Hundred and Fifty Passengers
Bound for the klondike.

SEATTLE. WASH, Aug. 22.-When
Alaska sailing day comes on Sunday
there is always a scene of unusual interest
at the docks. To-day was no exception in
this particular and when tho Queen
steamed out at 1880 o'clock there was an
immense assem- blage of people to cheer
on to success the $50 venturesome Klon-
dikers aboard the vessel. About thirty OF
the cabin passengers came from San
Francisco and the balance were largely
from the East. Over 100 horses are also
aboard. Last evening there was general
CONSERVATION at the Ocean dock when it
became known that the freight Tor the
Queen amounted to about 400 tons and
that space had only been provided for
about 1000 tons. The officers of the Pa
cifc Coast Steamship Com pany imme-
diately set to work to readjust the condi-
tions, with the result that but little freight
was left be hind and none of it belonged to
prospectors.
Pile-driving machinery and ten men
were sent up by the Seattle Bridge Com
pany to construct a wharf at Skaguay,
where it is badly needed.

Queen is +. S. Chad bourne of San Fran

himself, had Quilted several parties of
men who are bound for the Yukon. He
had heard OF the difficulty encountered in
crossing the passes and is simply going
up to render such assis lance as might be
necessary in order to expedite the cross

sit is matter of intense surprise to me
that no mention has been made of the
commercial and political value of the
Sandwich Islands to Great Britain, not
only as being the only available landing
place in the North Pacific for the all
British cable across the Atlantic, via Can
ada and the Pacific to the colonies, but
also as being the only port in mid-Pacifc
on the highway OF trade and travel with
Australia, China and the far East. Should
the Panama or Nicaragua canals become
fats accom- pills. these islands will be ON
the direct route to Japan and China, and
would form the only available coaling and
supply stations with the far East. With
regard to the British Pacific cable it will
become an impossibility if Hawaii is an
nexed to the United States. The Hawaiian
group forms the only possible landing
place for such line. 1t is quite impos-
sible to stretch cable from Vancouver to
any island south of the equator that may
be controlled by England without an in
termediate resting place, and the only one
provided by nature is some port of the
Hawaiian Islands.
