BANK WANTS M0RB TIME.
Fire House Bonds will Not BE Ae-
cepted for she Present

Corporation Attorney James F. Min
turn of Hoboken, received a letter today
from President Charles S. Schultz OF the
Hoboken Bank for Savings in answer to
a communication which he sent to Mr..
Schultz last Wednesday asking whether
the bank intended accepting the city bonds
for which it had presented bid.
Mr.. Schultz stated that the bank was
willing to accept the $4,000 worth OF new
fire house bonds but would not decide at
present upon the other 100000 worth OF
asphalt bonds. He said that the banks
attorney was still investigating the valid
ity of the act under which the asphalt
bonds were issued and he requested that
more time be allowed to arrive at con-
clusion. The bank, he stated, was anx-
ious to purchase the bonds providing that
they are legal, but did not want to invest
in unsound securities.
Mr.. Minturn said that he would present
the letter before the Common. Council at
a special meeting to be held in the City
Hall at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon.

KLONDIKB PASSES SHUT
Commander Of the Bering Sea
Patrol Reports Probable
Famine This Winter
at Dawson City.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %, 1S97.-Captatn
Hooper, commander of the Bering Sea
patrol fleet, who has arrived in Wash
ington to attend the seal conference, said
today that the reports concerning the
scarcity of food in the Klondike region are
not. in his judgment, exaggerated. In
the neighborhood of Dawson City there
are, he said, about 5000 miners whose
supply of provisions for the coming win
ter is no greater than barely sufficient
for half that number during last winter.
Great suffering would be the inevitable
result of this scarcity of food. Although
some of the more vigorous among the
miners might attempt to get away on the
ice of the Yukon, the chances Were that
a considerable number Of these would
perish from hunger and exposure.
All of the passes were practically closed
some weeks ago and many hundreds OF
miners are now camped along the differ,
ent trails with little or no shelter and
with insufficient food supply. Late re-
ports, Captain Hooper said indicate that
rich discoveries have been made on
Minook Creek, a tributary. of the Yukon,
which empties into it about 700 or 500 miles
from it's mouth. If these new fields
proved as rich in gold as is anticipated, he
thought the congestion in the Kiondlke
region would be relieved as soon as spring
opened Minook Creek is comparatively
within easy reach of st. Michael's as
the river to that point when navigation
above it is impossible on account of low
water 1t was near Minook Creek that
the last Klondike steamer was compelled
to unload her cargo of provisions, So that
the miners in that section are in little
danger of the food famine that threatens
other camps.
Captain Hooper expects a great rush of
peoE into the gold region as soon as
spring opens, and he has no doubt that
the. tales. told OF. the immense gold de-
