Ii. M. HaFJlD, registrar Ol uIIHAHS claims at Selkirk, accidentally shot himself on the 2Oth uIt., while floating down the Thirty Mile river in a canoe between LaBarge anG Hootalinqua, says the Skagway News. His gun was lying behind him, and seeing some ducks he reached back for it, and in bringing it around his body it went off, the shot tearing through the muscles of the left forearm. He had it dressed at Hootaliuqua. It is a painful wound but not serious one.
 The body of a man was recently found in the Yukon about four miles above SaIkirk, which is supposed to be that of Graves, the partner of O'Brien, the man now in custody at Dawson for the killing of Clayson, Relic and Olsen. There were two bullet holes in the body. It is the theory that at the time of the murder Graves was wounded, and that O'Brien then killed him in or der that suspicion of the crime might not be directed against him by the presence of a wounded man in camp.
 Mr. Thomas Trumbull, of Pt. Town send, Wash, writes from Nome to his wife that that camp is in distressing condition, and that the beach is lined with one mass of suffering humanity. He says that many people expended their last dollar in purchasing supplies and paying their fares and when the steamers arrive the passengers are put ashore first and many being without money are compelled to remain on the beach in the cold and rain without shelter for from three to five days un- til their stuff can be landed. During that time their sufferings are intense and in some instances people craZed with suffering have been driven to acts of violence. At the time of writing there were thirty big steamers anchor ed off Cape Nome and they were dis charging freight as fast as possible and the beach was piled with thousands of tons of valuable freight, with no means of moving the same, and even those with money seemed to be in helpless and bewildered condition not knowing where to 90 or what to do.
 Geo. A. Strout, of New York, who reached Seattle from Nome on the 10th
 inst, says that it is

 OUT in the beach fer the
 poor man who wants to work in cheap way, with pan and rocker. In the first place the beach has been worked to death. It was worked almost to the exclusion of ev- erything else last summer and this winter. It is not bottomless pit of gold. Men went there last summer and also during the winter and took out lots of gold practically speaking. The thousands who worked there went over the best of the ground, and while there are still large profits in the sand for steam or power sluicing, it is thing of the past for the rocker and pan. l ven ture to say that there were ten thousand people who went there with just enough money to get there, many of them with no intention of working, not knowing what they would do even after they got there. Perhaps 90 per cent of this same class had never been in such 6

benches containing rich deposits of gold. All of Klaheena river and Gla- cier and Boulder creeks upon which Americans spent thousands of dollars in prospecting is taken away from it's rightful proprietors. The iron posts demarking the boundary are crowded up to the foothills crossing and recross- ing the Dalton toll road, thus cutting off our entrance to and from our min ing camps. All this makes our future look uninviting. "We protest to you, Mir. President, against the unjust seiz- ure of the Klaheena above Kluckwan which is only ten miles from tidewater, whereas we are entitled to the country twenty miles beyond KIuckwan, includ- ing the Klaheena river and Boulder and Porcupine creeks upon which Americans have made valuable discov- cries at great expense of time and money. Did you not say that you were not in favor of ceding one inch of pub lie domain? Here are thousands of acres of rich mining ground that the British are enclosing with their iron posts. Will you not, Mir. President, act with the people and see that these posts are moved back"

CHINA HELD GUILTY.
Strong Indictment by a Correspond
ent in Picking of the London
Mail-Gives Important News.

London, Aug. AT last the story of
Picking has been told. DIR. Morrison,
in the Times, holds up the Chinese
government before the world as
guilty, and to degree of infamy and
duplicity that exceeds the surmise of
its worst detractors. In the same dis
patch he gives more hopeful view of
the prospects of the besieged than has
been expressed by any of the others
who have been heard from.
Sir Claude MacDonald's latest letter,
while strong indictment of the Chi
nese governments is not nearly SO much
so as DIR. Morrison's dispatch. That cor
respondent, with the imperial edicts
as authority, declares that as late as
July, 2 the imperial government urged
the Boxers to continue their 'loyal
and patriotic services in exterminat-
ing the Christians" He explains those
marvellous changes in the Chinese atti-
tude which have so puzzled the world.
1t appears that all the appeals for in
PREVENTION and all the protestations of
friendship have been due entirely to
the victories of the allies at Tientsin.
The ministers at Peking owed their
safety up to July RI not to govern
ment protection, but to the scarcity of
Chinese ammunition and to the fear
which the Tientsin victories inspired.
When it is remembered how great
reliance is placed upon DR.. Morrison
in England, the Importance of his ex-
posure of the Chinese government can
scarcely be overestimated 1t seems
to Danish all hopes entertained by
Lord Salisbury that the Chinese gov
eminent might yet be proved not di-
rectly responsible for the outrage, and
it may result in an entire cessation of
the negotiations with Chinese diplo-
matists, if not an open declaration of
war ON the mart of the MOWERS
