VANCOUVER, B. c.. Sept. 6.-The
steamship Capitano, Capt. Powis, re-
turned this morning from Juneau, Dyea
and Skaguay. She brings down one
miner from Juneau, who is disgusted
with the outlook for getting into the
gold fields this fall Her cattle and
horses were landed safely, but Ameri-
can customs officials charged duty
of $50 on each horse. On the way down
the Capitano spoke the steamer Bris-
tol and the stern wheeler Eugene,
which left Victoria last week, at Alert
bay. The Eugene commenced leaking
soon after leaving Union. where it is
remembered she was seized for viola
ton of the Canadian customs regula-
tions, but got away by cutting her
hawser. 1t took the Bristol twenty
four hours to tow her back to Alert
bay. An attempt is being made to
patch her up, but the passengers refuse
to travel on her. They wanted to charter
the Capitano. but as she had passen-
gers for Vancouver Capt. Powis was
unable to assist them. He spoke the
steamer Tees, of Victoria, on the way
down, and doubtless she will go to
their assistance. The Capitano brings
no news of Importance from the North

OWATONNA, Mimi, Sept. GA bru-
tai murder was committed here last
night. The victim is young man,
twenty-five years old, named Joseph
Clark, who has grown UP here. While
there is no direct evidence to show
who struck the fatal blow, all the cir
cumstances seem to point to two young
men, who for some months have been
his companions. For some months
Clark, in company with, two younger
men named Hough and Morgan, have
been travelling about the country with
two women in q prairie schooner, .os-
tensibly trading horses. A short time
ago Clark and Morgan had a quarrel
here. resulting in blows, and they part
ed company. Hough and Clark re-
mained together, and Saturday morn
ing with three horses and the prairie
schooner drove up to the City hotel
barn and put up their horses leaving
the wagon in the yard. That afternoon
they went by rail to Waseca, return
ing Sunday morning. They were to-
gether most of the day, and in the
evening between and 10 o'clock went
into the hotel yard when they saw the
4y
ing to sleep in the schooner, in the bot
tom of which there was mattress,
and they shortly afterwards went into
the wagon, and the last that was
heard of them, that night. they Were
talking together about : 10:SQ,ios This
mornig about 10 o'clock the landlord
of the hotel was attracted by heavy
breathing in the wagon and looking IN
saw a man dying there, his face COW
cred with blood and a pool of blood
on the ground beneath the wagon. The.
city marshal was at once sent for, and
a doctor was summoned. When they
examined the man, who proved to be
Clark, it was found that there was
frightful wound in the side of his head,
and his ear was cut through. He was
unconscious. The murderouS blow had
evidently been given with blunt in
strument when the man was asleep.
There was no evidence of any struggle,
and he appeared never to have moved
after the blow was dealt There was
no trace of his companion nor any sign
of any instrument with which the blow
was dealt. His body was taken to a
doctors office near by, where he lay

and Morgan was Immediately institut-
ed and Morgan was arrested about 3
o'clock. He denies any knowledge of
the crime Hough was later arrested
at Waseca and brought back to Owa-
tonna. The girls who had been with
them were arrested in hotel in town
and locked up. They7lay the crime to
Hough, who they say had threatened
to do Clark up. The fact that HoIgh
was the last man seen With Clark ard
that he went to bed with him and left
so suddenly is considered here conclu-
sive evidence that he is guilty of muir
dering his companion, and it is believ-
ed that Morgan was his accomplice.
All the parties are residents here and
have long been regarded as tough

cARpIVAL OF CRIME
SKAGUAY ONE OF THE WORST
MINING CAMPS ON THE
RECORDS.
TOWN is TO BE RAIDED.
GAMBLERS, WHISKY SMUGGLERS
AND CRIMINALS IN THE GREAT
MAJORITY.
COMBINED To BLOCK THE TRAIL.
The Object i'm view to Fleece Pros
pectOrs Waiting to Get Over
White Pass.

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 6.-The au-
thorities of Alaska have awakened TO
the serious condition of the White pass.
They see in the continuance of the
camp at Skaguay, as now constituted,
possibilities for crime and various 9TH
er evils of great magnitude. Steps
have been taken to break up the camp
by dispensing. the lawless element that
has gathered there from every state In
the Union. Col. F. S. Chadbourne, state
harbor commissioner, of California,
who was passenger on the steamship
Queen, brought down advices to the
above effect Col. Chadbourne says
that Collector Ives and force of dep
uty United States marshals had deter
mined to raid the town of Skaguay,
and clean out the whisky smugglers
and saloon men and rid the camp of
the disorderly element.
Heretofore, the authorities have been
utterly unable to cope with the disor-
derly people in the camp. 1t was the
refuge of the worst class Of criminals,
confidence men and thugs on the coast.
These, with the whisky men, had COM
hined to block the trail so as to keep
the tenderfeet there all winter, and
fleece them as long as there was a
dollar left in the camp.
Serious as is the situation at SkaS-
uay and White pass as portrayed by
letters and men returned from the
camp, disconsolate and appalling as is
the condition over the trail over the
mountain barrier between the 5000 gold
hunters and the paradise on the other
side, the accounts published from time
to time seem to have but family por
trayed the actual state of affairs.
Made desperate by their failure to get
over the trail and by the terrible hard
ships that they have been compelled
to endure in the hopeless struggle
against the odds of the past weeks. the
miners have become suspicious of each
other and quarrels are of hourly oc-
currence. Every mans hand is raised
against every other man. The lawless
characters are much in evidence, and
dissensions and discords have broken
out among the miners until such q
thing as cooperation is impossible.
Gov. Brady is quoted as saying that
the situation is laden with trouble and
that he intends notifying the depart
ment at Washington of the condition
of affairs. In spite of the attempts Of
the miners committee to close the
trail, with drawn revolvers and loaded
rifles, announced their intention of go
ing through to the summit. They pass
ed a guard of miners and set out for
the summit. The committee was called
together and a number of armed men
sent to head them off. If trouble is
averted it will be by the greatest good
luck. Men have lost all sense of reason
and a spirit of desperation and reckless
obliviousness to consequences perVades

