests were at once filed by importers ofgoods entering on that day. Thesego.nls arrived by the Normania, fromHamburg; the Paris, from Southampton,and the Umbria, from Liverpool. The

duties under the tariffon the goods onthree vessels amounted to about $900,---000. Under the Wilson tariffthe dutieswould have amounted to about $000,000.Accordingly the loss to importers ap-

peared to be about $300,000.SEVERAL INCONSISTENCIES.

WASHINGTON, July 20.?The Treas-ury officials already have discovereda number of inconsistencies in the newtariff Act, some of them, it is feared,being incapable of reconciliation. It ispointed out that section 202 places theduty on plums at 25 cents per busheland section 04 fixes the rate at 2 centsper pound. An error in the paragraphsas to currants was corrected in con-ference.

Another section fixes the' rate of dutyon hides of cattle at 15 cents a pound,and admits raw skins free. The ques-tion involved is the classification of calfskins, it being contended that commer-cially calf skins are not classed ashides of cattle, and hence are entitledto free entry, which is liable to becontrary to the purpose of Congress.

Attention is also called to the factthat the provision as to linens and forcustoms brokers was, by inadvertence,it is believed, left out of the Act. Cir-culars are in preparation construing anumber of the sections of the Act.Persons entering this country are per-mitted under certain restrictions tobring with them duty free "usual andreasonable furniture." This is interp-reted to mean such furniture as wouldbe reasonable and useful for the per-sonal use of persons In their conditionin life.

PROSPERITY WILL COME NOW.NEW YORK, July 20.?Secretary of

?State John Sherman, who is enjoying avacation at Amanganset Bay, consentedto an interview.

The Senator was asked if he hadheard that President McKinley hadsigned the tariff bill.

"Yes, I read it in the papers," hesaid. "Of course I was looking for it."

"And will we now have prosperity?""We have not rid ourselves of the ill

effects of the Wilson tariff bill. I thinkthat business is picking up, and willcontinue to improve.

"We must not expect too much tooquickly. It may take a little time beforetrade will fullyfeel the stimulating ef-fect of the new protective tariff, butit will not be long."

"There has been much complaint atthe failure to fulfill the campaignpromises of prosperity," it was sug-gested.

"Yes," answered Mr. Sherman, "butyou will always find a lot of malcon-tent?, who act without reasoni. Theyaccuse the administration of not keep-ing its promises, without giving theadministration a chance to do so. Howcould President McKinley do more thanhe has done l>efore he got the maehin-

\u25a0ery in order?""In the foreign press, particularly in

jthe German newspapers," it was sug-gested, "the new tariff schedules arejbeing very bitterly commented upon,and there are threats of retaliatory

measures.""Well," said Mr. Sherman, "that is

nothing, or, rather, that is only to beexpected. As we put into effect a tariffwhich imposes a duty on foreign madegoods, it is quite naturallly objection-able to foreigners, and that their news-papers should think of retaliation is notat all surprising. It has always fol-lowed the making of a new tariff."

"Did you read the President's cur-rency message and of the failure of theSenate to act?""Idid, and I must say that I am not

surprised that it failed to secure action.

I was quite positive that after the tar-iff bill was signed Congress would ad-journ without touching either the cur-rency question or the annexationtreaty."

COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY.

Robert T. Tracewell of IndianaWill Receive the Appointment.

WASHINGTON, July 20. ?The Presi-dent has decided to appoint Hon. Rob-ert T. Tracewell of Indiana for the po-

sition of Comptroller of the Treasury.

President McKinley, realizing the im-portant questions coming up for decis-ion by the Comptroller's office, and af-

ter giving the matter of selection of anappointee consideration, finally con-cluded to give the place to Mr. Trace-well.

The appointment, it is said at theWhite House, is entirely one of merit,

Mr. Tracewell being selected because ofhis fine legal attainments. The posi-tion has been vacant since the retlre-me-nt of Comptroller Bowler on the Istinst. Mr. Tracewell is a native of Vir-ginia, but in early life moved with hisparents to Indiana, where he has since

resided. He was a Representative in

the fifty-fourth Congress from the

Third District of his State, and is 54years of age.

The recent appointment of Hon T. V.Powderly as Commissioner of Immigra-

tion was signed by the President to-day. Mr. Powderly's nomination tothat office failed of confirmation in theSenate because of opposition on thepart of labor organizations.

