HORRORS OF THE KLONDIKE,
Two Thousand Men Have Died
There in Four Years.

One Of the Richest sections Inhabited
by tN-Convicts---Stcamcrs Loaded
with Fortune Hunt,rs---the "Mother
Lode" May Not BE Found.
Frank Moss, an old-time miner who.
four years ago was one Of a party of
Americans first to visit the Klondike
country, returned to Great Falls, Mont.
last week. He tells a story OF horror, and
Starvation seldom equalled: even in mod
ern novels. He describes klOndike as a
placer camp, seven miles long and Is miles
wide, located in sink, walled in by bowl
ders Of rock 5000 feet high Gold, he
says, aOounds but no ordinary mau can
stand the hardships OF the unciviized re-
gion. When Moss left this place four
years ago he was sturdy fellow over six
feet tall From hardships and privations
he is cripple Tor lite and badly broken il
health. In three years he saw over 20OO
graves made in the Klondike basin. a large
majority of their occupants diving from
starvation.
The steamship companies bring in all
food and allow no private importation, con
sequently it is not uncommon to 90 for
weeks with but a scant supply and for DAYS
entirely without food The gold brought
in last week to Seattle Moss says. does
not represent the findings of individual
shippers, but large proportion was con
flscated from the effects OF these 2OO0 min
ers who fell prey to the hardsAips. AT
the death of "a man possessed Of dust, ms
body was buried without a coffin and the
dus. divided among those who cared lOl
him, With proper reIiefs established BY
the government, Moss says, gold can be
taken out at the rate Of $1,000, 900 q
month.
The richest strike has been made by q
2l-year-old boy, George Hornblower Of
indianapolis In the heart of barren
waste, known as Bowder field, he founC
a nugget for which the transporta. io1
company gave hun $500. He located hi,
claim at the find, and in four months la,
taken out over Sl,O0O,000.
The richest section. Moss says, is ye
undeyeloped. 1t is 100 miles from KlOn
dixie, and known as the Black Hole of Cal
cutta. 1t is inhabited by eX-convicts o
Bohemia and murders and riots take III,
place of law and order
a few months ago Klondike organized
justice committee, and its laws prevail
there now.
With the great crowds preparing to g
to the scene now, Moss says, hunger an,
suffering will be great when added TO tn
other hardships to be overcome by thOs
who survive. Moss returns with $4,000 il

Bryan in Washington.

A Washington dispatch of the 9th
says: Bryan, the late Democratic
candidate for President. called at the
White House today with Representa-
tive Mcmillan of Tennessee and
A Attorney General Smythe of Ne
braska, to pay his respects to his late
opponent. He was greeted warmly
by Mckinley. The latter said he
had received u copy of Bryan's book
few days ago, but had not yet han
time to read it. After the exchange
OF courtesies and pleasantries Bryan
retired. He expressed a desire to be
shown through the White House, and
door-heeper Dubois conducted him
through the various parlors and the
conservatory. In the main corridor,
just as he was emerging, he met Mrs.
Mckinley, who was going out for a
drive, and saluted her cordially.
Bryan was besieged with newspaper
men who asked for his views on the
Ohio and Michigan elections yester-
day.
"They indicate that confidence has
been restored" he said laughing.
"and need no explanation from me;
they speak for themselves"

Fred Grant.

VI all the men who have wanted
office and have let their wants become
public property. none have called for
greater criticism than Col. Fred
Grant. He was Intentionally re-
quest, no doubt-immediately after
Mckinley's election, and expressed a
desire to accept any Of the foreign
embassies. Since then he has re.
peatedly signi6ed his willingness to
serve the present administration, but
when President Mckinley offered the
important young man the assistant
secretaryship of war, he declined
with many thanks" We have for
some time noted the course Of this
member of the Grant ia nily and have
concluded that he reflects no credit
upon the noble father whose last
effort on earth. was to wrestle with
death that his family might not be
left in pinched circumstances. Young
Grant has been, for number of
years, in frame of mind such as to
give to his actions a vainglorious
aspect, and he seems to have feared
that his own importance might
possibly suffer an eclipse by virtue Of
his fathers name. Ogden Standard

