DAWSON CITY, Jan. 19, via Seattle, ‘Wa Feb. 9.—The sensation of the T in Dawson is a stampede d a week ago by some old timers well- wn characters of the coun- Several hundred men left the city on last Tuesday and have not yet re- tur; , although it is more than a week ago. Numbers have come in, as is.always the case, having been com- pelled to drop out of the race short of its destination. Some of these had feet or hands frozen. Some were merely unable to keep the pace, while the eral complaint was a lack of prov: for such a long run. | The destination of the stampeders is not -actually -known to any one here, nor is it known just exactly on what {nformation the stampede is based, but | the “tip” that started it is credited with being straighter than anything of the kind -that has come to town furl some time. !

He prepared to accom- his friend, but in the meantime a messenger up the creek to notify a few other friends. The town was soon agog with the news, if it could be by somebody, and that gger’ Jim was going. A crowd hered in the street to watch a dog team that had been posted in front of the Pioneer saloon. Others made ready 10 follow the team when it should start, hitching up their own teams and load- - sleds with provisions. ‘Nig- yutfit and that of his friends ationed at the back of the sa- and when all was ready <they loon, started from there as quickly as pos- sible. Some saw the move at once and followed; others were tardy -and the leaders were a long ‘way down the Tiver before they discovered what had taken place. Many others, slow in get- ting the news, started late that night and even the next day. “Nigger” Jim and his big following have returned to town, all of them very much the worse for a very trying ex- perience, none of them having driven a stake. Jim led them into the moun- tains, where they floundered breast deep in the snow. for two days. He iade several attempts to elude the crowd, but being unsuccessful. finally lared he had lost, his way and took the. back track. Many of the 600 suf- fered ith frozen feeir, hands and faces, as the thermometer has ranged about 30 below, few had proper equip- ment for such a trip and only the ¢hosen had snowshoes and sufficient provisions. Various are the guesses concerning the adventure. It is believed that Jim will make another ana less conspicu- ous start for the new creek, although it-is safe to say that few who followed him this time will try it again. Others believe that the whole thing was sim- ply a rank fake to gain notoriety. From the Kuyokuk there is little news-as yet. A good deal of prospect- ing going on, but at the time the latest intelligence came out it was too early for any definite knowledge of the ground to have been obtained. Circle and Eagle City are both reported in cheerful spirits and thriving. Cabins of Circle empty last winter are nearly all occupied again, and Eagle City has grown to be a place of 300 cabins. From Captain Geiger and others 1 have learned the location and situation on nearly all the steamboats that are frozen in on the river. The McArnold. belonging to the Alaska Exploration Company, is on the Yukon in a not very .safe position twenty-five miles below Minook; the. Seattle No. 1, Seattle-Yu- kon Trading Company, and six small steamboats are at Minook, and none of them in a very safe position: the Herman, Alaska Exploration Company, " on a bar in the river forty miles below the Tanana in a dangerous situation: the Yukoner, belonging to Pat Galvin, below the Tanana. The Weare and the Hamilton of the North American gTransportation and Trading Company are on the ways at Fort Get There, being overhauled; Tan- ana Chief is 300 miles up the Tanana, the John C. Barr of the North American Transportation and Trading Company is in winter quarters thirty miles below Forty Mile, safe; the Tacoma, Empire Transportation Company, forty miles above Circle City on a bar in the river, fn bad situatio: the Victoria, same company, at Circle, it will require con- siderable work to make her safe; the Sovereign, Columbia Navigation Com- pany, in the slough at Circle, unsafe situation; the Seattle, Empire Trans- - portation Company, fifteen miles below Circle, in the middle of the river, situa- above Stewart, are the J. P. Light, Gov- ernor Pingree, Philip B. Low of the Boston Alaska Company, the Tyrrell, Seattle No. 3 and No. 4, Seattle Yukon Transportation Company, all reasona- bly, safe. In Steamboat slough, three miles above Selkirk, are the Columbian, Ca- nadian and Anglian, Canadian Devel- opment Company; the Suff, James Domville and Florence. The Ora, Nora and Flora of the Klondike and Bennett Lake Transportagion Company, and the Gold Star are at the White Horse Rapids. Thirty-six small steamboats are wintering up the Kuyokuk and the Yukon from the Hootallnqua to Andref- sKy is strewn with small boats. The breaking up of the river in the | spring will work havoc with very many of them, and very many thousands of dollars invested in steamboats will cer- tainly be crushed up in the ice. There has been another comblete breakdown in the mail service, espe- | cially that of the American contractor. Richardson, and no word has been re- ceived from.the outside since the river closed, except