The drift OF people on the streets last
night was toward TIE YesIer wharf where
= crowd % Yakoners was waiting to take
the steamer city OF Kingston for Veto
ria there 10 be transferred TO Capt John
Iryings steamer Islander. The Islander
viii gail today from Victoria for Dyea and
Skagnzy. the nss sogsry OF her passengers
being from Seattle. The last good-by 20
those from this city was said when the
local contingent boarded the Kingston. Il
did not seem so hard 10 weeping wives
and mothers 70 see their husbands and
SONS departing on a Sound boat for a
Sound port. Probably many q sorrewing
woman whispered ccnsohngiy TO her
heart, He's only going 10 Victoria" Bat
&c was really the long parting. and no
amount OF feminine sophissry could cis-
gnise the fact.
The wait on yesler wharf was weary.
The Kingston was expected TO leave for
Victoria about $50 o'clock. but the crowd
was compelled TO wait until after mid
night. Much time was consumed in load
Ing 80 tons of freight and 100 horses. The
Kingston has been doing rushing busi-
ness for the last three or four days, and
has had such an amount of freight 10 ham
die that 4 has been matter Of difficulty
To keep her on schedule.
The Islander viii have over 900 passen-
gers when she leaves Victoria tomaerow.

Dyea- Il il fact that by the United
States shipping law the collector a. Dyea
would have the right to collect duties on
every pound Of dutiahie goods landed
from the Islander. That II Will be done
is not thought probable. and 4 any event
the passengers would not suffer. as the
tax would be carried by Capt. Irving. The
ingoing prospector Is confronted with the
possibility OF another customs collection
when he reaches the borderiand OF Brit
ish territory. within which lie the rich
Clondyke discoveries. Here again there Is
small probability that the duty will be en-
forced, the small force OF twenty-five or
more mounted police stationed In the
Northwest Territory being light power
to contend against rush of hundreds of
excited fortune hunters
A list OF those going from here Is as
follows.
