Interesting Return of Thirty-eight

A War Office return, issued on
Saturday, shows that up to the date
Of tho last official report no fewer
than $1,000 enrolled members were
wearing the medal for efficient
service Of 20 years and upwards,
The Volunteer Force to-day mum
bers some 239,000 officers and men.
OF these the bulk of men are sup
piled by those OF one yesr's service,
who furnish au aggregate of nearly
$4,000; those of 2 years service
furnish some $4,000 of all arms, and
for 3 years an almost equal number
For years there are about $4,000
OF all arms, and then the numbers
fall off until the ratio of 10 10 Is
years is reached, which shows that
up to that period the gradually re-
tanning veterans have reached some
10000. But the important fact re-
mains that from Is to 20 years and
upwards there are still borne on the
colors some $4,000 officers and men.
The light horse is almost cypher,
but the artillery make up some 5000,
the engineers about 1900, iufsutry
10000, aud medical staff CORPS

juncts which make up
THE GRAND TOTAL OF 23S,000,
the highest reached in the history
OF the force, which dates back to the
year 1859, when the official and
Royal mandate was issued for the
formation OF armed civilian corps
throughout the Queens dominions
in Great Btitaiu, since extended To
Greater Britain. The Volunteer
Force has now to submit to a
medical and stiff examination before
its members are allowed to be en-
rolled, but Notwithstanding this test
no fewer than 44000 have under
gone the ordeal for the artillery
and light horse, $4,000 for the en-
gineew, 10000 for the infantry,
and some $4,000 for the medi-
cal staff, their age ranging under II
years to near 1900, IL to Is near
5000, l8 to 20 about $4,000, and 20

SURROUNDED
The Cross Creek Robbers Are Not Yet
CAPTURED

OdpLuIoQ
MERGED, CAL, March 30-Reports from
the mountains that the officers are sup
posed to have the train robbers Surrounded
are meager this morning and no change of
importance has developed. Many of the
officers stayed in Hornitos last night
though several were left to guard the re-
treat where the outlaws are said to be In
hiding. This morning all the pursuers
moved southwark a few miles toward Bear
Creek. The railroad detectives who ar
rived here last night and went to Hocnitos,
however, were convinced that the out
laws being pursued were not connected
with the Cross Creek robbery. They say
the coins paid by the outlaws to the In
dian Gulch store-keeper were marked, but
not in such manner as to indicate that
they had been in an explosion. So far as
the railroad detectives are concerned, the
chase has already been given up, but the
other officers on the trail will continue the
hunt in the belief that one of the outlaws
is the notorious bandit, Cliff Reagan, who
is wanted for crimes committed in Mer-
ced, MADEIRA. Fresno, Tulare, Placer, Ell
Dorado and other counties. This morning
Sheriff Merritt and Deputy Harrellson of
Visalia and Sheriff Cunningham of Stock

PENSION PAYMENTS
Require More Millions Than Have
Been Appropriated

WASHINGTON, March 30-In sending to
congress a deficiency estimate of $S,07O,S72
for pensions for this year, Secretary S.ss
made an interesting statement on the gen.
eral subject of pensions UP to date. Sec
rotary Bliss says:
ION the LIST of July. 1897, there was avail
able $14O,0OO,00O for the payment of army
and navy pensions; 100000 Of this was
set apart for navy pensions, leaving $780,
100000 for payment of army pensions. The
total number of pensioners on June 30, 1897,
was 976014, while on the 2Sth of February,
1898, there were 9S9,613, on the roll, a net
increase Of 1859.
But on later dates there was disbursed
for the payment Of army pensions s95, &c.,
S72 leaving the sum of $4O629,1H for the
payment of pensions to the end of the pres
emit fiscal year. The commissioner of PEN
sions estimates that s4S, 700, 900 will be re-
CURED for the payment of pensions during
the remaining four months of the fiscal
year, more than $S,00O,0O0 in excess Of the

Tramway Companies Appliances OBJ

Thrown Out of Work
Associated Press Special Wire

DYEA, Alaska, March "a, via Seattle,
March 30.-The white packers at the sum-
nit, to the number of several hundred,
have driven Off the Indian packers who
have been packing goods here every sum-
mer for years. Chilcoot Jack, one Of the
Indians, has appealed to Governor Brady
for protection from the white men. The
Governor referred him to Deputy Marshal
Cudihee first and instructed him that If
the Marshal failed to give him the desired
protection that he should then appeal to
Colonel Anderson. 1t is understood that
Colonel Anderson will not tolerate any such
action by the white men, even If they are
American citizens.
The price for packing from the scales to
the summit is cents per pound at present.
There is perfect stream of men going up
with packs on their backs AS soon as a
man lifts his foot, another man puts his In
the track. Packers make from Sc to SIS per
day. The Burns hoists are working-one
by horse power and one by steam. The
Dyea-Klondike Company has just got it's
aerial tramway in operation. Other pro-
posed tramways are not yet completed.
The Burns hoists only run from the scales
to the summit, and the Dyea-Klondike
Company from a short distance below the
scales to the summit.
Threats are heard that If the tramway
companies get to working too soon the
packers will take measures to stop their
work, as the successful operation of the
tramway throws practically all the pack
ers out Of work
Over hundred teams came in the past
week and Joined the crowd that has been
employed at unloading the scows and
hauling the freight to Sheep Camp. The
price of hauling from Dyea to Sheep Camp
dropped during the week from cents to 2
cents per pound.
It fluctuates according to the condition OF
the roads and the demand Teams have
been making from $50 to 500 per day for
several weeks and many tons are yet piled
up awaiting forwarding. The price for
hauling freight taken from Dyea to Lake
Bennett has been in the neighborhood of
101s cents per pound. A large number OF
men have been taking their own outfits
up the trail, either by their own muscle or
by dogs, horses, oxen or goats.
Everyone is apprehensive that the road
in the canyon will give out any day, when
teaming with horse sleds or in fact with
any sleds will have to be abandoned inthe
canyon and the trail resorted to. Prices
will be advanced then some or cents at
least per pound. 1t is estimated that the
ice in the canyon cannot last more than ten
or twelve days If the present mild weather
continues.
Travel is proceeding regularly on the
Skaguay trail by the use Of part of the
wagon road. Goods are hauled through to
Lake Bennett. Pack trains are coming
into use as the ice melts and makes the use
of the Yukon sleds impracticable. Prob
