Miller, formerly of} Essanaba, Mich., has succeeded in coming from Dawson to the coast from over the trail. He left Dawson on March J, arriving here on April 27. It is his opinion that na will open between Dawson and St. Micbael’s about June 1, or two weeks earlier than usual owing to the warm weather prevailing on the Yukon. He looks for a general breakup of the ice this side of Daw- son before the middle of May. Miller says the steamer Bella and Weare will be likely to take the fir consignment of gold this year to St. Michael. They are now at Victoria and St, Michael in the ice near Cir- cle City.

Tur action of the President in re- fusing a major general’s commission, if it be true as reported, to William J. Bryan was exactly right, Mr. Bryan is a private citizen and he should take his chances in war with the rest of the inexperienced volun- teers. The same idea should be faithfully carried out in regard to the ‘#sons of great men’ whose t besieging the President fe ns for them. In this country let every maa earn his straps and let the young men rise as their fathers did. If » | civilians must be elevated to respon- sible positions in the volunteer army, they should be chosen for their innate ability and not for any matter of mere sentiment. _—— ‘WAR PLANS. The desperation of those newspa- pers who have systematically endeav- ed to embarrass the present administration in its management 0 the Cuban question is now mos strikingly shown in their criticisms ‘on the prosecution of the war by \be War Department. The cry that they now raise is ‘‘On to Havana.’’ They are endeavoring to make out that the President is acting too slowly, and they demand that Cuba be in- vaded and that Havana be taken at once. The plans of the War Department, and which must be sanctioned by the President, are made by the ablest ex- perts in military affairs in this nation and perhaps in the world. They are men who have made military strategy a life study; they are as patriotic as any civilians and they are as desir- ous as anyone that the war should be ended as soon possible. Their ad~ vice is that upon which the President is acting, and their plans will result in a glorious ending of this war. As far as as can be gathered the ebject of the President and the War Department is to deal Spain at the very beginning the most crippling blows possible; and the frst two strokes have been to that end. The destruction of the Spanish fleet at Manila at one blow has deprived Spain of her best possession and has destroyed eighteen of her war ves- sels. The blockade of Havana has rendered useless to Spain 80,000 of her best troops. Gen. Blanco and bjs army are valueless to Spain and are fast eating their way to starva- tion. The next stroke will be to destroy the Spanish fleet which is now sup- posed to be on its way to Porto Rico, The government is most wisely saving all its strength for this one blow. When this is done, Porto Rico, Cuba, the Canaries, and, in fact, all of Spain’s foreign posses- sions will be at the mercy of our army and navy, The loss to Spain of her Cape Verde fleet will deal her a vastly more serious blow, as far as ending the war is concerned, than the capture of both Havana and Porto Rico. The President's critics should wait. Events are even now moving with startling rapidity, But a few more days and the greatest naval battle of the world may have have been fought and Spain’s boasted ar- Mr. Robert Rivers hi painful, though not serious, Thursday evening while riding bis wheel.

THE NEW METHOD. Improved Process for the Manufacture of Mosaics. @ earliest specimens of mosaie work, known respectively as the Rom- an and the Florentine, are so familiar to collectors as to require no deserip- tion. Their period was followed by the encaustic tiles, of the so-cal Italien Renaissance, in which the sur- lab was carved or en- ®& manner that the lines and eurfaces to be executed in color in the design were sunken and then filled with the required colored clays. When the composition became hard, the tiles were finished by shav- ing the surface, and the design was thus exposed in clear and sharp lines, A process subsequently introduced by the English potters consisted in eparing a plaster mold having the face. Into this mold th hus obtained at once with the sunken in the eurfas rithout ing down of the or, still necessary h is till in use in a very bright} of being tedious of on and expensive, and with it ult to secure a product suffi- rue for floor use, especially “al colors are inlaid in the In a new process the lrawbacks attendant on the earlier thods are said to be removed.
