Will Be Constructed Over the Summlt of Chiicoot Pass, 1 Back of Dyea. ALASRA, Aug. 2L, —The Dyea ke Transporiation Company, which has been recently organized here, ve the gold-hunters much perspira- tion and make the trip to the Klondike as enjoyable s a Bunday outing compared with the exhausting labor now necessary to transport supplies and ontfits over snow-topped mountsins to the smooth | lakes beyond. The scheme of the company includes the construction of an aerial cable tram- way from the foot of the canyon to and over the summit of the Chiicoot Pass, back of Dyea. It is considered one of the greatest engineering feats ever attempted among mountains. San Francisco, Seattle and Juneau capital is behind the enter- prise. E. F. Cassel, auditor of tne Nowell Trading Company of Juneau, left for San Francisco to-day to buy machinery and on other business connected with the un- dertaking. It wou!d be difficult to find anywhere on earth a more typical mountain view than is beheld from the summit of Chilcoot | Pass. Above, below and almost at one’s elbow are glaciers of melting ice and snow quivering on the brinks of precipices. So deep are the canyons that heavy shadows hide their rocky floors, and the torrents of water rushing through them, though heard, cannot be seen. The swift wind howls, even at this season of the year, through the narrow, winding walls of rock among the clouds with such velocity that one standing on some dizzy, jagged N \\\\\3 N, Pack Animals Crossing a Stream in the Mountains on the White Pass Route. denly finds the brim of his hat b'own down over bis s and he:d there, com- pletely blindfoiding him. The eternsl snows around the summit are dottea with 1 st chapeaus. From the summit the de- scent looks too perpendicular to attempt. s in the feet would greatly increase the safety of the climb. Itis a fail 1000 feet straight up or down. Men far below look no larger :han climbing ants, It is from this awful height that the Dyea and Klondike Transportation Com- pany intends to swin of cables of wire. Freight only wi handled. Loss cf life will not beri in carrying men. Each of the cars wiil teke in a ton of supplies, to be for at so much vper pou happy day for the Klondikers next season when this tramway is finisbed. All sup- | plies are now carried up to the summit on the backs of packers, a slow, laborious and very expensive means of tran:poria- tion. The packer must pull himself up from rock rock and crawl from shelf to shelf. A part of the scheme of tie company is to build a wharf at Dyea. Fiies for the wharf have already been cut. The com- pany also intends to construct a wagon road, including bridges acress streams, to a House, near the foot of the summit, which Wwiil be the lower station of ihe busy tram- way, and run a wagon train from the dock to the swinging cars. A line of boats will be put on the chaia of three lakes, separated by narrow portages, on the Yukon side of the pass, which will carry the freight brought up b I y the tramcars to three miles of Lake L Wagons will again pick up the outfits and carry them to Lake erman. Linderman. The motive power for the | tramway wiil be water direct or electricity generated by power from a water-wheel. The estimate of the cost of these improve- menis is §30,000. They are expected to divert all the business to Dyea and leave Skaguay an abandoned city. If the rush continu-s next spring as it has begun, next summer the company will also build two large hotels to sccommo- date the crowds. One will be situatea on the water frontat Dvea and the other at the foot of the pass, sixteen miles away. Har HorrMax. MAKES A RICH STRIKE. George Lemmon Writes of a Now Discovery and Sends for Four Friends. TACOMA, WasH., Aug. 30.—A letter to | the Ledger bas just been received from | thiei was allowed to go on her way. the north fork of the MacMillan River, Alaska, from George Lemmon, addressed to his wife in uth Tacoma, giving par- ticulars of a fabulously rich strike on this tributary of the MacMillan River. He and his partner went there from the Yu- kon on information from an Indian who accompanied them last spring, and hs says that they have struck a locality her than the Klondike, In three months they have made a clean-up of §55,000. He says tuey have a large bucket and a bean can full of nuggets, ana, al- though they have no scales, they believe it will reach the amount named. They have staked