Companies Washington Feb 21Secretary AI ger has transmitted to congress a complete report on the relief work of the war department in the Klondike country undertaken under act of con gress as a result of reports that extreme distress among the miners followed the Influx to the gold country during 180708 It embraces the de tailed reports of Capt F II Hay and Lieut W P Richardson Aside from details of the relief work Capt Rays last report dated May last contains the following interesting statement CA1 T RAYS STATEMENT I deem it of the greatest impor tance for the development of the coun try that roads should bo opened so as to enable the people to enter the coun try not only from the Yukon to the open sea in our own country which is of the greatest importance but to enable miners and prospectors to get Into the Interior with their supplies Under existing conditions persons can enter the country only by the one great highway the Yukon riverandt- hey can not hope to be landed at any point in Alaska earlier than July 1 The goldbearing districts are from GO to 150 miles bock from the main stream There arc not any summer trails except foot trails and provi sions and mining tools can only be transported on the backs of men I do not find anything either in Alaska or Northwest territory to jus tify the great rush of people to that country or the enormous investment now being made in transportation trading and mining companies In Northwest territory no discoveries of extraordinary richness have been made since that of the Klondike and the claims are almost entirely con fined to Bonanza Eldarado Dominica Honka and Sulphur with a few claims on Dear creek In this district all rich claims arc well known and held at very high prices and while the whole country has been staked it has been done for speculative purposes and no work Is being done except such as is necessary to hold title until they can be sold to the unwary newcomer or disposed of In tho states for corporation schemes Capt Constantine of time Canadian Northwestern mounted police is my authority for denouncing the move ment as a fraud In the absccnce of any other industry except cutting wood for tho river boats I do not see anything in the future for over 00 per cent of the people now flocking to that country but disappointment and suffering Even those who obtain employment at 150 per hour find that after de ductlng time cost of foodpacking can dIes etc they do not net to exceed 2 per day and they tell me it is barely enough to tide them over the idle sea son Up to date no paying mineral lodes of either gold or silver have been discovered in north Alaska so far as knownDEVELOPMENT WILL BE SLOW I am now fully satisfied that in the near future Alaska will be time source of great wealth but the development will necessarily be slow owing to the climate conditions I recommend the early introduction of horses mules and cattle and extra inducements should bo held out for the development of agriculture in the valley of the lower Yukon especially Wild hay can l e obtained there In great abund ance and oats barley and spring wheat can be successfully cultivated as well flu potatoes turnips and all the more hardy garden vegetables all of which would bo required for many years to meet time local demand and by reducing the cost of tarnsportation and food render It possible to profita bly work a large per cent of the mines now lying idle SPAINS TWENTY MILLIONS Tho Ilonie Committee on Appropriation Ordered a VaVorable Report on tbe lUll to ray It Washington Feb 21The house committee

condition up in the following I language The month of January was more sail f V1lactory this year than it has been for sev years and from every indication this will be the greatest year ever known in the history of American lumber business There is an enormous amount of I building in progress and all mechan ics throughout the country have plenty of work in sight and most flittering prospects MUCH to the discomfort of the Democrats and especially of Ken tucky Democrats is the fact that Congressional record shows that the only objection made to the pay ment of the debt of 20000000 to Spain contracted by the debt mak j ing power of the government the 1 President and the Senate in the peace treaty came from the Demo cratic side of Congress and from Kentucky The honor of this illustrious action rests upon Con- gressmanr Wheeler of the first dii trict IN the second installment of The SpanishAmerican War in ffarftrj Mogatint for March Sen ator Lodge discusses the coming- of war the destruction of the Maine the signing of the Ulti matum and the battle of Manila This is the first account of the war by a man who has already a na tional reputation as an historian and it presents a calm dispassion Ute and truly historical account of the exciting events of 1898 Among other special features of the March magazine is the opening installment of The Princess Xenia a new serial by H B Marriott Watson author of The Adventurers Of special interest is an article entitled The Massa cre of Fort Dearborn at Chicago by Simon Pokagon a fullblooded Indian whose father was present- at the massacre Humane Work The news has gone abroad widely of the extra work done by the coal miners of Earlington and Mortons Gap during the coal crisis and the spirit in which the work