EXODUS FROM JUNEAU.


PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, July 19.-
The excursion steamer Queen has ar
rived from Alaska with 10 passengers
principally tourists. The officers OF
the Queen state that the merchants and
tradesmen in both juneau and Sitka
are closing their stores and shops anu
fastening to the new Ei Dorado Fifty
business men left Juneau for Dawson
City on July 70 and $50 would leave on
the 10th, two days after the Queen
sailed. The officers say that by the
time the Queen returns to Juneau on
her return trip, nine days hence, there
will not be an able bodied man left in
town. Many men are leaving Juneau
for the gold fields without provisions
or means to buy them.
The steamer Al Ki sailed for Alaska
Ht midnight. She carries 40 horses and
1000 sheep for Dyea, where they will
be landed and driven across the sum
init to the Yukon valley. Stockmen
say the sheep are the finest band ever
collected off eastern Washington
ranges. They will be taken to Circle
City and Klondyke and slaughtered.
Any kind of fresh meat there sells at
90 cents per pound.

kLONOYkE TREASURE.
The Amount of Gold Brought by
the Stea' or Portland.
BELIEVED TO Be NEARLY TWO MILLIONS.
Only Miners Law Now Rules the Camp,
But Municipal Government VIII
Soon Be Established at
Dawson City.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 19.-The
amount of treasure brought down from
the famed ilondylSe region by the
steamship Portland is now placed at
81, 500 O00 and there is good reason tc
believe that the sum was nearer to
81, 600, 600. In this connection, some
thing in the nature .of a confidence
game appears TO have been worked on
the North American Trading & Trans
portation Co., or its officials in charge of
the Portland miners. Each man was
required to place his gold dust in the
ships safe. but this was not done by
any means. Many of the miners Sc
creted their dust in blankets and lug
gage, which were taken either to their
state rooms or thrown carelessly about
the ship.
Clarence }. Berry, one of the Klon-
dyke kings, brought down at least
Ss4 600 in nuggets, not a cent of which
the Portland had any record. The
statement is made on the authority Of
Capt VIM. Kidson, the master Of the
vessel.
At present only miners laws rule the
camp, but next year Dawson City will
be incorporated and municipal officers
elected. The miners are determined
ON one thing, however, namely, that
order will be preserved at all hazards.
No sure thing gamblers will be permit
ted in either Dawson City or the dig
gings.
Information comes from Juneau to
the effect that several rich strikes have
recently been made in the neighbor-
hood of Forty Mile, 1t has been chris
tened Minute Creek, and is now pan
ming out S22 day to the man, Anoth-
er discovery on American Creek, 30
miles below Forty Mile camp, is said
to be paying WELL and a great number
of men have fiocked there during the
last few weeks. The pan runs from
SO to SIS 1t is thought Likely that
many of the prospectors will strike for
these camps, thus relieving the strain

(HE SUGAR SCHEDULE,
tho Republican Couforeos Report
Phoir Agreement
TO The full CONFERENCE COMMITTEE,
Ahe Sugar Schedule, as Now Arranged.
wan Materially Increase the Rev.
enue From the Saccharine
Source.

