TALE OF WOE FROM sKAGUAY
5000 Men. and 1900 Horses are
There and Can't Get Out

Port Townsend. Aug. 2S.-Andrew
WATSON, banker and ex-collector of Gus
toms, who left with a party of seven
for the Klondike, has written to his
wife from Skaguay as follows:
There are here about 5000 men and
1900 horses, making up the most for
lorn lot ever saw. About half of them
have given up, and the other half either
curse or cry. Taking it altogether,
never saw such conditions of affairs
At Dyea there are nearly as many as
here, and I am told they are in the
same condition.
God only knows what will become of
those headed this way, for none but
those who have horses will get through
1 do not believe that one in a hundred
will get through. Many have started
out, but just as many have returned
foot sore and diSheartened. Outfits
can be bought here for a song The
authorities should stop the tide of i'm
migration that is coming this way. 1t
is suicidal for a prospector to come at
this time, for the blockade here will be
Followed by one on the trail I am
hrmIy convinced that even after the
trail is opened to traffic, the crush of
horses will be even greater on the
mountains than the crush of men here.
1t is discouraging to see the pitiful con-
d1tion of thousands here One here
without horses is as helpless as a child.
1 never saw so many men weaken"

RESTORED TO HEALTH.
superintendent Davidson Returns
From q Long Outing on a Farm.

William NJ. Davidson, superintend-
ent of the Topeka schools, has returned
to Topeka after a visit of several weeks
at his mothers farm near Yates Cen
ter. Previous to his leaving Topeka,
Mr.. Davidson had severe illness. His
outing on the farm has been most BEN
eficial to him and he now looks healthy.
He says that people in the part of the
state In which he has been visiting are
talking about Topeka's second annual
Fall Festival and they will be repre-
sented here in September.
Speaking of the school work, he said:
Having just returned, have not got
right to work The city schools open
September 3D. 1 understand that some
question has been raised as to our text
book contracts. I think that most of
our contracts have provisional clause.
The matter will have to be settled at
the next board of education meeting"

LAND ROUTE TO KLONDIKE
Can ada Will Send Out an Exploring
Party at Once

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 2S.-The Dominion
government has determined to test the
feasibility of reaching klondike by way
of Edmonton and the Peace river. and
a practical trial of the proposed routes
will be made at once under the direc-
ton of the interior department. 1t
has been claimed for this route that 1t
offers the advantage of a continuous
stretch of country available for horses
and could therefore be utilized by pack
trains right through to the gold fields.
To ascertain the character of this route
it has been decided by the minister of
the interior to dispatch a small explo-
ration party of northwest mounted po-
lice soon as possible.
They will move north by way of the
Peace river to the Laird and thence by
way of the Dease to the Pelly, which
joins the Yukon at Fort Sellxirk, 40
miles above Dawson City and but 100
miles above Stewart river, where, ac-
cording to indications, the bulk of pros
pecting will be done next year.
1t is generally believed here that
richness of the K1ondike will pale into
insignificance when the wonders of the
Stewart are unfolded next season.

CONGRESS- SHUTS ITS EYES.
An Important Clause of the Tariff
Bill Which Passed Nobody
Knows How

Boston, Aug. 28.-In a letter to the
Herald published this morning, Senator
William E. Chandler explains the con-
Struction of the clause of the new tariff
law imposing a 10 per cent extra duty
on all foreign products coming through
Chandler holds that the legislation was
passed by writing it as new matter into
a conference report, where it was adopt
ed by both houses of congress without
being noticed by more than those per-
sons engaged in the scheme. The sena-
nittee went beyond their powers when
they insert this impor ta1t amendment
into a clause of the law about only five
words of which the senate and house
had disagreed.
The wording so much affects New
England trade, Senator Chandler says,
that each one of her senators and rep
to state what if anything he knew about
it and why he did not expose and try to
defeat it,
Continuing Senator Chandler says:
For myself, I regret to say that L did
not notice what the confereeS had done.
Senator Cannon in open senate asked
whether they intended to do anything
but settle differences between the two
houses, whether they intended to put
any new matter into the bill-and Sena-
tor Allison replied empha tically that of
course they did not. Yet the provision
was inserted and as no attention was
called to it in the report, it was passed
without being noticed.
Having had experience with confer
ence reports, which should have warned
me to read every word of this report, I
have no excuse to offer for not doing so.
I hope to be forgiven by my constitu-
ents, but shall never forgive myself"

PEOPLE NATURAL RULERS.
Interesting Letter Written by Thomas
Jefferson is Brought to Light.

