From Klondfke.

OTTER POINT, B. O., Sept. 10.-The
steamer Cleveland has arrived from st.
Michaels, bringing with her from the
Yukon gold fields story of distress
and disaster. The miners she has
on board and officers in charge OF
the ship tell the story of disaster
and distress at Dawson. The winter
has set in at the mining city
and two great stores of the place have
closed their doors for they have moth
ing to sell. Those who have been seek
ing gold now must seek food or starve.
There can be no question that famine
threstens the adventurous men and
women who made their way to the
Klondike. Hundreds of unruly spirits
are hocking to Dawson.

"Governor O'Ferrsll has at least the

public is willing to take some interest.
There never was q greater mistake.
What Governor O'Ferrall says or does
Is of little or no interest now, anywhere,

The Secretary of State, after enjoying
laugh at the letter, sent it to the In
surance Department. 1t is likely that
but little attention will be given to the
matter by the State authorities.
