No particulars were given. This is th t ‘‘breakdown’’ reported from tne Kl ke rush, but there are probably more of them arranged by fate for the next few weeks. The Progreso came in with coal for John Rosenfeid’s 8 and at once went to dis- charging at Beale-sireet wharf. It is un- derstood that the Progreso herself is at once to be transformed into a troop and suppiy ship, as was the Willamette, and that she will go on a big special expeai- tion te 8t.

The Willamette was due at Seattle to-day and will probable reach there from six to twenty-four hours late. She took from here about 140 passengers, of f dyke, and' twenty burros, mules and horses for-packing over the passes and 600 tons of freight helped make up her cargo. Seyeral ‘hundred miners and 250 horses are wailing at Seattle to ¢crowd every inch three or four days hence with the biggest single crowd of passengers that the rush has exhibited. .She will carry northward nearly a thousand meén, each with a full supply. of provisions, and will stop at both Skagaway to accommodate the White passes, respectively. ADIEU TO - SOCIETY. Farewell Club Banquet to Depart- ing Sons of Rich Men. There was a Klondyke dinner at the University Club- last night. Milton 8.

Minister -to Peru, is at-the Occidental, Mr. Dudley is on his way to his post in Lima, and will sail on the 9th'inst. on'the steamer San Blas. He will go by way of Panama, and theérice-down the coast seven days’ travel to Callao. The trip from here, there- fore, will require abont.a month. Mr. Dudley is as yet scarcely 40 years of age. -He is tall, has black hair, and eyes and mustache of the same color. . Altoget ber he is a fine-looking man, as many beople in this part of ‘the State who have met ‘him are aware. Asked about the gold mines of Peru, about which there is now an said that he had nict yet learned all Le de: earn they were in thé mountains'in the ne unusual amount of interest, Mr. Dudley sired about them, but from wkhat he could ighbortood of Lake Titicaca. *It shall be my first duty wheu I get there,’’ saild he, “i0 look up all the facts I can about these mines, These facts. will be:given in my report to the Government. There'is an unusual.air of plausibility about the discovery recently of extraordinary mines there, for Prescott and other famous writers long ago set forth the richness of ‘the country in.gold. :If therefore looks not unlikely. that recent stories of the refind- ing of great gold mines may be correct.” - - Mr. Dadiey inquirert about Mr: Wilson, the mew Minister to Chile, appointed by ..

SMALL CREWS AND BRAVE. The Local Fleet That Will Bear Small Parties Northward. A Score of Vessels Will De- part Within a Few Days. P. C. S. S, Walla Walla. . S. Umatilla. Steamer Humboldi. Steamer Farallon. Steam schooner Noyo. Steam schooner Pitcairn. Steam schooner National City Steam schooner North Fork. Steamer Progreso. Steam schooner Caspar. Giasoline schooner Chetco. Schooner La Ninfa. Schooner Sailor Boy. Schooner Novelty. Schooner Scotia. Steam launch Hettie B. There is an almost hysterical scramble at this port for vessels of any sort that can be fitted up to carry a few passengers and soms mules and other freight. Those named above =are the principal vessels of this port that are booked to leave within the next ten days or two weeks for the north. All but the regular steamers Walla Walla and Umatilla will carry special expeditions, and tbey will, in the aggregate, take some hundreds more from here a part of the way to the gold fields. More charters are being sought and the list will be added to during the week. Sach a ecramble for sea-going craft was never known before at this port. Even smart steamers like the Humboldt and the Farallon are being taksn off regular and lucrative runs and being pressed into the Alaskan service. A great number of enterprising people have conceived the idea of chartering a vessel for the trip to Dyea or St. Michael and filling her at so much per passedger and a number of them have succeeded in launching their enter- prises. In several instances the vessei- owners themselves have grasped at the opportunity. Probably the first to get away will be the steam schooner Noyo, which is being made ready at Mission-street wharf by the J. 8. Kimball Company, her owners, and D. J. Grauman. She was to have itad yesterday, but will not get away till to- morrow. Twelve women are among the 110 passengers that are booked for the trip. They are all reiatives of miners who are going on the steamer or who are in the country now. Captain H. Levin- son will command the steamer and an ef- fort will be made to make another trip after the Novo returns, twenty or twenty- tive days hence. Among the passengers will be A. C. Scott, late Mayor of Spring- fietd, Ill., and his son, About thirty mules and burros will be taken along for packing outfits over the range. The Pitcairn will not leave on Friday because the passengers, especially tino women, entered a mighty protest against sailing on that unlucky