wm No, In.nrs K,onallsr..

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Inquiry develops that many of the principal life and ao- cident insurance companies have is- sued positive instructions to their gen. eral agents in the United States and Canada against assuming any risks ups on the lives of persons contemplating a visit to the Klondike. Many of the general agents representing eastern life and accident insurance companies In Chicago have received letters from the home office of prohibltory nature against these risks.
 MT. Harris. the manager of the New York Life Insurance company in Chi- cago. has received no instructions that prohibit him from issuing permit to policy holders In that company to yis- 1t the Klondlke, but he says they have positive instructions to accept no appli- ance or new policies.
 The action of the life insurance conn panies is not nearly as surprising as that of the accident The companies carrying accident risks are even more particular than many of those assum- Ing life risks. They go on the theory that the trip overland to Alaska in fraught with more dangers to life and limb from accident than Is possible from disease. The only thing that causes the accident companies to hesi- tate in canceling the policies Is the ex- treme prudence that the policy holder has shown In the past. They do not care to assume a risk upon a daring young prospector who will not take even the precautions of carrying sum- cient clothing and food with him to the Klondike regions. They estimate that the greater portion of those going to that country are persons unaceustomed to cold and are insufficiently provided with food and clothing.

nrsdxsr to Take ou, Gold.

Seattle. Wash. Aug. IA dredger is the latest scheme devised for taking gold out of the Yukon region. The pro- motors of the scheme do not Intend to begin operations until next spring, by which time they will have properly constructed dredRe at the mouth of the Yukon river waiting for the Ice to break up.
 Then the dredger will be taken up the river to the gold region. where the work of dredging the beds of the Yukon and It's tributaries will begin.
 Experts for the Pennsylvania Smelt- Ing and Refining company of Philadel- phla are on their way to the Klondike district to examine the placcrs and also to prospect for quartz deposits.
 The North American company's steamer Cleveland is now being loaded in this city and sails for St. Michaels Aug. 8. Her passengers will be imme- dlately transferred to the Yukon steam CTS and taken to Dawson City. This win be the last trip up the river this year by this company's boat.
 The company being formed by Mayor Wood of Seattle has announced that it will run steamer to Dawson City, leaving Seattle Aug. la. This will ef- fectually settle the river route until next spring.
 There are several Chicago passengers on the overland trains which will reach Seattle about the time the Cleveland is scheduled to sail. The steamer will he held for them.

QUAD'S QUEER TALES.
Too Horsy For Bill.

He was a travelling fakir, with 0 liver cure at 50 cents bottle, and, to make things more interesting, he had bicycle with him and gave exhibitions of riding on the public square. When he struck a certain Arkansas village he found the bike ! novelty in the eyes of the population, md 1t was after he had shown off' that tall, long haired native approached and said:
 Stranger, I've got son, and his name IT. Bill"
 "Well?'
 That's Bill over thar with the ole white hat on"
 II see him. ..
 "Bill's straddled hosscs and mewls since he was ? ars old, and he never found a ;ritter which could gin him the flop. That's made him mighty peart, and he's i-braggin tbat he kin stick to this ma- ,heen O yours. D'you reckon he kin?'
 "No"
 Would he git the fop?''
 "Jest git bounced right off and flung in heap, eh?',
 "He would. He'd think one side of the tate of Arkansas had tipped up with him. !"
 "That's what I'm achin fur-to see my peart son Bin git the grand flop. I'll gin you $1 to let him try it.
 The fakir was agreed, and the old man ,allsd his son over and queried:
 "Bi1, d'you reckon you kin handle this ,rere critter?"
 "You kin bank on it, dad, :" was the re- ply.
 Ut ain't like mcwl or hoss''

 'Hain't you a leetle too peart, Bill-jess ! leetle?"
 Mot fur me, dad-not fur Bill Jackson. less stand right back and look out fur fly In mud when I start. Thar's my hat to hold, and yere go!''
 Bill had seen tho fakir mount, and, with whoop and leap, he was in the saddle. He got his feet on the pedals and moved off about ten feet. Then something reared up on its hind feet and came down with II wabbles and a dozen "bucks, ' and when the dirt ceased to fly they found Bill in

