No greater cr8wd ever assembled
on The wharves at Seattle than that
which witnessed The departure OF the
steamer CITY of Mexico for Dyea yes
terday. On the Mexico were 2S3 pas
sengers, who left 10 seek their Tor
tunes in the KlOndyke The adVertls-
ed time of the sailing was 3 O'Clock,
but il was considerably after IL o'clock
before she left Long before that time
the wharf was blocked with people,
who were on hand to witness the de-
parture. and the crowd spread out
along the wharyes and docks TO the
north for nearly q mile. In addition
TO her passengers the Mexico carried
I 500 tons of freight, consisting almost
entirely of outfits of gold seekers. } She
had on board As horses, TO be used in
packing the supplies over the Chilcot
pass from Dyea to Lake Linderman.
More people are anxious TO so TO
Alaska and the Yukon country than
can pOssiblv be accommodated az the
present time Ii Is believed by many
that the vessels now fitting out at San
Francisco and destined for Dawson
City by way of St. Michaels, Will never
reach the former place. The river be-
gins to freeze about September 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.
The rush 10 Alaska has developed
hundreds of schemes to secure the
dollars of the gold-craZed people Many
TRANSPORTATION companies have been
formed which agree for ridlculously
low rates 10 take miners 10 Dawson
CITY and supply years food. Most
of these have chartered small gasoline
scho0uers. finn which they declare they
will take their passengers TO the klon-
dyke. As these vessels Will draw from
tour 20 ten feet of water. and there is
not more than TWO or three IN the
Upper Yukon il is impossible for any
of them 20 reach Dawson, and those
who go by these routes Will have TO
wait till the river freezes and haul
their outfits over the ice.
Port Townsend, Wash, July 26.-
The steamer Mexico has left here with
900 passengers. an except 90 being
bound for the gold fields. All went
well provisiOned and equipped. Many
have supplies for a three years stay.
The party was made up of men repre-
sentiug all callings and professions,
including many Jime-scarred veterans
who Joined the similar rush 10 the gold
fields i'm California nearly half a CEN
fury ago.
From a miner who came down from
Alaska on the Portland il is learned
that 200 Indians of the Stick tribe
were contemplating coming to the
coast at the head of Dyea inlet for
the purpose of packing freight across
the lakes and down the Yukon river.
If the intention is carried ont Alaska
will have q ful-dea-ed Indian war as
The Chukat tribe has always warned
the Sticks and other interior tribes not

