Thumser Party Investigated RumOrs OF
Gold, But Found None.
FORT MCPHERSON, N. w. T., Aug. 2,
via San Francisco, Oct. 24.-William
Thumser Of Chicago and party, Ell route
to the Alaska gold diggings, arrived at
Fort Mcpherson today, after passing
through Great Slave Lake to the
McKensie river, down the latter river to
the Peel river, and up the Peel to Nc
PhersOn.
Mr.. Thumser said: "0ur party left
Fort Resolution July 10, and had am
pie time to personally investigate all
rumors regarding the finding of gold in
tributaries of McKensie river. I can say
for the benefit of those contemplating
prospecting the McKensie expecting to
find gold in its tributaries that none has
been found up to this time in paying
quantities, Notwithstanding reports to
the contrary. Quite number of parties
have turned back and the majority of
those bound for the Peel river are now
making their way towards the Yukon
river via Rat Belt and Porcupine rivers.
Few will succeed in getting through
this year. We met party of English
men today who are making their way to
the Arctic ocean, expecting to catch a
steamer or whaler and get to civiliza-
ton before winter sets in"

Discovery of the New Mouth OF
the Yukon Cuts OF Nearly
500 Miles
Of the Distance Necessary to
Reach the Klondike by
Water.
It Will Also Do Away With a
Great Amount of the Present
Danger.
Reports of Gold on Tributaries
of the McKensie River Not
Substituted.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The discovery
Of 2, 500 miles additional territory on the
Alaskan coast and of new channel for
Yukon bound vessels, which will min
imize distance and dangers to vessels,
was officially reported to the United
States coast and geodetic survey by John
Pratt, the assistant in charge of the sur
yey which has been working in these
waters. What the expansion of Alaskan
territory is due to, is not known. There
is possibility of accretion and constant
outward growth of the land since the
first charts We're made, but the better
opinion is that it is due to previous in
accurate charts, the present be-
ing the first regular and re-
liable survey of the region.
The finding of the new channel will
effect saving of about 400 or 500 miles
in reaching the Yukon. At present YES
sells destined for the Yukon region have
to proceed up the ocean outside the long
bar some % miles off from the coast up
TO ST. Michaels, there transship to small
boats which have to creep along the
coast down to Aphoon channel, 10Omiles
or so below St. Michaels. This channel
carries the water only two feet over the
bar at low tide. The new channel just
found is the "Kuslivak," which will
carry eight feet over the bar at low
water, and according to present expecta-
lions, will permit ships of moderate
draught to proceed directly into the
Yukon from the south and then con-
tinue up the river 400 or 500 miles to a
safe landing before transshipping to the
smaller boats which will go the remain
der of the way up the river. ~, ,...

Attitude of the French Public on the
Fashoda Question.


Fashoda Question.
) PARIS, Oct. PA remarkable change
has come over French opinion on the
Fashoda question during the last 4S
hours. The attitude of the public is
more infamed and more defiant. This
is partly due to the tone of the British
press, but more to the threatening
speech of the British chancellor of the
exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
which The Autorite calls ga provocation
that is almost threat of war"
The municipal council of Paris is
abused ON all sides for exhorting the
government to avert war. In govern
ment circles the disposition seems to be
to resist the British demands.
1t is reported that the policy of
France, as definitely stated to Great
Britain, includes the retention of Fa-
shoda. Rumors that the Russian for
eign minister, Count Muravieff, has as
sured M. Delcasse, the French foreign
minister, of Russias support in the
controversy tend to stiffen the backs of
the higher officials. . ....- ...... -

LONDON, Oct. A.-Government circles
here are apparently satisfied that the
Fashoda question will not lead to war.
At the same time the statement is reit-
Grated that the government will not
bulge from the position it has taken, no
matter what the outcome. 1t is also
said ON good authority that the govern
ment is not disposed to brook unreason-
able delay and that in the event of
France declining to evacuate Fashoda,
Major Marchand and party will be re-
moved rom that place, although it is
not e. pc, ted that it will be necessary to
resort to such extremes. -.-~ ss-..-.
