On Tues the Cham- | bers meet, and it is almost certain that this will furnish a pretext for demon- stratfons of all kinds. The soclalists have already organized a manifestation for that day on the Place de la Concorde.. It is a sort of answer to the one arranged by Paul Deroulede, with the intention of con- vineing the Deputies that unless their | patriotism is branded “No revision” the | country will repudiate them. The police is making its preparations to cope with the two bodies, as when | they meet there is pretty sure to be a fight. In the meantime tl.s Court of Cas- sation will decide on Thursday whether | the Dreyfus case is to be revised. All the indications are that it will be. This, in fact, Is why the people have misgivings about Tuesday’'s manifesta- tion. It may easily degenerats into a | riot, and as the troops brought here for the recent strike have to a large ex- tent been sent bac the authorities may find themselves powerless to cope with any outbreak on a large scale. | The people are still bitter Dreyfusists | and anti-Dreyfusists.

The fact that they had hitched a horse to the buggy showed that they proposed to carry her away to a place where their purpose could be accom- plished.

The total estimated output of Cooks Inlet placer mines for the last season (operations having been retarded and much damage inflicted by high water) Is $50,000. One hundred tons of supplies for the | thirty-mile Canadian police posts, ex-| tending from Linderman to -Dawson and now nearly completed, for the pur- pose of facilitating communication, travel and an open trail down the Lewis and Yukon rivers during the winter, have been delivered at Ben- nett. Regular communication is expected to be maintained in safety with Daw- son and mails handled in from ten to twenty days’ time to and from the coast,, where last winter there was no mail at all. Slush ic over. - Several thousand people are pre- paring to go from Alaska towns to new diggings at Lake Atlin next spring. Lieutenant L. S. Kelley and ten men of the Cooks Inlet Government explor- ation expediticn, under Captain E. F. Glenn, Fourth Infantry, report a total traveled distance of 360 miles to a point 200 miles north of Gerstel River, a trib- utary of Tanana. Colors of gold were found on many streams. ibilities, plenty of grass forests cultural p and extensive birch and spruce. Provisions ran low on the Gerstel. The main party re- turned to the coast, while Lieutenant Castman and two men continued the exploration on down the Tanana to Cir- City. Captain Glenn is still at Klonack awaiting orders. PASSENGERS ESCAPE FROM THE ABBIE ROWE PORTLAND, Oct. 22.—The steamship Garonne, which left St. Michael two days later than the Roanoke, had among her passengers J. H. Evans of Porterville, Cal.,, who. arrived in Port- land to-day. He says the Boston party that was reported to have been lost on the steamer Abbie Rowe while crossing Norton Sound turned up all right. The steamer was wrecked in a storm, but the eleven passengers are safe at an Indian village on the mainland. A gov- ernment relief expedition was sent after the shipwrecked people. .———— Count Murvaieff in Favor of Peace. BERLIN, Oct. 23.—The National Zel- tung says it learns that Count Mura- vieff, the Russlan Foreign Minister, has recommended to the French Gov- ernment a peaceful settlement of the Fashoda question, as Russia does not consider that war will serve the intar- ests of France: is running. The rush out Is | The country | is mostly rolling and open with agri- | of cottonwood, | reality, what Low has all to himself, for in addition to that he paid his fore- man, Joe Irving, $20 a day and at the | end of the season presented him with | $1000 in a lump. Joe is a crackerjack miner and a mechanic, too. When asked | why he g Irving the extra $1000 Low said He's worth it to me and de- | served fit. { This output from so small a piece of | ground is a discomposer here. A quar- ter of a million dollars shoveled out of | the ground in less than half the length of a city lot! And the pay streak is not worked out yet! The remainder of the ground has not been touched and it also { contains gold—how rich is not known, but certainly in paying quantities. Low {told an old friend here that if it had | not been for the royalty of 10 per cent | exacted by the Canadian Government { on the output of the claims he could, from selected ground in the pay streak, have astonished Dawson and shocked {all the people of the earth with a pan of dirt. The ground frequently yielded