RICH CARGO ON STEAMER PORTLAND Letter From Captain Higgins to a Friend in San Francisco. LIKE AN ALADDIN STORY eee SEATTLE, Wash., July 19—The amount of treasure brought down from the famed Klondyke by the steamship Portland is now Placed at $1,500,000, and there is good rea- son to believe the sum was nearer $2,000,- 000. A sort of confidence game appears to have been worked on the transportation ccmpany by the miners. Each man was re- quired to place his gold chest in the ship’s safe, but many of the miners secreted their dust in blankets and luggage, which was taken either to their state rooms or thrown carelessly about the ship. Clarence J. Berry, one of Klondyke’s kings, brought down at least $84,000 in nuggets, not a cent of which the Portland had any record. The statement is made on the authority of Capt. Kidson, master of the vessel. Portland Brought Over $1,000,000. When pressed for an estimate as to the total of the Portland’s gold cargo, Capt. Kidson said it was no doubt nearer $1,000,- 000 than the amount accounted for on the ship's records. At present only miners’ laws rule the camp, but next year Dawson City will be in- corporated and municipal officers elected. ‘The miners are determined that order shail be preserved at ail hazards. No sure-thing gamblers will be permitted in either Daw- son City or the diggings. Information comes that several ss have recently been made in the hborhood of Forty Mile. It has been christened Minute Creek, and is now panning out $22a day to the man. Another discoverey on American creek, fifty miles below Forty Mile camp, is said to be paying weil, and a great number of is thought likely: many of the prospectors will strike for These camps, thus relieving the strain on Dawson City.

Higgins of the steamer to a friend in this city. “The word Klcendyke means Deer river and is called Reindeer river on the charts. It empties into the Yukon fifty bove the Big river. The geographi- position of the junction is 76 degre; 10 minutes north latitude, 138 degrees 50 minutes west longitude. Bonanza creek dumps into Klondyke about two miles above the Yukon. Eldorado is a tributary of the Bonanza. There are numerous other creeks and tributaries, the main river be- ing 300 miles long. The gold so far has been taken from Bonanza and Eldorado, both well named, for the richness of the placers 13 truly marvelous. Eldorado, thir- ty miles long, is staked the whole length and as far as worked has paid. Half a Million to a Claim. “As each claim ts 500 feet along the creek bed there is half a million to the claim. So uniform has the output been that one miner who has an interest in three claims told me that if offered his choice he would tess up to decide. One of our passengers who {s taking $1,000 with Tim has worked 100 feet of his ground, and refused $200,000 for the re- mainder, and confidently expects to clean up $400,000 and mcre. He has in a bottle $212 taken from one pan of dirt. His pay dirt while being weshed averaged $250 an hour to each man shoveling in. Two others of our miners who worked their own claims cleaned up $6,000 from the day's washing. “There is about fifteen feet of dirt above bed rock, the pay streak averaging from four to six feet, which is tunneled out while the ground is frozen. Of course the ground taken out is thawed by building fires, and when the thaw comes and water rushes in they set their sluices and wash the dirt. Two of our fellows thought a small bird in the hand worth a large one in the bush and sold their claims for $45,000, getting $4,500 down, the remainder to be paid in nenthly installments of $10,000 each. They were twenty days thaw- ing and getting out dirt. Then there was no water to sluice with, but one fellow made a rocker and in ten days took out the $10,000 for the first Installment. So, tunnel- ing and rocking, they took out $4,400 be- fore there was water to sluice with.

The officers say that by the time the Queen re- turns to Juneau on her return trip, nine days hence, there will not be an able- bodied man left in town. Many men are leaving Juneau for the gold fields without provisions or means to buy them. The steamer Alkali sailed for Alaska at mfdnight.

Annual Gathering of White Ribboners at Washington Grove. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., July 19.— The annual convention of the W. C. T. U. for Maryland and the District of Columbia opened Saturday night for a series of meetings, to continue eight days. Mrs. Margaret B. Platt presided and the speaker for the evening were Miss Jennie Smith and Mrs. Haslup. Four services were held Sunday, which were well attended, notwithstanding numerous showers of rain. As a body the W. C. T. U. is not afraid of water, and their followers did not seem to lose their enthusiasm during the day. Miss Mary E. Hughes, a member of the Friends’ So- ctety of Loudoun county, very interesting talk in the mamaine Geom the “Personal Gifts of the Lord.” Miss Jennie Smith followed, taking for her text, “The willing and obedient shall eat the fruit of the land.” The remarks of both speakers were closely followed by the au- dience, and personal experiences of the speakers were interesting as well ag in- ructive. At 2 o'clock a children’s meeting was held, der the charge of Mrs. Haslup, who is state president of the W. C. T. U. for Maryland. This meeting was largely attended, not only by children, but adults and all seemed to enjoy the services, Those who attended the 3 o'clock meet- ing were well entertained by the gifted speaker, Mr. Hadley, of the Water Street Mission of New York city.

