ADVICE FROM LApuE.
Dawson City's Founder Consulted by
AIger

A1ger.
Washington, Sept. 20.-Joseph Ladue,
the founder of Dawson City, Alaska,
and Elmer e. BOtsford, who is identi-
fed with him in interests, arrived here
tonight for consultation with Secretary
AIger as to the best means to be
adopted for relieving the distress that
it is feared VIII result in the Klondike
gold fields the coming winter. Mr..
Ladue comes to the city at the special
request Of Secretary Alger. After their
arrival here they were called on by
Adjutant General Beck of the army
and arrangements were made for an
interview with the secretary in the
morning. Mr. Ladue estimates that
there are 5000 men in the mining re-
gion and unless at least 1000 of them
get away before the Yukon river is
frozen. they will starve during the COM
ing winter.
With transportation facilities ON the
Yukon taxed to the utmost provisions
for but 1900 persons can yet be landed
at Dawson City and Circle City The
other 1000 people viii have to leave.
The Yukon river, Mr.. Ladue says, is
still open to navigation and he thinks
the most feasible plan to warn the
miners of their impending danger
would be to despatch two couriers over
the Chilkoot pass The latter could
reach Dawson City before navigation
ON the Yukon closes.
Mr.. Ladue declares that the use of a
locomotive snow sled ON the Yukon, as
suggested by Secretary Alger, is i'm
practicable, as the ice is billy in forma-
ticin Nor could supplies be tal1em over
the ChiIkoot pass. The only other way
that Mr.. Ladue thinks that supplies
might get to Dawson City and Circle
City in limited quantities is to take
them via, Chilkoot pass-an entire over
land route. By establishing frequent
posts, provisions might be transported,
and all these suggestions will be made
to Secretary Alger at tomorrows con-
ference

Chicago, Sept. 20.--Eugene Debs at
tended a meeting of Branch No. of the
Social Democracy at Journal hall last
sss'undly e,a the incarldiary speeches of
THE preceding Sunday, Mr.. Debs told
them in plain language that he did not
favor the use of the dagger or the torch.
He said he did not advocate arson and
assassination. He Ie.ludianed the talk
of revolution. He declared that vio-
lance and bloodshed had no part in the
plans of Social Democracy. He said
the hcoe of Social Democracy lay IN
peaceful methods, and he pointed to the
ballot as the remedy for the evils com
planned of. He told the anarctaistic
element in plain terms that " would
better Withdraw fl1crn the organization.
The hail was crowded and Mr.. Dhbs
was frequently interrupted with ques-
tiIons. One questicnar, who asked if
Social Democracy was not virtually
anarchy, seemed to be hostile, but as q
