Slowly Disiriegrating.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 20.-It is re
ported among strikers today that sui
is to be brought against Sheriff Low
reg for obstructing the roads in Plum
and Patton townships. Strikers con-
tend he exceeded his authority in
closing roads 10 them and that the
matter will be .estad in the courts.
When told of reports Of his impend-
ing prosecution, the sheriff said no
change would be made in his methods
for a few days. The camps of the
strikers are slowly disintegratlng and
he thought in a day or two all the
strikers would have gone to their
homes. The cost of maintaining dep
uties up to this time amounts to
something like $4,000. Attorney
Kaufman representing New York and
Cleveland, says the expense of EN-
ploying deputies is great and that the
order of court has been forced rigidly.
If campers do not leave Mr.. De Ar
mitt will petition the court to issue
attachment for contempt. The sher-
if, however, says he will not inter-
fere with camps but will not permit
strikers on the highways. Forty-sev-
en- coal companies in Pittsburg
district have signed the uniformity
agreement. Eleven other big con-
Germs have promised to sign.

NEARING AN END.

Wheeling, w. Va, Aug. 20.-The
coal strike seems to be gaining on the
Norfolk and Western railway, but it
will take rapid work to recoup the
Paramount and Kanawaha losses.
The announcement that all railroad

on to aid in the strike is regarded as
the last gasp of the strikers.

tional City has arrived from st. MiehaeIs.
J. A. Ralston, one Of the three passen-
gers who came down from Dawson City.
said: Provisions at Dawson City are
too scarce TO take chances there over
winter. There are about COCO people in
and around Dawson City and the mines
and it is safe to say that when / left
there was not food enough to last
through the winter There Is plenty of
money, but we could not secure pro
visions. No reliable estimate of the
amount Of gold to be taken out can be
made, as the miners who are short on
provisions can not work. A rough osti.
mate based on what has already been
taken out, would place the output Of the
mines already located at S25OOOO,O 900.

Washington, Sept, ss--Ths treasury
department has made public the follow.
ing letter received from government Of
ticial now ON the way to the gold fields,
stating at the same time that the writer,
whose name is withheld, had been l2
years in the service and was thoroughly
reliable;
"Dyea, Aug. al deem 1t my duty
to write you ON subject that does not
come strictly within my line of duty, as
1t trenches somewhat on the functions Of
the treasury department. l have had
a long talk with MIR. Ivey, collector OF
customs for Alaska, who is at present
At Skaguay. three miles below here. The
Skaguay trail is the most largely used
overland route Though by no means the
bestl to the Klondike. MIR. Ivey in
forms me that there are now between
tide water and the lake something like
1000 people and about 1000 horses.
THE commander Of one of the vessels
now at Skaguay states that Ii vessels
are chartered to land eargoes at that
place between now and the 18th of Sep
tsnsheT and that the number Of passen-
gers will average 200 to each vessel,
making $500 more people who will at
tempt TO 60 in this fall
Il have talked with some Of the most
experienced traders and miners in this
vicinity and they are unanimous in the
prediction that not over 20 per cent of
this vast number win get through TO
Dawson before winter sets in. The other
SO per cent win camp on the trail and
those who survive and get back to tide
water viii have TO winter at Skaguay
or return south. II the rush continues
two weeks longer hundreds of people will
perish.
The postmaster and Indian trader at
this place MIR. Heron) states that more
than 1000 men have gone up the Chil-
kOOt pass during the past 80 days and
that 700 of them are still this side of the
lake, "a miles from here. Vessels are
arriving every day or two, and at the
present rate Of influx another thousand
will enter by the trail by Septmber 10,
Heron is Of the opinion that not more
than 20 out Of a hundred will get through
and he says this trail is far more dan.
gerous than the Skaguay after the snow
sets in. Heron says il the rush Continues
another week the resultant Toss Of life
will be appalling. II it difficult To sug-
gest way to stop this thrush of people,
