Rich Placer Ground at the Head of
Mcmillan River.

Seattle, Wash, June 27.-Chas. P.
Osborne of San Francisco, who arrived
here today from Dawson claims to have
found a, rich placer ground at the head
waters of Mcmillan river. He says it is
a terrible country to get into. With his
partner. Smithson of Los Angeles, he
travelled I'd the river 400 miles. He
cleaned up nearly one thousand dollars
before they were compelled to come out
by lack of provisions. While in there
they met a party of six who left Ed
monitor over four years ago and winter
ed on the Peel river. Their clothes
were in rags and they were almost
skeletons. Three of the party had died.
The leader of the party, a man named
Jackson, from New Jersey, said they
had been held up by Indians and rob-
bed of a good part of their outfits. From
that time they lived on dog flesh and a

and we can offer a larger number of
other inducements and attractions than
any other city in the country. The
purpose of this letter is to inform you
that New York wants the convention,
and that we are going to have it, if in
ducementS will count. We are prepared
to meet any and all demands incident
to the convention, and in this respect
no other city will care to go so far as
we can and will go. We request, there
fore, that, until we can communicate
with you further in the matter, you
will kindly refrain from committing
yourself to any other city"
1t is hardly probable that the silver
leaders will consider the surroundings
congenial for the advancement of their
theory and will object to having a
platform drawn amid such unfriendly
environments. Apart from the mere
question of politics, New York is situa-
ted about as unfavorably as San Fran
cisco, and no political party would be
willing to give the convention to the
metropolis of the Pacific coast The
section that would suffer from the alb
sence of supporters at a convention in
New York is the west, and the Dem
ocratic national committee will hardly
overlook such a point

TRANSFERS ARE STRANDED
Penniless in New Orleans After Ser
vice in Cuba.

New Orleans, La, June 27.-Of the
sixty-six teamsters who reached this
steamship Clinton from Havana, fifty
seven are still in New Orleans. Their
plight is pitiable in the extreme. They
are penniless, homeless and without
food. These men served faithfully in
Cuba, and there is not one of them who
is not the holder of an honorable dis
charge from the service.

Last night thirty odd members of the

they had no place to sleep. Some SYM
pathetic citizens who happened to be
present bought a ham, the superinten-
dent of police and some of the officers
of the force invested in a lot of baker s
bread, and the men supped on sand
witches and ice water. Then they were
given permission to sleep in the station,
and eagerly awaited themselves of the
privilege.
They had been told to visit the quar-
termaSter'S office this morning at 10
o'clock, and promptly at the hour
named they presented themselves. They
were informed by a clerk that transpor-

up much it was perfectly evident to

If every man could live an outdoor life,
passing his time with gun and hShing-rod
and canoe, there would be less illness in
the world. Unfortunately, the demands of
modern civilization will permit very few
men to live this ideal, healthful life
Many men have to pass the day shut up
in Offices and stores, and the nights in close
apartments IN crowded cities. They get
little outdoor exercise. One of the results
of this unhealthy, sedentary living is the
awful prevalence of that dread disease
consumption Oue-sixth of all the deaths
each year are due to thSs relentless enemy.

ease incurable. It is now generally known
that there IS marvellous medicine that for

TEA AND TOBACCO.
Ending the Life of Alister Digney in
Bellevue Hospital

New York, June 27.-Suffering from
the excessive use of tobacco and an in
ordinate desire for tea, Alister Digney
is a patient in Bellevue hospital. He
went to the institution on last Wednes-
day from Mills hotel No 1. He was
supposed at the time to be suffering
from malaria, and the doctors treated
him for that complaint until Thursday,
when DR.. Charles Carter learned from
Digney that he was an excessive
smoker and tea drinker.
Digney told the physician he drank Is
cups of tea and smoked on an average
a pound of Egyptian tobacco every day.
He said he had been smoking for II
years, and for two years was a tea
faster in India. He gave up that oc-
cupation a few years ago, owing to his
failing health, but could not give up
tea drinking.
Digney was born in Calcutta, India.
AZ years ago. His father, Captain John
Digney, was an English army officer,
and was killed in the second Burmese
campaign. Young Digney was educa-
ted in the schools of Scotland, London,
Berne and Heidelberg, and also receiv-
ed a degree in medicine. He can speak
English, French, German, Russian,
Greek, Eindustanee and Arabic.
At the outbreak of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war he went to Cuba, and during
the campaign published a paper in
Santiago. He got malaria in Cuba,
and returned to this country on the
four weeks ago. He became acquaint-
ed with DR.. Clark soon after his ar
rival here, and told the physician he
was coming to the hospital to rest and
get cured of the disease.
The doctors hope to cure the man.
The nurses have received instructions
to refuse tobacco or tea to the patient
although he Graves for them.
