Additional and confruatory informa.

There Il Likely to BE Much Suffering i'm
ting Klondyke Country.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 22.-Fred
Price, Seattle man, who has returned
from Klondyke, says that there is great
fear Of suffering on the part of those
who attempt to go into that country
without an abundance Of supplies Of
provisions. He does not believe the
trading companies can begin to supply
the demand which will be made on
them. Price thinks the men who take
up horses to cross the pass from Dyea
will do well. They can get their pro.
visions in easy that way and sell the
horses for dog meat afterwards.
He also advises newcomers to look for
claims on other creeks besides the trib.
utaries Of the Klondyke, the latter be.
ing pretty we'll staked out. Stewart
River creeks promise as well rs the
Klondyke. He says further that gam
bling deas and dance halls have already
opened in Dawson. Games of every
description are funning are running,
and some Of the piners play very heavy.
They go into the mining town in sheer
desperation at the loneliness, and gloom
Of winter, and gamble in recklessness to
break the monotony. Price says it is
hard to get along in Dawson City on
less than $50 day, and many Of the
men spend ten times that much. He
claims that one saloon cleared up $780,
600 in three weeks this summer.

MINISTER okvNA's VIEWS.

Says Japan Must Oppose Hawaiian Annex.
alton to tho Utmost.
VANCOUVER. July 22.-Count Okuna,
foreign minister Of Japan, says regard
ing the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States: Z
''The foreign Office is not surprised at
the proposed annexation. We simply
protest against it. The importance Of
the islands will be immensely increased
by the construction Of the Nicaraguan
or Panama canal and it is absolutely
necessary, therefore, to leave the coun.
try independent. In voyaging to the
far East, steamers starting from Europe
or America must call at Hawaii. To
have them incorporated into the Union
would involve international interests in
the Pacific ocean. Another reason is
this: Annexation would impair the
rights and privileges which Japan is
enjoying in Hawaii. The protest was
therefore entered ON these grounds.
Leaving aside the attitude Of other
powers, the question is, what will Japan
do il, under any circumstances, the an.
nexation is carried into practice in spite
Of the protest Of Japan? Japan must
oppose it to the utmost. Annexation
must not be recognized"

NEW ARBITRATION TREATY.

LONDON, July 22.-It is learned that
while the statements in the. English
press to the effect that Sir Julian

treaty are untrue, it is fact that Sir
Julian discussed the question with Sec.
retary Sherman and since his arrival

bury. There is the best reason for be.
ieving that the matter will be re-opened
at Washington in October, and that a

It is thought that the matter would
not have been revived unless the feeling
Of leading United States senators had
