CAPTAIN RAY.

ing them, so all disputes are settled by miners meetings. He suggests court be established at the capital, the ap- pointment of commisSioner of mines to settle disputes as to title and the passage by congress of a code of laws for the territory. He recommends that the government construct a strong riv- CT steamer of 150 tons to use for the re- lief of people in distress.
 Ell Gage. whs has just arrived from Dawson repo1s. that the supplies and stores at that place were very low. and nothing had been delivered there by ei- ther company since August except one bargeload of liquor and boots In a supplemental report Captain Ray notes the arrival of the transportation com pany's steamer Weare with a cargo of 200 tons of provisions. The captain says she Is the last boat of the season. The other company expects more boats. When navigation closes, he says. there will be 500 tons of provisions at Fort Yukon, and he will do what he can to assist in forwarding supplies and to protect the caches from raids. There were 130 people at Fort Yukon and much dissatisfaction among them over the failure of the transportation com- pany to forward them to their destina- tion.
 Writing on the 16th, Captain Ray says: There have been many threats and some show of arms today. but be- lieve it will be settled without violence, as Eli Weare has just arrived and made favorable concessions. There are sew eral people -here without food or money. I understand the steamers will carry the most of them to St. Michaels. but this element will become a serious fac tor after navigation closes and they continue to come down the river.

CAUSED BY DYNAMITE.
President Depew's Startling Theory of
 the Wreck at Garrisons.


 the Wreck at Garrisons.
 New York, Oct. 27.-Only less startling than the direful news of the disaster on the New York Central road at Garri- sons was the statement made by Chaun- cey M. Depew last night that the so called accident was no accident at all, but the direct result of a malignant crime.
 It was no landslide, said Dr. Depew after he and his experts had examined the locomotive. dragged by ponderous derricks from It's bed of mud. It was no sloughing of a bit of rotten road bed that caused this terrible calamity.
 It was the direct result of an explo- slon of dynamite, placed on the track solely to send a train to destruction and it's inmates to sudden death.
 Coming with the weight of President Depew's name and reputation. this sta tement will be received with respect and most thoroughly investigated.
 Tt is very singular" Dr. Depew said, 'but I am informed by one of our de- tectives that Chief Humphreys has al- ready received positive information tending to make good my assertion. backed by the physical evidence, that this break was made by dynamite. He Is working hard on the information giv- en, and I am assured he Is on the road to information which will throw a great deal of light on the subject. The road has been blown up. That Is a certain ty. and our detectives have definite and positive clews to work on."
 In this connection 1t is worthy of re- membrance that the express car of the i'll fated train had si00.000 worth of money and jewels in its safe. There was rumor that large part of this treas ure was gold from the Klondike on it's way to the treasure vaults In this city. If this be true, it is possible some west ern desperadoes had matched out plan of robbery after wrecking the train.

CAPT. RAYS REPORT.
WENT TO ALASKA TO ESTABLISH
 MILITARY POSTS.
Preparations For the Relief of Stranded Gold Hunters Along the Yukon-short- age In ProvisIons at Dawson City-oni- ciaI Report to Secretary AIgcr.

age In Provisions at Dawson CIty-oni- ciaI Report to Secretary Alger.
 Washing ton, Oct--26.-The war de- pertinent has received a report from Captain Ray of the condition of affairs in the gold region as lac found them from St. Michaels to Fort Yukon. He has selected point for a military post near Rapid City, about 25O miles below Dawson. Colonel Randall, who was sent out to establish a post at St. Michaels, has reported by telegraph to Secretary Alger his arrival there on Oct. 8. He says: The detachment ar rived here yesterday morning. Supplies were landed in good condition. There are about 1S0 people on the island. Good order prevails"
 Captain Ray makes some interesting statements in his report to illustrate the condition of affairs among the gold seekers, and because. his reports are strictly official they are entitled to weight. He favors the enlistment of 20 Indian scouts, who, he says, would be valuable as guides, boatmen and hunt CTS and would secure the friendship of the natives.
 Of the settlements within the terri tory, but few can be called permanent,
 
 changes. Several settlements have al- ready passed away when new mines were discovered. Rampant City had a population of about $50 on the 7th of September. The city of Weare was rep- resented by four spruce logs crossed for a foundation for a cabin. The captain says it is central location and prac- tically the head of navigation for river boats drawing more than five feet of water. Forty Mile Creek and Birch Creek were abandoned when gold was discovered on the Klondike.
 Speaking of mining operations, he says the dense growth of forest and moss makes prospecting and develop ment slow. Miners agree to having dis covered valuable lodes of low grade ore, but the present high price of provisions bars the working of placers or ledges that do not pay more than an ounce a man per day. Up to the time the boats failed to pass the bar at Fort Yukon he estimates that from the boundary to the sea there were about 1900 people, not including those strand ed at St. Michaels.
 New Routes to KIondIke.
 Captain Ray discusses several new routes and says he Is reliably informed that from Cook inlet via the head of Copper river will be the shortest and most practicable route for railroad com munication with the open sea.
 Up to the present time the laws in the country have not been enforced, nor does there exist any means for enforc-