has been done by the operators and the men has been a subject of especial com q ment The vigorous movement of the coal by the officials of the I Louisville and Nashville Railroad here has also been widely men tioned by the daily press It has been a question of hUe manity rather than of profit that has led the coal operators to run I the mines part of two Sundays during the fearfully cold weather when men were without fuel and almost freezing elsewhere The humane side of the situation it was too that appealed to the men I upon wboae efforts depended the output of the much needed black I diamonds And the railroad of ficials and men were imbued with the same spirit and did all that Iwasneeded to get tile coal to the towns that were suffering So far as in their power lay all T these did what they could to take p ty hVc- t the cold ox out of the ditch and they have the thanks of all those people in many places who were dependent upon their efforts President McKinley The following characteristic expressions of President McKinley taken from his recent speech be fore the Boston Commercial Clubs are having as they deserve the careful perusal and consideration of the American people Not only Is our business good but our money is good There is no longer fear of debased currency It has been happily dis pelled The highest and best standard recognized by the leading commercial na lions bas been maintained aud it has been done without a resort to loans Tbe cause of sound money bas advanced in the last two years Honest finance has made posi live gains I do not think we quite appre date tbe full measure of Its success Both branches ot Congress on the 4th of March next will have an unquestioned ma jority opposed to fcny demoralization our currency and committed to uphold the worlds standard Certainly for two years every branch of the national Government will be united for good currency and the Inviolability of our national obligations and credit The investments and other enterprises of the people can therefore not be unsettled by sudden changes We have been engaged in war Two hundred and seventy thousand of our clti zens have been in the field our sailors have been afloat in two hemispheres and yet the business of the country has been steadily growing the energy of our people quickened our resources multiplying and at the end of our glorious land and naval triumphs we had oar country in a condition of almost unparalleled activity and prosperity Our domestic situation is fortunate in deed considering the new questions which we must meet and solve That they will be settled on tbe line of right and duty I can not doubt and that the business men of Boston and of the whole country will be an active and helpful force In their rightful solution I confidently beheve He HaBrayedC- ongressman Wheeler of the First district of Kentucky has fixed himself with his colleagues in Con gress if not with his constituents in the wild and wooly First The sentiment at Washington seems to have been expressed by Represen tative Fitzgerald who arose after Mr Wheeler had made his point of order which defeated the meas ure in its present form to pay Spain the 20000000 necessary to make good our obligations assumed by the framers of the peace treaty and saidI to say Mr Chairman that the gentleman from Kentucky does not repre sent the Democratic party in making these points of order This astute Kentuckian will not feel quite so smart when he hears from those of his constituents who do not believe in repudiating even national obligations and finds he stands entirely alone in Congress on this question Ooebels Chances From Walter Forresters Free Press The Democrats over the State have been disappointed in Goebcl He is a failure as an orator and utterly without personal magnet ism He relies solely on his superior shrewdness to win If he has a single real personally devoted political friend in Kentucky that fact has not been developed Every man who follows Goebel does so as a matter of interest and nearly every one would rather be for some bne elsew it is doubt ful if Goebel can get the instruc tions of a single Congressional dis trict in the State of Kentucky and be will not likely be consulted as to the ticket This will leave Urey Woodson of Owensboro with nothing but a superb suit of curly hair and a wild yearn for an office The only other two Goebel men in the State are Appellate Clerk Sam Shackelford and Charlie Lewis of Shelbyville These two roosters will be allowedto pick gravel with the other chickens but that is all they will get out of the game To Harness the Ocean E S Martin in Harpers Weekly IIt has been matter of observa tion these many years that the ocean could do any amount of work if only a harness could be devised that it would work in The tides rise and fall but it is only in rare cases that tidewater turns a wheel The waves are never at ret and motion is force but the motion of the waves is rarely put to larder work than blowing a horn or ringing a bell on a buoy At this time when the state of business favors all sorts of new industrial venture it is interesting to notice the appearance of two schemes for making the ocean fur nish power for use ashore One is an invention patented January 31 which aspires to turn the tides to account as a power for driving waterwheels running electric