ON THE FRONTIER
BART of the British Force Cut
Off by Tribesmen.
WE'RE CONVEYING WOUNDED

compelled to Cut Their Way out-Their
Losses We're Heavy-The Enemy
Lost But Few.
simla, Dec. 16.-General Kempster's
bar guard, according to official lis
%,tcbes from the front, while transport
tng a number of wounded, was cut off
X the tribesmen near Sher Khel and
Ess obliged to intrench for the night.
In the moring there was severe fight
IDg, but the British finally rushed the
silage and dislodged the enemy.
The H~ighlanders lost four killed and
4 wounded, and there were several
casualties among the Sepoys before the
Hear guard of the British was finally
believed.
! General Westmaoott's brigade, ia
tbe march from the camp at Sher-Khel
Into the Sturi-Khel country, was in
6ntinuous action. The enemy closed
b. on the real guard and kept firing at
shOrt range with great spirit. The Brit
ksh losses were heavy, and Included
lieutenant West, of the Ghoorkas,
FhO wal killed, and Lieutenant Chap
ban, who was wounded. Two other
k4cers received injuries, and 40 men
.refe killed or wounded.
The whole march down the Dara val
lev since the 9th inst. has been marked
g inCessant fighting, but the force has
behaved admirably. The route was
Difficult in the extreme, through rain,
bud and snow. Along the river the
Uurse was impeded by ravines and
bowlders, and the icy-cold stream had
be forded knee-deep 20 times.
Twelve thousand transport animals,
With numerous sick and wounded, en-
numbered the progress.
The casualties yesterday we're about
b, and today about 10. The enemy
as been severely punished in the re-
tent encounter.
The disaster to General Kempster's
Year guard was due to the animals
becoming entangled in the rice fields
b dusk. To increase the difficulty,
he drivers and carriers opened kegs of
bum and became hopelessly drank.
Many of the followers were benumbed
the icy stream, and their feet were
bruised by the powders. Several men

STAMPEDE FAIRLY ON.
Fear-Mad Men Rush From Dawson and
Famine.

victoria, Dec. l5.-By the steamer
Topeka, from Dyea, news is received
that more than 1000 ill-provisioned
men stampeded from Dawson during
the latter part of October, and impelled
by the haunting fear of famine are now
madly forcing their way over the noun
tains.
AUX, the Indian mailcarrier who
brings this report, left the Yukon cap
ltal fully 10 days after the Dalton
party. He says the vanguard of the
terror-stricken army is following less
than a week behind him. AuE de-.
clares that fully 20 per cent of the
stampeding army will never live to re-
cite the terrOrs of their flight from the
North.
Dyea parties headed by George f.
inner hope to 60 to the relief of the
hungry men at Dawson. They will
make the United States government an
offer to deliver 80, 900 pounds of pro.
visions within so days after starting
Tor Dawson for the sum of SIS, 900.
They already have 90, 900 pounds Of
provisions cached at Lake Bennett,
which they will take into Dawson this
winter. Ulmer will go south by the
next steamer to lay his proposition be-
fore the secretary of wa by wire.
1t Is stated that material for the I o
posed railroad over Taku pass has been
shipped from the East.
The steamers Bella and Weare, it
now appears, did not land more than
100 tons of provisions on their arrival
in Dawson in the early part of Octo-
Der, owing to their having been held
up at Circle City.
The only bright view of the present
situation is that the trails crossing the
passes above Dyea and Skagway have
lately been greatly improved and with
in a month will be in excellent condi-
ton.

LIKELY TO BE LIBERAL.
Canadian Customs Regulations May Be
Modified.

Ottawa, Dec. ia meeting of the
Yukon committee of the cabinet was
held last night. Although no report
has been adopted by the committee, it
is understood that customs regulations
to foreigners entering the Klondike
will be made as liberal as possible.
The members of the committee and
of the cabinet recognize and appreciate
the handsome way in which the United
States government met the wishes Of
the Canadian government in establish
ing customs ports as Dyea and Skag-
way, to the great convenience of all
parties going to the interior. In many
other ways the kindness of the United
States government is being mentioned
in this connection as the work of the
committee is progressing.
The committee will recommend a
change in the size of claims, and also
the grouping of alternate claims.

Her Aim Was Good.

