made a memora BILE trip to Cooks Inlet
early last fall, will set sail for Skaguay.
She will carry about $50 passengers, 100
horses and $50 tons OF freight. The big
steamer Mexico is expected in from Dyea
at almost any hour. She is now several
days overdue and is booked to leave again
to. morrow. She will no doubt be in and
out again before the end of the week, tax
ing $50 passengers, a mum Der of horses and
several hundred tons OF freight.
On Friday the steamer Humbo is ex-
pected in from San Francisco and will
take on a couple of hundred passengers
and freight for St. Michaels. A mum Der
of passengers that are outfitted at Seattle
will also leave tomorrow on the steamship p
Bristol. which sails from Victoria for
Dyea with 11C0 passengers. On Saturday
the steamer Farallon and ship Klondike
will leave Seattle for Dyea and Skaguay
with passengers and freight.
The passengers who will depart on these
various vessels come largely from coast
towns but nearly every State in the
Union is represented. The inform alton
received that Seattle's Mayor, w. D..
Wood would leave San Francisco to-day
on the steamer Hum boldt has caused con-
siderable furry in this city. Speculation
is rife as to the intention of the Mayor
with reference to resigning flee, to W which
he was elected to serve until March next.
The Humbold is expected to reach here
Friday, and after taking passengers and
freight aboard will con inue the following
day to st. Michaels. Mayor Wood is the
head OF the Seattle and Yukon CONNER
cial Company and will proceed to Dawson
City. He will only be in Seattle for day,
and even his closest friends do not know
whether he hopes to retain his honorary
title. This can be done with the consent
of the City Council in granting him
periodical leaves of absence.
In that event, the president of the
Council. J. E. Crichton, now acting
Mayor. would continue in that capacity
He is in favor with that element which
desires 'wide open" policy.
Business men generally believe that
during the present Klondike excitement
and cons, auent influx OF strangers, a
more liberal policy should prevail. This
view is also indorsed by Chief of Police
Reed, and it will no doubt prevail.
The most startling surprises continue
as to the personnel OF the men who are
allured from this city by visions of golden
nuggets i'll the now far-famed Klondike
territory. The announcement was m ade
to-day that r. G. Washburn, managing
editor of the ost-Intelligencer, had re-

ceeded by John w. Pratt, who will assume
the duties until September l. On that
day the paper will change ownership.
The deal has practically been consum-
mated and payments made.
The new owners are presumably East
erners represented by the Piper Brothers
OF Portland. The consid Grafton is 500. 900
for a ma j,riiy OF the stock. Mr. WASH
burn has been connected with tire paper
for several years. In 1893 he served as
member of the House OF Representatives

two sessions rs State Secretary. He was

McGraw regime that so long successfully
manipulated Republican politics of this
State.
A printing outfit was shipped last night

launched.
Among the recent i'm portant incorpora-
tions in Seattle is the Alaska Northwest
Development Com pany. 1t Is the purpose
in the spring to send prospectors to the
Yukon to prospect placers and quartz
claims. The company starts to work at
once building big dredger after a new
system. This dredger will be built in
Seattle and taken up in sections in the
spring.
1t will cost between SOS, 900 and $40, 600.
The prospectors will be ouifitted for three
years and only experienced men will be
sent.
Considerab BILE interest was manifested
all day in the expected departure OF the
steamer Eliza Anderson, which left to-
night at 9 O. clock for St. Michaels. This
vessel was originally put In service in
January, 1859, and owing to her extreme
old age serious apprehension has been
felt as to her ability to buffet the sea
waves.
In 1890 she was rebuilt and recently her
hull was put in good condition, the ma
chinery given a thorough overhauling
and a mum ber of Improvements made.
The Anderson's arrangements are some
what novel. She had about eighty-tive
passengers, but carried no freight other
than the personal luggage of the passen-
gers. She was consor,ed by the tug Rich
ard Hoyoke, which will tow the steam
ers Polly and w. K. Merwin and schooner
W. ]. Bryan. The latter carries 208 pas
sengers, while the Polly Will carry the
bulk OF the freight.
The Merwin was boxed up and goes
empty, It being the intention to use her
as river boat on the Yukon.
The Anderson Will remain in the north
all winter. Her passengers and freight
will be transferred at St. Michaels TO the
Merwin and barge. The latter is car
ried on the Polly and is ready to put
together. The current reports of tha un-
safe condition of the Anderson did lot in