EXPECTS NO TROUBLE IN SPAIN New Judges Soon to Be Chosen for Indian Territory. SOME OF THE DAY’S CALLERS Gen, Stewart L. Woodford, minister to Spain, paid his last visit to President Mc- Kinley this morning, and followed this by a farewell visit to the State Department. Gen. Woodford was with President Mc- Kinley for half an hour, and they parted with a full understanding as to the course to be pursued by the minister and the ud- ministration. Gen. Woodford will leave for New York today, and will spend the time betwe2n now and his departure for Europe in ar- ranging his private affairs. * Gen. Woodford was suavity itself in bid- ding good-bye to White House employes. To a Star reporter who asked him as to a report that he would not be officially re- ceived by the Spanish government until scme time in October, Gen. Woodford said: “I expect to reach the Spanish court at San Sebastiun between the 20th of August and the Ist of September, and have no doubt that everything will be done that will make my stay pleasant and healthful to both governments.” The last part of this, which is the first nterview which Gen. Woodford has given since his appointment, may be re- as significant in several ways. It shows that he looks forward to no early break between the amicable relations of the two countries. Gen. Woodford declined to say whether he would stop in London or Paris, and how long he would stay in either city.’ Between his departure from this country and 3 val at the Spanish court there will be an interval which will not be taken up in traveling, and must be spent somewhere. It is asserted that Minister Woodford will do some diplomatic work in England and France before reaching Spain. Judges for Indian Territory. Two of the best-known democrats of the it country will shortly remains to be seen whether they will a: ccme to the front. These are Judges inger and Kilgore of the Indian terri- prominent members of the Heuse for years, and their names were household words, at least in democratic houscholds. Everybody remembers tne stcry of “Bvek" Kilgore kicking in the docrs of the House and leading the demo- cratic minority out to escape being counted by Speaker Reed. Everybody remembers him ag a filibuster and as an objector to a certai s of claims. Mr. Springer was as wel! known as the late Representative Holman. Both were appointed to judge- ips in the Indian territory by President Cleveland soon after he entered the White ‘0 out of office, and House on his last term. Their terms of of- fice will shortly expire, and President Mc- Kinley, who knew both of the famous dem- ocrats | well, their places. It is said that ex-Representative Town- send of Colorado will succeed Judge Kil- gore, and Judge Gill of Kansas will take the piace of Judge Springer. It is said the appcintments may be made about the close of Congr at lei by fall. At the same the President will appoint marshals for the territory. The appointment of Messrs. Kilgore and Springer was made by President Cleveland March 21, 1895, during the recess. The nominations were sent to the Senate in the December following. The terms of ter- ritorial judges expire with the administra- tion which appointed them. The President has been in no hurry about appointing suc- cessors, but will, as stated, do so some- time soon. Rain Was Too Much. The heavy rainfall decreased the num- ber of visitors at the White House this morning. A White House wag says that at the beginning of the administration the candidates for office rode up to the Execu- Mansion in the finest of equipages, feeling sure that the President was stand- ing at a window watching their arrival. As the weeks flew by and the offices did not fly up, the candidates quit carriages and rode up in the street cars. That at las became too expensi’ and now “the boy: walk, glad to be able to get up any wa The rain was too much for them this morning, and they remained away. Apologizing for Hix Weather. Prof. Willis L. Moore, head of the weather bureau, paid his respects to the President this morning. He was accom- panied by Representative Taylor of Ohio. While there is no talk of a successor to Prof. Moore, it is understood that the di- rector of the weather wanted to apologize tor the grade of weather he has been fur- nishing and to promise to give the Presi- dent just what he wants when he goes off on his holiday. The talk of Prof. Harrington trying to secure his old place again has died out, and so fer as known Prof. Moore will con- tinue to turn out just what he thinks proper in the weather line. = Powderly to Be Confirmed. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania had business with the President today. When asked {f there would be a fight on the con- firmation of T. V. Powderly as commis- sioner of immigration, Senater Penrose said it would rot be by himself and Senator Quay. Secator Penrose was aware, he said, of the opposition to Powderly in labor cir- cles, but he had no intention of opposing the confirmation of Mr. Powderly. M. G. Edens, the Illinois man who was thought to stand a good show for the ap- pointmeni which Powderly received, was at the White Hovse this morning. His friends say he is booked for a good place and is sure to get it. Senator Platt and Representative Alex- ander saw the President regarding New York matters in which they are interested. oe SS ST.

