Frightful Suffering on the Ed
monton Trail.
IS MARKED BY SKELETONS
Forced to Cut Path for 500 Miles
Through Swamps and Under
brush -Four Months on
Short Rations.

Seattle, Wash, July 10.-Mr Fleming
of Philadelphia, who arrived here to-
night from Fort Wrangel, Alaska, on
the steamer Rosalie, is mute witness
of the suffering of the prospectors who
rushed to the Yukon gold fields over
the Edmonton route. Mr.. Fleming pre-
sents 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
a critical condition both physically and
mentally The physical pain he en-
dures constantly is so severe that for
the past 13 days he has scarcely slept.
After all his sufferings in the north
he has returned to civilization to die At
late hour tonight he was unable to
leave the steamer. His mental condi-
tion is such that he cannot tell a con-
nected and succinct story of his expert
ences
From his rambling sentences it is
learned that in February, 1898, he start
ed for Dawson from Calgary with a
party of IA which was made up at Cal
gary. The party had so horses and it
Californian whom Fleming formerly
knew in Colorado. Mason was drowned
in the Nelson river. A Bulgarian named
valley was accidentally shot and killed
by Frenchman at He'll Gate on the
Lower Laird river. Three others of the
party died at Dease lake of scurvy.
Fleming could not recall their names,
neither could he give the names Of any
other members of the party. The sur
viving members cut a trail for 500 miles
through underbrush. 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 while trying to take some
horses across the river In a scow.
Fleming says from the moment they
started out on the trail their sufferings
began. They opened trail and
bridged streams and swamps for 60
miles.
In the latter part of October they
lost their outfits while floating down
Lard river in boat. They procured
another boat that was also wrecked
For 36 hours they stood in the snow on
the bank of the river unable to go
either way on account of high banks
The thermometer stood at As degrees
below zero. The party was badly froz-
en-. When they returned to Crow river
they found themselves out of provisions
again. Six Of them went seven days
with only one cup of tea between them
They killed and ate their last dog,
When they reached Dease lake Flem-
ing became so Ill that he determined to
return. Dropsy had set in and his limbs
were useless. His companions pro-
cured 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 to-
wards civilization.
The next steamer from Wrangel will,
he thinks, bring number of sick.

UNACCOUNTABLE ERROR.
Captain Watkins Makes His Report of
the Stranding of the Paris.

New York, July 1O.-The report of
Captain Watkins of the stranding of
the American steamship Paris was
made public to-day by the local board
of steamboat inspectors. Captain Wat
kins makes no attempt to eyade re-
sponsibility for the accident. but on the
contrary says frankly that the strand
ing of the ship was the result of an
unaccountable error on his part. The
accident, he says, was not due to any
want Of thought or anxiety about his
vessel, but resulted from mistake he
made in calculating the position of the
ship.
The local inspectors have suspended
Captain Watkins license as master of
ocean steamers for two years.
Captain Watkins is still in charge of
the Paris and is acting in the interest
of the underwriters. to whom the ship
was turned over by the American line

proving Very Little.


Austin, Tex, July l0.-Governor Sayres
and his corps of assistants have spent the
entire day working in behalf of the flood
sufferers swarmng up and down the Bra
EOS river bottoms. Reports from the
stricken district are to the effect that
while the waters are rapidly receding,
the condition of the flood sufferers is i'm
proving very little.
The governor received official reports
from Velasco, the southernmost point.
that everything was in fairly good cond-
tion there, with % feet of water prevailing.
He has received telegram from the cit
izens of Hearne stating that they had
fought as long as they could, and would
now have to ask public aid, and that all
the property of the people of that sec
ton had been laid waste and that they
were starving and homeless, and asked
fo- both money food and clothing. Their
wants will be supplied at once

merous other portions of the flooded AS
tricts similar reports came pouring in

STEAMSHIP WRECKED.
All the Passengers and Grow Landed In
Safety,


Safety.
Halifax, N. s., July 1O.-The steamer
Portia, from New York for Halifax,
was wrecked during a dense fog early
this evening on Flynn's island, off SAM
bro, a point about Is miles to the east
ward of Halifax. The passengers and
crew, IFS all told, landed on the island
in the ships boats and all are comfort
ably housed there. No loss of life is re-
ported. AS soon as all the people had
safely landed, Captain Farrell started
for the mainland with a boats crew
and reached Sambro late tonight,
whence he sent the news Of the disas-
ter to Halifax by telephone Forum
ately the weather was moderate and
the sea running was not high, else the
landing of those on board could not
have been accomplished without great
danger and perhaps loss of life.
The steamer is already full of water
and a total wreck. The disaster occur
red shortly before p. m. The passen-
gers, of whom there are rs, were nearly
all tourists.
The steamer had cargo for this port
and st. Johns, N. F. The place where
she struck is known as Big Fish Shoal
and is one and half miles west of the
light on Sambro island.
When the steamer struck most of the
passengers were on deck. The Portia
tooh lHt SHOdl Will d uull,
shock that sent a thrill from stem to
STERN and brought all on deck to their
feet in alarm. The steamer came to a
sudden stop, and the engines, which
were Immediately reversed, refused to
pull her off. When her commander
found her filling rapidly he gave or
ders to abandon the ship. Few of the
passengers ventured below to recover
their valuable after they learned that
they were in danger. The Portia had
an unusually large number of passen-
gers on board and her state rooms We're
crowded.
The passenger list was lost, as we'll as
all the ships papers, and the names
cannot be obtained here tonight.
AS there were III altogether on board,
it is estimated that there was at least
so passengers, summer tourists on a
pleasure trip.
The Portia was an iron, schooner
rigged, screw steamer of 1872 tons reg
lister, go feet long, 81 feet wide and 23R
feet deep. She was built at New Castle
in 1884 and was owned in New York.
Two relief steamers have been sent
to the wreck and should arrive soon
after ] o'clock in the morning. Both
steamers carried supplies Of provisions,
as the passengers and crew, by the
time the schooner arrives, will proc
ably have consumed all the eatabies on
Inner Sambro. The Portals passengers
will be brought as soon as possible to
Halifax. ~-s-' - ~7
