Intentions ~f His Department.
DENVER, Col, Aug. 12.-James WI.
son, secretary of the agricultural de.
partment, has arrived here on the tour
he is making for the purpose of fami
liarizing himself with the conditions
and necessities of the west.
The cultivation of the sugar beet
and the breeding of cavalry horses are
the two most important matters which
he will investigate.
1T is the intention of the department
of agriculture in the matter of seed dis
tribution," said the secretary, ito pro
cure seeds of rare varieties for useful
plants, aud such as are difficult to OBJ
tain, and distribute them in such parts
of the country as are suitable fol
their growth, and are of the same
soil and climatic characters
tics as the countries in which
these plants are Indigenous. In
pursuit of this idea, the department
now has an agent in Siberia investiI
eating the grasses of the elevated
plateaus of that region, who will Sc.
cure seeds of these plants if possible,
and experiment with them in the arid
and semi-arid regions of the west with
the view of selection of such as may
prove to be advantageous for feed for
the stock of our great plains"

A GRAND IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Thousands OF Acres OF Arid Ground to be
Rendered Fertile.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 12.-Col. Balloon,
If Wall street, New York. arrived in
Denver yesterday to make arrange
ments for carrying forward gigantic
irrigation project in western Colorado
and Utah, in which he has become in
terested. Col. Balloon has been per-
sonallv investigating the ground to be
covered by the irrigation system.
The plan is to irrigate Mesa county,
Col, and Grand county, Utah. The
canal will start at the head of the
Platte creek, above Grand junction, fol-
lowing the Grand river, and then
branching off to the west, running
through a now practically arid section.
In the first six miles the canal will ir-
rigate SO, 600 acres in Colorado alone,
and 200, 600 in Utah, provided the Utah
state government consents to build a
two mile tunnel through which the
water will be conveyed.
THE water" said Col. Balloon, will
be drawn from the Grand river, which,
you can quote me as saying. contains
more water than all the rivers COM
bined on the western slope of the Rocky
mountains"
He has received assurances that the
state of Utah will consider the project
very favorably. After a brief stay
here he will GO to Salt Lake City to
confer with the state government

DYEA, Alaska, Aug 4, VIA SEATTLE,
Wash, Aug. 12.-The British steamers
Islander and Gees have arrived with
about 500 prospectors, which increases
the number on the Dyea and Skaguay
trails to fully 1.50O. Later reports have
route is open to the lakes, and that it
is about IS miles long. 1t is a zig gag
course over the mountains and the
road is very soft. There are 200 or 800
head of horses on The trail, and they
will soon tramp its road in deplora-
bic condition.
The probability of one man in ten
reaching the Klondixe is remote Old
Alaska prospectors, some of whom have
wintered in the Yukon and know
what to expect, are becoming fright
ened and turning back. Not that they
fear the hardships, but that they are
apprehensive of famine on account of
SO many men rushing headlong to the
mines without enough provisions to
last them three months.
The best evidence that those upon
the ground regard the situation with
more or less alarm is the fact that many
are paying 20 cents per pound to have
freight packed across Dyea pass. This
is an increase of three cents per
pound since the sailing of the Alkali,
at which time 10 and Il cents were
charged. Twenty cents is the regular
rate over the Dyea or Chilcoot pass
route.
This increase and exorbitant charge
is due to scarcity of horses. Without
pack animals of some description it
appears to be next to impossible at this
season to get freight and outfits across
the divide.

GOING FOR GOLD.

A characteristics Company of Yankees
Reaches Seattie-Are Organized on a
Military Basis and Quilted Without Re-
gard to Cost. with a California FOrty-
Miner to Instruct Them IA Mining and
Mining Camp Usages.
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 12-One of
the largest and best equipped parties
that have started for the Klondike
from Seattle this season has just ar
rived in the city from New England.
The members are organized on a mill
tary basis, the captain being Arthur
E. Seymour, son of the well-known
mind reader; Charles r. MoseIy, form
erly of the Boston Herald, is secretary
and A. E. Rogers of Norwich. Conn, is
treasurer. Each member of the party
originally contributed 81. 900 and each
agrees to share alike in all the expen-
ditures and profits of the expedition.
Apart from these individuals, the
company has plenty of backing. They
were the first organized party to leave
Boston for the new gold fields, and
their departure from that city on Au-
gust was the occasion for a real
demonstration.
The corporate name of the expedi
ton is the Eaverhill Mining Co., from
the fact that Seymour at the time he
organized it was at Haverhill, al
though his home is at Utica, n. Y.
The members of the company are as
follows: Arthur E. Seymour, HaTer-
hill; j. G. Williams, Charlestown; 1.
c. Hill, Deerfield; G. r. Allen, Boston;
John R. Nicholas, Providence, r. L:
L. L. Hobbs, Springfield; George II.

Thayer, New Haven, Conn; DIR. NJ.

Hartford, Conn.
Mr.. Seymour organized the party
and is chief. Mr.. Williams is "A years
old and a California forty-niner. He
will instruct his company in mining
and the usages of mining companies.
Their outfit is one of the most elabor-
ate and costly. There is nothing ex-
travagant about it, but every neces-
sary article is there and every
one is of the best possible quail
ity~ The only thing they brought
with them from the east is some sheep
skin sleeping bags which are of supe-
rior workmanship and of unique and
useful design. Their passage was en-
gagged by telegraph some days ago on
the steamer Humboldt, which is due to
sail from Seattle for st. Michaels next
Sunday morning, and their tickets
guarantee their arrival at Dawson
City before the river is frozen up.

