C., July 20.—Eight million dollars in gold has already been sent up the Yukon River from Dawson to White Horse for transport by railway to Skaguay and many more millions are to come. This is the report brought by the steamer Danube, which arrived from Skaguay to-day, and the figures given are those of the raflway office at White Horse. The richest shipments mentioned in the rallway report were ‘as follow Thomas Lippy. $250,000; Canadian Bank of Commerce, $1.750.000: Bank of British North America, $500,000; Peter- 090, Berry Eros.. $120,000; H.

An Investigation made into the smallpox epidemic at Dawson has revealed the fact that the disease was taken to Dawson by a miner who went up from White Horse on a scow. When he arrived at Dawson he was taken to the jood Samaritan Hospital, but the fact was not then known that he had the smallpox and he was placed in a ward with others. Soon after three other men were ill with the disease. They have all been put on a floating pesthouse and a strict_quarantine is being enforced. A fourth body has been found in the Yukon near Selkirk, hParlnE bullet wounds, as did the other three victims of 1ast winter's trail murders. The remains, It is believed, are those of Graves, the partner of the accused murderer, George O'Brien. now awaiting trial at Dawson.” ° J. H. Bromly. engincer of the Nimrod group at Atlin, arrived on the Danube. He brought the first gold brick given by any of the quartz properties there. It was from Eord Hamilton's property and weighed twenty-eight cunces. There is much complaint at Skaguay owing to the fact that the Canadians are re!uslng"m'bund American liquor through their territory. A Skaguay business man sald at a Board of Trade meeting there: ““Why does the United States grant the Canadians priviliges that injure American trade and that Canada refuses to our merchants? Is it be- cause we fear them? Or do we owe them any such advantage? DId the Skaguay ploneers make sufficient money during the few months that the Americans had full swing in the interior to last them a lifetime? If something is not done to repair or regain that which our Government- has surrendered, Skaguay will cease to be as important as a watering tank erected on a desert for the benefit of an engine.

Wellington will, his friends here affirm, take the stump this fall for Bryan and against President Mc- Kinley. His reason for leaving the Re- publican party is that he is irreconciliably opposed to imperialism. to which he be- lteves the party has committed itself. . A. Croffut of this city, who cast his vote save one for the Republican nomince ut who is now alfenated from his party because of its imperialistic views, as he considers them, said to-night: “I saw Senator Wellington a few days ago in this city and talked over the polili- al situation with him. 1 asked him if he was with us and he replied ‘Yes, I am with you.

They do not speak as they pass by, nor will they address each other when they together in the hts, nor as they brush gs. Both are angry, and nothing will ever unite them in the bonds of good fellowship again. It is a sad story, that can only be told to “chills | and fever” music.

Mr. Croffut said that Senator Wellin; ton had not become Democratic in any sense and he doubted if the Senator adopted the principles of the Chicagy AT THE THEATERS HE Dunne and Ryley company at the California Theater have revived this week the amusing vaudevilie operetta “By the Sad Sea Waves.’ It is, of course, plotless and of Kkaleldoscopic architecture, but the songs are bright, the speciaities amusing, and the fun clean and wholesome. Mary Marble, as Sis Hopkins, is a joy | forever. Her song, the Man,” was given h no less than a exquisite intuition of the composer's in- tention in the charming little sketch. The bathing duet with Mr. Matthews was | prettily given, and—it was certat iss Mary’'s turn last evening—the Yankee Reuben Glue” song gave much pleasure. 1t is interesting, by the way, to compare the work of this clever actress with that of Miss Zelma Rawlston, now at the Orpheum, in the line of male impersona- tion, so different are they, and both so good. Norma Whalley looked even ore fetching than usual in Paris gowns, and one from Worth of Japan, and sang in better voice and style than we have yet heard from her, the ‘“Japanese Baby." Isabel Underwood, the recent favorite at scher’s, is a new engagement with the Dunne and Ryley's. Her singing gave much pleasure, and when she learns to breathe, a future with a big “F” may be prophesied for her. Ko 8 The Orpheum has another excellent Zelma Rawlston, the male impersonator, made a great hit. Her “lightning changes” are made with un- paralleled alacrity from morning dress to a yachtsman's afternoon neglige, and from that to what the lady novelists ‘call fault- less evening dress. Her voice is good, her songs clever, her wardrobe apparently by Poole and her walk and “business” manly to_a turn. Mr. and Mrs. John Mason gave a gra- cious and refined rendering of a pretty comedy, “A Loving Legacy.” The Nich- ols sisters gave amusing bla ce sketches, and the St. Onge brothers did wonders on the wheel. The American blo- graph ends an attractive bill P ET Henry Miller will appear this week in “Brother Officers,” the comedy drama by Lee Trevor, which was presented here with such success last season.

