Equal Rush to Klondyke.

VICTORIA, B. C. Feb. 24-(Spec-

ial)-Vancouver Island will sec a stampede this summer unequalled since the Kfondyke gold rush.

On Beach Sands of Wreck Bay~at

Sydney Inlet, on the west coast a bank of sand twelve feet high has been found rich in gold.

I Walter Myles, an old time miner 'of Colorado and Yukon, has just liad numerous samples assayed and the results are sufficient to justify the wildest hopes of avarice.

The sands pan out five to fifteen

cents to the pan and the yield varies from $53.20 to $104.40 to the ton.

eral Sii'oessel}'displayed great excite-

sentence of death was -pronounced up- ment andseveral women tainted. It on General Stoessel "For surrender-lllumell Out. IIOWBVGF. that this WHS ing the fortress before all the means merely a guard for the disposal oi-

oi defense had been exhausted, for failing to enforce his authority, and for military misdemeanors."

Commutation of the sen'tence was

asked on the grounds that Port Ar- thur, beset by overwhelming forces, defended itself under Gen. Stoessel’s leadership with unexampled stubborn- ness_aud filled the world with aston- ishment at the heroic courage ol its garrison, that several assaults had been repulsed with tremendous losses on the part of the enemy, that Gen- eral Btoessel throughout the siege hadmnintained the heroic courage of the defenders, and finally, that he had , taken energetic part in three campaigns. ‘ '

Before the sentence was read meas- ures were taken to prevent ii rciiiou- stration in favor of Stoessel, by a number of the young officers _ sud witnesses who were present. GENERAL sromssan was

THE SOUL OF DEFENCE. _

These later sent a despatch to tne

emperor saying that they woulil hum- bly bear testimony that Stoissel was the soul of the defence of Port Arthur, that he always encouraged andput heart into the garrison to the best of his endeavors, an-l that in case ofwvar they would vfish to serve again under such a hero. They asked the cmgress graciously to be- speak from the emperor a full par- don.

There was a dramatic moment af-

ter the reading oi the sentence, when a detachment of soldiers filed into the hall. ' The espectators, thinking that they were about to seize Gen-

the court.

FRIENDS KISSED HIM

General Stoessel who was accom- panied by his_son, was the object ol» a sympathetic demonstration. Friends kissed him and shook hands with him as he left the court, leaning on his son's shoulder. A public festival is being organized by the municipality of St. Petersburg in favor of the de- fenders of the fortress.

PORT ARTHUIVS SURRENDER

WAS PREMATURE.

The sentence of General Stoessel is

regarded by military officers as the logical consequence both of the sur- render oi Port Arthur and of Rus- sian military discipline. The con- census of opinion is that Port .Ar- thur was surrendered permaturely. The considerations which entc.e<i in- to the military probl-sm which Gen- eral Btoesselhad to face are sum- moned up here as embracing a cl;cice between standing out to the last ditch and in that way keeping the besieging army engaged and not free

.to strike at another point and sur-

rendering because the ultimate re-

isult was apparently hopeless; The

American articles of war prescribe death as the penalty for exactly such conduct. Such a sentence, however, has' never been carried out in 'this country although it was imposed in the case of General William Hull,who surrendered Detroit in the war of 1812. General Hull was subsequent-

ily cashiered in lieu og the sentence, because of his prevlou_ excellent re- |cord.
