Wld Scramble at Seattle q Heard Eirll
Boat Bound Tor the North.
SEATTLE, Wash, Jnly 2o.-What may
develop into ths most stupend0us
exodus Of people from the United
States IN the entire history of this
country, and rivaling the marvellous
settling Of California in 1919, began
here yesterday. The objective point
OF the rush is the Klondyke
gold fields in Alaska, and the
impelling force is the gold-hunting
fever that now affects every man
and woman ia this community.
Trembling with impotence and flushed
with hopes and envy at the stories Of
others wonderful luck, throngs Of
half-erazsd people, herded with sheep
and horses on board the steamer Alld
yesterday, lest they should miss the
first chance to go to the new Goleonda.
The stories Of returned miners, loaded
with gold and tales OF wealth still
hidden in the earth, have started a
fever among the residents of the Pa
eife states. The first boat TO leave for
Alaska was crowded, and the fever has
spread so much that San Francisco
capitalists are planning TO build a rail-
road from the mouth of the Yukon
river to the heart OF the gold district
along the KlOndyke river.

WASHINGTON, July Glowing to dis
sensions among the members of the
aristocratic First Presbyterian church,
Rev. DR.. Dewitt Talmage will not re-
turn to Washington to take charge of
his flock. The fact is, the church does
not want him. The majority of the
members claim that DR. Talmage
has far from realized their expecta-
tions, and that he has not built
up the church as he should have
done. In fact, the church has
less members and is worse off
financially than ever before. DR.. Tai
mage has not received a farthing from
the church for his services so far this
year. This, however, is according to
the terms whereby the doctor managed
to get a church in the nations capital.
Considerable feeling, both for and
against DR.. Talmage, has been stirred
up The church is now in charge OF
DR.. Sunderland.
