successor will not be bound by his
action. Mckinley will be president and
will administer the executive depart
ment as he sees fit"
1t may be cruel to have to tell the
boys, standing out in the cold and
looking in at the windows with en-
vious eye upon the glowing CRATE
fires and the genial comfort prevailing
within, that the probabilities are that
the executive bar across the hall door
will not be taken down for them, in
spite of Grosveno~ and his learned
lawyer. First there are other equally
learned lawyers that hold that a dele
gated power, once executed, is beyond
recall by the delegate. Next, the soon
to-be president is more ~regardful, a.
a shrewd politician, of the votes of the
very much larger number of influential
voters who approve the extension than
he is of the relatively small number of
the cold-toed boys out in the cold. He
knows. too, that the latter are a docile
lot, used to the party lash, and rarely
5iNCh I uSlHS THEIR mouths IOr any
purpose more dangerous than growl-
Ing. But one out of each hundred Of
h hungry crowd could get a seat
by the fire any way, and, as the
front door opens now to merit, what
would be served by going back to OBJ
solete methods?
But the strongest support Of this
probability lies in the recent expert
ence of the president-elect with only
that superior crowd who want the
larger offices, cabinet seats, foreign
missions, consulates, collectorships, and
so on. We borrowed the other day
that lurid picture sketched by a
friendly hand, Of the crowd that has
thronged the Canton house ever since
election, and finally drove the poor
man to a sick bed by their p~ertinacity
and persistence in forcing upon him
their claims and demands. We have
his physician, now that he is conva-
lescent, prohibiting q repetition Of this
soul and body w~earying strain in the
interval before the inauguration. We
do not believe that Mr.. Mckinley, when
seated, will care to multiply a thou
sandfold the numbers Of the ravening
crowd by taking down the bar Presi-
dent Cleveland has ~interposed between
their appetites and presidential duties.

Herr Wolff when arrested yesterday
in the Reichstag resisted with such
energy that he broke away a portion of
his seat. 1t took six Constables to over
power him. Twice he sprang out of the
cab in which he was being carried TO
the police station, and as it drove Off
with him at a furious pace, he shouted
to the crowd: People of Vienna, don't
let your Deputy Wolff be arrested"
The Constables thrust him back into
the cab and threw a mufI1er over his
mouth and held it there. There is no
doubt that this arrest, together with
the fact that the Luegerites yesterday,
seeing that the popular discomfort was
ra pidly growing, abandoned their fierce
attitude and espoused. the obstruction

brought the sudden turn OF events.

TACOMA, Nov. 2S.-The ''Ledger's"
special correspondent at Skaguay met
the members of the Dalton party, who
just came out from Dawson City, head
ed by Jack Dalton, Joe w. Boyle Of
Woodstock, Ont, and W. c. Gates,
known as Swift Water Bill" Other
members of the party are Fred Eckert
Milton Huckins, H. r. Raymond, John
Brauer and Bert Nelson, all of Seattle
Harry Robertson of Tacoma, and ma
tive by the name of Indian Charlie, as
we'll as several other men who started
out in a separate party.
When interviewed concerning present
conditions at Dawson City and other
interior points, Mr.. Dalton stated that
gold is plentiful but food very scarce.
He does not however, believe that actu-
al starvation will, in many instances,
occur, but has no doubt that much pri-
vation will exist There is some feel
ing against the two large companies
operating there on account of their in
ability to cope with the situation sue
cessfully.
1t is reported by Mr.. Boyle that when
the Marguerite came up the Yukon in
September she was unable to proceed
with her full cargo beyond Fort Yu-
kon, and left there most of the flour
aboard bringing into Dawson a large
amount of whisky, presumably for the
purpose of netting larger profits than
on the flour. A still further shortage
has been caused at Dawson owing to
the fact that when the Bella came up
from ST Michael during the first week
in October she was stopped at Circle
City by nearly 200 armed men and
forced to leave the larger part of her
cargo there.
Captain Hanson Of the Alaska Com
mercial Company then went to Daw-
son, called a meeting and advised all
men with sufficient supplies to start for
Fort Yukon, 323 miles below Dawson
and about fifty miles below Circle City.
The mounted police were authorized
TO force the departure of the men with

to Handle KIondike Business.

PORTLAND, Nov. 2S.-B. Campbell,
general traffic manager Of the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Company,
who has just returned from an extended
trip East, in speaking of the prospect
i've rush to Alaska in the Spring said:
Present indications in the East are
favorable for large number of gold
hunters to the klondike next year,
which will begin in February. The va
rious railway lines are issuing special
advertising matter and making other
preparations to handle the business.
There are good indications also for
fairly large emigrant travel next year
to the Northwest. Information of the
large crops the past season has reached
the East, and it will result in some
movement among the agricultural
classes.
