The Story CorrobOrated.

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept. 27.-
Captain Nelson, master of the tug
Pioneer, corroborates the story of the
snowslide, or more appropriately, land
slide, in the neighborhood of Sheep
Camp. Captain Nelson SAYS:
Three men came to Skaguay beach
Sunday night with story that at
Sheep Camp that morning at $3.50
O'Clock peculiar sound from the south
west side of the mountain was heard,
and before the residents of the camp
could fully dress they found themselves
being rapidly borne down the canyon
on mass of moving debris from the
mountain side. The majority of the
residents of Sheep Camp escaped, al
though the entire town was almost
wholly destroyed.
'The slide struck the town in the
northern part, where nearly all the
packers were quartered in tents and
sleeping the sleep of hard, overworked
men. The main part of the slide from
the mountain missed Sheep Camp
proper, althougn from the report very
little of the town remains. Packers
camp was wholly carried away, and it
is impossible to learn the full names of
the unfortunates, as they were all
known by surnames such as Jack, Jim,
Dick, etc.
"The cause of the slide was reported
to be the action of heavy rains on the
hills where sort of reservoir was
formed, which body OF water forced the
land down into the basin below. Never
before have such heavy rains been ex.
perienced by old Indians in the neigh
borhood of Chilkoot pass"
w. W. Sprague, of Tacoma, return
ing from Skaguay pass, verifes the
boye report.

consisting of rocks, ice and dirt, the
mass having been loosened by the re-
cent unprecedented hard rain which
has been falling continuously for the
past month.
All the bridges on the Skaguay river

The steamer Al-Ki, a week overdue
from Alaska, arrived this morning at

six inches deep at Lake Bennett, and
three inches fell on the summit of Chill

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins \ Company's Review
of Trade,

The renewed export demand has been
the dominating factor in the wheat
market during the last week. The for
ward movement OF the new crop has
been disappointing both in quantity
and in quality, but has been suffi-
GENTLY large to warrant the expecta-
tlon OF fair increase in stocks at CEN
terS OF accumulation. The market is
lacking In speculative support, the VOL
nme of speculation having fallen to the
minimum. This serves to emphasize
the legitimacy of the present advance.
Ihere has been no change in crop pros
PEGS III America and we still maintain
that the present crop will be the second
largest raised in the history of this
country From a speculative point of
view the market now possesses two
SIDES There is no longer any doubt
that Europe requires all of our avail
able surplus. We cannot meet this in
creased draft and at the same time re-
plenish our at present depleted reserves
In all positions. But it must be re-
membered that Europe has already
bought largely and that her necessi-
titles are not entirely for the immediate
present but for the entire crop year.
The increasing movement of the new
crop promises to more than offset the
demand for the time and result in in
creasing stocks.
Corn is king. This has been and is
year of prosperity and advancing
values. 1t is futile to talk of surplus
supplies or the growing crop. The for
mer is unprecedentedly large. The
latter promises to be much smaller than
anticipated, but neither will have but
temporary influence on values. We
are emerging form period of depres-
sion and panic. Every other commod-
ity is advancing in value. Corn is
going to participate in the general ad-
vance. 1t has been selling too low. 1t
is going to sell higher. The shortage
in the wheat, rye and potato crops of
the world insures the substitution of
corn as a food product to an extent
never before known. To argue that
corn is going to sell lower is to main
tain that the panic still exists. Every
one knows better.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Secretary
Bliss, of the department of the interior,
has instructed the commissioner of edu-
cation to have the reindeer now at Tel
Ter station, Alaska, which have been
broken to work, forwaded to st.
Michaels, to be held there for use in
forwarding supplies to the Klondike
country in case of emergency. There
are about eight of the deer, which it is
believed by the administration can be
utilized in this way, and the opinion
prevails that they would be much more
uesful than dogs, because they can
travel more rapidly, draw more, and
can live on the little forage the coun-
try produces. The secretary says that
each reindeer will carry about 300
pounds, and will travel hundred miles
a day. They are to- be sent to st.
Michaels in preference to other places
because of the available stores at that
point.

