SEATTLE, Jan. S.-According to late
edvices from Dawson, the United
States Government will be called on
to relieve INDECENT miners in the klon-
dixie. The Dawson Nugget, under
date of December 7th, says there is a
strong movement on foot at Dawson
to send a representative to Washing
ton for the purpose of enlisting the
United States Government in the cause
of aiding in remedying the great dis
tress which prevails among the miners
crowed with indigents, and the finances
of those institutions will not allow OF
any more wholesale charity.
The Yukon Council declares itself al
ready out of funds to care for the IN

of the sick come in regularly but IN
small amounts, while at this present
moment nothing less than $4,000 per
month will come anywhere near taking
ordinary care OF the poor fellows With
out money or property. The dreaded
scurvy has made its appearance, and
none but those connected with the hos
pitfalls know of it's extent
The fact is, the amount of distress
here has outgrown the total charity OF
the place. and nothing less than $780,
coo will relieve the distress of this
winter. Food is here in plenty, but it
takes money to buy it. A memorial will
be sent to Washington asking Congress
