Letters Show That Some of the
Gold-Hunters Cannot
Get Through.
DUTIES AND FREIGHT CHARG~
TAKE ALL THEIR MONEY.
Weary and Footsore Men on the
Crowded Trails Are Giving Up
In Despair.

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 12-There has
been a reaction in the rush to the Klon-
dixie gold fields and very shortly the
steamers which arrive here from Juneau,
Dyea and Skaguay will br ng a large part
of the humanity that already admit they
made mistake in leaving for the north
before the spring.
Letters are pouring into this city to the
effect that out of the thousands of men
who are Just now scattered along the route
above Dyea hundreds are sick of the whole
business. They know that winner is fast
approaching, and that they have no
money with which to pay the Canadian
dutv and the big fees charged by Indian
packers. and as a result they long for
home and civilization.
DR.. G. NJ. Faulkner, one of the best
known men in the Northwest, went north
on the Islander. and in letter from him,
received here to-day, he says that the
miners who made the trip on the Islander
are disgusted. With few exceptions they
are without money with which 10 pay the
Canadian duty. They went not expecting
TO pay one cent of duty, and with the full
determination of packing their outfits and
supplies over the summit The Canadian
custom officers are meeting them and
compelling them 10 surrender their last
cent.
THE officers" writes Faulkner, ''are
kind and courteous, but the men are dis
gusted and are doing everything in their
power to give The officers the slip, but l
don't think they will succeed. l know of
plenty of men who are going to return as
fast as they can get passage. Some OF
them are without sufficient money to pay
their fares back to the sound. l don't
know what will become OF these poor
devils. But to show you that many are
sick and propo se 10 return l Will say that
during the past few days I have bought
twenty sacks OF -four for $50 l want to
say that from what l can learn White
Pass is farce of the worst kind, and those
who get 10 Dawson City will only do so
after they have crossed Chilcoot Pass"
There is much talk in this city tonight
over letter received here to-day from T.
B. Cory, one OF the best-known mining
engineers in the West. He was with the
Oregon Improvement Company some
time before ne left on the steamer AI-Ki
for Dyea. The letter was written July 81

So the French Officials Take
Great Precautions to Pro-
teCt the President.
SURROUNDED BY TROOPS UPON
RETURNING TO PARIS.
While Escorting Faure Every Sol
dier Carries a Revolver in His
Right Hand.

PARIS, FRANCE, Aug. I2.-The
Figaro publishes a statement, the
authenticity of which the paper
vouches for, that Coli, the assas-
sin of Canovas. declared in prison
yesterday that other "executions"
would shortly take place, and
Faure would be the next to meet
the fate that befell Carnot.
The fear of anarchists enter
tanned by the authorities has be-
come almost panic, and extraor-
dinary precautions for the protec-
tion of Faure have been taken in
consequence of the declaration
that the President would be the
next to die at the hands of the
anarchists.
Faure returned to Paris to-day
from his summer villa, and in pro-
ceeding from the railway station
to the Elysee was preceded and
followed by company of cuiras-
siers, while upon each side of him
was line of soldiers, every one
of whom carried revolver in his
RIGHT hand.

CAPTAIN MER3Y ACCEPTED.
The Greater RepubGc of Central
America Valves Objections to the
New Minister.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 12.-Cap-
tain w. L. Merry of California received
the assurances of the State Department to-
day that the objections made to receiving
him as United States Minister to Nicara-
qua, Costa Rica and Salvador have been
Withdrawn by the authorities of the
Greater Republic of Central America. He
will leave Washington for his post at
once.
The failure of the United States to recog-
nize the Greater Republic by providing
for Minister 10 the countries com mposing
it, instead of dividing the duties of the
Ministers between two OF the countries
of the federation and another Central
American country not in it, is said to be
one of the reasons for the objection to
Merry. 1t is also understood that the fact
that Captain Merry was the agent in San
Francisco of steamship line suspected of
conveying contraband goods TO revolu-
tionists in Central America is behind the
declaration that he was persona non grata.

HIS APRIL REPORT.

Office of Street Commissioner, city hall,
San Antonio, Texas. May 3, 1897.
Hon. Mayor of the City of San Anto-

Put one steam roller in operation.
Repaired and put in good condition
all windows. blinds and thing in the
city hall. Repaired and rebuilt %
culverts and bridges. Taken charge of
and put sweeper in operation. The cost
of sweeping at present is much grea-
ter than former months, but it is be-
ing done more thoroughly as at pres
ent we are sDrinkling before sweep
ing and cleaning the cutters much bet
ter. Under the former contract sys-
tenn the olazas and block paved
| streets were only gone over once a
week whereas we sweep $4,000 square
yards every night or all of the paved
streets every other night. I find al
most all of the small bridges and cul-
verts are in a very poor condition hav-
ing rotted out it seems about the same
time. The cutters of our streets are
growing up with brush and weeds and
thorough cleaning would greatly i'm
prove them. Very respectfully,

GREEKS WERE TOO SLICK.

Lamia Thessaly, May 1.-two thou
sand Turks have been sent to Lake No
zero, south of Domokos, in order to
close the roads between Domokos
and this port. An out post skirmish
occurred near Domokos yesterday
morning. Three thousand Greeks have
been dispatched to reinforce the Greek
troops at DomPkos. Efforts of the
Greek commanders were directed to-
ward preventing the Turks from sur
rounding Domokos. This latter was
apparently the plan of Edhem Pasha
and would possibly have resulted in
the capture of the main body of the
Greek troops under the command of
Crown Prince Constantine.

hounds and Siberian bloodhounds. An
importation of these animals has been
made by Ranchman Quealey, and others
will follow. The Siberian bloodhound
is the only dog that can master gray
wolf alone, and with their assistance it
is believed the packs of gray wolves
which prey constantly upon the young
stock of the country can be thinned out
and with the bounty the sport will be
profitable.
