BATTLING WITH THE ICE.
Sixteen Steamers Having a Lively
Time on the Yukon.

Seattle, Wash, Oct 21-A special
to the Post-Intelligence from Dawson
says:
Sixteen river steamers are battling
against the floating ice in the Yukon
in serious danger Of being caught in
such positions that they will be
crushed next spring. Unless the river
clears itself of ice for a few days
none of these boats will be able to
reach their destination
The condition is unpreced ented SO
early in the year. Three of the steam.
ers, owned by the White Pass and Yu-
kon line, are now on their way up the
Yukon with $50 passengers each. They
may not be able to proceed more than
a third OF. one-half the distance. They
have already been two days making
fifty miles against the running ice, If
these boats fail to get through their
passengers will have to walk hundreds
of miles. Many are not warmly clad
and extreme suffering would result
from such exposure.
The mails and several hundreds OF
thousands in gold shipments are
aboard these steamers.

ANfI-coMPAcr LAW INVALID.
Court Holds Insurance Companies
Have Right to Combine.

Des Moines, Oct. 21.--Judge Smith
Mcpherson of the federal court has
rendered an opinion in which he holds
the anti-compact law placed on the
statute books of Iowa in 1896 is in
valid and asserts insurance companies
have as good right to combine as
other commercial interests.
The opinion is of farreaching impor-
tance, affecting every company in the
state, eighty-fve of which asked an
injunction restraining the state audi
tor from enforcing the Blanchard law,
which prohibited two or more COM
panies entering an agreement to fix
rates.
Judge Mcpherson does not hold the
law unconstitutional because of yiolat.
ing the constitutional provision requir-
ing all laws to be general and uniform
in operation, but claims the state audi
tor has no right to shut out Of this
state any foreign company which he
finds solvent and financially worthy.
