a thrill Of horror throughout journals

posed government work at the mouth
OF the river stopped in New Orleans
and while there it was learned. that
contrary to the usual custom, repre-
sentalives of the press would not be
permitted to accompany the expedi-
ton, the excuse being that the steamer
engaged was not Of sufficient capacity
TO accommodate them. With true jour
nalistic enterprise the Picayune chart

panied the i'll fated expedition and lost
their lives in the collision that occurred
between the yacht Argo and the steam,

THE KLONDTKE POST.
Canada and the United States to
Cooperate In Carrying Mail
WILL DOUBLE THE DELIVERY SERVICE
In Place of the Present Monthly Con-
tract Deliveries WIN BE Made
semimonthly-Ne Postofices
WIN BE Established.

Washington, Aug. 20.-The Canadian
government and the United States have
practically agreed upon cooperation in
augmenting the postal facilities for the
Klondike region. and the result will
shortly be evidenced IN a substantial
doubling Of the mail service from the
coast into that district The reply OF
Canada TO Acting Postmaster General
Shallenberger's proposition to establish
an exchange OF mails at Circle City and
Dawson City has Just reached here. 1t
Is a counter proposition made by Cana
da, the latter agreeing to perform the
service from Dawson City down TO Dyea
by means OF a contract Of her own. with
reimbursement TO be made by this gov
ernment for it's share Of the service.
This differs from this country's propo-
sition in that under the latter the United
States was to let the contract and look
to Canada for reimbursement for the
atter's share. The counter scheme. how
ever is satisfactory 70 the postofiice de-
partment here, and It Will shortly be
formally accepted and the new sched-
ule put into effect by Canada. Canada's
pervice provides for exchanges of mails
at Fort Cuddy and two other stations
exact route is not outlined, but in all
probability It win strike off directly
southwark from Dawson City. which Is
on the British side Of the line down 10
Dyea. At present the district gets the
benefit Of mails once a month.
semimonthIy Mails.
The new arrangement will furnish an
additional service, giving seminonthly
mails the trips probably being sand
wiched between the dates designated In
the present contract Of the United
States.
Canada's proposition for carrying the
mails one round trip a month between
Dawson City and Dyea has been form
ally accepted by Acting Postmaster
General Shallenberger and the Cana
dian government notified OF the action.
In this communication this government
is stated to he IN readiness 10 assume
its share of the responsibility. and
Canada Is urged to put the service into
operation at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Dyea, which Is 100 miles above
Juneau. on the Lynn canal. and Dawson
| City will be declared international post
al exchange Offices The British mails
will be carried by the United States
from Victoria. B. c., to Dyea.
The service win bring about the Gre
alton Of a postofiice at Dawson City
and also at Fort Cuddy Forty Mile and
probably at other points, althouHh these
mentioned are beyond Dawson. The
service will be under the immediate SUI
pervlsion Of Canadian mounted police
and the carriers viii be equipped with
dogs and sledges ana have Indian driv-
ers. The first contract at least vii
be for one year. Whenever the British
mails can be expedited by carryine
them over the present Circle City rout'
between the dates Of the new service
this Will be done.
