CONSUL. GENERAL LEE
Has q Long Conference With the Presidents
and Sea retory of War Urged MAJ to Gt~~r
Up His Post at Havana

Washington. September IS-Gcr,r~8
Fitxhugh Lee. consul general To Cuba. irsSS
a long consultation with the president &c
day. IL was the first time General Let
had seen Mr.. Mckinley since the far
mer's return TO this country. about
fortnight ago He saw the president hs
special appointment. and all visitors were
excluded during the progrosss OF the con-
ference, except Secretary Aiger. Nnr.
came over from the war department. and
remained until after General Lees Depart
ure.
The conference was n long one. lasting
about two hours. General Lee carefully
reviewed the situation In Cuba and en-
planned at length all points upon which
either the president or Secretary Asgsr
asked for information. General Lee gave
his own views very freely TO the prcSi-
dent, but after the interview was vnry
reticent about the nature OF the rcT-,rt
he had made. He said the president had
not given him an outline of his pois-y-
II Is evident, however. that the presndsrx
is deeply impressed with the critis-a1
character of the situation in Cuba as f&
described by General Lee, as IL is und@r-
stood that at the conference he strongly
urged Consul General Lee TO retain hts
Office, at least for the present and to re-
turn to Havana at his earliest conSsr--
ience. AS IL has been strongly intimated
for several months that ex-CongressmAn
Aldrich would succeed General Lee ut Ha-
vana and that the latter would probably
not return. The presidents action today
IL construed to mean that he thinks IL
inadvisable to make change at this
juncture.
General Lee left here this afternoon for
Covington, Va. but before his departure
admitted that he would return to CutxA
as soon he had arranged his private
affairs, probably about the middle OF DC
| tober. In private conversation with close
| and personal friends General Lee has ex-
pressed himself vigorously as to the situ-
| tion in Cuba and has been very emphatic
| I'm his condemnation OF some Of General
| Weylers methods.

STFFERINGS In THE KIsONDYkE-
A Letter From q Government Onicial Civ.
ing Graphic Description of the Scenes
Along the TrAil.to the Gold Fields

ing a Graphic Description of the Scenes
Along the TrAil!to the Gold Fields
Washington, September 1s.-Mr. Oren
w. Weaver, acting commissioner Of
labor, today gave to the Associated
Press a copy of a most graphic letter
on the terrors of the trip across Alas
ka to the Klondyke gold fields. The let
ter had just been received from Samuel
G. Dunham, statistical expert of the
governments department of labor, who
had been assigned by Commissioner
Wright to make an investigation of
the opportunities which the gold re-
gions in the Yukon valley and adjoin-
ing territory afford for the remunera-
tive employment of American labor and
capital. The letter is dated Lake
Lindeman, Alaska, August 26, 1897.
Mr.. Dunham says that it has storm
ed, rained, showed and sleeted almost
continuously since he left the coast.
The glacial streams cut the steep
trail in innumerable places, washing
down lakes of mud to form almost i'm
passable barriers in every basin and
hollow. The trail itself over the noun.
tains is in many places at 40 degree
incline, and rendered doubly hazardous
by glaciers, crevasses and boulders
strewn lodges, overhanging chasms
and precipices. Frequent stops had to
be made for rest, and even few min
uteS of inactiOn in the piercing cold
goads the traveller on again to keep
from freezing to death. After Strug
Cling with a forty pound pack, Mr..
Durham was forced to pay an Indian
$40 TO pack it twelve miles from Dyea
Z TO Sheep Camp. Sixteen dollars more
was paid to carry the same pack from
Sheep Camp to Lake Lindeman.
He continues: "At present the cOndi-
ton of affairs on both trails is terri
BILE, and hundreds of men are bound to
starve and freeze to death if they con-
tinue to come this way. 1 passed at
lease 900 men between Dyea and here,
and not more than 100 have got their
outfits this side of the summit. Every
fifty yards along the trail are piles of
goods and I suppose there are prOvis-
ions to the value Of 5000, 900 scattered
along the trail. Prices for packing and
for all kinds of service are practically
prOhibitOry, for most of those who are
attempting to cross. l never saw so
much selfshness anywhere as is dis
played on this trail. You pass 100 peo-
pie without receiving a response to
your respectful good morning. and
soon learn to keep your mouth shut.
If you ask for food, in nine cases out
Of ten you will be refused. / have made
arrangements to go down the river
with a friend, who had made the trip
before. He expects to be ready to
J start in four or five days and to make
the trip in seven days. I am patiently
| awaiting the arrival Of my outfit, but
do not much expect it until the weather
-"F.vorv steamship that has brought
! people up will have all it can do for at
least two trips in carrying the unsuc-
| cessful people back to civilization; and
| there ought to be some way to force
| them to perform the service without
| compensation"

Hazleton, Pa, September 1s-With the

the day passed off quietly in the strike

Thirteenth regiment, who stopped the dis
turbance, but they were no sooner out

to this effect reached the camp and a
company was sent over. They captured
the ringleader and took him back to camp

ers assembled on Donegal hill tonight in
