AVE. Hr.OODSlIKI) JIAT 11ESUL.T. The Stationing of Caniullim Customs OrfictalH Cmivi's Indignation. Tncoma, March 7. Great indignation prevails among the 10.000 men who are t-cattered along the Skaguay and Dyea trails, at the stationing of Canadian customs ofllccrs at the summit of the passes.

Now even the food which the Klondikers will consume while boatbuilding at Lake Bennett must pay duty. So must every pack animal owned by the freighters, and their feed for each trip to the lakes. At Lake Bennett rental Is to be charged for tenting ground. Logs to build cabins will co-st J10. and logs for flrewood or boatbuilding 'JH cents each.

Twenty-live dollars Is charged for every dog.

Iist week the Klondikers along both trails held meetings at which threats were made of mnrching together past the customs btations, and refusing to pay duty. Serious trouble seems in Fight, though it Is hoped that the presence of United States troops at Skaguay will precnt bloodshed.

The collection of duty on dogs, packhon-cs and food, and the charge for logs and fuel at the hikes are lunong the Increased charges Jui-t put into effect in an apparent endeavor to force all Klondikers to outfit in the British Columbia towns. It Is feared on Pugct Sound that the Canadians have secured the whiphand In this respect. Inspector Belcher, with twenty policemen, at Chilkoot Pass, and Capt.

March 7. More than -1 000 Irishmen and Irishwomen crowded Into the Academy of Music last night to do honor the memory of Robert Emmet. Beforo the evening was far adanced the demonstration was twofold. When the Iiish Volunteers marched on the stage with the Stars and Stripes and the flag of Erin the band struck up "The Star Spangled Banner." Tie cheers that followed drowned the music. "Hurrah for Old Glory'" rang out a voice.

The man carrying the national emblem waved the flag, and the people were wrought up to a high pitch of en thusiasm. Several minutes elapsed beforo quiet was restored. The climax of the demonstration was reached during the speech of Congressman Rowland Blennerhasset Mahauy. Ho was speaking of ruritanism siill existing In this country, and which, he said, was always arrayed against the Irish. "These degenerate descendants of the original Puritans no, I cannot call them degenerates, because I have too much contempt for their ancestors to admit of possible degeneration are against he said; "but we are here, to stay and to fight for the dear old! Styrs and Stripes while the red blood of Erin flows through our veins." He stopped long enough to grasp the flag and draw it across his breast.

The cheering was "If war is declared he continued, "the will furnish 20,000 well-armed) and well-drilled troops to fight for There were cries from the audience of "Right you are!" "Free Cuba!" and "Long live freedom!" Once again the band struck up the national anthem and the cheering continued for several minutes. The next outburst occurred during the eulogy of Ireland's great men by Congressman Mahany. He had just spoken of the positions of prominence in foreign lands to which Irishmen of humble origin have arisen through sheer force of intellect. "Ireland has furnished prime ministers for Austria," he said, "and prime ministers for Spain." The word "Spain" was no sooner heard than there was a shower of hisses. The speaker stopped then recovering himself quickly, shouted at the top of his voice: "In answer to this demonstration, I will say that the Irish in America are not only capable of.

but willing to, counteract the Influence of the Irish in Spain." This led to another outburst of cheers, shouts and applause. A DUCK ATE GOLD. Five DollnrV Wortii of NiiKsets Taken From the Gizzard. New Yorl. March 7.

An assay conducted liv himself has netted It. V. llonnell, a truthful Mount Vernon citi7cn, worth of pure gold taken from the gizzard of a duck he bought of Butcher Dun-ton a few days apo. As the bird cost but SI. the Honnclls are and a duck dinner to the good.

Twenty-three small nuggits were taken from the of the duck, which came from Colorado, it is said. The doubt as to tho genuineness of the cold has liecn dispelled by Uonnell, who the nugfrets flat and tested them with acid. Then he weighed the product to determine the value. There were nine ducks in the oriirin.il consignment, but this is the only one tliat developed a iay streak. The remaining three were thoroutrli-y prospected by Mount Vernon miners, but not a trace of color could be found.

Mr. Ilotincll will endeavor to locate the place whence his cold-lined duck came, and if succcs-ful lie may erect a ten-stamp duck crusher there and get rich quickly. neurich's Maerzen beer is the pride of all beers. Tour credit Is good at Lansburg's Furniture House. 13th and sts.

0 PKIII'I-TITAL MOTION. AnotiiiT Man Sny II Has Found How to Keep Moving. Sjracuve. starch 7. A curious perpetual motion scheme Is that of S.

Rogers, of th! city. By an adjustment between tjie centrifugal, centripetal and gravitation forces the inventor has- kept a rude set of wooden wheels going perpetually for s-evcrnl months'. The wheels are fitted oiv a shaft with ball bearings and run in opposite They are curiously grooved in the Interior, and the grooves are fllleil with shot. Mr. Rogers ha another set of wheels In which mercury is used In the Interior blots.

The fehot In one cate and the mercury In the other by petition as the wheels revolve constitute the power. Mr. Rogers is sanguine that he has discovered a way of "keeping things going forever," and Is spending a great deal of his time explaining his invention to skeptics and defending himself from as he calls them, who, he bays, are trying to steal his invention. He is known, however, to have sold a tenth interest In hi discovery to Buffalo parties for a sum said to be JIO.OjO, though he says it Is much more. "I get letters offering J10.O01).

for one-tenth interest in my machine," he says. "One man wanted to know how much I would take to destroy my machine and keep It secret forever. 1 was offered by a Arm of jewelers for machines to run their clocks. "A newspaper wrote to me saying that it was their business to expose perpetual motion fakes and that they had had a good many letters asking them to investigate my machine. They wrote to me later and offered me my own price on a working model to be sent to them, 1 didn't pay any attention to them, but they can now have a model for "Some people In Xew York wrote offering me $35,000.

I answered them that I would take J.W.OOO, and a. little while later two men camo up from Xew York. One said to me: 'You wouldn't take I said: 'I hadn't thought about it for a he replied, 'we have decided to give you the $500,000. Of course we would have to form a stock company, and we couldn't do that without seeing what we 'I suppose by said 'you mean that I'm to open up what I've got and show it to He said: I told him I'd do that on condition that he deposit the $300,000 in bank to my order sind I would give him a contract to carry out my part of the agreement. He went away and I haven't seen him since." Mr.

Rogers has applied for patents in this country as well as in foreign countries.
