MONTGOMERY MONUMENT.
Movement to Erect One on Canadian
Soil

Quebec. Aug. 31.-The work of the ar
bitratiOn commission is evidently in
creasing. Each day more time is devO-
ted to the sessions, and the American
commissioners have cancelled all en-
gagementS and are holding sessions by
lamplight What they are discussing
or what was discussed at their long
joint session is not known. A mum Der
of gentlemen from various parts of the
United States are expected here, but
the commissioners will not disclose
what interests they will represent A
matter which was not mentioned in the
general protocol will probably soon be
brought to the attention of the Ameri-
can commissioners. They will be asked
to consider the question of a monument
for General Montgomery, who was kill
ed here while leading a detachment of
American troops in 1775. A small tab
let in the rock by the roadside bearing
the words: Here fell Montgomery, :"
is all that has ever marked the spot
where he met his death.
Several times during the past half
century efforts have been made by diff
ferent Americans and American socie-
ties to have something done in the way
of erecting a suitable memorial to the
memory of the American. These efforts
have failed. The Canadians have al
ways contended that it was not exact
ly the proper thing to erect on ''the sa-
cred soil of Quebeck," a monument to
the leader of an invading army. Only
a few years since the society of the
Sons of the Revolution asked permits
sion to erect the monument here but
failed Now a great grand nephew of
MONTGOMERY, DR.. IistOn Montgomery
of Chicago, has undertaken the patriotic
task and will appeal to the American
commissioners to improve this oppor-
tunity for properly honOring the mem
DRY of his illustrious ancestor
DR.. Montgomery's letter, it is under
stood, is now in the hands of the COM
mission.

ermen, have applied for a hearing be-

FEW ARE CHOSEN.
But a Small Percentage of the
Passengers
Returning From the KlOndike
on the Roanoke.
BROUGHT MUCH GOLD.
Two Lucky Indians Have $780,
900 Each.
DiscOVerer of Diggings Has a
Similar Amount.
BROUGHT MUCH GOLD

Seattle, Wn., Aug. 31.-Steamer Roam
oke which has arrived here from St.
Michael, Alaska, brought 459 passen-
gers and gold dust which conservative
estimate places at one million and
half dollars. The bulk of it was the
property of the Canadian Bank of Com
merce and the North American Trading
and Transportation company.
The amount consigned to the Cana
dian Bank of Commerce is $500. 900. A
majority of the passengers were men
who went to Dawson in last years
rush. They have no gold, but lots of
experience. The fortunate passengers
numbered about rs. OF these probably
25 had over $4,000 each. The amounts
held by the remaining so range from
$500 to $1,000. The following is a list of
the richest ones, and the amount they
brought back:
w. NJ. Jennings, $50, 900.
George Carmack, $35, 900.
Tagish Charley, $35, 900.
H. Doane, $4,000.
TheO. Anderson, $780, 900.
Stick Jim, $35, 900.
Ike Powers, $15 900.
F. Renaud, SIS, 900.
These men were among the first who
went into the KlOndike. George Car
mack was the discoVerer of the Klon-
dixie. He located the first claim on Bo-
nanZa creek. Stick Jim and Tagish
Charley are full bloOded Indians.
An unusual incident attending the ar
rival of the Roanoke was the holding
and searching of her passengers and
the baggage for three sacks of stolen
gold dust. Each individual passenger
was examined as he came off the
steamer, but the missing gold was not
found The bags contained about $24-
600. The owners of the stolen gold were
Albert Fox, whose sack contained S14-
900; William FOlmer, $4,000, and Dr. c.
F. Adams, of Chicago, 5000. The gold
was taken from a state room on the
Roanoke while she was lying at ST.
Michael There is no clue to the thief
A search of the vessel was made at ST
Michael before she left but with no
better success than was achieved today
Another robbery is reported to have
occurred on the river steamer Cudahy
between Dawson and st. Michael. Some
one got hold of a sack belonging to
''Stick jim" an Indian, containing $780,
They dumped out the gold and filled the
sack with shot. The substitute was not
discovered until st. Michael was reach
ed. Among the Roanoke's passengers
were DR.. Sheldon Jackson, United States
commissioner of education for Alaska
and p. 3. Weare, of Chicago, general
manager of the North American Trad
ing and Transportation company. Con-
ditiOns at ST. Michael and Dawson have
undergone no material change since
last reports. People are arriving daily
at St. Michael from up the river in
small boats
The steamer Noyo, which left st. Mi
chael two days before the Roanoke, re-
neVed the congestion of stranded min
ers by taking away about 100 of them.

