MANY COLD SEEKERS. Next Spring to Witnese a Oreat Bnih For the Klondike. . Consul Smith, at Victoria, In a report to the slate department discusses the subject of the Klondike gold fields. The advices received at Victoria, he xays, Indicates that the rush In '49 to California and later to South Africa will be eclipsed by the Kold seekers headed for the Yukon In the early months of 1898. Agents from England have been at Victoria making ar rangements for 3.000 or 4.000 gold seek ers. Merchants there have secured Rreat suplles of outfit goods, nnd the transportation companies have made arrangements sufficient to make dally lines between that port and St. Mich aels, Talya, Skaguay and Fort Wran gle. The Canadian authorities have made every possible arrangement for an all-Canadian route to the Kold fields, and are trying to made It to the Interest of miners to purchase their outfits In Canada. This Is to be done through tariff laws. Hun. Clifford Slf ton, the Canadian minister of the In terior, made a trip to the Northwest recently, and In address Intimated that the hundred pounds' exemption now allowed by the Canadian government to the miners would be abrogated by the first of January, and that probably everything not bought In Canada would have to pay duty.

The consul goes to aome extent Into a description of the methods of mining In Alaska, gathered front peo ple who have returned from there. One man told him he regarded Alaska as a more profitable place for miner to go than to Canada, owing to the exces sive royalty charged by the dominion government, which It seems there Is no expectation of having repealed. The Klondike stratum runs In the direction of Alaska, and those men who nave interest In the mines there are doing as well aa those In Canada. Doei Hot Want Foreign Aid.

"DOWN WITH THE GERMANS." Bo Cry the Bioting Cieche in tho Streets of Anuria. The Jubilation of the Hermans over the fall of the Austrian ministry, nnd the forced resignation of Count Hadenl tins aroused tho Czechs at Praguo to riot. In spite of the military a large Cxech mob made a descent during Wednes day evening upon the German quarter and plundered bouses and shops In sev eral streets. The furniture of a well known (lerman cafe was piled up In the streets and set on fire. When a detachment of troops approached to disperse tho rioters the soldiers were greeted with showers of stones, broken glass anl other missiles. The officers In command ordered his troops to pre pare to fire, hut at the urgent request of a police official the order was not carried Into effect. Two special sufferers from the riots are Huron Von Aehrenshal, a repre sentative of the German land owners In the relchsrath, and Count Von Salm.

"" IMPORTANT TREATY MT ' ENDED. A QUESTION OF TARIFFS. Arrangementi by which Oermany and Eng land Enjojr Matnal Advantage. Commercial Agent Stern, at Bam berg, In a report to the State Depart ment, says that at thn Instnnce of Great Britain, negotiations for a new treaty with Germany have begun.' Thn treaty about to be terminated concedes to German trade thn enjoyment of any concession or privilege granted to the colonies of ((rent Britain or to the mother country by tho colonies. Oermany does not have the same advantages with the Dutch, French and Spanish colonies. The relations of the three latter mother countries to their colonies Is much closer In matters of trade than England with hers. In ferring to the fact that Canada has re cently mndn concessions In her tariff to English goods, and after expressing the opinion that there Is no doubt other English colonies will soon foll6w Can ada, Mr. Stern says: "Great Britain will then be obliged to make concessions In her turn ad alter her customs law In such a way that certain products of her colonies may be Imported Into the mother coun try under more favorable conditions than the corresponding products of other countries. This would be carry ing Into effect the plan to amalgamate all parts of the British empire Into one customs union." Mr. Stern says that In tho German tariff a certain nmount of considera tion seems to have been extended, re sulting In a great Incrense of trade, and In comparing the figures It Is shown that Imports to Germany from England and her colonies have been considerably greater than Germany's exports thither. He Instances a num ber rf articles which England and her colonies send to Germany and upon which the tariff amounts to but very little. Influential German papers discussing the termination of the treaty, say that It will be easy for Germany to make reprisals and that an Increase In Ger man tariff rates would be much more serious for England than Germany. COALIIf 0 BTATI0H Ilf CHINA. Oermane Take Advantage of the Murder of Missionaries. There Is much self-congratulation among the Germans that the mission ary Incident In China absolves the gov ernment from tho tedious and, per haps, abortive process of diplomati cally claiming a coaling station In thn form of a demand for a treaty port or a settlement on perpetual lease. It Is believed unnecessary to take 'Great Britain Into account; she Is overoccu pled elsewhere, w hile Jnpan Is not like, ly to resist the coalition of Germany, Kussla nnd France. When the (lerman reinforcements arrive at Klao-Choti bay they will bring the total (lerman force there up to 4.M6 men. the largest body Germany has ever sent beyond European waters.

