INDIAN TRIALS ENDED
Kichitoo, Juck Lane, Mark Clanet and Dav-kan-teen Save Their Lives on Compromise--Al1 Con- viots Will Be Sentenced Today.

The cases of the Indians charged with the murder of Bert and Florence Horton came to a sudden termination yesterday afternoon when Kitchitoo, luck Lan. Mark Clanet and DayKan- teen plead guilty to murder in the second degree. This action was taken by consent of the Indians and their counsel and the district attorney.
 Negotiations looking to this termina- tion had been going on for an entire day or more.
 The evidence in the case of Kitchitoo who was put on trial for his life was all in before the arrival of the noon hour, when court adjourned until one o'clock. When the hour of meeting arrived, court was promptly adjourned for another hour. This proco eding was to give all the defendants time to fully consider the proposition of pleading guilty of lesser crime than murder in the first degree, By determining to so act they saved their lives at least.
 At two o'clock the four Indians were all in court and each Tn turn withdrew his plea of mot guilty' and plead guilty to murder in the second deereed Before accepting the plea, Judge Brown explained the severity of the punishment for the crime. The plea was accepted and ordered entered in each case except that of Kitchitoo who was on trial, and the other Indians were lead back to the jail. The jury was then called in, and instructed by | the court as to the action of KitchitOo, wbith he said was very satisfactory. He then instructed them to bring in a verdict of murder in the second de- gree, and naming Geo. w. Harvey as foreman, handed him prepared yer dict The jury readily assented and was discharged after receiving the thanks of the court.
 The court at once announcrd that all of the prisoners who had been convict ed at this term of court would be sen fenced at 9 o'clock today. The list in- cludes the following; Jack Blonde and Frank Short, convicted of counterfeit ing; An Loui. rape; Jim Hanson, murd' or, first degree; Jim Williams, Kitch- itoo, Juck Lane, Mark Clanet, Day Kan Teen, murder, second degree.
 Of the Indians implicated in the ter rible Horton tragedy, Paddy Unahotch, George White, Dave Clanet, Qua na ish, Johnny Kesh and Martha Hansen escape all punishment.

SEA OF TRAVELLERS
 SURG|NG THROUGH Hundreds of KlOndikers Coming and Going.
HARVEST FOR ALL BOATS
City of Seattle to Sail This Morning
 With 325 Passengers. Many in
 COts--Cutch Leaves Crowded Danube. Dirigo, Topeka do Well.

Yesterday was one of the livelest days of the port of SkagWav this year. The incoming of large fleet of steamers from the Sound and British ports. and heavy influx of passengers from the interior gave the greater amount of life.
 The Clutch came in the evening before witq forty-siX passengers. and the Danube with thrtv-eight. The Dirigo made port yesterday afternoon with sixty passengers, and the Seattle got here last evening with eighty-five, and only the day before the Topeka was in with a large number.
 The stream of travellers from the interior is even heavier. The Seattle will sail this morning at six o'clock with 32s passengers, many sleeping in cots. The Clutch got away at six o'clock last evening with ioc passengers, all she could accommodate first class. She knew many were coming on the evening train, but also knew that klondikers do not travel second class, so committed the unusual act of getting out just before the train came in
 The Danube had booked d good number for the south, and the Dirigo may also do we'll. The Dirigo will leave at p. m. today. The Topeka had fifty out Monday.
 The steamers coming now are also we'll laden northbound. The Seattle brought 2so tons of merchandise and 100 cattle, tha latter being for H. 1. Miller, the Dawson trader, who with his wife was passenger. The steamer also brought north 500 sheep and 100 hogs for Hanlev X Dalton. who will take them to the interior, 1t is said, to supply the government.
 The Clutch brought full cargo, the Dirigo brought 500 tons. and the Danube 300 tons of general freight.

John c. Held Severely Censured
 For Disregarding Instructions.

Republicans ard democrats alike were thoroughly astonished yesterday upon learning that John c. Held, dele gate to the Philadelphia convention, had disregarded the instructions of the Juneau convention which had endorsed John C. Price for national committee man and had himself app inted to that position.
 The consensus of opinion was that unless some unforeseen contingency arose by which it became imperative that the member of the national com mittee for Alaska should be on the ground, MT. Held is guilty Of one of the most perfidious and treacherous acts known to political history. The opinion is freely expressed that unless Mir. Held can give valid reason, which to us seems very improbable. he should be kicked bodily out of the republican party. Alaskans have no room for traitors.

