Seattle. Wash, Aug. 10.-The steam
ship Willamette and the tug Pioneer
attached to which were two big barges
have left this city with over 200 horses,
75 cattle and 600 tons of miners outfits,
together with several hundred miners,
for Alaska. In addition to the forego-
ing cargo were : 600 sacks Of oats. about
l000 900 feet of lumber and $4,000 gallons
Of water. The trip to Dyea will be
made in 10 or Il days.
News comes from the north that min
ers are now getting over the pass and
that a heavy duty is charged by the
Canadian government. but has not Sc
rously interfered with the great rush.
The novelty Of the Klondke excitement
Is wearing off, however, and persons in
this city are taking a more sober view
of the matter. Hundreds of eastsrners
will walt till spring.
Before long stories of suffering will
surely reach here not from Klondike,
but from Dyea. 1t is fact that scat
tered along the trail above Dyea are
about 5000 miners, who seem to be
making no progress toward Dawson
City. Hundreds of them went north
with less than one years provisions
and no horses or dogs. They knew
nothing of the hardships in store and
are trying to pack stuff over the trail
on their backs-something impossible on
one trip. Dozens of boys who knew
nothing of manual labor are among
them. But even men who took horses
or dogs or who have money to pay to
have supplies packed are making no
progress and must either find relief or
return.
1t Is said thar the country beyond
Dyea Is so swampy as to be almost I'M
passabe. Indian guides are charging
enormous rates to pack goods. The Ca
madam government, through the mount
ed police, refuses to allow miner to
enter British territory unless he has one
years provisions The outside world
has no idea of the condition of some
men who went north. There are many
men on the way to the geldfelds with
less than $100 each, when the duty itself
will amount to that much.
In this part of the world 1t is still
warm, but winter is fast coming on in
the country of the north, and tales of
suffering and starvation must come
down. 1t is believed that newspaper
correspondents who have gone or are
going by way of St. Michaels will make
a mistake. 1t is on the route between
Dyea and Dawson City that the best
news from the north will come within
the next three or four months. The
willamette passenger list was over
1000.

New Regulations For the Fields.

Toronto, Aug. 1O.-A special to The
Globe from Ottawa says that the Do
minion government has reached several
important decisions in regard to the
Yukon country and the working of the
godfields there.
1t has been decided to appoint an
administrator for the district, who will
nave entire charge of all the Canadian
officials there and be the chief execu-
tive officer of the government. Major
Walsh, a former commander of the
Northwest mounted police, is to be ap-
pointed to the position.
The mining regulations have been
amended in an important particular
AT present a miner is at liberty to
stake out a claim of 500 feet running
along with the stream and back to the

leet, and the new regulation will go

court for the administration of civil
and criminal justice for the gold dis
trlct has been decided upon. Mr.. JUS

side over the court.

Reunion at wi1son Creek.

Springfield Mo-, Aug. 10.-The Will

began yesterday. Today is the thirty
sixth anniversary of the historical bat
tie of Wilson Creek, which took place
ten miles south of this city. The city
is crowded with visitors, and there was
an imposing street parade yesterday.
Although it had been decided by the
committee that no Confederate flag
should go in the procession, one was
carried by the side of Union flag. and
it was greeted all along the line with
cheers. 1t is believed this is the lar

FOR GOLD SEEKERS.
rhe Cramps of Philadelphia Will
Launch Two Steamers.
WILL Be SUBSTANTIALLY BUILT.
VIII Have Superior Accommodations For
the Passengers and BE Well Supplied
With Heating Apparatus-May
Increase the Fleet.

Philadelphia, Aug. 10.-The rush Of
gold seekers to the Klondike and Alas
kan goldfelds has resulted in an order
for two steel steamers being placed
with the William Cramp Ship and En-
elne Building company by the North
American Transportation and Trading
company, which controls all the traffic
in the most northern territory of the
limited States.
C. II. Hamilton, the general manager
Of the company, awarded the contract
at Seattle, and the vessels are to be
pushed to completion as quickly as pos
sible. Both are intended to be used ex-
clusively in the trade between Seattle
and st. Michaels, where the prospectors
and the goods are transferred to boats
on the Yukon river and are taken to
Dawson City and other points in the
Klondike.
The vessels to be constructed are to
be the finest on the Pacific engaged in
coastwise trade and will not be run on
any other line of the company.
Capacity of the Vessels.
Each is to be of steel, of 1000 tons
burden, and besides having the carry
lng capacity Of ordinary cargo boats
they will have accommodations for 200
first class passengers and 500 second
class passengers. so that the prospectors
rushing to the goldfelds will meet with
no difficulty in securing transportation.
Like that of most vessels trading to
northern ports where ice, either fast
or floating. is encountered for nine
months of the year, the structural work
will he most substantial. and the bows
will be constructed so as to destroy
Ice and yet sustain no damage from it.
Both will be single screw steamers,
with $500 horsepower engines. The pas
senger accommodations will be much
superior to those of the present lines,
It being purposed to fit up the new
boats as finely as the transpacific
steamers. Owing to the intense cold
they will encounter. particular attention
will be given to the heating apparatus
Manager Hamilton intimated that IL
the rush continued it would be neces-
sary to still further increase the feet
of vessels sailing to the north.

Boston. Aug. 1.-THE directors of the
Massachusetts Benefit Life association
had a long session in relation to the
question of continued existence of the
association, but it was without definite
result. There was much discussion.
but the sentiment finally prevailed that
no radical action should be taken un
til the policy holders have had full
opportunity to express themselves by
paying the pending assessment or by
withholding the same until the expira-
tion of the time limit, which would be
equivalent to an abandonment Of the

The farmers are certainly cured Of the
free silver craze. They are now selling
their wheat at dollar OF more per bushel
in gold. with which they can go into any
silver country OF the world and buy any
commodities Of the home value Of So,
They will certainly appreciate the yalae
Of honest money and thenceforth they will
not be willing hearers for cheap money
demagogues. The severest lesson OF the
silver slump is for the working men OF the
silver countries. Mexico, the most en-
lightened OF the silver nations, is now
suffering from a large increase n the
cost Of all necessities Of life because OF
the reduced price OF silver, while the
wages have not increased at all because
Of the general depression in business. The
Mexican laborer earns from 20 cents 10
81 per day. payable in the silver coin Of the
country, and with that he can only get
% per cent Of its nominal value. Wages
are little If any higher now than when
silver was equivalent to gold in Mexico.
and yet the wages paid will not purchase
for the wage Garner one-half the food and
raiment he could purchase when gold was
in circulation in that country. Not only
the farmer but the laborer Of the coun-
try must be speedily undeceived as to any
possible advantages from the free coinage

wages for those who labor and high prices
for all the necessaries Of life, and 70
farmers it means diminished consump-
ton Of farm products and inevitable de-
cline in the market prices because Of the
