The Farallon is the boat taat first | cut rates between here and the sound | three years ago, and she is a speedy and handsome littie eraft. Charles Conklin, her agent, says that the Farallon will probably make a trip from the sound on | her return from Dyea, and that she will go regularly into the service to Alaska next spring. Amoug those who are booked for the trip by the Farallon are Mr. and Mrs. C. Alvin Plummer, of this City. Mr. Plummer is well known in the Masonic_{fraternity as the editor of the Irestle Board. Twenty-five qf the passengers booked to sail in the Pitcairn on Monday were yes- terday transf rreq in a bunch to the Far- | allon and M. F.

The litle gasoline schooner Chetco will probably get away for the Yukon with a small party to-day. Other expeditions will start daring next week. g CONSULATE AT DAWSON. Candidates for the Office Already in Evidence. In all probability it will be but a short time until the United States establishes a consulate at Dawson City. A movement looking toward the appointment of a Con- sul at the metropolis of the gold fields is now under way, and it is probable that the Government will grant the petition, which, it is said, is now being circulated, asking for the appointment of a consnlar representative without hesitation. That there will be plenty of candidates for such a position, should it be created, seems assured, and that the fature Daw- son consulate will be an important one, in the licht of present advices, also seems reasonably ascured. Already influence is being brought to bear upon the officials at Washington and uvon the President in anticipation of the apoointment of a Consul at Dawson and several bave ajnounced their intention of becoming candidates for the position. As yet, however, it is a race withouta goal in_sight, but that fact does not seem to affect the zeal of those who have entered the lists, The leader at present seems 10 be Edmund H. Clear, who leaves for St. Michaels on the National City next Satur- day. FEVER NOTES. Government Statistician Dunham En Route to the Yukon Goldfields. The statistical expert S. C. Dunham, sent to the Klondyke by the United States Department of Labor to study and report upon the conditions there, is at the Baldwin, and will leave on Monday in the Humboldt for St. Michaels. He will report on the gold production, labor, cost of living, the opportunities for capital and so on, and it is expeeted that he will get his report to Washington in time for its publication as a bulletin by March next, when it will be of valus to those in- tending to go in the spring. Edward Holland, proprietor of the Com- mercial Hotel, has received a reply from his telepram to the Dominion Govern- ment at Ottawa asking if duties would be collected on miners’ outfita. The reply reads: Miners’ outfits imported into Klondyke are subject to duty. JorN McDOUGALD, er of Customs. The Umatilla, the next regular steamer for the north, will sail on the 9th, and a good many Klondykerz will nelp crowd ner. The steamer Noyo, which gotaway late night before last, furnished twoot the 3it- tle incidents that will fill the story of the Yukon rush. An hour before she left the steward got mad at finding himself short of belp to take care of the crowd on board, and he struck then and taere. The diffi- culty was patched up, and when the steamer got nearly out to the Heads some ot the people with mules and burros on board discovered that the supply of baled straw was awfuily short for forty mules, and raised a determined protest. The cap- tain said that it was their business to get feed for their animais aboard; but the steamer put back to Meikes wharf in the night and wait-d there until a foraging expedition had rustied up more hay for Are i the hur-icane deck. The Yukon gold fever has struck the The Steam:r Farallon, Which Is Ecuad for the Iy El Dorado. ironworkers at the Union Iron Works and struck them. hard. Nearly all want to go, but only a limited nnmber will be able on account of the lack of funds. For several days past a dozen of the molders who have managed to save up a few dol lars have been serious!y talking of t venture, and it is now about decided that when the spring opens at least a dozen will form a party ana start for the Kion- dyke. Tne preliminary preparationsare made, and unless the revorts received be- tween now and the latter part of the year are exceedingly discouraging they will be among the first to leave this City on the opening of the Yukon in the spring. At present the adventurers ¢o not wish to be known. Ned Foy displays above the Grand Ho- tel bar a gold nugget that beats anything the Kiondyke has dreamed of producing. It weighs nearly a pound, is valued at §320 and it was taken out of the gravel in the Garnott drift mine in Sierra County, this State, a very short time ago. It be- longs to Joseph B. Hughes, one ot the owners of the miue, who rather now snitfs at the Klondyke. TO TOW BARGES. Means by Which Much Time Can Be Sav:d In Landing Passen- gers and Suppl'es. