WARNING TO PROsPECTORs,
Difficulties OF Transportation Again
Pointed Out.

San Francisco, July 28--The Alaska
Commercial company's ship Bertha ar
rived from Unalaska yesterday with
800 tons Of concentrates from the Apollo
mine at Unga and bar of bullion from
the same source, but brought no gold
from the Klondyke region. Captain
Hays, of that vessel, speaking of the
klondyke boom, said:
The fact that the new gold fields
are 1000 miles from St. Michaels, and
that the difficulties Of transportation
are innunerable, cannot be too forcibly
Impressed upon intending prospectors
The newspapers will be responsible for
the loss of many lives and great deal
or suffering and hardship If they do not
strongly advise the public that the
River Yukon now that the mountain
torrents have ceased running, is very
low, and consequently much Of the
5000 tons of supplies now awaiting
transportation cannot possibly be con
veyed - their destination for some
time"
The Measrs Sloss, Of the Alaska Com
mcrcial company, are equally frank
One Of the firm said;
What "e most fear is that the ex-
element will cause many people to
rush northward without property con
sidering how they are to live through
the winter after they got there. We
have now about 1000 tons of provisions
on the Yukon. and We are sending
larr" additional quantities, but we are
not able to ray whether the supply

comrade in arms.
After the exercises at the monument
| there was grand parade and review
over 1000 men being in line. The sur
vivors of General Logans old regiment,
the Twenty-frst Illinois volunteers, led
the van, proudly bearing the old regi-
mental flag, tattered and torn by 200
Confederate bullets. Then came the
grizzled veterans of the C. A. r., with
bare heads, in honor of the first and
idolized commander in chief With the
veterans marched the ex-Confederates,
200 strong The pageant on land was
supplemented by the finest marine dis
play ever seen on Lake Michigan.
An incident of the paraae that caused
much comment was the disagreeable
reception accorded to Governor Tan
ner. of Illinois, at frequent points along
the line Of march. In more than q
dozen places he was Kissed loudly.
Cheers were given him. too, and in
front of the reviewing stand on Michi-
gan avenue a flattering greeting was
given him, but at other places, notably
at jackson boulevard and La Sale
street, he was met with storm of
Kisses.
Quite number of people tainted in
the crush on the streets while viewing
the parade. The majority of them were
women, but only three cases are serious
and they are men. James Jepson and
Edward Hunt, both elderly men, and

Shortly after o'clock last evening
Mrs. Logan and her party left the
Auditorium annex for the Coliseum.
An immense thronS had gathered TO
witness, In the Coliseum gardens, the
fireworks, which were on a par with
the lavish and beautiful displays shown
at intervals during the Worlds fair.
AT the conclusion of the spectacle the
crowd turned to the Coliseum, where
for over an hour Mrs. Logan, Secretary
and Mrs. Alger and Sculptor st. Gau-
dens received the thousands who press
ed into the building.
The statue Of General Logan, which
was designed by st. Gaudens, is the
largest equestrian statue in America.
The figure OF General Logan, as 1t
stands on its granite pedestal, is dress-
ed in the uniform of a major general.
He sits erect and bareheaded, with his
left hand grasping the bride rein. With
his right hand he bears aloft the flag.
The endeavor OF the sculptor was to
reproduce as nearly as possible the
scene presented as Logan rallied the,
troops before Atlanta after General
McPhersons death. From the base to
the top Of the horses withers is II feet
inches, and to the top of Logan's
head is Is feet II inches. The entire
expense of erection and unveiling was
$50 900. Of which the state appropriated
$50 900.

wellington continues to improve slow

appears to be absolutely no foundation
In fact for the many alarming rumors
concerning his condition. His trouble
is congestion of the lungs and Is by
no means recent. For several years he
has suffered from occasional hemor-

about his patient having consumption,

Geographic request, General A. W.
Greedy. the Arctic explorer, has sent
from Linden, Va, the following signed
statement regarding the Andree ex-
petition: 1T is possible that Andree
may have reached the North Pole OF its
vicinity. Telesraphic reports, as far as
l have seen, state that he started with
a south wind of 20 miles an hour. The
chances of such a wind blowing 900
miles straight to the North Pole are
however, very small. While l believe
that Andree will never return, yet ex-
perience teaches us that miraculous

Thus far the efforts of Eugene V. Debs,
the labor agitator, have failed to get tho
Virginia miners to strike. The result will
DO that the Virginia coal operators will
reap the benefits of the strike Of the Penn
sylvania miners, which will, like chickens,
come home to roost. The men, If possible,
should have their labor differences settled
by arbitration. Strikes never benefited
the workingman in the United States, and
never will. Labor has rights that capital
should respect, but coercion never gained
lasting victory, and we are beginning to
think it never will.