Sacramento, Dec. l5.-At an early
hour Sunday morning a burglar entered
the residence Of Sergeant of Police Nc
Manus and proceeded to ransack the
parlor. Mrs. McNIanus heard the bur-
elar at his work, but decided not to wake
her husband. She picked up a re-
volver from a table by the bed and
awaited developments. In a few mo-
ments the burglar reached the swinging
doors leading from the parlor into the
room adjoining the bedroom, and when
he opened the doors, she opened fire.
He made his escape, but the trail Of
blood left showed that her aim was
good.

TO KLONDlKE VIA CAPE HORN
seventy-Five Gold-seekers to Sail Frcm
New York.

New York, Dec. 16.-When the
steamship City OF Columbia sails down
the bay this morning for st. Michaels
she will have on board rs goldseekers
bound for the Klondike. Coal, provi-
sions and clothing are being hurried on
board, farewells exchanged and the last
touches added for the cruise of 10, 500
miles.
The voyage to Seattle will be made
in about 70 days, the officers say.
Four hundred more Klondikers will
board the Columbia at that point. Otto
E. Stoelcker, a nephew of ex-secretary
of the Navy Herbert. is in the party.
Captain Baker, who took the gunboat
Ell Cid to Ri de Janeiro during the
Brazilian uprising, is in command.
At st. Michaels the passengers will
be transferred to river steamers, and
the Columbia will return to Seattle.
This party expects to be the first into
Dawson City in the spring.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

tohice of Downing, Hopkins & Co, Chicago
Board ofTrade Brokers, 1l-7l4C Chamber of Conn
mcrce Building, Portland, Oregon.1
Light speculation was the dominating
factor in the wheat market last week.
Its force was felt more keenly than at
any time since prices left Ga cents five
months ago, The bear element is
working on the idea that all the bullish
influences have been discounted by the
advance in prices of SO cents from the
low point in the spring. Wheat that
cleared last week was all bought a
month or more ago, and prices were adj
vanced at the time. Now that the
stuff is moving out, the bulls think
that prices should continue to go up,
because the stuff is being delivered to
the buyers. The latter are not taking
hold as freely, but export sales during
the week were heavy. For three
months the market has backed and
filled around 90 cents for May, getting
. cents above il recently, and has been
2 cents below it. The bears have been
unable to maintain q break for more
than a day or two below 80 cents. De-
cember sold Az cents to II cents
premium over May. The position Of
the bulls and their intention are as
much of a puzzle as ever. They stand
ready to pay for 5000, 900 bushels of
wheat, and are very liable to get it be-
fore the first of the year. Elevator
people, however, are not disposed to
make any deliveries until navigation is
closed, as they want to keep the wheat
in their houses. The Letter party have
from 5000, 900 to 1000, 900 bushels
bought. There are also scattered lines
that will reach above 2, 900, 900 bushels
held by parties outside of the pool.
The claim is made that there is no
shortage, except on the part of the ele-
vator people. The latter have been
bringing wheat down from Duluth. 1t
is a deal that no one except rich men
can afford to be in. The bulls claim
that the wheat brought down from the
Northwest by the elevator people has
not shown any profit. If such is the
case, it seems rather strange that two
such shrewd business men as Armour
and Weare should be SO actively engaged
in it. Government report gives crop of
winter and spring wheat at $780, 900, 900
bushels. Visible supply of wheat de-
creased 1O1 900 bushels, and now totals
81, 744 bushels.

A LIGHT DAYS WORK.
Nothing of Importance Accomplished in
the House or Senate.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Mr. Lodge,
of Massachusetts, made an effort in the
senate today to secure an immediate
vote upon his immigration bill, which
is substantially the same measure that
was passed by the 54th congress and
vetoed by President Cleveland. Mr..
Allen, of Nebraska, objected to an i'm
mediate vote, and suggested that the
final vote on the amendments and the
bill be taken on hat day, January II,
at 3 P. M. This suggestion was accept
ed by Mr.. Lodge, and the order tor a
vote at that time was made.
Davis, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, called up the bill pro-
hibiting the killing of fur seals in the
North Pacific ocean, but on suggestion
of Pettigrew, who desired to offer
amendments, it went over until tomor-
row.
The bill granting settlers the right
to make second homestead entries Of
100 acres was passed.
Butler spoke at some length on his
postal savings bank bill. Such a sys-
tenn would, in his opinion, insure
greater comfort in the homes of the
plain people of the land, as a great ma
jority of them would certainly become
depositors in such banks. This would
cultivate among them thrift and econ
omy, and enable them to provide for
themselves in illness and old age.
