New York, Dec. e3.-At the dinner Of
the New England society here last night
Senator Wolcott, OF Colorado. was the
principal speaker. He began with a
humorous reference TO the resignation
with which the exiles from New Eng
land bore their banishment, and then
spoke OF an alleged desire Of the Can
adian government to acquire the state
Of Maine and portions Of New Hamp-
shire and Vermont in exchange for ter
r!tory in western Canada. Serious
Thought on the subject of a possible
cess!on OF a part Of New England
brought "a realization Of what it would
mean to this people to face the possi-
bility OF changing by the shadow Of

parties would divide solely on national

came. The parties met on a broad

FOOD FAMINE IMINENT.

SEATTLE, Ocs. 2.-The steamer Far
 alone arrived here this morning from
 Sksguay, Alaska, with one hundred re-
 turning prospactors, among whom are Louis Lsng, direct from Dawson City !,
 which he left August 26th, coming out
 on the Dalton trail. He stopped at
 Juneau. Ia an interview with sn as- [ sociated press correspondent Lang
 said: "When left Dawson the stores
 had stopped selling supplies and res-
 ssurants were closed, because they
 could get nothing to cook. Ib is be- lieved provisions will be scarce, sl-
 though many miners are leaving. My three hundred will come oue over the Dalton trail within the next few weeks, while great many others are going
 down by Si. Miohsls. To was a great
 mistake of the trading companies to
 bring so much whiskey up the river instsad of supplies. Before we left Dawson nina cattle beef were driven in and four butehered. Choice cuts brought S1.5o per pound, while a soup bone was worth fifty cents. I pad $1 and SIPS ipound for elk meat. As I wanted to get out as quickly as possible entire pack of each man, blankets and all, weighed about sixty pounds. We came up, ,the;riveF to Five Fingers and then out over the Dalton trail. We crossed the Summia on Sept. 21sb in a snow storm and had Indian guides to show us sheiway. We had sAn. wade kuee deep in snow. We mes t snssa party twenty miles this side of She Sum- nit with cattle and it seemed doubtful whether they would get in. It took just twenty-sevsn dsysI to get down to side wster.'
