The steamer Amur, Capt. LaBlond, ar- rived at noon yesterday from Victoria, Vancouver and ComoX with 200 tons of earea anal foriv-nina nass-"ss@rs She '''iil sail for Victoria at o'clock this afternoon
 Snow was encountered nearly all the way from Vancouver to Lynn canal. The ship got away from Victoria February IS, from Vancouver at G o'clock the next morning, and from ComoX Friday mom' ing.
 There was snow storm at wrlngel so thick that the ship had to lie at anchor twenty.elght hours for favorable oppor> tunily to pass through.
 The American steamer Humboldt and the British steamer Suteh, were met at Wrangel Nlrows Tuesday night, The Humboldt was three hours ahead of the Clutch, and from the fact that the Clutch got away from this port six or eight hours later than the Humboldt and is a slower craft than the Humrodt, it is thought the Humboldt was compelled to lie at anehol for the passing of the thick weather SC that she could make the run through the Nauows with safety.

MEAT COMBINE BROKEN
Beef and EgEs Cheap in Dawson
 Great Rush to Nome.

Dawson meat combine has gone to pieces. The price of both meat and eggs there Is declining. Meat for awhile sod as high as 7s cents pound, but now choice cuts retail at Go cents. Eggs have dropped from s to s2.so per dozen. w. H. Shadler who left Dawson Februaryo, and mushed out with Thomas Cherry. brings the news. Mr. Smaller last night said at the Portland:
 "Dumbolton had corner on the beef in Dawson, but he could not maintain 1t. The movement of great quantities of meat In from Skagway made it advisable for Mr. Dumbolton to cut the price and unload before the stocks from the outside could arrive and enter the market in competition with his.
 While beef has been so high in Daw- son, the people there have been living on caribou and moose which s-lls from thirty to forty cents per pound. Hundreds of these monarehs of the meadows have been killed at the headwaters of the Klondlke river by professional hunters, and brought down the river on sleds a distance Of Iso miles.
 Spectators taking meat into Dawson now will loose heavily on it. The market will be glutted.
 we met 1. Il. Miller's hig band of eat- tie four miles beyond White Horse last Sunday. fear he will not meet with great success in taking the animals in. Their feet were becoming sore even when we met them and 1t had already been nee essarv to kill eight of the band.
 Numerous teams are on the trail with supplies which believe will have a hard time In getting through, and probably will never get through. They are too heavily laden. The road Is hillv in places, and at the best. they will have to double the teams. or make relays over the heavy places. Although the road has places hard for the heavily laden freight teams to trav' 1t Is in excellent e.ndtlon for lighter teams and general travel.
 "Evervone In Dawson is preparing to go to Nome. Every merchant outside of the big trading companies is tilking of selling out or closing out and joining the rush in the spring. The town will be deserted bv its present merchant class.
 The arrival of the first two men in Daw. sou from Nome over the ice created sens sation and revival in Nome fever. Fifty people left Dawson for Nome tn. next day,
 "There will be no scarcity of supplies at points between Dawson and Nome. The trading companies have stores at frequent intervals that carry large stocks.

Several Companies of Large Capital
 to Go Right Ahoad.

L. H. Plumb, western assn,N,f .he At lin Hydraulic company, an English con eem having several claims on Birch creek arrived veSterdlv at noon, two and halt days from Atlin. He Is on his way to Se- attle. his home. Mr. Plumb. while at the Monddmin, said:
 "Our company Is preparing for exten- sive hvdraulle work on Birch creek ihiS season, but lt will be August before we shall be ready for operation. | should say that other large hydraulic companies which are to operate in that district, will not be ready to do much before August. This Is because of the great amount of dead work preparatory to the actual min Ing operations.
 "l know of six or eight big hvdraullC companies that are to operate in the Atlin country. can say nothing specific in re- gard to them or their contemplated work, for the reason that my own company has absorbed my time. However, there Is nc question that hydraulic enterprises or great capital are in the camp and are determined to go right ahead with operations"

Men Arrive on the Steamer
 Amur to Build It.
ONE THOUSAND MILES
wm Connect Skagway and Dawson With tho Canadian Pacific Tele- graphic Systom.

