| Washington, Sept S-The treasury de-
partment makes public the following
letter from a government official now
in Alaska on the way to the gold fields,
stating at the same time that the writer,
| whose name is withheld has been II
| years in the service and is thoroughly
reliable: I deem it my duty to write
You on subject that does not come
directly within my line of duty. l have
had long talk with Mr.. Ivey, collector
Of customs for Alaska, who is at pres
ent at Skaguay, three miles below here.
The Skaguay trail is the most largely
used overland route though by no means
the best, to the Klondyke. Mr.. Ivey
informs me that there are now between
tideW ater and the lake something like
1000 persons and about 1000 horses. The
commander of one of the vessels now at
Skaguay states that 16 vessels are char
tered to land cargoes at that place be-
tween now and Sept. 10, and that the
number of passengers will average zoo
to each vessel, making 5000 more people
who will attempt to go in this fall. 1
have talked with some of the most exper-
fenced traders and miners in this vicinity,
and they are unanimous in the prediction
that not over 20 per cent of this vast
number will get through to Dawson be-
fore winter sets in. The other so per
cent Will be caught on the trail, and
those who survive and get back to tide
water will have to winter at Skaguay
or return south. If the rush continues
two weeks longer hundreds will inevi-
tably perish on the trail, which is ex-
tremely dangerous after the first of
October.
THE situation is appalling, and 1t
is impossible for me adequately to de-
scribe the mad rush for the gold fields.
| had no conception of it's immensely
till I saw. l have talked with several
men who have recently arrived here
from the Klondyke, two of whom left
there less than 80 days ago. They
unanimously agree that while there is
rich gold field there the facts do not
justify the present stampede, and they
say there is bound to be much suffering
ard actual starvation. Provisions are
already scarce and the prices of many
articles absolutely prohibitory in the
case of man of ordinary means"

Tragedy at Concord.

Concord, Mass, Sept 6.-There are
few towns in Massachusetts that enjoy
the reputation possessed by Concord for
Quietude. There is nothing humdrum
in the existence of the people, and yet
serious crime is foreign to the commun-
ity. 1t remained for a nonresident to
disturb theplacidity of the street by a
foul murder. John N. Harris of Walt
ham was the perpetrator of the deed,
and his victim was Mrs. George S. But
ters. Besides killing the woman, Harris
undertook to murder her son and to eX-
plate his bloodthirsty acts by becoming
his own eXecutioner. He was not directly
successful in either Saturday afternoon
was the time and a pretty residence near
the towns center was the scene of the
tragedy which was the elimination of a
threat to get even for larceny charge
with which unfortunate Mrs. Buffers
had no connection.

OF course, if we we're making

we might. So. But we're not.
We're making the same old sar-
