A FULL-FlEDGED INDIAN WAR
Likely to be Inaugurated In Alaska In the
Spring.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, July 26.-
From a miner who came down from
Alaska on the Portland, it is learned
that 200 Indians of the Stick tribe were
contemplating coming to the coast
at the head of Dica inlet tor the pur-
pose of packing freight across the di-
vide, and rafting it across the lakes and
down the Yukon river to the mining
fields.
If the intention is carried out Alaska
will have full-hedged Indian war, as
the Chilkat tribe has always warned
the Sticks and other interior tribes not
to come to the coast to engage in any
industries. The work of packing
freight over the divide has long been
monopolized by the Chilkats.

THE kLONDiKE FEVER.

Nearly Every Able Bodied Man In Juneau
Has Already Gone or Is Preparing to Go
to the Rich Gold FieIds--A Blockade OF
Freight-Wiii Go by the Schwaitka Route
--Wiii Represent u Canadian Syndicate.
PoRr TOWNSEND, Wash, July 27.-
The steamer City of Topeka arrived
yesterday morning from Alaska. She
brings news that the Klondike fever
is on the increase at Juneau, nearly
every able-bodied man there having
gone or prepared to go to the rich fields.
Authentic reports direct from Dyea
are that there is now as much freight
piled up at the head of the inlet as the
Indians can pack over the divide in the
next Is months. This amount Of
freight will be more than doubled
when the steamers Queen and Mexico
now en- route, arrive. This condition
OF affairs practically precludes the pos
sibility Of hundreds of the gold seekers
reaching the mining region this year
Frank F. Myers, a Juneau news
paper man, will leave here in two
s~eeks for Dawson City. He will go by
the route followed by Lieut.. Schwatka
who conducted an exploring party into
the Yukon valley in 1889.
This route starts from Takou inlet
80 miles south of Juneau, from Takou
to Lake Teslin, a distance of 1870 miles
over level prairies, and thence from
Lake Teslin is an open valley, through
to the Yukon river by way of the
Hoollngua river. With the aid O
packhorses the Takou route is by fal
the more preferable.
1t is probable that stage line viii
soon be operated on this route. Partie!
who have been over both routes say
that the walk of 1870 miles over thu
level country is more easily accom-
plished than that of the 10 miles owe
the Chilkat summit.
John &. Brady has taken his oath o
Office, and is now Alaska's governor.

any such indictments brought about
by the Ministers alliance, which is
pushing a crusade against the ma

Judge McAfee also scored the city
council for creating current expense
bond instead of paying as they go. He
thought, he said, that it was a case
worthy of indictment. The jury was
also charged to investigate alleged lille

Quiet Fast Day-Elmw woods Beat Walling-
 lords 12 to 9 at tBaseball-Features ofthe
 Game-Other News Totes.
 Fast day was very uneventfui day here and an unusually quiet one.
 There was q big crowd at the ball game yesterday afternoon to see the opening game of the season, A moderate estimate puts the figures at l,15O. The Wallingfords and ElmWoods of South Meriden were the con testants The visitors had in the pitcher s box the noted colored lightning tWlrler, Carter of Middletown, and the way he sent the ball across the plate for the entire nlne Innings was wonderful. The catcher made no attempt to stop the balls except when he was actually obliged to and then failed quite often. The home team batted very well considering the pitcher they had to face, and held the dead up to the seventh inning, when the veteran pitcher Casey, who has not had any practice this season visitors got onto the ball in great shape and took the lead, which they kept to the end and won the game by a score of F to Q. DeMills relieved Casey after the seventh inning. The local team showed lack of practice and were at times wild in throw ing. The star play of the game was the one handed catch of fly ball by the Meri- den second baseman on the run, when there were two men on bases, and his continuing to the first base and putting out second player The double play saved at least two runs. The umpiring of Frank Taylor gave the best of satisfaction to all concerned.

The Holman locomotive with the fric.. tion- -geared trucks, was given another trial this morning, when speed of ninety miles an hour was attained, The engine drew two cars we'll filled with people, but evidently did not make the best speed possible. The trial was on the tracks of the south Jersey Railroad, and was really race be- tween it and a train on the West Jersey road, which parallels the other. Just before the o'clock express started out over the West Jersey Railroad the Holman train went about a mile and half outside of the city and waited until the West Jersey train came along. When the latter reached the new engine it was going at the rate of fifty five miles an hour, and before the Holman engine could get well started the West Jer- sey train had gone mile ahead.
 The Holman overlook the West Jersey train in two-mile stretch, and reached Rio Grande forty-five seconds ahead, then low cred it's speed to seventy miles an hour and went six miles further to Cape May Court House.
 The engine will be tested on a long dist ance run some time next week. It moves along without iolting, and the faster it goes the easier it seems to move.-"New York World'
