FROM THE RIVALS CAMP.
Washington Parties Come to This
 City to Outfit for KloDdike.

Secretary Carman is expected back to the city within few days, and the work at the rooms of the Alaska Trade Com mittee will be pushed to the utmost. Preparations are being made to thor oughly bill and post all the mining towns. as the letters and inquiries received every day con- vince the committee that it is very inn portant that this should be done. Large quantities are being sent daily through the mail, but it is found inadequate, and the committee proposes to reach every person who intends going, whetAor M4.C- ing for information or not.
 Parties called yesterday who represented others who are about to leave for Alaska rom Alabama, North Carolina, New Jer- sey, Connecticut, Massachusetts. New Hampshire. Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. A visitor, representing party of ten from Pennsylvania, said that the men of whom he was the forerunner would arrive in San Francisco next month and would purchase their entire outfits here. It is their present plan to sail from here so a s to reach Southern Alaska about March l.
 One party of fifteen which has decided 10 go to the Klondike has written to the Alaska Trade Committee that il intends outfitting from San Francisco and taking steamer here. Strange as it may seem, this party halls from an inland town in the State of Washington, but it intimates that it will find 1t very much to its ad- vantage to come to this city to make it's purchase of supplies and to take passage for the north.
 The executive committee of the Alaska trade committee will hold an important meeting this morning at 10 o'clock at the Ferry building.
 It has been suggested that the commit tee should keep standing advertisements n a number of the large papers of the East and South, setting forth in full the character of the work the committee has undertaken, so as to direct inquiries of Klondike travellers to the central office of the committee in this city. Up to the present time nothing of this sort has been done and the only outside advertisement which the Alaska Trade Bureau has had has been through the news columns of the newspapers and the sending of the special
 with an exhibit to Chicago. Tn this way tens of thousands of copies of maps and advertising circulars have been dis tributed by mall and hundreds of copies every day handed to visitors over the counter of the bureau. It is thought that by keeping standing advertisements in Eastern papers large number of per sons would be informed of the work

 The Morgue contains one of the most grewsome cases ever seen at that insti tuition. It is the body of a man ground all to pieces with not enough left to identify it. The fact that the unfortu nate was carrying a large number of re- ceipts, letters. etc. is the only clew that would ever have made him known. They all bear the name of Joseph Reaside.
 Among the papers were receipts show ing that he had joined the Masonic fra ternity in Paisley, Scotland, August 4, 1882, paying an admission fee of e2 Ss Cd. Then there were receipts showing that he belonged to Waukegan Lodge No. IS, f. and A. M., of Waukegan, Ill.,; Wau- kegan Commandery No. F. K.

 None of the trainmen saw the man be- lore the dtClutnl SOIllhNNOl IL S. Pereau felt the jar as the train passed over the body and signaled the engineer to stop. On going back to investigate the body was found strewn along the track for fifty yards.

Big Surprises Developed In the YER

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT,
Sept THE result of yesterdays BIZ
ennial election in Vermont shows sur
prises, the Republican vote having fall
len off quite materially from four years
ago, whereas the party managers ex-
pected it would equal If not exceed, the
vote of 1894. The Democrats have not
only made a gain for governor, but
have elected SO representatives in 179
towns heard from at noon today, while
only IL were seated in the last off,
year. Although the question Of high
license has been the principal issue
during the campaign, the Prohibition
vote shows a falling off Of over 40 per
cent. One Prohibitionist has been
elected to the house of representatives,
Returns from 172 cities and towns give
the following vote for governor: Smith,
Republican, S0,638; Moloney, Democrat,

The conventions Of the Democrats
Populists and Silver Republicans open
here tomorrow, and the delegates are
on the ground tonight.
The fight between the two factions
Of the Silver Republican party, which
makes a split almost certain in that
party, diminishes the cha noes Of fusion
between the Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans. There will be
some difficulty, If fusion is eff
fected. who is to name the head
Of the ticket and who the rest of the
ticket.
The followers Of Senator Teller, Of
the Silver Republican party, are said
to have agreed upon Frank C. Gourdy
as their candidate for governor. The
Democrats are divided between the
present governor, Alva Adams, and
Charles S. Thomas. With the Popu-
lists it Is said Judge Thompson, Of the
court Of appeals, is the favorite.
The opera house, where the Silver
Republican convention is called, is now
in the hands Of the followers of Chair
man Broad, who was deposed by Ma
tiOnal Chairman Towne yesterday, and
they are guarding it with an armed
forCa. This faction was opposed to
fusion with the other parties, and will
unQuestionably nominate a full state
ticket