JOSEPH BACHELDER ESTATE.

Two Widows Striving to Get Pos-session of the Property.

SANTA ROSA. July 20.?Two widowsappeared in Judge Burnett's court thisafternoon, each striving for the estateof Joseph Bachelder, a Guerneville cap-italist.

Bachelder came from Wisconsin manyyears ago and settled in Guerneville,where he soon after married a womanwho became known as Mrs. LouisaBachelder. They had a number ofchildren. After Bachelder's death Mrs.Louisa Bachelder applied for lettersof administration, but when she cameinto court she was confronted by Mrs.Susan Bachelder, who claimed to be aWisconsin wife of Bachelder. Sheclaimed that no divorce had ever beenapplied for. The Wisconsin wife se-cured the first victory, the court grant-ing letters of administration to her.

Now the Guerneville widow is at-tempting to secure a portion o ftheestate on account of having served ashousekeeper for Bachelder for manyyears. Much property is involved, anda formidable array of" legal talent hasbeen employed on each side.

BRITONS REJOICE.

Elated Over the Defeat of the Em-peror in the Prussian Diet.

LONDON, July 28.?The Englishnewspapers devote a good deal of spaceto the situation in Germany, and re-cord with thinly disguised satisfactionthe defeat of the Emperor in the Prus-sian Diet over the law of associationsbill.

The "Globe" says: "The struggle inwhich Emperor William has just beendefeated is a conflict between himselfand his people. It is to be wished,rather than confidently anticipated,

that he may have the wisdom to ac-cept his discomfiture with dignity andgood temper."

The "Pall Mall Gazette" says: "Thevote is a significant rebuff. But Fred-erick the Great always had his way,

and William the Greatest must notlag behind. The little facts that thereis no Frederick the Great now, thatuniversal suffrage exists in Germany

and Prussia, and that people will takenowadays, don't count."

The Westminster "Gazette" says:

"The Kaiser has had a very nastycheck in his own country. It is astrong protest against the attempt toplace power in the hands of officialdomat the expense of civil liberty."

The "St. James Gazette" says: "TheGermans will stand a gi>od deal ofdragooning, but there are limits. Theywon't be treated like Russians andTurks."

DEATH OF ALICE BARRETT.

Her Employer Believes the YoungLady Was Murdered.

BOSTON, July 26.?1t seems thatevery hour brings forth new develop-

ments concerning the death of AliceBarrett last Saturday afternoon. Shewas found dead in the office of Codman& Codman, in which she had been em-ployed as a bookkeper. The building

had been set on fire by lightning, andit was at first supposed the bolt hadkilled her, but afterwards it was dis-covered that she had been shot through

the heart. A revolver was found onthe floor. Her family are almost posi-tive that the girl was murdered.

It was ascertained to-da5r that thecash book which Miss Barrett had kept

for two years, and in which she hadentered all the cash transactions, hadbeen burned. The police, who havebeen hard at work since the case as-sumed such a serious phase, are almostsatisfied that Miss Barrett burned thebooks before her death.

With the disappearance of the cashbook, the firm finds itself in a mostpeculiar position. William C. Codmanadmitted to the police that it was asurprise to learn that his confidentialclerk and bookkeeper had destroyed thecash book. He also admitted that thedestruction of the book would hidemany irregularities that may have ex-isted so effectually that it would bealmost impossible to discover them.

The absence of the cash book wasrot discovered until this morning,when the safe was opened for the firsttime since one of the firemen hastilyclosed it at the time of the fire. Thesafe was found open at that time, andto prevent its contents from being de-stroyed, it was promptly shut

Mr. Codman came from Nantucketthis morning, and search was malefor the missing book. Among the de-bris of the fire that had been throw vin the back yard was found abouttwenty pages of the book. The hand-writing on the sheets was that of MissBarrett.

Mr. Codman says that it is his per-sonal conviction that Miss Barrett didnot commit suicide, but was murder d,perhaps by some one who followed herinto the office on Saturday. He doesnot believe that Miss Barrett embezzleda cent of the firm's money.

NEW YORK, July 26.?Twenty-threehundred trarment workers went on astrike to-day. One hundred and twenty-five shops in this city and Brooklyn areaffected.