THE SEAL QUESTION.
England Promlses to Join In the Inter
 national Conference.

national Conference.
 London. July 31-The British foreign office has notified Ambassador Hay that G.tat Britain accepts the proposition Of the United States for an internation- al conference on the question of pelagic sealing in the Boring sea, to be held in Washington during the coming autumn.
 Mir. John w. Foster the United States special commissioner on the sealing question, sailed today for New York by the St. Louis from Southampton. In the course of an interview Mir. Foster said:
 Wherever I have been--at St. Peters burg, Berlin. Paris or here in London -I have been received in the most cor dial manner. Whatever may be the feeling in the United States anent the often reported antagonism to our gov ernment displayed by foreign powers, l have seen nothing of 1t. Everywhere l have had evidence that the foreign gov ernments wish to meet any question raised by the United States in a spirit of the utmost frankness and open mind- edness. Perhaps 1t is needless for me to state that this is most gratifying to ne, officially and in my private ca- pacity.
 "The British government has agreed to accept our proposition for sealing conference. I am now returning to make an immediate report to President Mckinley. I have had long and entire ly candid conferences with Mir. Cham berlain. and last Sunday I passed the day with Sir Richard Webster, the at- torney general, who is the adviser of the British government on the points of law involved. My statement met with the frankest and most impartial consideration"

A Neglected Opportunity.

I was sitting with my chair tilted back against the wall of the shanty hotel hay ing an hour to pass away before tic stage was due, when a man whose appearance denoted the prospector came along and halted to say:
 Stranger, mebbe you've dear old mother somewhar?"
 "Yes, I have" replied.
 "Mebbe she's about ready to go and wants to sec you before she passes away?"
 "No; she's in good health"
 "Waal, my dear old mother can't last over a month, and I want to see her be- fore she dies. It'll take money to go to Indiana and back. want to raise $50. Do you want Q silver mine?"
 ''No, thanksl'
 "I've got one with about $50, 900 worth of ore in sight. I calkerlate that mine will pan out at least $1 1000, 900 of the stuff Gimme $50 in cash, and the claim Is yourn."
 "I don't care to invest.''
 Stranger, continued the man as he grew more earnest, "this is case whar a ,lyin mother wants to sec her boy gin fur the last time.
 "Yes, know.'
 "And fur the sake of seein his dyin mother the boy will take $40 for that sill yer mine. If could hold on to it fur four weeks, could git $25, 1000 fur it, but I'm anxious to go east. Shall we make 1t an oven $40?'
 II don't care to buy at any price, " I re- piled, having been approached that day by at least a score of speculators, every one of whom was on the beat. "Wouldn't you say $25p" "No." "Shes dear old mother and she wants to see me again.
 "I'm sorry, but don't want to buy"
 "She'n pan out at least $1 1000, ,OO0," he persisted. 1T hope so for your sake. '' He talked awhile longer, and then left me to tackle 0 man from Boston. He told exactly the same story, but finally agreed | to take $15 for the mine AS soon as he | got the money he went off to a saloon and took hand in a game of poker, and the Boston man got the laugh all around. He | felt that he had been gulled and had little to say, but he hung to the certificate of the claim and went his way. A year later, when they were taking 1000 worth ot silver day out of the Boston Belle and he stock was selling at for 1, I met | ;he man who sold. it for $15 and asked ot | 1im:
 ''Is that the mine you wanted to sell me Dor $25?"
 That's the one, ;" he replied. | You wanted money to get home and zee your dear old mother die believe?"
 That was it, sir.''

Of this amount s7bo.0oo was gold from the Klondike. This geld has been accommodating In the city for the past four weeks and consists of deposits made by returned miners and by com pany controlling the commercial inter ests of Alaska.
