SAME OLD STORY OF ng DUST FIVE OAKLANDERS ARRIVE. AT/ JUNEAU, Tell of the Straggling Mass of Hu- manity on the Valdez Glacier and the Perils They Are Subjected To. Spectal Dispatch fo The Call. JUNEAU, Alaska, July 28 (by Steam- ship Oregon to Seattle, Aug. 38).—The] steamship Excelsior came in this even- ing and 130 more Copper River Kickers walked ashore here. The Oregon came in soon after, bound south, and nearly a | special rate, left for the Sound on her. | - Chasers of. the golden fleece are now | flocking back over the glacier from the Copper River Valley in droves, taking advantage of the remaining short sea- son only during which it is possible to go efther backward or forward. W. Luckman of Oakland, Cal., says. | there “were- not less than 1000 men on | the glacier and traveling for it when | hé came out seven days ago. He says | that by this time there must be between | 200 .and 400 at Valdez waiting for a | steamer. The price of grub has fallen | and’ this fact makes it more difficult, ! in fact almost impossible, for men who | have no money to sell their outfits for money to pay their passage home. | Flour, for instance, cn the other side of the glacier is $1 per sack and coffee | 5 cent per pound. ' All other passengers | have the same story of mo gold and | hard luck to tell, and all agree that | they might as well attempt to swim up I'Niagara Falls as to get any kind of a boat up the.Copper River, which is a roaring torrent. : g Two soldlers built a bridge across a small stream. The bridge was washed away . and the soldiers remained on the farther side for three days and nearly starved to death because it was not possible to wade the stream or otherwise get assistance to them. Cap- tain Abercrombie and his’'men are now attempting to make a trail that will make the exodus easier. Others from Oakland besides Luck- {man are B. Lueneburg, H. L. Schnoor, F. Coons and Al Wiseman. They were among the party of forty-four which left Oakland on the schooner Lauinfa, September 22, 1897, for Copper River. They are returning with but little | more than the clothes on thelr backs, with their steam launch and whale- boat ieft in the Covprer River section they "do not' know where. . Most of | thig party of forty-four are still up in the Copper River country, though a| few managed to return home earlier in the season. Luckman sald he did not | know where. they all were, as they were soon divided, scattered and lost to_each other. The steamer Wolcott has been pulled off the route and put on cannery busi- ness, and the Excelsior has now almost a monopoly of the return travel from Valdez. HAL HOFFMAN. g WHALER ALEXANDER . AMONG THE MISSING ST. MICHAEL, Alaska, July 21 (via Victoria, Aug. 3).—Grave fears are en- tertained for the safety of the steam whaler Alexander of San_Francisco. The whalers Bayliss and Karluk from north of Bering Straits, under date of June 27, send a dispatch that the Alex- ander was last sighted off Fox Island in the Aleutian group in April. She was then in what might become a dan- gerous position. The fleet proceeded north and did not become alarmed un- il late in June, when the Alexander failed to show up. All other whalers that were in the vieinity of Fox Island have reached Bering Straits and re- ported. —— RAN OUT OF COAL. Steamer Dawson City Delayed on Northern Trip.

The proposition is so falr and it has all of the elements neces- sary to secure for the people an honest expression of their will that the commit- tee will not dare to refuse to adopt it. “The hue and cry made against the holding of primaries on u%ground that they are not fair is founded solely on the {)rupnaltlon that. the officers conducting he primary elections have heretofore al- ways been corrupt and have permitted fraudulent voting. Of course the election officers cannot be expected to be any purer or. any more earnest and sincere in their ‘desire to conduct a fair election than are those. from whom . they receive their au- thority to act. “If the election officers are | by Buckley or are named by him or indirectly no honest man will expect that an honest expression of the will of .the Democratic party could be secured through such & medium.

