Fool Organized to Control the Min
ing Interests in the New Field
Syndicate VIII Work Claims for
Poor Miners Unable to Operate on
Their Own Account.
SKAGUAY, Feb. Is (via Seattle, Feb.
19.-James E. Scoville, of Syracuse, N
Y, arrived here yesterday from Daw-
son, Which place he left on Jan. 10. Mr.
Scoville is the contractor for the Yu-
kon Telegraph and Telephone syndl-
cate, which has recently been incor-
porated to construct and maintain tele-
graph and telephone lines in the Klon-
dixie region.
Mr.. Scoville brings an important piece
OF news which will have a decided
bearing on the future output of Klon-
dixie gold. 1t is the formation of
gigantic pool or combination, to be
known as the Bonanza Eldorado COM
pany, capitalized at 5000, 100000, which
proposes to control mining operations
in the Klondike country.
Mr.. Scoville says it will revolutionize
the method of mining. Hydraulic min
ing will be substituted for the present
expensive system and the miner who
is unable to work his claim success
fully will be given an opportunity to
sell it to the trust or syndicate, who
will work it for him at a rate much
cheaper than he could do it himself.
The formation of the syndicate, MI
ScoVille says, will have the effect Of
reducing the output next spring quite
materially.
The steamer Elder arrived Saturday
afternoon with the advance guard Of
the government relief expedition. To-
day the detachment and supplies were
landed at Dyea, where they will be
held until the arrival of Brig. Gen.
Merriam.
1t cannot be ascertained here how
many passengers were on the steamer
Clara Nevada, which was lost in Ber-
ners bay with all on board. One es-
innate places the number that en-
barked here at thirty-fye.
The whar1ng engineer at Skaguay
dock says she did not carry more than
eight or ten from this port Those
known to have sailed from here were:
j. Selong, formerly Of New York city;
F. Bennicke, of juneau; Al Noyes, of
Juneau; Frank Whitney, of Cripple
Creek, Col; A. Noois. of Dyea, and a
man named Ross and his wife.
1t is reported here that the Clara
Nevada carried a large amount of dy-
Mantle for the Treadwell mine at
Douglass island, and that the explo-
sion Of this caused the disaster.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19-The Cudahy-
Healy Yukon Mining company has gone

The mining interests in the Klondike
and elsewhere in Alaska, originally
owned by the North American Trans
portation & Trading company, have
been absorbed by that company again.
Henceforth the. Weares, Cudahys and
Healys will center their interest and
attention in the old company, which
will now include mining along with
transportation and trading.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-After four
days of consideration, the house today
passed the bankruptcy bill, reported by
the mouse committee on judiciary as
substitute for the Nelson bill pass
ed by the senate at the extra session
last summer. The bill is known as the
Henderson bill and contains both
voluntary and involuntary features. 1t
is considered less drastic than the
measure passed by the last house by q
vote of 157 to 81. The Involuntary
feature, however, had but sixteen ma
jority.
Today a motion to strike out the in
voluntary features was defeated by
majority Of nineteen and the bill was
passed by majority of thirtythree.
The vote standing ayes, 1853; nays, 125.
Eighteen Republicans voted against
the bill and twelve Democrats for it.
The Populists, with one exception, vot-
ed against it.
Today the bill was read for amend
ment under the five-minute rule In
der the order made. the final vote was
to be taken at o'clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic leader,
sought to secure an arrangement by
which the house could have an oppor-
tunity to vote on the senate CNelson)
bill before voting on the house sub
stitute, but he failed. An arrangement
was effected, however, by which the
first vote, taken al 4 o'clock, should be
on Mr.. Underwood's series of amend
ments to strike out the involuntary
feature of the substitute.
During the consideration of a motion
to strike out the section defining the
terms used in the bill, one OF which de-
fined an 'insolvent' as one whose prop
erty at fair valuation was not Suff1-
cient to pay his debts, Mr.. Bland Dem.,
Mo- stated that the effect of this pro-
vision Of the bill would be to declare
over one-half of the business men of
the country bankrupts.
Lacey Opposed.
Mr. Lacey Rep., Io.) said he could
not give his support to the involuntary
features of any bankruptcy law.
democratic applause)
The debate on this amendment pro-
ceeded in a desultory manner.
Mr.. Bailey Oem., Tex got the floor
upon another important amendment,
and submitted briefly some observa-
lions defining his position. He was as
anxious, he said, as any member of
the house to see an equitable bankrupt
cy law placed upon the statute books.
But his anxiety would not lead him to
vote for q measure which would injure
the solvent more than 1t would benefit
the insolvent.
Mr.. Cannon Rep., Ill) created some
enthusiasm on the Democratic side by
announcing that he would refuse to
support the bill.
Mr.. Mahany Rep., N. " offered an
amendment limiting the operation of
the act to two years from the date Of
it's passage. Mr. Mahany said he would
be glad to vote for the bill, if this
amendment were adopted, but he was
opposed to putting in operation indefi-
nitely a law of this character.
The vote on the motion was taken by
tellerS and the announcement that it
had carried-132 to 129-Was greeted
with loud applause.
Mr.. Henderson Immediately moved to
reconsider the vote, and MIR. Bailey
moved to lay that motion on the ia
BILE.
The motion to lay on the table Mr.
Henderson's motion to reconsider was

Parliamentary Point.

When this vote was announced the
hour set for vote a o'clock had pass
ed. The motion to reconsider was put
and carried without division, and the
vote was about to be taken again upon
the Mahany amendment, when Mr..
Dalzell made the point Of order that
the order under which the house was
operating precluded any further action
except upon the Underwood amend
ments which, under the arrangement,
were to be voted upon at o'clock.
This point of order the speaker sus-
tanned. An interesting parliamentary
struggle followed, in which Mr.. Bailey.
Mr. Williams Oem., Mass.) and the
speaker took part, which finally re-
suited in the speaker deciding that
the house had reconsidered it's action
In regard to the Mahany amendment,
and a vote upon it was now excluded
by the order.
The Underwood amendments, which
struck out the involuntary features of
the BILL were then presented and yot
ed upon under the order Of the house.
The amendments were defeated, 1879
to 1853.
The vote then came upon substitute
ing the Henderson bill for the senate
Cor Nelson) BILL and the motion pre-
vailed, 1873 to ia.
Mr.. Terry Oem., Ark), the senior
member Of the judiciary committee,
then moved to recommit the bill with
instructions to strike out all the in
voluntary features, except those for &C
tual frauds. The motion to recommit
was lost.
Mr.. Terry insisted upon an aye and
nay vote for the final passage of the
bill. The bill was passed, 1859 to 1876.

THE proposition that has been fire.
quently brought forward to utilize
the labor OF county and city convicts
in improving our streets and roads
has many things In its favor to COM
mend it. The conditions that obtain
here are very different from those that
prevail in the east and south. In those
localities, while work is not scarce, la
borers are disproportionately numer-
ous-so numerous tina. the proportion
OF men demanding work, even the
work OF the common laborer, is far
larger than il should be. In this To-
cality, on the contrary, it is apparent

the necessary drudgery work ut any
thing like fair price. In other words,
it seems that the supply of available
unskilled iaborers in less than the de-
mand. This being the case, it does not
look as 10 it would work any hardship
upon the laboring classes If convicts
were given q portion of the work to
do. In older sections, as we have
said, the convict labor comes into di-
rect competition with the "honest" la
Dor. Here 1t might result in the same
way; we do not believe il would. The
