WILL NOT FISH.
The Salmon Canneries in the North
Deserted by the Men.

In connection with the rush the salmon
packers are in a dilemma. Advices re-
ceived yesterday state that no. only sailors
but all the white PACKERS have quit the
different stations ana are now on their
way across the mountains to Klondyke.
Almost all the men left at Kodiak are
Chinese. The white men threw up their
jobs directly the news of the rich finds on
the Yukon reached them. Men who were
making from 81 to IS day quit their
work, left from $40 10 $50 accum ulated
wages behind them, packed UP all their
belongings and took the nearest way to
the Klondyke. In consequence the YES
sells now at the canneries are practically
without sailors. The Chinese are there,
and in most Instances captains and Off
GERS have stayed by their ships. In haul
ing on rope the Chinese are all right,
but when 1t comes to a question OF bend
ing Or unbending a sail they are more
than useless. With the water front in
San Francisco depopulated it looks as
though the salmon feet will remain in
Alaskan waters for several months to
come.

RIVER MEN ENGAGED.
Numbers of Them Going From
Canada-Inspector Strickland
SanQuine.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Aug. 4.-Agents for
leading tim Der firm, with headquarters
at Ottawa, have been engaging men to go
to Klondyke as river men. Wages Will be
$40 month-csrtainly not excessive in
comparison with inducements OF $40 to
SIS day offered for miners on the spot.
But the prospect for employment on
Lumber woods here is unpromising at
present. Consignments OF lumber have
been hurried forward for the past few
months in anticipation OF the Dingley
duties until the United States market is
we'll stocked for year ahead. Besides
the imposition of 81 the rate assures q
cessation OF shipments until the prese mt
supply is absor bed, so the cut bids fair to
be less than the minimum one Tor the
next two seasons. :,
Under these circumstances the offer OF
employment at the Yukon district is
looked upon as a bonanza, and agents are
having cir pick of the best river men In
the district. As miners these men may
not count for a great deal, but i'll the all
important work of getting there and OF
getting IN early supplies to Klondy ke via
the head waters of the Yukon, their ex-
perience will render them valuable.

1T is IN PAUCIRTAMBO.
Mr.. De Miranda Describes the Lo-
cation of the New God D.S-
triCt in Peru,


cation of the New Go d Ds-
triCt in Peru.
Captain E. de Miranda, whose rooms at
the Palace Hotel have been filled for the
past week or more with anxious inquirers
a bout Peru, has received from the Peruvian
Consul General at New York Two i'm
portant maps, showing to some extent at
least the gold fields.
THE general map shows the railways,
and the other one shows the rivers along
which the gold is found said Mr.. de
Miranda. Tine latter shows an area Of
about 200 square miles, Putting it another
way, the district as shown is about two
and a half degrees in extent. These
mines are in the province of Pduclrtam b.
large portion of which is in the Andes
Mountains All the affiuents OF the large
Madre de Dios River are in this district,
besides those of the important river
Urubamb a. In short it may be said that
the gold region is along the watersheds Of
that part of the Andes.
Tine towns OF Cuzco and Churu are
both in the district, VI ECO being in one
corner OF it and Churu beng q bout thirty
leagues away. The altitude OF Churu is
about 10. 600 feet. At this height in that
part of Peru there is no snow at any time
OF the year or a least none that cuts any
figure. In this respect The country is
vastly different from the Rocky or Sierra
Nevada mountains, which at the same
altitude wouid have enormous falls of
snow. It is cool, however, for most of the
year.
both placer and quartz mines are
found there. Mr.. Hardi on's nine is the
Santo Domingo, near Churu. The tenn
perature in the district is mean of 10 or
16 degrees centigrade. The snow is at
from 1900 to $4,000 feet. There is no
snow at Arequipa. 1t is cold, however;
that is to say 1T least that il is not warm.

The Colonial Fayre.

The colonial fayre, conducted by the
ladies of the Episcopal church, at the
armory, Tuesday. Wednesday, and Thurs
day evenings, was financial success and
furnished entertainment for large number
of visitors. The armory was filled with
evergreen booths in which the ladies and
gentlemen and children arrayed in all sorts
OF costumes, were selling all sorts of arti-
cles. The postoffice, with Miss Maude
Gates as postmistress, did an enormous
business, while Mr.. and Mrs. Il. j. Hors-
man as gypsies, told fortunes that made the
hair Of the inspecting stand on end and
scared the maidens out of any notion of
marriage for years, the wishing well
brought comfort to many who have wanted
something for years, but until visiting the
we'll, had no hopes Of getting it. Old
ladies and young old ladies and old young
ladies sold flowers, candies, pop corn, etc.
The city band furnished music and various
members of the church choir and others,
sang solos, duets, and choruses, which,
with recitations and dancing, made pleas

do justice to all needy persons. Under no
conditions should money be given to tramps.

ed greatly by the intense heat, was very
brief in his remarks, but what he did say

that the fires of Pythianism were brightly
burning on the affairs of Maine because

of the pleasure it gave him to step on the

WOULDN'T DISCUSS CUBA.
How Mr.. McMillin Forced an Adjourn-
ment of the House,

Washington, July 7.-The House met
Monday in anticipation of the possibility
that the Senate might have passed the
tariff bill by today.
Mr.. Pitney, Republican of New Jersey,
asked unanimous consent for the con-
sideration Of the joint resolution appro-
priating 5000 for the erection of a sea
wall at the Sandy Hook proving ground.
Mr.. Simpson, Populist of Kansas, de-
manded the regular order which was
equivalent to an objection.
An amusing incident followed. Mr..
| McMillin, Democrat of Tennessee, rising
| to parliamentary inquiry, asked, mas
| much as Monday, under the rules was one
| of the days on which the Speaker could
entertain a motion to suspend the rules,
and as this was continuation of Mon
| days session, whether it was not now in
order to move a suspension of the rules.
The Speaker replied that he thought it
| was.
| "Then move to suspend the rules and
pass the Senate Cuban belligerency resolu-
tion,' cried Mr.. McMillin waving aloft
the resolution. The Speaker calmly
turned to Mr.. Dingley, who was on his
feet, and exclaimed that the Chair recog-
| nized the gentleman from Maine.
Mr.. Dingley Immediately moved an ad-
journment. The Democrats howled with
delight. II thought the Chair had recog-
nized me-" said Mr.. McMillin.
Y "The Chair recognized the gentleman
from Maine, and he moved to adjourn, J"
replied the Speaker blandly.
Mr.. McMillin appealed to Mr.. Dingley
| not to insist upon his motion, but he de-
clined to withdraw it and the vote was
taken by yeas and nays on the demand of
Mr.. McMillin, who said he desired to
place the enemies of Cuba on record
The motion was carried, 134 to 1O4, and
at 12. 40 D. m., the House adjourned until
tomorrow.
