Rocky Mount got into trouble. He was
young coloreh swell, who had been a

money orders or any other funds was an
unusual I'iXury TO him. He got short over
$700, and was sent TO the Albany peniieu-
tiary, his white b5ndsmen making up the
deficit. Three months afterward the
colored postmaster at Halifax was checked
up ana found snort nearly 81 100. He
took up his lodgings at Columbus at the
Governments expense. The postmaster at
Windsor was short and removed before he

Disbelief In the Reported Blockade
of Freight.

Seattle, Wash. July 26.-The report
sent out from Port Townsend that
there was already blockade Of freight
at Dyea is net believed here, nor can
it be confirmed. Only one steamer, the
Alki, had landed freight and passen-
gers at Dyea at the time the Topeka,
which arrived here this morning, left
Juneau Therefore it is not possible
that there can be very great crush
at Dyea Reports received here indi-
cate that prospectors are having no
trouble.
However, when the loads of the
Queen and Mexico, which have already
sailed. and the Islander and the Rosa
lie, which sails on the 18th and 5lst
respectively arrive at Sheep Camp.
there will undoubtedly be some delay,
but horses are now being shipped TO
Dyea from Seattle by hundreds. They
are TO be used fer packing over the
divide and will much expedite the car
rying of the outfits. A large pack train
is already operating. The Topeka
brings no news from the north other
than has been published. A passenger
from Juneau said the people of that
city are fiocking to the Klondyke by
every possible route. The new trail
over the mountains, which is LOO feet
lower than the old pass, has been fin
ished and viii be used in taking cattle
over the summit, destined from Daw-
son City. The impression prevails that
there is TO be a scarcity of provisions
in the new camp.

to know that Archie Burne, a miner,
was affected by sunstroke while cross
ing the pass from Dyea. He recovered
and proceeded afker two days rest. He
indorses the Chilkoot pass above all
others as q cattle route His own
stock, nine cattle and two horses, were
taken from Salt Water to Lake Ldnder-
man, in less than 20 hours. The route
is, however, unsuitable for sheep, as
there is too much deep swift water.

fsnecial to The Herald.l


Cheyenne, Wyo., July ga promi-
nent stockman who is here from Cas-
per received a telegram today stating
that a large band of cattle rustlers
are gathering at the K c ranch, at
which place Champion and Ray were
killed during the rustler war of 1892,
for the purpose of burning and de-
stroying all cattle outfits on the ranges,
and to make an attempt to rescue Bob
Taylor, the rustler captured by Devine
and his band of cowboys last Thurs
day during a battle with the rustlers,
and who is now in jail at Casper.
Excitement runs high at Casper and
preparations are being made TO give
the rustlers a warm reception if they
attempt to rescue Taylor. Reliable
information has been received that the
rustlers are riding toward Casper and
it is thought they are just foolish
enough to undertake to Eecover Taylor
by dash into the town under cover
of darkness.
Al Smith, the rustler who was
wounded in Thursdays battle. went
to Buffalo and had his wound S,essed.
The body of Bob Smith, who was killed
by Devine. was taken TO Buffalo for
burial.
More trouble is expected ard rumors
of depredations are looked 81 any
moment, either on the p or at
Casper.

MUST COME BACK.
Hundreds Will Never Be Able to
Reach the Fields.

Port Townsend, Wash, July 26.-The
this morning from Alaska. She brings
news that the Klondyke fever is on the
increase in Juneau, nearly every able
bodied man there having gone or pre-
pared to go to the rich fields. Anthem
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 steam
ers Queen and Mexico, now en- route,
arrive. This condition of affairs prac-
tically precludes the possibility of hun
dIeds of Eoldseeker5 reaching the min
ing region this year.
FRANK i. Myers, = Juneau newspaper
man, Will leave here in two weeks for
Dawson City. He will go by the route
followed by Lieutenant 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,
distance of 100 miles over level prairies,
and the country from Lake Teslin is an
open valley, through TO the Yukon river
by way Of the HootinSua river. With
the aid of pack horses the Takou route
is by far the most preferable. It is
probable that 4 stage li9e will soon be
operated on this route Parties who
have been over both routes say that
the walk of 100 miles over the level
country is more easily accomplished
than that of the IS miles over the Chill
cat summit. John G. Brady has taken
his oath of office and is now Alaska's
governor