motors and making compressed air It calls for an inlet or pond which the tideshall fill and in which the water shall be retained by a dam A big float with a series of reservoirs on it supported by a frame work is part of its ap paratus and the general idea is to fill the floating reservoirs from the pond at low tide and get power as long as the tide continues to ebb from the waters thus stored The other scheme for the utiliza iOn of wavemotion provides for a collection of buoys anchored off shore which are to compress air which is to be stored in a reservoir and used to run engines Some large buoys are making now for use in testing this plan and it is an nounced that the device is to have an elaborate trial next summer on the south shore of Long Island Both of these schemes are said to have enough capital behind them to make a thorough test of their possibilities THEY GO HAND IN HAND Farmers and Manufacturers Traveling the Same Road to Prosperity From New York Commercial An examination of American exports for 1898 reveals the fact that for every dollars worth of American manufactures rather more than h worth of American agricultural products found their way abroad How long this gratifying proportion will continue it is very hard to guess in view of the strides which American manufacturers are now taking to secure their full share of foreign trade But the lead which agriculture still has in this countryover manufacturing is sufficient to promise a long lease of life to American industrial progress along present linesTimewas in our history when the cultivation of the soil embraced interests so preponderant that they had but to demand a certain policy at the polls for that policy to be adopted no matter how entirely destructive it might prove to every other than the agricultural interest Under such cir cumstances manufacturing had pretty hard sledding in this coun try for many years No sooner had it lifted its head and at tempted to flourish as it should than the agricultural interests conceiving that American manu facturers were being encouraged at the expense of the tiller of the soil changed the policy of encourage ment to manufactures at home to one of encouragement to manufactures abroad leaving the smokeless chimneys of American plants as a pathetic monument to the fickle patriotism of American farmers and the pitiful short sightedness of unbridled human selfishness in general Times have vastly changed since then The farmer has learned the value of the adjacent manufacturing village as a market and has come forth fully to realize the truth of Adam Smiths declar ation that the home market is twice as valuable sale for sale as the foreign market On the whole though availing himself of the for eign market as an outlet for his surplus the farmer has become a sturdy champion of American manufacturing The reason why a good lead in agriculture is nee cessary to the countrys general industrial thrift is that a large ago riculturalexport indicates that food is cheaper here than it is at least in the countries which pur chase our food which are cheifly the manufacturing countries As long as foreign laborers engaged in manufacture are compelled to pay at least as dearly for their food as American laborers in the same pursuits our manufacturers cannot complain that they are hampered in their struggle for for eign markets by the higher cost of provisions here and their conEe quent compulsion on that score to pay higher wages and thus go handicapped into the foreign marketJust as long as manufacturing and agriculture go hand in hand and agree mutually to enjoy be tween them the great blessings of the American policy of American markets for American products so long will the road to American greatness and predominating in fluence in the worlds affairs be unobstructed But if either of these great interests becomes jeal ous of tho other and carries its grievance to the polls an interne cine struggle is likely to result during which the wealth of the great American market will be dis producersThen again learn the bitter lesson that family quarrels arc the most destructive as they arc the least excusable of all quarrels POLITICAL POINTS The friends of Lieut Col David R Murray of Cloverport are wanting to run him as a candidate for the Congressional nomination m the next election The

Mansel Slik was posting up some accounts and was using his spectacles to assist failing vision During his labors he felt some foreign substance betwixt his teeth and taking off his specs he used one of the side pieces of the same to dislodge the annoyance By stick ing the piece between his teeth like a toothpick be soon accomplished his pur pose but when he attempted to draw I out again it stuck bard and fast He made several convulsive efforts to jerk it out and failed then becoming alarmed he pranced and bellowed about the room like a calf choked on a turnip The uproar he created soon drew a crowd who grasped the situation and also grasped tbe old man whose eyes hung out on stems with terror and held him until one of their number released the spectacles No doubt the qnettlont of the day

