Downing believes that before the rivers shall open for the purpose of navigation crime will hold high carni- val In the TAnSna country and that if the soldiery of the country shall not be called into use the people will be forced to recourse to the vigilAntes.
 Mir. Downing brought more than a quarter of a million dollars from Fair banks to Dawson and large additional sum as far ss Wnitehorse. He says knowledge of his intending to depart from the Panama with large sum of money leaked out among the people of Fairbanks and he was watched by mem bers of the lsWless gang which hangs around that city for days. Members ot the outfit dogged his footsteps every time the, took him to the bank.
 Mir. Downing was advised time after time by friends not to attempt to leave town with a large sum of money. lt vas said to him that his life would probably pay the forfeit for such fool hardy action.
 The wolld-be highWaymen were fooled. Mir Do1nlng got the money and gold dust from the bank at o'clock one morning, 6 day or two before he l.ft the camp, and when he left 1t was taEeu for granted that be had not taken the money as he intended.
 Mir. Downing is strongly in favor of police system for the TAnsnS country. He says one saloon, next door to his store was robbed, snd he believes many of the bad men are waiting for s chance to get At the sluice boxes ss soon aS the elel up shall take place.

dispatch boats arriving here during the
afternoon with official advices for the
foreign office in Paris report sighting
Rojestvensky's squadron in the South
China sea off point forty-three miles
north of Kamranh bay on Saturday
last. 1t was evident that the admiral
was pursuing his recent policy OF
cruising up and down the Cochin-C China
coast, possibly awaiting Nebogatoff' S
squadron. The French sailors, how.
ever, say they saw, a short distance
south of Rojestvensky's squadron, two
ships Oh the lines of the Emperor Mich
olas and Admiral Apraxine, which are
known to be with Nebogatoffs conf
mand. 1t is believed that Togo's
movements are designed to confine the
Russians to their short beat up and
down the coast The Japanese ad.
miral has not shown his hand In any
particular. 1t is not even known where
Kamimuras squadron is. That Vice
Admiral Togo has massed strong
force at Formosa to cooperate with
Kamimura is the most widely accepted
opinion as to his present disposition.
