kiondike on Automobile.
Eight hundred miles, more or less,
across the icy wastes of Alaska into
the heart of the Klondike by automo-
bile. This is the task that three sci
entific Frenchmen have set out to ac.
complish.
These daring travellers are f. jaime
de Lamare, an officer in the French
Academy of Arts and Letters; f.
Crom, a journalist, and M. II. Merville,
champion motor-cyclist of the world
and member of of the National Con-
servatory of Arts. MN. de Lamere
and CrOm have been to the Klondike
before.
A woman, already known to Klon-
dixie fame and fortune-Mrs. Roswell
P. Hitchcock, author and explorer
says that she will accompany the au-
tomobile expedition.
The gold hunters brought with them
an automobile of five horsepower,
which is run by gasoline, and motor
tricycle. of three horsepower, run by
petroleum.
In describing his plans, Nj. de La
mare said he intended to substitute
runners for the rear wheels OF his
automobile and place rim with saw
teeth to the front wheel. The power
applied to the front wheel will enable
the teeth to maintain purchase on
the ice while the runners slide swiftly
along, imparting momentum to the
automobile sleigh. In the wake OF
the automobile will be dragged q
sleigh, ON which are to be borne the
camping outfit of the travellers, flfty
gallons Of gasoline, duplicates Of the
automobile parts and a tandem BIZ
cyle, to be used for exercise or warm
ing up.
It is intended to travel from Dyea
by rail and pass to Bennett Lake.
where the automobile journey proper
will begin. From Bennett Lake the
route will lie to Atlin City, q distance
of 112 miles. This stage NJ. Lamare
hopes to accomplish in one day. From
Atlin to Dawson the distance is $50
miles.
On the return trip from Dawson in
the fall M. de Lamare will transform
his automobile into another type of
conveyance. He will place the driv-
ing machinery Of his automobile with
in canoe, substitute paddles for
wheels and sail by gasoline power to
st. Michael's.

Washington. Sept. 20.-The first def
mite determination To begin peace nego-
tiation with China seems To have
sian governments which have made
known their purpose TO proceed with
negotiations with Ii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching as soon as feasible. As
France is acting with Russia. this de
termination appears To remove any
prospect of modification of the Rus
so Franco determination To withdraw
from Pekin. Ii also disposes of all
questions as To the credentials of Ii
Hung Chang and places France in Il
position of being ready TO proceed on
the credentials he has brought for
ward. If it is the purpose of France
and Russia To begin peace negotiations
1t would follow that at least some
of the great powers Will not concur iii
the German note requiring the sur
render of the chief Chinese ringleaders
as an Indispensable prerequisite to the
opening of peace negotiations. The
German note Is based on the theory
that no peace negotiations can go on
until the Chinese malefactors are sur
rendered. On the other hanu, the
Franco Russian attitude contemplates
prucessding with the peace negotiations
MT the earliest feasible time without
attaching any Indispensable condition
as IL the prior surrender of the Chi
nese Offenders.
