GOLD IN chicken CREEK
The Tide of Klondike Travel Is
Now Turning Back.
GROUND ALL TAKEN UP
There Is Plenty of Gold-Bearing Terri
tory on American Soil and Thither
the Seekers Are vending
Their Way.

San Francisco, Feb. 21.-Stewart
Menzies, an agent of the Alaska Com
mercial company. who has just re-
turned from the Klondike region, start
ing from Dawson City on Jan. 20, and
from Skaguay on Feb. 10, reports that
the tide of gold hunters who flocked
into Canadian territory when the news
of the rich strikes in the K1ondike re-
gion was first announced, is now turn
ing. and those who abandoned their
claims on American and Chicken creeks
are now returning there, accompanied
by many others who have been unable
to locate claims on Canadian soil. Men
Zies says that just before he came out
claims on Davis, Chicken, Napoleon
and Walkers Fort creeks, which are
tributary to Forty Mile creek, showed
better results than before the rush to
the Klondike, especially those on
Chicken creek, which are from eight
to II feet deep, averaging 50 to the
pan. On American creek. which is a
branch of the Yukon river, the claims
are very shallow, running from SO to
Sc per pan at a depth of from three to
four feet. He also says that rich
strikes have been made on Birch and
Minook creeks near Circle City, and on
the Miller and Glacier creeks, which
are tributary to Sixty Mile creek.
Menzies predicts that the majority
of those miners now on the Canadian
side will cross the boundary in the
near future, as it is almost impossible
for one-fifth of those already in the
klondike to locate claims, and they
will be compelled to spread out over
territory which, while not so rich as the
klOndike, promises better returns than
was formerly expected.

CANADA is ANGRY.
Lewis Returns From ottawa without Sc
curing Any Concessions.

Washington, Feb. 21-Representative
Lewis of Washington, who has just
returned from Ottawa. where he went
to appeal to the Canadian government
for some notifications of the Canadian
regulations requiring American miners
bound for the Klondike TO procure their
licenses at Vancouver, Victoria or Daw-
SOM City, says he found a feeling of
intense hostility toward the United
States, especially on account of the
PayneFrye bill, which is designed to
prevent British vessels from sharing in
the Alaskan carrying trade. There
was no disposition to concede anything
TO the United States in the controversy.
and Mr.. Lewis returned convinced that
no concession would be obtained, unless
we made counter concessions. Mr..
Lewis went TO Canada armed with let
ters of Introduction from Assistant
Secretary Day and other officials, i'm
Guiding a letter from Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador here.
Though he was shown every courtesy,
Mr.. Lewis said feeling against the
United States was rampant. The dele
cations from British Columbia all pro-
tested against any modification of the
regulation.
Mr.. Lewis sought to have the regula-
ton modified so that a license could be
isused by British consuls or vice con-
suls at American ports, and, this being
rejected, he then sought to have the
Canadian police. especially at Lake
Tagish. have authority to issue licenses
to ingoing miners. Both requests were
refused.
Minister Sfton. however, finally pro-
posed a counter proposition on a ba-
sis of adjustment namely to permit
Canadian goods to go through Wrangel
at the head of the White Pass in bond.
AS Mr.. Lewis was without any actual
authority to negotiate on any basis in
volving a modification of our laws or
regulations he suggested that Minister
Sifton submit this proposition in writ
ing to Secretary of the Treasury Gage,
and it is understood this will be done.
Mr.. Lewis expects to see Secretary
Gage tomorrow about this matter.

NEW HOME RULE. BILL
1t Meets With the Approval of
Many Irish Leaders.
IT'S BALF0UR'S SCHEME
Healey and Davitt Threaten Opposition
to Some Features. but in General
the Measure Receives Warm
Appreciation.

London, Feb. 2fr-The house of COM
mons was crowded to-day when the
chief secretary for Ireland, Gerald Bal
four. introduced the Irish local govern
ment bill In so doing Balfour said lie
thought 1t possible the new order of
things would at first seem failure,
but he believed it would work through
a failure to Il success. which would be
the beginning of better and brighter
days for ireland. The government, Mr..
Balfour continued. proposed that the
local administration be distributed be-
tween county councils, urban and rural
district councils and boards of election,
the election of which would be by parl1a- :
mentary franchise, with the addition OF
peers and women.
The qualifications and disqualified
lions for the election of the councillors
would be the same as in England, ex-
cept that the ministers of that region
would be disqualified from sitting in
the county or district council, the gov
eminent acting therein In accordance
with precedents.
For the sake of convenience, Mr..
Balfour further explained, the bounda-
ries of the existing unions and also of
the counties, would be modified and the
county councils would take over the
duties of grand juries, but only in ifs
cal matters, and would not include
criminal JufiSulctlOU OF QueSllOHS OL
compensation for malicious injuries.
Urish .'Ohs!') The elections for county
and for county and district councils
would be triennial, and all would retire
together The county councils would
be the sole rate collecting authority,
and would control the expenditures.
They would also be responsible for
dealings with exceptional distresses,
would decide when the requests of
boards of guardians for outdoor relief
should be granted. Dublin, Belfast,
Cork, Limerick, Londonderry and
Waterford would be constituted indie
pendent county councils. The county
would be responsible for half the extra
expenditures.
! Mr.. Baifour said he thought the bill
was based upon broad, democratic
! lines
John Morley, chief secretary for Ire
land in the late liberal administration,
WELCOMED the bill as being "a genuine
! democratic effort"
| Mr.. Dillon, chairman of the Irish
! parliamentary party, said he thought
| the measure was an immense advance
| over the bill of 1892 and fulfilled the
I promise of the government.
John Redmond the Parnellite leader,
also welcomed the bill. He criticised
some points of the measure.
Timothy Healy. Irish nationalist,
praised the bill, and Michael Davitt
Irish nationalist. threatened opposition
to that part of the bill providing relief
to the landlords in the shape of an ag-
ricultural grant. The bill eventually
passed it's first reading.
