MILLIONS AFLOAT.
Steamer Robert Kerr Starts
From Dawson City.
Bound For st. Michael With
$3,OOO,OOO In Dust.
THE EXTREMES MEET.
Prosperous Miners From the
KlOndike Country
And Disappointed Ones From
Copper River, Return.

Seattle, Wash, July 7.-Advices from
Dawson say that steamer Robert Kerr
left there June 20 with over $3O0O,00O
worth of gold dust for ST. Michael.
The two extreme results of the search
for gold in Alaska were presented in
strong contrast when the steamer City
of Topeka arrived from the north.
Miners from Dawswon walked down the
gang plank trembling under the weight
of the gold dust they carried
Miners from Copper River followed
staggering from physical weakness and
disease contracted in the terrible north.
The Klondikers wore new suits Those
from Copper River were still in the
blanket clothes they wore when they
left civilization and nearly everyone had
a roll of blankets under his arm. One
poor Copper River miner from New
York landed without cent. A KlOn-
diker hearing of his plight purchased
for him a ticket across the continent
with a sleeping car coupon and fitted
him out with new clothes.
The Topeka also brought details Of
the drowning of four men at Five Finger
Rapids. They were:
L. GREEN, Seattle.
H. MOHLIN, WILDLY Island, Wash.
H. DINGLEY, Victoria, B. c.
WILLIAM HOFFMAN, WILDLY Is
land, Wash.
They were going to Dawson on
scow and when they reached the rap
ids they became confused and lost con-
troll OF their ScOW. The stream carried
it against the rocks and broke it into
pieces. The four men were unable to
swim.
The Copper river passengers number
ed fourteen. They say the government
relief party sent by Captain Abercrom-
bic into the interior did a great deal of
good and doubtless saved many lives
Abercrombie is now some distance up
the Copper valley, working on the main
road to the Yukon.
Purcer R. c. Jones says that the
Klondil1ers on the Topeka placed in his
care about 100000 in gold dust J. T.
Kenyon, V. w. Haywood and Judge
Ostrangers, who We're the richest men
on board, had about 400 pounds of dust
between them.
DR.. Leroy Townsend, who has been in
charge of the hospital in the Copper
river district arrived here today He
went into the Copper river country in
February. 1893 he confirms prevfGss

IS FUNSTON MIFFED?
War Department Does Not I'm.
derstand His Attitude.

Washington, July THE war depart
ment is unable to explain the desire Of
Gen. Funston to hasten the return of
the Kansas regiment. Some time after
the promotion was conferred the op-
pOrtunity was offered Gen. Funston to
remain in the service. Such aptitude
and enthusiasm had been shown by the
young commander in the Philippine
campaign that the government wished
to retain his services. The proposition
made through Gen. Otis is understood
to have been quite hattering. But Gen.
Funston was not tempted by it. He
Immediately declared his preference to
return home and be mustered out.
No reason was given which would
convey the impression that Gen. Fun
ston felt sore over the treatment he or
the Kansans had received. In his life
of varied adventure and experience
Funston has always been positive and
impatient of delay. In this case he
simply said he did not care for any
more army service. The recently pub
lished wish that the Kansans be allow
ed to come back quickly is not inter
preted by the war department as con-
veying any spirit of dissatisfaction. It
will be gratifed to the extent of the
departments ability in transport SER
vice.

THE KING OF TRAMPS.
He Lost a $4,000 Wager by His
Brides Desertion.

Fort Dodge, Ia, July 7.-E. II. Lee,
the king of tramps, who has obtained
a statewide notoriety because of a pc
culfar wager which he entered into with
a Minneapolis man a year ago, has
again come before the public by alleging
that it was the inconstancy of woman
that caused HIM to lose the wager
The wager was that Lee should walk
5000 miles, earn $500 and marry wife
all within the period of a year. The
last proposition presented the greatest
difficulty, but Lee started out blithely
to accomplish the task. After several
romantic adventures, in which young
girls showed a strange willingness to
wed the royal hobo, Lee managed to
marry a girl from Cedar Rapids, who
occupied a fairly prominent social posi-
ton Her parents were aghast at the
proceeding, and induced her to go to
Dakota where a divorce was recently
secured Lee tried in the short time re-
naming to win another consort, but
the effort was unavailing, and the king
of tramps lost his wager, which was
for 81, 900. He is now making arrange
ments to cross the continent, and will
write a book, in which he will relate
his experiences of the trip.

OFFICIAL DENIAL.
Philadelphia, July IA prominent
official close to President A. j. Cassatt
of the Pennsylvania road today denied
the published statement that the Penn
sylvania and the New York Central
railroads had entered a compact by
which the two systems had practically
become one.
To reporter of the Associated Press
he said:
any thought of consolidating the two
systems. The statement is simply a re-
hash of a story published some time
ago.
1.-The New York. Central is practically
a family railroad owned by the Van
derbiIts. while there are 10000 stock
holders in the Pennsylvania road. The
relations of the two companies are
pleasant, but as the Pennsylvania. rail-
road is competing with the New York
Central for western traffic the interests
of the two roads are not compatible and
consequently a consolidation or ANAL
gamatiOn would be out of the question -
Regarding Mr. Cassatt's presence at
the Boston & Albany lease meeting or
the New York CentraFs directors, the
official said:
Mr.. Cassatt made a personal call on
President Galloway Of the New York
Central on that day but was not pres
ent during the meeting of the board of
directors" He ridiculed the idea that
Mr.. Vanderbilt was instrumental in Sc
curing President Cassatt's appointment
and denied the statement that Mr.. Van
derbilt is the largest Stockholder in the
Pennsylvania railroad.
ANOTHER DENIAL.
New York, July 7.-COncerning the re-
port that the New York Ce atral system
and the Pennsylvania railway system
were to be merged, S R Galloway,
president of the New York Central rail-
road today said that the first he had
heard of the report was through a
newspaper article He had absolutely
nothing to say in regard to it.
