lt has been reported for some time that Portland capitalists had subscribed Il large sum oi money for the Valdez, Copper River & Panama railroad. Now comes charges of fraud by S Thornton Langley, and d statement bv Chil- coot that the company k floating stock under new organization.
 The P-I publishes the following item concerning the company:
 PORTLAND. Dee. S.-That the or iginal corporation which projected the Valdez. Copper River X Tan ana railroad has been dissolved and succeeded by partnership, and that the option which S.Thorn- ion Langley declares was stolen from him is therefore void and worthless. are the facts constitut- ing what seems to be trump card held by Capt. Richard Chilcoot, who is floating his project in Port land.
 Captain Chilcoot declared this morning that the original plan "i organizing by incorporation was found To be inopera i've.
 For he reason." he stated. that cgal questions might be raised that would injure the prospects of he read articles were signed dis solving the original incorporation. These papers are now in the pos session of \. 5. Hes, who is expect- ed in Portland any time. am frank to admit that Mir. Langley knew nothing about these papers, but am perfectly free to act, and in fact no one is authorized to do 50 but myself"
 ChiIcoot says that Hes, who was ;he original promoter, instructed the dls,oiving of the incorporation.
 The Record-Miner says the P-I k mistaken about Hes connection with the railroad project, for the 
 a>t heard from him he had aban- doned railroad promoting and was fiscal agent for well known min ing promoter in Juneau.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-The Iroquois theater fire was caused by d largr reflector setting fire 10 a curtain. An attempt was made to drop the asbestos curtain, but it stopped half way down, ,and caused increased draft. The theatrical company all made their escape. Mayor Harri- son has closed all the theaters in the city until they comply with the building ordinances regarding fire protection. This is the great est theater horror in history. Not enough carriages were available for the funerals. Manager Davis and employees have been arrested on d charge of crim inal negligence.

 Outside tine "bcautiful" was gen tlv falling as couples were coming from all directions toward the hall but immediately upon their cn- trance they stood in silent admira- ton, regarding the novel appear ance of the interior.
 The hall was highly illuminated which showed off the wall decora- tions to perfection. At one end sets of harness were hung up in true country style, while directly under them bales of hay were ranged along the wall to serve as seats.
 Almost the entire population was there, but not one to find iaul. with. Everyone was neat, clean and tidy, but in true homc-spun fashion. The girls were especially charming in their dairy maid style of costume.
 On the platform Was Prof. Bou- lon with his fiddle, accompanied on the piano by Paderewski.

On the Move.

The government party has been kept busy for some time past trans ferring their supplies from Fort Liscum to Valdez and thence up the trail to the canyon. During the past week they put everything through the canyon and are now well along the trail and beyond all bother. Quite a number have talk en advantage of the trail they made, and are rushing their pri- vate outfits into the interior. The weather thus far has been delight ful for travel, and on the interior there is just enough show to make trailing perfect.
 Some time ago, as previously re- ported, q number left here for Fair banks which point they have al- ready reached. Since then a num- Der have gone into the Shushitna. and some to other points known only to themselves. The knowing ones are all taking advantage of favorable conditions, and are either on the move or else getting ready. Dogs, dog harness and outfits are quietly being accumulated, and the start for the interior will be earlier this year than ever before.
 The great advantage of this route for Fairbanks and other Panama points, is evident from the fact that the mail which arrived in Valdez last week took only Is days in transit from Fairbanks. It is not only the shortest, and therefore the quickest route, but it is by far the cheapest, and, heinz an all-Alask;. route, parties coming from the states are not put to the great in- convenience and trouble with GUS toms officials.
 Those who anticipate going to the new diggings on the Shushitna will find the Valdez route the only possible way of getting there. Some interruptions persons, either be- cause of ignorance or avarice, ars advising possible travellers to go via Skagway and Dawson. JusI such methods were used in '97 and '9S, when men were sent in over the Edmonton trail to the Klon' dike and took two years to make the journey. The victims will spend the rest of their lives in CUTS ing the men who gave them thu wrong steer.
