Avalanche ON THE pass
DEAD UNDER MOUNTAIN SNOW.
Two Hundred People Overtnken by
slide on the Trnil-Hundreds of
Men at Work i'm Relays shovelinG
Away the Debris I'm search of the
Dead and the Dying.

Skaguay, Alaska, April (via Seattle,
April 9).-At about noon today on the
Chilkoot trail between The Scales and
Stone House at least 100 men met death,
and large number of others were in
iured more or less seriously, in a snow
slide. The dead were crushed under an
avalanche of snow and ice, which came
down from the mountain side upon the
left hand side of the trail about midway
between The Scales and Stone House
Sixty-nine dead bodies have been thus
ing ones have been reported as unaccount-
ed for. 1t is barely possible that some of
these had succeeded in crossing the pass
before the avalanche occurred. A con-
sentative estimate is that between
IS and 100 persons were killed. The
point at which the accident occurred
is some five miles above Sheep Camp. The
nearest telephone station is four miles dis
tant. The Scales is some five miles above
Sheep Camp. The telephone wires at this
point were carried away by the slide. This
fact makes it difficult to obtain further
particulars at this time A binding snow
storm was raging all day upon the sum-
NIT, and as consequence many of those
in the vicinity were making no attempt
to travel. Zebarth, Sprague and Steven
son of Seattle were travelling together as
partners and were found side by side in
bed.
Thousands of people were encamped in
the vicinity of the accident at the time
and were soon upon the scene rendering
such assistance as was possible. Upon re-
ceipt of the news, points below Dyea tele-
phoned up to know if assistance was re-
quired and received answer to the effect
that 5000 people were at work upon the
debris and were only in each others way.
All day Saturday and Sunday a south
erly storm with chinook wind, rain and
snow prevailed in the vicinity, and it is
believed the softening of the snow on the
mountain side by those agencies was the
cause of the avalanche. The quantity of
snow and ice that came down in the slide
is estimated at thousands of tons. 1t
swept directly across the trail, which, not
withstanding the fact that the weather
was unsuitable for travel, was thronged
with wayfarers. The last vestige of the
trail in the vicinity was wiped out of ex-
istence. and where it leads is now a noun
tain of snow and ice. under which are
many dead bodies that can not be recov-
cred for days to come.
Two or three thousand men are work
ing in relays of as many as can stand side
by side, shoveling away the debris in
search of the dead and dying. Twenty
two dead bodies have been recovered and
identified and 25 have been taken out
alive.

New York, April lO.-Rev. George c.
Carter of the Protestant Episcopal Church
of the Redeemer in Brooklyn, will use for
the first time today golden chalice and a
communion service of solid silver. The
gold and silver have been furnished by the
members of his congregation. Some time
ago the rector suggested that a commu-
Mon service could be obtained if the mem
bers of the church contributed small
pieces of iewelry. The suggestion was i'm
mediately acted upon, and from the gold
en- rings, bangles and eardrops, silver trim
kets and other articles of jewelry a mag
nifcent chalice and communion service
were made.

QUIETER DEMAND FOR STAPLES
Bradstreet Reports Trade u Little
Dull East.

New York. April 9.-Bradstreet's says:
4 sensible quieting of demand for STAPLE
goods is perceptible in the various detail
ed trade reports coming to hand this week.
At the outset matters affecting foreign
relations has been such as to discourage
new business, but this tendency has been
considerably accentuated by untimely cold
weather, which has checked the usual
Easter demand to a considerable extent.
Reports from the west are that the heavy
rush of spring business is about over and
that orders coming in now are filling in
character Here again reports of unsea-
sonable weather are met with. \ fairly
good business is reported, growing out of
the raising of insurance rates consequent
on the disturbed foreign outlook. Frost
is reported to have done considerable dam
age to the peach and other fruit crops of
the south and to early planted tobacco.
A fairly satisfactory trade is represented
at the northwest. Lake Navigation is now
open, and anticipation is that a prosper
Gus years business will be done.
Wheat shipments Including flour this
week are slightly larger than those of last
T week and considerably in excess of last
year, aggregating 3,773,726 bushels for
that period. against 3,55O,664 bushels last
week, 100000 bushels in the week year
lgo, 1854 600 bushels in 1896, and 2,934,-
600 bushels in 1895.
Business failures in the United States
this week number 300, against 226 last
week 232 in the corresponding week of
1897, 23O in 1896, and 225 in 1895. Bust
ness failures this week in the Dominion of
Canada number 49, against 80 last week.

BLOWS IN THE SYNDICATE WAR.

FISkE AND a. L. ERLAN0En.
The quarrel that has been going for months

day afternoon. Readers OF the newspapers do not
need TO be told how Mr.. Fiske has attacked the
methods OF the syndicate In his paper. and IN
supplement which he issued for the express pur-
pose. Neither do they need TO he told how tho
syndicate secured the Of Mr. Fiske on .

after hearing the case. refused to hold him. But
perhaps the whole public does not know that the
real fighting member OF the syndicate Is A. L. Err

does the booking part Of the business.
Mr.. Fiske and Mr. Eranger met yesterday IN
Broadway. not far from the corner Of Forty first

exactly what said and what done first.
But there least blow struck each
