EXTINCT ANIMALS.
Many Gases of Their Bones Arrive
at Central Park.


New York, Aug. 3O.-One hundred
huge cases that have just arrived at
the Museum of Natural History in Cen
trai park are regarded with more than
usual satisfaction by the directors of
the museum. They are the bones of
the remarkable specimen of extinct ami
mails, dug out of the earth many feet
below the surface of Wyoming, He-
braska, Colorado and Texas. They are
the first consignment of the results of
the summers work Of the numerous
expeditions sent out by the museum
In these 100 cases there is one perfect
specimen of a flying lizard that was
II feet long. Professor W. Mathews
said there were numerous other sec
tons of lizards, but only one complete
specimen, which was taken from Kan
sas SOIL 1t belonged to 2 period of
ages before man was dreamed of, and
flew like bat in the night and fed on
fishes. Professor Mathews. who had
charge of an expedition to Kansas, has
just returned. On his way back he got
into Wyoming with Professor Worth
maun's expedition. When that section
returns to New York early in October
there will be brought along a monster
lizard over so feet long. 1t is being dug
out Of Wyoming rock now. When he
left IS feet of the creature was in sight,
and it was estimated 20 feet more re-
manned to be excavated.
Then there is the missing link
horse. Museums all over the country
have never had bones of this creature
enough to build up an Ineligible skel-
eton SO that the public could under
stand it. Now q Nebraska expedition
has sent back samples Of bones of the
missing link" horse that have not

horse from his first known form down
to the most modern racer or miserable
plodding car horse.

Every Effort Is Being Made to I'm

prove It.
Seattle, Wash. Aug. 29.-The steamer
City of Kingston arrived today from
Dyea and Skaguay. The following let
ter was brought from the Associated
Press correspondent:
Skaguay, Alaska. Aug. 25-The new
deputy collector of customs at Skaguay-
Dyea has imposed a duty of $50 q head
ON all Canadian horses unloaded at this
port from Canadian territory to be used
IN packing owners outfits over the sum-
init. Since the newBritisf1 collector few
days ago announced that this govern
ment would waive all duty on miners
clothes and outfits intended for per-
sonal use, for the next six months, it is
reared this action on the part of the
United States collector will react on
American miners. The duty was paid
Under protest. The collector also as
sunaed the right to appraise horses at
their value here. One man paid $40
on a horse that cost him $500 at Vic
toria-
An effort is being made to improve
the Skaguay trail. The miners camped
at Skaguay and on the trail are to do
the work while the citizens Of Skaguay
furnish all food and transportation of
supplies. There are not less than 5000
miners between the landing and summit
and all travel is suspended. Trees nave
been felled across the trail, and no one

tire trail is finished
There are only five bad hills where
much blasting will be needed; the rest
can be done With picks, axes and
shovels.
Charles King, of Tacoma, an ex-
perinced railroad contractor will be
superintendent of construction. There
are several civil engineers here with
their instruments and they viii proceed

will be completed and thrown open to
travel in from 10 to Is days at latest.
and it is thought it can then be kept
open all winter
There are four ships in the harbor
unloading, the FaTallon of San Fran
cisco, having just anchored with $50
passengers and $50 horses on board: the
Elder with 1872 passengers and the same
number of horses; the City of Kingston
with IFS passengers and Go horses
dropped anchor just a hours ago, and
IS about unloaded. making the quickest
dispatch of any vessel in the harbor.
The Bristol Of Victoria has been here
five days and has hardly begun unload
Ing as the charterers refused to fur
nish lighters to land the stock and sup
plies and also refused to furnish meals
to the passengers after the boat had
dropped anchor. The passengers ap-
pealed to the vigilance committee
this morning and the chairman went
aboard to interview the captain and
purser. After 2 stormy interview the
captain and purser engaged the Ajax,
a lighter brought up by the steam tug
Pioneer Of Seattle, and the passengers
are helping 20 unload the ship.
The price Of whisky has jumped in
the last ten days 50 and s. per gallon
10 500 on account of the many seizures
made by the new revenue officers, who
have captured about 20 barrels in that
time.

FORECAST IMPOSSIBLE.
1T is simply impossible to forecast

Sovereign.
1T seems to me, however, he con-
tinued, that al; labor organizations
realize than the time has come for
them to put aside all petty ieaIousies
and form one grand amalgamation.

fected here 1 cannot even surmise. Or

nope for better results"
Branching off into the miners strike,
Mr.. Sovereign said: This miners strike
is nearer WON than many people be-
Heve. If ever there was a real griev-
ance and just cause for striking. it
was in this strike, and l believe they
will win yet.
IF" said Mr. Sovereign in couc1u-
sion, they don't win. it is the last
strike L will ever go into On these
lines
What new line OF action Mr.. Sover-
eign had. he declined to say.
PLAN OF ACTION.
Grant Luce. chairman of the COM
naittee on arrangements, said that he
had been advised that Messrs. Ratch-
ford and Gomp5rs and one or two 9TH
ers had met in Columbus and arranged
q plan of action for the conference,
which they will present at the confer
enna tomorrow.
Debs will arrive in the morning. The
object of tomorrow's conference, as far
as can be ascertained. is to devise
means for the relief of the striking
miners and to protest against govern
ment by injunction
Secretary H. W. Steinbess of the
Building Trades Council of St Louis,
who has done much to bring the con-
ference into existence, said tonight:
1.-THE object of the meeting is to set
tie the miners strike. We want justice
and we are going to have it, but not in
defiance of the principles of American
liberty. We are patriotic and we want
what is for the best interests of the
entire country.
Il think the greatest result of this
meeting will be the uniting of all the
labor organizations in this country in
one common cause. 1t will, without
any question. lead to the union Of all
the labor organizations in one central
body. in which united action can be
taken for the interests of labor on
every question that may affect their
interests"

HARDLY OPENED.