day. So next Saturday, the 6th_inst., will see this old«-Thomas Meyer and M. Mercie. missionary crait off with a party of ninety or a hundred. The former number is now booked for passage, As all the other expeditions from here it is largely made up from the interior of the Siate, Bix from Eureka engaged passage yester- day. Four are from Inyo County; five, inciuding three women, are from Fruit- vale; George Schweider and a party of four are from Merced, two are expert miners from Colorado and another Colo- rado man engaged passage by wire vester- aay. Twoblacksmiths, two boat-builders, one photographer and one dentist, Dr. Mouir of this City, are on the list. James Vurink of San Rafael, who knows a lot about mules and donkeys, goes along to boss the packing. Sixty mules, shipped from Kern County for the purpose, wiil be taken along, and when the party is transferred to the lakes the mules will be put into the general packing business. The Pitcairn will be attended by the schooner Grayhound of 115 tons burden, in which the mules and a large part of the supplies will be shipped. The party will go to Skazaway and take the new White Pass trail, which is said to be lower and easicr, though a trifle longer. The steamer Farallon will also sail on Saturday. Her passenger-list is not vet large, but three women are among those who have engaged passage. The Faralion is completely fitted for the passenger trade and can accommodate seventy-five. She has been running for some time be- tween here and Yaquina Bay and was taken off this runon her arrival yester- day. She will go direct to Dyea and al- ready has a large amount of freight to carry. The Caspar-is booked to sail to-morrow. She has yet a smail passenger-list. The new and fast steamer Humboldt | has been chartered by Mayor Wood of Seattle fora company in wnich he is in- terosted, and will leave here for Seattle in a few days. Sheisto go to_Si. Michaels with boats, etc., for an expedition up the Yukon, . The steam schooner National City, long in the lnmber trade, will leave on Saiur- day with a party of sixty or more men | who will take chances on getting up the Yukon River 2000 miles before navigation closes. She 18 chartered by Herrfman & Milis, and the refitted steam launch Hat- tie B will be taken along on deck ready 10 be swung into the water at the mouth of the river. The launch is to tow a barge up the river and the barge is now being built in sections ready to be quickly put together on the river. On each side will be ten long sweeps, like the oars of an ancient galley, which the passengerscan | work when the launch finds the job too much for it. The raft will draw eighteen inches of water and will bear sixty tons. Tools and materials for boats ana sleds The members of the party recognize the anzer of getting caushit on the river, but believe there is an even chance of their getting through by boat safely. If they should be frozen up a few hundred miles from Dawson they are ready tobuild sleds and go on with what supplies they can haul on sleds, leaving a guard over what isleft and possibly returning for the rest. The fare by this expedition is $225. Among those who are going1s a party of tbree composed of H. L. Bienfield, Ray- mond Robbins, the young attorney, and John Le Veuve, a miner. This trio plan to go first to Stewar: Creek, three hundred miles beyond Dawson, to precspect and then to take chances with the country gen- erally. The schooners Sailor Boy and Novelty go lo Seattle 10 carry freight northward vnder charter to the Norti American Trading Company. OLD COMSTOCKERS. A Party of Them Bound for the Klondyke. Among the arrivals at the Russ House are J. M. Meehan, J. J. McKianon, T. M. McCabe and P. SuvhMivan, all Comstock miners of many years’ experience. They | are oound for the Klondyke, ana will leave Saturday or Sunday on the steamer South Coast. With them will go about forty other miners from various parts of the country. “We have excellent outfits, and are not at all afraid of the bLardships nor the cold,” said Mr. Meehan last night. ““Thers is preity cold weather in Nevada, | sicce it sometimes goes down as low as 40 degrees below zero, “We have been working, too, down m the Comstock mines, where it is so hot that every stitch of clothes you haveis off, and you work as naked as the day you were born. Men who can stand this ought to some extent be prepared for the peculiar weather of the Y ukon. “In ail probability “we will be gone at least two years. The reason we are going in now is that we will bave at least a month to prospect that we woula not have if we remained here and did not start till spring. Ouar outfits are as good as we can buy, and we are satisfied we can get along if anybody can.’ Besides the Nevada miners H. M. Davis of Modesto and Andrew Johnson, a miner of Tuolumne County, are going, They are staked by W. Hatton and others of Modesto. They have a ton of fooa each, including cooking appliances and weapons. e, From Mine to Mint. ™ After being ciosed since July 14 the Unaited States Mint was opened early yes- terday morning by the new Superin‘en- dent, Frank A. Leach. Among the early callers were a number of Klondyke miners, who were desirous of having their gold dust and nuggets from the far north son- verted into the coin of the realm. Many of these were young men who have so far escaped public notice, but who neverthe- less have made thelr tortunes along the Yukon and its tributaries. Nearly all of these had their gold de- posited with Well, Fargo & Co. for safe keeping until the Mint opened, and their first move after breakfast was to remove it to the receiving department of the Mint. There they stood inline and emptied their treasure out of the buckskin bags upon trays, which were weighed by Major Nagle, who placed it in registered recep- tacles to be assayed. Among those who took their gold to tue Mint were Thomas J. Kelly, N. E. Pickett, Joseph Desroches, They say that there are still others who will take their gold there as soon as tue rush is over. The miners at the Commercial Hotel, who airived here on the steamer Portland, Yesterday took their gold to the Mint to bave it madeinto coin. There was maybe as much as $200,000 of it, but nobody knows exactly. It was taken from the Safe Da- vosit building, where it had been placed for s:x(e);eepxgug. and carted over to Uncle Sam’s big building on Fifth street. The miners who owned the gold were N. . Plcoug. secretary of the Society of Alaska Pioneers; Joe Crazolais, R. Mer- cier, J. de Roche, H. Dore, J. E. Boucher, Cash Ancher, J. Gavelisr and F. Morrin, Tue gold was that which came from the diggines in boxes and which remained 1n- tact during the long trip and 1n fact until now. S Traders for the North. The Baltoa D:velopment Company has been iucor_pomz»d for the purpose of trac- ing and mining in Alaska, the Klondyke Valiey, the Northwest Territory and else- w_-‘h«rs. The capital stock is fixed at 250, of which $250 each has been sub- scribad by Cnarles M. Anderson, C. W. Jennings, H. G. Miller, W. W. Sanderson and Charles E. S8anderso P 0 Gt Manslaughter Charged. Manuel Krull, the boy who accidentally shot Gus Bullwinkle at 113 Oregon street Friday. 1ast, was again arresied yesterday morning on 8 chaige of mansiaughier, Bullwinkle having died Sanday. Krull was released on £500 bonds, aceeptea by Judge Low. PAID A TRIBOTE 70 HARNEHAN a Model of His Great Statue, |It Is to Be Ereoted in Wash- ington on a Site to Be Selected. | Exhibited Before the County Homeo- pathic Medical Society Last Evening, At a meeting of the San Francisco | County Homeopathic Medical Society : held last evening at Druids’ Hall, 417 Sut- ed a most unique model of the Hahne- | mann monument, which is now completed and awaiting action on the part of the Government as to a site for its erection in | Washington, D. C. The model is one of three that have been made of the original | and is a gem in itself, | Tho bistory of the monument dates back tothe year 1892, when, at a meeting of | the American Institute of Homeopathy | (the National Homeopathic Association), | 2 movement was inaugurated to erect at the National capitala monument in honor of Samuei Hahnemann, the great scientist and philosopher and father of homeop- athy. This monument was to be a mag- nificent work of art and a grand memorial worthy of the man and his achievements. Having discussed the matter thoroughly a committee was appointed by the insu- tute with authority to carry out the un- dertaking. The accepted sketch and specifications provided that the monument be built of the finest gray granite, with statue and bas-reliefs of staniard bronze. The form 15 that of the Greek exhedra and is elliptical in plan. Four steps in Iront lead up to a platform upon the lesser axis, at the back of which rises the super- structure. A sitting statue of Hahne- mannu, heroic in size, on a granite pedes- tal, is vlaced in the central portion, which is composed of four columns supporting an entablature, above which is an attica with the inscription “Habnemann.” Oa the base of the pede-tal is the motto *‘Similia Similibus Curantur.” Between the two front columns and forming th background of the statue is a niche, also elliptical in plan, terminating in a semi- circular arch above the impost. The line of the impost continues on either side, forming the top of the curved walls, which end at the extremity of the larger axis of the plan in decorated amperes crowned witn acroteria. The base courses of these walls form seats occupying the space between the central portion and the end terminations. The upper portion of the niche behind the statne is to be decorated in mosaic, with a design composed of the foliage and flower of tne cinchona plant. On either side of the arch are decorative emblems |1 bas-relief, the bowl and serpent, sym- | bols of wisdom, and the lamp and book, typical of knowledge and instruciion, the the latter with a wreath of laurels. At the keystone of the arch appearsa lion’ head, symbolic of strength and leader- ship. The four commemorative bronze tablets are placed in two panels on either side of the niche upon the curvec¢ walls, representing in bas-relief the four epochs of Hahnemanr’s life. The statue itself is the culmination of the plan of the monument. The Gornam Company has done the casting and has produced a bronze of exquisite quality and finish. By the expression of the fea- tures ad the pose of the figure it isde- signed to convey the characteristics of the vhilosopher, philanthropist and teacher. The granite supersiructure has been exe cuted under the careful supervision of the architect, Mr. Harder. After proper legal advice and most care- ful scrutiny of models, drawings and specifications a contract was signed for the erection of this grand structure, at the cost of $48,800, exclusive of the foun- dation. The monument complete, in- cluding foundation, with fititing acces- sories and surroundings, will cost $75.000. This amount hes been and is being raised by contributions from the profession and patrons of homeopathy. That the con- tributions have been liberal is shown by the fact that notwithstanding the Snane cial stringency of the past two or three years, work on the monument has gone steadily forward and it is ncw finished. Bculptor and architect have vied with each other in perfecting the details of this unrivaled composition, resulting in a work of art unsurpassed in this country. In fact, it has excited more comment than any similar work in the United States. Thoronghly classical and of commandine appearance, regarded in art circles asa remarkable work of art, it will be an orna- ment to the city of Washington and a per- manent tribute to the founder of homeo- painy. The directors of several of the art gal- leries and art schools of the country have applied for copies of the original modeis, one of which isthe property of Dr, Martin. Railroad Commissioners’ Case.

A Committee of Seven Will Endeavor to Raise the Necessary Funds. The Salvation Army’s great coloniza- tion scheme to assist the unemployed without throwing others out of work is rapidly nearing consummation. A meeting of those interested in the plan was held in the assembly room of the Mills building yesterday afternoon, at which L. R. Ellert, George E. Butler, Charles Montgomery, Major Winchell, P. N. Lilienthal, Daniel Meyer, W. 8. Green, William Bunker ana Hugh Craig were present. A lengthy report was received from the ways and means committee, the substance of which is as follows: During the eight weeks which have elapsed since our appointment we nave investigated matters thoroughly and secured much valu- able information, “Our mission was to find some kind of work for the unemployed which | wouid benefit them withont crowding others out. We find after caceful investigation that if the unemployed be placed upon a (6w acres of land they wiil be able to produce sufficient vegetation and meat for their own sustenance, and by devoting a major part-of their time to the sugar-beet culture tney will be able not only 1o pay for their homesieads wilhin a few years, but also to make: improvements upon them. Good sofi, 1f well cultivated, will vield . from twelve to twenty tons of beels to thie acre, and in many places this has been excceded. Re- finers par $4 per ton, and atter the expenses| | of seeaing, plowing, hurvesting, ireights; etc.. | | have been deducted a net profit of about $2 | per ton will remuin for the farmer. | Mr. Spreckels has offered a piece. of ‘good | beet land at the price which he-paid for itand | will ailow eizit'to ten years’ time ‘to pay for | it. The puichase of necessary iarming imple: | ments, catte, theerection. of buildings and transportation of familics will reqiire an-ad- from ~ $25,000 to: | ditional expenditure . of | $30,000. Major Brengle of the Salvation Army, | who s actively interesting himself in'the arrangements, said that at least $10,000 will bs required vefore the work can.be fairly started, and he mad: a motion; | that” a sub-cornmittee: of seven -be-ap- | pointed to raise the necessary funds. The { motion was carried and the committee | will be appointed at the next regalar | meeting. A resolution was also passed to the| effect that the general committee be in- | creased from fifteen to thirty members; the chairman to choose the new members. | An election for regular officers was held, | which resnited as follows: L. R. Ellert, | president; Georze H. Maxwell, secretary; Daniel Meyer, treasurer. Major Brengle has started the prepara- tory work of selenting suitable famliies for colonists by sending about sixty appli- cants to the hop fields, where theirin-. dustry is being carefully observed, and in almost every cass very encouraging res plies have been received from the employ- ers. Wuen the plans are completed Com- mander Booth Tucker will come outto look after the final arrangements, SUGAR MACHINERY. Nearly Foity Thousand Dollars Duty Paid by Claus Spreckels for the Salinas Plant.
