ALASKA VESSELS
Growing Anxiety for the Safety
of the Lakme and the
Utopia.
Stranded Miners at Juneau in Desper
ate Straits-Seal Hunters Picked
Up at Sea.

SEATTLE, WASH, April %. - The
steamships Al-Ki and Willapa arrived in
port this morning, bringing the latest
Alaska advices, but which contain not a
word OF news concerning any of the Cooks
Inlet expeditions that sailed from the port
of Seattle. The Utopia is three days
overdue. Leaving sitka on April 9, it was
expected to land passengers and freight
without the aid of lighters at the inlet,
and to make the run directly back. reach
ing this port on April 25.
Definite information concerning the
Lakme and other vessels is expected to-
morrow upon the arrival of the steamer
Mexico.
Its agents say the Lakme should have
reached Sitka, for which port it cleared
by April 10 at the latest 1t was under
contract to deliver freight and passengers
at or near Six-mile Greek, 120 miles up
Cooks Inlet. The Lakme, at the time of
its departure on April o. expected to re-
turn to this port by May 1 or earlier.
ALI Yukon-bound miners are still en-
camped al Sheep Camp waiting for the
snow to melt in order to cross the divide.
Private letters received by those at Juneau
say there is already much suffering, as
many miners are running short of provi-
slons and that 'if the weather does not
change pretty soon we shall have to do
something desperate"
T. c. Healey, manager of the Yukon
Transportation Company, which had
charge of the British Y ukon mail that
was lost last winter, was passenger down
on the Al-Ki.
He says the mail has not yet been found,
but that it will probably be recovered with
the opening of spring.
Flfty-two men are under indictment and
being tried before Judge Delaney in the
Territorial Court at Juneau for selling
LIQUOR without license.
The Al-Ki had as passengers August
Peterson and an Indian seal hunter, who
were lost at sea from the schooner City of
San Diego, from Victoria, while off Mount
st. Elias. They were separated from the
vessel, being in canoe. when terrible
storm overlook them. For six day they
were tossed at the mercy of wind and
wave, having nothing to eat except raw
salt meat. On the morning of the seventh
day they were picked up, nearer dead than
alive, by the steamer Lacy and taken to
Juneau.

STANFORD NOT TO ENTER
Will Send No Team to Compete
in the Track Events at
San Francisco.
Individual Athletes Will Sport the
Cardinal in Several of the
Contests.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL,
April 2S.-Stanford will enter no team in
the Saturday track meet at San Francisco.
Such was the decision arrived at by the
management last evening. This was the
original idea, but a number of athletes,
who could spare the time, were anxious to
have the whole team entered, and so for
time the matter was left undecided. Now
it is settled. Track Manager Brown said:
"It would simply be impossible to enter
all the men next Saturday Several of
them have given up ali the time they can
afford to track athletics. We are willing
to train hard down here for three months
10 get team in shape to beat Berkeley,
but we can't spend extra time the whole
semester keeping in condition for all
coast track events. With us college work
is the chief thing and athletics is subor-
dinate to that. Our track season is practi-
cally closed here with the end of the inter
collegiate contest, as the football season
is closed with the great annual game"
When asked what chance Stanford
would have against Eastern college teams,
Captain Toom bs said: I'VE are not think
ing of an Eastern trip. Our team is good
enough to defeat Berkeley, but we don't
believe ourselves superior to the big col.
for some time to test our prowess When
Stanford does GO East her team will be as
good as the best; until then we stay at
home"
The only men who will enter next Sat-
urday from Stanford-and they will enter
as individuals-are Dole '98, in the pole
vault, Wilbur '99, in the shot put, Fickert
'98, in the hammer throw, and Toombs
'96, In the sprints. The rest of the ath-
letes with the execution of Reynolds
have gone out OF training. During the
Rose Carnival at San Jose several Stan
ford men will probably enter the races.
In the baseball contest Saturday, be-
tween Berkeley and Stanford, the cardinal
wearers anticipate another victory. The
game is to take place on the home diamond,
and as Pitcher McLaine has recovered
from his recent illness he is expected to
put up his odtime game from start to
finish. The entire team resumed practice
yesterday afternoon and will continue
training until the game comes off,

that in consequence surface water was be-

ing the facts, Superintendent Masters for
warded sample to Professor E. w. Hill
gard OF Berkeley University for analysis
and in reply received report of the
analysis. Commenting on the result, the
professor said:
1.-THE water contains large amount of
mineral matter. This is not of such char
acter as to affect at all it's value for domes-
tic use. 1t is remarkably free from all or
ganic contamination. As for the saline
ingredients, they are not such as to be
likely to interfere with any ones digestion !;
they are peculiar to the formation from
which the water is derived and nowise

OREGON FOR SILVER.
So says William r. o'Donnell, The
Independence Judge.

Independence Judge.
In the opinion Of Mr.. William r..
O'Dcnnell, well-known lawyer and
Republican leader of Independence.
Polk county, Bryan will carry Oregon
by large majority.
81 have been in nearly every county
in the state" said Mr.. O'Donnell.
''and find the feeling is very strong
against Mckinley and gold monome-
tallism, and equally strong in favor Of
Bryan and the free coinage of silver.
Voters generally seem to realize that
good times will return only when the
white metal is restored to its old posi-
tion, and they will therefore vote for
the election OF the Democratic candid
ate for the presidency. 1t is my belief
that Multnomah county,as well as the
outside counties will 90 for Bryan.
The strength of the silver sentiment
here can be fairly estimated from the
vote for congressman at the last elec-
tion. Judge Northup received the vote
of every gold Democrat and Republic
can In the county, and yet he be at
Quinn, the Populist candidate, by only
few votes. And this in the face of
the fact that the strength of the sill
yer men was divided between Quinn,
Bennett and Ellis. The combined
vote of these three candidates far ex-
ceeded that Of Northup, and will be
just about what Bryan will get against
Mckinley.
"To show the feeling in the outside
counties, l need only cite an incident
which occurred on the Oregon Central
train, bound from Yaquina to Albany,
last Saturday. There were O. pas
sengers on the train and all the oc-
cupants Of one coach were. discussing
the chances of Bryan and Mckinley
of securing the presidency. 1t was
finally decided to take vote of all
the passengers on the question, and
five tellers were appointed for that
purpose. They took the ballot of every
passenger, aud when they counted
them IL was found that Bryan had re-
celved 81 and Mckinley I. l may say
here that the passengers were neither
anarchists nor socialists, but respect
able, intelligent gentlemen returning
from a sojourn at the sea coast. They |
are only few of the many who will |
help to swell Bryan's majority in this
state"
Mr.. O'Donnell formerly practiced |
law in this city. He has been a life
long Republican, but this year he is a
