MORE MEN FOR THE YUKON.
They Are stni Rushing North in Spite of
 Many Warnings.


 San Francisco, Aug. S.-The steamers Noy and Walla will leave for Alaska to-morrow. The former will carry 15O Klondike passengers, who are well sup piled with outfits and burros to go over the Chilkoot pass, Reports of the snow on the mountains and of the fearful condition both at the Chilkoot and White passes have dampened the ardor Of many here, but a Ilunber4of vessels are advertised to sail as late as the mid dle of the month, and one goes by way of St. Michael That vessel has about one chance in ten of getting Its passen- gers up the Yukon before ice comes. Two we'll known brokers will leave here tomorrow with strong backing to pond any good placer mines they may find near Dawson. No mines have been bonded here, and the story that New York investors have bonded Clarence Berry's mines for $2,0O0O00 is a fake. | smelting company turned over to the United States mint to-day $7500OU of Klondike gold in the form of bars. This represent about three-quarters or all the Alaskan gold brought down here by prospectors during the past three weeks. The smelters also dump ed into the mint $3,775,5O0 in gold bars, which represents the accumulation of gold from California and the neighbor- ing states during the six weeks that the mint has been closed.
 Seattle, Wash, Aug. 3.-Regardless of | the congestion of freight at Dyea and | SkagWay, and the numerous difficulties encountered by the gold seekers in get ting their packs and freight transport 1 ed across the summit to the lakes, the rush north only seems to gain fresh i'm petus.
 | Hotels and boarding houses are crowded to the utmost, stores are rush. | ed night and day, working double shifts of clerks in filling orders and outfitting miners for the Klondike, while streets and wharves are damned with goods and drays.
 This morning Captain Carroll of the Queen, who has long been familiar with Alaska and its trade, says mer are going in too late in the season, ant many now at Dyea will not be alive by the end of winter But still they | go, and it is only question of trans portation facilities to accommodate ] them
 It is announced tonight that the Wil lemata, which will sail from this DOT on Thursday, has 800 passengers anc 300 horses engaged. The Alki sailing at noon, was loaded tothe guards.
 Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 3.-A privat, dispatch says that the Canadian gov ernment is sending a special commis sion to the Yukon this month, consist ing of surveyors, geologists, and tele graph experts. Telegraph and tele phone lines will be built between tn principal mining camps.

of pretty much every stock on the list Very many sales of odd lots were re- corded, retiecting the ventures of small individual purchasers through commis- sion houses. There was not much dis criminatlon shown in this class of buy ing which embraced some of the stocks which have long almost passed out of the field of attention on the exchange,
 A notable feature of the trading was the heavy selling for foreign account, and the readiness with which these sales were absorbed and their sentimental effect dlsregarded. Northern Pacific preferred was the chief sufferer in this respect, as yesterday, but all of the in- ternationally listed stocks were sold by London to some extent, It Is estl- mated that the total of London sales reached S5000 shares for the day. This was almost without effect on prices here and failed to check the further fall in sterling exchange which was affected by heavy offerings in grain bills. London was apparently eager to realize on American securities and steadfastly de- clined to enter the tempting field for speculation offered by the New York market.
 The industrial group and the gas stocks were conspicuous again to-day for strength, Consolidated Gas leading and showing a further net gain of 5.
 The grangers were heavily bought and advanced at one time nearly a point; the final decline left the net gains in these and other active stocks only a fraction. The Erie stocks, Van derbilts and the anthracite coal group were also notable for some sharp gains. Sugar rose at one time 2A, but closed with only fractional gain.
 | Other net gains of a point or over were: Tobacco 91a, Hooking Valley preferred 6, Erie first preferred 3A, Erie second preferred 21s, Illinois Steel 4, Oregon Short Line 21a, St. Joe and Grand Island 2, Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg ?, LeClede Gas 21a, New York 1 Central, Norfolk and Western, Oregon Navigation, Reading, St. Paul and Du- luth, Omaha, St. Louis and San Fran cisco, Sugar preferred Tobacco pre- ferred, Bay State Gas, Illinois Central and Iowa Central preferrel from 1 to 1%.
 Operations in railway bonds were at- tended by violent fluctuations in some eases with Georgia Pacific firsts and Union Pacific AZ trust receipts conspic- uous for advances of S1s and per cent, respectively. The market exhib- ited a very strong tone throughout the dealings on a heavy scale. The aggre- gate sales were s3,34O, ,0O0
 Government bonds were heavy on moderate sales.

OFF CAPE RACE.
Big Iceberg. Wrecked-Mariners B.

B1g lceDerg WrecKed--MarlnefS Be-
 ware.
 New York, Aug. 3.-Stories of ice bergs sighted at sea took new phase this morning when Captain Robinson of the British steamship Croft, from Leith, steamed into Quarantine. He told of a big iceberg which he passed twenty miles northeast of Cape Race on July 30. & s
 It was ITO feet high, according to Captain Robinson, and 200 feet long at the water line. How deep it was under water the captain did not dare to guess but he solemnly declares that the big berg was hard aground. He was posi- tive of this as the mass of ice stood absolutely motionless. How deep the water was in that particular vicinity Captain Robinson did not venture to say, not having made any soundings The captain further says that the berg is directly in the track of westward bound vessels, and is particularly dan- gerous in foggy weather.
 This is the first iceberg reported aground this season.
 Other vessels arriving this morning bring word of severe storms encoun-t tered at sea. The British steamship Wells City, from Bristol, reports run ming into a gale after leaving port which lasted with varying force until the vessel reacherd Nantucket Light ship.
 The Dutch steamship American, from Rotterdam, also received rough treat ment from the elements during the voyage, encountering continuous west erly gales to the Banks. Both vessels were severely pounded by the seas.

 Island of Luzon.
 Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 4.-Fiye hun dred persons are reported to have been killed up to July i, as the result of the terrible outbreak of the great volcano of Mayon, on the Island of Luzon, one of the Philippine group, which began on June 24 to throw up ashes and lava in immense quantities. Dispatches to Hong Kong up to July said that the killed up to that time were not less than 800, and it was probable that the loss of life would reach into the thou sands, depending on the length of time of the eruption. On that date lava streams and ashes had reached the cities of Bacacay, Malipot, and Liboy, and their destruction seemed certain. Fifteen smaller towns between these and the volcano had been destroyed and scores of the agricultural popula- tion had been overwhelmed while at- tempting to escape.

 THE ERIE ROADS CONTRACT
With the Delaware and Hudson Rail road.

 New York, Aug. At Is unlikely that anything will be done for some time in
 the matter of formal settlement of the
 Fries contract to carry coal for the Delaware and Hudson. President Oly- phant will be out of town 1t was said
 to-day all the present month. From what can be learned the exact terms of
 the new contract to go into effect Jan
 uary l, 1898, are not yet settled, but it will make considerable reduction in
 the Fries returns from that source.
 The Susquehanna and Western, as is
 well known, has been bidding for the contract, and this will result in forcing
 the Erie to accept terms considerably
 more favorable to the Delaware and Hudson.
