Returning Gold Hunters Bring Tales
of Distress and Death.

Pors Townshend. Wash, Sept. 2S.-The
steam schooner Fulton has arrived, IA
days from st. Michaels, having en-
countared severe gales during the vow
age. She brought 80 miners, represent
ing almost every mining district in
Alaska. The crowd, according to the
statement of the purser, has between
10000 and $1,000 in gold dust.
Among the passengers were John
Emerson of Minnesota and Charles
Daniels of Honolulu, who left Kotzebue
sound on Aug. 49, They have prospected
almost every stream emptying into the
sound, but found nothing beyond small
colors. They had heard nothing of the
reported strike on the Kowak river.
About 1000 men were on the beach
awaiting an opportunity to return south
All the business houses which had open
ed there to catch the trade of the min
ers had their goods packed ready for
Shipment to some other point.
Seventeen prospectors are known to
have been drowned during the season
at Hottom inlet. Many others are miss
ing. 1t is supposed they lost their lives
in attempting to ascend the small riv-
erS.
Favorable reports from Minook dis
trict are brought out. Captain Robert
j. Durham of the river steamboat r de-
out says that number of new strikes
along the creeks in that district had
been reported and the prospects are
most favorable. He also reports the
discovery of two veins of coal on the
Yukon river about 800 miles from it's
mouth The coal is being mined ard
sold to steamboats, at $25 per ton. 1t
will render navigation on the river
much cheaper, as wood is scarce and
expensive. During the trip up the river
the steamboat paid $4,7OO for wood.
The coal is mined easily, one man being
able to take out from five to seven tons
a day.
State Senator j. w. Range of Seattle,
who is among the returning Dawson
ties, said just before leaving Dawson
that Colonel Davis, president Of the re-
lief committee of the combined secret
orders, told him that the average death
rate was five per day during the last
two months. The highest number of
deaths in one day was IS.

Gates Our contemporary says:
And the house Of representatives comes
In for a share Of tho honors OF the victory
won under the Inspiration Of the President.
on that, as on several other occasions In
recent years, the house showed q wise
conservatism that was consplcuously Lack
ing In the action desired and designed by
the senate. Had the house been less deter
mined to stand by the President, the gov
eminent Of the United States would have
perpetrated = gigantic blunder, fraught
with humiliation to this country and dIsas-
ter to Cuba. For the Cuban republic so
eloquently lnuded by senators was and Is q
myth, and the Cuban insurgents, judged at
their best, are not the kind OF men to
whose rule tho people Of Cuba could be
consistently and safely trusted as the re-
suit Of a war for humanity.
We are not now hearing much from
the statesmen who were eloQuently eulo-
gtsins the Cuban republic which the
recognitionists declared existed some
where. Not-only is the Presidents pol
fey vindlcatd, but there is a general SEN
timent Of confidence in the fact that the
stable government which the United
States stands pledged to establish in
Cuba win come under the wise super
vision of the administration which had
the foresight to see the breakers ahead
In the rash policy that was advocated,
and stood firm to save the country from
situation which would have been of a
most embarrassing nature. It was a
great victory that was won by the Pres,
ident, with the aid of the majority of the
house of Representatives and the sena-
torn who stood by the administration.

The character of the answer from
Spain to the Presidents note laying
down peace terms is not known. and
will not be Known to the public until
the conference between the French am
bassador and the President results in
some conclusion. Although no official
intimaton Of the status of matters is
obtainable, the presumption is that the
communication from the Spanish cabl-
net Is not final answer, but either a
counter-pFopositlon or a request for a
fuller statement on certain points in
the Presidents note.
This Is all contrary to the assumption
yesterday that the Spanish government
had yielded every point Doubtless the
real situation Is that Spain Is parieyins.
This will not, by any means. be per-
mitted to continue long, the best evil
dence Of which is that there is no cessa-
ton of war movements on the part Of
our government.
The Inevitable is that Spain will come
70 the terms OF the United States, and
whatever delays may occur in getting
on foot the actual negotiations of a
peace treaty will be TO the further dis
advantage of the Spanish government
In the absence OF any definite Informa-
lion as to the points of disagreement II
there are any, all reports Of the precise
character Of the Spanish reply are mere
speculatlons.
Peace win come and come SOON The
very logic Of the situation points to that
conclusion Of the negotiations, and the
continued aggressiveness OF che United
States is evidence that the President In
tends to make no further concession. It
Is probable that to-day win witness the
conclusion Of the conference between
the representative Of the Spanish gov
eminent and the President, which will
be either an ultImatum by the PresI-
dent or a surrender OF Spain on what
ever points are at issue. No military
operations are being restrained. and the
movement Of troops for Puerto Rico
previously ordered is being carried opt
Judging from the washington dis
patches peace Is assured. and there need
be no anxiety. 1t ls probable that the
war may end without the firing of an
other gun, or at least without another
battle OF consequence, unless the crisis
at Manila may precIpitate the capture
OF the city in advance of an armIstice
pending a peace treaty. Let us all hope
that peace will come. as expected, with
81 few days.
