Secretary Alger's departure from the
cabinet will leave in it only three of
those members who entered it at the
beginning of the administration-nam
ly, Messrs. Gage, Long and Wilson. The
number of changes that have occurred
in the two and a half years of its life
have been very unusual. Six cabinet
officers in all have resigned their port
folios, either TO retire to private life
or to accept other positions of honor
and trust at the hands of the president.
Those include Secretary of State Sher-
man, who went out because of ill health
and advanced age, and Day, who ac-

ALASKAN TALES Of WOE
A Party of Five Went Hunting for
a Mythical Diamond Mine.
ONLY ONE HAS RETURNED
One Man Died of Disease, An other Shot

Companions and the Whereabouts
OF the Fourth Are Unknown

Seattle, Wash, July 19.-Out of q
party of five which left New York five
years ago in search of a mythical dia-
mond mine on the western coast OF
Alaska, but one has returned. He is
H. c. Hoffman, a machinist, formerly
in the employ of the Baldwin Locomo-
tive works.
Three of the party, Walter Dodds of
Paterson, n. j., James Labelle of Can

disease The fate of the fourth member,
Henry Martin of New York, is un-
known.
According to Hoffman's remarkable
story, the party left San Francisco in
June, 1894, in small trading schooner
bound for a district lying between the
Kuaboo and Ikpik Pung rivers, known

Labelle did, French shot himself
through the heart, and Dodds, with an

a Russian Indian village near the
Black Hole country. The village was
made up of Russian refugees from the
prisons of Siberia. They robbed Martin
and Hoffman of everything of value
and kept them prisoners. Hoffman was
separated from Martin and taken to a
village where he was compelled to do
menial work. At the end of a month
he escaped and reached the small town
Of Sisinan on the Koyukuk river, where
he was i'll for several months. He new

Peaceful solution Likely.

St. Johns, N. F., July 19.-The New
foundland legislature closed to-day.
Rear Admiral Sir Frederick George
Denham Bedford. commander-in-chief
of the British North American and
West Indian station, paraded 1000 sea-
men and marines from the British fleet
for the occasion. Sir Edward Mccall
lum, in his speech closing the session,
observed that the termination of the
French shore modus vivendi at the
close of the year without any demand
by the imperial government for its re-
enactment, indicated the likelihood of
an early peaceful solution of the
whole difficulty.

A FEW SMALL CLEAN-UPS,

news of reported strike on the Big
Salmon river. A great many prospect
Urs from Dawson and vicinity are
rushing into the district. The Dirigo
had number of passengers from
Dawson who brought out a small
amount of gold dust. The purser of
the steamer estimates the amount on
the Dirigo at a quarter of a million.
The following news of clean-ups in the
Atlin district was brought down by
passengers from Atlin: j. Wilson and

hURRYlNG TO GET AWAY.
A Perfect Exodus of Miners Down the
Yukon River.

Seattle. July 19-The following ad-
vices concerning the exodus of miners
down the Yukon river We're brought
here to-day by Jack Carr of this city.
Carr brings information from the Yu-
kon as far. down as Nulato, the Ia
nan. Rampant and Koyukuk:
At Tanan Carr observed from 100
to $50 men going down the river in
small boats. They were coming from
Dawson and other points. The trans
pOrtation companies We're taking down
1000 to $500 men every trip of their
steamers. There were estimated to be
1000 men up the Koyukuk, 1,250 of
whom would go down the river to Cape
Nome or St. Michael.
In the vicinity of Tanan and on the
away. Fifty-two steamers We're quar-
tered up the Tanan last winter. This

belonging to a Michigan party. With
it went a saw mill and complete

sale of naptha launch that cost
$500 in New York for $3.50 With this
launch went one years provisions for
seven men.
Provisions can be bought at Tanan

he has borne for nearly two years and
a half; he has aged many years in
the opinion of his personal friends and
is in need of rest. He proposes to de-
part for the Northwest and spend some
time in the lumber camps belonging 10
him and then to pay visits to his chill
dren. These will occupy his time until
well along into next fall. About polit-
ical matters the secretary does not
speak now. but 1t may be fairly sur
missed that he will then be ready, in
view of his already announced decision,
to take such part in the Michigan SEN
atorial contest as conditions at that
time will warrant.
Ayers Successor.
The closest inquiry fails to elicit any
informa ton as to the intentions of the
president respecting the appointment
of a successor to Mr.. Alger as secre-
tary of war. Names are mentioned,
but they are only those which have al
ready been suggested with more or less
of plausibility in the press without Sc
curing either confirmation or denial
from any well-informed persons. The
members of the cabinet are all disin-
clined to talk about the selection,
though one did say the president had
made no mention of a name to him and
he believed that no decision had yet
been reached He also conveyed the
impression that no appointment would
be made Immediately, but that Mr..
Meiklejohn would be allowed to direct
affairs for some time to come.
Among the names which have been
mentioned from time to time in this
direction, when talk of Secretary AL
gers forthcoming resignation had been
rife, have been those of Gen. Horace
Porter of New York, now ambassador
To Lroy, raIt nf Nar,
York; Gen. Harrison Gray Otis and AS
sstant Secretary Meiklejohn. The
name of General Corbn has been men
toned in connection with an ad interim
appointment, pending the selection of
permanent occupant of the office. This
gossip also included questions of local
ity and the opinion was expressed in
some Well-posted quarters that the Sc
lection would be made from the West.
All this, however, is mere speculation,
and it seems probable from the fact
that the resignation was submitted
only to-day, that the president has not
had time to canvass the situation and
make a selection.
AS to the reports that General Cor
bin would be secretary ad interim, an
official close to the general said there
was no basis for the report; that the
president had never contemplated nam
ing General Corbin ad inter m. and if
such an appointment was rendered, it
would not be accepted There was
some talk also that General Corbin
might be given the portfolio perma-
nently, although this was regarded as
improbable even among General Cor
bins friends. There would be prece-
dent for such a course, however, as in
the case of General SChofield's cabinet
service.
At tho White House.
The news of the resignation caused
a buzz of comment this evening in all
public places, but at the white house
there was no evidence throughout the
evening that any unusual event had
occurred. The president went for a
drive with his niece Mrs. Duncan, late
in the afternoon, handling the leins

Griggs Is Suggested

The transfer of Attorney General
Griggs from the department of justice
TO the war department has been sug-
gested by those who are figuring on
Secretary Alger's successor tonight. 1t
Is urged that the largely increased legal
questions which are constantly coming
before the war department as a conse-
quence of our new possessions make it
desirable that the executive officer
should be a man Of legal attainments
and experience. In this connection the
name of Elihu Root, the well-known
New York lawyer is mentioned. James

unteer establishment and governor of
the province of Matanzas, Cuba, is also
