FOUND A NEW ROUTE.
Success of the Canadian Surveying
Party Sent Out to the Yukon's
HeadWaters,

JUNEAU, ALASKA, Sept. l tby steam
ship Queen, via Victoria, B. c., Sept. A.
The Canadian surveying party sent out
by the Dominion Government to find a
route practicable for a rail and wagon
road to The headwaiers of the Yukon
River, slipped quietly into town last night
at midnight. The official party went in
by the Chilcoot Pass and Dalton trail last
June, and returned substantially by the
same route, making several detours on
the way back to explore the surrounding
country. 1t is composed of J. J. Arthur,
Dominion Land Surveyor, and Surveyors
Riley. Haldane and Cooper. The explor-
ing trip has led to important results.
A new, comparatively easy and shorter
trail to the Yukon, suitable for cattle,
wagon or railroad. was discovered. 1t also
opens mp a new mail route 10 Fort Sell
kirk, Dawson City and the other towns OF
the Yukon. The official party was accom-
panied by Mr.. Battlehouser, an agent of
the London Exploration Company, who is
grabbing gold mines wherever they break
out, Judge Maloney of Juneau, and was
followed by about seventy head OF cattle,
with drivers

well property opposite Juneau, the largest
gold mine in the world. 1t is fact that
Barney Barnato also held a large block of
Treadwell stock. The entire party was
piloted by that veteran pathfinder, Jack
Dalton, who ACCOMPANIED Lieutenant
Schwatka on his several noted Alaska ex-
ploration trips and on Schwatka' S reported
ascent of the summit of Mount ST. Elias.
Dalton has let the cat out of the bag
since Schwatka has been long away. He
has told that Schwatka never conquered
the summit OF ST. Elias or portion OF 1t
at all, but that they lay on their stomachs
and looked at the mountain with glasses
through sixty miles of atmosphere.
From the extreme left OF the Chilcoot
Pass the party headed northwest for a
point about 100 miles inland, where Dali
ton and Others have trading post.
Thence they took course north to a
chain OF small layes called Hoo,chie Ere.
30 lar the course was over what is known
as the Dslton trail which from the
Hoolchie Eye continues on down the
Nordenskioid River sixty miles TO the
Lewis River. But from the Hootchie Eye

CHANDLER REPLIES TO FRYE.
Justifes His Assertion That the Dis
eliminating Clause Was Trick
of ieqfsIation.

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 4.-Senato
Chandler of New Hamp pshire, who started
a di. cussion by stating that the discriml-
mating clause in section % of the Dingley
tariff bill was passed by trick of legis-
lation," in the Herald to-day replies to
Senator Frye. who few days ago declared
that he could not tell how the amendment
was passed.
Senator FRYE is a good and conclusive
witness that what l say Is trne," says
Senator Chandler. II quote Senator
Frye's own words, How this amendment
to section % was secured know not
Senator Frye seems to mean that he
did not know until after the conference
report was adopted on July "a that the
rick clause was in it. Ii this is what be
does mean then he certainly was tricked,
beca use his relation to the whole subject
as chairman of the Com mittee on Com
merce made it inn possible for him not to
know that it was done unless it was done
surreptitiousiy to him and to all the mem
bers of the committee except the few con-
Lrivers Of the trick.
"If. on tie other hand, Senator Frye
did know before July "a that the thing
was done, but did not know how it was
done, after he haQ failed III his open ptdn
/ omitted for the whole week of debate
over the conference report in the Senate
to tell his New England constituents hat
the conterees had struck this blow TO New
ENGLAND interests.
LAS Senator Frye says, the conferees
are all honorable men. OF course, they
had the necessary explanatory statement
written, and it was left by the blunder OF
a clerk That is always the safest ground
to take i'll such cases.
"Bu: whether legislation thus OBJ
tanned will stay even nominaly upon the
statute books is doubtful. Moreover,
whether the Attorney General will find
tha. the trick of legislation must be en-
forced until repealed is not yet settled.
ut should not take him fifteen minutes
to hold that the contiguous country
clause applies only where there is nc
treaty allowing goods to come in without
extra duties from ships entering our ports
| while, if conventions are necessary to
avoid the other part of the trick, it should
not take Secretary Sherman fifteen min
| utes to make them with England, France
and Germany, and the collection of dis
eliminating duties should await the delib
crate action of Congress"

FRARFUL SHIP FIRE.
Thirteen Persons Burned to
Death on the Leona,
Bound For Galveston.

New York, May 9.-The Nal
lory line steamer Leona, which
left her pier on Saturday bound
for Galveston, caught fire a,
sea, put back and arrived in
port tonight with sixteen corps
les on board. The dead were
thirteen steerage passengers
and three mem bers Of the crew
who succumbed to terrible
| fire which occurred of the Della
ware eapes at an early hour
this morning. The horror of
the story can hardly be told
tonight. Those who are dead
were penned up below decks.
and although frantic efforts
were made by the officers OF
Of the vessel to save them, the
fire had gained such terrific
Roadway before the danger was
discovered that all escape was
cut off.
The steamer carried in her
cargo many bales of cot
ton bagging. 1t is mol,
known how the fire origaited,
but when it was discovered it
burst forth with such fury that
it was impossible to reach the
steerage. Even the then steer
age gassagers were apparently
unmIndful of the danger,
else the smoke and flames
had not reached them
TIE saloon passengers were
first aroused aud In such a
manner as to occasion little
alarm. When il became ap
parent that the fire had cut off
the steerage the captain and
his men poured great quantities
of water down the ventiIators
and the most frantic efforts were
made for the escape of those
penned up In this way eight
of the steerage passengers es
capped.
Following is a list of the
dead passengers:
r. Cataine, Mrs. c. Guzza.
Miss Guzza, Marie Mades ,Sophy
Schwartz, Mrs Hanna Soc. m IN
son, Bridget Sullivan, Miss Val
click, daughter OF j. Valicick,
two unknown Children.
Their yes, destinations aud
hsmes could not be ascertaiDed
The papers were locked in the
safe.
Three of the crew persisted:
Il. Hartman, q years old. a
butcher. Albert Harry, Az
years old, steward, Alfred
Long, 10 years old.
These three men belonged in
this city.
The bodies were all found
forward below deck, some lying
in hunks and some prostrated
on the deck near the stairs, as
if overcome while in the effort
to escape.
All the bodies were burned
beyond recognition.
