A party Of returning KIondikers,

1--WE all feel that we have made
$1,000, 900 by escaping from Alaska with
our lives. Our party came down the
Yukon river in a small boat when the
river was higher than it has ever been
in the history of the country. The
rapidly melting snow caused the river
to swell to the width of from sixty to
eighty miles, and at no time could We
follow the channel of the river. The
fall of the river is as rapid as its rise.
When we left the upper country it was
eighty feet above the high water mark
and when we reached the Behring sea
we were informed by the natives that
it was but a few feet above high water
mark.

get food and supplies to Dawson this

as many Of the people are without
money, wrecked, physically and men
tally, and there is little prospect Of
getting any Of the steamers up the
river this season. because the snow
melted more rapidly than usual this
year and left nothing to feed the river
later in the season.
"The condition of the prospectors row
in Alaska for the most part Is some
thing deplorable. Those in Dawson

nattee, consisting of W. B.. Dean, a.

Gordon and L. p. Ordway, to prepare
and circulate a petition to the mayor
and common council, asking that if
possible there may be reconciliation
OF all the differences between the city
and the railway company.
The subcommittee has prepared, and
the following petition IS now being
cireulated:
st: Paul, Minn., July 25, 1898.
To the Honorable Mayor and Common Coun-
= ell of the City of St. Paul:
1t appears that for some time past mis-
understandings have existed between the
city OF st. Paul and the Great Northern Rail-
way company, IN regard to the Interpretation
of certain contract made between the par
ties, relating to the construction and main
tenance of bridges over the lines of the rail-
way within the city limits. Also as to the
vacation of certain streets considered by the
railway company necessary for the operation
of Its shops and the conduct of its traffic.
Your petitioners pray that suitable COM
mittee Of your honorable bodies be appoint
ed at once to undertake the adjustment Of
all differences upon all questions now in dis
pute. or that are likely to arise hereafter.
SO that there may be established and that
there may continue to be the most amicable
relations between said Great Northern Rail-
way company and the city of st. Paul
Your petitions express the opinion that
there is no industry or business interest
in the city Of ST. Paul that now contributes
SO largely to the prosperity of the city as
the operations of the Great Northern Railway
company. We believe that neglect on the
part Of the authorities of the city to ad-
Just, In the most friendly and satisfactory
manner, all points of difference with the said
railway company, may injuriously affect every
interest in the city for all time to come We
believe that any corporation or business so
valuable to the city's interest should be fos-
tered in every way possible and treated not
only with justice, but with the most extreme
liberality.
We beg to suggest that your honorable
bodies arrange for the appointment Of Joint
committee from the assembly and board Of
aldermen. in order that there may be the
most expeditions consideration of all matters
to which this petition may relate.

st. Joseph. Mo, Oct. 31.-The Kansas
university football team administered a
crushing defeat to the Enright Medical
college eleven, winning by a score of 40
to 0. Kansas had the ball from the
start and, in the first half, the doctors
had the ball only after the visitors kick
ed off. The Jayhawks showed very
much improved form over their work
in the Warrensburg game. The En-
rights were never able to shatter their
interference and in the line bucking and
end runs the visitors had a great ad-
vantage.
During the game the discovery was
made that many parts of Captain Mos
se's body were protected by wooden and
metal shields and a fight was averted
by the ordering of the famous guard out
of the game. The crowd rushed upon
the field and hurled cat-calls and cpl
thets at the visiting players. Coach
Woodruff explained that the player had
a broken bone and that the protection
of pads was a necessity. The pads were
of the kind commonly used by players
in the big eastern games.

Kansas raflrpads have not as yet receiv-

cause of the delay is the red tap through
which the accounts have to go.

for troops says Adiutant General Allen.
government would pay all bills in cOnneC-
ton with recruiting the regiments, so
when the railroads made out their bills
1 certified to their correctness and the
governor approved them, after which they
were forwarded to the treasury depart
ment at Washington. Soon afterwards
We received a circular from the adjutant
generals department stating that all bills
in connection with recruiting the troops
would have to be paid by the states and
the government would reimburse the
states. So, after some time, the bills
were returned here, but before they were
paid by the state someone else got hold
from the quartermaster generals depart
ment intimated that the government had
concluded to pay the bills direct. The
santa Ee had the largest account of any
Of the railroads, amounting to 81 900, so
their bill was returned to Washington and
done with it.

reu tape, continued Colonel Allen, when
