SEATTLE WILD OVER GOLD

Steamer Portland Arrives From Alaska
With 81, ESQ. 900 on Board.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 19.-No won
der Seattle has gone stark, staring mad
on gold. The North American Trans
portation company's steamer Portland
has reached this port from st. Michaels
with at least 81, $50, 900 in gold dust as
freight and 88 miners aboard.
Some Of the miners have with them
e7s 900, and not one of them has less
than IS 900, every dollar of which has
been taken from the Olondyke within
the year, and most these men, with a
competency now in their hands, have
claims in that fabulously rich region
that almost beyond doubt will net them
hundreds of thousands more.
The Town Conc Wild.
The arrival of the Portland and the
reports of the wonderful discoveries IN
Alaska have caused intense excitement.
Policemen are resigning from the force;
every street car man that can raise
stake, has given notice to his company.
In fact all classes of society are repre-
scented in the feverish rush to get north.
The steamship officers are rushed with
business and Quitting stores are taxed
to their utmost capacity to supply the
wants of those who are getting ready to
make the trip.
Merchants are fearful that their help
will leave them and they will be unable
to fill their places.

Mary Ellen Fools tho Jarvis-Conklin
Mortgage Company.
WICHITA, Kan, July 22.-The Jarvis
Conklin Mortgage company renewed its
fight on Mrs. Mary E. Lease by fling
new proceedings in aid of execution in
the probate court. This time the ex.
ecution was against both Charles and
Mary e. Lease, but Sheriff Gone found
that Mrs. Lease was out Of the courts
jurisdiction, being in Iowa on lecture
tour. Mrs. Lease has disposed of her
piano and sold or given away every
stick of furniture except couple Of old
bedsteads good only for kinding wood.
A week ago the Jarvis Conklin COM
pany got out attachment papers on the
household property of the Leases. The
papers failed to include the name Of
Mr.. Lease, and the judge threw the
case out of court. In the meantime,
while the mortgage company was pre-
pairing the papers just fled, Mrs. Lease
had been actively disposing of the
household goods. The house itself had
previously been sold to satisfy mort
gage.

the sum was nearer to S2,0OO,O0O. In
this connection something in the nature
of a confidence game has been worked
on the North American Trading and
Transportation company, or its officials
in charge Of the Portland, by the min
ers. Each man was required to place
his gold chest in the ships safe, but this
was not done by any means. Many OF
the miners secreted their dust in blan'
kets and luggage. which were taken
either to THERE staterooms or thrown
carelessly about the ship.
Clarence J. Berry, one Of the Klon'
dyke kings, brought down at least 1884,
600 in nuggets, not cent Of which the
Portland had any record. The state.
ment is made on the authority Of Cap.
tain William Kidson, the master of the
vessel. When pressed for an estimate
as to the grand total Of the Portland's
gold cargo, Captain Kidson said it was
no doubt nearer $2,000,0O0 than the
amount accounted for on the ships rec

MINISTER OKUNA'S VIEWS.

Says japan Must Oppose Hawaiian Amer
alton to the Utmost.
VANCOUVER, July 22.-Count Okuna,
foreign minister of Japan, says regard.
ing the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States:
"The foreign Office is not surprised at
the proposed annexation. We simply
protest against it. The Importance Of
the islands will be immensely increased
by the construction Of the Nicaraguan
or Panama canal and it is absolutely
necessary, therefore, to leave the coun-
try Independent. In voyaging to the
far East, steamers starting from Europe
or America must call at Hawaii. To
have them incorporated into the Union
would involve international interests in
the Pacific ocean. Another reason is
this: Annexation would impair the
rights and privileges which Japan is
enjoying in Hawaii. The protest was
therefore entered on these grounds.
Leaving aside the attitude of other
powers, the question is, what will Japan
do if, under any circumstances, the an
nexation is carried into practice in spite
of the protest of Japan? Japan must
oppose it to the utmost. Annexation
must not be recognized"

Columbia River Fishermen VIII Try Con-

ASTORIA, Or, July 22.-There is
trouble among the salmon fisheries on
the Columbia river: a few days ago,
when the Gamers decided to reduce the
price of fish to cents pound, the fish
ermen accepted the cut and gave the
impression there would be no trouble.
But trouble of serious nature has
broken out. Late at night, between 800
and 500 armed men sailed over Bakers
BAY, which is q veritable net work Of
fish traps, destroying offensive gear.
Every trap they came to was rendered
useless. From reports, property valued
at from $4,000 to S125,000 was de-
stroyed. It is said to be the object Of
the men to remove all the traps in the
river and force the Gamers to pay the
price asked, which is cents.

order to lessen the probable difficulty.

NEW ARBITRATION TREATY

United States and Great Britain to Re-
open the Matter.
LONDON, July 22.-It is learned that
while the statements in the English
press to the effect that Sir Julian
Pauncefote brought from the United
States draft Of new arbitration
treaty are untrue, it is fact that Sir
Julian discussed the question with Sec
rotary Sherman and since his arrival
here, has discussed it with Lord Sails
bury. There is the best reason for be-
lieving that the matter will be re-opened
at Washington in October, and that a
short treaty, of less scope than the last,
will be arranged for submission to the
respective governments.
It is thought that the matter would
not have been revived unless the feeling
of leading United States senators had
been previously ascertained, and Lord
Salisbury been assured that President
Mckinley is in favor Of such an ar
rangement.

Consideration of the Confer.

Lacks Interest.
Main Obstacle of the LAY 6
Point of Order Raised
by Mr.. Jones.
Almost a Certainty the Final
Vote Will Be Taken
This Week.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The senate
concluded the formal reading Of the
tariff conference report during the day.
The debate was spiritless in the main.
Early in the day Mr.. Jones (Ark. made
q contest against the conference COM
mittee on the ground that it had ex-
ceeded its authority in so amending the
paragraph relating to printing paper as
to placing retaliatory duty against the
countries paying export bounty on
wood pulp. His point of order was de-
bated at much length and finally over
ruled by Vice President Hobart. This
removed the only obstacle thus far en-
countered by the report. The reci-
procity amendment and the abandon
ment of the stamp tax on bonds and
stocks developed much criticism.
Final Vote This Week.
When the senate adjourned for the
day the understanding was general that
the final vote would be taken on the
conference report on the tariff bill not
later than Friday night, but there was
no formal agreement to this effect.
Both senators Jones and White, who
have been leading the opposition to the
bill on behalf of the Democrats, ex-
pressed the opinion that the vote would
not be postponed beyond this time.
Senator Allison also stated that, while
he still considered vote possible before
then, he felt very confident Tat it
would not be postponed beyond friday.
In the event of vote on the tariff Fri
day final adjournment is generally pre-"
dicted for Saturday.
