Dawson, July 10.-The steamer T. C.. Power, of the N. A. T. X T. Co.,, fleet arrived from St. Michael at II 30 o'clock this morning. She is the first steamer to reach Dawson this season from St. Michael. She had little freight and B passengers for Dawson. The Power left St, Michael at 6 ?, m, June 2l. She was the first boat out of the port for Dawson this year. Starting from St. Michael she had 100 tons of general freight and provisions most needed at posts on the lower Yukon, and dis charged most of the cargo before reach ing Dawson. The steamer was so heavily laden her guards almost touched the water. Much credit is given by the crew to Captain J. B. Mccarthy, master of the vessel, for the splendid management of the ship in her heavy condition. The steamer Sarah likely will be the second steamer to arrive in Dawson from St. Michael. She is eX- pected here tomorrow. She belongs to the Northern Commercial Co.'S fleet.
 After drinking the contents of bot tie of laudanum, George Weeks made doubly sure of committing suicide by shooting himself through the heart at the S.-Y. T. lodging house this morn ing.

 The Most Reverend Alexander Chris tie, D. D., archbishop of the Catholic church, with headquarters at Portland, Oregon. who arrived on the Selkirk, will remain in Dawson until the first steamer leaves for the lower Yukon. Archbishop Christie is known as the archbishop of Oregon City, the name being taken from the oldest town in the state of Oregon. His province" in- cludes the states of Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Washington and the Dis trict of Alaska. For many years he he was affiliated with the St. Paul arch diocese as rector of St.Stephen's church at Minneapolis. June 29, 1898, he was consecrated bishop of Victoria, Van couver Island, and April II, 1S99 pre- noted to the archepiscopal see of Ore gon City. The present trip of Arch bishop Christie, he says, is merely for sight seeing and recreation. He may go as far north as Nome. "My time is limited" says the archbishop, "and l may have to turn back sooner than desire. Iintend, if my time is sufficient, to go to St. Michael and Nome. 1 shall leave for the lower Yukon on the first steamer going down the river from Dawson"
 The report comes from the lower river country by the steamer Power, that q new strike has been made in the Good Pasture country. No details of the strike are obtained. The rumor spread rapidly on the Power on her way up the river and was fruitful source of speculation and discussion among the passengers. It is reported that the strike is rich. The rumor at the best is vague. Reports of big strikes ip the Good Pasture country have occupied the attention of the Klondike periodically the last several years, but nothing meritOrious ever has been proven to exist there.
