The Tsetse Fly Found Innocent.


1t used TO be believed that the tsetse fiy
disease, that plague of African travel, was
due to a poison natural to the tsetse fly,
as the acrid secretion of ants or hornets

English bacteriologists have been investi-

that the tsetse fly is the mere bearer of
the disease. The fly itself is the prey of

STEAMER MEXICO SUNK


san Francisco, Aug. IA special
from Victoria to the Chronicle SAYS:
For several days anxious inquiries
have been made regarding the Pacific
Coast steamer Mexico, which was
booked to leave tomorrow ON her second
trip to Dyea.
The steamer Topeka, which arrived
here this evening, reports that the
steamer Mexico, on August 3, while GO
Ing into Dixon entrance from Sitka dur
ing heavy fog at full speed. struck
West Devils rock. After two hours
the steamer sank in 500 feet OF water.
stern first.
The captain exhibited great coolness,
and, with the officers, did everything
that was possible.
The passengers and crew were saved,
with their hand baggage, in small boats.
After rowing till midnight, they ar.
rived at Metlakahtla.
The time the ship struck is believed
to be 4 in the morning.
The ship is total loss. The passen-
gers and crew are on the Topeka.
Captain Wallace and his officers
quietly waited their turn to be lowered
over the side into the boats. This was
performed without hitch, with splen-
did discipline.
Alter the passengers were safely off
the ship, the officers and crew turned
their attention to the hand baggage
which the passengers had in their cab
lns, and the treasure and valuables be-
longing to the steamer.
There was no time to attempt to save
anything slowed below decks, and as it
was, everything in the cabins was not
secured, though the captain and crew
stayed on the steamer until it was no
longer safe to do so.
They had not been away from her
many minutes when she made final
plunge and went down, stern first.
She struck on her starboard bilge keel
and gaping hole was torn in her side.
Only short time before, orders were
sent to the engineer to send her full
ahead, and, consequently, she went
right through the rocks.
Had she been an iron vessel, few
would have lived to tell of the accident
She would have gone down like rock.
At New Metlakahtla, where they had
to spend several days awaiting the ar
rival of the Topeka, news of the wreck
having been sent to her by the steamer
Al-Ki, the passengers and crew had
their wants attended to by Rev. Mr.
Duncan and his Indians.
OF the 775 passengers, 40 were tour
lists, who made the round trip, and 9TH
ers were coming south from different
Alaskan ports. Included in the latter
were naturalists who had spent the
summer in Western Alaska collecting
specimens for the Columbia museum
Their specimens, instruments and notes
went down with the steamer.

FIRST BLOOD SHED.
A Riot Almost Precipitated Among the
strikers.

HNI1hefS.
Pittsburg, Aug. l6 -Iniunctions bv
the court have put a stop to marches bv
the strikers against the New York 20
Cleveland Gas Coal Company, for a
time at least. But in the execution of
the injunction the sheriff and his dep-
utles narrowly escaped precipitating
serious trouble. As it was, the first
blood OF the strike was shed. Henry
Stewart, one of the sheriff's deputies
struck Jacob Mott, drummer of the
Mcdonald band. with the edge of a
brass horn, and cut severe cash above
his eye.
The sight of the blood wrought up
the 1000 idle miners to such a pitch
that desperate conflict was imminent.
The deputies also were excited and
noisy. The strikers were jeering and
yelling and urging further rush.
There were enough of the miners to
annihilate the deputies. Captain Bel
lingham, Sheriff Lowrey, Chief Deputy
James Richards and Superintendent
DeArmitt were the only cool men in
the assemblage. To them and to Cap
tain Bellingham belongs the credit OF
avoiding a riot.
When Bellingham saw there was
danger OF his men getting beyond his
control, he commanded halt and ad-
dressed himself to the task of restraining
the more belligerent. So well were his
efforts directed that he soon had re-
stored comparative ORDER
Sheriff Lowrey had difficult task to
perform, but he handled it well, and
by his coolness and good nature, did
much to neutralize the bitterness and
strife invited by his subordnates.
The strikers finally retired an / marched
back to their camp. There were sew
eral other brushes with the deputies,
but no actual collisions.
After the miners returned to camp,
the officers held a conference with
their attorney, and he advised them to
quit marching until the court had
heard the argument over bill in
equity brought by the New York G.
Cleveland Gas Coal Company, as it
might injure their case if they were
brought up for contempt before the
court.
President Dolan then issued orders
that no more marches should be made
to any of the New York & Cleveland
Company's mines until further orders,
though marches may be made at other
places.
There were no signs of trouble to-
night. The strikers remained within
their camp, and while the deputies
were on guard they had little to do. In
order to more thoroughly fortify his
position, Sheriff Lowrey swore in 20
additional deputies tonight, and dis
patched them to Plum creek.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins Il Company's Review
of Trade.