WEST SUPERIOR. Wis, Sept. 6.-The final
issuance of the warrant for the arrest of
Charles H. Gill, ex-treasurer of the town of
Superior, caused surprise in political circles
1t is said by some of Gill's friends that the
ex-terasurer has gone South for his heath,
and that he will return willingly and without
the escort Of the sheriff. Gill is charged by
Jacob Erickson, the new treasurer, with the
embezzlement of 900 of the town of SUI
perior's funds, entrusted to him by virtue of
his office. The real amount, however, is
stated not to be so large, as Gill has shown
receipts for about 900 of the towns cash.
When Erickson was elected to succeed Gill,
Gill refused to deliver the records, claiming
Erickson secured a writ of mandamus and
Gill, still refusing or neglecting to turn over

ONE PASS OPEN.
Route. Via ChiIcoot Practicable for
Gold Seekers.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Sept 6-The
steamers City of Kingston, Farralon,
Elder, Rosalie and Queen have brought
upwards of 300 people from the sound
ports and San Francisco, together
with horses, cattle, sheep, etc, during
the past few days, carrying about the
entire cargo in each instance to Dyea,
or Skaguay Those landed at Dyea
are getting over the Chilkoot pass all
right, but none as yet have got over
the White pass via Skaguay. Many
horses have been ruined by the mire,
and the men know that they cannot
get through, so that many have had
their goods carried around to Dyea,
but is is expensive, and a large portion
of the army of travellers have no money
for such purposes, and just what such
outfits are going to do is mystery.
They are now eating up supplies which
they expected to use in the Yukon
country and when their stores have
been exhausted they have no funds to
provide more. A winter outfit for
going into the interior is quite a differ
ent proposition from what these peo-
pie have at present.
Juneau merchants have sent up
stock of goods to sell at Skaguay, and
a small amount of lumber has gone up,
SO that few ShackS can be erected,
but the inmates OIL lne HunureQS OF
tents are but slightly provided to with
stand the fierce winds and storms Of
the country. Quite number have
turned back without allowing their out
fits to be taken off the boat bringing
them up, and many are dropping out
from the camp, coming to Juneau, and
finally returning to the United States.
In Juneau, at present, there are quite
a number of well-known mining men
who are desirous of procuring for the
Eastern markets some mining prop
erty of Southeastern Alaska. An i'm
portant sale was made last week of a
group of mines at Hunter bay, Ad-
miralty island.

Upper Lake Traffic Heavy.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Sept. 6.-The
August report of the Sault canals again sur
passes any preceding month in the history of
lake navigation with a total of 1882, ,3O9 tons
of freight, and this despite the fact that only
10000 tons of coal went through, as against
an average this time of year of nearly three
times that much. The total for the month is
which was the record month In all this
year almost II, 900 tons have been taken
through the canal, and the preponderance of
iron ore traffic is shown by the fact that
nearly 7.000,0G tons of this was ore. Had the
wheat and coal traffic been as large as usual
the total business to date would have been
several million tons greater than it was.

plant the companies contended that
they were losing money in the state,
and that any reduction in rates would
be confiScatory. 1.-THE commission
claims that the roads Fare operating
at a profit in South DAKOTA. The dis
crepancy arises over a. disagreement
between the commission ana the COM
panies on the division of profits. The
commission claims that not enough
credit is given to South Dakota for
the through business originating iii
this state. The Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul claims to have lost $4,044.-
00S.04 in South Dakota lines in the last
five years. The Chicago Northwestern
claims to have lost $699, ,55O16 during
the same period The commissioners
say that this loss is not real, but is
the result of artistic bookkeeping.
Judge Garland, of the federal court,
said that he did not care to go through
the evidence and to listen to the an
nual reports until he was satisfied that
the bill of the company was sutflclen1-

One of the Two Brothers Who Were
Pioneer Lumbermen.

IAOhtcE
Special to the Globe.
NEW RICHMOND, Wis, Sept. g.
Silas Staples, an old and highly re-
spected citizen of this city, was found
dead in bed yesterday morning. De-
ceased was an elder brother of Isaac
Staples, of Saltwater. In an early
day these two brothers came West
from the state of Maine, and, with
some experience as lumbermen on the
Penobscot. they commenced to carve
out their fortunes.
Mr.. Staples settled in Hudson, Wis,
and followed the numbering and mill
ing business Twenty-eight years ago
he removed to this city and continued
in the milling business on Apple river.
A few years ago he sold out and re-
tired from active business.
Mr. Staples was a prominent Odd
Fellow and also a member of the
Knights of Pythias, under the joint
auspices of which lodges he will be
buried in Hudson on Tuesday after
noon.