He did not mean to do it,- but even reformers. sometimes blunder. . It was at the meeting of the committee Tuesday night that the whis- pering boss was brought to a full realiza- tion .of his mistake, through the open and earnest protest of a few members of the committee against the proposition to appoint delegates to the State convention and thus prevent 30,000 voters of this city from having a voice in the selection of the men who are to represent them in a body that will place in nomination all of the candidates for State offices. Unfortu- nately for the aforesaid voters, the pro- test was without avall, for the reason that the honest men were in a hopeless minority. The man who led the revolt against the programme of -the whispering boss was He was supported by seven members of the commlittee, all ~of whom declared agalnst the proposition of appointing delegates instead of submit- ting the mater to the voters of the party through the medium of a primary elec- tion. He now proposes to fight the pro- grammers_on their own ground, for the })urpo:e of securing a primary election or the selection of delegates to the muni- cipal convention. His views on the sub- ject are such as will prove interesting to the followers of the whispering boss. In discussing the subject yesterday he sald: “In making mgv'tfl(fht efore the commit- tee of one hundred last Tuesday night I was earnest and sincere. It is true that 1 failed to secure the holding of prima- ries for the selection of delegates to the State convention, and as the time inter- vening between now and the time for the holding of the sald convention is short it would be useless to make any further attempt to hold such primaries. “The municipal election, however, is another matter, and there is ample time to hold primaries, to purge the rolls and ui every by honest and fair mi s to elect dels es who are t Bt Steete 10 Thutoh gun formulated a pm | present to thé committes at rected that force would be dttempted to ntimfdate honest men or prevent ‘them from voting arrangements could be made to have some of the police present to pre- serve order and protect the voter from any hoodlum element that might try to make trouble. - e “The committee would of itself be the returning board and pass upon the elec-’ tion of all delegates and determine if a ceértificate should be issued or refused. In every case where the election officers reported that they had falled to secure an honest vote on account of fraud or force said committee could refuse to is- sue a certificate of election to any dele~ gate claiming one if it found such state: ments on the part of the officers to be true. The committee could then proceed to elect a delegate to represent such dis- trict or could declare any of the candi- dates for election in such districts whom it found to be defeated by such fraud or force to be the duly elected delegate. “If a fair expression of the will of the party of this. eity cannot be secured in this manner it must be becatse the com- mittee of one hundred, of which T have the honor to be a member, is Incapable of governing the party through any o the methods recognized as proper for de- termlnlng the will of the people under a popular form of government.' - —_——— MAGUIRE WILL ARRIVE Demoecrats Are Preparing for a Parade and a Reception at Metropolitan Temple.

Major General H. C. Merrlam, com- mander-in-chief of all the forces now en- camped about the State, has declared his willingness to inspect the Seventh .Cali- fornia Volunteers on Saturday evening next on the occasion of their fareweil re- ception. That the affair will be a grand one is already assured. Distinguished soldiers and civilian have accepted in- vitations to be present and soaiety b stamped Its approval by purchasing re: served seats in sections. The tickets for Dbig drill were issued yesterday, and v a large ale 1s recorded. As the proceeds of the evening’s enter- tainment will by roted to an emergency fund for the regiment, and as it is com- d_almost en ¢ 'of California boys expe to tax the st capacit. te lately at the cen- been greatiy shocked stant ringing of thelr doorbells by men attired in military clothes who appeal for blankets to keep out the damp night air that they claim pervades their camp. In many Instances their requests have been granted, but in most cases refusals have been given owing to the published stories of impostors who have carried on :the traffic. The continued reports of this un- military visitation has led the Red Cross Soclety to warn kind-hearted people not to give the men what they ask for, be- lieving that they are professional beg- ars. Eifhe Red Cross Soclety has shown its willingness time and again to step into the breach when the Government is un- able to furnish the men with what they need, if property applied for, and it is willing to_continiue its good work. W. F. Whittier, the weil-known capital- ist, has given a splendid sign of recogniz tion for the work being done by the ed Cross. Yesterday he sent a carload ot oranges and lemons to the society. The generous donation was apportioned out to the various camps, hospitals and bar- ay and distributed racks about the among the men. Tvery day more ladies apply to Mrs. Theodore E. Smith, manager at 16 Post street, for employment, and they are fm- mediately put to work on the caps, chest- protectors and.pajamas for the men at camp.