off five claims and be tells his | wife to send up four friends whom he des- ignates as soon as possible to locate the adjoining properties, the law being that one man can locate culy one claim. The letter was sent down by an Indian, who took $500 or $600 worth of nuggets to lay 1n a fresh supply for tbe winter. Lem- mon says he will not be out befors next summer, and thinks his_friends can reach there by the middle of October over the Chilcoot Pass. MacMilian River is be- tween 200 and 300 miles soath of the Klon- dike and until lately has been an unex- plored region. He expresses fear of scurvy breaking out this winter unless they can get some green vegetables in, but he adds that nothing would induce him to leave the diggings until next year, as by that time they are confident of having several hundred thousand doilars. ST B, TORTURE ON THE TRAILS. Frank N. Bliss lells of Hardships Endured on the Way to the Klondikz, PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 30.—“I'm $700 out and almost sick unto death,” said | Frank N. Bliss of San Francisco, just buck | opened that he paid little attention to the from Skaguay, as he lay on a couch yes- terday in his sister’s residence on Zivier street. “Ido notsay it profanely,” con- point, looking wiere next to step, sud- | tinued Bliss to the reporter, “but if there the lofty tramway | veint on the trail known as the Stone | ! is anytbing nearer approaching hell npon ' this earth than the horrible hardship and trials a‘tendant upon. the passage of | either the Dyea or Skaguay trails into the ! Yukon couniry by a man unused to severe | manual labor, then I believe I'li take the | chances with hades rather than tackle | this other place.” After devoting half an hour in describ- | ing the fearful hardships the Klondike | pilerim has to suffer Mr. Bliss said: “Do not think mine isan isolatel nce of the suffering thatis being en- dured in that cursed country. There are hundreds, yes, I might say thonsands, of en, men unused to severe manual labor, | who are now every night stretching their | pain-racked, musole-strained forms in wet blankets on the rain-sosked ground of Chilkoot and White passes. They are, many of them, too proud to turn back. Thank God, my pride was stunted 1n| childhood.” | “Will youreturn in the spring?’ was asked. | “Not I,” responded Mr. Bliss, with an | emphasis there was no mistaking. *“Two ( of my pariners came back with me and the fonrth had been unable to dispose of | his outfit when we leit on the Willam- ette.” A letter received here from Juneau illustrates that women in the Alaska g regions are asamenable to tne law as men in ail respects. Among the pas- sengers going north on the steamer El- jer's first trip was Mrs. Ralph Boyker, | the wife of one of the most successful | business men so far in the Klondike ard | a sister-in-law of E.J. McCormack, the well-known restaurateur here. On the | trip up Mrs. Boyker was robbed of a valu- | able gold watch and chain, a prized souve- | nir. She reported her loss to the commit- tee of crder and safety aboard the steamer | and suspicion of the theft fell upon a woman occupying a stateroom adjoining | that of Mrs. Boyker. Upan the arrival of | the steamer at Juneau the commiitee | waited upon the suspécted woman, but 1she positively denied any fnowledge of | | whet became of Mrs. Boyker's jewelry. | The committee, however, had so thor-| | oughly investizated the case that it was certain of the suspect being the thief, and she was informed that unless she pro- duced the watch and chain she would not | | be allowed to proceed into the interior. | In fact she was threatened with deporta- tion on the return trip of the Elder. This | threat had the desired effect and proved | the committee’s good judgment, for an | | hour later Mrs, Boyker again was in possession of her watch and chain., The in- | i | e TO SEIZE THE EUGENE. Passengers on the Bristol Propose to Get Even for the Delay In the Journey. VICTORIA, B. C.,, Aug, 30.