The ministers of fi nance. Justice and public works In the retiring cabinet will not appear In Its successor. The resignation of Gen.

Trade reports for Inst week aa follows). The monthly report of failures shows defaulted liabilities of $11,610,195 In No vember, against $12,700,856 last yearV Because of three large failures for $3, 250,000, not dun to present conditions, the aggregnto In November waa only $l,or0,ooo less than Inst year, and exJ cept for these would have been small er then In August, September or OotoJ ber. Thn decrease In nearly all branch" es of business shows the payment have been remarkably good and !-; faults unusunlly small. Other eviden ces of thn state of business are con' vlnclng, except In speculative lines. Wages havo been voluntarily advanc ed for nearly 30,000 workers In woolens and Iron. Stocks are somewhat strong er. having advanced $1 47 for railway and $1 57 for trusts. The true value of American railway stocks Is steady, ris ing with earnings, which for November thus far are 20.9 per cent larger than last year and 3.7 per cent In the same) wrek of 1892. It Is the season for waiting In most Industries, but at least one other fur nace has gone Into bloat, and the low est price of Bessemrr at Pittsburg, af ter purchases of 30,000 tons. I $10 16 per ton, with $9 26 for gray forge. Eastern holders nre sometimes Impatient and yet sure that January will bring a large) demand, and meanwhile the award of ship plate contracts to eastern firm gives them Important help, though thai demand for bars Is slow at the East and at Pittsburg, but Is really strong at Chicago for agricultural and railway, supplies. Structural orders are season ably In abeyance. But contracts fop pipe for Ixmdon elicit sharp bidding at Pittsburg. The voluntary absence of 20 per cent. In wages of worsted workers at Provi dence, restoring tho rates of 1893, Iff evidence of the prosperity of that manufacture. After much hesitation In other branches, which may be Justi fied, this Important department of tha woolen Industry puts Itself at th front, virtually declaring Its ability to face any foreign competition. The pur chases of Australian wool at Boston have again been large, 2.435.000 pounds nut of 6,170.700 pounds of all-wool at the three chief markets, against 8.821, 300 pounds for the same week last year. The wheat market has deceived ev erybody, dropping In the face of an erormous foreign demand, Just when an advance might reasonably have been anticipated. Thn western receipts, 6.8P2,42.ri bushels, against 2.964,621 bush els Inst year, and for five weeks. 33, 9fi2,.r29 bushels, against 20,871,428 bush els last year, are Just now more Im pressive In the market than the At lantic exports, which have been 4,187. 472 bushels, flour included, for tha week, against 2.079.467 bushels last year. But In thn long run the outward movement will affect prices, although the surprisingly large Increase at the West Indicates a considerably greater yield than has been anticipated. So tha enormous receipts of cotton from plan tations, exceeding those to date of the great crop of about 10,000,000 hale In 194, tend to check all speculation, al though both foreign and domestic de mands for spinners have been material ly restricted. Failures for thn week have been 308 In thn United States, against 397 last year, and 28 In Canada, against 55 last year. Th Power of a Flying Machlna A flying machine, brought to Mount Holly, N.
