NO KLONDIKE EXPEDITION.
The Government Said to Have Beer
Badly SwindIed.

The announcement is not made publicly:
as yet, but privately it is said at the War
Department that the Government has
been swindled in the matter of the pro-
posed Klondke relief expedition. The ex-
pedition has been abandoned by the Gov
rnment.
Secretary Alger has written letter to
Senator Hawley, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs, stating
that he considers the expedition unnec-
essary He asks that Congress take ac-
ton by joint resolution authorizing the
department to dispose of the supplies
purchased for the expedition, including
the reindeer which have just arrived from
Norway, and to abandon the project en-
tirely.
Secretary Alger states in his letter that
provisions are being carried into the Klon-
dixie region by the large numbers of pros
pectors, and that there viii be no suffer
ing for want of food.
Gen. Alger makes no reference to the
fact now said to be proven and under
stood by the department fully that there
never has been any reason for the expe-
dition from the first. 1t is stated positive
ly by one in authority that the conditions
existing in the KIondike region this win
ter have been wholly misrepresented. and
that there has been a systematic robbery
of the Government. The appropriation
that was expected, and that was made foi
the relief that was not needed caused the
clamor almost wholly, it is said. The
people who made the clamor intended tC
come in for a large share of the quarter
of a million dollars.