the vague reports from an occasional traveler. The Canadian mounted police here have undertaken to take out a mail every two weeks without regard to the contractor. but there is reported to be a small moun- tain of* mall at Bennett, which they seem unable to move. The loss of the official mail which went through the ice on a sled about six weeks ago has caused the officials here a deal of ex- tra work in rewriting their reports. Kitty Straub, alias Stella Hill. com- mitted suicide at the Monte Carlo Theater, December 20. This is the sec- ond incident of the kind among the dance hall girls this winter. Her lover had beén paying attention to some other girl, and the Coroner’s jury ad- judged the deceased to have been in- sane. Myrtle Brosee, of the Tivoli. took poison for some similar reason Novem- ber 20. Tom MacFatrick, an old man. was found frozen in his cabin, December 22. The city is just now draped in mourn- ing for the sudden death of Father Judge, which took place on Saturday at St. Mary's Hospital, of which he was superintendent. He was a Jesuit priest and missionary and founded the hospital two years dgo. His labors on behalf of the sick have been continu- ous, and the scope of his work and the size of the hospital have quadrupled in the short time since he began them here. He contracted pneumonia and died within a week. His funeral took place this:morning and was attended by all sects and classes, as he had made no_distinctions in his ministrations. Word comes from Circle City of the shooting of Joe = Moranzie, bartender, and the robbery of the Bob English sa- loon by two masked men. Moranzie may die. Two men named Rogers and Breckenridge have been arrested. —_—— | MARRIAGE OF THE KING OF THE KLONDIKE LONDON, Feb. 9.—Alexander McDonald of Dawson City, N. W. T., known as the “Gold King of the Klondike,” and reputed to be -worth from £25,000,000 to £30,000,000, was married to Miss Chisholm, daughter of Mr. Chisholm, superintendent of the Thames Water Police. INTERESTS THE PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST California Congressmen Endeavoring to Secure More Money to Im- prove Rivers and Harbors. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Senator Per- kins and Representative de Vries and Barlow appeared before the Senate Com- mittee on Commerce to-day in the interest of improvements in rivers and harbors of California. Representative de Vries asked that the appropriation for the Sacramento River be increased from $250,00 to §280,000, and also asked that appropriations be made for the improvement of Feather River. Representative Barlow made an appeal for an appropriation of $392,000 for the im- provement of Wilmington harbor. This is the inner harbor of San Pedro, and as that has been provided for in the bill as it passed the House, Barlow argued that it was necessary on account of the great- Iy increased commerce of Southern Cali- fornia to improve the inner as well as the outer harbor. Senator Perkins will en- deavor to have the committee insert these items in the bill, and if they fail to do so | he will offer them as amendments on the floor of the Senate. Congressman-elect Metcalf, who suc- ceeds Hilborn In the Third California Dis- trict, evidently purposes to’ get in early and secure what patronage he can for his friends and political supporters. He has written to one of the officers of the House of Representatives asking if he would be given any patronage in return for his sup- port of that officer for re-election when the Fifty-sixth l‘ol;fress is organized. Representatives Hilborn and De Vries hope that they may yet be able to pass through the House the bills appropriating money for a new building at Oakland and the completion of that at Stockton. Ail the Representatives who have public building bills to pass complain of the chairman of the Public Buildings and Grounds Committee (Mercer of Nebraska) for consuming so much time on the Blair (Nebr.) bill to the exclusion of all other pending bills. By special order the House adjourned at 5:30, and as it had re- mained in committee of the whole until 4 o'clock Speaker® Reed, through his ob- structionists on the floor, filibustered for the remaining hour and a half and suc- ceeded in preventing the passage of any bills in the open House, with the excep- tion of that for Newport News. It is not likely that another day will be set aside for the consideration of public buildings measures, but there is some talk among members of attaching a whole lot of bills to the regular uprrnpriatlon bill. In case this fails they will endeavor on next pension day (Monday, February 20) t pend the rules and take up these bills and pass them. This will require a two-thirds vote, but members -claim that they can muster a sufficient number. ‘The Secretary of the Interior to-day submitted to Congress a communication from the Commissioner of Education ask- ing that the appropriations in the sundry civil bill providing for reindeer for Alaska be increased from $12,500 to $25,000, and for an increased appropriation for educating children in Alaska from $40,000 to $60,000. Secretary of the Interior Bliss recom- mends both increases. California pensions: Onglnal.—doseph Daniels, Chico, 38; George D.