—It is re- ported on the euthority of one of those at the meeting that the miners going norih on the Bristol to-night, at a private con- clave this morning, came to an agreement among themselves to seize the Eusene, the stern-wheel steamer which accompanies the Bristol, on arrival at St. Michael. This movement is in revenge against the | charterers of the Bristal for the delay in sailing, although they had agreed to pay all botel expenses of the passengers while | in Victoria. The wminers claim, however, | that the delay bas imperiled their chances { of reaching Dawson City and propose to take charge of the Eugene in case theyare frozen in on the Yukon. Saage o Sam Made a Rich Strike. TACOMA, WasH., Aug. 30 —That busi- ness is more than rushing at Skaguay 1s evidenced by the arrival to-day of Cyrus Matthews, formerly a Tacoma merchant. He and Tony Lubelski, formerly a second- band dealer, went to Staguay on the sieamer Willamette to open a newsstand | and general store. Now Matthews re-; turns after & new stock. | Matthews bringsdown the interesting news that a middle-aged German, whom he knows as Sam, reached £kaguay direct from Dawson about two weeks before the Willamette arrived at Skaguay. He thinks this man’s name is Schmidt, but is not | certain. This German Klondiker cla‘med | to have §26 000 in gold in his tent, which | Lubelski afterward went in and inspected. | Matthews was so busy getiing his store German’s story and bad no time to see the gold for himself. Lpbelski told him, however, that it was there all right in sacks, HASSACRED BY MOONSHINERS Fate of a Posse of Six Brave Officers of the Law. Ambushed and Shot in the Mountain Wilds of _Arkansas. Reward Offered by the Govern- ment for the C:pture of the Assassins. LITTLE ROCK, ARk., Aug. 30.—Six men were probably massacred in the wilds of the mountains of Pope County yester- day afterncon. Two were killed outright, two were fataily wounded and lett tor dead and two have mysteriously disappeared and are either dead or are being held cap- tive by the bloodibirsty bandits who com- mitted the awful crime. The killed are Captain B. F. Taylor of Searcy County, a deputy United States Marsaal, and Joe Dod:on of Stone County, deputy marshal. The fatally wounded are two brothers named Renfrow of Searcy County. The names of the missing men are not known, but they are supposed to be deputy sheriffs from an adjoining county. The victims were all officers, deputy marsbals and deputy sheriffs, and the men who did the awful work of carnage are moonsliners of the boldest and most desperate class. The scene of the bloody crime was a guich or ravine in the moun- tains of Pope County, an isolated spot thirty-five miles from Russellville, the nearest telegraph office, and ten miles from Will Springs. A few days ago a successful raid was made in the same locality, in which a dozen moonshiners were captured and brougnt to Little Rock. One of them tola we officers that at least fifty large dis- | tiliers were operating in the same neigh- borbood. Taylor, with his posse, located a laree moonshine outfit Saturday night and de- f’m;d to make the raid Sunday in day- ight. Proceeding slightly in advance of his men, Taylor was within thirty feet of the distillery when he was suddenly fired upon from embush end insiantly killed. As Dodson ran up to Taylor he was also shot dead in his tracks. Pistols began to crack in all directionsand a terrible volley was poured into the temaining officers. The Renirow brothers fell mortally wounded and lay by the roadside until, later in_the day. s traveler named Pack chanced by. All tracesof the banaits had disappeared, as well as two of the Deputy Bheriffs. The latter have not since been heard trom, and sre believed either to have been killea or wounded or taken away captive by the moonshiners. The traveler rushed to Russellville with the news, and the Coroner, with a Sheriff’s posse, started for the scene. No news has been receivet since they departed. Pack thinks the Renfrow brothers wiil be dead before the party reaches them. It isnot known by whom the murders were com- mitted, but the officers believe the gang1s composed of desperadoes, headed by Hor- ace Bruc: and John Church, iwo of the most dangerous characters in the locality. The United States officers were to-day asked to offer a reward for the arrest of the gang, to which the State will contri- bute, and a determined « ff )rt will be made to capture them. 1t is verv probable the effort will lead to further bloodshed. Captain Taylor was an ex-captain in the Federal army. He had served two terms in the State Legislature, and was noted for his bravery. Marshal Corser this afternoon received the following telegram from the Attorney- General: WASHINGTON, D. C., ‘“f‘ 30. Expense of posse, subject to exwcutive roval, not to exceed $2000, is authorized, 00 reward is authosized for the capture and delivery to the Marshai of all persons impli- cated in the murder. McKENNA. For Seth Lowe Alone, NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 30.