Joseph Ladue in Consultation With the
President and Secretary Alger.
5000 MEN ON HALF RATlONS,

That VIII BE the Situation Winter
According to the Alaska PIoneer-waI
Department Advices Are More Encour-
aging - The Government's Reindeer
May BE Utilized in Forwarding Supplies
WASHINGTON, D. G. (Special).--Joseph
Ladue, the Alaska pioneer, who came to
Washington to consult with Secretary Alger
about methods for the relief OF the destitu-
ton which he and others who comprehend
the situation believe will overtake those
who have crowded into the Kiondike with
out adequate supplies, called on President
Mckinley. He was presented by Secretary
Alger. The President discussed the situa-
Hon with Mr.. Ladue, and appeared deeply
Interested in his suggestions for the relief
OF the Klondlkers.
Mr.. Ladue estimates that there are about
5000 people In the Klondike. n that there
are provisions for only about 5000. He
thinks the idea OF attempting to arrange
for Ice engines for carrying supplies down
the Yukon Is utterly impractieable, owing
to the fact that when the river freezes the
Ice In the centre Is forced mp. forming great
hillocks. He believes that al! persons who
have not sufficient provisions aud who can
return to st. Michael before the river freezes
should do 30.
He says TINT navigation will not close for
a month, and he advises hat n courier be
dispatched Immediately across Chilkoot
Pass to Klondike to urRe all who can to
embark on the last outgoing steamer. This
suggestion will probably be adopted. In
addition he advises the establishment Of
stations along Chilkoot Pass with dog
trains for conveying relief supplies. Before
leaving the White House Mr.. Ladue pre-
sented Mrs. Mckinley n half-ounce nugget
OF virgin gold. Secretary Alger also 70.
cetved a souvenir Klondike nugget.
Secretary Alger said after the interview
that no steps would be taken looking to
relief OF the miners In the Klondike until
after navigation closes and the Government
learns through Captain Ray, who Is at st.
Michael, h exact situation. Secretary
Alger has received q telegram expressing
the opinion that the four steamers now go
Ing up the Yukon carry ample provisions
for all persons now In Dawson City and
the vicinity. II they arrive safely perhaps
there will be no necessity for any relief
measures. II not, It Is possible that Mr..
Ladue's suggestion for dog trains across
the Chilkoot Pass may be accepted.
Secretary Bliss has instructed the Com
missioner OF Educationto have the reindeer
now at Teller Station. Alaska, which have
been broken to work, forwarded to st.
Michael to be held there for use In forward
Ing supplies to the Klondike country in case
OF emergency. There are about eighty OF
the reindeer which, It Is believed by the Adj
ministration, can be utilized in this way,
and the opinion prevails that they would
be much more useful than dogs, because
they travel more RAPIDLY, draw more, and
can live on the little forage the country
produces. The Secretary says that each
eindeer will carry about 800 pounds and
will travel a hundred miles a day. .