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn.,, Aug. b The last of the numerous and sundry in- novations that have been brought out by the unprecedented rush to the goldficlds of Alaska was made public to-day in the announcement that at least two and prob- ably three of the vessels of the Puget Sound Tugboat Company’s fleet would be utilized for the transportation to the north of supplies, pack animals, etc., of minews bound to the Klondyke, The first vessel of the fleet to get away will be the Pioneer, which will tow a tlotilla of barges to Dyes. There are no wharfage facilities at that point, and it is the intention of the barge people to do transferring of passengers, stock and supplies from vessels which may o eitber there or to Skaguay. At present the transferring is done in surfboa dangerous and tedious undertaking. W the use of barges a vessel can be d charged in about a quarter the time con- sumed by smail boats; and as timeisa very material matter with those stariing this late, the barge people will undoubt- edly reap a rich harvest from the north- ward trend of traflic. To partially offset the charter price of the tug the horses will be transposted north on the barges. Another vessel soon to go will ba the tug Holyoke, with Captain Frank Clinger in command. Thisvessel has been chartered by the Seattle and Yukon Trading Com- pany for a trip to St. Michaels. The ves- sel will take up a large cargo ot supplies and pessibly one or two barges with a €argo. cially selected for the trip on account of their immense fuel capacity, they being the only craft of that size in the Northwest capable of carrying enough coal for the trip. R TRANSFER OF MACHINERY. It Wil Be Taken From the Old Steamer Empire City and Pu: Into a New Boat. STOCRTGX, Car.,, Aug. 5—The ma- chinery of the California Navigation and Improvement Company’s old steamer Emnpire City has been sold, and is now be- ing shipped to the bay. It will takea voyage up the Yukon River to the Klon- dyke region. Little is known about the project in’ which the transfer of the ma- chinery is involved. The purchaser is the Jardine Machine Company of San Fran- cisco, but it is acting evidently as an agent for other parties. It is rkported that Hay and Wright of Oakland are building a hull, in which the machinery will be placed. The latter is in good condition, and is just the thing for the purpose de- sired, being intended for a boat of light draught. Itanswered its purpose in the old Empire City, the hull of which has now gone to decay, and will probably give equally good service in the new boat. The machinery consists of a pair of engines and everything that goes with them, be- sides hog-posts, fittings, etc. The com- pany expects to sell, also, a lot of chains, pipes and things of that character. A wheel for the new boat is to be constructea here at the Navigation Company’s ship yard. Three other applications for boats or machinery :ave been made of the naviga- tion people within the last few days. Two were from San Francisco parties and one from a Ban Diego man. One of the former wanted a boat and its complete equip- ment, to be huilt here. Figures were given in each case and taken under advisement. moe s But Berry Was Not There. LOS ANGELES, Can, Aug. 5—It was reported here this afternoon that Clarence Berry, the lucky Kiondyker, had arrived in the city and had taken roome at the Van Nuys Hotel. When an announce- ment to that effect was published in an evening paper it caused such a rush of people to that hotel that the clerks were driven nearly distracted in the attempt to convince them they had been hoaxed. Hundreds of people were disapnointed in their hopes of getting some Klondyke - formation at first hand and looking upon Kliondyke gold. « ———— Mail for the Yukon. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 5.—The Postmaster-General has authorized the Alaska Commercial Company to carry mail for one trip from San Francisco to Unalaska, St. Michaels and other points for the Yukon. Mail will leave San Fran- cisco in a few days LY DECLINES, Large Sales Dumprd on the Market and Prices Go Down. L NEW YORK, N. Y., Avg. 5—Amid great excilement wheat prices sold off about 3 cents this morning. The crowd fully expected a repetition of recent con- ditions abroad, but were stacgered at finding adeciine of 114 pence in Liverpool futures, after a sligut opening advance. To back this up were foreign selling or- ders and 4 marks’ dec.ine in Berlin. A stream of long wheat at once bevan to pour into the local pit, increasing as orders from outside speculators swelled tie selling movement. The first sales were practically 3 cents a bushel under last night, September selling at 8314, a sheer drop of 27 from yesterday’s top notct. From this point values pulled up to 847¢ on rumors of fresh business to be addeu to the 1,500,000 bushels worked yes- terday. CHICAGO, Trr, Aug 5—The steady rise in wheat was ‘checked to-day. Sep- tember option closed at a net decline of 3 cents. The decline of 1 to 14 pence in Liverpool was_the principal reason ad- vanced for disposing of hoidings. Re- celpts were in excess of last year, but exporters sold 395,000 busheis bere and about eighty-five boutloads a: the sea- board.

