CALLS neN OUT.
President DOnneIIy Greatly Extends
Packers Strike.

Chicago, Sept. 3.--Fearing to call oil
the great packers strike ON the eve Of
Labor Day, because Of Its moral effect
the, strike leaders today took desper-
ate steps TO bolster up the cause that
has been generally admitted as lost,
II 10 believed the calling out Of the
livestock handlers, which 10 direct
violation of the interstate commerce
laws, was done 10 force the govern.
ment 10 interfere.
President Donnelly has frequently
said that the powers that be were quite
too apathetio to the strike on the verge
Of q national campaign, and before his
last card was played he would bring
matters TO the attention Of the federal
officials and force their hand. An
effort v III also be made TO involve the
Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen,
and thus stop the handling Of all stock
trains consigned to Chicago or any
other point affected by the strike.
The independent packers, who all
along have been friendly 10 the strik'
ers, aud who have supplied meat 10 the
commiHsaiy depots, were today placed
under the ban. President Donnelly
PROCESSES TO have evidence that they
have been shipping meat for the pack
ers. Strikes have been called in all
these plants, involving about $1,000
men throughout the country. This
action puts Chicago nearer an ACTUAL
meat famine than any yet taken.
Drastic orders have been issued by
the labor leaders not to permit anyone
to enter OF come out of the stockyards.
The force Of pickets was today in
creased to $4,000 meE in the vicinity
OF the yards alone, and they have been
directed to slug any one coming out or
going into the yards. President Dom
nelly issued statement today in which
he said the strike must be won at all
hazards. To lose II would mean the
crumbling Of trades nnionism all ovel
the country, and every union laboleI
in the United States will be urged to
cont ribute IN every way to the cause.

Onffroy's Mine Closed.

The coal mine at Unalaska that was last year capitalized for three million dollars, is proving some what of a failure, not through any fault of the property. but evidently the fault lies with the management. A trial shipment was last year sent to Nome and proved very satisiac- tery. A few men were during the past winter placed on the ground; they put up buildings and other wise undertook to develop the prop erty, but have received no pay, and as many as could have quit the place, and as far as present indira- tiOns go there will be nothing done there this season.

ANOTHER STRIKE
SEVERAL RICH CREEKS DIS
 COVERED
On LgvgI 5hu5ht1a
It Is Claimed that the Equal of the K1ondike has
 Been Found.

SEWARD, May 29.-Commission- CT Hildreth, of this place, has just received word from his deputy re- corder on the Shushitna river, MT. R. c. Richardson, that he has made a rich strike on Gold and Fl Dorado creeks Mir. Richardson was grubstaked by Judge Hildreth last summer, and went up the riv- CT with w. A. Peterson, of Sunrise. MT. Peterson had prospected on the creeks two years previous and found good prospects, but had to come out as his provisions run out. Last year MT. Peterson and Mr. Richardson started for the river in July. After reaching there they dug large drain dilh. They work ed on this ditch during a portion of the winter, and this spring com menced to pan on the bottom of it. Mir. Richardson writes that the pans run from 30 to 30 cents. Tine cut is not deep and the gravel is all quite rich.
 The news is confirmed by Mir. Jos. l.. Moore, who has just come down the river ,n Tyonic for pro- visions. Mir. Moore reports that he stopped few days with Rich ardson and Peterson, and did con siderable banning in the ditch and on the grounds of Richardson, and that while he was there the pans averaged 47 cents each. They be- lieve that the Shushitna will rival the Klondike.
 Gold and Fl Dorado creeks flow into the Shushitna about 100 miles above its mouth and a few mikes lelow the falls and canyon. Sev- eral other parties are in that vicin- ity from Sunrise and Hope, and all seem to have had much success.
 Reports from the headwaters of the river brought out by Moore and others are to the effect that the Valdvz crowd have struck it very rich, and the ground is much better than was anticipated last year. A large number of m,n are on their way up the river for the various strikes.

 The cry of woman overbOard' was raised and Bert Skinner i'm. mediately leaped to her rescue striking the water nearly as soon as she did. After him jumped the second mate of the boat. The two men quickly secured the woman and kept her afloat until a small boat reached the spot. and they were taken ashore. None of the three sustained any injuries.
 Many commented upon the cool. ness displayed by her during the ordeal, bat it is not surprising con- sidering the ice water she was in,

Want to Govern Alaska.


 It has become known that John c.

Brady. Mir. Heid's papers, which are on file in the interior depart ment, bear the indorsement Of Sem ator Mitchell, of Oregon, and sev. eral other members of congress.
 Colonel William T. Perkins. of Nome, has never withdrawn his application, and is still supposed to be candidate for the office. A more recent applicant for the gov ernorship is Oliver Roberts of San Francisco, who is backed by some members of t.Ie California aelega. tion in congress.
 Gov. Brady has gone tc New York on his way back to Alaska His present term will expire Junt r6, but it is believed tbat before ht left Washington he received the as surance of the president that he will be reaprointed.

Forty Mile Flood.

The flood at Forty-Mile has sub- sided, but the townsite is still cov- cred with drift and thousands of tons of ice, most of it ten feet thick. The flood has been the worst in the history of the place, as the river rose fourteen feet in twenty min- utes and caught many people slum- bering in the middle of the night. These were rescued with canoes, being taken from house tops and the tops of trees where they had sought refuge. It was necessary for all of these to sleep ia the hills. Many of the rescuing gangs worked all night in the water.
 It is probable that the townsite will have to be abandoned, as the damages are too great to repair, and the floods are of such fresuen, occurrence as to make the site dan- gerous. The total loss is estimate at this time at $l2,O0O.
