Perils Of the K1oqdyke.
Physical Endurance and Cash two Absolute
Those Who Would Succeed Diggngs.
Special Correspondence Of the Globe

Special Correspondence of the Globe,
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. blinded
by the glamor of gold those possessed
of the Klondyke fever are not inclined
to stop and think of what they must
do to reach the desired point and
what they must face when once they
arrive. The man who goes from the
East to the Klondyke to become a
miner, should have $1,000 as a capital
to pay his expenses in and to last him
for time there.
The vast majority of those who go
to the new Eldorado are, of course,
goldSeekers. The proportion is esti-
mated at about one hundred to one in
favor of the Would-be miners. Persons
who visit the diggings for the purpose
of engaging in business should have
sufficient cash so that when all ex-
penses in are paid, they will have at
least $3.50 remaining. These figures
are not pessimistic, but are gained
from men who have experienced the
difficulties and dangers that conffont
those who Seek the diggings. They
may be depended on as absolutely cor
rect.
There are three routes open to the
traveller. One is by sea from San Fran
cisco to Juneau. the second is by sea
from this point to Juneau, and the
third is from here to Juneau overland,
by far the most dangerous journey of
the three. The latter trip is by way
of the famous Chilkoot pass. From
San Francisco it takes about six weeks
to reach the Klondyke, and 1900 miles
must be traversed before the objective
point is gained. First-class passage
by steamer costs $3.50 and second class
$25 less. Travellers by these steamers
cannot take IN a supply of provision
for the company owning the line itself
sells provisions to the miner and there
fore limits the amount of baggage to
$50 pounds, effectually disposing Of any
possibility Of the miner carrying other
than absolute necessities.
Nevertheless, the wise emigrant will
choose such route to go into the
Klondyke as will enable him to carry
provisions for at least six months II
not more. He can purchase in Seattle
for, say 500, what would cost him in
the klondyke, over and above all his
expense Of getting his provisions in,
at least $500. The stock Of provisions
Is not elaborate that he needs. Here
for instance is what one miner took
in with him, and made it last very
comfortably for eight months: 125
pounds of beans, the same of bacon,
500 pounds of -four, eight pounds Of
tea and forty-ive of coffee, $50 pounds
of sugar, the proportIonate amount of
salt and pepper, and the few articles

of claim right on the river that the
boys called Blue Richness 1 think
the old man said he came from Massa-
chuSetts. He was quiet, peacable
old man, minded his own business and
paid no attention to anybody. But after
he commenced work on his claim

struck So dirt. That means that every
pan Of dirt he washed out had So worth
of gold in it.
There is lot or mean sons Of guns
up here that when they think man
that will be run off has got a good
thing. they just try to run him off.
So one night two or three Of these fell
lows went to the old mans tent,
showed their guns in the faces of him
and his boy. and told them If they
didn't get off that claim within TWEEN
ty-four hours they would get shot.
The old man wouldn't say anything to
them at all, so one of them owned up
afterward, but just lay there, and the
boy, he kept quiet, too.
The old man, whose name was Hen
ry Williams, talked it over with his
boy. and between them they agreed
that they would stick it out. So they
took turns lying awake and watching
for the claim jumpers. Three or four
nights afterward the jumps came.
The boy was asleep and the old man
on watch. Before the old man knew
what had happened they had shot him
in the shoulder. The boy heard the
shot and out he jumped, with a gun
in each hand, dropped two of the fell
lows that were after them quicker
than a wink, and wounded another
The fourth man was so scared he ran
away without firing a shot. Then the
boy fixed the old man up a little and
came down into the town and told
what had happened.

come to the Klondyke, and the fellows
that break their necks getting in here
in August and September won't be any

DURG DISTRICT STRIKE.
Believe Increased Demand for Coal
an OppOrtuMe Time to de-
mMnd Justice.