The Washington Boys Are the Favor- ites in the Betting on the Com- petition Res: Special from a Staff Correspondent. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 19.—With the commencement today of the competi- tive drills, Camp Culberson may be said to be in complete running order. Several contpanies of the maiden class drilled this morning, and this afternoon the ‘Thurston Rifles, champions of the Mem- phis contest in 18%, are to face the judges. The Thurstcn’s were inspected this morn- ing, after being in constant preparation for the ordeal since their arrival here Friday last. The Omaha men unquestionably made an excellent showing, but. whether it can be improved upon by the Mortens remains to be seen, for the Washington boys have several secrets up their sleeves reiating to the inspection. : ‘The feature of the day Saturday, so far as Washington is concerned, was the ar- rival in camp of Captain Shilling, in ex- cellent condition after the long trip, and the turning over of the Galveston cup to the Mortons. Captain Shilling reached the grounds during the opening dress parade and review, in which 3,500 troops partic the grandest military spectacle ¢ witnessed in the south. As the Mortons ed the reviewing s, Lieutenant alles, noticing thi any commander on the edge of the field, left the column and moved the company teward the gr: stand. Then Captain Shilling was corded the hearticst welcome imaginable, ng cheered to the echo and literally hugged by every cadet. Gen, Mabry’s Letter. On reaching his tent Captain Shilling was handed a communication from Adju- tant General Mabry, custodian of the Gal- veston cup and commandant of the camp, as follows: “It gives me pleasure to turn over to you the Galveston cup, which you won and had awarded to you at the in te drill held in Savannah, Ga., May, ‘That drill, under the decision of the trustee, fulfill-d every requirement of the rules governing the cup, and you won it the distinction of being y organization of the United States. I regret that I was unable to get po: on of the cup earlier.” The cup itself was formally turned over to Captain Shilling twenty-four hours later by a lieutenant colonel and a major on taff of General Mabry. Thereupon ndemonium broke loose in the Morton's camp and ral photographs of the « with the trophy in the arms of Cap- nin Shilling, were taken. The cup is to- y being engraved, When properly in- cribed, it will be returned to General Mabry to be again placed in competition. ‘The Morton Cadets won the cup fairly at Savannah, and deserved all the honor attached to its possession,” said General Mabry to me. “It is an excellent company and I hope the command will take first place at this drill The Thurston Rifles, who retained the cup for a year without the semblance of right, are keeping very quiet. They and the Mortons never speak as they pass by. After the jew Saturday the cham- pions were presented to their chaperones, Mrs. Gordon and Mrs. George, and maids of honor, Misses Reed, Pfeifer and Pres- ton. The ladies were profusely bedecked in the colors of the company and ex- pressed themselves as delighted with “their company.” The feeling is more than recip- rocated.

A reception on an claborate scale will be tendered the company tomorrow evening at the residence of Miss Pfeifer. Governor Culberson of Texas will be among the guests. This evening the Mortons are ex- pected as special guests at the Hotel Men- ger, where a ball will be given in honor of tae sponsors. The invitation, however, will be declined. After the review Saturday the Mortons gave their first exhibition drill in public. The applause from the thousands of spec- tators was so intense that the boys were unable at times to hear the commands of Captain Shilling. I chanced to be in the turf exchange to- day when a stranger entered and stated a desire to place $200 at 2 to 1 on the Morton Cadets for first place.. The offer was promptly declined. Captain Shilling this morning impressed on the boys the magnitude of their under- taking, and announced that no member of the team will be permitted to leave camp urder any circumstances, except to attend the reception tomorrow, until after the drill of the company Thursday. Every en- ergy is to be expended in the direction of bettering the work of the team. There was great complaint throughout the interstate camp on the receipt of an order requiring visiting companies to fol- low the routine planned for the Texas Guard. The obnoxious order, however, will be revoked today. The Mortons have an unprecedentedly well-drilled field of com- panies to best in order to retain the cham- pionship. The Thurston Rifles seem ragged and unpolished, but that is true of their drill that won the 2hampionship at Mem- phis. Company D, from St. Paul, is the only organization using the new maaual of arms and its drill is well nigh perfect. The Sealy Rifles perhaps were never before in such condition, and the company that ranks higher than the Galveston boys in the markings will unquestionably take the cup. Both the Belknap Rifles and the Gover- nor's Guard of Austin are in wonderful form. It would not be a surprise to see any of them finish in the lead, and the winner will certainly be entitled to as much gredit as ever bestowed in the past at any rill. fairly and merit the champicn mili Program to Be Short.
