TWO CROWDED STEAMERS SAIL.

Most OF Those Who Have Just Sailed
Take With Thorn Horses or Mules,
Realizing That They Have o Win
ter's Trip Before Them.
Victoria, B. c., Aug. 16.-There were
In Victoria yesterday morning close
upon 1000 men Of every class and from
every part Of the world, who were
wildly anxious to get started on the
long trip to the new Ell Dorado. These
men had tickets which will carry them
to skagway bay on the big collier Bris-
toll or the steamer Islander, both Of
which sailed yesterday. The Bristol has
been fitted with hunks. and stalls for
horses from the bottom Of her hold
to the top of her cabin deck, and every
bunk and stall Ia occupied, close upon
500 men going on the Bristol and Just
as many horses and mules. Even the
big collier Is filled up, the feed for these
animals and the outfits for the men
taking up an immense amount of space.
The Islander has just as big a crowd,
but much of the space on her is taken
UP by a contingent of mounted police,
their horses, dogs and outfits. They
realize that they have winters trip
before them before they reach Dawson
City, and are taking dogs and sleighs.
Horses will be taken as far as possible,
and when they are Of no more use will
be killed and used as food for dogs.
A few of the men are going up with
the idea Of purchasing cheap outfits
from men who became discouraged and
are turning back, but most Of them are
well provided, and all are taking pack
animals, they having In this respect
taken the advice of men who went be-
fore and have written Of the difficulty
of securing animals or Indians to pack
goods across the pass.
W. w. e. Canovan, of Ottawa, who
was member Of the Canadian boun-
Diary survey. in which capacity he has
learned much about Alaska, left on
the Islander. Mr.. Canovan is going to
look over the ground for the Klondike
Placer Mining and Prospecting COM
pany, of Brantford and Paris Ontario.
This company will send out a large
party in the spring to prospect and
work claims in the Canadian Yukon.

Two Ventursome Bathers Lose Their
Lives at tho Famous Resort.
Atlantic City Aug. 1.-two venture
some bathers were drowned in the surf
while bathing here yesterday. They
were Thomas C. Laswell, aged 81 years.
of Princeton, Ind, and an unknown
man, supposed to be an excursionist
from Philadelphia. Young Laswell
came here yesterday with his friend,
]. NJ Parrot, also of Princeton on his
first visit to the seashore. The young
men went into the surf shortly before
noon, and Laswell, who seemed to be
unaware of the dangerous undertow,
was soon beyond his depth and calling
for help. The life guards made brave
effort to save him, but the surf was
so heavy that they were unable to
reach the drowning man. Laswell
struggled in the water for about 10
minutes in full view of about 10000
people gathered on the pier. board
walk and beach. PARROT nearly lost
his own life in attempting to save that
Of his friend, and was taken from the
water in an exhausted condition. One
of the life guards named Reed was
also overcome in the water, and was
rescued in an unconscious condition.
Late in the afternoon the body OF
Laswel came ashore. 1t was turned
over to d local undertaken, who pre-
pared 1t for shipment to Indiana. When
Laswell checked his valuables at the
bathhouse where he obtained his bath
ing suit he laughingy remarked to the
clerk, II will leave my address, so that
in case am drowned you can send my
valuables home" The jest was tragedy
in less than an hour
The second drowning occurred at
about o'clock in the afternoon and
the body of the drowned man has not
yet come ashore.
The surf yesterday was the heaviest
of the season, owing to gale which
prevailed, and between Is and 80 per-
sons were rescued, many Of them be-
ing women

Trenton, Aug. 16.-Eleven persons at
the boarding house of George Hibbs
on North Warren street, were poisoned
Saturday night. presumably from
something they had eaten at supper
Drs. Burroughs and Elmer were sum-
moned and in a short time all were
out Of danger. The physicians have
taken samples of the food for analysis.
1t is thought the poison was in the
bread, because Hibbs himeslf, who ate
no bread. was the only one in the house
who was not taken sick About a
month ago similar case of poisoning
occurred in the same boarding house,
but it was not so serious as the present

PittsbuY0. Auk. H. "A leadsn sky
and fitfull shoNsrs contributed to the
feeling Of depfe6sion which existed at
the miners camps At Turtle Creek and
Plum Creek yesterday. The men hud-
died toEether for shelter under the
commissary tents. and having nothing
else to do put in the time smoking and
discussing the strike In all its phases.
The spirit Of aggressiveness. however,
has largely died out. The same grim
determination to stick It out until star
walton brings defeat or their efforts VIC
tory is apparent. but there are no prop
ositions to attain their end by force or
to go contrary to the sheriff's orders.
The men all realize that in opposing
the law, as represented by the sheriff
and his deputies, they would have
about the same success as In butting
their heads against a stone wall. They
have no particular love for the depu-
ties. although there Ia an absence of
that caustic repartee between the fac
tions that has characterized former
strikes. There was no marching yes
terday. This has been the usual Sum
day custom at all the camps, but even
If 1t had been otherwise the strict
orders Of all strike leaders to wait
quietly until after today would have
prevented them. Sunday has usually
been used by the men to do mission
airy work among the working miners.
None of them attempted to see any
workmen, however, and kept severely
away from the company houses.
The march into Westmoreland coun-
ty will begin as soon as the injunction
Is settled in court. Much anxiety is
expressed as to the outcome. The men
stake everything on their ability to
show the right to assemble and march
on the public roads.
