friends in San Francisco that there is grave
danger of famine on the Klondike this
winter. According to all reports received
from the upper country, it will be ilnpos-
sible to land sufficient food at Dawson City

dent upon that base of supplies.
X T. Lying, local agent of the Alaskan
Commerc al Company at st. Mchaers, de-
clares that there are already over 1000 idle
men in Dawson, ana new parties arriving
every day via Chilkoot pass, while the total
amount of freight landed there this year
will not exceed 1900 tons, of which not
more than three-fourths is provisions.
Miners returning from klondike who left
there in July report that the food was run
ming very low then and it was disposed of
as fast as discharged from the steamers.

WHITNEY'S ULTIMATUM.
EX-Secretary Tells Sheehan Chicago
Platform Must BE Ignored.

EX-Secretary Tells Sheehan Chicago
Platform Must BE Ignored.
A dispatch from New York says:
1t has leaked out that ex-Secretary
William c. Whitney gave Leader John c.
Sheehan Of Tammary Hall. big ultimatums
at an important consultation held at the
Hoffman House recently, regarding the
platform to be adopted for the Greater
New York mayoralty campaign.
II is said that after Whitney's dinner
to his sound money democratic friends at
the Metropolitan Club, Sheehan was call
ed upon to submit to him and his asso-
ciates 6 draft of a platform for the DEM
ocratic city convention. Sheehan submit
ted one that was a partial Endorsement of
the Chicago platform of 1896. 1t was in
the nature of a straCGle, 1t Is said, an eff
fort being made by Sheehan to satisfy
both the Bryan element of the New York
den ocracy, especially Tamnany Hall, and
the gold democrats, from whom Sheehan
and the others hope to have substantial
help.
Elk. Secretary Whitney not only did not
take kindly to this platform, but, II is
reported, plainly told Sheehan that If the
democrats in their city convention in any
way whatever Endorsed the Chicago plat
themselves democrats would support the
republican nominee for the Greater New
York mayoraity or they would support a
sound money democrat for the Office.
Sheehan, 1t is understood. is eagerly
awaiting the kindly advice Of Richard
back to New York. Meantime the rank
and file of the Tammany men insist that
there mrst be no departure from the Bry-
an free silver platform of July. 1896.
