Tho Clan-na-Gael celebrated the 12Oth ami

gresham from one of the Erie county districts,
were the attractions. William Temple Emmett,
a grandnephew of Robert Emmett, presided.
The Irish Volunteers were distributed about

TACOMA, Wash, March 6.-Grea indignation
prevails among the 10000 men who are scat
tered along the SkaEway and Dyea trails at the
stationing OF Canadian customs officers at the
summit Of the passes. Now oven the fooG which
the Klondikors will consume while boat build

every pack animal owned by the freightcrs and
their feed for each trip to the lakes. At Lake
Bennett rental is to be charged for tenting
ground. Logs to build cabins will cost $40 and
logs for frewood or boat building 20 cents each.
Twenty-Five dollars is charged for every dog.
Advices received to-day by the steamer Far
rellon say that the Klondikers could scarcely
fare worse II the Canadian officers moved down
to SkaRway and Dyea and charged duty on
every American article unlosded. Hundreds
OF men with good outfits have gone north with
only enough money to reach Alaska. They
hoped to earn money building boats or at other
work at the lakes. or to work out their duty at
the Canadian customs stations as was done at
TaRish Lake last fall. Tho collector of duties at
the summits preclude all this, besides raising
an international TnsS nal question Y;aLS1p Of boundary ogd n So rights. ,,,
held meetings at which threats were made Of
ana refusing to pay duty. Serious trouble seemp
in sight though it 10 hoped that the presence of
United States troops at Skag way will prevent
bloodshed. The collection of duty on dogs, pack
horses. and food. and the charge for logs and
fuel at the lakes, are among the increased
charges just put into effect in an apparent en-
deg vor to force ali Klondikcrs to outfit in tho
British Columbia towns. 1t is feared on Puget
Sound that the Canadians have secured the
whip hand In this respect.
INSPECTOR Belcher, with twenty policemen at
Chilkoot Pass. and Capt. Strickland at White
Pass. with twenty more, began collecting duty
ON the submits on Feb. %.

Rampant, and the miners generally were we'll

had boon reached on several claims. They were
rich in coarse gold, though not as rich as on the
klondike. Claims there will pay handsomely.
Many claims on Little Munook, Minute, and
other streams were producing $40 to $50 q day
per man. The general belief prevails there that
richer ground will be found near tho head
waters of the Tanana River.
Late in january a nugget valued at 81 036
