CONTEMPLATED PILLAeE OF
BANKS AND GOLD FIELDS.
ORIcINATORS WERE FENIANS
And Boer sympathizers-Would Have
Succeeded But for Dis
covery.

Seattle, Nov. 22.-The Times prints
the following from Victoria, B. c.:
There was an organized conspiracy to
seize Dawson, c the barracks of
the northwest mounted police with
their arms and ammunition, loot the
banks and pillage the property of the
rich northern gold fields. These facts
are confirmed by James Seeley, form
the secret service of the northwest
mounted police, who is in this city.
He says that not only was there a
conspiracy to overthrow the Canadian
rule in the Yukon and loot Dawson,
but the scheme Matched by the con-
spirators was a very feasible one and
had it's existence not been discovered
by the secret service Of the Yukon
and nipped in the bud the conspirators
could have accomplished their purpose
and after taking Dawson could have
held that place and the Yukon for six
weeks or two months. The conspiracy
was born at Dawson and had a branch
at SkagWay but no existence at any
points to the south Of Skagway, al
though efforts were made to secure
the assistance of Boer sympathizers
at other points in the United States.
1t was at Dawson that the plot was
formed last summer. Several Amer
lean Fenians who had drifted to Daw-
sol got together and formed the or
ganization, which was called the Cor
der of the Midnight Sun" A number
of others were gathered in and the
order grew until there were several
HUNDRED adherents in September,
when the members of the secret SER
vice in the Yukon became aware Of
it's existence.

MAY CHANGE THE OFFICERS
so THE EVASION OF LAW WILL
BE LESS TRANSPARENT.

New York, Nov. 22.-According to a
Wall street report believed to be based
on good authority, certain changes in
the Northern Pacific directorate are
to be made in view Of the agitation in
Minneapolis against the joint opera
ton of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern. Influential interests in the
organization of the Northern Secur-
tiles company said today that while
they believed that the company's
plans for controlling the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern roads could
not be upset through legal proceed
ings, based on allegations that they
conficted with the anti-consolidation
laws of the different states, some
changes might be forced. 1t was held
by these interests that there was a
question as to whether President Hill
OF the Great Northern railway under
a strict Interpretation of the present
law had an unquestioned right to be
a member of the board of directors
Of the Northern Pacific railroad. The
same doubt existed as to the right of
E. E. Hartman, chairman of the I'm
ion Pacific to be a member of the
Northern Pacific board. 1t was as
serted that it was not impossible that
both gentlemen might retire from the
Northern Pacific board,

GUNBoATS PATROL COAST
MAKING 1T IMPOSSIBLE FOR IN
sURGENTs TO LAND FOOD.

Manila, Nov. 22.-News received
here from the Island of Samar is en-
couraging, although up to the present
time there has been no wholesale sur
renders of natives. The Filipinos
captured there by u troops show
evidences of suffering and hunger.
The coasts of the island are closely
patrolled by gunboats and by the use
of searchlights it is rendered almost
impossible for the natives to land
food on the island for the insurgents.
The patrolling gunboats have captur-
ed over $4,000 in cash, and 500, 600
worth of hemp, upon which a tax had
been paid to the insurgents, has been
co%nfscated. The system of taxation,
and the collection of taxes maintained
by the insurgent leader, Luban, was
perfect and exhaustive in every par
ticular and produced evenu from
births, marriages, deaths, cockights
and from the fish ponds of Samar,
Hemp was the most important feature
of commerce. Two per cent cf is

SEARCHERS CANNOT ENTER
MINE MAY NOT BE SAFE FOR
SEVERAL DAYS.

Pocahontas, Va, Nov. 23.-At 9
O'Clock tonight nothing had been heard
from the missing officials who enter
ed the mine yesterday. No efforts have
been made to enter the mine since
early this morning, it being impossi-
bic to do so on account of the enor-
nous accumulation of gas in the mine.
Until the passages connecting the two
mines are entirely closed and the gas
forced out by means of the large fans
it will be impossible to explore the
mines. Large froces are working day
and night to free the mines from gas,
but it is impossible to now form any
definite idea as to when the mines will
be considered safe. Some who are
familiar with the mines, claim that
it may be several days before a search
ing party could enter.
C. S. Thorne of Philadelphia, secre-
tary and treasurer Of the company, is
still on the ground and is in direct
charge, sparing neither expense nor
energy in the effort to ecove the
lost bodies. President Campbell of
Philadelphia is en- route to the scene
and is expected tomorrow morning.
The fire in the Baby mine has now
been burning ten days, and including
tn eight missing men the probable
total death list during that period
numbers II persons. AS late as G
o'clock this evening hundreds were
gathered around the mine entrance
anxiously awaiting developments.

nounced that the obligation Of the
government to preserve order prevent
ed the ministers from attending the
chamber of deputies today, but that
they would attend tomorrow and ask
a vote of confidence. In the absence
of a quorum the chamber adjourned.
In the course of the afternoon the
growing crowds and the increasing
excitement heralded the hour fixed
for the funeral of the victims of
Thursdays rioting.
The bulk of troops were confined to
the barracks. The shops along the
route were closed by police orders.
At 5 o'clock the cortege left the ca
thedral for the cemetery, dense crowds
following. The collins covered
with flags we're preceded by students
carrying a black banner. The pro-
cession halted for some minutes be-
fore the palace but no cries were rails
ed. The populace going to and re-
turning from the cemetery maintained
a silent and restrained demeanor. At
the cemetery, M. Levidis delivered
an Grafton in the course of which he
attcked the government and declared
that the people ought to erect a maus-
oleum over the victims of duty and
protism." The city resumed it's nor
NAL aspect as the evening wore away.
The students, however, still remain in
occupation of the university. The
rector, at the head of 80 professors,
endeavored to persuade them to re-
tire, but they declined to comply un-
less given guarantees that no legal
proceeding would be taken against
them; that the translators of the COS
pels would be communicated and
that the university would not be oc-
cupied by troops.
It seems that the resignation of the
metropolitan of Athens, P~rocopius
Oeconimidis, was very dramatic. The
minister of public worship, M. Stats,
visited him during the night and told
him that the king and the government
desired him to resign. At first the
metropolitan refused. He was then
taken to see the premier, M. Theo-
kotis, after which all three went to
the palace at 1 o'clock in the morning.
AS a result of the interview with King
George the metropolitan signed his
resignation, weeping and broken heart.

provement company's colleries today
for the purpose of examining the sit

fire in the Baby mine, and up to this
hour, IL O'Clock midnight, have not

the Baby mine proper had been cut of

Of operating the West mine. The
large fan in the West mine had been
started at ar early hour this morning
and at II O'Clock today it vas thought
that all gases originating from the fire

hontas by the different mining experts
from Flat Top field, these experts hav-
ing been rushed to Pocahontas by a
special train late this afternoon.
All efforts are being used to recover
the bodies of the inspecting party but
no hopes are entertained that any of
them will be recovered alive. The
secretary and treasurer of the South
western Virginia Improvement COM
pany, G. S. Thorne of Philadelphia,
is directly in charge of all movements
at the mines. The fire that originated
in the Baby mine last Thursday morn
ing and which was supposed to have
been under control, is now burning
furiously. All the members of the
lost party are prominent in the coal
fields. The excitement now prevail
ing at Pocahontas is intense, business
having practically been suspended.
All the members of the party are mar
ried, some having large families.
