REAL AIM OF THE OPEN DOOR The question is being anxiously asked whether we have actually the open door fssurances which Mr. Hay sought from the powers. If the resolution of Mr. Cummings of New York calling on the State Department for correspondence on the subject of the open door of China leads to that corre- spondence being made public it will relieve a great deal of uncertainty as to what has actually been accomplished by the State Department. It has for some time been expected that a message would be sent to Congress this subject, including the correspondence, without a request from either house for information. The fact that this has not been done leads to the inference that the matter is not yet quite ape for a full aisclosure; but it fs tment will not wait changed so much in since the matter first difficult to determine this time.

THE BEACH OF GOLD A Tremendous Rush at Cape Nome Indi- cated During the Summer. Gold is Said to Be There in Great Quantities and Awaits Only the Miner's Shovel. Judge S. B. Shepard, for several years United States commissioner at St. Michael, Alaska, {s at present in Washington, and is stopping at the Arlington. F “I left Alaska,” raid he to a Star re- porter, “on one of the last boats that came down to the states, in last October. I have spent three summers and two winters in that territory, and my convictions as to the growth and the future development of its wonderful mineral and other resources + are based upon actual knowledge, and are most firm and pronounced. “Whatever else may have found its way into print regarding the new Eldorado at Cape Nome which are exaggerations, there have been no fanciful creations to its mar- velous richness in gold and the prolifienes 7 the yellow metal there awaiting he who ay find {t. According to the figures of the transportation companies that “handle and carry the gold for the miners from the cape to the mint in San Francisco, the out- last year was $2,600,000, This does not le the dust which miners themselves don their persons, and the sum of which must have aggregated a very con- siderable amount, but which, of course, can only be estimated.

The new y over the pass and improved boat ties on the lakes on the Klondike route, however, have greatly reduced the disagreeable features of the journe “I would not. of course, make an esti- mate of the output of the Cape Nome dig: gings for the ensuing season, but I believe that $10.000,000 will be a conservative one.

AID FOR THE PORTO RICANS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, March 22, 1900. ‘The note struck by the Nebraska platform recently adopted gives rise to a varied song among the gold democrats of this city. Some of these democrats are In thorough discord with the Nebraska strain, others are in harmony with it to the extent that they express a willingness to support a democratic candidate on it. All are of the opinion that the utierance shows clearly where Bryan stands and what his platform at Kansas City will be, and they declare themsetyes on the one side or the other in expectation that this platform, with Bryan on it, will be the stand of the democracy in the next campaign. Most of those inter- ested y are against the platform and Some will not have Bryan on any possible platform he might siand on. The gold democrats of this way of feeling show themselves to be fervent and irre- eencilable. Those who take the opposite view do it with the declaration that Bryan and his platform are not their choice. The New Financial Situation. Checks for the payment of premiums by the government on the exchange of United States bonds for the new twos are dribbling into the New York banks, which in turn present them through the clearing house as a charge upon the subtreasury.

The New York Tribune of today Advices from Pittsburg last night officially the settlement of the difficulty between Andrew Carnegie and H. C. Fiick.

As the capital stock will represent the estimated aggregate of the properties absorbed, and is all to be subscribed by the present owne will be reall. kind in the the Carnegie Company the vastest corporation of United States, if not in the world: as, although the Federal Steel Com- pany pitalized at $200.000,000, its out- standing stock is less than half that great sum. A natural consequence of the agreement for the organization of the Carnegie Com- pany is the abandonment, now formally an- nounced, of the proceedings in equity insti- tuted by Mr. Frick last month, entire har- mony having been restored between Mr. Frick and Mr. Carnegie. soe — TWO BLUEJACKETS SHOT. Boatawal Mate of the Killed in Galveston Michael Melligan, boatswain's mate of the United States gunboat Machias. was shot and killed at the Tremont street ferry land- ing in Galveston, Texas, last night. His brother Edward, fi jass fireman of the cruiser New York, was shot in the lip. H. M. Ward, master of the Gulf and Interstate Railway Company's steamer Lawrence, was arrested for the shooting. The jackies were entertaining at an oyster roast in the afternoon. When they return- ed to the dock the tug which brought them ashore was not there to take them back to their vessel, so they attempted to negotiate with the Lawrence to take them, but the master declined because of the heavy fog and rough sea. He claims that about twen- ty-five of them attempted to take posses- sion of the steamer, and that this resulted in the shooting. The dead man was thirty-five years ald. He leaves a wife in Boston.

Unusual Marine Loxses. he losses of the marine underwriters tor two months and a half of the pre: year have been so numerous and have included so many large steamships as to more than make up for the comparatiy ly v ses which occurred in the fall and ter of 18M. No less than fifteen large amnships have been wrecked or reporte sing since January 1, 1900. This is a r arkable number of losses for so short a period, and especially is this the case when it is remembered that no great storm has lashed the Atlantic in that time. The losses to the marine underwriters have been enor- mous. The losses, however, are not to be compared to those which the Jerwriters sustained in the season of SS ESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION. a BI Meetings of Executive Committee and Board of Directors, Tbe executive committee and the board of directors of the Business Men's Associa- tion held meetings yesterday afternoon.