The short sellers of wheat have but
single argument left to support their
views. viz: The admitted fact that the
wheat crop of this country will be at
least 100, 200, 900 bushels larger than
that of last year. The current news
during the week has been extremely
bullish and developments have materi-
ally strengthened the position of spec
ulative buyers. Probably the most I'M
portant announcement was Beerbohm's s
estimate placing the European shortage
compared with last year at 224 ,000, 900
bushels. This has been emphasized
and confirmed by the active cash de-
mand and enormous sales for export.
An additional aid in enhancing values
has been furnished by the farmers
stacking their wheat at a greater ex-
tent than usual. Should the coal min
ers' strike continue a fortnight longer
it will prove powerful, although un-
natural, factor in enhancing values,
and in all probability result in more
serious congestion of the market for
September delivery than has prevailed
for July contracts. The promise of an
abundant wheat crop in America, the
absence OF competition in supplying
the requirements of importing coun-
tries, and the consequent increased ex-
port demand for American wheat, all
tend to benefit the American farmer
Wheat will prove profitable purchase
on all reactions and the general tend
ency is toward still higher range Of
values.
The American visible this week shows
decrease of l64, 900 bushels, and now
totals 1850, 900 bushels against 49,
429, 900 year ago. There is much to
be said regarding both sides OF the corn
market, but after all is said it is still a
fact that values are extremely low-due
to panic and overproduction. The
growing crop is not yet assured, and
with the enhancing values ruling for
wheat compared with producing years,
the increasing activity in general trade,
corn must participate to greater or
less extent in the general Improvements,
according as the crop promise to be
above or below that of last year. In
any event, present values promise to be
well maintained, and there is little
if any inducement for speculative short
selling. Should the growing crop meet
with any mishap much higher values
will quickly obtain.

Men and Horses Coming.

Seattle, Aug. 13.-A special to the
Post-lntelligencer from Mount Vernon
says:
A number of letters were received
here today from Mount Vernon people
who left Seattle on the steamer Queen
for the Yukon, telling of life at Skag-
uay. In letter to E. W. Ferris, dated
Skaguay, August 13, ex-City Marshal
Rowan says:
We got here on the 26th of July.
am camped here for the winter. The
rest OF the men are about four and a
half miles from here, packing their
outfits. They had them hauled for
three miles at one cent pound. They
have been four days in making one
mi.e, and it is about 36 miles from
where they are to the lakes. 1t is i'm
possible for them to make it, 1t is
raining all the time. They boys are
discouraged, and l feel sorry for them,
as they cannot get to the summit before
snow falls.
There are about 400 horses and 700
men on the trail. You can't get any,
body to pack for you. They are offer.
ing $50 per 100 pounds to pack over to

horses, which came over on the Islander,
and they will block the trail in the next
10 days. got about three miles from
here, and came back as soon as 1 found

men camped here waiting for snow. l
am taking it easy, and working for
$3.50 and board. l am going in in
February. This is the greatest excite
ment l ever saw, men packing in the
rain IN all the rigs man can think of
to pack with. One man has a bicycle
to pack on. counted 107 tents here
last night, and they average from two
to six men to the tent. There were
lots of them that sold out on the
Islander, and went back. Outfits that
cost $3.50 are selling all the way from
$50 to 500 each. They are offering 80
cents pound for packing 311a miles.
An Indian was killed at Dyea this
morning for stealing. The inspector
and mounted police are at Lake Ben
nett, and it will cost each man about
$50 to pass. Two-horse teams are
making from $50 to 500 day"

Kansas City, Aug. l2.-The whole.
sale price Of dressed beef by all the big
packers has been raised. The lowest
price on dressed beef now is 6 cents,
whereas on Saturday fair to good West
ern beef could be bought for AZ to 81
cents. Better grades were raised in
proportion. The best grades of bacon
were also raised = cents per pound.
The dealers claim that the raise in
price is proof positive that the big com
bine, about which SO much has been
heard lately, is fact, and that it has
begun the expected squeezing process.
They declare that they will go into a
combine of their own and butcher their
own meat. The packers deny that
there is any combine.

A LETTER FROM DAWSON.
The Camp Well Supplied With Pro-
visions at the Present Time.

Tacoma, Aug. 13.-B. L. Laughlin
writes from Dawson, Alaska, under
date of June 10:
"Five-hundred-foot claims on two
creeks are selling at prices ranging from
$4,000 to $l50,000 each. There are
about $50 claims that are good on these
two creeks. An acquaintance bought a
claim in February for $45, 900 on the
installment plan, and was to make the
last payment July l, but did not need
SO much time, for he paid the last the
day we arrived He has 4S0 feet of
ground left, and a surplus of $4,000.
The pay streak is from 40 to so feet
wide, and the pay is in and on the bed
rock. These are drift diggings, and
have to be worked in the winter time.
The ground is from 10 to 80 feet deep.
"Times will be quiet here until
about October /, when there will be
work for 1900 or 5000 men. There is
a small sawmill here, and lumber is
worth $130 per 1000, and scarce at
that. The camp was not struck until
August, and it is estimated that the
output is about 50. 500, 900 to date, and
will probably be $25, ,000,0 or $780,
100000 next year. The companies
think they can supply sufficient food for
the winter. There will be about /, 100
people come from the outside this year,
and / expect as many thousand, or
more, next year. The weather is nice
at the present time.
"The Circle City camp is about de-
serted, and the claim owners are offer
ing Sl2. 80 per day and board.
"The camp is well supplied with pro-
visions at the present time. Flour is
worth $12 hundred, bacon so and 60
cents pound, beans = cents, coffee
rs cents, milk 90 cents per per can,
table fruit 70 cents per can, shovels $3
each. If any one should want to come
here this summer or fall would advise
them to come by the mouth of the
Yukon. In early spring, they should
come by the land and water route. "
