PORT TOWNSEND, Oct. 30.-The bark
Colorado Expedition, which put into Port
Townsend harbor last ght in dist ress, is
still here and there is serious talk among
those On board OF abandoning the voyage
until sprins. This is the most lmportan
and expensive expedition that has yet
started for the KIondike, and represents
an expenditure Of about $4,000. The
principal backer of the expedition is Pierre
Hum bert Jr. of Boston. The outfit con-
sists OF $40 horses, ninety head of cattle,
125 tons Of ground feed, twenty-five tons
OF hay, I25 tons of food and provisions,
ninety dogs, sled and pack saddles for
all the horses. Sixty men are on board to
care for the animals.
The intention was 10 tow the bark to
Wrangel where the stock and outfits would
be started for the kiondike over the Dalton
trail. its hackers hoping 10 get to Dawson
by Christmas. The horses were not ex-
pected TO live through the entire trip, but
IT was hoped that the cattle and dog trans
would land the l25 tons OF provisions in
Dawson all right. and the promoters oil the
expedition believed they would make q
fortune from the sale of supplies to
starving miners on the Upper Yukon.
Shortly after leaving Seattle yesterday
morning in tow of the tug Pioneer it was
found that the cattle in the lower hold aft
of the bark were without proper vent1la-
ton, and when Inc vessel put in here last
night the temperature was 120 degrees in
that part of The ship, where nearly $50
animals were packed. Four OF them had
smothered TO death, and it was decided to
proceed no further until different arrange
ments could be made abou. Transporting
the stock.
This morning the Colorado docked at
the wharf here, and the animals were
taken ashore. Three more had died, ana
all the others had lost weight during the
night.
Those in charge of the expedition are
to-day very much discouraged over the
outlook, and some Of Them are ready to
acknowledge that it is already a failure
The fate of the Thorp party, which made
failure of the attempt to get through the
snow over the Dalton trail a few weeks
ago and lost $50, 0G0 on the trip, is begin
ming to impress itself on the minds OF the
P.erre Humbert leaders, and they are now
ready to turn back.

figure il the case. In The Union Depot
here is large eating station, In which the
Southern Pacific is interested. One hun
dred and thirty Two passengers taking one,
and possibly TWO meals each at 20 cents
per meal, would add quite little sum to
the Golfers of Uncle Coils.
This, however. will be vain hope for
the octopus, for the belated passengers,
after holding q consultation, decided to
storm the hotels and eating-houses around
Ogden in preference to patronizing the
Southern Pacific Hotel, and Ogden eat
ing places are we'll filled with hungry and
disguised passengers to- night.
A prominent Eastern business man said
to THE CALL cores spondent that many of
the passengers now here en- route to San

would, when returning East, go by steamer
TO Portland and thence by one of the
Northern routes in preference to purchas-

say that the hardships imposed upon
them bv the elements are entire Iy dwarfed
By the "cussedness'' of the South ern Pa
cihc.
The train carrying these passengers ar
r.ved here TODAY, one hour ard forty-ive
m minutes behind its regular schedule time.
1t appears that the Southern Pacific has a
hight on hand with the Rio Grande, and
takes advantage of every opportunity TO
get back at the railroad company in ques-
ton, and thinks misuse of passens ers a
legitimate method.
A prominent ofncial of the octopus was
interviewed tonight. and stated that the
Southern Pacific had been in the habit of
waiting one hour and forty minutes for
conn ction with the Rio Grande Com
panv, five minutes less than the delay ed
train to-day would have kept them. He
ad limited, however, that he had started
his train West on time to-day without
waiting at all. An employe at the Union
depot stated that it was a com Oh occur
rem ce for the Southern Pacific TO wait five
or six hours for the Union Pacific Com
pany, with which the octopus had no
petty quarrel.
Thus is the public compelled to suffer
in order that the officials in the yellow
jaundice building at San francisco may
punish a rival road for some alleged
wrongdoing.
The delayed passengers here are to be
taken west tomorrow morning as a Sec
tion of secoud-class train. This train
will not carry the dinin car which the
purchasers of tickets on the delayed
train were assured would be provided for
their use west os Ogden. They will feast
on Nevada coffee and "sinkers" to-
morrow.
There is also another element that may