MAY CLASH
WITH THE
CANADIANS
Miners on the Way to Daw-
son in No Mood to Pay
Heavy Duties.
PROSPECTS OF TROUBLE ON
THE TRAILS.
Gold-Seekers En- Route to the Klondike
Threaten to Offer Resistance If
They Are Held Up by
Customs Officers.

JUNEAU, ALASKA, Aug. 3 (by steam
ship Islander via Victoria, B. c., Aug.
10L-There is much of several kinds of
trouble ahead on the trail to Dawson
City. 1t looks as though the Canadian
customs officials will have an opportunity
10 report back to their Government that
they are unable to collect customs duties
without re-enforcemepts. All the incom-
ing gold-hunters are incensed at the ac-
ton of the Canadian authorities at
Ottawa in levying a duty on supplies they
are taking into the mines.
The rougher element among them is in
temperate In its language and has made
threats to ignore the customs officers,
peaceabIy if possible, but forcibly if neces-
sary. The several inspectors who came
up on the steamship Islander yesterday
have stationed themselves at Lake Ben
net, where boats are built and launched
for the 600. mile float down the Lewis and
Yukon rivers. The trails from the Dyea
and White passes converge at this lake
and it will be possible to intercept at the
lake or below it at the Cariboo crossing
all the merch andise going into Dawson
overland.
The lake and portages are in British ter
ritory. Men who came up in the steerage
of the steamer City of Topeka yesterday
made threats that they would not submit
to the exacting of high duty, and if an
attempt were made to impose such duty,
the inspectors might collect 1t if they
could. A man named Olson from Tacoma
expressed himself to this effect and
claimed to be speaking for others. The
best information to be had here is that the
Canadian duty ranges from 20 TO 80 per
cent on the stuff that will be taken into
the Klondike region, though it is under
stood that a reasonable miners outfit will
be admitted free.
The gold think thev should not
be required to pay more than 10 per cent.
II from 10 to 30 per cent is demanded, a
serious defiance OF the Canadian Govern
ment is expected to happen at Lake Ben
net.
1t is not probable there would be
bIoodshed. The customs officers would
be powerless in the face of such superior
numbers. The miners say that the fee of
SIS per claim and the royalty OF 10 per
cent on the output of small and 90 pr
cent On the output of large claims is
enough for the Government to demand.
Since the announcement has reached
here that the Government intenQs to re-
serve to itself each alternate mining claim
the feeling of every man who has out
fitted himself has risen against the au-
thorities. HAL HOFFMAN

A BLACK FINANCIER.

There is a colored man doing business ON
the Bowery who has ideas which would do
credit to a Napoleon of finance. This man
sells hot corn. Saturday evening he opened
his sidewalk store at the corner of Bowery
and Canal street. Just around the corner
was white vender of the same dainty who
cried his wares in stentorian tones. The
negroe did not utter a word, but was on the
alert to serve any customer who might hap
pen along.
After a time the trade settled steadily in
the direction of the white man who contin-
ued to announce to the passing crowd that
his corn was the best in town. His rival
saw that he was being distanced, but still re-
Trained from vocally advertising what he
had to sell-whether through laziness or not
was not apparent. At last he could stand it
no longer, but, still refusing to positively an
nounce that he had corn for sale, solved the
difficulty in a characteristic darby way.
Hot corn, hot corn, hot corn" yelled the
white man.
Here too, here too, here too" echoed the
willy son of the South. The trick caught the
fancy of the crowd, and in ten minutes he
had sold out He walked up the street with
a grin his face leaving his white rival
with considerable of his stock to dispose Of
New York Mail and Express.
