who go in, and the Yukon River route,
where the seven river steamers are utterly
inadequate to the freight demands. There
is now strong movement in British Co.
lumbia to open an all-Canadian route
from Vancouver by surveying and build
ing trail over the long distance. This is
rart of the new scramble on the part Of
Juneau. British Colum ba and the Amer
lean Sound cities for the Yukon trade.
There is also an inchoate but much dis
cussed project to shove railroad north.
ward through the Northwest Territory to
the new gold region to secure the trade
and especially to hasten the development
OF the mining resources OF that part OF the
British domain. British Columbia has
recently subsidized several railroads into
new mining regions and the Dominion
Govern ment is quite liberal with subsi-
dies. Extensive new discoveries. espe-
cially of quartz ledges, would probably be
soon followed by such a railroad, and 1T
seems to be part of the near destiny of
the great and spreading gold fields
OF the Yukon.
The railroad will end the golden age of
the Yukon-that is the romantic age,
which is perhaps now reaching its best
when railroad gets in, and no more ro-
mantle trips up vast river or over wild
mountain passes. When the railroad
arrives there will follow mining machin-
ery. quartz mining and all the ways and
looks and scales of enterprising civili-
zation.
The life of the Yukon is changing now
very rapidly. Daring the past year and
before, the men who went in have been
honest, hardy and poor ones, with no
thought OF anything but persistent toll.
Until the Klondyke development the gold
was amassed slowly. and no great fortunes
we're made. There was nothing to lure
birds of prey.
1t has Just been at the stage CORES pond
ing to the earliest of the California days
when the red-shirted miners never locked
their cabin doors or lost their gold dust.
The miners back from the Yukon tell that
when a man caches part of an overload of
provisions along a trail he may find some
missing when he returns, but if so he will
find other provisions exchanged for them
or bag OF gold dust in payment
Now all suddenly tons OF gold are roll
ing around the diggings, ana the speed and
excitement that came to California when
the gold began to pour forth have begun
on the Yukon. Now the parasites, the
gam olers the sharpers, the dangerous
classes will flock in for gold and Tor ad-
venture and this winter and next year Will
bring a change to the social life OF that ut

SIGNS OF SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Hunger and Disco1 ent Appe airing Among
tie Strikers-W Wemen Urging Their
Husbands TO FIqht.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 18.-Hunger
and discomfort are appearing in the Pitts
burg mining district and there is trouble
ahead. Before morning the Boone and
Allison mines at Canonsburg will be in
vaded by 1000 miners. a few days ago
the operators made a requisition upon
the Sheriff of Washington County for sd-
ditIonal deputies, and it is supposed that
there are at least thirty deputies at each
mine well armed. To-day the miners OF
the Mills and Toms Run district held
meeting, at which women openly branded
their husbands as towards. and argued
that they might as we'll fight as starve.
The men said that victory could be won
providing every coal miner in the sections
where the lake trade is supplied would
join the general movement. Plans for
bringing out the miners at the Boone and
Allison mines were discussed, and it was
decided to march Oh the Canonsburg
mines tonight. A brass band and drum
corps was engaged. The procession
marched in three divisions from different
sections, modified at Bridgeville, and will
tramp twelve miles across country.
Several prominent local fnancers to.
night sent telegram to President Nc
Kinley urging him to use his best infu-
ence, ''as far as convenient and proper"
uniformity plan and arbitrate the price
question. They conclude: This seems
to be the only hope of ending the struggle,
the consequences of which, if permitted
to continue. can hardly be foreseen."
WHEELING, w. VA, July 18.-The
feeling of unrest among the miners of the
MoDongahela district the past few days
has been increased by news of the success
OF the union agitation in the Norfolk and
Western district, and in view of the re-
newed efforts of the miners agents it
seems certain that break in the district
will occur tomorrow. A crowd of several
hundred Monongahela dIggers neld
secret meeting to-day, at which the situa
tion was discussed, but the men refused
to state whether definite action would be
taken.
One of them intimated that matters
would remain quiet until the Debs meet
Ing, which may be held on Tuesday. In
the southern part of the State, where 1000
men struck yesterday, efforts will be made
to get the Fla:-Top miners out. Dingee's S
miners have promised to strike Monday.
They will very likely be followed by the
Flat-Top men, and thus the entire pro-
duction of coal in Southern West Virginia
will cease.

Sales of California F,,,t,.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 1s.-There
was an active midsummer demand for
fruit last week. Prices were generally
satisfactory to wholesale dealers except
for plnms and prunes, which were in over
supply and sold at unusually low rates.
The market was firm on all other kinds of
seasonable fruit and strong at the close of
business on Saturday.
There were slxty-one carloads OF Cali
iornia fruit sold at pubic auction, against
fifty carloads the previous week and forty-
nine carloads the corresponding week of
last year. Bartlett pears sold readily at
from 81 so to So 10 a box, according to size
and condition. Receipts were large and
are expected TO increase for several weeks,
reaches are IN ample supply, but many
were sc soft they sold only at nominal
rates. Sound ones are in good demand
ana command 81 to 81 40 box. Plums
ana prunes sold at S5 cents to 81 20 a box.

fcult provision to carry out. Any loss
that might possibly be sustained by this
tax on bonds and stocks is more than
made up by the action OF the conference
in the restoration of argoIs to the dutiable
list.
The very last item In the bill to be
agreed to in conference yesterday and one
that caused very prolonged, heated con-
troversy, was the Senate amendment re-
lating to reciprocity. The new provision
IS combination OF the Senate and House
propositions, there being a radical change
In the list OF articles that are to form the
pase OF reciprocal arrangemen Aldrich
was the only member of the conference
VINO remained loyal to the proposition TO
Keep works of art on the free list. In the
new law paintings, statuary and all works
OF art. except books for libraries (Which
remain free). are restored to the dutiable
list. together with cotton ties, burlaps,
mating, etc. Cotton ties take a specific
duty OF half cent, and on other articles
there has been light decrease of the Sem
ate rate. The wool schedule as agreed to
provides for duty of IL cents a pound on
hrst class, IL cents on second class, ard on
thlrd-ciass woods cents pound on that
below II cents a pound in value and 8
cents a bove that of II cents in value.
Duty on hides has been fixed at Is per
cent ad valorem, instead OF 20 per cent, as
fixed by the Senate bill.
The House made a strong fight to have
hides restored to the free list. This para
graph may provoke some debate in the
Senate, and indeed the Democrats declare
there are many of the provisions to which
they will not agree. Some time ago the
Democrats served notice on their Repub-
lican colleagues that If articles placed on
the free list by the ombination OF Demo-
cratic, Popullst and Republican votes
should be restored TO the dutiable list.
they would debate the bill for months, if
necessary, in order to have their way.
They are still making their threats, but
the Repu blican leaders are not at all fear
ful they will carry their point. They ex-
pect TO bring the bill to vote after three
or four days debate.
