Thousands of Tons of Cargo Being
Sent to Dawson just Now to Escape
the Troubles of the Late Season.
Volume as Heavy as Last Fall.

Northbound passenger business BY the
steamers coming to the port of Skagwav
from British Columbia and the Sound is
not SO good as it has been at some times
the present wear. And this in the face of
cutrates on the Yukon river steamers.
But the freight movement through the
Skagway gateway to the interior was
never heavier. Ship after ship keeps ar
irving from dav to dav, and sometimes
two to three get in single day, nearly all
heavily laden with cargo for Dawson and
other Yukon basin ports The movement
right now is as heavy as it was last fall
when the White Pass & Yukon railroad
was bockaded. But there is no blockade
now. This is because the road has more
motive power and more cars than then.
An average of $50 to 900 tons of freight
a dav is being carried over the road and
freight trains are running davaaand. night
Five freight trains were ON the road be-
tween Skagway and Bennett at midnight
night before last, and more were to be
ordered out before morning,
The river steamers are now connecting
regularly at White Horse and freight is
being carried right through to Dawson
without interruption. However, word
comes that the river is falling, and it is be-
cause of the fear of the approach the
close of navigation that shipments are be
ing hurried to the interior.
The Canadian Pacific Navigation Co.
has the extra steamers Tees and Princess
Louise coming to Skagwav, it is said. The
greater part of the freight coming here is
from Victoria and Vancouver.
The steamers Clutch and Amur arrived
from British Columbia Yesterday bringing
in aggregate nearly 1000 tons of freight
the greater part of which was consigned to
the interior.
The Amur brought 80 passengers 621
tons of merchandise, a. cattle and horses.
The Clutch brought 20 passengers and 900
tons of freight. The Amur is from Vic
tora and Vancouver, and the Clutch from
Vancouver direct. The Clutch brought the
latest papers, having left Vancouver the
morning of August II.

Mounted Policemen Lose
Their Lives Near Tagish.
THEIR CANOE OVERTURNS
Victims We're Corporal johnson and
Constable O'Brien, the Latter Re-
Gently Recruited-Both Supposed
to be From Eastern Canada.

Two Northwest Mounted Policemen
were drowned near Tagish Saturday. They
were Corporal Johnson and Policeman
O'Brien.
The men were out in a canoe, and ii is
understood heavy wind was blowing at
the time the accident occurred. Whether
the wind carried the canoe over, or whether
it capsized from some other cause is not
known. However, it is certain the men
were lost.
The news was brought to the citv last
evening BY Conductor Murray Miles of the
passenger train. He got the information
from DR.. Paree. The doctor Stated the
bodies had not been recovered.
Mr.. Miles also learned that Corporal
Johnson had been in the police service for
a long time, but that O'Bren was lately
recruited.
ssJSss wners6s sasomss 81 the rwo' vic
tins are IS not known. but E. S. Busby.
in charge of Canadian customs at this port
thinks the men must be from eastern Can
ada. Quite a number of police were re-
gently taken to the interior who were from
Regina. and a number of the party, IT is
understood, were for Tagish post.
The report of the drowning was received
at the office of Superintendent Rogers OF
the railroad last evening by wire. 1t came
in response to inquiry from the superln-
tendant. However. the man at Caribou
knew nothing definite as to the case.
The name of j. O'Brlen is on the hoteI
register of the Occidental, of Skagwav
under date of july 81, with that OF thirt,
mounted policemen who were in the house
at that time. They had just arrived from
the south on the way to Tagish, and 1t Is
supposed the O'Brien who was lost Is that
whose name Is on the register. He regis
tered from Regina.

tempt was made Saturday morning at
2 o'clock to blow up the old Harvard
pump with a dynamite bomb. 1t the

great loss of life to the slumbering
students.
The bomb which was taken out was
six inches long and three in diameter,
and from the ashes of the burnt fuse
the fuse must have been at least two
and half feet long. As it was there
was only two and half inches of the
fuse left when it was extinguished.
1t was discovered by Mills, one of the
night watchmen when he, was coming
out of Hollis hall. A man was seen
in the yard ten minutes before walk-
ing toward the pump. but no partic-
ular attention was paid to him. There
is no clew to the perpetrator of the
deed.
