Additional $4,OOO,OOO in Gold

Rush Of ProSpectorS for the

BAN FRANCISCO, July 22.- The steam
ship Umatilla, which arrived during
the day from Puget sound ports
brought down almost 100000 worth of
Alaskan gold, of which $l30,O00 was in
gold dust from Seattle consigned to
Wells-Fargo company. There were sew
eral other shipments of gold in sacks.
Among the sensational advices received
was one from St. Michaels to the effect
that over $4,OOO,O00 in gold dust which
had not been included with the fortunes
brought here by miners will be shipped
through the Wells-Fargo company,
other lucky miners having reached the
island since the departure of the Ex-
celsior and Portland, who have secured
greater fortunes individually than those
whose stories have already been told.

NEW YORK, July 22.-One Of the
most significant utterances in corrobor.
alton of the stories Of immense gold
finds in the Northwest territory, is
found in q letter received in this city
from Captain Francis Tuttle, COM
mander of the revenue cutter Bear, who
was at the time of writing at st.
Michaels on the Yukon river. The
letter was mailed July 1. Captain Tut
tie says:
"The days of 40 in California were a
mere side show compared with the ex-
citement III the Yukon country. AS
write, st. Michaels is full of miners
awaiting an opportunity to get down to
Puget Sound and to California. Nearly
every other man of them has $4,000
worth of dust, and there is not man
here with less than $l5, 1000. The latter
are referred to as "poor fellows"
Captain Tuttle adds that he cannot
afford to lay long in st. Michaels, or
his whole crew will become daft.

FARGO, N. d., July 2l.-Three days

Sunday morning 5.25 inches have
fallen. In the last "a hours 1858 inches
came down. Much damage has been
done in this city, cellars being flooded.
Forty per cent of the crop in
the inundated valley is under

moisture it seemed possible to stand be-
fore this last three days flood. Thou.
sands of acres will be uncut and farm
ers are now talking of a half crop where
a week ago they estimated the biggest
yield in the history of the state. The
rainfall seems general over the entire
state.

|IIRFF DEBATE DULL
.,,eideration of the Confer
ence Report in the Senate
Lacks Interest.
Main obstacle of the Day a
Point of Order Raised
by Mr.. Jones.
.,,oe+ a Certajnty the Final
Almost a Certainty the Final
Vote Will Be Taken
This Week.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The senate
.oucluded the formal reading of the
Tariff conference report during the day.
The debate was spiritless in the main.
Early in the day Mr.. Jones lark made
a contest against the conference COM
m;ttee on the ground that it had ex-
ceeded its authority i'll so amending the
magraph relating to printing paper as
10 placing reta!iatory duty against the
countries paying export bounty on
wood pulp. His point of order was de-
hated at much length and finally over
ruled by Vice President Hobart. This
removed the only obstacle thus far en-
countered by the report. The reci-
procity amendment and the abandon
ment of the stamp tax on bonds and
stocks developed much criticism.
Final Vote This Week.
When the senate adjourned for the
day the understanding was general that
the final vote would be taken on the
conference report on the tariff bill not
later than Friday night, but there was
no formal agreement to this effect.
Both Senators Jones and White, who
have been leading the opposition to the
bill on behalf of the Democrats, ex-
pressed the opinion that the vote would
not be postponed beyond this time.
Senator Allison also stated that, while
he still considered vote possible before
then, he felt very confident that it
would not be postponed beyond Friday.
In the event of vote on the tariff Fri
day final adjournment is generally pre-
dicted for Saturday.

Striking Miners Seize and Hold a Burling-

PEORIA, Ills, July 22.-Fifty striking
miners at Pennington seized Burling-
ton freight train at IL a. M, demanding
that it carry them to Dunfarmline,
where they intended to call out the $50
miners at work, their wages having
been increased 3 per cent. They re-
fused to pay or get off and held the
train until 3 o'clock, when the con-
ductor cut off the engine and ran to
Canton, returning with the sheriff and
the states attorney. They argued with
the men and the latter finally aban-
doned the train after holding it five
hours.

Sheriff Clark of Washington county
is fully prepared for any army Of
marching strikers that may invade his
domain. He has nearly 800 deputies
sworn in who are available at any time.
The sheriff is on the ground in person
and if there is false movement made
on the part of any of the strikers dras-
tic measures will be resorted to.
The situation among the miners in
trs district is practically unchanged.
1he suspension is complete with the ex-
ception of Dearmitt's mines, and though
considerable suffering is reported among
the strikers and their families the de-
termination to fight it out is apparently
as strong as on the first day of the
strike.