—The ex- ecutive committee of the Citizen’s Union, at a meeting beld to-nigni, decided to stand alone with Seth Lowe, and no other, as itscandidate for Mayor of Greater New York, WILL PROBABLY BE A FAILURE Labor Leaders Unable to Outline a Plan of Action. "fiz‘?\ After a Day-and-Night Con- ference, Little Headway Is Made. Patrick O’Nealll Suggests Herolc Measures—Soverelgn Opposes Ratchford’s Pian. ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aue. 30.—The con- ference of labor leaders which began this morning had a busy day, and to-night the end is in ¢ight. What the conference has accomplished, if anything, is in doubt. It is not believed the ‘e ders have attained any definite result, in fact, the president of one of the National organizations says the failure of the conference was a fore- gone conclusion. *“I should feel very much chagrined,” said this gentleman, “if I had bad any part in the convening of this conference.’’ The committee on resolutions and plan of action was at work ail the afiernoon and to-nizht, and this evening Mr. Sover- eign announced that they had formulated a p'an, but he declinea to give any details. The vlatform. it is expected, will be sub- mi:ted to theconvention to-morrow morn- ing. The fourteen diff:rent organizations repre-ented in the convention make an unw.eldy body, and it is evident that all of them cannot be satisfied with a plat- | form formulated by five men representing as manv branches f orzaunized I r. Mr. Ratehford’s plan of petitioning President McKinley 10 convene Congress In extra session to enact measures provid- ing for the setilement of the prerent labor difficulties, or, as e put if, “"to de- tine the rights of citizens, if any,” did not meet with the approval he had hop-d for, and it is not believed that the plank will beincorporated in the platiorm. Although present in the convention ail day, Mr. Debs did not speak nor did he pat in an appearance at to-night’s mass- meeting, where he was widely advertised to make an address. He is represented on the resolutions committee, however, by | Mr, Berger, and as he has remained vretty close to the gentlemen composing ihet committee it is safe to say his “'social aemocracy’’ 1dea will be rapresented. It is thought an adjournment will be reached some time to-morrow. Chairman Steinbiss of the local commit- tee of arrangements called the couference of labor leaders to order at 10 o’clock. About 100 peop'e were scattered about the hall, but all of them, however, being dele- gates. Mr. Steinbi s suggested that, as the call for theconvention had been issu~d hurriedly, and as many of the delerates were yet unadvised as to the meeung- place and hour, an adjournment be taken till 11 o’c'ock. He named a committee to 20 to the hotels and inform =all de.egates that the convention was about toas-emble, and a recess was taken. Shortly after 11 o’clock the convention was again called to oraer. W. B. Pres- cott of Indianapolis, president of the In- ternational Typographical Union, was chosen temporary chairman, and W. C. rce_of Columbus, temporary secre- tary. Mr. Prescott then appointed the following as a commities on credentials: Mr. Ratchiord, James O'Connor of the Machinists, Cnicago; Grant Luce of St, Louis Central Labor Organization, J. R. Sovereign and W. D. Mahon. Considerable controversy arose over the naming of 8 committee on resolutions, which, although the convention was not yet permanently organized, was moved by one of the delegates. There were amend- ments to the effect that the convention adjourn until 1 o'clock and that the hour be made 2 o'clock, and in_the midst of this parliamentary tangle Dulegate Sov- ereign shou‘ed: g w]'aum sick and tired of resolutions; this is the time for action. I move, Mr. Chair- man, that the motion to appoint a com- mittee on resolutions be amended so0 as to read, ‘On resolutions and a plan of ac- tion.””” This brought out a flood of amendments and motions, but the whole matter was finally tabled and the meeting adjourned until 2 p. M. 3 The committee en credentials made its report immed:ately on the assembling of the conference for its afternoon session. It was shown that eizhty-eight delegates, representing the