The traffic Is so great that temporary
hunks were fitted up in the forward part
OF the Queen and on the main deck. A
notable circumstances IN connection with
the excitement is the fact that while
Seattle has been in frenzy for nearly a
week, Tacomans have been rather indif-
ferent. with few exceptions, until last
night. when the Queen arrived and the
continuous stream OF humanity began 10

transportation of tons of supplies Tor the

about the end of August These men are
the representatives of the employees CT the
Palace Hotel, and every servant in that
caravansary expects to become indepen-
dent for life through their efforts.
Vessels with light draught are rapidly
changing hands. Yesterday an English
syndicate purchased the gasoline schooner
Chetco from ]. S. Kimball IL Co., for $S00O
L. 81. Griffith, who acted for the syndi-
cate. says the schooner will get away for
Yukon about the 1st Of next month. The
sale was consummated about noon yester-
day, and two hours later gang of men
were at work getting the vessel ready for
the trip to Alaska. The proposition is to
carry years supply OF provisions to st.
Michaels for fifty people, and at that
point put the goods into lighter that will
be built, and then the steamer will tow
the lighters up the river.
Another vessel that is to change hands
IS the gasoline schooner Hettie B. Her
gasoline machinery is to be taken out and
steam engine put in. The little boat
can accom- modate from fifteen to twenty
miners, and will have no difficulty in get
| ting up the Yukon, and whenever neces-
sary all hands will be sent ashore to
| gather wood for fuel. The Hettie B was
at one time employed in the excursion
trade between San Diego and the Catalina
Islands, but the venture was not fnan-
cial success, so the vessel was sent to San
| Francisco. For some months she has
been laid UP. but now she is coming out
of retirement, and will make a start for
the new gold fields the first week In Au-
gust.
The steam schooner Noyo has been
chartered for trip to Juneau, and at least
200 miners will leave to-day and Sunday
| for that point on the steamers Umatllla
and Cleveland. Ali are brim full of conf
dence, and not one but expects to bring
| back $50 OOO next July.

"Klondyke or Bust" is blazoned on
many banner They're going, and it
looks as if there might be jam in Chill

men cry, "Try not the pass. Wait until
next spring anyway" Two or three days
ago the question was, "Shall L not gof'
but now it is more than ever, "How can L
get thereP" It's like the rush for the
cable-cars at the park at P. NJ. on Sun
days.
All sorts OF enterprises are now develop
ing. especially in the line OF transporta-
ton. Two gasoline scnooners were CHAR
tered yesterday here, and they are being
fitted out with the speed Of the man who
wakes up late twelve minutes before the
train starts.
There is nothing left but Juneau and

by the Yukon River route the two COM
mercial companies would take them.
Men crowd to the Office of the Alaska
Commercial Company and many offer
tears and three fares for ticket 10 Daw-
son. but the Excelsior takes no more on
the 2Sth, and this company will sell no
more berths. Ticket-scalpers missed a
great chance here, for men are offering
high premiums for Excelsior tickets.
The Northwestern Transportation and
Trading Company, which rms only from
Seattle to st. Michaels and up the river,
filed its book for the Portland days ago,
and the extra steamer, the Cleveland,
chartered tere. has full passenger list
waiting for her on the sound.
There is a chance to get to Juneau, but
everything is getting crowded. The pas
senger lists of the regular tive-day
steamers of the Pacific Coast Steamship p
Company are being filled well in advance
The extra steamer from Portland will be
filled. There are various special enter
prises and they increase every day.
Pacific Coast agents of Eastern railways
are receiving queries about Transports
ton to Alaska constantly.
Many who intended going are deciding
to wait until spring as wisdom dictates,
with untold hardships and a possible
famine ahead of a great many who &C
now. By next year there will be all sort,
of new routes and new transportation
facilities developed. There will certainly
be new com petition and more steamer:

thing.
Should new diggings be found this yea
to accelerate the rush next spring there
will be great development of the YuAor
region, facilities for living there and way'
of getting there next year.