TALKS TO STAFFORD GRADUATES.
Dr. Mclean of Oakland Delivers the Brccu-
laureate Sermon at faio

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, M ay
% DR. Mclean of Oakland delivered the
baccalaureate sermon in the chapel this
morning. The graduates attended chapel
in a body. In spite OF the fact that large
number of the undergraduates had
already departed for their summer yaca-
ton, the chapel was filled to Overlooking.
DR.. Mclean found his text IN lsala
x:16-I7. In substance he said:
NV Grand here to-day is not to deliver a
traditional Daccalaureate sermon, but to give
you a simple and imam bilious message. 1t
has been derived from experience L nave
during the past thirty-nine years been brought
into cont tact with young people. wish most
heartily that time had slipped cog thirty
nine years ago and LETT me 10 graduate with
you next Wednesday.
Ny message could be called "The Noble
Army ofIntercessors." Intercessors here is to be
taken in its strongest sense-those who inter
pose. Who and what manner OF q man is an
intercessor? What are his opportunities and
what calls him here?
To the first question from the text we read
HE saw there no man. God wondered that
in the presence of such conditions there was
no real man. Of course there was the rabble.
which looked existing evil, but no one
attempted to eradicate it. There was none
who dared to interpose or break forth in
righteous indignation at prevailing condi-
tons. Such man is his ideal OF q completed
human being the chapter pictures the strife
between good and evil. This strife will con-
tinue until good prevails.
AS TO the intercessor's place in history we
find that ne is the maker of all history. The
great army of intercessors includes all those
pa triots who have not counted their lives
dearer than their principles. There is abun-
dant opportunity for such patriots to-day. The
wrongs Cuba and Crete are allowed to suffer
show that nations can look on cruelties as OF
old with sordid indifference.
DR.. Mclean then. advised the graduates
to make the most of their abundant op-
portunities. They must dare to do ii they
wished to be enrolled in the grand army
OF in tercessors"

Treasure Hidden by Rovers
Before the War of the
Rebellion.
Tale OF an Old Settler Who Was
Held a Prisoner on Their
Craft.

YAQUINA, WASH, May 23.-There is
an old tradition. grounded upon fact. that
many years ago, before the rebellion,
pirates buried several boxes OF gold
coubloons in the mud along the beach
here. They never returned and the pre-
sumption is that they were lost at sea.
John Hartman, now 70 years old, was
about the only dweller along the beach at
that time. and he says that he has good
reason to remember the arrival of the
pirates. There were dozen in all, most
of them Americans. Three of them took
him aboard their craft and there detained
him for two days. By chance he learned
that they were unloading some gold and
secreting it.
After their departure Hardman sought
for the gold, off and on, for years, but
failed to find it. In the fall of 1873 a
stranger came from California.
Before he left he changed several doub-
looms. One night. while drunk, he said
there was half million of that kind of
gold not far from the beach and ne would
return some day to dig it up. This man,
evidently, was one of the pirates He
died in California not long ago.
William Rich of Toledo got hold of a
description of the hiding place and has
been making a search tor the treasure.
He believes that he is now about TO dis
cover the gold, having found several of
the marks, bearings and trees mentioned
in the description.

along the Mokelumne River had broken
and that the farms in the vicinity OF
Lockeford would be damaged to the ex-
tent Of at least $4,000. The country about
is now under water, and the damage may
exceed the sum named.
The cause of the breaks is not known.
The first one occurred on William Eas-
tons place. This was followed by an
other on the Whitney ranch, and shortly
after this the levees on the Kerr place
broke, letting the waters in upon the
country about Lockeford. That section Is
very fertile and has hundreds OF acres
planted in grain and potatoes. Besides
the ranches of DR.. Locke and Luther
Locke, those on the Montgomery Tract
and the Holman place are now under
water, and the food is fast spreading.
There must have been heavy showers In
the mountains to swell the waters to the
extent they did. Just now the entire
country about Lockeford is under water.
