ALASKAN EXPLORERS RETURN AF|ER \ YEAR
  Lieut.. Heron Party. Re- ported Lost. Now Here. TRAVELLED 1000 MILES Two Months Spent in the Dead of Winter Without Native Guides in Country Hitherto Not Entered by Whites.
TRAVELLED 1000 MILES

Six bronzed and rugged men have just reached Skagwav after completing one of the longest and most important expeditions Uncle Sam has ever sent out looking to the exploration of Alaska. At the head of the party is Lieut.. J. s. Heron, of the Eighth United States cavalry. Just year ago the party started inland from Tyoonok, Cook Inlet, and crossed a hitherto unpenetra.ed country leading for hundreds of miles oyer mountains, valleys and small table lands and plains, to the mouth of the Panama. Nearly six months were spent getting from the inlet to Tanana.
 Side expeditions were made by the party and the total mileage covered on this la borious inland trip before getting to Tana- na probablv aggregates thousand miles. It was feared several months ago that Lieut.. Heron and party were lost. but the fears were dispeled some time ago. The trip was not without its dramatic side. At the beginning, two Sushitna Indian guides started with the party, but when the Are tic winter began to close in, the natives be- gan to grumble of the fear of the snow and cold, and one morning it was discovered they had slipped away. The lieutenant, not to be thWarted, heroically pushed for ward without guides for two months with his little band. facing the wilds where per haps a white mans foot had never before trod, and ot which no map had ever been made and of which the typographical and geographical features were blank to the civilized world.
 Fourteen mules were taken at the outset for carrying camp supplies, but as the snows and the cold came on it was found necessary to abandon the animals, because there was no forage to be had. and al though once faithful beasts and serviceable for a time, they had become burdens to their masters.
 Starting from the coast of Cook Inlet at Tyoonok, the party followed a certain gen eral route according to previous instructions from the government. It led them to the Sushitna River, up that stream way and

Cargo Ignites While Enroute
 to Skagway.
LOSSES PROVE HEAVY
Quarter of the Freight is Jettisoned- -- The Vessel Puts Into Small Port and Extinguishes the Blaze Ship Uninjured and Now Here.

The cargo of the Union Steamship Co.'S, steamer Coquitlam. which arrived yester- day morning caught fire while on the way here and a heavy loss was sustained.
 It was necessary to jettison about 2s per cent of the cargo. The actual amount iettsoned will be known after the remain ing freight is all taken from the ship, which will be some time today.
 The ship being of iron suffered no damage.
 The fire broke out when the Coqultlam was eight hours out from Victoria. The origin of the fire is mystery. It started right in the freight in the after hold.
 The steamer put into Marble bay, . short distance this side of Vancouver, and there extinguished the fire.
 The ship brought 200 tons of freight tC Skagway.

Judge Brown Paves the Way
 to Incorporation.
POLLING DAY, JUNE 2S
Obi ctions of the Moore Wharf Com pany to Being Included in the City Overruled- | -Councilmsn and School Directors to be Chosen.

Judge Brown last evening granted the prayer of the petition CTS In the matter of the Incorporation of Skagwav notwith- standing the objections of the Moore Wharf people. The election to decide upon the incorporation and for choosing seven city councilmen and three school directors Is ordered to take place on Thursday. June 18th.
 Those who figured that there would be no objection to the petition of the citizens of Skagwav. praying that Judge Brown call an election upon the incorporation of the city, were disappointed yesterday morning when Judge Delaney filed very lengthy protest on behalf O! the Moore wharf people. They objected to including the i6o acres filed upon by Bernard Moore In 1888 in the proposed city; or, failing in that, they desired the 43 acres allotted 10 MT. Moore by the register and receiver of the Sitka land offlte be excluded, third contingency was provided for. In case they were overrued in both of these con tentions, they emphatcally protested against Including wharf property inside the city limits. Judge Delaney's tonten- tion was In the first instance, that the peo- ple resident upon the land claimed by the Moores were interlopers and jumpers and had no position in court. because of the fact that Bernard Moore had the best title to the property. He therefore maintained that nhey had right to be excluded from the town if they so desired.
 He further contended that the court had no authority to extend the limits of the city beyond the line of mean high tide and especially not into navigable water. as the United States never parted with its title to tide lands except to sovereign states.
 All of these contentious were met by Mr. J. c. Price, representing the petition CTS, who claimed that the question as to the title to property did not enter into the matter at all. l. was all in the discretion of the court Mr. Price contended. The Moores would receive all benefits aocrulng from municipal government as we'll as the 3.5oo other inhabitants of the city and their objections were entitled to no more consideration than those ot like number of the others.
 The hearing was continued from 10 o'clock, the hour set, until Iz, when it was argued for an hour. It came up again at o'clock and was again argued. At the converting of court for the evening ses- sion, Judge Brown announced his decision here given.

