Uniform Price for Everything at
Dawson City.
SEATTLE. Wash. Dec. ia letter
from Skaguay, Alaska, gives the addi-
tional news brought from Dawson by
Joe Kastner and Geo. Mclaughlin, OF
Helena, Mont, who left Dawson, Nov.
J. When they left Dawson they were
accompanied by Pat Holland, of Butte.
and William Kink, of Los Angeles.
Each man had a sled and an outfit Of
about 40 pounds. which included pro-
visions and blankets. After travelling
l4O miles up the river. Kastner and Nc
Laughlin abandoned their sleds and
with 100 pounds each on their backs
continued their journey, leaving Hol-
land and King behind; they had deter
mined to stick to their sleds. Provis-
ions at Dawson when they left were to
be had only from the recent arrivals,
who had some to spare. The prevailing
price was 81 a pound for every purchas-
able article from a sack of flour to a
pick or single pan.
"Will there be starvation In Dawson
this winter" Mr.. Kastner was asked.
That Is a hard question" he said.
IF the people are put upon raltons,
thre will in my opinion be enough
to tide over the winter or until sup
plies can arrive, and there will be no
actual suffering from want Of food"

In reply TO a brief submitted To them by

objections advanced against the adoption
of the air motor, in report OF Engineer
Commissioner Black, the Commissioners
yesterday sent letter 10 Mr.. Schoepf as

Tear Sir-The Commissioners have care
fully considered your letter OF july 80,
1897, in reply to the report of the
Engineer Commissioner upon the air motor
system proposed 10 be adopted by the
lexington and Soldiers Home and Belt
Line Railway companies.
They have noted what you say in re
gard to the success of this motor on
certain lines in New York city, and the
proposed increase of the number Of these
motors upon such lines.
"They desire to give this question a
full and careful Consideration, and would
be glad IL make an investigation in New
York of the use OF these motors upon the
lines referred to by sending man for
that purpose, bur regret that the con ditioD
Of their funds is not such as to allow them
70 do so. inasmuch as Congress has not
provided any funds for the purpose of
such an Investigation
This, as viii be seen, is an answer to only
part OF Mr.. scheepf's communication.
The whole question has not yet been acted
upon by the Commissioners, and most
probably no steps in the matter will be
taken until the return OF Capt. Black,
who has made thorough study OF the
subject. Commissioner Hack is at pres
efTt on his vacation, and VIII come back ia
the city about the last Of this mouth.

The Bdghtwood postoffice difficulty is
not the Only one which the Postoffice De
partment IS called upon TO decide. There
are several other interesting postal un-
pleasantpesses which just now occupy the
attention OF the Fourth Assistant Post
master Generals office
few weeks ago postmaster was ap-
pointed in a small town in Missouri The
opposition formed a combination against
him and took an option on every avail
able room L.; tl:e town in which the post
office might he located. The owner of IN.
old postoffioe building refused to rent it
to the new appointse. The new postmaster
owned farm aEOut three miles from the
town, anil he moved the postoffice out
there, 80 that she patrons OF the office had
10 travel six miles TO get their mail This
difficulty has not been adjusted.
Yesterday morning the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General received letter from
2 postmaster at a little town in Arkansas
The writer said he was in urgent need
OF instructions. He was not then in the
town in which his postoffice was, but
had left the office in charge of d reliable
assistant. He explained the difficulties
under which he labored in the administra.
ton Of his office. he said that mob
had waited upon him, and had notified
/ him that unless he sent his resignation
in within twenty-four hours he must take
the consequences. Every man in the mob
was armed and meant business. This
postmaster said that he left town to avoid
the strife. and lie would like the depart
ment 10 instruct him as To how he should
proceed. He felt quite confident. he said.
that if hr returned to the place he would
be lynched.
Yesterday the Postoffice Department
was notified Of a postoffice war in Ill;-
noIs There is q little town out there
where the postoffice is located in
college building A week ago a new
postmaster was appointed and he made
application to change the site of the
pcsUofIioe. He desired to take it ont
OF the culicse building and put ii up in
his store do wn the str reet. This the
College toys would not agree To. The-
waylaid the new postmaster and ''did
him up Then they held an indignation
meeting and burned him in effigy.
The faculty of the college have mott
fled the i9ostoffice Department that the
boys are beyond control and that if the
site of the office is changed they cannot
answer for the consequences. There Is
a strong intimation in the notifica ton
| that il the site is changed the boys may
burn the new postoffice and do great bodily
injury to the postmaster.
4 Michigan Congressman has requested
the removal OF q Michigan fourth-class post
| master on the ground OF offensive pc rtIsan-
snip. He has informed the Postoffice De-
| partment that last fall this postmaster
rented every hall and stoneroom in the
village where it was desirable 10 hold a
political meeting and refused TO rent either
one of these place at any time during the
campaign for the purpose of a Republican
meeting The weather was uncomfortable
and the Republican meetings had to be held
in the open air.
The department has declined to remove
the postmaster on this ground, holding that [
its policyi is not TO remove postmasters for
