Series of Disasters on the Far Nor

Port Townsend, August 1.-THE Mas
Brothers returned today from Yukon
River, with advices to July 1.-Captain
Lyon, who was going down the Yukon
river to take command of the steamer
P. w. Wear, and four others, were
capsized and drowned at Five Fingers
rapids. Sixty pounds of mail was also
lost.
The steamer Arctic, which was used
as a freight tender on the upper Yukon,
was caught in gale sixty miles from
st. Nicholas Island and badly damaged.
There is no other available vessel to
take supplies to the miners in the Up
per Yukon river There are HOO min
ers there, and If relief is not sent at
once, it is feared much suffering will
ersue. Missions and trading stations
along the lower Yukon river were great
ly damaged last year by the extreme
higll water. The natives lost most OF
theft winters food, and were reduced
70 starvation Much anxiety is felt
for, the safety of the steamer Albion
which left Puget Sound for st. Nicholas
Island early in June with, supplies for
Yukon miners.

tee, when Senator Pettigrew stated
there was no need of discussing the

in view of the fact that the session was
so near at an end, that it is impracti-
cable to attempt to pass any contested
legislation during the remainder of the
session, and that it is the duty of con-
gress to adjourn as soon as possible.
1t is probable that If vote can be had
upon this resolution, it would secure
enough Democratic votes to pass. The
Republicans claim that any separate
bill to which there is an objection viii
be debated until it is defeated by lack
of a quorum, and 1t is useless to make
any attempt to secure passage of any
of those now before the house. The
Republican senators expressed the opin-
ion that the Murphy resolution amend
ed as they are willing to accept it, will
pass by a majority Of ten or fifteen.
The resolution will probably be amend
ed so as to strike out all reference to-
Secretary Carlisle's letter.

Omaha, August 1.-THE Union Pa
ciHc Federated board is arranging to
have Recover Mcneil, of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company
called before the federal court for taxi
ing steps to reduce the wages Of the
employees, This action was great sur
prise to the chairmen of the various
bodies of railroad men in the west.
When the Oregon line was part OF the
Union Pacific system, the employees
were included in the order Of Judges
Caldwell and Sanborn, that the old
wage schedule should stand. and that
no further reductions should be made
or no other schedules, rules or regula-
tions should be put in force without
further orders from the court. The
first thing the chairman will ascertain
is If Mcneil has been given authority
by the court TO submit a new schedule.
II not, the men claim he win be in con-
tempt.

to be overlooked that the effect Of the

Charlie Fair Wants His Share of His
Deceased Brothers Estate.

San Francisco, August 17-Charles L.
Fair, surviving son of ex-senator Jas.
C. Fair, began another effort in the
probate departement of the superior
court today to secure a million dollars
of his mothers estate, the amount being
the aggregate legacies Of his deceased
brother James, and himself Mrs. Fair
left $50O,000 to each of her sons, James
to reseive his at 35, and Charles when
so years old. 1t was provided in case
either son died before attaining the
age, without wife or lawful children,
his share was to revert to his brother.
James Fair died two years ago when
he was 30.. Charles claimed his legacy,
but both the superior and supreme
courts decided that Charles must wait
for James legacy until such time as
the latter would have been So. Since
that decision, Charles has married, and
he claims the ceremony altered the
case emitting him to immediate possess
sion of both legacies. Mrs. Herman
Oelrlchs is now entitled to her share,
amounting to a million and half.

BIG CHINA LOAN.
England VIII Probably Furnish the
Coin for the Celestials.

London, August 17-Flnanciers of this
city, Berlin and other capitals of Eu-
rope are eagerly discussing the proposed.
Chinese loan. Inquiries made by re-
por:er of the Associated Press at the
office of Jardine, Matheson & Co.. Lon
don and Chinese merchants, and at
the offices of the Hong Kong and
Shanghai Banking Co., show that the
loan which the banking institutions OF
Berlin are said to be floating for China,
amounts to 100000 taels. A tael is
said to be worth about one ounce and
one-third Of silver ore, roughly speak
ing, six shillings sterling, or $1.4O.
A syndicate of German bankers was
recently formed in Berlin, and their
agents at Tien Tsin were instructed to
ask Viceroy Lii Hung Chang for an
option on loan. Dozens Of London and
other promoters followed the example
OF the German bankers. and Ii Hung
Chang and the Chinese minister here
were besieged with offers from respon-
sible and irresponsible parties, all an
xious to get share of some description
in the Chinese loan. As a result 1t is
probable that over 100000 pounds was
offered to China, and this produced the
result that China was not inclined to
pay over per cent for her loan There
is no dougt that 100000 pounds Of
gold will be issued here early in Sep
tember. The loan will probably con-
sist of per cent 30 year bonds and at
least two-thirds Of this VIII be payable
to China in silver. For this loan there
is no special security like the customs
receipts, but only a general faith In
China. There is a great scramble
among financiers, including London
brokers Of all ranks. to get on the in
side Of the operation. Negotiations for
the loan have already affected the
price Of silver, and there is no question
that silver will go higher. Some finan-
eiers predict that It viii go as high as
s2p per ounce. The hardest Of the sill
yer market is more pronounced, and It
has sympatheticaily hardened the price
Of copper.