BUSINESS IN POLITICS,
Ohio Business Men Awakened to the
Importance of Republican Success,

Ohio Business Men Awakened to the
Importance of Republican Success,
Over-the-rlver business men are re-
ceiving letters from the Business Mems
Republican League OF Columbus, ask
ing them to organize in the interest of
sound currency and for the ticket that
will contribute to their own welfare.
A portion of one OF these letters ap-
pears below and is worth reading:
Without dllating upon the cause OF
the panic OF 1893, we beg to suggest
that from that panic the business OF
the country found no marked relief I'M
I'll the people In 1896 decided against all
doubtful monetary experiments and
the pernlcious doctrines enunciated by
the so-called Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago last year and re-
lterated by the Democracy of Ohio this
year.
The immediate results OF the election
OF 1896 were a restoration OF confidence
in the monetary system of the coun-
try, an Improvement in business among
our own people and in our trade with
other nations, a cessation Of the out
fiow OF gold, the addition to the chan
neIs OF business of millions OF dollars,
which Curing the period OF distrust
had been withdrawn from circulation,
lower rates Of interest, higher prices,
larger sales for farm and manufactured
products. better feeling among business
men, larger employment of labor and
universal tendency toward the old
time prosperity which prevailed in this
country prior to 1893
AS the business men, farmers and
manufacturers OF the country are now
making gratifying progress on the high
way to prosperity, we beg to suggest
that 1t would be unwise to obstruct
their movement toward the desired end
or to hazard all they have gained and
may reasonably hope to attain. by the
adoption OF new and doubtful schemes.
and the selection OF leaders who have
hitherto led us to disaster, lacking in
notable degree that business expert
ence which would qualify them for the
control OF the affairs OF great ma
ton.
We beg to suggest, therefore, that It
would be well for us in this political
contest TO stand together IN support OF
national administration which is N
finitely superior to any the country
would be likely to obtain from the mis-
celalneous collection of indictments
now arraytng against us. In brief, the
country is doing well and has before
It the assurances OF more prosperous
period. Shall we, then. jeopardize what
we have and what we have abundant
reason TO hope for, by falling to sus-
tain by our influence and votes the pres
ent administration and its recognized
friends?
We take the liberty Of urging business
men and all others interested in the
maintenance OF good business condi-
lions to make all honest efforts posi-
BILE to uphold the hands Of President
Mckinley and thus assure n continu-
ance of that good feeling, high credit
and confidence in the stability Of Amer
lean institutions Indispensable to gen.
eral prosperity.

I'll recently he has been employed In
Pittsburgh as conductor on one of the
electric car lines, but not long ago re-
turned to this city and has not been en-
gagged In work of any kind, Yesterday
he worked himself into peck of trouble,
and this morning he eyes the beautiful
Indian summer landscape through the
bars at the county jail and meditates
upon the uncertainty of earning a liveli-
hood via the forgery route.
Campbell entered the produce store OF
Counahan Brathers, 1918 Main street,
and succeeded In getting a check for $40
cashed. The check was drawn on the
National Bank of West Virginia, Octo-
her II, 1897, by D. NJ, Campbell in favor
of James b. Campbeii-that is II was
signed by d. NJ. Campbell so far as APP
pearanees went, but later II was found

Later, Campbell went to John Gress-
ner's place, on the upper Market square,
and attempted to cash check ostensl-
bly, drawn by d. NJ. Campbell, for 81 90
on the Dollar Savings Bank, and dated
October II, 1897. Gressner declined TO
take the check, whereupon Campbell Of
fered to take 81, and then 81. Seeing he
couldn't do business with Gressner, he
turned to a bystander and showing a
lot of bad" checks, proposed that they
so into partnership, cash the checks at
once, and take a trip south.
officer Walker, of the city police, was
Informed of the incident and lost no time
in taking Campbell in tow and hauling
him to police headquarters. on his per-
