Daily at White Horse
Rapids.

SKAGWAY. June l3. via Seattle, June
IA large amount Of gold dust and mug
gets was landed al White Horse rapids
las, Friday, June ,, from the first three
steamers to reach that point from Daw.
son ciyy. over one ton was officially
checked of by the officers when making
the transfer from steamer to steamer.
The remainder was divided in packages,
ranging from 10 to Is pounds, carried by
more than 80 passengers.
The concensus Of opinions gathered
from almost every man reaching Skag-
way was TO the effect that the output
from the Klondike distAct this year
would be between $4,000 90 and So 900.
Every hosel safe in Skagway last night
was crammed full of gold dust, with a
watchman on guard all night.
This gold is brought out largely by mer-
chants, with only few miners, who
have been in the Kl0ndike all the way
from one year to three years.
The steamer Columbia was wrecked
June . by striking a rock six miles be-
low White Horse rapids. She is a total
loss.
The ice is still troublesome. The Nora
on her way down to the White. Horse
went through two miles Of nine-nch ice,
At CaribOo crossing the Nora passed
three stranded steamers, the Australian,
Clifford Sieton and Cleaner.

ENGLISH SCHEME OF
ARBITRATION OUTLINED.
improbable Il win BE Adopted-Tht
American and Russian Most
Favored.

NEW YORK. June l6.-The correspond
ent OF the Herald at The Hague gives
the following outline OF the English ar
bitration proposal, 1t provides for the
organization Of a permanent tribunal Of
international arbitration, which shall be
accessible at all times and shall be gov
erned by code Of arbitration to be pro-
vlded for by the peace conference after
that purpose. \ permanent central Of
fee shah be established with a perma-
nent secretary and archIvist, and a suit
able stan to serve as a medium Of com-
munication for the assembling Of the
tribunal.
Each sgnatory power is to appoint two
jurists or pubncists OF high learning and
integrity to act as judges for the tri-
bunal. Any OF the signatory powers de-
string to have recourse to the tribunal
tOf ittle ptdCtlul ctNAltlhSHb Va NlllSi-
ences shall give notice of Its desire to
the secretary at the central office, and
afterwards select from the list OF men,
bers of the tribunal the number OF ar
b!ters stipulated for in the arbitration
agreement with permission to adjoin to
them any other person, The litigants
themselves will fix the date for the ass
sembllng OF the tribunal,
This outline shows that the English
proposals are most ame, simply pro-
pounding the principle of arbitration and
not making it compulsory in any way,
Germany would probably prefer the En-
glish scheme, but it is believed the cons
ference, not wishing to be trifing with
useless work, as already wired, will agree
upon a compound of much more precise
and serious matter, binding the American
and Russian schemes,

 About the little village of Ca- naan, nesfling among the hills, there fingers still certain flavor of the olden time. Many of the original houses are standing, whose sturdy oaken frames have for near century and a half withstood the ravsges of time. The very atmosphere about these old places is charged with romance, and the great, low-oeilinged rooms, with their heavy traverse beams of oak. contain still many quaint reminders of Colonial days.
 The old tavern house, built by Cap tain Isaac Lawrence in 1751-the oldest house now standing in the village-is now beautiful residence, and the "oldest inhabitsnt" delights to recall for the delectstion of the stranger the tales his fathers father used to tell of the merry doines under it's hospitable roof. The old Douglas tavern, also s little way beyond the village, is still standing many years ago into staid farmhouse.
