Washington. July 12.-The secre-
tary of agriculture has been appealed
to on behalf of the food sufferers Of

ers affected at $4,000. He says they
are in great distress.

DIED ON THE TRAIL
Terrible-S Story of a Returned
Goldseeker.
FORCED TO LIVE ON DOG MEAT
gary to Dawson, Returns
Homo to Die.

seattle, July I'm. Fleming, OF
Philadelphia. who arrived here tonight
from Fort Wrangel. Alaska, on the
steamer Rosalie. ia q mute witness of
the suffering of prospectors who rushed
to the Yukon gold fields over the Ed
monitor route. Mr.. Fleming presents
sad sight, being badly bloated with
dropsy. He has gone through great
physical and mental suffering. The
successive attacks of fever, scurvy,
pneumonia and dropsy have left him
in critical condition. both physically
and mentally. The physical pain he
endures constantly is SO severe that for
the past Is days he has scarcely slept.
After all his sufferigs in the tn he
has returned to civilization to die. AT
late hour tonight he was unable to
leave the steamer.
His mental condition is such that he
cannot tell a connected and succinct
story of his experiences. From the
ram bling sentences it is learned that in
February, 1898, he started for Dawson
from Calgary with party Of IA, which
was made up at Calgary. The party
had 80 horses, and it was captained by
John Mason, an old Californian. whom
Fleming formerly knew in Colorado.
Mason was drowned il the Nelson river.
A Bulgarian named VALLEY was acct
dentally shot and killed by French
man at He'll Gate, on the LIVER Lizard
river. Three others of the party died
at Dease lake of sourvy. Fleming
could not recall their names, neither
could he give the names of any men,
bers of the party. The surviving men,
bers cut trail for 500 miles through
the under brush. For four months they
lived on short rations. Nearly all
their horses died, and much Of their
equipment was lost.
Captain Mason was drowned about
August 4, while trying to take some
horses across the river in scow.
Fleming says from the moment they
started ont on the trail their sufferinga
began. They opened trail and
bridged streams and swamps for 600
miles. In the latter part of October
they lost their outfits. while floating
down Lizard river in boat. They pro-
cured another boat that was also
wrecked. For 50 hours they stood in
the snow on the bank of the river. un-
able to go either way on account oil
high banks. The thermometer stood
at As degrees below zero. The party
was badly frozen. When they reached
Crow river they found themselves out
of provisions again. Six of them wen.
seven days with only one cup of tea
between them. They killed and ate
their last dog. Wien they reached
Dease lake, Fleming became so i'll that
he determined to return. Dropsy had
set in and his limbs were useless. His
companions procured horse for him.
and with great difficulty he rode 80
miles to Telegraph creek. From there
he was taken to Wrangel in canoe.
Fleming says he does not know what
will become of the rest Of the party.
Some of them, he thinks, will come
back at once. as they can never get
through to Dawson. He says he often
passed men dragging sick men on sleds
toward civilization. The next steamer
from Wrangel, he thinks. will bring q
number of sick.

the arrival Of the steamers.
Along the water front proper all
was excitement. Whistles and bells
kept up continual din. The roofs
and warehouses were crowded with
people. and from scores of flagpoles
streamed into the breeze the Stars and

cheered like mad. The band on the

created pandemonium.
