THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THE
SOUTH COAST.
OLD STORY OF STARVATION
TOLD BY NEARLY ALL OF THE RE-
TURNING MINERS FROM
ALASKA.
WHISKY TO BE HAD IN PLENTY
Liquor the Principal Cargo of the
River Steamers Leaving ST.
Michaers for Dawson.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept. II.
The steamer South Coast, which left
ST Michael's on Sept. 1, arrived here
today, bringing twenty-seven passen-
gers from Dawson City. The exact
amount of gold brought down could
not be learned, but it is believed to be
about $3.50, go. The returned miners
were not disposed to talk of their for
tunes, but j. P. Light, of Chicago, adj
mitted having accumulated $4,000 in
dust and nuggets during his two years
stay in the gold fields. All of the
South Coasts passengers are loud in
their condemnation of transportation
companies for urging men to rush
north without the preparation for a
winter of hardship. They say people
will starve, surrounded by gold in
Dawson City, before the Yukon river
opens for navigation next spring.
Among the passengers was C. T. Ru-
pei of Tacoma, who went to Circle
City two years ago, and later to Daw-
son City. He brought down $4,000 in
dust and nuggets. He has several
claims and will return in the spring
Rupel went in over the Dyea pass, and
says that the trail from Dawson City
to the gold fields is just as hard to
travel as the Chilkoot pass. Rupel says
not one man in hundred of those
who have gone in this season will get
claims, as all the country. is staked
off and unless new diggings are found
the newcomers will get nothing.
j. P. Light, of Chicago, is returning
after two years in the gold fields. He
has about $4,000. Provisions, he says,
are very scarce at Dawson City, and it
Will not be a month before flour and
bacon cannot be purchased there at
any price. The river steamers Bell,
Alice and Weare were all at ST Mich
ael's loading for their last trip up the
river this season.
The story to the effect that the pr.n-
cipal cargo Of the river steamers from
st. MichaePs to Dawson City is whis-
ky, is confirmed by Light, who says he
would rot have come out this fall but
for fear of starving. He came out
fl ON KlonGiSe and went to a store in
Dawson, where he had $4,000 on de-
post. He asked for a supply Of winter
provisions, but could set only one sack
Of flour and twenty pounds of bacon.
At St. MichaeIs there are plenty of
provisions, but 10 place Of shelter COM
mensurate with the demand. The
steamer P. B. Weare, which stuck on
a sand bar in the Yukon, got off safely

TO Test Your wheel.

contrivance to test the stability of a
bicycle and bring to light any weak spot in
chain. pedal or other part is among the latest
inventions in connection with cycling, says
the Sporting Life. 1t should prove valuable
thing fer repairers and dealers to have on
hand. as many riders would be only too will
ing to pay a small fee to have their wheel
thoroughly tested before starting for a tour
or entering a lace. Without the aid of
continuance of this sort the most skilled ma
chinist cannot always locate a defect, and
accident at a critical moment is often the
first notice of q defect.
The inventor of this testing machine claims
that it will instantly discover any weak riv-
ct in chain loose key or flaw in any
part of the driving gear, spokes, rims. tires
or wheel of a bicycle. The machine is home
made and unpatented. 1t looks something
like home trainer and consists of a stand
of wood, to which is bolted a brace for sup
porting the bicycle. The wheel rests upon
and is revclved by a running cylinder driv-
sep by belt A weighted lever, piyoted on
a wrought iron piece, is arranged to press
down on another piece, which connects with
the wheel shaft The bicycle is fastened to a
post and the pedals weighted. Then the wheel
is made to revolve at ordinary speed for an
hour Every vital part is thus subjected to
steady strain, and if after the test each is
intact 1t may be concluded that the wheel is
in as perfect condition as it is possible to
get it.