reply vitBIMy tlmo Is not yet como so they wont without him but Ho wont up Inter and aa Ho taught tho Jews wondered at Ills knowledge and Ills teaching as had not been to their schools Its reply to thorn vn9I My doctrine IB not Mine- but Ills that sent Me verso 10 Ho took no credit for Ills words or works Ho sought no glory for Himself 28 Thou cried Jesus In tho temple as Ho taught saying Yo both know SIo and yo know whonco I mn and I ant not como of Mysef but ho that sont MO Is true whom yu know not They had sold Wo know this tuna whenco Ho Is but when Christ comoth no man knowetli whonco Ho is verso 27 They know that Ho WM from Nazareth and of humble parentage and that was all they professed to know but If they had been honest they would have said Wo know that Thou nrtft teach cr como from God John 111 2 29 But I know Him for I am from Him and Ho hath sent Mo Ho said agatnliAs tho Father knowoth Mo oven so know I tho Father John x IB and again No nan knowoth tho Son but tho Father neither knoweth any man tho Father BOVO tho Son and Ho to whomsoever tho Son will reveal Him fMath xl 27 In His prayer Ho said Wrlghtoons Fa ther tho world hath not known Thee but I have known Thoo and thcso havo known that Thou hast sent Mo John xvII 25 80 Then they sought to take Him but no man laid hands on Him because His hour was not yet come Many a tlmo would they havo token Him but they could not touch Him till tho appointed time When they did finally tako Him It was because lie allowed them to and when Ho died Ho freely gave up Ills life Ho laid It down of Himself they could not tako It from Him John x 18 31 And many of tho people believed on Him anti saId When Christ comoth will Ho do moro miracles than those which this man hath done While some beloved and some believed not anti many who professed to bollovo turned back and walked no moro with Him chapter vl CO Ho kept steadily on bearing latthful testimony and doing tho Fathers works and will sure that all whom tho Father gavo to Him would como unto Him chap tot vl 87 and that Ho would ace of tho travail of His soul and be satisfied Isa 1111 11 83 Tho Pharisees beard that tho poo plo murmured such things concerning Him anti tho Pharisees and tho chief priests sent officers to tako Him They might havo remembered that n certain king of Syria did his best to tako ElUho but In vain or that Ahab did his best toI and Elijah but also failed that Senna cherlb would have taken Jerusalem but could not When will tho enemies of God stop tmaglntag vain things Not till tho antichrist yet to bo manifested Is destroyed and satan shut up In tho pit and oven after that there shall be enemies of GodI until satan Is finally cost Into tho lako of fIre and tho kingdom comes 83 Then said Jesus unto them Yet a llttlo whllo am I with you and then I go unto Him that sent Me The tlmo was short until Ho would glvo Himself up and lot them tako Him and kill Him but oven In death Ho woujd go to tho Father and after tho resurrection Ho would in His glorlflcd body ascend to the Father For moro than 80 years Ho had willingly ab sented Himself from lila homo In glory bearing all manner of humiliation and scorn for our sakes and soon Ho was to bocomo our sin offering bearing our sins In His own body on tho cross 84 Yo shall seek Mo and shall not find Mo and wbero I am thither yo cannot como In chapter vlll 21 Hosays I go My way and yo shall seek Mo and shall die In your sins Whither I go yo cannot come In verso 21 of tho same chapter Ho says II If ye bollovonot that I nm He yo shall dlo In your sins Now Is tho time to sock Him for it Is written SeekI ye tho Lord whllo Ho may be found IndInil who truly sock surely find Isa IvI0 Jer xxix 13 Math vII 8 but if thoIsinner will not yield to tho seeking iour for Ho Is always seeking ever slncoI Ho sought Adam hiding from HutS InI Edenthen there Is a possibility of the oxporloncoof Provo J 28 Then shall they call upon Mo but I will not answer They shall seek Mocarly but they shall not find Mo 85 Then said tho Jews among them selves Whither will Ho go that we shall not find Him Will Ho go unto tho dlsIporsod among the gentiles and teach the gentiles If they believed Him to be possessed of n devil as they sold theyI could not think of Ills going to heaven to leave them but oven If Ho should pos slbly boa good man and go to heaven surely they would find Him for wero not all going that way at least In theIrI own opinion Anything moro than a- more man they could not coo Him to be and so they understood Him not because they would not receive Him 80 What manner of saying Is this that Ho 6Itc1lYe shall seek Mo and shall not find Mo and whore I am thither yo can not comet It Is not strange that tlioee unbelievers could not understand

