LEAVING THE YUKON.
American Miners Cannot Stand
Canadian Government.

Chicago, Oct. ia dispatch to the
Record Herald from Tacoma, WASH,
says:
That American miners are leaving
British Yukon for the American side of
the Alaskan boundary is declared to be
a fact beyond question by John McGil-
livray, New York mining engineer,
who was sent to the Klondike when
the first discovery Of gold was made.
He has spent six years In the north,
being brought into close contact viii
Canadian methods. He emphasizes his
belief that between no government at
all and that given Yukon territory by
the Canadian officials, the former is
preferable.
Dispatches from Juneau and Skag-
way state that residents OF southeast
ern Alaska are anxiously awaiting the
award OF the boundary commission from
London. Miners in the Porcupine dis
trict and adjacent territory have been
quietly recording their claims with
British recorders across the line to in
sure their rights In the event OF de-
cision unfayorable to the United States.

sons were killed and about 40 injured

the Belvldere division OF the Pennayl-
vnnia Railroad company near Wash

pair washouts along the road Four
teen bodies have been taken from the
wreckage and one more body TX known
to be under the debris Only two or
three OF those who are injured will be
permanently MANNED
AS soon as the collision occurred n
special train was sent from Trenton
with a corps of physicians and the dead
and injured were brought to this city.
The dead men, with one or two eXcep-
tions, are Italian laborers who resided
In this city, toe others being colored
