IN TERRIBLE CONDITION.
a Massachusetts Man Reports Of Suffer
ings in the Klondike Country

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 19.-Charles
Farnsworth of Massachusetts has re-
turned from Kotzebue sound, where
he went last April ON the schooner Ma
rion from San Francisco. He says her
voyage north with 81 men aboard was
something terrible.
Farnsworth's party became disguised
with the prospecting late in August
and returned to Kotzebue, where they
found 500 hungry and for the most part
penniless prospectors living in tents.
Farnsworth says not one in 10 had
money IT, pay his return passage, and
not one in so had supplies for the win
ter. He believes that before this time
starvation exists among these ar
gonauts among the members were
several dozen women and children who
were suffering for food One family
had been living on rice and picked
pork for 10 days. Farnsworth thinks
the Red Cross Society or the govern
nlent should send a steamer to Kotze-
bue and rescue these unfortunates.

OCEAN POSTAGE.
British Authorities Have Nothing Official
from u. S. on This Subject.

London, Oct. 19.-Inquiry made at the
general postoffice here shows the postal
authorities here know nothing official
ly of the fact that the third assistant
postmaster general Of the United
States Mr. Merritt, will in his report
this year, recommend the reduction of
ocean postage between the United
States and Great Britain to two cents
a half ounce on first class mail matter.
The officials of the British postoffice
say the matter stands as follows:
''When a reduction of the postage be-
tween Great Britain and her colonies
was decided upon, the idea of similar
arrangement with the United States
was well received by the British au-
thorities But they now say the only
objection is that the United States may
wish to make ii a step for a similar re-
duction with the countries of the postal
union. for which Great Britain is not
vet prepared. But one of the British
postal officials remarked, for such an
arrangement with the United States
we are quite ready

Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
on the Situation.

London, Oct. 19.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the exchequer,
speaking at North Shields this evening,
announced that the government had
opened negotiations with the powers
with a view of securing the subjects of
the various powers the right of devel-
oping the respective spheres in which
each country is especially interested. .
Regarding the Fashoda question: he
said he wished cordially to acknowl-
edge the desire evidenced in the speech
es of Lord Roseberry and Mr.. Herbert
Asquith to help the government in the
matter. "a matter which might develop
to the utmost gravity"
1T is impossible, he continued, for
France to maintain that she has poll
teal rights at Fashoda. She has nat
urally and properly asked for time to
receive Major Marchand's report, but
until the contrary is proved, ! decline
to believe that France will refuse to
withdraw. If she refused, the matter
would assume an aspect as grave as is
possible between two great nations.
THE government is animated by the
friendliest spirit toward France, and
does not wish to infict humiliation.
What we desire is fair treatment. Our
work in Egypt is not completed. Afri-
ca is big enough for us both, for France
in the west and ourselves in the east.
Surely we ought to be able to agree
to respect one anothers rights and
claims.
Il hope, trust and believe the question
capable of q friendly solution, but this
country has put her foot down. If I'M
happily another view should be taken
by France the queens ministers know
what their duty demands
1T would be a great calamity if at
ter peace for upwards of so years, our
friendly relations should be disturbed
and we should be launched in a great
war; but there are greater evils than
war, and we shall not shrink from any
thing that is coming, knowing that we
are supported by a united people"