RESULT OF EXCLUSION ACT AMERICANS LOSE EVEN THEIR IMPROVEMENTS. Situation Has Almost Reached the Point Where Not Even the Mounted Police Can Pre- serve Peace. BY HAL HOFFMAN. Special Correspondenice of The Call. JUNEAU, Alaska, Feb. 3 (by steamer Rosalie to Victoria, Feb. 9).—The po- lice in Atlin may have something to do any day now besides sitting before the fire. Feeling runs high since the news of the exclusion act reached there; trouble is brewing, and deflance of the authority of the police may be shown any day. g This is the latest news brought down this morning by the steamer Wolcott, plying between Juneau and Lynn Canal points. - Anticipation of some trouble of this nature is in all probability what took Stipendiary Magistrate Rant to Atlin recently. He left Skaguay for Atlin City six days ago. A report, un- corroborated, has come over White Pass that Gold Commissioner Graham, who has been hibernating at Bennett this winter, has recommended the in- crease of the police force not so much at Atlin City as at Discovery City, on Pine Creek. Recently men have been flocking into Atlin at the rate of from thirty to fifty a day. Last comers to the coast over the trails estimate the number at about those figures. Most of these are Cana- dians. They are proceeding ' without hesitation to take possession of the ground staked by American miners, and that is %here the trouble is. They g0 along the creeks and drive their stakes right over the first locations made by the “early birds,”. who were quick to follow Fritz Miller, the locator of Discovery claim. Naturally there is a good deal of friction, and it is feared blood will be shed. This is considered more imminent from the fact that all the information is in possession of the Canadian “‘jump- ers,’” so-called, who came from the Ca- nadian towns on the last ships and from coast towns of Alaska, fortified with all the facts and full knowledge of ‘the legislation at Victoria. = On the other hand, the American claim hold- ers have meager information and are at a considerable disadvantage in not knowing just what to' do. fortunes, or at least ‘an independency through life to most men, are being taken away—usurped and appropriated before the .very eyes of their first lo- cators and owners, men who acquired them last summer at considerable ex- penditure of both money and labor. It is understood that even improvements need not be.paid for unless the Cana- dian locator is so magnanimous as to reimburse the first locator. It now transpires that certain men who left Atlin last November for Vic- toria and Vancouver went south with the purpose of promoting legislation aimed at the exclusion of aliens and, being familiar with the lay of the land, 80 to speak, at Atlin, will be able to profit greatly by the turn of affairs. Building operations are yet\suspended at Atlin City and Discovery City. These town sites are to be surveyed. Owners of buildings do not, therefore, know whether their buildings will bs in the street or not. It must necessar- ily be several weeks before this sur- vey is completed, and there is the add- ed possibility that the surVey may have to be sent down to. Victoria' for ap- proval. That would cause more delay. Merchants at Skaguay are still com- plaining of no business. Up in the Porcupine country there is about twelve feet of snow, and it is almost impossible to get around even on snow- shoes, as the snow on top is very light .and soft. It is no thicker in some places than soap suds, and snowshoes sink down almost knee deep in places. The creeks were frozen during a re- cent cold snap and traveling is easier. Men in search of gold seem to prefer camping in twelve feet of snow, the hardest kind of work, discomfort and even hardship, if they may be near the spot—though they can do no prospect- ing till the snow goes off—to remaining in towns where they may be comforta- ble and at no more expense. Conse- quently they are struggling up to Por- cu%l‘ne nn] Lh’e ice. e exclusion act is expected to se: @ big rush into this country in tll;g spring. The stakes on claims in many creeks in the Porcupine, Salmon River and other districts in that section will be found piled up three stories high when the snow goes. Nobody ques- tions that owing to the snow which hides the stakes some creeks have been located and relocated several times, Several men are spending the winter in Juneau on dust and nuggets they panned out of the Porcupine district as late as last September.