Considering the Nicaragua
Canal Situation.
NO DEATH PENALTY,

Managua, Nicaragua, Aug. 31-The
convention assembled at Managua to
form a constitution for a confederacy
to consist of the states of Salvador,
Honduras and Nicaragua, has agreed
upon AZ of the 149 articles.
It has been agreed that the name of
the confederacy shall be 1.-The United
States of Central America The de-
cisiOns arrived at are as to what the
people and the states shall not do, not
what the people have conceded to the
government of the United States of
Central America. They declare that
there shall be no death penalty enforced
by any state and that no state shall
cede any of its territory. They bride
the liberty of the press and of public
declarations of opinions adverse to
the government.
The work will not be completed until
about November l.
The diet of the Greater Republic of
Central America has asked the govern
ment or Nicaragua for all the dOcu-
ments in its archives relating to the
construction of an inter-Oceanic canal
across Nicaragua for the purpose, as

per, says, of ''inves tigating the reasons
why the United States of North Amer
lea appear to have decided to construct

The Nicaraguan government recently
imprisoned several persons from Leon
and Granada suspected of opposing the
government. The authorities appear to
be in constant apprehension of revOlu-
lions. Only a few days ago, according
to Ell Liberal, several young men from
this city were called before the inQuisi-
ton on suspicion of plotting a reVOlu-
ton, and some of them were sentenced
to the penitentiary. Many of the prin-
cipal importers in western Nicaragua,
native and foreign, have called on the
government during the last ten days,
and urged it not to advance the duties
on imports, which it had contemplated
doing, 100 per cent on the present very
high rates. of which an advance of %
per cent is to be paid in gold. The
importers do not know where the gold
is to come from, in view of the fact that
a very large percentage of the growing
crop of coffee, the only important eX-
port from Nicaragua, excepting dry
hides and India rubber is pledged to
foreigners residing in other countries,
who have advanced the money neces-
sary to enable the planters to cultivate
the coffee shrubs through the six years
of their growth from the nursery to the
bearing state.

BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
Gov. Black Reports on Conditions at
Chickamauga.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. Slower
nor Black was seen today by an Assoc
clated Press reporter and was asked as
to the conditions as he found them in
the camps of the New York regiments,
as well as those at division hospitals.
Governor Black said that there ap-
peared to be a perfect hydrOphObia
among the newspapers over the condi-
ton of the soldiers; that the press bris-
tied with such phrases as "hOllow-eyed'
and starving in articles descriptive of
the troops. He gave it as his opinion
that the matter was exaggerated, man
ufactured in newspaper Offices, and the
outcome and result of journalistic
knavery."
MY impression" said Governor
Black, "Of the camp of the New York
troops at Chickamauga Park, is not
half as bad as had expected it would
be. The unfaVOrable condition of the
camp and hospitals has, beyOund doubt
been very greatly exaggerated by the
press
The division hospital in which the
sick soldiers of the Ninth New York in
fantry are Quartered is certainly in a
very bad condition. The present state
of this hospital ought never to have
been permitted to exist, and should be
corrected at once.
81 think that the troops at Chicka-
manga Park should have been moved
long before any sickness broke out in
the ranks
1.-The Sternburg hospital is in excel
lent condition. I do not see that it
could be made any better 1t is ad-
mirable, both in plan and management
The hospitals of the Eighth and Four
teenth New York regiments are much
better in every particular than the one
in which the sick of the Ninth New
York infantry are Quartered.''
The case of Private Mum of the am
bulance company, who was transferred
from the Ninth New York, was report
ed to the governor by Captain O'Connor
of company A, Ninth New York, and
fn "a oh
ingtOn for investigation. Capt O'Con-
nor's statement was that he had found
the body of Num- lying naked in a di-
vision hospital two days after DEATH
infested by maggots; that an autopsy
had been held, and that no preparation
had been made for the care or inter-
ment of the body up to the time it was
found by O'Connor The affair has Gre
ated a great stir and it will result in
the trial of Captain O'Connor by court
martial.