Pittsburg, July 5.--Industral cults are
much excited over the developments in
the situation among several important
trades. On the verge of the declaration
of the coal miners Of the Pittsburg dis.
trict to take the lead in the general sus.
pension of the coal mining industry,
came the concession of the Tin Plate
Manufacturers Association to the Anal
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers. The miners officials here say
that idleness will prevail in the major
ity of all the rail and river mines in the
Pittsburg district. They claim that the
struggle for higher wages will be of short
duration, and that by reason of the great
demand for coal, the late trade nj this
season of the year, they will be granted
an advance before the operators lose large
contracts for future delivery Of coal. The
miners officials claim that conservative
estimate fixes the number of men who
will strike in Pennsylvania. West Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois at 2OO,-
600. They hope to increase tins number
as the strike grows.
lhe tin plate workers are jubilant
over the concessions adopted by the
manufacturers. 1t is estimated that
5000 skilled workmen will resume Tues
oay morning. Nearly all the tin plate
manufacturers in the Pittsburg district
have orders enough to keep their plants
running for the next two months.

The coal miners of the Pittsburg dis

better wages, which promises to be one
of the longest and most bitterly contest

OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.


Columbus. Ohio. July 1.-The demo
cratic state convention held here yestcr
day was one OF the most memombl po-
litical occasions in the history of Ohio.
1t was Il convention of unanimity of prin-
ciples and differences on men, and espec
tally on those who were candidates for
the places ON the state ticket. In the
contest for favorites it was a test Of en-
durance, and the delegates took no recess
and We're in session continually from 10
II. III. until late hour at night. 1t was
free silver convention throughout. Every
candidate whose name was presented was
announced as orthodox on silver, and the
silver doctrine was the cardinal principle
for favorable consideration. While there
were some differences Of opinion about
adopting the antitrust and the Cuban
resolutions, there was not dissenting
voice in the convention to the free and
10 to | without the cooperation of any
other nation. And the name of w. j.
Bryan was mentioned in some way by
every speaker as the only sure way Sof
bringing out a chorus of applause.
While there was no place on the state
ticket accorded to silver republicans or
populists yet both elements co-operated
in the convention and an informal fusion
was temporarily perfected. The silver re-
publicans and populists are responsible
for having no representatives on the tick
ct, as they would not ask it, and stated
they We're more interested in the platform
than in the offices.
The ticket nominated by the democ.
racy of Ohio is:
Governor-Horace l.. Chapman.
Lieutenant governor Helville ID
Shaw.
Attorney general-W. II. Dore.
State treasurer--James +. Wilson.
Member board of public works-PeteI
II. Degman.
School cOmmissionerB. II. Hard.
In addition to the state ticket nomi
mated there is an implied arrangement fo
John Mclean for senator, with the stat,
candidates as well as the party organiza
ton for him.
The silver republicans held confer
ence at night and expressed Indignation
They said it was true they had announc
ed they did not want place on the stat
ticket, but the announcement was no
made until after they were told the,
could not have it. They nominated
separate ticket. The populist also All
nounced they would hold state conven
ton and have separate ticket. The pre-
hibitionists will have separate ticket, $
there will be at least six state tickets i
the field.

county Ill tne WOrIu. Teller commended
If the finance committee was looking for
revenue, from $2O,OOO,OOO to $50 900, 900
could be obtained by reduction of the
internal revenue tax on whisky to the old
rates. Or even lower. His argument was
That the high tax of $l.lO IA gallon. which
was in reality tax of 1900 per cent,
stimulated illicit distilling. Teller charg-
ed that wood alcohol makers were close
ly connected with one of the great trusts
in fact one OF the great manufacturers of
wood alcohol was owned by Il trust. Il
might as well name it, said he. "a. Is the
sugar trust, which has boosted mat it
possessed strength enough to prevent
wood alcohol from being placed on IA foot
ing with grain alcohol and of preventing
Il reduction of the tax ON distllied spirits.
The distillers of spirits have been threat
ened. They had been told: "Gentlemen.
if you interfere with wood alcohol we will
reduce your bonded period to nothing"
The whisky men feared the vengeance of
the powerful combination against them
Have we not the skill or have we not the
courage to take the $2O.OO0,OOO revenue
which is offered to us here!" asked Teller
Have we reached the point where the
American congress is powerless to do its
duty as it sees it
Lindsay Arraigned the Trusts.
Lindsay followed with a severe ar
raignlnent of the wood alcohol trust,
which he said was reaping millions II
year by the duty of $3.50 per gallon on
its product on the one hand. and the high
interllal revenue tax which it did not
have TO pay on the other.

Spooner defended his amendment,

port submitted to him. The commission
would furnish information. which hc
hoped would have beneficial results.
White thought the proposed commits

amendment was declaration of the fail

Gallery criticised the methods of max

Allen contended that the populists par