Washington, July 26.-The Secretary
of the Treasury holds that the new
tariff act was in effect at the begin
ming of the day on which it received
the approval of the President and
therefore became operative after mid
night, of Friday, July %. Assistant
Secretary Howell to-day sent the fol-
lowing telegram to collectors Of GUS
toms: Department holds that new
tariff law covers and includes all GUS
toms business of July a."
Later in the day a formal circular Of
instructions covering more fully the
departments views or the subject will
be printed and mailed to all customs
collectors. The opinion of the Attor-
ney General has not been requested on
the matter, the department holding
that the question is OF sufficient inn
portance to justify them in taking it
to the courts for final determination,
lLltDEuNtuL III " ndC AiN NANNs VI N+AS
law officers of the government might
be as to the merits of the case Sena-
tor Allison was at the Treasnr-' De-
partment to-day, and in the course Of
a conversation on the subject said that
in his opinion there was no reasonable
doubt that she act covered all of the
day on which it became a law This
also is the view of all of the prominent
officials of the Treasury Department,
including the collector Of customs at
New York and several Of the leading
ports Of the country. Sufficient data
upon which to base a close estimate
of the amount OF duties involved has
MOI been received, but It is stated
roughly tHGt Il p,S5Jss 5f3",,iiii vii -e be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
The internal revenue department
probably will save even greater
amount by the new ruling than the
customs branch of the service. Dur
ing the FIVE days from Tuesday, July
90, 10 and including Saturday, July "a,
the internal revenue stamp agencies
sold approximately S51S1, 800 in beer
stamps alone and of this amount 1t is
estimated that not more than one-third
or $1,727266, reached their destination
before the act went into effect. The
saving to the government on these
sales Of beer stamps alone is expected
TO aggregate not less than S1S3.000.
Commissioner Forman to-day tele-
graphed all stamp agents TO settle only
on the basis of the in%eased rate Of
~ cents per barrel, and it is expected
that these instructions will apply to all
cases where the stamps were not actu-
ally affixed to the packages before the
new rate became operative.
No figures as to the amount Of cigar
cite stamps disposed of have been re-
ceived. but it is believed that the sales
have been abnormally large. AS the
rate Of tax on cigarettes, speaking gen
orally, was increased 100 per cent, or
from so cents per 1000 to 81, the in
ducements 10 tobacco manufacturers to
lay in a large supply were even greater
than in the case of the brewers.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, W. Va, July 26.-It
is now the opinion of the friends Of
William Beatty, the oil man who was
murdered by Edna Kitchens recently,
that the murderer is in Canada. Beatty
gave her $500 IN cash the day after the
vjriOl throwing and she left the city.
City Detective d. Writ Heaton thinks,
however, that the woman is in hiding
near Meadville, and that he will have
her in few days. When the Penn
syNania officers first communicated
with Heaton il was with postal card
instead of telegraph, and the delays
of the mail permitted her to get away
before he could order her arrest.
When he went to Meadville on this
last trip he is satisfied that she was
i'm R.dgeways sanitarium having her
sore foot treated, but in some way
she became aware Of his presence in
the city and the next evening shortly
after dark was spirited away by friends
and placed in hiding. HeatOn feels sat
isiisd that he has her located and that
i'm q few days he will have her under
arrest.
Mrs. Beatty is evidently befriending
the Kitchens woman, and several OF the
formers friends are giving Mrs. Hitch
ems all The aTr-'tt 81. Up. they are
-2Ssgtc hide her temporarily, but tRtsS
cannot move her without being dis
covered. HeatOn is satisfied he Will
have her safe in Parkersburg inside Of
a week. He also thinks that she has
some friends here who keep her posted
concerning everything that is going on.

Patent for Patching Pigs.

The most ingenious scheme ever de-
vised by the Yankee mind was that of
a man who wished to claim as ex-
clrsively his plan for fattening hogs
by a wonderful method. The plan was
this: Three pig pens were built, one
having several lean scrub swine,
known as "razor-backs," the central
one being empty, and the third con-
tanning the blooded animal which it
was desired to fatten. The scheme was
TO let the fine pig into the central yard
and let him eat all he could out of the
trough. When he had as much as he
could hold, hungry pig would be let
in, and, Of course, begin to eat. 1t be-
ing pigs nature to eat as long as ii
saw another pig do so, the man rea-
soned that the full pig would imme-
diately set to work again and take an
other meal. When the razor-back was
full he was to be taken out and third
hungry pig brought in, when the same
performance would be gone through
again.-Philadelphi Times.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Much discomfort and disquietness
among the fowls at this season of the
year is causing vermin.
A light Brahma hens egg will weigh

Milk is the best feather and bone pro-
Queer that can be used on the farm,

Hens running at large on the farm

will pay.
No longer put off the job of cleaning
up the hen house; clean from top to
bottom; make bonfire of the litter;
whitewash the inside and give the
fowls chance to rest these hot nights.

Cracked wheat for Chicks.

Some cracked wheat should be given
to chicks even before they are week
old. 1t is the best exercise their di-
gestive organs can have. Whole wheat
will be eaten when the chicks are ten
days to two weeks old, and should al
ways form part of their ration. 1t it
especially valuable to make them feath-
er quickly, the grain containing just
the kind of material necessary for
feather production. Where wheat is
largely grown the fowls find enough
scattered grains about barns or sticks,
30 that young chicks Matched in mid
summer will become full feathered be-
fore winter, and will make early spring
layers.
