WILL SEIZE SUPPLIES.
Dominion Police will Take Action
on Behalf of Destitute
klondikers.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 29-The
Ledger's correspondent at Skaguay met
the members of the Dalton party who
just came out from Dawson City, head
ed by Jack Dalton, Joe Boyle of Wood
stock, Ont, and w. G.. Gales, known
as "Swift Water Bill" When inter
viewed concerning present conditions at
Dawson City and other interior points
Mr.. Dalton stated that gold is plentiful
but food very scarce. He does not, how
ever, believe that actual starvation will
III many instances occur, but has no
doubt that much privation will exist.
There is some feeling against the two
large companies opera ting there, on ac-
count of their inability to cope with the
situation successfully. 1t is reported by
MIR. Boyle that when the Marguerite
came up the Yukon in September she
was unable to proceed with her full cargo
beyond Fort Yukon and left there most
OF the flour aboard, bringing into DaW-
son a large amount Of whisky, presuma-
bly, for the purpose Of netting larger
profits than on the -four
A still further shortage has been caused
at Dawson, owing to the fact that when
the Bella came up from St Mchael's
during the first week in October, she was
stopped at Circle City by nearly POO
armed men and forced to leave the larger
part of the cargo there.
Capt. Hansen of the Alaska CONNER
cial company, who went to Dawson,
called meeting and advised all men with
sufficient supplies to start for Fort Yu-
kon, 325 miles below Dawson City and
about 80 miles below Circle City. The
mounted police were authorized to force
the departure of the men without winter
outfits and the company's boats carried
down 80 men.
During the next few days nearly 200
men arrived over the Dyea and Skaguay
trails and it is claimed that the larger
part of these had only supplies for from
one to three months
San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 29.-The Call
has received via steamer City of Seattle
letter from its correspondent, Sam Wall
who succeeded in reaching Dawson City
on September %, after IL perilous trip
IN a small boat from Fort Yukon He
was the first to give the news to the
people of Dawson of the failure of the re-
lief ships to get up the river. The gold
seekers, he says, are confronted with
famine and there will be intense suffer-
ing during the winter months. What
food there is will be made to go as far
as possible. The Dominion police have
announced their intention of Selling all
Supertluous stores. and especially those
belonging to gamblers and the disreputa-
bic element and dividing them pro rata
among the furnishing citizens. Everything
possible will be done to alleviate the dis
tress of the people. but at best the out
look is extremely gloomy and starvation
threatens many

NEW AUSTRIAN PREMIER.
Baron Won Frankenthurn Succeeds
Badeni at the Head Of the
Cabinet.

Vienna, Nov. 29.-It is stated here that
as soon as the new cabinet is formed,
Baron Won Frankenthurn, the former
minister of public instruction and &C.
clesiasticaI affairs, who has been en-
trusted with the task of forming q min
istry to succeed that of Count Casimir
Badeni, which resigned yesterday, will
enter into negotiations with the leaders
Of the German and Czechs with the view
of bringing about a modification of the
ordinances making the Czech language
coordinate with the German. 1t is
these ordinances that caused the riotous
scenes in tire lower house Of the Reichs-
rath, which in turn produced among the
pOpulace a ferment bordering on revolu-
ton, in consequence Of which the Badeni
ministry resigned.

SEARCHING THE BARN.
Anonymous Hints of Other Crimes at the
Merry Place.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 29.-Acting on an
anonymous communication from a neigh
Dor of Chris Merry, the peddler who is
accused of having murdered his wife,
whose body was yesterday found in
ditch near Western avenue and Eighty
seventh street, the police today began a
thorough examination of Merry's barn
where they expected to find evidence of
other crimes The writer of the letter
on which the police are acting says that
a week ago Wednesday he heard shots
fired in Merry's house. 1t was his be-
lief that the shot took some ones life
and that it might be the crime which
Mrs. Merry theatened to inform the po-
lice about and to prevent which Merry
is supposed to have murdered her. The
communication is poorly spelled and writ

credence to it to give the barn an over

MARIE ANTOINETTE AS A SAINT,

English White Rose League Proposes to
Canonize the GuiIIotined Queen.
The English White Rose league having
made saint and martyr of Charles l.,
some ultraroyalist ladies of France pro-
pose to canonize Marie Antionette. The
saints day to be set aside for special
honor of the guillotined consort Of Louis
XVI. is October Is. In 1893 on the same
day OF the month the Queen went to the
scaffold, and now these enthusiastic
danes are eager to follow the example of
the British Jacobites and dub her saint.
A meeting was recently held of the
Paris house of Nine. la Marquise
d'Albon. A great number Of Frances
blue-blooded admirers of the Bourbons at
tended, the president being the Duchesse
de Montesquien-F ezensac. Among those
who sent promises of aid and as
surances of keen sympathy was the IA
nous Duchesse Dues, who almost bank
rupted herself to win over Gen. BOulan-
ger to the rOyalist cause.
The life and deeds of Marie Antoinette
were recited from her birth as an arch
duchess of Austria to her death beneath
the cruel knife blade. She was exon
Grated from all blame in the matter of
the diamond necklace, accepted history
beng all in her favor in that connec~
ton. Her life was found charita be-,
pure and even holy. Her death was feel
lngly described by the orator of the oc-
casion, Mile. de la Tour-du-Pin. Final
ly 1T was argued that "since the royal
lists of England had canonized Charles l.,
it behooves the loyal DANES of France 10,
be not backward in pronouncing Marie
Antolnette saint and martyr" A reso-
luton to this effect was put to the meet
ing and passed amid acclamations, while
the Society de Sainte Marie Antoinette,
Refine ct Martyre," was forthwith for
mally lnaugurated.
1t is proposed to lay the evidence al
ready collected and still to be gathered
in relation to Marie Antonette's claims
to sanctity before the pope with an earn
est prayer that he may be led to grant
| her qualification as he has done to Joan
OF Arc. Meanwhile grand statue OF the
Queen is to be erected, in Paris if pos
sible; if not, on the best available site.
Booklets are to be turned loose in show
ers over the provinces, containing care
fully prepared biographies of the new
saint" The recent 10th day Of Oc--
tober was marked by exercises of a gor-
geous character, and, although the,
Catholic church has never recognized the
long deceased Queens sanctity, masses.
were offered up in her behalf at thou
sand French churches on that date.
