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.

»
Particulars Concerning The Famous
Court Martial That Condemned To
Death The D
elender At ‘ 
Portr Arthur _
s'r. PETERSBURG” Feb. 23"-*rue
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.