G0NIPERS BITTER.
He DcnOunces the killing of the
Hunsar fan Miners.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, after bitterly denouncing the
killing of the men near Hazleton as a
brutal murder, said: '"The men were
marching in the public highway; they
had as much right to march to Latti-
rner or any other place on the public
highway, as the sheriff or governor Of
Pennsylvania, or the president of the
United States. The mine operators in
the madness of their supposed power,
and in their efforts to enslave labor,
have used judges and courts to give
the color of law to the most fragrant
violation of the constitutional rights Of
the people; sheriffs and deputies talk
ms their cue from their superiors,
have carried out this policy and killed
men exercising their rights under the
constitution ard the law.
I'm his published explanation, Sheriff
Martin makes an effort tc secure the
favor of our native Americans by re-
peatedly emphasizing his statement
that the miners he killed were foreign
ers. 1t may be true that these men
were not native Americans, but they
were the men brought by the greed
and cunning Of the mine operators,
and, so long as they submitted to be
starved, no word as to their foreign
birth was heard, but now this cry of
foreigners is like cloud of dust
raised to obscure the crime The min
crS will win their humane and heroic
struggle; they deserve to win; their
conduct has challenged the admiration
of their friends and sympathizers.

Annual Reception Is Held at Iile

lnlNSFSIH.
The regular fall reception given by
the Y NJ c. A. and Y. w. c. A, Of the
university to the freshmen, was held
last evening in the Armory. 1t was
the first time the big assembly hall
had been used for that purpose, and It
was doubted at first if the affair would
be a success, but every doubt was
changed to joyful surprise when the
new students with their young lady
friends began to arrive. So large a
crowd of students never assembled at
a like meeting at the university, and
il was felt by all that very excellent
precedent had been established to live
up to in the future. The affair plays
a large part towards the freshmen get
ting acquainted with the upper class
men and members of the faculty.
The evenings programme consisted
OF a concert by the university band
addresses by the presidents of the two
associations, Il reading by Prof. Nc

President Northrop. 1t being gather

INSURGENT STATUS.
1t May Not Be Helped py the Capture
z-:.S TunaS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11-State de-
partment officials refuse to discuss the
bearing which the capture by Cuban
insurgents of Victoria de las Tunas
may have upon the according of bel
ligerent rights. Such recognition, they
argue, rests with the president alone,
and he must be the sole judge as to the
extent to which the revolutionary gov
eminent must have established itself
to justify official acknowledgements. Il
is pointed out that the same town was
captured by the insurgents in the tell
years war, and did not thereby im-
prove their standing with foreign ma
tons
While some state department officials
are warm friends of Cuban independ-
ence, they hesitate to express the be-
lief that the victory reported will in
crease the probability of action by the
president. as they think the admins
tration will await the result Of such
representations as come within the
scope of Minister Woodford'S instruc-
lions before adopting a course calcu-
lated to offend Spain. 1t is not be-
lieved that anything short Of the with
drawal of Spanish troops from Cuba
would cause a recognition Of bellig-
erency or independence at this time.
The excitement reported from Madrid
and the possibility that Capt. Gen
Weyler may be recalled, because OF
the disaster, is regarded as only a nat
ural result of the insurgent victory.
II is not the less of seven small for
tifications, designated as forts, and the
taking of 500 prisoners, that has Gre
ated panic in Spain, but the fear
that the event may be taken advan
tage of by the United States to recog-
niZe the Cuban independence. Tho
great anxiety to speedily retake the
town is produced by the dread that
the insurgents might carry out their
declared intention of establishing their
provisional government there and base
their appeal for recognition upon thus
evidence of stability.
No representative of the Spanish le-
cation is now in the city. Senior Que
sada, of the Cuban delegation, is alb
sent On a diplomatic mission tc Mex
leo. and Senior AIbertini is in New
York. There is no one here tempcrar-
lily in charge Of the delegation.
Gen. Julio Sanguilly, the famous Gu
ban patriot. has sent a telegram to
friends here, announcing that he ex-
pected to arrive tomorrow, and tina it
is possible that he may assume con-
troll Of affairs until the return of Sc
nor Quesada.