following organizations, were present: United Mine-workers of America, Social De- mocracy, Am-rican Federation 'of Labor, Stouemakers’ International Union, Brother- hood of Painters end Decorators, Brotherhood of Rottle-biowers, Building Trades Council of §t. Louis, Patriots of America, Brotherhood of Track Foremen, Single Tax League of America, Central Labor Council of Cineinnati, Tuterna: tional Typograpnical Union, People's party of Kansas and Industriel Order of rreedmen. The report after some discussion was adopted. It was decided, however, that delegates be recognized as coming from the particular organization they represent instead of the general body. The general report showed also the presence of one woman delegate, Mrs. Mary Jones of Chicago, Who repre:ents the Social Democracy. The temporary organization was then made permanent, and the chair- man read the call for t:e convention. It was moved ana seconded that a com- mittee on resolutions be made up of one member from each of the organizations pamed, each delegation to choose its member. This was amended by Del Stephens of Philadelphia to read plan of action.” Mr. Mahon of Detroit objected to this committee as unwieldy ana said he was perfectly satisfied to leave the matter of resclutions to a committee of five, to be selected by the chair. He amended the resolution to that effect. “[f you are golngMin(o the resolution business,’”” said Mr. Mahon, “you had bet- ter go home.” Mr. Mahon’s amendment was carried on a division, as was the amendment of Mr. Stephens. The chairman then named as the com- mitiee “'on resolutions and plan of action,”” W. G. Pearce of the miners, W. D. Mahon of the street rallway men, Victor Berger of Milwaukee, who represents the Social Democracy, in whose favor Mr. Debs de- clined; G. C. Clemens of Topeka, repre- senting the Populists, and James R. Sov- ereign. Mr. Ratchiord then took the floor. He went over the miners’ sirike from its in- ception to the present day, and dwelt particularly upon *“government by injunc- tion.” He pleadea for promptaction, and, coming tu the point of bisargument, ad- vocated a spectal session of Congress as the best, and, in fact, the only relief. “I believe,” sald Mr. Ratchford, “a special session of Congress is necessary to define the rights of the people of this country—if they have any. 1 believe if sufficient time were given the President of the United States, he would call a special session of Congress to act upon the matter of injunctions and find means of relief from the existing troubles in the labor world. *In case of refusal,” said Mr. Ratchford, impressively, after an outburst had sub- sided, ‘it will then be time to consider more extreme measurss. I am in favor, 1f the President refuses to csll Congress together, of & complete paralysis of busi- ness. I believe in a sympathetic strike.” rick O'Neill of Rich H I, Mo., who said he represented 1500 ‘‘organized picks,” favored a labor revolution. He was a socialist, he said, and believed in the miners taking things in their own hands if necessary. His fierce harangue pleased the audience greatly. Mr. Sovereign put himself on record as opposed to Mr. Ratehford’s He be- lieved this would b> the last convention to be held under present conditions, and that the crucial test now conlronted or- ganized labor. Mr. Mahon of Detroit said a resolutions committee was us-less. The convention should vote on Ratcbford’s proposition and then go home. The powerof the Nation, he said, was in the courts, and if a body was to be convened let it be the courts. He was opposed to Mr. Ratch- ford’s proposition. Mahon, as did his predecessor, {ook a fling at Senator Hanna, Mahon saying that the President woun:d have to get Han- na’s consent to the convening of Congress. James A. Carson, secretary of the TIlli- nois miners, then recited at great leneth the condiuions confronting the miners of his State and saiu he telieved his men would be beaten in two weeks. Telegrams of * greeting and progusl's' against “government by injanction were received from the Populist executive committee of the Sixteenth Congressional District of Ohio, the German Trades As- sembiy of Philadelphia and the Atlanta Federation of Trades. A A polite request to “quit monkoy\ng and strike for single tax on land values” was t en read from the Youngstown (Ohio) Single-taxers and the talk went on. > Rutchford took exception té Carson’s