FEELING IS INTENSE.
Promoters of Winter KIondilxe Ex-
peditions Are Unpopular.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.-Capt.
Herring, of the revenue. cutter Thomas
Corwin, stated that many Of the steam
ers going up the Yukon river are un-
seaWorthy, and he strongly advises
prospectors, especially those from the
East, not to buy tickets on any YES
sells until they are satisfied they will be
able to make the trip. When the Cor
nwin left ST. Michael's, on Sept. "a, the
steamer Hamilton had started up the
Yukon, expecting to winter wherever
timber could be found The Seattle
No. was also going in with Mayor
Wood and party. She will also winter
on the river. The w. R. Merwin, an
old sidewheeler, carrying 140 passen-
gers, and the Mare Island, have started
from Dutch Harbor for winter quarters,
but it is doubtful if she will get fur
ther than ST. Mfehael's, as they have
sixty miles of rough water to cross,
and both are cranky river boats"
There is intense feeling against the
promoters of winter expeditions to the
Klondike, and serious trouble may yet
occur. Statements by Capt Herring
regarding the unseaworthiness of the
old river boats sent to the Yukon are
corroborated by DR.. Sheldon Jackson.
There is plenty of coal at Dutch Har-
Dor and in Alaska, a supply having
been recently landed by the steamer
Bristol. AT Dutch Harbor, seventy-five
men are engaged in putting together
two river steamers which were taken
to that place in sections.
The steamer Portland may be expect
ed at Seattle about Oct. %, though the
Cleveland may come In her stead, as
it is doubtful which one will start first
The steamer will bring the last batch
of miners who will leave the Klondike
for the winter with the result of their
seasons work. 1t is possible that

NEW YORK, Oct 14-Carl Decker,
one of the rescuers of Evangelina Cos
sio Cisneros from the Casa de Reco-
jidas, Havana, arrived in this city On
the Spanish line steamship Panama
this afternoon. He was met down the
bay by a number of newspaper men,
and said: II was commissioned to go
to Cuba and deliver .Senorita Cossio
Cisneros from the filthy Recojidas pr1s-
on. 1 started from New York Aug. %,
determined to free the woman, though
I did not see my. way clear as to the
plan adopted. After reaching Havana
many plans suggested themselves to
me, but each one proved impracticable.
I tried to bribe the jailer or alcalde,
but he wanted $4,000 for the job, and
positive assurances that he and his
family could get to the United States.
This was too rich a proposition for
me-
Mr.. Decker repeated the story OF the
rescue from the Jail as already told IN
his dispatches, and then related what
happened after the girl was out OF the
prison He said. when Senorita Cos
sio y Cisneros entered our shanty ad-
joining the jail, we let her rest few
moments and then took her to a car
riage waiting outside, and drove her 10
the house of a friend. The friend was
holding a reception that night, which
was a part of the plot. The man who
drove the carriage was one Of the con-
spirators. Senorita Cossio was ex-
hausted from excitement when she
reached the house, but she did not give
way On Thursday morning she was
taken to the home of friend where
she remained in secrecy until Saturday
afternoon.
'To reach the steamer for New YORK
she was obliged tos walk down Oblspo
street, the principal thoroughfare OF
Havana, at a time when the street was
crowded, and yet take her time and

CIRCLE CITY ABANDONED.
New Land Office May BE Established
at Weare.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-In view of
the reports of the expected founding
of a new city in Alaska, to be known
as Weare, on the Yukon river, between
the boundary line of British Columbia
and ST. Michaels, with the design of
making it the capital of the proposed
new territory, it may be possible that
the interior department may find it
necessary to locate the new land office
there instead of at Circle City, where
it was originally contemplated. Official
reports have reached here that Circle
City, until lately practically the only
settlement on the Yukon, has been
practically abandoned.
w. L. Diston, of Illinois, recently ap-
pointed surveyor general of Alaska,
has telegraphed the interior depart
ment that he Isl, en- route for Sitka.
The department has been notified of
the presence at Sitka OF the recently
appointed register and receiver of the
land Office recently established at that
place. Hereafter all surveys of min
eral lands in Alaska, including, of
course, the Yukon region and all other
parts of the territory, as well as all
entries made, must be reported to the
Sitka Office.

