Will be a Shortage Of Some Sup
plies, Such as Flour,
But a Great Abundance oi Meat and Plenty
Of Other Food.
Such is the Report Of T. Gardner
of Oconomow, Wisconsin, Who
Has Just Arrived at Tacoma
From Dawson, Having Left
That Place on November Attn.

TACOMA, Dec 23.-Among the pas
sengers from Dawson who came down
on the City of Seattle tonight are Col
onel Lamphere and M. p. Gregory OF
Chicago, d. p. Quinlan of Seattle, L.
Gardner of Oconomow, Wis, and L. 3.
Denny of Roslyn, Wash.
Quinlan, Gardner and Denny came out
from Dawson, having left that place
November 4th. They walked all the
way and carried their food on their
backs and sleds. They occupied little
more than forty days on the trip.
Mr.. Gardner says nobody is going to
starve in Dawson this winter. There
will be shortage of some supplies. such
as flour and coffee, but there is a great
abundance of meat and plenty OF other
food to last everybody in camp ali VIM
ter.
Mr.. Gardner and his companions made
the trip out without any trouble, al
though they struck some weather that
sent the mercury Cd degrees below zero
This was on the exposed mountain tops,
and did not last long or cause them
any inconvenience.
These men say there will be no great
difficulty in getting into Dawson all
winter, if the roads and the weather
do not get worse than now. They re-
port the country as being rich with
gold, and say new and valuable discov-
cries are being made every few days.
No gold was brought out by any of the
men who came down on the City of
Seattle.
Colonel Lamphere and Mr.. Gilbert
bought two mines within fifty miles OF
Juneau, which will be worked by COM
pany with capital of 81 100000.
These gentlemen say work is being
rushed on the Dyea aerial railway, and
also on the Skaguay trail, and that both
will be in shape for the miners to pass
over in the early spring.
Quinlan says there is enough food In
Dawson to last the 5000 men now there
all winter, those without food, 2,O00 in
number, having gone to Fort Yukon.
Two hundred will come out over the
trails. Major Walsh, who is now en-
camped at Big Salmon, will endeavor
TO break a trail through to Dawson, but
he does not expect to reach there till
February 1st. He says he will allow
miners to make claims in blocks of ten,
retaining the adjoining ten for the Gov
ernment. All the claims on Quartz Creek
are now staked, and it will probably be
as rich as FL Dorado and Bonanza
Creeks.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.

VICTORY IN THE HOUSL.
Succeed in Passing, Amid RiotoHs
Disorder, a Senatorial APP
portionment Bill.

SPRINGFIELD Qll.), Dec. 23.-Amld
scenes of fiotous disorder and intense
excitement the House to-day passed
the Republican Senatorial apportion-
ment DILL by a vote of 70 yeas to OF
nays. There were put TWO NoteS "
spare.
1t was a hairbreadth escape from de-
feat for the Republican managers.
Representative Patrick Meaney of Chi
cago saved the bill for the Republican
organization. He furnished the seven
ty-seventh vote necessary to pass the
measure, and when he ended a speech
with the words, II vote yea" state
Treasurer Henry Hertz, a Republican
leader, who stood at his side tremb-
ling with anxiety, flung his arms about
Meaney's neck and hugged him as
though he were a long-lost son re-
turned from the Klondike.
Representatives Funk and Scroggin
then voted for the BILL making seventy
nine in all.
The Senate is certain to pass the bill
the first week in January.
The bill provides for Republican
reapportionment of the Legislative dis
tricts of the State. According to the
Democrats, the reapportionment is a
gerrymander.
The Republicans assert that the
changes simply correct the outrages al
legged to have been perpetrated in the
so-called Democratic gerrymander of
the State.
So clever was the Democratic map
making that under existing conditions
il is necessary Governor Tanner (R.)
declares, for the Republicans to carry
Illinois by at least $4,000 majority If
the Republican party is to control the
State Legislature.