Comment br Iter S II Doyle Tone A jnlssionnry church Acti xIII 112 A missionary meeting The church at Antioch was the most illustrious church of apostolic days It surpassed in ltd achievements oven the church at Jerusalem It was founded- as a result of missionary effort it wet nourished and built up by missionaries and in tho providence of God it becunie tho star ting point from which proceeded tho great missionary movements by which tho heathen world was brought to tho foot of the cross by which wo ourselves know of God and salvation through Christ This church may therefore bo looked upon in a peculiar sense as a missionary church and by studying it wo may learn what n missionary chnrch should be Every church should bo n missionary chnrch and every Christian En denvorer should strive to mako his church one Let us therefore study the characteristics of this world renowned missionary church and try to make oar churches like it 1 The church at Antioch was a well informed church It had prophets and teachers The prophets were under the ecstatic influence of the Holy Ghost The teachers wero expounders of Chris tian truth under the teaching of the Spirit II By such eminent prophets and teachers as Antioch possessed it is easy for us to believe that they were not only informed as to their personal and local needs but also of the need of the world for the gospel Wo cannot imag ino Barnabas and Paul neglecting the COUEO of heathendom A church that aspires to boa missionary church must bo well informed aloug missionary lines Knowledge creates an interest and inspires with a desire to help in tho work of evangelizing tho world It is the lack of information that causes many churches to be indifferent to mis sions 2 The church at Auticcli was a spir itual church They fasted and prayed They kept as far as possible from the world and as close as possible to God They wore on intimate terms with the Holy Ghost Ho spoke to them and re vealed His will to thorn More devotion more praying and self denial more of the Holy Ghost would make many a church wore of a missionary church than it is 3 Tho church at Antioch was an obedient church It obeyed the Holy Ghost without hesitation and without complaint The Holy Ghost requested that Paul and Barnabas be separated for n special work They fasted and prayed and laid their hands upon them and sent them away The task assigned to the missionaries was tremendous The difficulties must havo seemed insur mountable yet they obeyed at once yet they went poor unpracticed and unarmed and in spite of all obstacles succeeded An obedient church must be- n missionary church Tho command of the Master is to send tho gospel to every creature in tho world Tho church that fails to do its sharo of tho work Ian disobedient church 4 Tho church at Antiooh was a sell denying church Some pooplo may think it gave nothing to mlesioniaHow mistaken they are I They gave ff gift that must have boon a great sacrifice that must havo cost much self denial on their part They gavo Paul and Barna bas I What church would want to deny itself of such workers as these It would certainly cost moro than to give money to tho cause of missions

ACCIDENTS LEXINGTON Kv Feb 2oTho lion G W Stone Stats Inspctor of Mines is now putting the finishing touches on his annual report for the year 1898 It will probably be ready for the printer by March 10 Most of the statistical tables aro made up and the following extracts from the re ports will show tho years output and con lain other matters ot Interest regarding Kentuckys coal mines- KENTUCKY COAL Complete returns Item nil the commercial coil mines of the State for 1898 ex cept one small mine for the manh of De cember and U estimated show a total production for the year of 3542132 Ions This is the greatest in the history of the State and 238079 tons in excess of the output of 1897 which wn larger than that of any previous year The production of the several counties for 1897 and 1898 In tons of 2000 pound Is as follows Counties 1897 1898 86891Uojrd17983Duller1148CbrUllanDaviema3549 7MI 94Henderson961716JohnsoniSjinLaurel 55251Lee21515Muhlenberg 416519Pulaikl 1016Union54096WhitleyTotal 3304033 35213S- The years output would probably have been 151000 tons larger but for serious strikes and suspensions of work In several localities The year closed with ninetyfive com panic emyloyiog a mixlmnm force of 84C8 employee and operating 128 mines The cannel year is included in the above amounts but 1898 when compared with 1897 shows a loss of 6621 tons in this product MACHINE MINING The tendancy of the operators is more and more toward machine mining Com mencing with 1895 the following per cent of the product of each year was mined with machines 1893 adiafioi4189630 189843Th- ere are 171 mining machines in use in the various mines Of these ass are operated with ompresied air and forty nine with electricity About 1300000 tons of the product were marketed outside of the State of Kentucky as asilntt only 31 per cent thus marketed of lha 1897 product bowing a healthful growth on this important line As compared with 1897 there was a loss In the production ofcoke of 10891 tons ACCIDENTS The fatalities of the year among the em ployes were reduced to the minimum there having been only six This is the lowest number ever reached in any one year ex cept in 1896 when there were but six deaths But the production of 1898 is greater than that of 1896 by 359654 tons making the record of 1898 better than any in the history of the office None of these deaths resulted from bad mine conditions but from defective and careless operations There were fortyseven noteworthy non fatal accidents during the year twenty four of which are classibed as serious and twentythree as slight- PROSPECTS FOR 1899 The prospect for a still larger yield the present year is excellent and such expec tations will most likely be realized unless the work shall again be seriously hindered by strikes No calculations can be made on the basis of strikes among the employes as such may be general or merely local and of longor short duration Wire Puller Charlie Co
