suEFERlnGs OF GOLD SEEKERS.
Coming of Winter Forces MANY 70
Abandon the Trails.

Abandon the 1IaAASs
There is terrible suffering on the SKA
pnay and Dyea trails in consequence Oh
winters setting in. The ralnstorm tnat
prevailed there last week was extremely
severe upon the gold seekers, VINO were
scattered along the way. Inc stoiins
have DESTROYED their provisions and many
are left with scarcely enough dry 1000 TOT
another meal and without money 10 re-
turn home. Passengers who arrived III
Tacoma on the City of Seattle SUNDAY
morning estimate that there are from ooo
TO 1000 men on the two trails who nave
not the means to purchase tickets PACK
to Puget sound. Their statements are
corroborated by letters received by the
same steamer A small number OF these
men may find work at Skaguay, but FOR
the great majority there will be nothing
to do for months. Many Of them are poor
ly equipped to stand the weather even
now prevailing, which ranges from con-
slant rain on the coast to ice and snow on
the summit.
Skaguay river is a raging stream no
longer fordable, and wherever there is any
soil, the mud is now knee deep. Men who
returned to Skaguay just before the storm
found many Of their fellows who broke
down and wept as they related the story
of their misfortunes. An old man named
Henshaw and his son had large outht
two-thirds of the way over Lake Bennett,
when their five horses were poisoned by
wild parsnips on the meadows beyond the
summit of Skaguay trail and died. Hen
shaw had but few dollars left, and could
neither buy more horses nor pack his out
fit to the lake. Early last week the two
were in despair, and the storm which fol-
lowed spoiled their provisions, besides
leaving them blockaded. The difficult sit
uation Of those at Dyea and Skaguay is
emphasized by the fact that those who
had enough money to buy passage home
on the City of Seattle consider themselves
very lucky, even though they have lost
5000 to $500 each and forty to sixty days
work.
An immense quantity of provisions has
been destroyed by the storms. The men
who arrived home say that flour, bacon,
beans, apples and dried fruits may be seen
scattered along both trails between the
coast and the summit. Two men from
California worked hard packing their out
fits over, but at the end of six weeks they
gave up on the summit. The rain had
already destroyed part Of their provisions.
OF two dozen men who engaged in the
packing business on the Skaguay trail
only George L. Rice made any money. He
was there when the rush began and is
now running two saloons and gambling
places at the summit and at Skaguay.
Two men have succeeded in running ca
bles across the Skaguay river where the
bridge was washed out. They are making
$40 day ferrying people across.

A P1ucky Woman.

The announcement that the widow Of
DR.. Rial, the massacred leader Of the
Philippine revolt, was in Philadelphia ar
ranging a filibustering expedition, created
widespread interest among Cuban pa
triots. General Emilio Nunez, when seen
few hours after he arrived in the city,
after leading a successful flibustering ex-
petition to Cuba, spoke enthusiastically
Of the courageous woman who plans syS-
tematic patriotic support with desire for
revenge of her husbands death. General
Nunez said: CDR. Rial was wonderful
man, with great intellectual ability, COM
bined with the highest courage and pa
triotism. He was the life and soul of the
Philippine revolution. Its inception was
his work and the active campaign was
under his immediate direction. Grave
mistakes were made at first from mis-
taken idea that the Spaniards could be
met in pitched open battle. Advices were
sent from Cuba upon guerrilla warfare,
and they are now in a fair way to win
their struggle"

FAR WORSE THAN SLAVES.
Mine Operator Dev1in Sides with the
Illinois Miners.


Charles j. Devlin, one Of the largest
coal mine operators in the United States,
says he will not countenance further
reduction in the wages of Illinois miners.
Mr.. Devlin claims to have reliable In
forma ton that Illinois operators will en-
deavor to reduce the scale below the Co
lumbus agreement Says Mr.. Devlin:
1.-THE miners Of Illinois should get price
equal to the Columbus scale. The price
which they were forced to accept last
May and which they refused to continue
work on is not enough to keep body ana
soul together. The average miner WITH
steady work can not earn more than 81
per day the year around. Slavery for the
miners would be preferable to the wages
they were getting, for in slavery they
would get enough to eat and drink ana
wear, while under present conditions and
prices they are forced to work for they
can not buy provisions enough. let alone
clothe themselves and families. Since
they came out the prices OF provisions
have advanced. particularly flour. to not
less than 81 per 100" Mr.. Devlin says
the cause of the miners is just one.

