Law of Associations Bill Rejected--Fears
10 Dissolve the Chamber.
BERLIN, July 26. Probably not since
the days of Prince Bismarck has there
been such an impartant sitting OF the
lowC% house of the Prussian diet as
was that of Saturday. In order to un-
derstisld the importance of the division
taken it must be remembered that the
lower house of the diet does not contain
single socialist member, and therefore
the law of associations bill was rejected
OH its merits by body of men, who, al
though radicals, are as patriotic and
loyal as the trainers of the measure.
Concerning the attitude of the public
it is sufficient to say that the crowd
only cheered the arrival of members
well known as resolute opponents of the
bill.
The general comment is that only a
Bismarck could have pushed such bill
through and the outlook is not promis-
ing for the emperor's new man.
DIR. MIGUEL said he believed the gov
ernment will not dare to dissolue the
chamber for fear that an appeal to the
country will still further reduce their

town, and near the waterworks. Foulke
got out some quartz rock, heavily
charged with sylvanite. The rock
showed some fine gold. 1t was brought
to town and tested. Some of the syl-
vanite was roasted and brought out
great gold nuggets. News of this dis
covery quickly spread, and within few
hours there was rush to the new dig.
gings. A dozen claims were taken up
before night, and the whole of Silver
Cliff seems to be going to the scene Of
the find. The new camp is directly be-
tween the Zoo and Rattlesnake noun

San FRANCISCO, July 26.-The desire
of the gold-struck throng to reach the
diggings in the Klondyke district re-
sembles for all the world the craze of
the Westerners to reach California in
''the days of old and land of gold"
There is little or no method in this long
ing of the masses to reach the Eldorado
in the great unknown territory of the
Northwest.
People who have had no experience in
mining, or have undergone none of the
hardships incident to such journey
as will follow trip to the Yukon coun-
try are clamoring for passage and strain
ing every nerve to secure funds neces-
sary on which to make the trip. Many
are making sacrifices in order to visit
the land that promises so much. Every
steamship Office in this city is
Literally Overrun With People
seeking information concerning the

money do not hesitate to pay for the
passage, trusting, in many Instances, to
good luck to give them food on which
to subsist the coming winter. The Ex-
celsior, which leaves on Wednesday
next, has full passenger list, but big
bonuses are being offered every day for
a berth in the vessel. The steamer Um-
atilla left during the morning with 200
passengers and full cargo of provis-
ions. She goes to Port Townsend, where
she connects with the City of Topeka,
sailing direct to Juneau. The Topeka,
which is scheduled to leave Seattle early
next week, has already more passengers
than is permitted by law. The same is
true of the George W. Elder, which is
scheduled to leave July 80. The people
at Seattle are
Begging the Steamship Officers
to provide them with transportation.
The steamer Cleveland, chartered as an
extra vessel by the Northwestern Trad
ing company, sailed during the night
for Seattle, where she will discharge
part of her cargo and take on supplies
and passengers for Alaska. About half
of her passenger list from this city is
booked for Alaska and she will be full
to the limit, leaving Seattle for the
North, it is probable, with 500 passen-
gers.
More people are anxious to go to
Alaska and the Yukon country than
can possibly be accommodated at the
present time. 1t is believed by many
that the vessels now fitting at San
Francisco and destined for Dawson City
by way of St. Michaels will not reach
the former place before the freeze up.

PITTsBURG, July 26.-Sixty deputy
sheriffs have been ordered out in con-

were supplied with Winchester rifles
and dispatched to the New York and
Cleveland company mines. The request
for deputies, it is said, came from Mr..

from the direction of McKeesport
and the Youghiogheny district.
Another march on Canonsburg
was begun during the evening.
A big meeting of the miners was
held at Reissing at 3 o'clock. They were
informed that the Allison mine intend
ed to resume work, and in a very short
time it was decided to make another
tramp across the country and reinforce
the 100 strikers that have been on guard.
Before evening more than 500 deter
mined men from Cecil, Reissing and
Bridgeville were mobilized at L. ilge-
vile. Shortly after o'clock they start
ed on the march, with the American
flag at their head. Nearly all the men
carried dinner pail, and they looked
