UNCONFIRMED STORY OF A
PROPOSED REBELLION.
American Residents of SkagWay
Said to be Prime Movers in
the Conspiracy and Money
and Arms Have Been
Furnished.

San Francisco, November 49,
The Call to-day prints an uncon.
firmed story from Skagway,
Alaska, under date of November
6, telling of the discovery of what
is alleged to be huge conspiracy
existing in Dawson and ramify-
ing to Skagway, Victoria, Van
couver and Seattle, for the over
throw of the local government of
the Northwest Territory and the
establishing Of republic, with
Dawson as it's capital.
According to the details Of the
story, arms, ammunition and
provisions have been taken in
over the railroad and cached at
strategic points. Prominent
American residents of Skagway
are said to be leaders in the con-
spiracy. Miners to the number
Of 5000 are said to await the
summons to arms, ready to fight
for the Independence from Doms
inion rule of the gold fields,
camps and towns. The plan is to
overpower the mounted police,
arrest the civil authorities and
take the government into their
own hands.
The ri9ors of the Arctic win
ters would give the insurgents
six months immunity from attack
by Canadian or British troops,
aud che adventurous arch.con-
spirators hope for the interven-
tlon of outside assistance by the
time the melting of the ice and
snow will permit the invasion of
their isolated republic.
It is futher related that a hur-
ried conference, lasting until
midnight, was held at Skagway
November 5, at which were pre-
sent Captain Corrigan, of the
Northwest mounted police, who
had arrived from across the
Canadian border late that evens
ing; Judge Brown, of the United
States District Court; United
States Marshal Shoup, United
States Attorney Frederick and
Captain Bovey, Twenty-fourth
Infantry, commanding the United
States troops at Skagway.
This was the last Of the several
hasty consultations between the
civil and military representatives
Of the two powers in relation to
the mysterious transportation OF
supplies Into the interior, and
rumors OF conspiracy to lead
the miners in a revolt against the
| Canadian Government in the
Northwest Territory.
| Those present maintained sub
sequently the strictest silence
concerning the new evidence laio
before them, and their eviden
anxiety helped to confirm the
rumors of conspiracy.
/ Captain Corrigan took trair
back across the border the mex,
morning, while United States
Marshal Sho1p embarked on tn,
first steamer for Seattle, which
: port he reached several day
ago. The object of bis visit wa
presumably to confer by tele
graph with the authorities a

afternoon on the Dolphin on hi
8 way back to Skagaway.