San Francisco, July 26-N. E. Picotte,
of the Yukon country, who has been
in this city several days, gives an in
teresting account of the efforts of the
pioneers of that locality to secure more
modern means of conveyance into the
land Of the golden fleece.
while at Circle City and Forty
Mile last year. says Picotte, I'VE Sc
riously considered the possibility of Sc
curing aid from the Canadian govern
ment to build railroad into this dis
trict. We secured as reliable data as
we could and forwarded it to Ottawa.
Finally an appropriation of $1,000 was
passed by the parliament and the sur
yeyors were ordered to take the field
his year.
There are two practical routes by
which this country might be reached
by railroad. One of these is from
point on the Canadian Pacific; the
other is from Dyea. AS far as we were
able to ascertain neither presents many
difficulties.
THAT from Dyea would be the
shortest for the reason that only some
80 miles Of road would have to be
built, the rest of the route to the mines
being by means of the river. of course
during the winter season this route
would be closed as far as the river is
concerned. This route would do away
with the difficulties of the Chilkat pass
in the early days. 1t would naturally
be a closer means of communication
WIN san Francisco and for that rea-
son is not likely to be favored by the
Canadian government.
The other route is about 500 miles
Dominion of Canada is likely to re-
ceive earnest consideration at the
hands of the government.
The moneyed men of that section
are willing TO assist any enterprise of
this character which will tend to de-
velop the country. The attention of the
world mas been called 10 our country
and the idea that naugfrt but fairy
tales have been written about its
wealth is being quickly diSpelled."

Important Circular Issued From the
Treasury Department.
Washington, July 26.-The following
circular was issued today from the
treasury department.:
ITO collectors and other officers of GUS
toms:
The president having this day APP
proved the tariff act recently passed by
congress, the tariIf act of Aug. IS, 1874,
so far as it has been superseded 10y the
new act. became void and of no effect
at midnight on July %, 1897. (See sy-
nopsis 1881, and 16.14S.) All merchan-
disc entered at the custom house on
and after July "A, under the rate of
the act as mentioned, will be subject to
liquidation under the provisions of the
new act. All existing regulations relat-
ing TO the importing of merchandise
and the proceedings pertaining thereto,
will continue in force and effect. unless
duly modified or revoked.

AMOUNT OF DUTIES.
Sufficient Data Has Not Yet Been
Received.

Received.
Washington, July Ex-senator Allison
was at the treasury department today
and in course of conversation on the
subject said that in his opinion there
was no reasonable doubt that the tariff
act covered all of the day on which IL
became a law This also is the view
of all the prominent officials Of the
treasury department, including the
collectors of customs at New York and
several of the leading ports of the coun-
try.
Sufficient data upon which to base a
close estimate of the amount of duties
involved has not been received, but it is
stated roughly that it probably will be
between sl00, 900 and 100000. The in
ternal revenue department Will save
even a greater amount by the new rul-
ing than the customs branch OF the
service. During the five days from
Tuesday July 20 10 and including Satur-
day July a, the internal revenue stamp
agencies sold approximately S0,1Sl, S00
in heer stamps alone, and of this amount
it is estimated that no more than one
third or 81, 727, 266 reached their destina-
tion before the act went into efct. The
saving to the government on these sales
of beer stamps alone is expected to
aggregate not less than S1S3,O00- Com
missioner Forman today telegraphed
all stamp agents TO settle on the OASIS
of the increased rate of ~ cents per
barrel. and it is expected that these in
structions will apply TO all cases where
the stamps were not actually affixed to
the packages before the new rate be-
came operative. No figures as to the
amount of cigarette stamps disposed OF
have vet been received. but II is be-
ueved that the sales have been alb
normally large as the rate of tax on
cigarettes, speaking generally, was IN
creased 100 per cent, or from 90 cents
ner / 600 to 81. The inducements to
tobacco manufacturers to lay in large
SUNNY were even greater than in the
case of the brewers.

GOOD ADVICE GIVEN.
What ..Tenderfeet" and Others Must

Champagne, Ills, July 26.-S. III.
Phelps of this city. who is one of a
party contemplating going to the gold
fields of Alaska has just received a let
ter from his cousin. Alfred P. SWINE
ford of Marquette, Mich, regarding the
country Mr.. Swineford, who was gov

doubt about the abundance OF gold. but
adds:
Unless you are prepared to take
your life in your hands and encounter
such hardships and such perilous un-
dertakings as are hard even to picture
to the Imagination in getting there,
after you have reached Alaska: unless
you are prepared fer the extreme win

endure black flies and mosquitoes that
render life almost uncomfortable, don't
go.
AT all events. don't venture on it
this season. The Klondyke is LOCO miles
