along the hsadwsters OF the Big Salmon
and Hoosalinaua rivers. has Just reached
Seattle from that section. He came cut
via Lake Tsslin. Telegraph creek and the
STickeen, and brings the latest news from
that country. as weiI as the story OF the
successful trip into the interior Of = large
party via the Taku river route. Mr.. Par
ker said yesterday 10 Pos;-Inselligencer
reporter.
'-One hundred men were encsmped on
Lake Teslin when I came through. about
fifty Of whom were at the government
townsite. az the upper ead OF the lake.
They had wintered At Telegraph creek.
None OF those who had started UP the
river over the Ice had reached the lake up
70 the time left. They were hus:iy en-
gagged building boats out Of lumber cut
by a small sawmih. Lumber was selling
for $50 thousand. and slabs for s75.
There seemed 20 be plenty OF fine spruce
timber at the south end OF the lake. Some

visions were scarce, and sold readily al

for some nails | had with me. Wages
were only S. per day and the men had 10
board themselves. Unless men had n good
stock OF provisions they were not given
employment.
II heard that rich gold strike had been
made on the south shore Of Lake Teshn
just before leaving the TOWNSHIP. I did not
learn the details of the find, and had not
time 10 go and investigate II. A number
OF men had been prospecting and there
is q great likelihood that something good
was found.
"A description of the trail from Teslln
10 Telegraph creek is difficult. as no trail
exists. save from Telegraph creek 10 the
Hudson Bay post, about forty-five miles.
Leaving Teslin. the summer trail for
some ten or twelve miles is mostly over
solid ground. Thence IL follows the wide
valley Of the Mainline river. The country
is level. but low and swampy. Thousands
of acres are flooded by enormous beaver
dams which are. followed By the trail
wherever IL is practicable. Here there
are hundreds of beautiful little lakes. COW
cred al this season OF the year with water
fowl. In winter this irregular chain OF
lakes affords good sleighing. but In sum
mer the low. swampy ground will need
an enormous amount OF corduroy before
II can be used for pack trail. The feed
along the trail is excellent but X will be
impossible TO get a pack horse In before
July l. Tents and outfits are strung along
from forty miles this side Of the lake to
Telegraph creek. There are also many
parties camped on the Stickeen. All these
outfits, left by the vanishing snow, can be
gotten over by the pack trains later In
the year. Packing over the trail now
costs from 10 to 50 cents per pound.

FROM my late experience Win the
Stckeen route / do not consider II the
best for the poor man. bound either for
Lake Tesiin or Dawson. For Dawson the
passes or the ail-water route are much
more practical. and IL bound for Lake
Teslin, the Taku inlet route presents the
much easier solution of the problem
have travelled over the Taku route for the
last four years and went In that way on
this trip.
In company with A. K. johnson. / start
Ell from Juneau about the middle OF
March We made the head OF The Taku
inlet in our sealing boat In days time.
On the Taku river we found the Ice In
excellent condition. and made good time
with our sieds. We had some eighty hun
bred pounds OF supplies, and did not have
Il single dog. In spite Of these facts we
made the Journey OF 1i5 miles IN twenty
days. About one hundred men whom We
found at the head OF the inlet followed
up in 10 Lake TeslIn We had 10 break
trail for the entire party.
'sThe Taku route Is much shorter than
the Telegraph Stickeen route. while II has
less steep pitches than the other and IL
also free from swampy ground IL would
be an easy matter 10 construct a railroad
from the head OF the Inlet TO Lake Teslin-

NO OUTRAGES In PORTO RICO
United States Volunteers Not Guilty OF
Ruflanism and Thievery.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Some of the
newspapers published in Porto Rico have
been publishing articles bitterly criticising
the conduct of the United States soldiers
who have been sent to the island as per-
manent garrison. The soldiers have been
accused of all sorts of misdemeanors, of
ruffianism. of petty larceny. of the destruc-
ton of private property, and. in fact, of
every kind of excess which might be
charged against green troops in a foreign
country. The charges reflected particularly
on the volunteer regiments, and were so
general and earnest that Secretary Alger
felt called upon to take formal notice of
them. 1t was evident that if they were well
founded the Porto Ricans were likely to
be alienated from their new allegiance al
most before they had become fairly at
tached. So a cablegram was sent to Major
General Brooke. commanding all of the
United States troops in Porto Rico, calling
his attention to these reports. The answer
came this morning in the shape of the fol-
lowing cablegram from General Brooke,
dated San Juan, Nov. 2:
Bad behavior of our soldiers lin Ponce
province is news to me. Colonel Castleman,
commanding the provisional brigade there,
is now with me, and says report is entirely
unfounded. New regiments coming in were
unsettled for a few days, but are all away
from there now and at their regular sta
tons"

has a twin sister, Mrs. Casey. who is the
sweetheart of Michael Hogan, the other
principal. in whom is readily recognized the
clever comedian, John p. Leonard. Brogan
is of a very jealous disposition, and this fact
is taken advantage OF by jokers, who tell
him that his wife has been seen with Ho-
gan. In fact he himself sees Mrs. Casey
and Hogan making ardent love, and mis-
takes her for his wife. With these two fe-
male Dromios as a foundation, many funny
complications are developed. The strong
feature of the performance is the numerous
specialties which are given with dash ana
go that is very taking Sherman Wade does
some clever dancing with NJ iZie King in the
first act. Miss King also appears in the
second act in an exhibition of highly Skill
ful toe dancing. II. which she introduces
some novelties never before seen in Indian
apolis. Eddie ODell the Badly Sours of
comic supplement notOriety, is much better
than the average in his line. He is good
acrobat and contortionist and intersperses
his feats with a running FIRE OF jokes OF
more or less freshness. Master George
Mack who is the Yellow Kid, does some
unusually good singing in the second act.
and his precocous talent was recognized by
three encores. A pretty feature of the third
act was the dance to patriotic music, in
which six ladies of liberty" appeared to
good advantage. The piece is well staged,
the scene in Hogans grove and the roof
garden in Hogans alley being very striking.