Admirals of the Powers Frepared to Prevent Turkish Warships From Entering Canea Bay. LONDON, Exc., Aug. 5.—In the House of Commons to-day Goschen, First Lord of the Admiralty, said the foreign ad- mirals in Cretan waters had informed the Porte that they would not permit the entry of Turkish warships into Canea | Bay. Curzon said the powers had agreed upcn the amount of indemnuity {0 be paid by Greece to Turkey, but as the agreement comprised only one item he would not disclose the amount or any particulars until arrangements were concluded. CANEA, Crere, Aug. 5—Upon receint of the news tuat the Turkish squadron from the Dardanelles was coming into these waters (he foreign warships got up steam and the international troops on shore have taken measures to anticipate any possible complications. The report and these preparations have greatly ex- citeda the Mussulmans. The admirals and commanders met yes- terday on board the Italian flagship to discuss the matter. In view of the possi- ble arrival of the squadron a French war- ship has been dispatched to Sitia, an Italian man-of-war to Suda Bay, an Aus- trian to Castelli and a Russian to Retimo. el ON THE CaNADIaN ROCKIES. A Party of University Men Succeed in Scaling Mount Lefroy. LAGGAN, B. C., Aug. 5.—A party of en- thusiastic New England college men, sound of wind and limb, with one from New York and another from Philadelphia, have just succeeded in planting an Ameri- can flag upon the summit of Mount Le- froy, one of the highest and most stub- born peaks of the Canadian Rockies. It is the first time the mountain has been scaled, unless by wandering trappers and Indians, although several attempts have been made. x The party consisted of Professor Parker of Columbia, Professor Thompson of the University of Pennsylvania, Professors Fay apd Mitchell of Tu.ts College and L ttle 'of Bowdoin College. (With them was George H. Dixon, the crack climber of the English Alpine Club. They were accompanied by expert guides from Swilz- erland. The cost of the expedition was partly defrayed by the Appalachian Moun- tain Club ot Boston and Em\y by private subscription. After’ makine all needful observations and photographs the party descended without a mishap. Mount Lefrov lies at the head of the valley of Lake Louise, abouttwenty miles from the line of the Canadian Pacific where it crosses the divide. Its height, measured by topographic survey, is 11,260 feet, although the barometric readings of each location of the party made it several hundred feet higher. STORY OF +° INTRIGUE, Dowager Czarine Said Plotted in Vain. BERLIN, GerMANY, AUg. 5.—_The Ham- burgische correspondent publishes a cur- ious story about the Dowager Czarina. It says that last May she :r_iedA to secure the regency, but in her insistent en- deavors to get Emperor Nichqlaa to go abroad on account of alleged illness the Czar's suspicions were :rouse.d. He heard of the intrigue, assembled his bodyguard and summoned the Dowager Empress and other court intriguers, including the Minister of the 1mperial housenold, Count Voronizaff-Daschkoff. All were con- founded with tue discovery of the plot. Count Vorontzoff-Daschkoff “was com- pelled to resign, and it is probable that the Dowager Empress will reside per- manently at Copenhagen.

BALTIMORE, Mp., Aug. 5.—Secretary | of Agriculture Wilson, in an interview in | this week’s Manufacturers’ Record re- | ferring to the conditicn of American farm interests says: “The increase dur- | ing the past year of farm products and | cattle has amounted to hundreds of | millions of dollars and may be §500,000,000 as has been rougbly estimated. The in- | creased value of the wheat crop aloneis | estimated from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000. | There has been a general increase all | along the line and just as the food of livestock has increased in value so have | beef cattle, sheep, hogs and other stock | furnishing meat.” Becretarv Wilson savs at an urgent re- | quest McKinley will make in the falla | trip through the entire South and give a | thorough swudy to the agricultural con- | dition in that region with a view of seeing that if it can offer any sugeestions for | imorovement in the markets or the diver- | sification of crops. | “One general need of the South,” he said,” *“is a closer relation with Euopean | markets. 1 have already placed my:eif in correspondence with several ocean steam- | ship companies to induce them to estab- | lish lines d rect between the ports of lhe‘ Gulf of Mexico and those of Europe, the | steamships to be provided with reirigera- tors so that perishable farm products can be shipped expeditiousiy to all the markets of Burope. “The President was much impressed by his brief trip through that portion of the South during his visit to the Nashville | Exposition.

Negotiations bave been pending for a week for the transier of the Baldwin Hotel lease now held by M. Stone & Co. The present management of the big hostelry says the hotel has amply repaid its investment, and everything in con- nection with the business is on a sub- stantial and profitable basis. Those whose interests are at stake, however, have for some time been search- ing for a new manager. Several davsago O. W. Brennagp, proprietor of the Pleas- anton Hotel, was approached and asked to take charge of the Baldwin, but he re- fused. Colonel J. 8. Young, proprietor of the Russ House, was next approached, but he also refused to consider the offer. and the effort to obtain a new manager was for the time abandoned. Frank R. Whitcomb, J. C. Boyle, N. F. Walter, H. W. Lake and W. E. Lee will consiitute a corporation which will take charge of the hotel. Lake will be the largest stockholder, his interest amonnt- ing to $25,000. Whitcomb has subscribed $24,970 and Walter, Lee and Boyle $10 each, making a total subscribed stock of $50,000. Lake, who has managed the hotel since M. Stone & Co. assumed the proprietor- ship, will remain in his position for the present as assistant manager, but the changes which will ultimately be made are secrets which no one will divalge. — . o e MUSICIANS SUSPENDED.
