FAMINE ALMOST CERTAIN.
Gid Prospectors Alarmed at the Out
look Oh the Yukon.


DYEA, Alaska, Aug. T. via Seattle,
Wash, Aug. 11.)-The British steamers,
Islander and Gees, have arrived with
about 500 prospectors, which increase
the number of the Dyea and Skaguay
trails to fully 1900. Later reports have
come in to the effect that the Skaguay
route is open, and that it is about TWEEN
five miles long. 1t is a zigzag course
over the mountains, and the road IS
very soft. There are 200 or 800 head
of horses in the trail, and they Will
put the road in a deplorable condition.
The probability of one man in ten
reaching the Klondike is remote. Ola
Alaska prospectors,i. some OF whom
have wintered in the Yukon and know
what to expect, are becoming fright
ened and turning back. Not that they
fear the hardships, but that they are
apprehensive of famine on account OF
so many men rushing headlong to the
mines without enough provisions &c
last them two months.
The best evidence that those upon
the ground regard the situation With
more or less alarm is the fact that
many are paying 20 cents per pound to
have freight packed across Dyea pass
There is an increase of cents per
pound since the sailing of the Alkl,
at which time 16 and II cents were
charged. Twenty cents is the regular
rate over the Dyeas or Chilkoot pass
route.
This increase and eXorbitant charge
is due to a scarcity of horses. With
out pack animals of some description
it appears to be next to impossible
at this season to get freight and outnt
across the divide.

FOR SOUTHERN CHINA.
Agreement for It's Construction Con
cIuded by a Belgian Syndicate.

An agreement has been concluded be-
tween Sheng 'Taotai and the Belgian
syndicate of fnanciers for the construc-
ton of railway in southern China,
says the Chinese Gazette. The terms of
the agreement have been approved
by the Pekfng COVE rnm3nt.
According to the text published, the
syndicate agrees to advance a loan of
f4,5O0000 sterling, less 10 per cent dis
count in name of interest. The loan
will be paid in four installments OF
f1,O12,500 each, at intervals of six
months, commencing Jan. 8, 1898
The Chinese government agrees to
repay the loan in twenty equal install
ments, beginning in 1908, but the repay
ment of principal and interest may be
postponed, and the line mortgaged to
the syndicate as security.
The conditions on which the loan
has been made are that the line shall
be finished in 1903 that it's construction
shall be under Belgian control, and
that the latter shall have the option of
furnishing half the material required,
provided their estimates do not exceed
those of other foreign contractors. 1t
is also provided that the management
of the railway, when completed, shall
be entirely in the hands of Chinese Off
Gals, and that in the event of war the
Belgian syndicate shall undertake to
assist the Chinese in defending the rail
way.

WITHOUT AN ORDINANCE.
Northern Pacific Road Has the Best
of Minneapolis.

The council committee on roads and bridges
met yesterday afternoon for consideration Of
the Oak street grade crossing matter The
intention of the council has been to force the
Northern Pacific railroad to either raise or
lower its tracks, but the committee decided to
abandon that idea, at least for the present,
when 1t was shown that the railroad company
bod recently obviated the danger at the cross
ing by putting in gates.
City Engineer Cappelen gave the commit ee
some rather sensational information, and his
statements seem to be borne out by the facts
in the case. He said that although the coun-
Gil granted the Northern Pacific road an ordi-
nance permitting 1t to lay its tracks in South
east Minneapolis, in 1888, the measure had
been vetoted by ex-Mayor Ames. In spite of
the veto, it seems, the company went ahead
and laid its tracks, and has been operating
in Minneapolis all these years withot an ordi-
nance.
The city engineer and city attorney were
instructed to draw up an ordinance securing
the city's rights, under which the railroad
will have to act after the expiration of its
present privileges next year.

by the board in getting at property
which had hitherto escaped taxation.

VILLAINS UNEXPECTED JUMP.
Found Himself in Thames River
Muck After His MeIoaramntic

"The title of What Happened to
Jones reminds me of an incident that
happened to an English actor during
a first night at one Of the minor Lon
don theaters," said Kathryn Osterman,
one of the actresses engaged for George
H. Broadhurst's new comedy at the
Manhattan theater, says the New York
Telegram. This temple of Thespis
was devoted to the lurid melodrama,
of which the British Aries are so fond.
The back door of the theater opened
directly on the Thames river. When
the performance reached a point where
the action was at fever heat the viii
liam should have made a hurried exit
in order to escape a righteous mob.

an assured fact. Lee 10y, the mayor
of Chinatown, says that the papers
closing the purchase of ITO acres, COM

by the Cinnamon for the land was
$2,250 an acre. The cemetery will be
used as burial ground by Cinnamon
all over the eastern section Of the coun-
try. Here the Celestials will be at lib
erty to indulge in all their native rites,
privilege which has been denied
them heretofore by the local cemetery
authorities.