lowed Monday by James II. Wallick's "A

TALK WITH ADMIRAL MILLER
He Thinks Hawaii Is Possibly Our
Most Important Naval station.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2-Rear Admiral ]. N.
Miller, who hoisted the flag over the Ha-
waiian islands and proclaimed them part of
the United States, left this city to-day,
after days stay for Springfield, o., his
boyhood home. Admiral Miller will retire
from service in the navy Nov. %. Before
leaving Admiral Miller said: II believe the
Pacific station to be second in Importance,
if not the most important naval station we
have l think so not because i nave COM
manded our fleets in those waters so many
years, but because the rapid growth of the
West coast cities indicates that large pop
ulation will eventually reside there. | am
therefore, greatly satisfied that the govern
ment has seen hit to send two such magnifi-
cent battle ships as the Oregon and the
Iowa to the Pacific station" Speaking of
his prospective retirement, Admiral Miller
said: II greatly regret the necessity of
quitting the service at a time when / feel
am well able to fulfill my duties. but | must
give way TO younger men. ] have had my
innings and must give others a chance"
With regard to the lessons gained by the
late war he said: First and foremost /
think the necessity for the Nicaraguan canal
is the thing of prime Importance to our
navy. A country which has such a vast
coast line on two oceans needs a route by
which war ships can be transferred from
ocean to ocean without mourning the neces-
sity of circumnaVigating continent. /
think the Nicaraguan canal viii be built in
eight years 1t is the only practical passage
The chief difficulty to be surmounted in
Nicaragua is the establishment of a port at
Greytown. The shifting sands Whereabouts
render navigation difficult, and considerable
expense would be incurred in fixing the har-
Dor up Another necessity shown by the
war is that of having a large number OF
frst-class battle ships, capable of sailing
thirteen miles an hour We must have them,
and think we will have them. We want

SICKNESS AT HONOLULU.
Camp Changed on Account of Preva-
lence of Typhoid Fever.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 3.-ITonolulu adj
vices. per r. NJ. S. Arorangi, which arrived
to-day are to the effect that work has been
stopped at Camp Mckinley. The entire
camp will be moved to the Noanolulu tract
which General Merriam has recommended
as a site for the permanent army post
Typhoid fever was the cause of the aban-
donment of the camp. Troops at Camp Otis
will remain there until the arrival of the
transport Arizona from Manila. Typhoid
fever was sown broadcast during the time
the ordinary rules Of sanitation were disre-
garded in the military camps. There are
said to be fifty cases, but trained nurses
have been added TO the force at the hospi-
tai from the city, and it is believed that the
death rate will be very small. A.alaria is on
the decrease. When the Arorangi left there
were 163 patients in the hospital, fifty show
ing typhoid symptoms General King says
that the patients at the hospital will be
moved as quickly as possible to some place
near the hills, where it is dryer and cooler
He says the hospital should not have been
located where 1t is.
The New Workers and engineers will re-
main at Honolulu indefinitely for garrison
duty.
Five deaths from typhoid occurred during
the week previous to the sailing Of the ship
The names of the dead are: Charles H.
thompson, New York regiment; Thomas
Beaver and Private Undertake, Eighteenth
infantry; julius N. Miller. Company E, Ne
braska volunteers, and ID. w. Dawson, Com
pany r. Colorado recruits.
Brigadier General King had quite a con-
troversy with Police Judge Wilcox The
Judge while sentencing some privates for
disorderly conduct, is reported to have said
that if there was any surety of the men
being punished by court-martial he would
let them off easy, but on previous occasion
When they made disturbance the com
sick in bed, although the same night he
Whitewashed. General King wrote to Will
cox asking him if he used the language, and
the judge replied that the report was cor
rect. King then asked for an apology
which Wilcox declined to give, and there the
matter rests for the present
1t is estimated that the new bank will
commence business in Honolulu the first of
the year, with capital of $500 600 with
power to Increase it to So O00. 900. Part of
the capital is local. 1t will not be a national
bank, but organized under the laws of
Hawaii.
The transport Senator arrived the day be-
fore the ATorangi sailed. She will coal at
Honolulu and proceed to Manila. The Voy-
age was uneventful but the men complain
of poor food and crowded quarters. On the
night of the I'D 800 men were attacked with
a violent nausea. the result of eating tainted
food. All recovered.

SEYMOUR, Ind, Nov. "A careful poll,
just completed, indicates that the fusion
county ticket will be elected by not less
than 1850 majority The overthrow of the
Brownstown courthouse ring will be accom-
plished by the united efforts of the leading
Republicans and Democrats of the county.
who have laid aside partisanship on local
issues and have joined hands TO accomplish
the overthrow of the most corrupt ring that
has ever held sway in any county in In
diana What the people of this county want
is to turn the raScals out who have bur-
dened the taxpayers with a debt amount
ing to over 100000. This township and those
surrounding it pay two-thirds of the taxes
of the county, and everything that could be
added to the burden of the people has been
placed there by the ring commissioners. The
cost of the courthouse litigation, which
passed through several courts before reach
ing the Supreme Court, has been paid out
of the country treasury. Knowing these
facts to be true the people have determined
to put a stop to the robbing of the county
to pay individual debts.
