Late Arrivals Say There Ii No Danger OF
Starvation.
SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 30. - The
steamer Alki arrived here at p. NJ,
bringing advices from Dawson City up
to Nov. 70. The Alki's passengers in.
cluded 80 persons who left Dawson be-
tween Nov. % and %. All, without
exception, say there will be no starva-
ton at Dawson this winter or next
spring. When informed of the action
being taken by the United States gov
eminent to send a relief expedition,
they said it was unnecessary and I'M
called for. Several thousand men have
gone from Dawson to Fort Yukon
where there is an unlimited sup
ply of provisions. Those remaining in
Dawson have three regular meals day
and have enough supplies in sight to
last well along into spring. No sick
ness is reported at Dawson. Near ~ all
those who arrived on the steamer Alki
were at Dawson City only about three
months, having started in with the first
rush in tho latter part of July. They
came out to purchase their outfits for
next season. The Alki's passengers
brought out. it is estimated, about
$3.50. coo in dust and nuggets.
E. Darlington, one of the passengers
on the Alki, speaking of the situation
of the miners IL the Klondike said:
''There is 70 need of anyone worry.
ing over their friends starving. OF
course, provisions are not plentiful and
supplies should be taken in in the
spring, after which time all the provis.
ions in the country will be exhausted"
Speaking of the rush to file Gains
Mr. Darlington said:
For some time before left, the
commissioners Office was unable to &C.
commodate the miners, and the men
stood in line for days with the mercury
40 below, in order to file claims.
''The biggest sensation in the way Of
a strike was No. 43, ON Hunker. 1,
paid $45 to the pan. If it had not been
for the exodus to Fort Yukon, 100
claims would have been worked on
Bonanza, Eldorado and Hunker creeks
this winter.

Iowa School House Destroyed Because of

WEBSTER CITY, Ia, Dec. 30.-The
Ulysses school, south of this city, was
burned by order of the board Of direc-
tors. This is the third season that
diphtheria has broken out in the school
when it appeared no place else in the

in saying the disease had been carried
to the school by rabbits, many of which
burrowed under the building and made
it their home. Last winter the rabbits
were driven away and the house
thoroughly renovated, but they came

THE NEW APHRODITE.

THE NEW APHRODITE.
Out Of the deep sea stream,
Into the light and the air,
Rose like gracious dream
Venus, the fair yEs
How much of sorrow and rue,
How much of Joy and peace,
Sprang that day from the blue
Waters of Greece!
oh, from Gyclad's verge
Or swift galley's PROV to have seen
Her, the world wonder, emerge,
Yelled in the sheen
OF her glorious sea dripping locks.
Buoyant of limb and as bright
AS the sole star that leads out the flocks
OF the shepherdess Night
But what avails it to sigh
For glimpse Of that day withdrawn,
Not for long in the sky
Stays the fair dawn.
Ours the nobler lot
Under the broad noontide,
Gazing, to falter not.
Till from the wide
Ocean Of life we behold,
Rising in splendcr and might,
Fairer than Venus Of old,
Calmer than Night,
Purer than Dawn or the blue
Depths Of ether untrod,
Nature, the only, the true
Daughter Of God.

These senators took the position that each
Government was the judge of Its own rights In
such cases. Senator Dayis also spoke at some
length In opposition to the request OF the Secre-
tary. IL was shown that this country had never
given up its own citizens. aud the senate held
that the language asked for was unnecessary.
At the conclusion OF the debate no formal

The general treaty Of arbitration between this
