dispatches from the coast when the

Cready laughs at the stories of starva-

nothing until his party was half way
down TO Dyea. Everybody in Daw-
son. he says, had money when he left
and, while one man might be short on
beans and another on rice, there would
be no trouble in cutting up. and there
was plenty of stuff to be purchased. he
says. when he pulled up for the Pacific
coast. Even the women who have

search for gold. and may. he says. as

The trip from Dawson over the Chill

Chicago, after spending part of the day
in Minneapolis, where he has friends.
and he VIII return to Dawson with a

REINDEER KILLED.
Only Fifteen Out of Forty Survive
an Ocean Voyage


NEW YORK. Jan. 24.-Scventeen
reiHdeer were executed by hanging on
their voyage from Hamburg, in the
British ship Glanton, which reached
here after a tempestuous voyage Of
fourteen days. The rolling ship was
their executioner. Fifteen others sur
vived the trip, but one Of them has a
broken knee cap which has been rude
ly bound in splints
The fifteen are all that are left of a
herd Of forty reindeer started from a
small village in Finland more than
month ago. destined for a journey of
more than 10000 miles to the Klondikt
This journey involves two railroad
trips and two long sea voyages. They
were purchased by an old Klondiker
who believed there was money In ship
ping reindeer to the land OF gold as
beasts Of burden. The Glanton steam
ed out Of Hamburg on Jan. into
gale which rolled the ship like a bar
rel. Two Of the reindeer had their
necks dislocated before the vessel had
been out three hours, and the next
day three others were executed in the
same manner The fifth day brought
a gale from the westward which speed
lily produced five more dead reindeer.
In the gale Of last Thursday six more
were killed. and the legs OF three
others were fractured in half a dozen
places.

NAVIGATION OF THE YUKON.
Canadian Government Asks the L. $.
for Certain Information.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The secre-
tary of the treasury is in receipt of a
letter from Mr.. Sifton, the Canadian
minister of the interior. asking for in
formation as TO what navigation regula-
tions the treasury department is con-
tcmp!atng for the control Of navigation
Of the Yukon river during the coming
season. superintendent of Navigation
Chamberlain is now a work framing
these regulations and confesses himself
much perpleXed over the problem which
IS presented to him. While there is
nothing in the letter from Mr.. Sifton
to indicate any purpose on the part of
Great Britain to object TO the regula-
tons which the United States govern
ment may promulgate, the officials OF
the treasury are not certain that some
step of the kind may not be taken by
the Canadian authorities. The reason
for suspecting such a purpose lies who'll
ly in the provision OF the treaty Of
Washington in regard TO the navigation
OF the rivers of ALASKA.
This provision is as follows: THE
ne vigation of the rivers Yukon, Porcu-
pine. and Stickeen, ascending and de-
scending to and from the sea, shall for
ever remain free and open for the pur-
pose of commerce to the subjects of her
Britannia majesty and to the citizens
of the United States, subject to any
laws and regulations of either country
within its own territory not inconsis-
tent with such privilege of free r,ayiga-
ton"
1t is considered Just and possible by
the treasury officials. since the receipt
