GOLD IN ALASKA.
■»
Latest Reports of Finds Seem Very Entic
ing, but New York Still Suits One Editor.
The very latest reports of new gold
finds come to us from the Yukon region,
Alaska, and the treasury at Washington
has received advices that an amount of
the precious metal valued at $ 100,000
has been brought to Unalaska for ship
ment. Three mouths ago we had en
couraging reports from the gold placet
mines on the Yukon, and both the Ju
neau Journal and the Sitka Herald told
of men there who had got piles that
were worth getting. An Alaskan from
whom we heard in May last declared
that over 1,000 men were then search
ing for the stuff; that the excitement
was spreading, and that there would
certainly be a big rush to the Yukon
country if it were not for the obstacles
to travel and transportation.
If the amount of gold in Alaska bears
any appreciable proportion to the
amount of ice, there will be no trouble
about getting people to go there. It is
alleged that the white population of the
purchase at this time numbers nearly
10,000. We are satisfied that Alaska
has been undervalued. It has extensive
fisheries, canneries and salteries, it has
larger areas of arable laud than anybody
knew of before the publication of Major
Powell’s report this year, it has vast, and
valuable forests, and it has mineral re
sources. Though a great part of its ter
ritory in uninhabitable, it is worth the
price we paid for it. It was an Alaskan
editor who once said that when Alaska
becomes a state of the Amercan Union
it will be the “shining star of tho Arc
tic ocean. ’ ’
We cannot at this time, however, ad
vise people to leave New York to settle
there.—New York Sun.
On k Water Cycle.
The attempt to cross the English
channel on a water cycle has apparently
been abandoned for the season by the
Frenchman who tried it and failed early
in August, says a Loudon paper. It is
not. unlikely, however, that the feat
will be attempted by Robert Brown,
sculptor, of Newport, Wales, who on
Wednesday crossed the Bristol channel
from Newport to Weston, a distance by
steamer route of 14 miles, but Brown,
owiug to the tide and other causes,
actually traveled 21 miles. The time
was :J, 1 4 hours. He finished in good con
dition. Brown’s cycle consists of two
cigar shaped tubes, each 17 feet long,
lying parellel and three feet apart.
They are filled with compressed air. In
the center space is a platform and seat
for a driver. Two paddle wheels, one
on the outside of each tube, are propel]
ed by the ordinary cycle pedals and
chain gearing. The steering gear con
sists of two rudders, which seem th--
weakest part of the machine and would
probably come to grief in rough water.

NEGROES IN THE DISTRICT.
They Want the Suffrage Restored Beowuse
They Charge I nation.
At the next session of congress a mon
ster petition will be presented by Repre
sentative Murray of South Carolina, the
only color* man in either house, pray
ing for the restoration of the rights of
political suffrage in the District of Co
lumbia. It will be signed by a majori
ty of the negroes of the District, headed
by Frederick Douglass and ex-Senator
Bruce. This move grows out of the re
fusal of the commissioners of the Dis
trict to appoint a colored man as one of
the members of the board of assessors
recently created by act of congress. The
colored men had an applicant in the
person of Daniel A. Murray, an assist
ant in the congressional library and a
member of the board of trade. Frederick
Douglass especially interested himself in
behalf of Mr. Murray, but the board re
fused to appoint him. The colored peo
ple made a stubborn fight for the assess
orship, and now that that has been de
nied them no offices are left, and they
propose to memorialize congress for the
restoration of the right of suffrage in
the District
When the suffrage was in vogue in
the District, the negroes were an impor
tant factor in the government, and a
part, of the patronage was accorded
them. There was a negro assistant dis
trict attorney, a tax registrar and a city
marshal, and other lucrative offices
were filled by them. But with abolition
of the right of suffrage they have been
cut off one by one until the assessors!)ip ■
was the only place filled by a negro. ]
Now even that has been taken away. |
Frederick Douglass says that the gov- j
ernment of the District is an oligarchy, i
and it is a wonder to him that the peo- '
pie have tolerated it as long as they
have. Under its present form of gov
ernment be thinks it impossible for the
85,000 colored people to get any civil
or political recognition. He says the
trend is now against the negro, but
that a reaction will speedily set in.
The sentiments of Mr. Douglass are
indorsed by other prominent colored
citizens of the District, who say that, if
they are not successful in their move
they will at least let the world know
they feel keenly the discrimination on
account of color in the government of
the District. The pastors of all the lo
cal churches are in favor of the move
ment, and the petitions will be placed
at the several churches from Sunday to
Sunday for signatures.—Washington

THE ROME TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1894.
SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUSTS.
Interesting Account of Some of Their Do
ing's During; Their Late Visit.
The 17 year locusts, about which the
newspapers printed so many articles
during the early part of the summer,
have come and gone, but their united
labors have left quite an impress upon
the forest scenery. In many places about
New York the oaks and other trees ex
hibit a great many broken branches, the
leaves of which have withered, and as
a consequence the woodland scenes show
in checkered spots a late autumnal
brown.
In old times, before the advent of the
white man with his ax, no doubt this
periodical pruning of the forest did not
do any harm, but in these later days,
when the locusts extend their attentions
to everything that has a large enough
stem to contain their eggs—to the peach,
the pear and the apple trees, to the cur
rant and gooseberry bushes—his estimate
of their wide utility is lost in his consid
eration of the oi chard thut has already
been pruned.
The eggs of the bs-usts were found
this summer in over 70 kinds of trees,
bushes and herbaceous plants. Indeed
the females tried their ovipositors on
everything that came in their way, of
ten apparently byway of experiment.
The distribution of the locusts into
colonies was interesting. They occu
pied by the million many hills and
patches of woodland that seemed to
difft r in no respect from neighboring
tracts where they were not. so numerous.
I In or of there colonies on Staten Island
I the ground about the tree trunks was
| so covered by the pupa shells that it
. was in places completely hidden, and
as tlv- season wore on the dead locusts
' had to be raked up, as they gave forth
an vnpleasatit odor. At dusk the sound
of tho many insects crawling from the
ground up the tree trunks was quite au
dibl<—a constant tramping—and par
ticularly vigorous pup;e sometimes as
cended the trees to a height of 30 feet.
The severe storm that prevailed in
the latter part of May killed and deform
ed many locusts just tlien emerging
from the ground and also damaged the
young leaves on the easterly sides of
exposed trees. In point of reputation
this storm also did the locusts harm, for
it was no uncommon matter to hear
them accused of causing the withered
condition of the leaves, even before
they had commenced to lay any eggs.