Reciprocity
Provisions.
Committed
10 His Care.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-The presi-
dent has decided to appoint special
commissioner with plenary powers to
carry into effect the reciprocity provt-
sions of sections and 4. of the tariff
act, approved July "a, 1897. 1t was
found upon making an investigation OF
the matter that the regular force OF
the department of state is at present
Sc overcrowded with pressing business
that serious delay in carrying out the
expressed wish of congress would inev-
itably follow if, in addition to the usual
routine work of the department, it's Of
ficers were required to perform the spe-
cial examinations and negotiations es-
sential to carry forward the will of
congress, as expressed in the sections
above referred to. Moreover, the pres
sure for early and consistent action in
the arrangement of measures of reci-
procity has been very great from for
eign countries, as we'll as from our own
citizens.
The interest of the president in reci-
procity is especially keen, and during
his connection with the tariff legisla-
ton of 1890, while chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means of the house
of representatives, the inclusion in that
law of a reciprocity provision was con-
elusive of his determination to foster
and promote American industry and
commerce by this means.
In view of these facts, the president
has designated the Hon. John A. Kas-
son, of Iowa, as such special commits
sioner with Chapman Coleman, of
Kentucky, as secretary, and John Ball

opposition to refreshments is George
w Riggs, a leading insurance man.
M Logan singled out Mr.. Riggs as an
opponent this afternoon, and announc-
ed that, in his opinion, Mr.. Riggs was
seeking cheap notoriety. He further
said the bit and spur club can take care
of itself, and it will proceed along the
original lines. The reply of Mr.. Riggs
came hot off the bat. He declared
himself as follows: 81 may be seeking
cheap notoriety, but [ never went
abroad wearing a borrowed uniform
nor dead fathers medals. Now since
Mr.. Logan has made a personal matter
of this thing, we will give him a fight
to a finish. Every man in the club
will be arrested, if an attempt is made
to violate the Hyde Park prohibition
laws. A letter will be sent to every
member, as far as known, asking him
to withdraw from the club, and not
countenance an assault upon the law
This can be construed as fair warn
ing
Both sides appear determined, but
the odds are with Mr. Riggs, as the
chief of police has declared him in the
right.

NEW YORK. Oct 14.-With the az
ceptance of the Jeffersonian Democ-
racy's nomination for comptroller by
ex-Postmaster Dayton, the tickets OF
the leading parties and associations
that will contest for the offices at the
municipal election next month may
be said to be complete. Against the
statement that negotiations are In
progress for the withdrawal Of G. ;.
Fairchild from the Citizens Union tick
ct. upon which he was nominated Tor
COMPTROLLER, there stands the explIclt
denial by Mr.. Fairchild that such
proposition has been submitted or en-
tertained by him. There ceased some
time ago to be any talk of the, with
drawal of mayoralty candidates, and
there is every indication that voters
will have a choice between Tracy
RepO Van Wyck CTammany), Low
&C. ID, George (Jef. Dem.), Gleason
(anti-tea and anti-Tiger Dem) OBrien
Gnited Democracy. This last named
candidate has stepped into the nstS
in consequence of Henry Georges with
draWal of his acceptance of the United
Democracy's nomination, and will be
given a place upon the official ballot
through means of a petition The con-
test. however, will be quadrangular
rather than sextangular, Messrs. Glea-
son and OBrien being scarcely regard
ed as in the running.
A peculiar feature of the political
situation is that, while Mr.. Dayton has
accepted the nomination for comptrol-
Ter on the George ticket, he announces
that he does not stand upon the plat
form of the Jefferson Democracy. The
chasm thus created is bridged by the
declaration Of the Georgeite managers
that the campaign committee long ago
came to the conclusion that the oIlce
of comptroller was not a political one.
Provided the man selected to go on the
ticket was in every way qualified fer
the office, the managers say it was noI
necessary for him to indorse all the
pIanks of the platform, and no sucn
Endorsement was required of Mr.. Day
ton. Mr.. Dayton said today that the
issue he would make in his campaign
would be that of personal liberty
against political tyranny.
The betting at the hotels up town and
in the resorts of sporting men sener-
ally is said by the Evening World,
which is supporting Mr.. Georges cam
didacy. to be as follows: Van Wyck,
to 5; Low, 8 to /; George, 8 to l, ana
Tracy, 100 to 1. A bet of $100 even was
made that Van Wyck will poll piu-
rality of 15,C00.
