Blythe WAY OF CAPE HORN.
Maine Men To Sail for K1ondike From
Portland.

A party of twelve men, the majority OF
whom belong in Portland and the rest of
whom are residents of Maine, have organ
lied themselves into a company and will
sail from Portland for the Klondike gold
regions on January first. The names of
| nearly all of these men are known to the
PRESS but at their request they are
withheld as many of the men now occupy
good positions in this city or in other
places and are afraid that they may not
hold them as long as they wish to if their
plans are known by their employers.
The plans of these men to reach the gold
fields of Alaska are extremely novel and
if they carry out their intentions they
will make the long journey with little
cost to themselves and in comfort and
safety. They have secured a good vessel
for the trip and their departure will be
etakn from Portland. The vessel is bark
and is now in this harbor. She will be
fitted up and provisioned for the long
cruise and will carry besides other things
a large stock of those articles which will
meet with ready sale on the Alaskan
coast. The men themselves have SUBJ
scribed $4,000 each for this trip and are
to share and share alike in any of their
discoveries or ventures. Some of these
men and the leader of the expedition are
engaged in the dredging business now
and have had many years of experience in
this line of work. They understand the
method of dredging thoroughly and be-
lieve that by their system they can obtain
gold by the barrel full. In this bark
from Portland the party will carry light
dredging outfit and a steam launch in
sections SO that 1t can be put together as
soon as the vessel reaches the Yukon.
When they reach the river the boat build
ers, of whom there are two experienced
men in the crowd, will construct light
scow and after landing the barks cargo
and disposing of the vessel If possible,
the men will land part of the provisions
onto the scow and taking it in tow with
the steam launch will proceed up the
river. When they get in the gold regions
the dredging apparatus will be set to work
and the bottoms of the small creeks and
rivers will be explored. In this manner
the party hope to make their pile. They
are to carry along supplies enough to last
them for over a year and will have
enough more to dispose of at Klondike
prices to nearly pay the expenses of their
long trip around the Horn.
Leaving Portland on January first the
company of Maine men hope to reach the
gold country about spring time and be
ready to get up into the heart of the Klon-
dixie region as early as the best of them.
Apparently the plan is well arranged and
as all Of those who form the party are ex-
perienced men in their line of work, en-
bracing as they do nearly all of the use
full trades, they expect to come back to
this section of the country after few
years of hardship bloated bond holders
and millionaires.

Locating Hydrants for Use in Fighting
Fires.

Alderman Ilsley, chairman of the city
government committee on fire department
and Chief M. N. Eldridge were out Sat
urday morning locating MIGRANTS in the
eastern part of the city. Alderman Ilsley
did not believe that there were enough
hydrants in Ward l and has for a long
time been trying to secure some for his
ward Saturday he decided to have by
drants placed on Beckett and Morning
streets where formerly there were no n.y.
drants whatever. In all seven hydrsnts
were placed in Ward / and they will be
put in at once. 1t was Chief Engineer
Eldridges idea that hydrant should be
placed at the corner of Spring and
Vaughan street and so one was located in
that place and as soon as possible will be
put in. This week there arc to be other
hydrants located by Chairman Ilsley and
Chief Eldridge In other parts OF the city.

Bay State Populists Defeat the Middle of
the Road Faction.

the Road Faction.
Boston, September 1S.-The state con.
vention of the Peoples party which was
held here today resulted in the prolonged
battle between the fusionists and the
middle of the road delegates over the
former came out victorious by four votes.
No nomination for governor was made,
the convention deciding to leave the
choice of the candidate with the state
committee. This means that an attempt
will be made at fusion with the Demo
Gratis.
The convention which was called to or.
der by George F. Washburn of Boston,
chairman of the state central committee
moved along with clockwork regularity
and it was not until the report of the
committee on permanent organization
and the rules had been made until the
first words of dissension were heard. The
committee reported in favor Of e. Gerry
Brown of Brockton as permanent chair
man and f. johnson of Worcester as per-
manent secretary. The committee asked
that the chairman of each delegation be
allowed to deposit ballot for their entire
delegation. This brought forth strenu-
Gus objection from Albert Holland OF
Gloster on the ground that the delegations
might consist Of fusionists and middle of
the road men. He declared that it was
therefore essential that each delegate cast
his own ballot. The system which the
committee had presented he said was un.
American and WAS nOt fair and above
board. The speaker also objected to the
appointment of Mr.. Brown as permanent
chairman and said the temporary CHAIR
man, George F. Washburn could fill the
place very acceprably. The report of the
committee, however, was accepted.
