FUR SEALING CONTROVERSY.
4 one-Sided Affair Ignored By State
Department.

Washington. Sept. 19.-The officials Of
the state department are not disposed
to comment on the fur sealing CORE
spondence given out by the British
foreign office and summarized in the
London Times. further than to say
that it shows the object sought by the
government Of the United States for
the past three years has been attained
by the agreement of Great Britain to
participate in the convention to be held
in October. The British government
has seen ut to limit it's part in the con-
ference to an ascertainment Of the facts
in dispute as to seal life. 1t was pre-
cisely this result which was contem-
plated by Secretary Gresham and when
they proposed the creation of a. COM
mission of scientists to ascertain
whether, under the operation of exist
ing regulations, the seals were or were
not on the road to determination. II
such q commission should report in
favor Of the contention Of the United
States. this government did not doubt
that Great Britain would consent to
such modification Of the regulations as
would save the seals from eXtermina-
ton The refusal Of the British gov
eminent to consent to such a commits
sion and a conference led TO the trans
mission to Ambassador Hay of Secre-
tary Sherman's note of May TO- which
was followed by Lord Salisbury's reply

The two gentlemen were in consulta-

part Of this evening. Secretary Alger
said tonight that nothing final had
been determined upon and that nothing
would be until a report had been re-
ceived from Captain Ray. His report
is expected here about the middle of
October.
An important matter upon which
Secretary Alger especially desired the
opinion of Messrs. Weare and Cudahy
was th2 feasibility of a locomotive sled
designed to draw logs and other ma
terial over the ice. This has been in
successful operation in the logging
camps in Wisconsin, and it's adapta-

into practical operation in Alaska if
relief measures be necessary. The
representatives of the trading company
expressed the opinion that the sledges
might be feasible for the purpose con-
fAn1plated.
Niessrs. Weare and Cudahy say there
are ample provisions for 5000 men for

INVITES EPIDEMICS.
Lack of Nutritious Food Causes Dis

Washington. Sept. 13.-In his weekly re-
port to- the marine hospital service, San

that FOR the week ending Sept. g. there
were $50 deaths. of which 10 were from

teritis. The inspector says the decline in
deaths from yellow fever is only appar-
ent many deaths from that disease hav-

there are not as many cdffeS of yellow fe-

two months ago, the soldiers who are
sick being cared for in the hospitals else
where. For two weeks according to their
mortality reports, no deaths from yellow

This condition, he says. does not exist.
rhe enormous death rate from enteriHS
and dysentery. the Inspector says, is a
result of the lack of nutritious food. and
the deaths from these diseases have not
reached high water mark. Unless the
laws are SO amended as 30 admit certain

Bombay, Sept. 19.-Adrices from the
front show that the various columns
are advancing against the Mahmoukis
from Panjkora and Shabakru. AS yet
they have met with no serious opposi-
ton, but the difficulties of transporta-
ton in a mountainous and almost path
less country are immense. Another
formidable obstacle in the way of
rapid movement is the lack of water.
The brigade of General Jefferies has
not Joined in the advance. Yesterday
it left Camp Anayet with 16 companies
of infantry and four guns, in order to
re-attack the enemy at the village of
Damotagoa. The enemy made q
desperate resistance, but were driven
out. The British demolished their
towers and captured 400 mule loads of
supplies. AS soon as the troops began
to retire from the village the enemy re-
appeared in force. The retirement,
however, was effected with great pre-
cision, the native troops behaving
splendidly. Two Sikhs were killed and
six wounded.

tween the Momouds and the Second

press the brigade during the retire
ment, but fresh tribesmen appeared.
Captain Ryder's company of Sikhs
virtually owed their lives to an Afridi
sergeant of the guides corps who, when
the SikhS had exhausted their ammuni-
ton and were desperately cutting their
way back through the enemy, dashed
up the hill under heavy fire with q
supply of cartridges. He arrived just
in the nick of time, as the sWordsmen
of the enemy were already among the
Sikhs, who were absolutely unable,
after the heavy climb and the hard
fighting. to continue a successful
struggle. Lieutenant Watson was
thrice wounded while CALAMITY leading

body of the enemy that was trying to

Jeffreys with his guns had taken posi-

WINTER SETS IN.
Snow Prevented Further Progress
Over the Skaguay Trail.


San Francisco, Sept. IA special to
the Call from Hal Hoffman, dated
Juneau, Sept. 10, says:
The first snow storm of the season
swept over the mountains last night
which is one indication that the same
thing is likely to recur at any time or
continue steadily. Small boats which
arrived here today from Skaguay bay.
report that the snow fell one and half
feet deep on Skaguay trail. This means
that further progress cannot be made
on that trail by the staggering thou
sands, and that the establishment of
winter quarters must be begun quickly
where not already under way. The
slippery, sliding snow will render it al
most impossible to make any progress
worth attempting. to say nothing of
the drifts that pile up from the winds.
This snow stron may be said to stop
further progress over both Dyea and
Skaguay unless such an unprecedented
thing as a spell Of dry, calm weather
comes.
Already the indications begun to bear
out the statement of these dispatches
four weeks ago, that the trails to Klon-
dixie would be marked by collapsed
tents, blasted hopes and the skeletons