statement that the miners were not win- ning their strike, and said, furthermore, that his mea were not asking this conven- tion foraid. They want this gathering to eradicate, if possible, the power of injuuc- tion. Taking a flingat Miner Pat O'Neill, he said a man who advocated the use ol Winchesters had no place 1n the conven- tion. “Down our way,’” said Ratcnferd, “miners don’t know how to handie guns.” The stateruent of Mr. Sovereign that the committee on resolutions haa formulated a plan of action was controverted late to- night by the assertion of another member of the committee that no decision had been reactied. The commitiee was, in truth, just getting ready to assemble at midnigut to make another attempt at settiement. “The committee is running away from { the issue,” said this member, “and [ am afraid (he whole thing wi.lend in a fiasco. At any rate there will be a minority report 1 present d with the majority. There is some talk of Government ownership of mineral lands, but nothing has been posi- | tively determined upon.’” At midnight the committee went into session at the Laclede in an endeavor to prepare tomething tenable to report to- morrow. e e DEBS TOUO BUSY TO TALK. Soctal Democraey’s L.ader Disappoinis a Large Awdience. S8T. LOUIS, Mo, Auz. 30.—Less than { 1000 people, among whom were a large number of ladies, assembled in Masonic Hall to-nieht to listen to addresses by prominent labor leaders btrought to the city by the conference. There was much enthusiasm shown. Wien it became known that Eugene V. Debe, president of the Social Demacracy, would not speak there were signs of in- dignant disapproval and loud cries for that noted leader. On the stage were a number of the most notable celegates to the conterence, among them being James R. Sovereign, grand master workman of the Knights of vabor; M. D. Ratchford, rresident of the National Mine-worsers’ Union; G. C. Clemens, the Populist ieader of Topska, Kans.; W. D. Mahoa, president of the Street Railway Men’s As- sociation; John Llnyd of Chicago, a rep- resentative of Dz2bs’ Social Democracy, and Frank Stevens of the Delaware Single Tax League.

He pre- dicted that the conference would result in the issuance of an edict that would lead to a new era of liberty to the laboring classesof America. The vraesiding officer then called for Eugene V. Debs, and John F. Kelley an- nounced that the Social D:mocracy leader was busy with the committee on resoiu- tions and could not attend the meeting. He sent word, however, thet after the pre- sentation of the report of the committee he would make an expression of his views on tne question before tie conference. John W.

Prominent inent coal operator in the Pittsburg dis- trict said to-ni:ht that the miners’ strike would be probably settled, temporarily at least, within the next forty-eight hours. riating with the miners’ officers since the adjournment of the Pittsburg conference, and a settlement is believed to be close ut hand. The operators cffered to pay the men 64 cents a ton, pending arbitration, if the miners would consent to such an arrangement, with the distinct under- standing that the arbitrators could not fix a price below 60 cents or above 69 cents. President Retchford made a counter- proposition for arbitration, stipulating that the men be paid 69 centsa ton, 5 cents of that-t0 be turned over to the trustee or trustecs, and to be held until arbitration is completed, and then paid to the miners if the rate is fixed at 69 cents. If the rate is fixed below that fizure, then a portion of the amount held by the trostees is to be given to the miners and the other reoated to the operators. A telegram was received here to-day from President Ratchford with respect to the operators’ proposition, but it was some- what bliud, and the operators were una- ble to tell whether he would accept the proposition or not. It is expscted. how- ever, that he will consent to arbitration, and it is expected that work will be re- sumed before the close of the week. —_— Declured ontest.

Twenty rounds were fought, McPartland displaying the most science. He drew I biood early, kept pegging away with his left, punisbing 'hardt and escapins any great damage to himself. But he could not give Everhardt enough punish- ment to pus him out. At the «nd of the twentieth round the fight was declared no contest. PR R I Wil 4bo'ish diderian Horrers. "LONDON, Exc.,, Aug.
