CIGARMAKERS STRIKE.
An Effort Making to Settle the Big
Labor Contest.

LuOOF contest.
NEW YORK, July 31.-A committee
of the striking and locked-out cigar
makers went to the different factories
to-day to learn if the manufacturers
were willing to coneede to their de-
mands, or what concessions they were
ready to make. The committee will
report at meeting to be held to-mor-
row.
1t was reported that the manufac-
turers who had locked out their en-
ployes to bring the striking employees
of other firms to terms had decided to
reopen their doors. Three of such
firms seen to-day denied that they
had taken any such action.
In all about 5000 men, women and
children are interested in the result of
the committees efforts.

A YEARS PROGRESS.
KIOndike within the Last
Twelve Months.

Two years ago the difficulty of reach
ing the Klondike were thought to be
of such a nature az TO preclude the
probability or even possibility of Daw-
son ever becoming a place of perma-
nent habitation. The trials of the
Chileoot and White passes were ex-
plotted in magazine and journal from
one end of the continent almost 10 the
other, and the wrecks of humanity, and
particularly of the thousands OF beasts
that lay scattered along the trail
the tribute to the Sahara turned to
shame-were appealed TO as grim tes-
timony Of the almost insuperable bar
rier which separated man from the OBJ
ject of his search. To-day, and since
July OF the past year (s90), a steam
railway traverses the full ~ miles of
the White pass trail, and the traveller
enjoys the beauties of the subarctic
landscape in much the same way that
he enjoys the trip through the Ale
ghany mountains in the east. or of the
prairies in the west. Deposited at
Bennett. on Lake Bennett, at virtually
the head of navigation Of the mighty
Yukon river otherwise known as the
Lewes), he engages passage on one
of several commodious steamers head
ing down stream or northward, and
with one change-at the Miles canyon
and White Horse rapids, where there
is a five-mile portage-reaches Daw-

GLAMOUR FROM GOLD FIELDS
The Rose-CoIored Reports from Cape
Nome Are Not at All out or
the Ordinary.

Recent information from the Cape
Nome gold fields is mostly Of a bril-
liant rose color, as IS inevitably the
case at the outset with all goldmining
reports. But it is always the course
of wisdom to accept these glowing re-
ports with a few grains Of ihcreduliiy,
for IL is better to expect too little
than to expect too much. We are told,
for instance. that men with only hand
shovels and the simplest and rudest
Of pans have cleared from $50 TO 500,
and even $500 per day, while some
times a cleanup Of from $1,000 to
81 800 has been reported Nuggets
worth from $500 TO $500 are said to
have been found near Anvil creek. and
it is believed that $500, GOO 10 100000
was taken out of Snow Gulch last
summer One man, it Is said. took out
$4,000 and another claims still more.
There is a glamour about all this
which no doubt will lure an innumer-
able caravan to the diggings, but
whether II is all true or not, there is
another side which should not be for
gotten. Even if the dirt pans out
richly. the gold is likely in many cases
TO cost as much as 1t comes to, and
the present case appears to be no ex-
cepton to the rule for we are told
that an ordinary two-story dwelling
of eight rooms rents frequently for
$500 a month. Freight taken from the
beach, where it is landed from steam
ers and barges, costs from 35 20 40
cents per 100 pounds; for the deliv-
cry Of heavy freight by horse team
and wagon ten dollars per hour is
charged. The ruling price for a shave
is one dollar, and for a haircut Sl.5O
A bath costs two dollars. Fifty cents
is charged for laundering a flannel
shirt, IS cents for washing a colored
linen shirt, and one dollar for the re-
Mobilization OF the rare and luxurious
garment known as the white shirt.
Cigars and drinks cost 80 cents each.
Longshoremen have been paid two dol
lars an hour for their labor. Carpen-
ters receive $3.50 an hour Boston

ROBBERS BATTERED HIS HEAD
Unknown Man Found Near

Before he Was Robbed.

On One of the Pockets of the Trousers

But Nolhing Besides German

be Made Out.
Special to The Sun.

Laurel, DEL, May with every evi
dence OF murder clinging to the mass o.
matted hair on the back of it's head, the
BODY of an unknown man has been
found in the woods about three miles
from this place.
The horrible discovery was made by
Purvey Gordey. The body is that of a
man apparently about forty-five years OF
age. The back of his head is badly
battered. Several pockets were turned
inside out. The body is in bad state OF
decomposition, having been exposed to
the weather for several weeks.
On one OF the pockets of the trousers
had been written the address OF some
person, but nothing besides German
town, Philadelphia, can BIZ made out as
robbery was evidently the motive for the
crime, it may be that the victim made a
desperate eff,rt, just before death to
make scroll of somebody's address at
Germantown. The writing is in lead
pencil marks and pencil was found
near the body.