FLOOD OF COLD
 D[LUGES SKAGNAY Great Rush of Precious
 Metal From KlOndike. MILLION ON ONE TRAIN Single Shipment Worth s75O,OOO, and Belonging to the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Arrives in the City-Lippy Brings s25O,OOO.
MILLION ON ONE TRAIN

The flood gates of the marvellous Klon- dike have burst for the season of 1900, and out through the great gateway of Skag- way is pouring mighty stream of virgin yellow wealth.
 Those who frequent the depot nearly any evening at the arrival of the train can see grips, iron boxes, canvas bags and other kinds of packages filled with the precious metal.
 The train arriving last evening brought, perhaps. million dollars worth of klon- dike gold. The bulk of it comprised shipment of 3Ioo pounds. probably the largest which ever came this way. It arrived in the charge of Mcdonald Potts, general manager of the Klondike -Corpor- ation, who will take it through to Seattle, on the steamer City of Seattle, leaving here today. This shipment belongs to the Canadian Bank of Commerce and alone is worth the snug fortune of three quarters of a million dollars. It is packed in nine iron boxes, each about the size of ordinary kerosene cans. Two strong men had all they could do to lift anyone of the boxes last night when they were taken from the train. On each end of each box were two good handles. so the men could take hold of them with both hands. Even with the two men each lifting with both hands they abored hard, and were barely able to walk few feet with the precious load, It would be a Sandow or Sampson who could carry away one of the boxes alone. A man of common strength would never be able to steal such treasure whole. This shipment was stored last night in the vault of the new railroad headquarters building. This shipment came up the river on the Ora.
 MT. Potts says that not all the gold is coming out over the Upp:r river and Skag- way route this year, but that a large amount is still going down the river, and that millions of Klondike dust will be credited to the output of Nome. H. Soh. mer, of the railroad, accompanied Mr.. Potts from White Horse to Skagwav.
The daily morning Alaskan., 1900-06-27

Other shipments that came on the Ora are scattered largely among the 100 pass engers whom she brought ID the river. Nearly every man had a poke, ranging from short and plump to long and round.
 T. s. Lippy, the owner of famous No. I6 on Eldorado, arrived night before last with half ton of dust, worth in round numbers S2so,ooo. He came up on the Yukoner. Coming on the same boat was Fritz Koke, who is credited with having over sIoo. 900. M. DeLobe and M. Mer- cier. Frenchmen, both brought out good sums. Before going i to Nlondike and making his strike Mercier WIS working in Montana a few years ago for 3dollar day.
 When Lippy's treasure was unloaded at the depot people stood about almost en> tranced in the presence of the potent wealth. The very presence of the great wealth cast silence over the assembly that was itself an effectual hush. The gold was packed in insignificant tags of canvas and occupied puny space of few cubic feet on the platform. Beside it stood the owner, stern and watchful, yet com posed, and with him was an escort of sturdy miners. They carried "a small ar senal, and had train robbers appeared it would have been lead or gold.
 The City of Seattle will probably take million or million and a half dollars from Skagwav today
 The Topeka, going Monday took at least SIoo,ooo. And the Clutch, the Amur and the Dirgo all had share.

Comes 10 Grief While Shoot
 ing the Rapids.
SCOW MEETS SAME FATE
Steamer Will Likely Be Saved--She Was Launched Only a Few Days Ago and Sold by Capt. Irving to the Canadian Development Co.

The steamer Zelandian was wrecked eve ming before last while attempting to run White Horse rapids under her own steam. She struck rock in the middle of the channel, and at last accounts was still hangidg on the rcok with hole in her bottom, and the water up to her guards. It is believed she will be saved.
 Passengers arriving last evening from White Horse also brought the report large scow loaded wiih live stock had struck rock near the entrance to the rap ids. To just what extent the scow was damaged was not learned. II seems how. ever, that she has not gone down, but hangs on the rock.
 The Zelandian Is owned by the C. D. Co. She was recently built by Capt. John Irv- ing and was one of the finest steamers on the Upper Yukon.
 The steamer Bailey, belonging to the C. D. people, went through the rapids few days ago.
