Barge Camden is Prevented
 From Going to Sea.
DECLARED TO BE UNSAFE
Special Board Examines the Craft
 and Reports to the Commissioner That the Seams Are Open and the Vessel is Unseaworthy.

The barge Camden, once proud winged sailing ship, was yesterday place under a ban by United States Commissioner C. A. Sehlbrede. The craft lies in the harbor of Skagwav. She was to leave here soon for Chlgnic Bay, where, it is understood, she was to take coal to Valdez for the govern ment.
 Complaint was made several days ago to Commissioner Sehlbrede by H. M. Win. field, one of the crew that the vessel was unsafe. Thereupon, the commissioner ap- pointed Capt. Hall, Capt. Tompkins and F. A. Twitche of this port to examine the craft, The examination was immediately made, and the report handed in.
 The examiners reported 10 the effect the vessel was totally unseaworthy, and fur thermore, that she was inadeauateIy eqip- ped for going to sea. It was found the vessel is over fifty veare old, and that some of the >eams were open and the hull rotten and in such bad condition that it could not be repaired. The vessel, they found, was not provided with life boats, life preservers or any of the customary life saving appliances.
 Acting on the report, the commissioner issued an order to Capt. Louis Larsen, master of the Camden, torbidding him to allow the craft to be taken from the port pending orders from the district colrt, Judge M. C. Brown is expected here in a few days. It is thought by some he may declare the vessel wholly unfit for service, and forbid her eyer being used again. The Camden came here few days ago from Everett with load of lumber for the railroad. Just before leaving Everett the Camden sunk in that harbor. but was raised and lowed to Skagway by the tug Queen City, which has returned to the Sound.

Deadlock Broken on Third
 Ballot Last Night.
TO LICENSE PEDDLERS
It Will Cost $IOO Annually to Hawk Goods on the Street--School Board to Audit Claims for Salaries and IncidentaIs.

The deadlock over the election of city 4 treasurer was broken last night by thee selection ot H. 0. Peterson. Mr. Lau- meister, whose absence caused the dead lock last week, was present last night and cast his vote tor MT. Peterson, and MT. Green, who voted for MT. Woodruff on the two first ballots, changed on the third, giving Mr. Peterson five votes and the election.
 The third ballot was as follows:
 For H. O. Peterson-Green, Laumeister. Mayer, Sylvester and HiSlop-5. For F. M, Woodruff - Guthrie and | Peoples-2.
 The election was made unanimous. | The ways and means committee made an important report, which was adopted. It provides that peddlers be required to pay municipal license of $Ioo per year, but that it shall not apply to the selling of garden, farm or dairy products, nor to per sons selling their own handiwork. The report also provided that all bills against | Illt SCDOUl DOdlH iut oildliCof iChN, hSNhof stationery, fuel, light and incidentals be paid by the treasurer out of the school funds. without being acted upon by the council, but all bills for purchase of pro perty, buildings, or for any extraordinary. expense must be audited by the Council.
 MT. Green called attention to the rule that required five votes to elect an officer, and also to the fact that J. c. Price had been chosen city attorney an1 Phil Abra- hams assessor and street commissioner without the requisite five votes. lie moved that the election of these officers be made unanimous, which was adopted, re- ceving the votes of all seven members.
 H. C. Carter, the night watchman at the depot, was made special policeman, without salary, so that he might carry | firearms. f.. ,.,f

White Pass & Yukon Makes
 a Cut in River Rates
FARE TO DAWSON IS $50
War is Begun Against Independent Boats Which Have Been Selling Tickets at $I5-Railroad's Quota tions Effective Immediately.