A party of twenty-five men headed by A. BOueller, civil engineer in charge, ar rived yesterday enroute to Atlln, to begin preliminary work on the construction of the great telegraph line the Dominion gov emment is to build 1000 miles through an isolated region to connect the Dawson tel- egr iph line with the outside world,bv way of Atlln and QuesnelIe, and which will at the same time put Skagwav In connection with all the civilized parts of the globe.
 The party came on the steamer Amur, and will leave this morning for Bennett, whence it will proceed direct to Atlin. Sup:. C. B. Charleson, who had charge Of the construction or the Dawson-Bennett line last season. and who is at the head of operations on the present enterprise, wll! arrive next week on the steamer Tees with additional men and supplies for the force that is to work south from Atlln.
 Two thousand two hundred and eighty packages arrived on the Amur yesterday for the use of the party. Tine supplies in- clude everything from food for men to feed for horses, and the necessary tools and ma terslS.
 The party that got here yesterday ha: been sent out early so that it can take sup plies In and cache them along the proposed route of construction while snow Is on tho ground, and inland transportation Is casio than in summer.
 Cabins will be built during the remaind CT of the wintr, and hid ready for th' accommodation of the construction crews just as soon as It becomes suitable for the er.ctloh of poles and the stringing of lh' wires. Horses are to be brought up fol work on the next Tees.
 Among the men in the crew arriving yesterday is a surveyor, carpenters, axe men and laborers. The men come iron all parts of the Dominion. Some ar' French Canadians from Montreal or vlein' tv, some are from Vancouver and some from Chilllwaek.
 The work is to begin from Ashcroft al we'll as from Atlin, and to continue boil north sn ] south at the same time.

NO EXCITING NENS
 FROM SOUTH AFRICA Great Expectations Based
 on Roberts Strategy.
BUT NO BRITISH GAIN
Ladysmith and Kimberly Still Dn- reltsvsd-Ceou Rhodes Held by tho Bosr Army for Ransom.

For several days there has been no news of any battles In the war between the British and the Boers. and no reliable news of any advance the British have really made in the path to victory. That Butler had been driven back once more south of the Tugela river, and that his third at- tempt to relieve Ladysmlth had been a total failure; and that both Ladysmith and Kimberley were in sore straits. was the news brought bv the steamers before the arrival of the Amur yesterday.
 The news that the Amur brought in the British Columbia newspapers of the sth Is not much more encouraging to the sym pathlzers with Great Britain. The Lon don newspapers arc hopeful, but the effort to express this hope Is too apparent to carry with it any force likely to beget con. fidenee in the outcome. The tact is, there has been little accomplished recently by the British. and while what has been done by them has been made the most of, noth- ing whatever Is 10 be learned of what measures the Boers may have taken to eounteraet the military maneuvres of Field Marshal Roberts.
 lt seems certain that Ladysmlth is still unrelieved and that the B CTS are still bombardlng Kimberley. Dr. Jameson is one of the notables shut up in Ladysmlth and Cecil Rhodes has fallen into the hands of the Boers. This fact has once more at- taehtd interest to his name in England, and ;here Is an apparent solctude for his fu- ture. pr. Leyd, the European representa-. tive of the Boers, when questioned in re- gard to this, said that lt was not the pGr- poee of the Boers to kill Rhodes, but that they would hold him until an indemnity of ten million dollars for the Jameson raid was paid. Ce:ll Rhodes is rich, and he has many wealthy admirers, so that. de. spite the obloquy cast upon him some time ago, this immense sum could be eas, ily raised. -

Malor d'A. :. Strickland Is another of the officers of the mounted police ordered to report to headquarters at Regina, N. w. r., for service In South Africa. He came ln on the train yesterday, and as he had only started from Taglsh the morning be- fore. he may be said to have trade a quick trip
 The trail. he says. Is splendid from here to Bennett, and from what he has heard It Is In similar condition all the way to Daw son. He declares that two-holse sleigh can travel all the way to Dawson with a load of a ton and get there in from ten to eleven days.
 In regard to the two men held so long at TagIsh on suspicion of being concerned In the Claws murder, he says that the man Graves, whose real name is Blackstone, has been discharged, there being not the slightest evidence against him,
 As to O'erlen also, there was no direct evidence that he was connected with the matter, but there were suspicious elrcum> stances. On these he was not held, but on more direct evidence that he has been guilty of robbing scows. Upon this lat ter charge he has been sent to Fort SeIkirk for trial.
 The major says Miller lost eight of his big herd of cattle between Bennett and Tagish. l hey were Griven to water and fell in.
 He could not speak too highly of the splendid condition of the trail all the way to Dawson.

the operations of the professionals who
sought to make a days trade. There
was a very marked lack of the orders

COTTON.
New York Oct. 3O.-Speculation in cot
ton was about moderately active today.
Operators were inclined to hesitate in
making new ventures. Public cables were
unsatisf actory, and with no frost in the
cotton BELT the local contingent sold quite
freely on the opening call, causing de-
cline of 800 points. The selling was also
influenced by full receipts, although later
in the session renewed talk of a smaller
movement became factor in turning the
market Indications of cold weather in
the Northwest also checked selling and
caused covering. Prices moved up 12@15
points from the lowest figures, but for
the most part the local trade was light
while public speculation was at no time
a feature. After the opening decline there
was foreign and Southern buying in ad-
ditionto the local demand, mostly based
on cold weather forecasts and rumors that
the Liverpool curb was excited and
higher. Estimated large receipts for to-
morrow failed to check the demand which
was more active in the afternoon than
early in the day, and from good par
ties. The close of market was generally
steady at a net rise of 1 to points.