from §$. to $800 to the pan—a shovel- ful the general estimate of a | pan. approaching the very dif- ficult in estimating whether there is actually more gold or gravel in a spade- ful. In one place Low says he believes { he could have taken out between $8000 and $10,000 to the single pan! In this | there would be about nine-tenths solid | gold and one-tenth dirt—about as much | weight as an able-bodied miner cares to handle on a shovel. | Miners are a peculiar people. They | are true to the core to each other as a rule. This to a great extent a neces- sity—an unwritten law, for wusually there are neither attorneys, courts nor legal facilities at hand to bind bargains. miner who once goes back on his | partner finds it wellnigh impossible to get another one. Low has other valu- | able ground on Bonanza and El Dorado. When he left Dawson to get in touch with coast civilization for a short spell he left Joe Irving with absolute power | of attorney to do as he pleases with the | elaims while he is absent. In no other class, kind or color of men can such | confidence be found. Richard Low has been a miner around the coast of Alaska, spending his win- | ters in Juneau, for ten years. He was a poor man. Once he dealt faro here for wages. He extends the “‘glad hand" to everybody and, of course, everybody now has the “glad hand” for Dick. He places a good deal of sea room between { him and a faro lay-out these days and has dreams, it is said, of an easy chalr and domestic felicity. Dick claims that many a man gambles simply because he is down on his ]uci‘n other ways. MEN FROM DAWSON ARRIVE AT SEATTLE SEATTLE, Oct. 22.—The steamer City of Seattle arrived to-day from Skaguay, Alaska, with 290 passengers, of whom 125 are from Dawson. They came up the Yukon to the lakes on the steamers Morwin and Florence, leaving Dawson September 29. Owing to the low stage of the river, the Morwin was eighteen days in making the trp. But one more steamer is to leave Dawson before navigation on the upper river is closed. Travel will then close until December, when it will be resumed | over the ice. According to the report | brought down by the City of Seattle | the Steamer Brixham, which ran on | the rocks south of Wrangel a few days | ago is a total wreck. - KING WINTER HAS / VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 22.—The steamer Rosalie arrived this afternoon from Southeastern Alaska ports with 170 passengers, who report that King Winter has assumed soverelgnty over the northern gold field. The Rosalie's passengers were from Dawson, Atlin Lake and Copper ‘River. Mail Carrier Hume of Seattle says there is three feet of snow on Chilkoot Pass and sev- eral inches at the lake. The drowning of L. C. Gorsoch of Yorktown, 8. D, is reported from Copper River. Captain O’'Brien of the Rosalie says that the steamer Brixham is beyond doubt a total wreck. The Utopla is bringing down her crew and a number of her passengers. g MINIMIZES DISTANCE. TIME AND DANGER WASHINGTON, Oect. 22.—The discov- Lery of 200 miles of additional territory the Coast and Geodetic Survey by John F. Pratt, the assistant in charge of the expedition which has been working in those waters. What the expansion of the mileage of our Alaskan territory is due to is not known. There is a possi- bility of accretion and constant out- ward growth of the land since the first charts were made, but the better opin- fon is that it is due to previous inac- curate charts, the present being first regular and reliable survey of the region. The finding of the new channel will effect a saving of about 400 or 500 miles in reaching the Yukon. At present ves- sels destined for the Yukon bar some twenty-flve miles off the coast up to St. Michael, there tranship to sall boats, which have to creep along the coast down to the Aphoon channel, 100 miles or below St. Michael. This channel carries the water only the | egion have | to proceed up the ocean outside the long | ships of moderate draught to proceed directly into the Yukon from the south and then to continue up the river four or five hundred miles to a safe landing before trans-shipping to the smaller boats, which will go the remainder of the way up the river. Aside from shortening the distance, this will put the Yukon region into much closer ac- cess from the south. The information obtained will be em- bodied in a chart which will be ready for the use of navigators in time for the | first parties going up next spring, as to afford the greater safety to navi- gation for all that region.
