Nearly 1000 of the refugees from the
vicinity of the village of LIE Precheur,
a suburban village. were rescued by the
French cruiser Suchet and the cable
repair ship Pouyer-Quartier and were
brought here.
AS result of his inspection. the
commander of the Suchet reports that
crevices and valleys are constantly
forming in the northern portion OF the
island. where the land is in state OF
perpetual change. Fortunately. that
part of the country was evacuated In

one save a handful of survivors picked

There has been great pressure
brought to bear on the State Depart
ment by missionary societies and indi-
viduals whose claims have been already
allowed, that they might be paid in full
at the present time. Acting Solicitor
Van Dyne of the State Department has
recommended that payment of 25 per
cent of each claim be made to each
claimant Immediately.
By the time of the next payment,
about six months hence it is expected
that enough more claims will have
been approved to consume all of the
$480,000 now on hand. The exor-
bitant claims mae by some mission
aries soon after the Boxer uprising was
quelled created great comment in the
United States. The claims commits
sion, however. adopted the policy Of
strictly scrutinizing every claim pre-
sented, with the result that nearly all
of them have been reduced.
1t is expected that the total Of claims
allowed by the commission will amount
to about $2,500,00O.

PERMANENTLY ENDED?

OF LdborerS at Dawson and
Elsewhere

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. lis
the Klondike boom permanently at an
end, and is the fate that has overtaken
scores of mining camps in the west al
ready descending upon the Alaskan
sold diggings?
This is the question that is naturally
called to mind by report that has just
leen made to the State Department by
u w. Brush. United States consul at
Niagara Falls If the conditions that
MIR. Brush transmits in report just
1laGe by an expert for the Canadian
Manufacturers association for the last
wear continues for another twelve
rlbnths, the Klondike will be a region
of homeless, starving paupers, and
Dawson City will share the same fate
as deserted boom towns scattered
through the far west.
The report which Consul Brush has
transmitted was made by Mr. George
H Hees, who was sent to Dawson by
the Canadian Manufacturers associa-
Tion to make a thorough examination
into the business prospects of the Yu-
1zon territory. The official report of
Mr. Hees has been issued, and it is
very pessemistic
The total yield of gold last year IN
the Klondike was $24.000,000. The
production of the coming year, accord
ing TO the government estimates, will
not exceed S1400O,00O, falling off of
nearly one-half. No new discoveries
have been made for over a year, al
though since 1897 thousands of pros
pectors have been exploring every
creek and mountain in the country.
At Dawson Mr.. Hees reports ten ap-
pIicants for every job, yet boatload
after boatload of men continue to ar
rive, the transportation companies
keeping up the illusion abroad that
Dawson is the needy mans paradise.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 1.-Out
of $50 claims for damages sustained in
the Boxer uprising by American mis-
sionaries, sixty have been already
passed on by the claims board, Of
which Minister Conger, Secretary
Bainridge of the United States legation
and Consul Ragsdale are members
These sixty claims aggregate about
100000. The Department of State has
decided to at once begin payment. The
first payment of the Chinese indem-
nifty, amounting to about $480,000, re-
ceived in July, will be put to this pur-
