SAN FRANCISCO, September I5,-The
long overdue steamer Excelsior, which
left St. Michaels, Alaska, for this port
six weeks ago, but was compelled to
put back to Un alaska for repairs, after
having broken two blades of her pro-
peller, arrived this morning with sixty
three passengers and about Sl,O00,00
in gold.
OF those who came down from Alas
ka all but two are known to have
money, but few were communicative
enough to admit how much they had.
All unite in confirming the stories al
ready told of the impending danger Of
famine at Dawson City during the COM
ing winter They say there are at
least 1000 people now at Dawson City
and that more are swarmng in every
day that the provisions are already
running short and the prospects of get
ting more in are remote. The Excel
sior's passengers are unanimous in the
opinion that the Klondyke region is
richer than was at first supposed but
are also of the opinion that unless the
immigration to that county is stopped
temporarily there will be terrible suf-
ferng.
Louis Sloss, Jr.. Of the Alaska Com
mercial Company, was one of the pas
sengers. He went to Dawson City for
the Company and reports that all good
claims are taken up. There is no
chance for the new comers unless a
rich strike is made on some other sec
ton. Mr. Sloss SAYS that his COM
pany store at Dawson City was closed
for but one day. He thinks provisions
will be scarce; but he hates to say
there will be actual starvation. There
are about 800 impatient miners at st.
Michaels. most of whom will have to
stay until spring unless they have al
ready secured passage on the river
boats.
There are plenty of provisions at st.
Michaels and every effort is being
made to get supplies up tho river.
1t is difficult to say how much money
was brought down by the Excelsior.
The miners are secretive and will give
no accurate information, Some fthem
it is known, could not bring much
and will be glad to go to work down
here. The Alaska G numerical Com
pany received large consignment of
treasure, but will not say evactly how
much. When asked as to the amount,
Mr.. Sloss said: I'VE brought more
than came down on the Portland and
we did not need any Maxim guns to
protect it.

Carrier Pigeon Captured.

Logansport, Ind, September l3. "A
carrier pigeon with message signed
"Andree" has been captured in this vi
cinity. The writing is in English, but
it is thought that the explorer sent out
the messages in all languages.
The bird was first seen to fly over a
small town called Idaville, near here,
and was next seen when it alighted on
farmer Weeks house, in an exhausted
condition. Its capture was easy, but
in getting the bird down it was in
jured and died this morning. Its right
foot had a small aluminium band
around it, on which was inscribed "No.
81" and the letter "A.n Under the
left wing was parchment containing
some badly dstigured writing, Of which
only the following could be read:
"August %. Pole" and the next was
erased Then came the signature,
"Andree." The action of the wing had
worn the parchment and erased the
writing. The whole had been tied on
the body of the bird, and while not
loose, had evidently been in all kinds
of weather.
At first it was thought that a practical
joke had been played, but the exhaust
ed condition of the bird disproved that.
