Seattle stores crowded with people a.
O'Clock In the morning was one OF Inc
strange affermatis % the arrival OF the
steamer Alliance. late Saturday evening
There were 100 passengers on board, most
Of whom were returning Kiondikers With
more or less wealth. Nearly every one OF
ehem had to be fitted out and Seattle
cnevchants did not ssk them to walt until
zorning to get wha, they wanted In
Doms cases where the men had nothing
but dust, credit was given until the dust
could be cashed In.
All was hustle on the returning gold
steamer yesterday for she was being
IN ordinary trooper. The "Kiondike rush"
equipment owned by her charterers WAS
rapidly being taken out for use In the
beat that viii take the Alliances place on
1he northern run. Coal was sided into
hes cunkers and force Of mechanics was
truing up her machinery. She was ex-
pected back here several weeks ago but
was delayed In waiting for the completion
of a river boat that was building ut Dutch
Harbor. Consequently there Is very little
tine left 10 get her 10 San Francisco for
government use.
The men from Dawson brought down on
the Alliance scattered yesterday to the
four corners Of the earth. That Is all
but the men with the big sacks. The lat
ter are compelled 10 stay here until they
can get their gold cashed in at the assay
Office. Some of them have considerable
gold. too Take i. X. and A. =. Quinn OF
Boulder, Col. for instance. Their golden
wcsith Is In big valise. One of the
Butler Hotel bell boys found the grip In
his way yesterday and tried 10 lift II. 1t
stayed with the floor as though nailed TO
II. The belt boy tried both hands. The
vaiise never bniged Then he got don
on his knees and rolled Il out of the way.
Going 10 one OF his fellow workers who
was watching the operation. he remarked:
Holy gee, that there grip must have
about a million In It. It's too heavy to
Nft."
The Gums have no use for newspapers.
They refuse absolutely to talk. They
claim 10 have mo- opinions on the royalty
question. the official stesls, the mounted
police pest. the kiandike output and the
other kindred subjects that Klondikers
like 10 talk about There are these on
the boat who say that the Guims are
very weli-to-do. and that the $4,000 they
are credited with having brought out Is
considerable less than their real holdings
In dust and drafts.
Then there Is a party OF four Scotch
men who have plenty OF money for they
had plenty OF luck in the kIon,,ike. They
are Maicofm McKlnnon. Donald McKln-
non and Alexander McKnnon. OF yelling
