WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug 27.-Several
complaints have reached the Treasury
Department recently that large mum bers
of men bouhd for the Klondike country
but without provisions or money are now
being landed at st. Michael, Alaska. None
of the regular lines of steamers, it is said,
will book parties for the Klondike who
are not provided with sufficient amount
OF provisions and money to maintain
themselves for reasonable time without
danger of suffering. Some OF the tramp
lines OF steamers, however, are said to
ship any one who can pay for his passage
without regard to the future. The result
is SAID to be that a considera BILE crowd is
accumulating in the vicinity OF st.
Michael who already are becoming de-
pendent upon the charity of others for
their food. This unexpected situation, 1t
is feared, will lead to trouble before the
winter is over, and the Treasury Depart

To Save Souls by Means
of Living Pictures
of Vice.
Novel Campaign Against Sin,
With Reformed Men as
the Actors.
Startling Realism of the Scenes.
The Crusade to Be Carried to
All Large Cities.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 27.-General
Hadley and Revivalist Sam Jones to-day
inaugurated a new departure in rescue
work at Asbury Park which has created
sensation in religious and other circles.
1t is to save by tableaux or by living
pictures of vice. The principal parts are
taken by reformed men. 1t is pictorial
Gu m paign against sin. Great crowds are
in attendance. The cam paign is to be
carried to the great cities. At one SIDE OF
the platform i'll the church Is green
cloth-covered frame, such as surrounds
living pictures at theater. The leading
man holds his mothers glass OF wine, and
the third figure is ready to I'LL the glass
again. This tableaux is called "The First
Glass; Nothing but water is allowed IN
the glass, and for cards, of which game
was in progress when the tableaux were
first given, deck of figures is used.
In the second tableau the hero looks
suspicicusly as if he had been on pro-
longed spree, and hold an empty gin bot
tie in one hand and a dirty clay pipe In
the other. Then the scene changes, and
the usual red-covered couch of an opium
layout and Chinese signs lend realism to
the pose of the reclining figure with the
dope" pipe in his mouth.
There is no acting about these ia
bleaux and not word is said, because we
are not running theater," said General
Hadley.
Again the hero's garments show signs
of decline in social and moral conditions,
while an officer of the Church Army has
appeared to try to keep him from drink
ing beer dregs from an ola tin can. The
last tableau is Saved to the Uttermost. p"
and shows the regeneraied man i'll the
uniform OF first lieutenant of the Church
Army.
A prison cell is being built to be occu-
pied by an ex-convict, John IL. Murray,
who is now superintendent Of the New
burg Rescue Mission. Once he was in the
Ohio penitentiary. He will Iut on a
striped suit once more aud occupy the
cell. Mr.. Murray will sit in tnis cell. read
his B BILE as he did at the time OF his con-
version and fall on his knees to pray.
Then he will come out to tell the audience
how it happened.
This is so new departure in the rescue
work that it has been widely discussed by
Episcopalians, many of whom fear the
idea is not in harmony with the dignity
of the church.
A reformed navy officer, who was ex-
PEELED from a nearby navy-yard on ac-
count of drink and is now missionary in
that same yard, will appear in Jack-tar
COS tune soon with a sailors grcggery for
setting and enacting sc,nss IN mis- own
experience as the pre- sent ia bleaux do
"These are not imaginary episodes"
said young Hadley, but actual expert
ences in the lives of the men,"
They are so original that Governor Had
ley has taken steps to protect every right
TO their representation and to prevent any
imitation, and proposes to use the Ia
beaux exclusively for the benefit OF rescue
work.

The Rush Is Abating.

TACOMA, WASH Aug. 27.-That the
Kiondike rush Ior this season is abating g
was shown when the steamship City of To-
peka sailed for Juneau to-day. She had
but tifty-six passengers, four horses, six
head of cattle and the ordinary freight
on board. At Fort Wrangel ten of the
party will disem bark, intending to go TO
Dawson by wav of the Stickeen River,
Telegraph Creek and the new Lake Tes-
lin route. The remainder of her passen-
gers will be transferred at Juneau for
Dyea and Skaguey.

TACOMA, WASH, Aug. 27.-The Kon-

thinning out the ranks of farmhands in
all sections of this State. Hop-pickers are
so scarce that growers have invited 1000
Indians from British Colum bia and the
Neah Bay and Quillayute reservations.
near Cape FIattery, TO come down aud
pick hops. Three hundred have already
arrived in their canoes and are camping
on Puyallup reservation. Picking will
commence in a week. Meanwhile the

the shortest and best route to the gold
districts of the upper Yukon.
Matters have now taken On a practical
shape leading up 10 the construction. OF a
narrow-gauge railroad from below the
mouth of Telegraph Creek up tine slight
elevation, which is marked by all travel
ers who go that way, TO !he level able
land leading to Lake Teslin.
Mr.. Mckinnon states that engineers are
now in the field, and that route has been
surveyed from the head of navigation on
Stickeeu River to the lake. There are no
great engineering feas involved in the
construction OF the narrow-gauge road
and very low cost is considered neces-
sary to put a practical Ina between salt
water and navigation on Lake Teslin.
The Dunsmuirs OF Victoria and San
Francisco and English capitalists there
are said to be working with the Hudson
Bay Com pany, the latter to find an ade-
quate steamer service from Fort Wrangel
up the st ckeen River to the starting
point OF the railroad. Upon the compile
tion of the railroad material for the con-
struction of steamers to ply on Lake Tes-
tin will be loaded and sent through. II
the plans of the projectors are carried out
the work will be pushed on the road dur
ing the coming winter and the through
line will be ready for business in spring.
The distances given by Mr.. McKinnon
are comp paratvely short. The Stickeen
River route is l35 miles and the railroad
connecting to Lake TesIin is 80 miles.
The lake is 120 miles long, and the re-
mainder of the trip downward will be by
the Lewis River, ~hich would bring those
going in by that route direct into the
richest part of the Id country.

ON the Wurpath.

PITTSBURG, PA, Aug. 27.-The Goa
operators of the Pittsbur2 division have
been asleep during the past few days. Ihe
impre ssion in certain circles that there
would be no attempt made to start the
mines seems to have been established tol
purpose, and that purpose was to diver,
the attention OF the miners of this dis
trict.
1t was given out that the Cleveland
operators had gone to their homes for the
ostensible purpose of awaiting the result
of the st. Louis convention. Some o.
them went. but others did not. Those re-
naming behind were members OF the
newly appointed committee, whose du ty
1T is TO perfect the arrangements for start
ing some OF the mines and break the
strike.
One of the first moves was to get in
touch with the railroad companies. 1t was
made very apparent that the railroads
were losing a large amount of business,
and that they were fellow uffereIs with
the coal operators.
The expense of getting imported labor
into the district was discus sed, and the
railroad companies agreed TO share their
portion of the outlay.
After this agreement was made the
work OF hiring imported labor was taken
charge OF by special sub-com mittee.
Just when they will be brought into the
district cannot be learned.
Barring & McSweeney's detective
agency on Fourth avenue has been hiring
men for the last day or two to guard
miners. and it is said that they have Sc
cured over 100. 1t was reported that they
were to be sent to the mines on the Pan
handle, which are to be started in pursu-
ance OF the agreement made with Cleve-
land. This was denied by the superin'
tendent OF the agency, who said they
were for mine in Central Pennsylvania,
though he would not disclose where ii
was.
