Held Up in Okla
hOma.
Messenger Fires at the Rob-
bers, but Is OverpoWered
and Bound.
Futile Attempt to Blow Up the Safe.
Only $500 or 5000
Secured.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA, Aug. IL
the Santa Fe road, was held up by tram
robbers at 12:15 this morning between
this city and Edmond. Six or eight men
were in the party.
The robbers boarded the train at Ed
mond. They were not apparently in one
party. and neither the train crew nor any
OF the passengers noticed anything sus-
picious about them. When the train had
proceeded a few miles out of town the
robbers held up and disarmed the con-
ductor, and while two of them kept guard
over him and the passengers the rest
W. mt through the train.
Two of them climb over the tender
and threatened the engineer. John Rain,
and his fireman with revolvers and COM
PEELED them to stop the train.
Meantime there had been an exchange
OF shots in the eXpress-car. The express
messenger had been ordered TO throw up
his hands and had responded by drawing
his revolver and firing at the robbers but
he was overpowered and bound.
The attack was evidently aimed at the
express car. The robbers made an al
tempt to blow up the safe in the car with
dynamite, but failed, and finding that
they could not open the safe they took
whatever valuables they could lay their
hands on In the car, got off and escaped.
1t is said they secured only $500 or $500.
No attempt was made to rob the passen-
gers. The train proceeded to this city
and detectives have been put on the trail.

MAKE SLOW PROGRESS.
Passengers Who Started North on
Ancient Vessels Have a
Hard Time.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 16.-Some of
the passengers who recently sailed from
Seattle bound for Dyea, st. Michael and
thence to the klondike have already ex-
perienced some hardships on The northern
coast in a mild form. A returning steamer
from Union Vancouver Island, reports
the steamers George Starr, Eliza Ander-
son and Rapid Transit are already meet
ing difficulties. All are cd vessels pressed
into service, especially the Eliza Ander-
son, which has eighty passengers aboard.
She broke down three times before reach
ing Union.
Sue has no modern facilities for con-
de nsing salt water and had to put in and
get water where she could, at creeks The
same applies to the others. The Eliza
Anderson Is leaking badly. Ali the car
penters available were pressed into serv-
ice. She IS said to be leaking 'Iike a
barrel in the sun all summer"
Some OF the passengers decided to re-
turn and go north on stancher vessels.
Provisions are already short and the small
stores about bought out. The most SER
ious aspect is that the vessels are not
suited or such long voyages. as when
they run out of the North h Pacific thew will
be unable to get water. 1t is doubtful if
they reach st. Michael in three months,

Welcomed by Detroit's
Mayor and Michigan's
Governor.
Pingree Talks About Money Af-
fairs and incidentally About
Corporations.
Many Matters of Interest to Fi7an-
clers to Be Considered by the
ASsemblage.

DETROIT, MICH, Aug. 19.-The Ameri-
can bankers annual convention opened
here to-day. Mayor Maybury made an
address of welcome. Governor Pingree
said: "As Governor of the State OF Michi-
gan it gives me great pleasure to welcome
to our chief city this gathering of gentle
men representing the banking interests in
the country. The poor we have always
with US. Not so the fnanciers of the
country. Therefore it gives me especial
pleasure to welcome you to our city and
State"
Governor Pingree said he did not pre-
tend to understand the theory of money,
being an everyday shoemaker, but had
had thought which be wished to start
rolling for discussion. and that thought
was would it be good thing TO place
tax on gold for use in the arts and manu-
facture?
He talked about this being debtor
nation and quoted statistics from the
Mint. OF course, he could not resist
taking fling at corporations, and said a
great cause of complaint against them was
the laws to tempt the people to organize
them for the very purpose OF escaping re-
spons bilitv. 1t is believed the same re-
sponsibility imposed on National banks,
if applied to corporations, would remedy
this evil.
George H. Russell, who replied, called
out the applause of the assembly by say
ing he would not attempt TO give any ad-
vice on money, as h 9 had been N the busi-
ness of banking only eight or nine years
and, of course, was not as well informed
as the Governor.
President Lowrey replied to various ad-
dresses of welcome and dealt with the
needs of the association.
He said in closing: 1.-THE banker has
felt depression and is longing for the re-
turn of prosperity. which has not yet
arrived but is on the way"
Secretary Branch read statistical re-
port as to the growth OF the organization,
and Treasurer William H. Porter tinan-
cial report.
Vice President Hendricks for the execu-
tive council read an elaborate report
recon msnding amendments 10 the con.
stitution. These amendments called for
the appointment of committees by the
emily instead of the president and
increasing State representation in the
council from three to five. The amend
ments were adopted and the conven ton
adjourned until o-morrow.