REMOVE BONE OF CONTENTION | PROMPT ARREST AND RELEASE ON OWN RECOGNIZANCE. Cheerful News to a Lot of Dry Men in a Cold Climate Is That the Whisky Famine Is Averted. BY HAL HCFFMAN, Special Dispatch to The Call. SKAGUAY, Alaska, Feb. 6 (via Seat- tle, Feb. 9).—There are warm times at Skaguay now, and they are Rgetting hotter each passing day. Sunday was a day of excitement. The most cheer- ful news to a lot of dry men in a cold climate was that the whisky famine in Atlin and Dawson, which became im- minent after the arrest of the Ameri- can convoys, has been averted. After thinking over the ultimatum the Can- adian officials at White Pass, Log Cabin and Bennett, concluded that they wouldn’t arrest any more convoys if such action carried with it ‘the exclu- sion of whisky. So now the grave in- ternational complications that threat- ened are a thing that might have been, and whisky is the password to peace. Horsemen dashed through the town yesterday afternoon in regular ‘“Rough Rider” style. There was trouble up at the toll gate. The toll gate up on the Brackett wagon road at what is known as Camp 9 has been a bone of conten- tion for several weeks. The packers claim that the trail beyond that point and this side of White Pass was made not by Brackett, but by the original packers on the trail, and that Brackett has no right to charge toll over it. A crowd of about fifty packers, all mounted on sprightly steeds, suddenly appeared at the toll gate yesterday afternoon. They demanded to go through without paying. The gate- keeper refused. Axes were produced, and the packers, led by J. H. Brooks and Burt Johnson, chopped down the toll gate. They carried away the pieces and dumped them down the ravine into the river. Then Mr. Brooks brought to light a large bottle which he had con- cealed somewhere, and so far as it went around the perdition of the toll gate was drunk and toasted. Feeling very jolly the whole crowd rode into town and dashed down the principal street with their horses flecked with foam. The wagon road company made com- plaint and the whole crowd was ar- rested. The rough riders permitted themselves to be arrested in a graceful manner by a deputy United States mar- shal, for whom they gave three cheers before they rode away on their personal recognizance as well as their horses. NEW DISCOVERIES MADE AT ATLIN JUNEAU, Alaska, Feb. 4 (via Port Townsend, Feb. 9).—Parties who ar- rived from Atlin this morning report that on the 28th of January when they left Atlin there was nothing: known there of the passage of the alien act. New discoveries and records were be- ing made every day. Aliens were still in the swim. The weather was very mild. Food and whisky were getting scarce, and very few were getting through to Atlin on account of the fan- tail trall being impassable for loaded sleds. Lake Bennett was not frozen sufficiently to make traveling safe. The pioneers of this country who are ac- quainted with the different routes to the interior say in their opinion that the Takou River route is without doubt the most reliable ‘and safest winter route to the Atlin district. A great many people who have tried the different routes are returning to Juneau and going up the Takou, which is frozen solid and well timbered all along the entire trail from Salt Lake to Atlin. WEALTHY NEW YORKER IS BURIED ALIVE Shocking Discovery Made When the Grave Is Opened to Hold an Autopsy. TONAWANDA, N. Y, Feh. 9—A shocking discovery was made at the cemetery ‘two miles north of Pendleton at 11 o'clock this morning when the body of James Rigley was exhumed for the purpose of holding an autopsy te discover the cause of his death. The glass covering the casket was broken and the distorted features. of the corpse, the position of his hands and feet, together with a number of blood spots on his face, showed that he was buried alive. Mr. Rigley was undoubtedly interred while in a trance, it is contended by physicians who viewed the body this afternoon. On Wednesday of last week, after a short illness, he apparently died, and Dr. Monterey, the family physician, declared he was dead. A few years ago Mr. Rigley took out several insurance policies on his life, and it was partly for this reason that it was decided to hold an autopsy to ascertain beyond doubt the exact cause of death. But for this the discovery of the terrible mistake that had been made would never have become known. Mr. Rigley was a prominent man in this vicinity and was thought to have been wealthy. He is survived by a widow and four sons. The discovery that he had been buried alive has greatly shocked his friends. | | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1899. MORMONS AT WAR - AMONG THEMSELVES SALT LAKE, Feb. 9.