WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-General Mer-
Ram, under instructions from Acting
Secretary Meiklejohn of the war de
partment, opened at Seattle the dis.
patches brought by Special Messenger
Wells from Captain Ray, the depart
ment's special representative i'll the
Klondike, and forward an abstract of
them to the department by telegraph.
The state of affairs in the Klondike,
as revealed, is worse than was suspected
at the war department, and, indeed, 80
large is the task that remains to be exc
cuted in order to insure the safety OF
life and property on the American side
of the line alone that the war depart
ment officials have concluded to advise
congress as to the facts and place upon
the legislative branch the duty of devis-
ing ways and means to meet the exigen-
cies of the case. The abstract of Cap
tain Rays report, as telegraphed by
Major Robinson, says:
--latest, bearing date of Nov 2 and 3
refers to action and attempted robbery
of coaches, recommends that United
States government take steps to effectu-
ally check immigration to interior of
Alaska of all persons not fully supple d
to last two years
GIVE as reason no way TO earn q liv-
ing and that no placer discoveries have
been made within last eight months,
either in Alaska or the Northwest terri
tory.
''There is no employment for any large
number of people in any capacity, all
values are speculative. There is no
fixed standard for labor There is not
now, or likely to be within IL months,
adequate or efficient means Of supply
ing people now in Alaska or Northwest
territory. Is of opinion that about seven
per cent of all people who have entered
during the past year have earned the
living, and hundreds are now scattered
along the river destitute of food, cloth
ing and shelter. People coming in h.lvc
not had faintest idea what to do for :,
living, and after spending their money
they then become dazed and helpless.
Estates rush will be great the mex,
year, and any step that will prevent
people from coming in their ignorance
will be an act of charity. s