THE field is hardly opened up as yet,
but those going in now must bear in
mind that everything in that region
was staked long before any reports
reached the outer world, and that they
must prospect for themselves, buy
claims from the present owners or work
for the owners.
mo new strike had been reported up
to the time of my leaving, and another
may not be made for five years, al
though Alaska is an enormous country
and will yet, I believe, produce more
gold than we dream of. But it is also
in many ways a bleak, barren, desolate
country country incapable of sup
porting any great amount of animal life
and a country of such rigorous climate,
both winter and summer, that none
but the most hardy can possibly live
in it. Even they must have an abu1d-
anee of food and warm clothing.
Il am aware that there is a popular
impression that supplies can be bought
in the vicinity Of the mines. They may
at present buy at six times Seattle
prices, but they are taken at even those
prices faster than they can be got in,
and before winter is half over if even
the present population stays in, there
Will be actual starvation.
AVERAGE SUPPLIES.
The average man requires about one
ton of carefully selected food and cloth
ing for a years supplies. In the sum-
mer of 1896 about $500 tons OF supplies
went up the river and the population
OF l,500 to 1000 suffered from want OF
this $500 tons probably 1,5G0 tons was
rum, tools, furniture and supplies other
than provisions. This season, allowing
for most favorable circumstances, not
more than 200 tons Of supplies can be
got up the river, fully half of which is
rum and tools, as we'll as supplies other
than food. There are more than three
times as many people in there than
last winter. Figure it out for your
self

this spring, and il last winter there was
such scarcity that moose hams sold

"Who was that?" interrupted Thorn

standing like a sentinel over the corn

II didn't see anybody" replied Elsie,
looking troubled.
"But I'm sure did; while you were
speaking caught glimpse of man
standing in the shadow of that rock
just beyond the stream. He looked like
another Rip Van Wrinkle" Philip
stopped and sent his memory back over
the last few days in search of something.
II know now" he went on; Il was sure
I'd seen him before. He was in the gar
den with your father one morning when
l came downstairs, and he ran away
when he saw me. Who is he?"
II can't tell you; it's his secretand my
fathers. shouldn't have brought you
here when might have known you'd
ask questions. Will you forgive me and
promise you won't say anything about
what you've SEEM"
"That is very feminine-to ask for
giveness and exact promise all in one
breath; but I'll overlook it this time
and promise to be as dumb as an oyster
Only wish you would tell me about
him; you've aroused my curiosity until
/ shan't be able to sleep tonight"
Elsie shook her head doubtfully. 81

forgive myself if any harm came to him
through me-"
"But don't understand. hope YOU
don't think that I'd hurt any friend Of
yours. On the contrary, I'd be glad tt

"Oh, he does; he needs friends sc
much! He's a poor, lonely old man

upon feminine curiosity knew not
whereof he spake. AS compared with
the greed for enlightenment which as
sails the masculine mind at the bare
scent of mystery, the curiosity Of
woman is but q sedative. Philip was
no exception to the rule governing his
sex, and the pathos in Elsie's voice was
becoming quite irresistible.
"Tell me about him." he urged; "I'll
promise anything you can ask in the
way of secrecy and discretion" and,
as she still hesitated, he did not scruple
to lay snare in her way by adding:
"Im quite prepared for the worst you
can say; I'll be dumb even if you tell
me that the old man is an escaped muir
derer."
"Oh, no, moi" she said, quickly; at
isn't anything like that! He did wrong
in the first place, but that was years
and years ago, and he didn't under
stand; and now the others have been
so mean to him!"
81 think you'd better tell me about
it," said Philip, gravely; "if you don't,
may imagine it's worse than it really
is, you know"
If Elsie did NOT answer at once it was
not because she was afraid to trust
Thorndyke, but rather for the reason
that the daughter Of James Duncan
could not well help inheriting some
thing of his cautious habit. At length
she said: perhaps you could think
of some way to help him; I'll tell you
the story, but you mustn't say anything
about it at home till after I've told
father. Let's move back little way,
so he can't see us from down there"
They retreated few steps from the
brow of the cliff and Elsie sat down upon
a log, while Philip stretched himself
upon the grass ct her feet.
"rhe trouble commenced long time
ago, when the mountaineers used to
make whisky and sell it to the valley
people," she began. "They knew it
was against the law, but don't think
they cared much about that, and, any
way, they kept ON till one time the
| revenue officers raided the mountain.
At that time John Kilgrow was living
] on little farm over yonder where you
see the old orchard, and for years he
had been in the habit of making few
gallons of apple brandy from the apples
that he couldn't sell. I'm sure he never
thought he was doing wrong; and
father says-he never sold any of the
! brandy, though he used TO give it away,
sometimes, to his neighbors. Besides
the place up here, he owned farm in
the big valley, and that was rented out
to man by the name Of Gates.

learned that the invalid and Elsie were

farmhouse as he had just been to reach
It. On the way back to town he had
another impatient argument with him
