TRAMPED OUT OF DAWSON
Richard Shaw Brings --latest News From
Klondike Metropolis.
Thinks There Is Food Enough There
to Last Through the Winter
New Gold Fields.

VICTORIA, B. c., December 2S.-The
steamer Tees, from Skaguay, brought down
five klondikers-Richard Shaw of Victoria
who left Dawson on December 49,, and three
other Nictorians, and T. Handy of Seattle
who started on their tramp October 81.
The party leaving on the latter date ran
out of provisions at Fort Selkirk and had
to beg their way along, getting food at
different camps, or, when it was not to be
had, living on anything they could shoot.
Shaw came out by dog train, leaving Daw-
son after the ice formed. He passed fifty
men along the river bound outward. They
were all coming along with just enough
food to last them.
At Stewart river forty-three outfits bound
for Dawson were frozen in. Two of the
three RATS of beef which were on bars
just above Dawson were carried down the
river right past the town by the floating
ice. On the night of November 10 Jim
Cary's saloon at Dawson was robbed of
S2O.ooo Ed Lord, the bartender, and two
other men were arrested. AT Fort Sell
kirk man named Keeler Was robbed of
5000. Ed Jackson was arrested on sus-
picion.
A report reached Dawson of rich strike
made on '43 Below on Hunter creek The
district went S. to the pan and there were
five feet of gravel. Dominion creek is also
turning out well.
Americans complain bitterly of having to
pay duty on their outfits at Tagish lake.
}. W. MacEay. who left Dawson on No
vember r. reached Skaguay before the
steamer Tees left. 1T is stated that he
brought SI5,0y0 in dust. Shaw says none
OF the men on the trails will get down un-
til the ice goes out in the spring. Just be-
fore he left claim owners reduced wages
from SO to 80 per day, and men were
threatening to go on a strike
Speaking of the food situation at Daw-
son. Shaw stated that food was scarce but
that the men now there have enough to
last them through the winter. There are
a number of men along the trails who are
not very we'll provided. All the recent
mails are at Big Salmon waiting means of
transportation to Dawson

PEk1N, December 2S.-The German ques-

attitude of the powers. Germany's with
drawal from Kias Chou bay is said to be
conditional upon her finding a suitable ma
val station elsewhere.

RESTORATION OF CADETS.
Secretary Long FavOrs Their Ap-
pOintment to the Navy.


pointment to the Navy.
Secretary Long has written a letter to
Senator Hale, chairman Of the Senate naval
committee, indorsing the bill providing for
the restoration to the navy of a number OF
cadets who were. discharged several years
ago because there were vacancies in the
service. The bill authorizes the appoint
ment of these young men as assistant en-
gineers, which branch is now short its
quota. Engineer-in-C1iefM Melville says the
existing vacancies cannot be filed from
the annual list of graduates at the Naval
Academy under existing law. Secretary
Long says that fifteen or twenty of the
discharged cadets desire to re-enter the
navy. and in his opinion they would make
creditable officers. He recommends to the
naval committee that these men be ap-
pointed to such grades a. will give them
the actual and relative rank Immediately
below the classes with which they would
have taken rank If they had been commits
stoned upon graduation. He is strongly op-
posed, however, to the proposition to give
the men back pay for the time they have
been out OF the service.

DEPARTURE POSTPONED.
Delay in Repairing Vessels Of tn
North Atlantic Sauadron

Owing to unforeseen delays in completing
the repairs to the vessels of the North At
lantic squadron, their departure from New
York has been postponed until January TO-
1t is therefore improbable that the fleet
will reach their winter rendezvous at Key
West much before the end of next month
So far as can be learned, the Spanish au-
thorities have offered no objections what
ever to the plan of the Navy Department
involving a cruise of the fleet in the Gulf
of Mexico. 1t is more than likely, however,
that the vessels will keep far enough away
from Cuba to avert any possible miscon-
struction of the object Of their presence in
that quarter.

LAW VERSUS THE LYNCHING
BEE.

BEE.
To the Daily Light. VI.
The editor of the Autonomist, Hous-
ton, Texas, seems to be non compus
mentus lynch law advocate. He tries
manifestly unsucessfully to criticise the
position or the actual motion, made by
the very Hon. James S. Hogg, ex-goI-
ernor of Texas, relative to lynching.
Gov. Hogg is more than a blantan
and cuttlefish politician or partisan; he
is a patriot; true citizen; one that
is law abiding and believes in abiding
by the laws enacted, rather than by
the nefarious and barbarous. modus
operandi of the hellish lynching bee,
or the green and cross-eyed monster
Judge Lynch.
Gov. Hogg's motion, editor of the
Autonomist, is all right.
Right minded, right hearted, right
thinking, law abiding and justice low
ing people of Texas and America and
the world second Governor Hogg's mo-
ton, and il not this generation, then
another will see that the motion pre-
walls to the good of the home, the COM
Hlunlly, the SldlSI the uulOhB yes, tie
world; as they are influencing and i'm
pressing others by precepts and exam
pies.
Every infamous raper, of whatever
color he may be, he is diabolos iIcar-
mated. He should answer to the full
est demands of an impartial justice,
melted out according to law and by
law.
Gov. Hogg is law-abiding citizen.
Who is the editor of the Autonomist?
Manliness and womanliness are col
orless. Principle and patriotism are
colerless. May universal invocation
on Sunday next, our independence an
niversary, especially, and all other
days as well, be offered from earnest
and patriotic Christian hearts in be-
half of our dear country and its causes
and interests and every welfare, sub
jective and objective. I am neither
politician nor partisan, but
1 will live daily to be a true
man of true principles and true patri-
otism; and when such loyal man to
these principles as the Hon. James S.
Hogg, is so 'unjustly and nefariously
held up to the reading public, as one
with him and all others like him, for
law and executions according to law
and by law in all civilized countries 1
say when a patriot is assailed for such
patriotism, 1 am compelled to give ex-
preston for the cause of principle
and patriotism, at least a word.
The defender of lynch law, the Au-
economist of Houston, to my mind
should be classed with the nefarious
journals that are now prohibited cir
culation in some states. May it be
kept out of the hands of the youth Of
our land of all race varieties.
Yours for true and unchanging prin-
ciples and for unspasmodic patriotism
always, d. s. MOTEN.