DEATH is CERTAIN.
Warning to Physically Weak Men
Who Intend to Cross the
Passes In Winter

PORTLAND, On, Aug. 17.-Frank S.
Venables, who, up to three years ago,
was a warrant and money broker here,
writes from Alaska, where he has been
since he left Portland, to an old friend in
this city ominously deprecatlng the cur
rent rush to the Klondike.
'Now, to the poor fellows coming up
here at the beginning of the forbidden
season of the year, as if attracted by
delusive mirage, l can only express my
sympathy" writes he. "If powerfully
descriptive letters, Published in the daily
press, can have any preventive influence
against this insane rush to the Klondike
or any other portion of Alaska just at the
point when the winter of 1897-9S is getting
ready to break loose with its usual fury,
sue letters should daily be>printed in the
American press for humani,y's sake.
Those attempting now and from this
time on till next spring to cross either the
Chilkoot or White pass are taking their
lives into their own hands. Success is
exceedingly questionable, even with men
of DO serful physique. But death is GER
tain in the case OF those not physically
strong or in any way afflicted with an
organic com plant. There are plenty of
that kind OF men here. and, l suppose, an
equal number at Skaguay. Should just
one of our ordinary blizzards strike a
party OF physically weak men engaged in
crossing either the Chilkoot or White
pass their lives will be as quickly extin-
euished as reed is broken under the
blast of tornado.
Already there are plenty of men re-
Gently come here with whom it is a toss
ND Of half-dollar whether they go ahead
or go back. Many, whose judgment tells
them to go home and wait till spring, will
risk and perhaps lose their lives rather
than sacrifice their false pride. Dyea is
already overcrowded with men and out
fits. and if any more gold-hunters come
this season really don't know what we'll
do with them.

tenn of mining different to what they have
been accustomed to. From that you can

north on the Mexico. The tone of his
letter indicates that he is much discour-
aged at the prospects OF getting through
to the gold fields this fall. He states that
the prospectors W ho went up on the Mex
ico were continually fighting and quarrel
ing among themselves aud quite num-
Der OF them got gloriously drunk every
time the boat made landing. He said
the captain had to finally threaten to put
some of the men in irons to preserve the
! eace. He says the pass from Dyea IS
most effectuallv blocked and there is but
little hope OF the majority OF the lar e
crowd of prospectors who are camped
there getting through until after the
wincer SETS in ard every thing is frozen up
tigh; Mr.. Sprague advises those con-
templating making the trip to wait until
spring before they start as they can live
cheaper at home than at Dyea and get
into the interior just as early.
DR.. H. B. Runnells, who went to
Skaguay on the steamer Queen, gives
some new facts in a letter just received.
He describes the unloading of freight
during the first days OF August, as fol-
lows:
cit was hard task and more than dis
agreeable, Tor it rained and stormed all the
time. We had nothing to eat and did not
sleep for TWEEN four hours. When the
freight was landed a committee was ap-
DO inted and il was all sorted, and no man
allowed 10 take his goods until he showed
his freight-list. Very little was lost, COM
paratively. We now found that the trail
was not finished and it was not known
when it would be. There were fifteen men
working or 1t. We called meeting and
appointed thirty men to go ahead and
help finish it, and word has just got in TO
cam p that it is finished.
fortunately for us l was acquainted
with one of the company and | got work
for Mr.. Pettigrove and Mr.. Peterson. so
we are saving our outfit and making some
money besides, and the probabilities arc
that we shall be able to leave here about
the end of October, or from then on till
February, on sleds. Any one who comes
up in the spring should bring plenty Of
horses, for he will have no trouble in sell
ing them after he has finished with them.
There is one man here who told me that
he had already made $4,000 clear of ex-
penses packing this year so tar. Dogs are
worth here 5000 each-that is, the rea!
Alaskan dog-and are impossible to get at
that price"