BANDITS ROB A TRAIN.
Hold Up Northern Pacific Passenger
Crew in Minnesota.

Crew in Minnesota.
The Northern Pacific passenger from
the east was held up and robbed at 2
o'clock Sunday morning about three miles
east of Moorhead, MINI. The engine and
mail car came in alone and the engineer
reported that he had been compelled to
leave the rest of the train.
The robbery was the coolest piece Of
criminal work in the history of the val
ley. Engineer Hooker, just after pulling
out of Glyndon, noticed a masked man on
the front platform of the mail car A few
moments later the man climbed over the
tender of the engine under cover of two
revolvers. He compelled the engineer to
stop the train, threatening to shoot if he
refused.
Several minutes afterward three other
masked men came to the front end OF the
train with Conductor Corcoran and a
brakeman. All were compelled to mount
the engine and Engineer Hooker was or
dered to open the throttle.
The men with reviewers sat on the end
of the tender and with the weapons lev
eled urged the engineer to increase the
speed. Not until the train reached Moor
head was it known to the crew that the
engine and mail car had been cut off from
the other section of the train. The hold
up was not profitable to the robbers. They
had evidently intended to take the ex-
press car, but did not cut deep enough
in the train. When stop was made to
secure the plumber the leader of the gang
discovered the mistake, and finding that
they had left the express car behind, the
robbers ordered the mail men out Of the
car and went through the mail.

Violated the Paris Awards.

The publication by the British Govern
ment of the blue book on the fur seal
conference has greatly annoyed the State
Department at Washington because,
while Mr.. Chamberlain's dispatch in an
swer to Mr.. Sherman's celebrated dis
patch of May 10 is given publicity, the
department up to this time has not re-
ceiyed a copy of this dispatch, and does
not seem to know of it's existence except
through the newspapers. 1nasmuch as
the British press has so freely criticised
what it has been pleased to call shirt
sleeve diplomacy" and has read the State
Department many homily on the neces-
sity of observing diplomatic proprietles,
the department thinks it curious, to say
the least, that dispatch should be made
public before it has been received by the
government to which it is addressed. But
this is not the least curious thing about
this diplomatic episode. In the first place,
it is unusual, not to say irregular, that
dispatch addressed by the State Depart
ment to the foreign office the only me-
dunn Of communication between the two
governments should be answered by the
colonial office. State Department officials
understand why Lord Salisbury has not
replied to Mr.. Sherman's dispatch. Some
time ago New York paper gave what
purported to be the text of that dispatch,
but which were really merely the con-
illusions from recital of the facts. These
facts show conclusively that Great Brit
ain has persstently and willfully violated
the spirit and intent of the Paris award,
and constitute the strongest Indictment
ever drawn by one nation against an
other. This is the reason, Washington
correspondent says, why Lord Salisbury
has never answered except "by anticipa-
ton" Mr.. Sherman's dispatch.

Crew of Lost Wha1er Brought Back
from Japan.
The American schooner Progress ar
rived at Port Townsend, Wash, thirty
two days from Yokohama, having on
board nine members of the crew of the
American whaler bark Cape Horn Pigeon,
which was wrecked on a rocky coast eigh-
teen miles from Hakodate the night of
July Is. The Cape Horn Pigeon, Cap
tain Scullion, left San Francisco early in
the season for a whaling voyage in Japa-
nese waters. The first part of the season
was successful, and when the bark was
wrecked she had 1000 barrels of sperm
oil and lot Of whalebone in her hold.
Her officers and crew escaped in small
boats, with no effects save the clothes
on their backs.