1T is TIME TO CHANGE

Laws Under Which We are Powerless to
Protect Ourselves Against the Influx of
Dangerous Characters.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Commissioner
Powderly of the immigration bureau
has sent the following letter of in
structions to immigration officials at
New York, Boston. Philadelphia, Bal.
timore and Quebec, relative to the an
ticipated arrival in the country OF
Spanish anarchists:
Information has reached this bureau to the
effect that one Planas, leader of the Spanish
anarchists, has been expelled from France, be-
ing conducted to Havre, from which port it is
expected he will sail to the United States ]
am also advised that Tsrrida Marmol, another
Spanish anarchist, is believed to have gone to
England and probably is en- route to this couD-
try. A careful inspection should be made Of
arriving passengers in order that should any of
this class be detected careful examination
can be had as to their rights Of admission into
the United States under existing laws.
1t is stated at the bureau of immi-
grafton that there is no law under
which persons can be excluded on the
ground that they are anarchists. Nor
is anarchy anywhere declared to be a
crime, so that if PlanaS and Marmol are
refused admission to the country the re-
fusal must be based solely upon the
fact that they come within the general
immigration law as to paupers, contract
laborers, criminals, etc. This law
expressly provides however. that
nothing in this act shall be construed
to apply to or exclude persons con-
victed of a political offense. nothwith-
standing said political offense may be
designated as a felony, crime, infa-
nous, or misdemeanor involving moral
turpitude, by the laws of the land
whence he came or by the court con-
victing.

Frozen Alaska.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. ia new gold
field has been discovered, but this one
is in the tropics Reports have come
to this city lately that big finds of gold
have been made in Nicaragua, and the
steamers from that section have been
bringing in gold dust in proof of it.
S. Z. Spence, well-known banker Of
Houston, Tex, arrived here on the
steamer Fulton, plying between New
Orleans and Nicaraguan ports, and
confirmed the stories about the dis
coveries in Nicaragua. He says he has
been all over the gold fields district, and
that gold is there in large quantities
He has acquired valuable claims, and
will return as soon as he can make ar
rangements to work them. He says
the whole gold section down there is
very rich and the climate splendid. He
says unemployed miners of the United
States will do much better there than
in attempting to go to Alaska Food
in Nicaragua is cheap and other costs
are reasonable.

The United States Statutes Prohibiting the
Sale of Liquor Steadily Ignored.
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. IA special
to the Post-Intelligencer from Dyea.
Alaska, August =, says:
Although the United States statutes
strictly prohibit the importation of
liquor into Alaska for other purposes
than for medicine, yet there are thou
sands of gallons of alcohol, whisky
and brandy being landed every week.
A large part of it is being shipped to
the Klondike. The worst kind of
whisky finds ready sale to Indians for
So bottle. In almost every bay or
nook of land where Indians live are
sloops from which whisky is sold in
abundance. At Dyea and Skaguay, as
well as Juneau, Wrangel and Sitka,
are found many saloons running wide
open.
The government issues internal rev.
enue licenses and at the same time
prohibits the importation and sale of
liquors.

THE LOSS OF THE MEXICO
She Was Wrecked at the Entrance to Sltka
Harbor-Au Hands Saved.

She Was Wrecked at the Entrance 60 Sltka
HarbOr-Au Hands Saved.
VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 12.-The steam
er Mexico, which was wrecked at the
entrance of Sitka harbor at a. m. on
August 5, had keen running at half
speed because of the dense fog until a
few moments before a rock was struck.
Pilot Conneu then rang for full steam
ahead, and soon after there was
terrific shock on the star
board quarter. So great was the
momentum that the ship was carried
through the reef, which, it is believed,
was the West Devil rocks, and into the
deep water beyond.
Instantly there was a call of the
crew, and without the slightest con-
fusion the IS passengers on board were
safely placed in the ships boats. Soon
after the vessel struck the heavy fog
cleared, and it was bright and sun
shiny before she went down.
There was no excitement on board.
The passengers and watch below were
awakened by the shock. The alarm
was quickly given and all were quickly
dressed and treasured by the GOODNESS
of the officers and awaited their turns
to enter the boats. The vessel was
valued at about S1OO, 900.

BLOCKED KLONDIkERS.
Not One in Fifty VIII Get Across the
Mountains this Winter.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 1S.-The
blockade of KIondikers at Dyea and
Skaguay will lead to much suffering
this winter. Capt. Annex, who was the
pilot of the steamer Islander, which
has just retured from the north, says
that things are in very bad shape. At
fairs could not be much worse. Two
thousand people are camped along the
rocky shore with but few horses or
pack animals at hand, and they have
practically no chance of getting over
the pass. One of the United States
commissioners, by using his infuenc g
and paying $500 in coin, managed to
get the Indians to pack his outfit over
the Chilcoot pass to the lakes. Of the
others who went from Puget Sound
without horses. not one in 50 will get
across the mountains this winter.