Export Duty on Gold.

Washington, Sept. 24.-The owners
of gold mines in Nicaragua are worried
over decree published August 15 and
taking effect Immediately, establishing
an export duty of 81 gold per ounce on
gold ingots, and So per ounce on gold
dust. The information comes to the
state department from Consular Agent
Clancy at Bluefields. He says the old
duty was 35.44 cents per ounce on gold.
The mining interests have united in
petitioning the government to revoke
the decree, which they hold would be
ruinous to the new industry. Last
year the gold exports from Bluefields
amounted to $l69,545, an increase of
$31 1886 over the preceding years ship
ment.

SOLDIERS IN DISGUISE.
"ell-Drilled Japanese Steerage Passen-
gers Land at Honolulu

San Francisco, Sept. 24.-If the
stories of the passengers and crew of
the City of Peking, which arrived here
Tuesday evening, be true, state of
affairs exists in Hawaii which demands
the attention of the state department.
When the Peking arrived at Homo
lulu, the attention of passengers on
board was attracted by the remarkable
symmetrical movements OF l74 Japan
ese steerage passengers who were disem-
barking. Although classed as laborers,
their well-drilled and military appear
ance was too palpable to escape observa-
ton, and occasiOned considerable COM
ment. The japanese were evidently
under the command of veteran SER
geant and divided into squads of 20
under nOncommissioned officers.
During the voyage military disci-
pline was observed which created COM
ment among the other steerage passen-
gers and the steamers crew, and many
conJectures were hazarded as to the
meaning of their being shipped to the
islands. 1t was generally believed that
they We're sent 10 the islands fol The
purpose of forcibly resisting annexa-
tion, if necessary.
Rumors of the presence of the emper-
or's soldiers are not new on the islands,
and it is said over 1000 drilled men
have been landed, and about 400 veter-
ans of the Japan-China war were ex-
pected ON the next steamer.

Defences at the Golden Gate.

San Francisco, Sept. 27.-The Unit.
ed States engineers in charge of the
harbor Notifications of San Francisco
have directed that survey be made
on the shore line on the south side of
the bay, and the Golden Gate, from
Black point to Point Lobos. The pur.
pose OF the survey, which has just be-
gun and will be completed week
hence, is to accurately locate the forts
for the information of the war depart
ment.
Army and navy officers here think
the harbor defenses are now sufficient
ly we'll advanced to stand off any fleet
that Spain or Japan could put into ac-
tion here, and they are strong enough
with the assistance of the batteries of
the Monterey and Monadnock type and
with the aid of torpedoes to make a
splendid fight against the best fleet
England would be likely to send here.

Typhoid wiping Out a Family.

Greensburg, Ind, Sept. 27.-An un.

A few days later her mother passed
away from the same disease, and the
fever claimed her husband last Satur-

Ex-Chief of Police of Mexico RESPONSE
BILE for the Death of Arroyo.
City OF Mexico, Sept. 24.-Senor Don
Edurado Velasquez, late chief of police,
today confessed that he directed the
killing of Arroyo, the assailant of Presi-
dent Diaz. Velasquez was removed
from office and placed in prison on sus-
picion of having acquiesced in the kill
ing of Arroyo. Today, during the Off
cial investigation, the ex-polce chief
was placed on the stand and asked to
detail his connection with the affair.
To all questions he responded that he
was great admirer of the president
and he felt that the scandalous attempt
upon his life merited severe punish
ment. The judge permitted this evas-
i've reply for some time, and then Or
dered the inspector to reply directly to
the question, and then he confessed the
part he took in the tragedy.
His servant admitted buying the
knives with which the killing was
done,

Washington, Sept. 27.-A final de-
cision has been reached by the arbitra-
tiors who are to determine the British
Venezuela boundary line as to the fifth
arbitrator, or umpire, who is to act
with him. His name is for the present
withheld. 1t is not Baron Courcel,
whose name has been mentioned in this
connection, nor King Oscar of Sweden,
who was to name the umpire only in
case the arbitrators failed to agree. An
agreement was reached without the
necessity of calling on the Swedish SOW