—A large and enthusiastic audience greeted Senator F. J. Cannon at the Salt Lake Theater to-night when he came on the stage to deliver his lecture on ‘“Senatorial Can- didates , and Pharisees.” A special train from Ogden brought down a large number of the personal friends of the Senator. The Senator referred to the recent attack upon him by the Women’s Re- publican Club of Utah, and made that the basis for a discussion of the living questions now pending in the State. He then took up the whole subject of the trend of politics in Utah, and set the line sharply between the progres- sives and the reactionaries of the Mor- man church. He pointed out that Utah came to the nation as a Hagar out of a wilderness, with her empty water jar and her dying child, and that the na- tion opened its arms to her and took her into its friendship and under its au- thority, in return for which the na- tion ig entitled to receive from her such devotion as was never given by any other State; that she cannot repay the nation except by holding to the highest ideals, and that .for these John Hendy Smith and Heber J. Grant, apostles of the Mormon church, have substituted the lowest. He made a touching reference to his mother, whose faith and holiness had always kept him in the church. He said that when he faltered at the re- sponsibility which now confrented him of seeking to have Utah spared the possibility of the awful shame of a Senatorship bought and sold he had been impelled by the remembrance of what his mother said and did in the last Senatorial fight when his father was a candidate against him. She came to him then and sai “I don’t want to be a Senator’'s wife. I only want to be a Senator's mother.” With such courage standing behind him, with a mother brave enough to discriminate between father and son, he felt that he would be recreant to all his ante- S oo0a 05 5coosf SENATOR GANNON OF llfAH. cedents election of a Senator - of States be settled upon famous. if he were not now brave enough to tell the leaders of the Mor- mon church the truth and to brand the reactionaries of the church and the pharisees of politics indelibly as ene- mies of Utah.

DENVER, Feb. 9—Henry P. Rhodes, a prominent young attorney of this city, who for eight years prior to 1897 was Deputy District Attorney here, died at St. Luke’s Hospital this morning as the result of wounds inflicted by himself last Tuesday-afternoon. At 10 o'clock to-night Mrs. Olga Lavrenius, a young Russian widow, understood tc have been Rhodes’ fiancee, shot and instantly killed her 10-year-eld son and then sent a bullet through her own brain. The tragedies of Tuesday and to- night both occurred at the Arno, afash- fonable hotel where Rhodes and Mrs. Lavrenius both boarded for several months. The cause of Rhodes’ act is not known. He was a bright attorney, with good prospects and .very popular. Tues- day afternoon he was found in his room by his friend, John S. Mosby Jr., son of the Confederate colonel, rapidly sinking from loss of blood, caused by a deep gash in each arm and each leg. HSSAULT UPON THE REPUBLIC" [ Deputies Defend Court of Cassation. Special Dispatch to The Call PARIS, Feb. 9.—A score of Deputies, including MM. Brisson, Bourgeois, Bar- thou, Sarrien, Poincare, Pelletan and Millerand, have addressed an open let- ter to the Government declaring their intention to uphold the supreme prin- ciples of justice as above all attacks. The manifesto asserts that there is no necessity to deprive the criminal cham- ber of the Court of Cassation of the right of rendering judgment in thg Dreyfus case. M. Lebret, Minister of Justice, has testified, say these distinguished mem- bers of the Chamber, “to the honesty of the judges, and if the court is dis- calumny. The honesty of the whole Court of Cassation will in turn be ques- tioned and the highest jurisdiction of the country will thus be placed by the executive power at the mercy of defa- mation.” In concluding the manifesto its sign- ers say: “The law proposed by the Government is not a law of appease- ment but a law of civil discord, threat- ening the liberty, honor and security of the citizen at a juncture when the union of all republicans is required to defeat a combination of clerical reac- tion and Caesarian demagogy pre- paring for a third assault upon the re- public.” This step indicates the growing op- position to the revision bill, which, even if it survives in the Chamber of Deputies, is almost certain to be re- jected by the Senate, largely recruited from the magistrature and strongly op- posed to such changes of procedure as the bill contemplates. The publication of the text of the revision committee’s voluminous report and the Mazeau dossier serves to em- phasize the hollowness, not to use a harsher word, of the charges of Ques- nay de Beaurepaire against the crimi- nal chambers. It is difficult to believe that a man who was president of'a sec- tion of the court could have brought such reckless accusations against the Judges of another section, and it is still more difficult to explain how the Government could have been induced by such trivial charges to introduce the revision bill, unless it was riding for a fall. The general belief is that nothing can save the Dupuy Cabinet. In any event to morrow's debate in the Chamber of Deputies is expected to be a very stormy one.