Vincennes. Ind, Aug. 2S.-An inter-
esting letter, written by Thomas Jeffer-
son to Samuel Kercheval, the great I'M
Gle of United States Marshal Kercheval
of Indianapolis, bearing the date of
1881, has been brought to light here. It
follows:
Dear Sir: I am not among those who
fear the people. They, and not the
rich, are our dependence for continued
freedom. And to preserve their indie
pendence we must not let rulers load
US with perpetual debt. We must make
erty or profusion and servitude. If we
run into such debts as that we must be
taxed in our meat and in our drink; in
our labor and in our anusements; for
our calling and our creed, as the people
of England are.
labor 10 hours in the "a, give the earn
ings of Is of these to the general gov
eminent for their debts and daily eX-
penSeS, and the 18th one, being INSULT
cient to afford us bread, we must live
as the English do, on oatmeal and po-
tatoes.
This is the tendency of human gov
ernments. A departure from principle
in ore instance becomes a precedent for
a second, second for a third and so
on, till the bulk of society is reduced to
be mere automatons of misery to have
no sensibilities left but for SHINING and
suffering. Then begins indeed the
bellum Omnium in omnia, which some
philosophers, observing to be so general
in this world, have mistaken for the
natural instead of the abusive state of
men.
And the fore horse of this frightfuI
team is public debt. Taxa ton follows
cry and oppression.

ENGLISH INVEST AGAIN.
Manchester Fire Insurance Co Buys
Am rican Co. g Stock.

New York, Aug. 2s.-The American
Fire Insurance company of this city
has changed hands. The offer made
by the Manchester Fire Insurance COM
pany of England some time ago was
accepted, and while the companies will
be run separately as in the past, the
stock of the American company will be
owned and governed by the English
syndicate.
The latter paid 500 a share for the
stock of the American company, an ad-
vance of 100 per cent on the original
value. The capital stock of the COM
pany is $500 900. Two-thirds of the
stock has been sold, and the holders of
the remainder of the shares are given
until January 1 next in which to sell
at the same terms. The American
company is 40 years old. Two years ago
it was for a short, time in financial
difficulties.

WHY SLOW?
Mr.. Hinckley Makes Suggestions
About the Court House Grounds.

About the Court House Grounds.
Shawnee county has the finest court
house anywhere in the west-one that
will be the pride of our citizens when
the present generation shall have pass
ed away. But how about the groundsE
The approaches to the building are
of walks made of rough roofing boards
and the banks are washed down two or
three feet onto the sidewalk on both
Van Buren, and Harrison streets; that
is, two or three feet over where the
sidewalk should be. but the present
sidewalks are of brick and only six
feet wide.
why not fix up the grounds and
walks as they should be?
Why not have a handsome and sub
stantial wall built that shall be in
keeping with the building, with side
walks of cement and of standard width
and with the grounds and walks to the
building artisticaIly laid out, and why
shouldn't this generation see these
things done?
The taxpayers want the grour DIS fixed
up and they want to see it well done,
and many of them have hopes of living
to see it done. H. v. HINCKLEY.

A STRIFE BREWING.
Wire Nail Factory Reduces Wages
and Ignores the Union.

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 2S.-The Com
mercial Tribune special from Anderson,
Ind, says:
The American Wire Nail company,
having expended $4,000 in improving
their plant, have announced the scale
for the wire department, which IS a
slight increase above the average scale
of like plants in the country, but cut
on last years scale, and is due to the
Introduction of the plate system.
The company will treat with the men
only as individuals and the workers are
DESTROYS of having their organization
recognized.
Walton Gillett, an official of the ma
tfonal association, is in Anderson and
has been active in the effort to have the
association recognized, but without
avail. Last night a notice was posted
by the company notifying 300 men that
they would be given until Friday to
sign the scale.
