Seattle, Wash, June s.-The list of
prospectors who have perished in their
rush to the Yukon gold fields over the
Edmonton trail is growing, and If re-
ports brought down by the steamer
Laurada from southeastern Alaska are
to be believed il will be very large when
the full story is told. Fifty are reported
to have been drowned in Great Slave
lake, 20 have perished in the rapids of
the Mud and Laird rivers, ten have
frozen to death, 25 have died from
scurvy. The bodies of a score who died
of exposure have been found. Illus
trative of the distress along the trail,
c. Richter, of New York, who commit
ted suicide, is said to have stuck up
sign on tree which reads: Hell can't
be worse than this trail; III chance it,"
Attacked by scurvy.
Several parties reached Wrangel last
week from the interior after spending
from ~ to 20 months on the trail in the
vain endeavor to reach the land of
wealth. They say that not less than
200 prospective miners have lost their
lives by drowning, starvation, exposure
and freezing during the last winter
Most of these were Americans from the
eastern states. Scurvy is now raging
among the miners who are helpless on
the trail. Before relief can reach them
many others will have perished.
Many Reported Missing.
Many persons are reported missing,
having started through the mountains,
intending TO go TO certain posts, but
falling to arrive. Preston, Hitchcock
and Bremner are known TO have per-
ished in Great Slave lake. They built
a frail raft with considerable difficulty
and started across the lake shortly be-
fore the freeze-up. n snowstorm swept
down upon them and the raft broke up.
All must have been drowned. Fred
Preston was drowned while trying to
ford the Lizard river Capt Mason, an
old-time Alaskan mariner, was swept
from a raft while trying to cross the
Nelson river.

They felt instinctively he could be trust

and in the right place, and that no emer-
gency could come TO which he would not

He has amply justified their confidence.
Whether in diplomacy, etiquette, interna-
tional law, business or battle, he has been
always ready, and has met no master
With no land forces to occupy Manila,
and In the presence Of unfriendly fleets,
he blockaded the harbor and held
possession of the Philippines while the

he exhibited neither jealousy nor hesita-

which its Caesars feed, and there is no

n which he wished ia

tive operations, in which he wished to
participate.
To the mass of the people he was I'M
known. At sunrise Sunday, May /, 1885,
his life had not been of consequence
enough to find place in the Century Cyclic
paedia of proper names which rescues
from oblivion so many insignificant cele-
brities.
BY noon that day he had inscribed his
name indelibly in the list of the worlds
great admiraPs. No cyclopedia will omit
his biography hereafter till there is no
more sea.
In six hours he changed the geography
of q hemisphere.
Subig and Cavite and Corregidor, I'M
known when he entered the harbor of
Manila, the next day were pronounced by
nations. In that brief interval he closed
one epoch for Spain and opened another
for America.
When Dewey left Mrs bay the odds
were against him. The modern warship
was as yet an untried experiment. The
charts of the channels were worthless.
The location of mines, torpedoes and
shore batteries was unknown. The posi-
ton of the Spanish fleet itself was I'M
certain until daybreak.
That mysterious night voyage at slow
speed, beneath dark and alien skies, with
the tremendous possibilities of the tomor-
row, will rank with the most impressive
episodes of undaunted and indomitable
fortitude. With no reinforcement nor
base Of supplies, nor friendly haven OF
refuge, defeat meant hopeless and ir-
remediable ruin to this forlorn hope of
the seas.
That the unprecedented triumph was
achieved with so small sacrifice does not,
as some carping critics claim, disparage,
but rather enhances the genius and hero
Ism with which 1t was Won Neither
Dewey nor his men knew that half his
ships would not be sunk and half MS
crews. slain. 1t was not till the battle
was over that the intirrnities of their an
tagonists were disclosed. Their only
presage of success was that their intrepid
souls contained the prophecy.
We all remember the week of silence
and apprehenslve suspense after the
cables were cut and direct communication
ceased. The final result of the battle
was for days unknown. Vague and am
biguous rumors of disaster to our feet
came from Madrid. The tension was
extreme Even the most sanguine were
conscious Of a shadow of dread and solic-
itude.
None can forget the sense of relief and
exultation and gratitude with which, at
ter delay that seemed intermlnable, Dew
ey's brief, terse, laconic bulletin was
read by miYlions of his countrymen:

daybreak this morning. 1t Immediately

On the docket of the old Justices court
of York county, Maine, of a date thirty
years ago, appears this entry:

The occasion for the entry was an en-
gagement between the then lieutenant
and a civilian named Garland, who did
not pay what Dewey considered proper
respect to him and to his uniform, and In
fact 1eered at them both. Dewey prompt
ly knocked him down and Deputy Sheriff
Plaisted promptly placed him under ar
rest.
Dewey who was then very young, and
whose stripes were very new, loftily told
the deputy sheriff he had no power to
place him under arrest; that he was an
officer Of the United States navy, and
would decline to be taken into custody.
He did unbend enough to accompany the
deputy sheriff to the commodores office
in order to enlighten the law officer upon
the great gulf between q deputy sheriff
and a lieutenant in the United States
navy The commodore looked at the dep
uty's badge, inspected the warrant he
produced. and then said:
Lieutenant, the young man Is right,
and you had better prepare for trial"
1t was a great come-down for Dewey,
and it was long time before he regained
his full confidence in the navy depart
ment. He was duly tried at Kittery, and
the result was as indicated by the docket.

Man Who Could Not Only Win ~
Great Battle, but Was Master of
Himself.
BY John J. Ingalls,
IT is doubtful if history has any coun-
terpart to the fame and career of George
Dewey. 1t Is one of the incredible de-
movements of destiny.
A youth of twenty-eight, commissioned
MS lieutenant commander at the close of
the War of the Rebellion, in which he
served with courage and distinction, he
passed the next thirty-three years in I'M
conspicuous bureau service and routine
sea duty in honorable obscurity. He had
nearly reached the age of compulsory re-
tirement.
Although he seems young. he was as old
rs Farragut when he destroyed the Con-
federate forts and fleet and captured
New Orleans in 1882 He was fourteen
years older than Nelson when the Eng,
lishman died in the hour of victory at
Trafalgar His health was infrm and
his life seemed like a race that was al
ready run.
Assigned early In the year to the COM
mand Of the Asiatic squadron, the first
American commodore in those waters
since Perry. it is said he was averse to
the station. War with Spain was imni-

him not to shoot the men came back.

Dewey, however, ordered them aboard
