NEW PROTOCOLS
 ARE NEEDED
Fresh Obstacles Arise in the Devet. opment of the lsthmian Canal
 Project.

Washington, D. C., March o.-A very fresh turn in the development of the Isthmian canal project discloses a new obstacle. It now appears that the protocols negotiated last spring with Nicaragua and Costa Rica, whereby these countries outlined the terms upon which they were prepared to enter into permanent treaties with the United States. conveying the necessary rights for canal construction, are no longer of effect.
 Conditions have changed since then, and whenever the balance of opinion seems to incline toward the one route or the other for the canal the govern ; ment interested in the favored route suddenly hardees it's terms and is. dis posed to abandon past agreements. Therefore it will be necessary to draw up new protocols, not only for the Panama canal with Colombia, but for the Nicaragua canal with Costa Rica ! and Nicaragua, in pursuance of the state department policy of placing it within the power of congress to freely y choose either route.

ABUNDANCE: OF GRUB
At BettleS. Go Miles Below C0ldfo0t --COESiderable Prospecting Done, About 70 rlen Having Been Thus Employed During the Winter.

ColdfoOt, Feb. 1S.-I have had scv- nent men in the district here. and they one and all seem to be entirely satisfied with the progress that is being made. The town of ColdfOot is eXcellently situated on Slate creek, where 1t flows into the koyulsuk river, and is being rapidly built up. There are now about 40 cabins completed and occupied and town lots are selling at a premium. l cousummated d sale this morning for a certain piece of improved property for Sl ,00O. Lots are selling all the way from s50-well, up to $l, ,U00. that Is for 25xl0 feet.
 There are absolutely no provisions Of any kind at this point, but at 15ettlcS,
 which is located about 60 miles down the Koyukuk river, there is a full sup ply of everything, with the possible eX. ceptiOn of butter and cream. Parties located here make the run down there and back in a few days. and conse' quently 1 can state positively that all reports regarding the shortage of grut | here are erroneous. 1t iS, of course true that there are parativcly few | luXuries, but there is a full supply O1 necessities.
 Considerable prospecting is being done throughout the entire country but particularly on the following creeks: On Hammond river and it. | tributaries there are about 70 mef actively engaged in prospecting, and | with very good results. Gold creek iS
 reported as showing up very well. as l also are Union, Weisman, Twelve Mile Myrtle and Marion creeks. These claims are all placer. On Wild creek a quartz ledge is being developed. and
 am creditably informed that the pros
 pects are most encouraging. The min ing recorder. Judge Mckenzie, in | formed me that new creeks are being
 staked right along and that the miners
 generally seem well satisfied, and be-

SEATTLE IS A
 TOUGH TOWN
Three to Five !1oidups Every Day in the Week-The Town Wide Open
 Gambling on Every Street.

Dawson, Y. T., March 2l.-According to Detective P. B. McGuire, Seattle is d tough town, indeed. Mir. Mcclure returned from trip outside yesterday. He said:
 "You talk about'holdups. Well, you ought to be outside, that's all. Why. in Seattle they are having from three to five every day of the week. One day while I was there the number reached six in 24 hours. And not half of them get into the papers at that, let alone into he court.
 "While I was in Seattle six crooks from Dawson were caught red handed. so to speak. and were sent up for various terms. The Dawson Kid ga. six years for turning a job there, and the 'Skagway Kid got the same. Those are the ,only two 1 think you know. Kid West dropped right into trouble in Frisco when he got there, and Is In iail now. It was small oifense-steal- ing pairo pants-and his punishment was six months.
 'Seattle is a wide open town. There is gambling on every street. ! saw many Dawsonites getting rid of their cash there. The effect of the anti gambling spirit of Dawson was to be plainly seen there, for many men wht were iattening Seattle with their cash were men who would have dropped 1t lr Dawson under the old conditions. How ever, the gambling and rush of Seattle has filled the city with men who go when they are broke. l mean the! turn trick to replenish the treasury I counted 400 players in one gambling resort. You can tell from that to wha extent the thing is carried on."
