Hundreds of Strikers Reported to He
Marching on the COIIierieS Oper-
ated by De Armitt.
TROUBLE 1T CAN0NSBURG
WHERE STRIKERS WILL TRY TO
sTOP WORK IN THE PITS.
Five Hundred Determined Men in
Camp-West VirginiRns Addressed
by Eugene v. Debs.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 24.-Sixty deputy
sheriffs have been ordered out and are now
(midnighO at the Union Station awaiting
orders to move. Their destination is kept
profound secret, but 1t is supposed they are
to be sent to the mines of the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal Company in antici-
patton of any raid that may be made. But
as the strikers officials declare that the
contemplated march has been abandoned no
conflict is expected.
Another march on Canonsburg was begun
tonight. A big meeting of the miners was
held at Reissing at o'clock this afternoon.
They were informed that the Allison mine
intended to resume work this morning and
in a very short time it was decided to make
another tramp across the country and REIN
force the one hundred strikers that have
been on guard. They will remain until
Tuesday morning. There was a great hur-
rying to and fro in all the mining settle
ments in that section before the sun went
down. Every man decided to take two days
rations along. Women, as has been the case
during the present strike, were among the
most active agitators. They advised their
husbands and sweethearts to take another
irksome tramp across the country in order
that their conditions might be bettered. Be-
fore evening more than five hundred de-
termined men from Cecil Reissing and
Rrdgeville were modified at Bridgeville.
Shortly after o'clock they started on the
march, with the American flag at their
head. Nearly all the men carried a dinner
pail and they looked like a regiment OF
tolers going to their work. The whole
countryside along the line of march turned
out to witness the sight. They reached the
Allison mine at about 10 o'clock and made
the best of their quarters.
Nothing was done in the way of arbitra-
ton yesterday. The commissioners rested
and expect to accomplish considerable dur
ing tomorrow. They will endeavor to en-
list more of the river operators and have
every reason to hope that they will be sue
cessful.
Later-It was learned that the deputies
were supplied with Winchester rifles and
dispatched to the New York and Cleveland
Company's mines The request for depu-
ties, it is said, came from Mr.. De Armitt,
who received word from q scout that
large body of mer were marching towards
the mines, coming from the direction of
McKeesport and the Youghiogheny district.
Nothing more definite than the above is
known here

Perhaps 1t Has Been Found mt Last
in the klOndike.

BOSTON July 25.-This is what Prof
George Frederick Wright says about the
gold discovery in Klondike: THE discov-
cry of gold in large quantities on the Yukon
river is by no means unexpected. Eleven
years ago the 'ast word 1 heard as 1 left
Juneau was the pledge of a returning tour
list to meet his friend the next summer and
prospect in the Yukon region. The great
mass of gold-bearing quartz at the Tread
weu mine, near Juneau, was what might be
expected, and at the same time what might
be the limitation of the supply. For more
than ten years that mine has furnished
more than a million dollars of gold annual
ly, but it is not like ordinary quartz mines
1t is rather a great isolated mass of quartz
with gold disseminated all through it, While
its worth is great its length is limited
Little is known about the geology Of the
Yukon river, where the Klondke mines
have been found. Being placer mines, the
gold may have been transported many
many miles. The means of transportation
are both glaciers and rivers. The Klondike
region is on the north side Of the ST. Elias
Alps. Alaska was never completely COW
cred with glacial ice. The glaciers flowed
both north and south from these SUBMITS
Dawson and Prof. Russell both report we'll

Yukon valley. The source Of the Klondike

tion of gold-bearing quartz veins, or mass
like that at Juneau Under subaerial
agencies these become dissolved Then the

People Rushing to Alaska Like They
Did to California in the Days OF
Old and the Land of Gold"
ANOTHER STEAMER DEPARTS
LOADED WITH PASSENGERS, HORSES
AND MISCELLANEOUS FREIGHT.
Possibility that the "Mother Lode
Has Been Found at Last-TaIIN
with j. w. Mackay.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-The desire Of
the gold-struck throng to reach the dig
gings in the Hlondike district resembles for
all the world the craze of Fasteners to
reach California in the days of old and
land of gold" There is little or no method
in this longing of the masses TO reach the
Eldorado in the great unknown territory of
the Northwest. People who have had no
experience in mining or have undergone
none of the hardships incident to such
journey as will follow trip to the Yukon
country, are clamoring for passage and
straining every nerve to secure funds neces-
sary on which to make the trip. Many are
making sacrifices in order to visit the land
that promises SO much.
Every steamship Office in the city is liter
ally overrun with people seeking informa-
ton concerning the Klondike country. Those
who have the money do not hesitate to
pay for the passage, trusting in many in
stances to good luck to give them food on
which to subsist during the coming winter.
The Excelsior which leaves on Wednesday
next has full passenger list, and big
bonuses are being offered every day for
berth the vessel.
The steamer Umatilla left this morning
for the north with 29O passengers and full
Townsend, where she connects with the City
of Topeka, sailing direct 10 Juneau. The
owners of the Umatilla have applied to the
inspectors of huls and boilers for permis-
sion to carry all the passengers that the
vessels owned by the company will hold.
The Topeka, which is scheduled to leave
Seattle early next week, has already more
passengers than is permitted by law. The
same is true of the George w. Elder which
is scheduled to leave July 80 The people at
Seattle are begging the steamship company
offices to provide them with transportation.
The steamer Cleveland, chartered as an
extra vessel by the Northwestern Trading
Company, sailed late last night for Seattle
where she will discharge part of her cargo
and take on supplies and passengers for
Alaska. About half of her passenger list
from this city is booked for Alaska, and
she will be full to the limit when leaving
Seattle for the North. 1t is probable that
she will carry 500 passengers.
More people are anxious to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country than can possibly
be accommodated at the present time 1t
is believed by many that the vessels now
fitting at San Francisco and destined for
Dawson City by way of ST. Michaers will
never reach the former place. The river
begins to freeze about Sept 10, and it is not
possible for vessels leaving San Francisco
after August to reach Dawson City for at
least five or six days after the extreme cold
has set in