The White Pass and Yukon route yes terdaY announced its intention of taking part in the war for White Horse-Dawson passenger business. The company an nounced a rate on all its steamers of S3o frst-oass and $2o seconi-class from White Horse to Dawson. The new rate is effec- tive immediately.
 The cut by the railroad company is effective on the steamers flying the Cana dian Development Go. flag. The Cana dian Development is branch of the rail- way company. The cut rate made how ever, applies only from White Horse. Through passengers will be given rebate to equalize, so that those arriving from the Sound with through tickets will not be disgruntled in seeing others travelling or local tickets enjoying an advantage.
 No rate is yet quoted by the White Pass and Yukon on fares from Dawson up the river, and it is not known positively that any will be. However, it is thought that there may be cut in such fares.
 The cut as announced yesterday was wired from White Horse to General Traffic Manager s. M. Irwin by General Manager E. C. Hawkins, so the decision as to cut is therefore accepted as having come from the highest sources. Messrs. Graves and Hawkins are bound for Daw- son. and it Is thought that perhaps when they get there they may cut the rates on up>rver business.
 Regular rates from White Horse to Dawson are $oo first class; and from Daw- son to White Horse S8o first class.
 The independent lines, meaning those not belonging to the railroad combination have been fighting the last several days Their rate has been SIS from White Horse to Dawson. with no second class. Int Klondike Corporation has had three boat: in the fight, and the Yukon Flyer Iint two. The only othet independent boat or the run is the Gold Star Whether sh' has been cutting rates Is not known.
 The fact the Canadian Development Company has cut the rate makes the con flict more sanguinarv for the reason it ha: nine steamers of its own on the run, and i. having considerable through passenger business.

Garbage Mans Team Takes
 a Lively Spin.
CHAOTIC STATE PREVAILS
A. Lauridson. Owner and Driver of the Rig, Badly Bruised by Being Dragged Half a Block--Abuse of Horses Said to Have Lead to the Accident--Wil1 Soon Re Out.

The team belonging to A. Lauridson. the garbage man, ran away on Sixth avenue last evening. and for few minutes there was dramatic scene on the thoroughfare.
 Lauridson, who was driving, held on to the shafts just behind the horses heels and under the cart for distance of half block while the animals were running full speed. He was taken out half stunned and appar- entlv in great agony.
 pr. Hall, who attended the man at:Brtt's
The daily morning Alaskan., 1900-07-31

drug store, where he was taken just after being hurt, and who now has him in charge at the Red Cross hospital. says Lauridson will probably come ort all right and that he will be able to tell tonight. Several bruises were sustained, but it seems that barring possible developments of inter nal injuries or some hurt of the head the man will be well soon,
 The runaway originated from the shafts of the cart dropping to the ground as he was driving up Sixth avenue and near the corner of Broadway. The animals became frightened and dashed at full speed along the edge of the sidewalk on the south side of the street. Lauridson, it is thought fell between the singletrees and the horses while trying to jump off the rig. Those who saw the the team racing down the street say 1t appeared miracle that Lau- ridson escaped being killed.
 When nearing State street, the team struck peanut heater standing in front oi Ritter's newsstand, and smashed it badly and few feet farther on struck the sign in front of Keeer's Diamond Palace. The team was stopped just at State street. Just at the end of the race one wheel was broken from the cart.
 No tongue was attached to the cart, and one horse Wa, simply harnessed abreast the other without being in the shafts.
 Some believe that likely Lauridson was the indirect cause of the accident, holding that he has repeatedly and habtuallv beaten and abused his horses and made them so afraid they were in mortal fear oi him.
 One man last night told of Laurdsor having started fire under his horse al one time to make him pull load that wa. too heavy for him Another said he haC seen Laurdson beat his horses with arg stick.
 George Dedman says that he saw Lau ridson prodding the horse with a sharJ steel pointed stick last spring.
 'l awoke early one morning." said Mr Dedman, land saw Lauridson in front o our place with his horse and cart. Tn, cart was stuck in the mud and Lauridsor was proddng him in the shoulder with { sharp pointed brad. He kept it up, anc the horse in fear went round and round in circle until the cart wore itself hub deep ir the mud. ls was shameful. He seems tC make his horses afraid of him and to thu. almost ruin them"

THE FREEDMEN's HOSPITAL REPORT.

The recent report of the Freedmen's
Hospital by the Surgeon-in. Chief, DR..
A. NJ. Curtis, is a splendid document
and speaks eloquently for the manage
ment of that institution. DR.. Curtis
has maintained the high standard set
by his worthy predecessors, and the
Hospital reflects great credit upon the
ability of the Afro.American to handle
affairs, professionally and otherwise.
The good being done by him and his
associates not only warrant local pride,
but justly calls fer applause from the
whole people. Congress should in time
make larger appropriation for the
maintenance of this worthy schoe of
practical surgery which has had such
an era of success since its esta blishment.
