seattle,s Rush AhatInr

SEATTLE, Aug. 20.-While the rush to
the Klondike seems to be abating some
what, it is believed that if the Portland
comes down Thursday. next week, the
day she is due, with much gold, the ex-
citement will be opened up again and
several more Thousand will rush
north this fall, regardless of conse-
quences. Thus far this week 544 pros
pectors have left Seattle for the North
222 on the Humbildt, 145 on the Al-Ki,
80 on the Faralion and 81 on the City of
Kingston. The Rosalie is due from the
North Sunday, and will leave again for

MANY MUST TURN BACK.
Not More Than 5000 Men Can Reach
KlondIke This Year.

New YORK, Aug. 20.-The World says
Portus B. Weare. a western capitalist,
who is largely interested in many enter
prises with John Cudahy, of Chicago, is
in the city. He was one of the origina-
tors of the $25. 100000 company formed
by Cudahy and others to develop the
Klondike territory. Talking to a re-
porter he said:
1 have been in Alaska. There is plenty
of gold there. 1t cannot be mined in so
years. Owing to The limited facilities
for transportation it is impossible that
more than 5000 of the large army that
has started for the new fields can reach
there this year. That is very liberal
estimate. The divide will be closed in a
few weeks, and those who do not succeed
in crossing before that time will have to
turn back to the settle ment or run the
risk of death from cold or starvation.
"Our company owns feet of 10 ships,
and we have begun to construct five
steamboats, at Port Get There. We also
propose to erect buildings in the mining
region. To do this we must have wood

been cut by Indians, but nearly all of
them have gone to the mines, leaving
the wood camps almost deserted.
''We shall send out two expeditions
from Seattle. September 10th and 18th.
We have already hired 800 men who
propose to prospect for gold. We want
others. Prospectors must have endur-
ance, and that is the kind we want. We
can find remunerative employment for
many more. It is our intention to sail
for Port Get There on st. Michaels is
land, where all who want it will be fed
and lodged and paid 81 cord for cut
ting wood. An average man can cut
cord and half day. We must have
wood for our boats and for the buildings
we propose to erect. The doors, windows
and other parts as far as possible will be
made at Port Get There.
sat the proper time our ship will leave
Port Get There and go to the mouth of
the Yukon via the Aleutian islands. The
gold fields will be reached by June 15, as
early date, if not earlier, than by any
other route for those who did not start
weeks ago. Then, too, the journey will
be attended with less danger.''

Deputies Were outwitteu.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 20.-This morning
the striking miners encamped at Turtle
Creek stole a march on the deputies
guarding the Oak Hill mine. While the
deputies were waiting for detachment
OF campers to appear on the road to the
mines, the strikers were making long
detour SO as to approach the mouth of
the pit from the other side, and they
succeeded in getting there without being
observed. When the deputies, COM
manded by Deputy Sheriff David Hanna
appeared, a copy of the injunction was
read to John Large. leader of the strik-
ers, and they left the place.
The strikers express the belief that
one of the mines to be operated by the
mineowners in their effort to break the
strike will be the Plum Greek mine, and
that the miners now at work at Oak
Hill and Sandy Greek will be taken to
Plum Greek and the other two mines
closed down. To offset this move the
strikers will go to camp at Plum Greek.
Everything was quiet about Plum
Creek this morning. The strikers fol-
lowed out the program outlined by Cap
tain Bellingham, and sent men singly
and in pairs to patrol the roads. The
deputies did not interfere with them.

AN AMlCABLE ADJUSTMENT
Of the difference Between Japan and Hawaii
 Is Now Assured.

Washington, Nov 25.-Hawaiian Mn ister Francis M. Hatch, who has just arrived in the city on his return from Honolulu, expressed the opinion today that the trouble between Japan and Hawaii had been smoothed out and can be settled now without difficulty or Ir- rdtation The Japanese government seems, he satd. to- be disposed to have -the matter settled tin as amicable spirit as possible. He added:
 'It is entirely satisfactory to Hawaii, I should judge to have the matter of alleged claim for damages stated definitely. It fixes the limit of the claim, if any damages are to be allowed. Be- fore the claim might have been $2 or $2,00000O. The agreement places the matter in a more tangible shape, and I think the disposition on both sides is to treat the matter I'm an entirely amicable spirit"
 The amount of damages done to Japan does not exceed $200000.