The favorite “Heartsease’”” will be nex week's bill, Mr. Miller also announces the third Burton Holmes lecture on Thursday aft- ernoon next at the Columbia Theater, with subject *Round About Pari: PRE With this evening's performance of Aida” at the Tivoll Opera-house begins It was generally admitted that the Tivoli's last season of grand opera was the best ever attempted at the popular little theater, but, with the names found on this year's list’ of artists, every previous effort will certainly be outdone. To-night's cast for *“Alda” includes Anna Lichter as Aida: Amneris, Frances Graham; Radames, Signor Avedano ‘Amonraso, Signor Salassa; Ramphis, Sig- nor Nicolini; King, Willlam Schuster. “Aida” alternates with icia’ this " is as fol- Signora Repetto; Edgar, Ashton, Signor Ferrari; The chorus lows: Lucia.

B Cntrongly desired by the manage- ment that patrons shall be seated each evening by § o’clock in justice to the sing- ers, as the performance will begin prompt- ly at that hour. < . “The Great Ruby” will be performed for the last time this evening. The entire auditorium has been taken by the Wood- men of the World, who will enjoy a mo- nopoly of the thrilling melodrama. “*Fhe Red Lamp,” a Beerbohm Tree suc. cess, will be presented to-morrow even- | ing for the first time in this city, with | Wilton Lackaye in the role of Demetrius, chief of the Russian detective staff. Keith Wakeman will appear as the Princess Claudia. Sl Florence Roberts, supported by White Whittlesey. will appear this week in “Ro- meo and Juliet” at the Alcazar Theater. The management promises something ex- ceptional in the stage setting through their poetic press agent—a “grotesque mounting and artistic dressing”—which sounds attractive. . i Agnes Fried, soprano; Jeanette Lewis, comedienne, and little Alma Wuthrich, a clever child singer and dancer, will be new at Fischer's Concert House to-night. Mae Tunison, the soprano who made such and Deets and Don will present a new act. St 8 The Chutes announce an interesting bill for this week. Lord and Rowe, comedians, and Martin and Ridgeway, pantomimis **Hoo-do-doo-do | | | | | | | be him. She looked straight over his curly | locks and into vacancy. Had she smiled there might have been a reconciliation and the curtain might have dropped swiftly on the finish of a pathetic theat- rical drama. Miss Wkhalley had smiles for everybody but Walter. For him thers s only a frosty stare, that would have illed him had he not been attired in heavy woolens. Mr. Jones returned from Chicago yes- terday after an absence of nearly thres weeks. He came at the request of John W. Dunne, manager of the “all-star com- pany” now playing at the California. His coming was expected by Miss Whalley, but she cared not. Her engagement with the all-star aggregation will run on de- :nce. S.e will sing her way into the rts of the theatergoers and bewitch every one with her smiles but Walter. Jones will play a prominent part in a Fourth of July farce, which is ex- pected to create explosious of laughter and firecracker applause when it is pre- sented, a week from Sunday evening next. Jores ‘wants to play the part of the ice man .n the new piece, so that he can de- liver large chunks of frosteu water to the lady who “trew him down.” Miss Whalley was besieged with cards from members of the press, Who wers anxious to learn her true feelings toward her late partner in vaudeville. It did not take her an instant to let her interview- ers know that \Walter was persona non grata with her. She sald she looked upon him as a bad penny—always turning up. fhv also said other nice things about nim. I see he is sitting in a box,” she said th a graceful wave of her hand toward the place where Jones was sitting. “He smiled at m 1 did not respond to his mirthful grecting. 1 have smiles for other members of the company.” And to prove her assertion she beamed and showed her pearly teeth to the scene | shifter, the fireman and the mock police- man, who were standing near. Despite her statement that she did not care whether Jones was elsewhere or not, it is certain that his presence in the theater last evening had a_distressing effect on the pretty actress. In the language of the | profession, she was ‘Trattled.” She at- tributed her nervousness to ‘first night"” and fatigue from rehearsing all day, but it was plainly seen t she would have | been happier had Waiter been in the windy city with his promised bride. Miss Whalley shook her “bang” and said that she could never be reconciled to Mr. Jones. She pouted at the mere men- tion of his name and took a glass of water as if to remove the bad taste it had left in ber mouth. Her mother, an English woman of refinement, rejoined her daugh- ter on Saturday night and now Miss Norma has a stern chaperon to keep the Johnnies” from bothering her. Mrs. Whalley disclaimed having come from London to protect her daughter from Jones, but is willing to admit there has been “Too Much Jones' in connection with daughte: ame. f the newspapers want a sensation,” exclaimed Jones. “I will furnish it b jumping off the Cliff House and fight with the seals, but for pity’s sake don't coupls my name with Miss Whalley. There was never anything between us. I have been engaged to an estimable lady In Chicago, and these continued stories In the news- papers have created no end of trouble for me in that quarter. It was absolutely necessary for me to go to the windy ecity to see my intended and prove that the stofies were untrue. I returned here at the request of Mr. Dunne and wiil fulflil the contract I made with him. These con- tinued stories have a depressing effect not only on Miss Whalley but myself, and hope they are discontinued—at least un- til after I am married.” Mr. Jores is engaged to a Miss Pulsifer of Chicago, and he carries her pleture {n a golden locket. He is not ready to state the date of their nuptials, but promises to do so in proper season. As for Miss Whalley and himself? Well, it'is all off between them. Reception to Congressman Kahn.
