Brooklyn, April S.-Under discretionary

Black on Monday last, Comptroller Palmer
must decide whether it is his duty TO dis
pose OF 500 parcels of land in the odd
ward" occupied by the novels of the poorest

rent.
These tracts are worth about $500 900
They were acquired by the city in the
early SOS for delinquent taxes, and by
the recent act are subject 10 auction sale.
There is no particular reason why Comp
trolier Palmer should hesitate in his dis

settled upon it is considered most dis

whose most serious prospective hardships
on the trip would be a slight attack of sea
sickness, poorly cooked meal or bad
attendance. The others, those who go by
the mountain passes, have ever before
them the serious proposition as to how
they are to get 1000 paunds over one orthe
other of two mountain passes. one OF which

degrees, the other trail which, according
to last accounts, is in places a bog, with
the bottom at an unknown depth.
The rush is now for the first time fairly
on. Hotels are crowded with people from
abroad; the steamers which sail from now
on viii carry many more passengers from
the outside than from the State OF Wash

No steamer sails tomorrow except the

A letter received to-day from business
man in Connections qtates that people in
that State have the Klondyke lever as bad
as those in the West, and that many men
from Connecticut will go 10 the Yukon in
the spring.
Manager Charles Goodall of the Pacific
Coast steamship Company has returned
to San Francisco. Hs says:
The Pacific Coast Company is warning
every one not to go to the Yukon country
prior to next spring. We operate what
has been for some time the only regular
line of steamers 10 Southeastern Alaska.
We intend to rem ain on the route, and
therefore, do not want to have a nump
OF men give the country a partial trial, re-
turn disgruntled and advertise the land
in bad light. For several weeks people
have been rushing pell-mell over one an
other for Alaska, and the thirteen steam
ers, or thereabouts, bound for or that
have already reached SKagua and Dyea,
will land enough people at those near by
points to start respectable city.
81 fear congestion of freigh ht there and
believe many will have to pass the winter
on the rails. Ah, but wouldn't that great
body OF men present a magni hceut sight
sailing in vast fotilla down the northern
lakes and shooting down on the swift
bosom OF the Yukon, but don't believe
such will appear this fall. The river will
freeze, and as it banks the ice in mid
stream IN chaotic piles l have little hope
Of any one going through 10 Dawson on

The steamer City of Seattle has been

company, OF which Dodwell. Carvill & Co.,

Company's Oriental line, are mem bers.
The Seattle will sail for Dyea on August Is

pa ssengers, of whom oue-half will be first

be behind the steamers Edith and Rosalie.

''It was not necessary to esta blish port

the amount of freight, and there are no

not think that The action will be an

AS result of this opening of Dyea to all
foreign vessels, British Columb bia shipping
interests are having boom. Steamers
are leaving Victoria for Dyea overloaded.
and special charters for Dvea are being
engaged. Most of this traffic would have
gone TO the various regular and special
American lines and steamers. This greatly
assists the new Canadian tariff on miners
outfits in securing the outfitting trade to
Victoria merchants.
As the Yukon trade is large and is to be
much larger next year, local merchants
are taking more lively interest in secur-
inO San Era its 0f
business of the great Alaskan field, and

can gate to the YUKON, 10 foreign COM

stock, ou fits and general merchandise.
All day yesterday and to-day trucks and
express wagons have been streaming
down to the Northern Pacific ocean dock
loaded to their fullest capacity with out
fits for the Argonauts. As she is to carry
700 passengers, most of the men going
from this city will not depend entirely on
the steamer, but will take big tin boxes
filled with home-cooked food. Tin shops
are doing big business, making these
boxes to order.