Bailey Looses the Champion
 ship After a Hard Race.
SCOWS RUNNING EASILY
Plenty of Water in White Horse For Small Craft-The Nora to Shoot the Rapids Under Full Steam as Soon as the Winds go Down.

A lively race for the broom of the Yu- <on lakes was run Wednesday by the fast ste merS Bailey and Sifton. The Bailey was the champion last year, but the Sfton took away her laurels in the late brush and there is doWncast look in the face of the Canadian Development contingent, while cunning little smiles play about the mouth of the Dominion steamboat men. However, tine admirers and lovers of the Bailey say she was more heavily Ia en than her rival, and are inclined not to yield the honors.
 The racers started from Bennett, getting off neck and neck Clouds of black smoke poured from the Bailey and greater clouds flowed furlouslv and fast from the double stacks of inc SlftoE, while behind the elegant and slender craft their wheels spun madly, throwing the bosom of the lake into an angry sea of troubled waters. For some distance the racers sped on with little difference in their respective places. but the Sifton's prov in time crept ahead of her rival, and she stole av av and lead the Bailey into Caribou.
 From steamers of the Yukon waters, that is, between White Horse and DaW- son, such fast time is not to be expected, especially from the larger craft, vet tn news coming each day is little more en- couraging, and big boats seem to be gradu- ally finding it more and more easy to nav igate. Yet some of them are hung on bars.
 Lieut.. Heron, Ot the United States army, who came on the Sibyl from DaW> son and is in the city, corroborateS the re- port that the Vict rlan had gotten off the i bar al LaBarge and started for Dawson, and says further:
 "As we came up the river the F. B. Lowe was on a bar near LaRarge. The Columbian was able 10 ply on the short stretch between the bar and White Horse, and the passengers Of the Sibvl were transferred by barge to the Columbian, and by the steamer taken into White Horse.
 Thirty Mile river was very low and out steamer had to use a rope to drag her self through.
 "n selling tickets at Dawson the Ca nadan Development Company holds out the inducement that passengers will be given actommodati all tie way through in case the boats are at any time delayed and we, accordingly, were accommodated VI
 The White Pass X Yukon has received telegraphic advi es that the Gold Star and the Columbian have left White Horse tc go through to Dawson, and that the Ca nadan will start from White Horse upon the arrival of the train there this evening which leaves SkagWav this morning.
 The Eldorado and the Flora were report ed by telegraph Thursday to the railro1c to be getting near White Horse.
 H. C. Barley, the photographer, re- turned last evening from White Horse and reports that it is vet difficult for big boats to run below White Horse He says fur Il ther:
 "Scows are going through White Horse at the rate of four to five day, It is nc longer necessary for them to tighten theil loads much.

over 10 the kuskokWlm River. keeping west Of Mt. Mckinley, and on D the mouth of the Panama.
 The purpose of the expeditioH was to as- certain the feasibility of route or routes through the territory, and to make map, get information as to minerals, timber, the natives and general data as to the country. Lieut.. Heron attended to all the gathering Of information and map making personally, and the others were essentially tor the physical progress and work of sustaining the expedition on the ground. However, to the other men as well as the lieutenant IS much credit due fol the success of the undertaking.
 After the Indian guides desefied, eight weeks travel was made somewhat by gues, until the party came upon a little village of natives. Alth ugh these Indians knew scarcely more English among them all than one can count on One's hands, the lieutenant dealt with them patiently, and by remaining there several weeks succeed ed in getting valuable information as to the region. Under instructions he got ln- dian names as far as possible for all mount ains and streams and valleys. lt was tedi ous work, and in laboring with those iso- lated villagers, he was as long as week working out a single idea that was valu. able for his records. Signs, gestures and other crude methods of conveying intelli- gence were resorted to with success.
 The latter two-thirds of the route cover ed, the lieutenant estimates, haG not been explored by any one previously. No whites and but few Indians were seen there.
 As to his opinions of the country and feasibility of routes and the like, the lieu tenant, as is customary. reserves the in formation for his official report, - ltWas December II %heg the tearty reached the mouth of the 1anana The orders received before starting were to proceed out from Panama over the ice, but new orders awaited them when thev ar rived to remain there until spring. For nearly year the party was without news of the outside world, and the Boer war was declared and fought during their ab- sence.
 With Lieut. Heron were Dr. Cater, Privates Jones and Dillnger of the Four teenth Infantry, and Geo. Brown and E. M. Webster, packers. This expedition was detachment from that of Capt. Glenn, which went into the Cook Inlet country. One expedition was sent up the Sushitna to the Yukon. and one up the Matanuska, coming out on the Abercrombie trail leading into Eagle from Valdez.
 From Skagwav, Lieut. Heron goes with his party on the Al-KI to Seattle. to report for instructions.
 The party came up the river from the Panama to Dawson on the Hannah, the first steamer to pass Panama on the way up stream this season. After staying in Daw son eight days, the party came up the river on the Sbyl.
