Starvation and Death Staring Many in
the Face at Dawson.
Victoria, Oct. 27.-Miners who came
down on the Farallon from Dyea, and
who left Dawson City about 40 days
ago, say that the day before they left
Hansen, one of the managers of the
Alaska Commercial Company arrived
in canone and told Of the abandon
ment of the efforts to get food up the
river. Fully 400 miners at once made
preparations to start out over the trail,
but the citizens committee refused to
allow them sufficient provisions for
the journey, so, save those who had al
ready started, all will have to remain
and share in the privations at Dawson.
Charles Fries, of Tacoma, who came
out with Bert Woods and Archie
Burns, says that besides the famine, q
mysterious disease has broken out
which is carrying of five men daily.
Twenty four hours after the victim is
attacked he turns black from the waist
to the throat and in two days, in ma
jority of cases, is dead.
On the way over the Dalton trail,
which in many places runs along the
Yukon's bank, Fries party met many
boats bound down. He estimated that
about 800 boats are going down the
river with from four to seven men each.
The Fries party was the last to leave
Dawson. At Five Finger rapids they
fell in with the party headed by Kay
Stuart, of New York, which left five
days before, and caught mp with the
party made up Of John Fry, F. L. and
J. Trippe and G. Holden, Of New
York, with an Indian guide. The
party ran short of food and for four
days none had any food save an owl
which they shot and some soup made
from rawhide strap which they were
using in packing their goods.
The Farallon brought down about
$40, 900 in gold.

THAT ARBITRATION MEElISG.


No doubt the friends OF arbitration
at the Cooper Union meeting
In New York Thursday even.
lug weTc very mucd surprised
at the way ia which Judge w. II.
Lynn demonstrated that the majority
OF the big audience, which wouii
have endorsed the resolutions In favor
Of the arbitration treaty, really was
against the measure now awaiting the
action Of the United States Sennte.
And yet the advocaies Of International
arbitration ought not 10 be- ustonished'
Tee au,agonism to tue resolutions was
not protest against settling inter
national disputtB In the way proposed
by the treaty, but q declaration Of lack
OF confidence in at least one OF the
nations which are parties to the agree
ment.
There are two prominent features In
this arbitration treaty business. Ono
is the desirablliiy OF apply Ing the
principle to disputes that arise be-
tween nations; the other Is the meas
ure OF good fifth with which "A nation
enters into such treaty. Ono ie n
matter OF sentiment upon which an
agreement ia easily reached; the other

which they have KEEP, oompncls en-
tered into-ior nations, Ike men,

the friends OF arbitration proceeded
wholly upon tho fret named feature,
and when the other was Introduced II
upset their plans. The interest In and
Attendance at the meeting Indicated o

resolutions showed that the majority
had not sufficient confidence Ia
Britoin's Integrity 10 treaty matters

htory OF the opposition Ahown Ia the
Senate to the treaty.

little regard to treaties when they
stood in her way ana size had the
physical ability to override them.
Perhaps the record Of other nations
on this point is no better. But
In relation to Britain there is
no need to 20 outside OF that
Kingdom for accusations OF national
perfidy. These are furnished by her
leading mon and newspapers, ami at
home moro than elsewhere Britain is
held In disTeputo for her alleged Viola
ton of treaty obligations with nations
that were not strong enough to with.

strange that there Is in this country a
marked objection to adopting the pro-
posed compact with "A nation which is
given such bad reputation OF home

liable to assessment; road tax of 100
cents on each 500 worth of real and per-
sonal property liable to taxation as per
the assessment roll of the past year.
A motion was carried empowering Jos.
McG auvran to purchase twelve slnsh
scrapers for the tow nship.
The bonds of the treasurer, clerk and