tion of the boy:

short.
The boy is a remarkably bright and IN
teresting child. The police were told oy
some one that the little lad had been seen
near Wilson street and Broadway about
an hour after his mother missed MIN.
From that zine on, however, the trail was
lost. Several nights ago two men called
at the second house above Conway S and
INQUIRED who lived at G nway's house.
When they learned that Conway lived at
the third house they appeared satisfied.
A son of Michael Dollard and boy
named Thomas Conley say that between
and 10 o'clock yesterday morning they
saw well-dressed man with shabbily
attired man having a lost boy by the
hand.

KLONDIkE GOLD.
Deposits Made Here Not Reflected
in the Treasury Statement

Deposits Made Here Not Reflected
in the Treasury Statement.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 17-Some
surprise is expressed in financial circles
over the fact of large receipts of gold from
the KlondiKe, which have been announced
from time to time at San Francisco. 1t
Is said to have not been reflected in the
Treasury Department statement. The
treasury holds SAL, SEQ 600 free gold. Ac-
cording TO treasury officials the Klondike
gold received at San Francisco was proba-
bly, all turned into the mint at that City,
but not reflected in t. g treasury statement
OF gold on hand for the reason that gold
coin was paid out for it and that the coin
has gone into the banks.
In San francisco banks as rule take
gold payment for their assay office checks,
because gold circulates among the people
on the slope, whereas here many of the
banks generally, exec pt in times of panic,
take greenbacks in payment OF assay office
checks, and so the treasury here gains lit
tie gold that way. A dispatch received in
Wall street to day fron Washington
quotes Mint Directar Preston as saying
the mints at San Francisco and Philadel-
phia are now coming gold received from
the klondike region. The gold is being
coined into eagles and half-eagles.
Preston say, he expects fully 70 per cent
of the gold taken from the Yukon gold
fields will find i Is way into the States in
spite of the restrictive regulations of the
Canadian Government. At the assay Of
fee in this city, it is said, as yet no Klon-
dixie gold has been received,

THE NORTH FORK DELAYED
Doubtful Whether the Ship VIII Get
Away for a Day or Two.

Doubtful Whether the Ship VIII Get
Away for a Day or Two.
The steamer North Fork did not sail
yesterday, ard it is doubtful if she will be
able to get away to-day, owing to the fact
that there are some questions TO settle as
to whether she is TOO heavily laden and as
to whether the Mare Island will be al.
lowed to accompany the steamer on the
journey.
Scores of the passengers are growing
very angry over the delay of the steamer,
which was advertised to go last Saturday.
United States Surveyor English and
Inspector BowIes have been asked to pass
on the ship and give their permission for
her to sail, but they have refused to give
any opinion until they see the entire
cargo aboard, at which time they say they
will pass on the question OF the seaworthi.
ness of the vessel.
The Mare Island has been thoroughly
renovated and it is said she is now safe in
every way. The owners have applied for
a charter as a freight boat to do business
on the bay, and that question will be
passed on IN a few days. Ii it be denied
she will be able to 60 on. the Yukon as
barge.
All over the City there is great deal of
interest in the news of returning miners
from the north and 1t appears to be the
general opinion that those who went over
the Chilcoot route made great mistake.
Those who have had experience in the
north say there ought to be no trouble in
making Dawson City now if the boats that
go make any kind of speed and if the
boats they take for the Yukon are
properly made for the trip.
One of the things that kept back the ex-
pedition was the fact that some one left
the sea valves Of the Mare Island open a
few days ago and when she started over
the bav so much water came into her that
she had to be taken back and the water
pumped out. 1t is now the general opin-
ion on The water 'front.' however, that the
Mare Island is fully seaworthy.
The steam schooner Navarro will sail for
the Yukon on the 25th inst. and is the
next one of the northern fleet 10 depart
from this port She will arrive from San
Diego to-day and it is though, she will
make the tr. p in short time. More than
seventy passengers are said 10 be booked
for the voyage in this way.

imagine what the new hand at the busi-
ness can accomplish, Before closing
again must say that the mortuary list be-
tween now and the time winter actually
sets in will be a sadly large one."