WASHINGTON, July l0.-The repub-
lean conferccs reported the arrcamant
they had reached on the tariff bill to
the full conference committee, and also
made public statement concernfno
the conference report, in which it
reviewed the changes made. OF sugar
the statement says:
The house dilfcrential between raw
and refined sugars and the general
features of the house schedule are pre-
served, and the senate amendments in
| creasing the differential to one-ffth
and providing for a reduction of one
tenth of the duty on raw sugars not
above 81 degree, which would have
given duty of l39 on IS degree
and only L26 ON 81 degree
sugar are not adopted. In Difference
to the wishes of those interested in
beet sugar production, that the senate
rate Of 195 on refined sugar might be
retained as an increased encourage
ment to this industry, the duty on raw
sugars IS increased seven and one-half
hundredths so as to make the increase
on them the same as the increase on
refined sugar, and thus leave the diff
lerentlal between raw sugar and re-
lined the same as in the house bill
And to meet the objection which has
been urged that the house rates on low
grade raw sugar show a higher ad
valorem thar those on the higher
grades the duty on 75-degree sugar is
reduced tive-hundredths of one cent,
and then the duty per degree1ncreased
regularly from three-hundredths las
provided in house bilD to three-and-a-
half-hundredths, in order to raise the
duty on raw sugars the same as on
refined
BY this arrangement the duty on
raw sugars of 100 degrees purity is
raised from LIS (as proposed original
ly by the house, to 1.S2l5, and the duty
on refined sugar is raised from 1. .s755
las provided originally by the house,
to L95, thus giving the same differ
ential Of .12j5 between raw and refined
sugar at this point as originally given
by the house.
as this arrangement will increase
the revenue over 81 600, 600, and at the
same time give additional encourage
ment to the production of sugar in this
country, it is thought to be desirable |

OLD LANDMARK GONE.

in East st. Louis and one closely con.
nected with the past history of the

stroyed Sunday. A large cottonwood

island for probably 100 years. and
about which many romances and
tales, true and false, have been writ.
ten, fell down, the collapse being due
to senile debility. 1t is said that
under this tree four famous duels
were fought. The first was between
Chas, Lucas and Thos. II. Benton, Au-
gust IL, 1917, in which Lucas was
wounded. The second took place on
September %, 1917, with the same prin.
cipals, in which Lucas was killed. The
third was on January 80, 1898. between
Thomas C. Rector and Joshua Barton,
in which Barton was killed. On Au-
gust %, 1880, Thomas Biddle and Con-
gresham Spencer Pettis fought under
its boughs, and both received wounds
from which they died.

LEADING TO A CRISIS.
cnocess Of the Strike stin Depends
Upon West Virginia.
STRIKERS DRUMMING UP RECRUITS,
While There is Acquiescence in Some
Quarters 1t is of the Half Hearted
Kind and is Lacking in
Enthusiasm.


prrrsBURGH, Pa, July 10. Unless the
miner, leaders are able to get the West
Virginia dggers out early this week,
,be local strike situation promises to
crow very interesting about the last of
bis week. and to come to a crisis next
Monday. Several OF the local opera
TORS have announced that they are
tired seeing their contracts get
sway from them, and that the
mines now supplying their trade
must be stopped or their own mines
will be put in operation. The district
board of the miners organization have
been notified as above by a corps of the
more important operators. As was said
early in the strike, all depends on
Pittsburgh, and unless Pittsburgh is
able to shut down the West Virginia
mines it is probable that the strike
will be broken before there is chance
to complete the arbitration uniformity
arrangement.
Themincrs officials admit that should
any Of the big mines of the distric now
idle be put into operation a ma iority
Of the other diggers of the district
would return to work at once. 1t is
said that should the Boreland, any of
the Robbins or any of the Wheeling
mines be started up the rest would
soon fall into line. This admission
was made by a member of the local
executive board.
The miners officials are banking
everything on the ability of the labor
organizers to get the West Virginians
out. They say that in case the opera
tors do try to transfer the fight to this
district, all the forces now at work in
West Virginia will be broughtinto this
state and put to work.

corps. A halt was made at the mines
| Of the Canonsburg Coal Co.,
where there were armed depu-
ties who ordered them to keep
Oft the company's property. They
halted in a vacant lot nearby and sent
committees over to the mines to gather
together the miners. The miners did
not appear to be in sympathy with the
Strikers, and but very small number
we're Induced to come out and listen to
NE speeches made by a number Of
lle visiting strikers. The mines
Of this company have been closed down

ployed here. There are few who are
Inclined TO strike, but there is no pros
pect tot general strike, as the miners
are now being paid 80 cents, and have
nothing to strike for, unless out of

mines
