SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. Ga syndicate of

pericnccd man to Skuguny and Dyea to exam.
inc personally into affairs there and report on

great deal Of experience in prospecting and
packing in the Northwest Territory. was chosen
for this mission. lie returned to day and adj
vises that no movement be made till spring,
when 1t will be possible to accomplish the trip
with some degree of satisfaction.
To a Sun reporter he said that the miners
campcd at the passes we're tho craziest crowd
of men no ever saw outside of q lunatic asy-
lum, and II was his opinion that not more than
8 per cent. could get through. The whole trou-
bic was attributable to ignorance Of camp life
and packing over trails that had scarcely been
blnzed and were so narrow that two abreast
could not pass with safety. Tho system of
establishing camps along the trail and packing
from one to tho other had been the means Of de-
s%troying the pack animals and blockading tho
trail. Gross says the stories related by news
paper correspondents and others fail to picture
the true condition OF affairs now existing along
tho route, and the season Is now so far advanced
that the situation will become a great deal
worse before it gets better.
Gov. Brady considers the situation critical,
.ld 1t is stated by those who have seen him
that he purposes calling the attention Of the
Government to tho condition Of affairs. The
men have been made desperate by their failure
to get over the trail and by the hardships they
have been compelled to endure In the hopeless
struggle against heavy odds. They have be-
come suspicious OF ono another, and ouarrels
are frequent. Every mans hand is raised
against every other man. The lawlcss charac-
tiers are much In evidence, and discussions and
discords have broken out among the miners
until such a thing us co.ouerat!on is impossible.
The Territorial Marshal is reported TO be get
ting out u force of deputies to drive the crowds
OF smugglcrs, gamblers. and buncn men out of
Sknguay. This class has caused a great deal
of the present trouble at that place.
The steamers Rosalie and Alki sail tonight
for Alaska with fun passenger lists and large
cargucs. These smaller vessels are having nc
troalIo In obtaining all the business they can
LAndle, and are scarcely in port before they are
