Count Aldebert Sternberg Has
Had Hie Eyes Opened.
The London Times prints letter
from Count Aldebert Sternberg, who
took part in the Boer campaign, and
who declares the treatmeut he has
received from the British press and(
official sand non -official Englishmen.,
leaves late no cause to be an Anglo -
p
Sternberg says, while England is
hated, the Englishman is respected
and loved. Hatred alwaye arises
from a, sense of moral and mental in-
jury, and to this extent the Con-
tinent has a right to hate England,
because her policy is at all times di-
rected to promoting Continental
complications. The Continent doe*
not understand the 33oer war, aied
attacks Englaud's political morality
because it misunderstands the politi-
cal principle which England reprea
eents, the principle in which is Eng-
land's greatness. He says that the
English recognize only two factors
in the world, namely, God and Eng-
land.
The economic advantage to be de-
rived from. the gold fields, says
Sternberg, was merely a, contribut-
017 caUse of the South African war.
The real cause making action ira-
perative was the English principle,
the essence of which is free trade and
straightforwaxd competition. On the
Continent, this feeling is not under-
stood, beca,use the Continent does
not enjoy the blessings of civilize-
tien Ana Government based on the
word ”straight.'' Sternberg says
he always thpught England was the
enemy of the' Continent until he vis-
ited the United States and studied
economic conditions there. He now
believes that , Continental hatred of
England is ungrateful, and the Con-
tinent ought to awake and recognize
that its true enemy is arising in tho
West, like a great sun of gold, whose
rays have already been projected
across the Atlantic. America's only
principle, he says, . is worship of
mammon. Germany and *all Earope
should join with England,
TO FUMIGATE LUMBERMEN
Ottawa Will Take Precautions
Against Smallp ox. .
An Ottawa despatch says :-Health
Officer Law is considering the advisa-
bility of fumigating all lumbermen
aed their effects as,,soon as they ar-
rive in Ottawa. It is expected that
considerable disease, especially
smallpox, may possibly be brougait
down from the woods when the men
come down in the spring, and . in
order that evety precaution may be
taken, Dr. Law theiks it would be
advieable to have eaery man quar-
antined for a sufficient time to have
him and bis effects thoroughly , dis-
infected.
Dr: Hodgetts, proaincial inspectok,
was Etaked what be thought of this
scheme, and said be thoroughly' ap-
proved of it. He is of the opinion
that there may be considerable dan-
ger when the woodsmen come out,
and that all precautions .should be

The Romantic Story of the Suc-
cess of George W. Oar -
reads.
George W. Can -luta, the man who
drst struck gold in the Klondike, is
in Ottawa suing the Government for
the return of about $20,000, which
he claims the gold commissioner of
the Yukon wrongfully collected. from
him as royalty on the output of his
now famous claim, known as "Dia-
covery," on, Bonanza Creek. As a
discoverer, Oarmack Wan entitled
under the rainlng laws to exeraption,
in defiance of which, he says, the
full royalty of ten per cent. was col-
.
lected on his first season's output, of
nearly a quarter of a, million dol-
lars.
•MILLIONAIRE ONCE A GUIDE.
A. romantic story is the history of
this Yukon millionaire. When Wil-
liam Ogilvie first went into the Yu-
kon country 10 Year./ ago, he met a
white man named George Cannock, a,
prospector and hunter, living. with
the Tagisb. Indians. He employed.
this man as guide during his first
season's work in exploring the then
unknoWn. Country, drained by the
Yukon river and its -tributaries, and
learned from him ranch valuable in-
formation concerning the Indian
tribes with whom Carmack had
traded. It was through friendship of
these Indiana, in fact, that Carrnack
became a millionaire,
DISOBEYED ORDERS.
In 11393 William, Ogilvie .was • or-
dered to return to Ottawa, but as
gold had just been 'discovered in
Canadian, territory he wrote to the
Department of the Interior that he
had concluded to disobey orders and
!remain in the Klondike to survey
!claims for the miners. As Mr.
Ogilvie 'explained in his letter to
the Minister of the Interior the new
'name of the river was a mispro-
nunciation ef the Indian word Thron-
,thsk, meaning "plenty of fish," tale
stream. 'being so named because it
Was famous for its abuncience of
Salmon.
CARMACK FIRST IN, .
Mr. Ogilvie's report continued :-
"As I have already intimated, rick
placer mines df gold. were discovered
(in 1895) on the brandhes of this
stream. The discovery was due, I
believe, to the reports of the In-
dians. A white man named George
W. Carmack, who worked with me In
1887, was the first to take advan-
tage cg the , rumors and locate a
claim on the first branch, which•was
named by the 'miners Bonanza Creek.
Carmack loaated late in August, but
had to cut some logs for the mill
here (Fort Cudahy, .60 miles dis-
teat) to get a few pounda of pro-
visions to enable 'him to begin work
on his claim. s
