Steamers Departing from Victoria Loaded
with Plospectors and Their Outfits.
VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 15,-There were
in Victoria this morning close upon
1000 men of every class and from every
part of the world who were just crazy
to get started on the long trip to the
new Eldorado. These men had tickets
which will carry them to Skaguay
bay on the big collier Bristol, or on
the steamer Islander, both of which
sailed to-day. The Bristol has been lit
ted with hunks, and stalls for horses
from the bottom of her hold to the top OF
her cabin deck, and every bunk and
stall is 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 of the men taking up
IN immense amount of space.
The Islander has just as big crowd,
but much of the space on her is taken
up by 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 possi-
BILE, and when they are of no more use
will be killed and used as food for he
dogs. A few of the men are going up
with the idea of purchasing cheap out
fits from men who became discouraged
and are turning back; but most of
/ them are we'll provided for and all are
taking pack animals, they having in
in this respect taken the advice of mon
who went before, and have written of
the difficulty of securing animals or
Indians to pack goods across the pass.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j., Aug. 16.-Two
venturcsome bathers were drowned in
the surf here yesterday. They were
Thomas c. Laswell, aged 81, of Prince
ton, Ind, and an unknown man, sup
posed to be an excursionist from Phil
adelphia. Young Laswell came here
yesterday morning with his friend, T.
NJ. Perrott, also from 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 Is minutes in full view of about
10000 people gathered on the pier,
board walk and beach. Perrott 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 lifeguards named Reed was
also overcome in the water and was
rescued in an unconscious condition.
Late in the afternoon the body OF
Laswell came ashore, 1t was turned
over to local undertaken, who pre-
pared it for shipment to Indiana
When Laswell checked his valuables a.
the bath house, where he obtained his
bathing suit, he laughingly remarked
to the clerk:
81 viii leave my address so that in
case am drowned you can send my
| yaluables home"
The second drowning occurred about
| three o'clock in the afternoon, and the
body of the drowned man had not
come ashore up to q late hour.
The surf yesterday was the heaviest
Of the season, owing to "a heavy gals
which prevailed, and between 20 anc
80 persons were rescued, many of then
women.

BLUFF POINT, N. Y, Aug. 16.-Presi-
dent Mckinley, Vice President and
Mrs. Hobart, Mrs. Alger and Master
Hobart comprised the presidential
party which attended the Trinity Epis-

especially the music.
The president remained indoors
after his return to the hotel. He was
an interested observer of great
