Port Townsend, April 11. A letter just received from Skagway, Alaska, dated April 3, says; At about noon to day on the Chilkoot trail, between The Scales and Stonehonae, at least 31 men met death and a large number of other were injured more or less seriously in a enowsiide. The dead were crushed under an avalanche of snow and ice which came down fiom tie mountain aide upon the left aide the trail about midway between The Scales and Stonehouse. A list of the killed and wounded, as complete a possible at the hour of writing, is as follows: One E. Zebarth, Seattle. . Frank Sprague, Seattle. Steve Stevenson, Seattle. C. II. Harrison, Seattle. W. I Riley. Seattle. a D. Atwood, New York. a Beck, Sanford, Fla. L. Weidelein, Kansas City. Mra. Ryan, Baltimore. John Morgan, Emporia, Kan. F. M. Grimes, Sacramento. Mrs. Anna Moxon, Jefferson county, Pa. Baa Hepgard, Baker City, Or. . Atkina Idaho. : Tom Ueffert, Seattle. E. F. Miller, Vancouver, Wash. ; Tom Collins, Portland, Or. T. Lamer. The seriously injured so far leoovered are: Walter Chappey, New York. John C. Murphy, Dixon, N. D. F. M. Holbrooke, Portland, Or. . Pablstrom, residence unknown. Fully 60 people were overtaken by the slide, and are either buried in tbe snow or scattered along the borders of the avalanche in a more or less injured condition. The point at which the accident oc carred ia some five mile above Sheep Camp. Tbe nearest telephone station ia four miles distant. Tbe Scales ia some five miles above Sheep Camp. The telephone wires at that point were carried away by tbe slide. This fact makes it difficult to obtain further par ticulars at this time. A blinding snow storm was raging all day anon the summit, and as a con sequence many of those in the vicnity were making no attempt to travel Zebarth, Sprague and Stevenson, of Seattle, were traveling together as partners, and were found side by side in bed. Thousands of people were encamped in the vicinity at tbe time, and were soon on the scene rendering such assist ance as was poesilbe. Upon reueipt of the news, points below Dyea telephoned up to know if assistance waa required, and received answer to the effect that 5,000 people were at work on tbe debris, and were only in each other' way. All day Saturday and. Sunday a southerly storm, with chinook wind, rain and snow, prevailed in this vicin ity, and it ia believed tbe softening of the snow on tbe mountain aide by those agencies was tbe cause of the avalanche. The quantity of snow and ice that came down in the slide is estimate-) at thousands of tons. It swept directly across the trail, which, notwithstand ing the fact that the weather was un suitable for travel, wa thronged with wayfarers. . Tbo last vestige of the trail in the vicnitr was wiped out of ex istence, and where it led is now a mountain of snow and ice. Later reports bring the information that 81 bodies have been recovered. There waa a preliminary slide at 1 o'clock in the morning. People were digging out their goods when tbe sec ond slide occurred about noon. 1.1st of Injursd Iaerasscd. ' A later dispatch via Victoria says: The horror of the Dyea trail is growing in magnitude hourly. As the work of rescue proceeds, it becomes more ap parent that many more lives were lost than at first thought possible. It is now believed that between 50 and 100 men and women were killed by the avalanche. Many bodies will not be recovered until tbe summer sun melts ton of snow and ice that now bury them from sight. Two or tbree thousand men are working in relays of as many as can stand side by side shoveling away the now in search of tbe dead and dying. Twenty-two dead bodies have been re covered and identified, and 26 person have been taken out alive. Seventeen employes of the Chilkoot Railway & T'am Company, who went to tbe summit on the morning of the elide to work, aie missing, and it la feared they are among tbe lost.. It ia estimated that 10,000 tons of outfits are buried under the snow and ice. Tbere weie smaller slides before the death-dealing avalanche was started. About 3 A. M. a small slide occuried, which buried several cabins. The alarm was spread, and many people were endeavoring to work back to Sheep Camp when the big disaster occurred. DarvfshM Dafeatcd.

Later de tail received here today from Alaska increase the horror of the avalanche on Chilkoot pass, instead of Uwtenino; it. Sixty-nine dead bodies have been thus tar recovered, and the names of 150 missing persons have heen reported aa unaccounted for. it is barely possible that some of these succeeded in cros sing the pass before the avalanche oc curred. A conservative estimate is that between 75 and 100 persons were killed. The following is a list of those Whose bodies have been found: Andrew Andeiaon, San Francisco; EX P.

' A fact that lends horror to the fearful tragedy is that it may never be known with any degree of accuracy just how many live were sacrificed, who they were or where they came from. Many a poor fellow ties boned where no human aid can reach him, and where his remains must rest until the sum- met sun melts the tons of snow and ice under which be lies buried. Upon the crowded trail no record waa kept of tbe living, toiling mass, brav ing hardships and facing death itself In tbe mad rush for gold. In the pro- session that daily passed were people from all parte of the world, unknown to one another. The work of rescue has continued night and day ever since last Sunday, being gradually systematixed and con sequently meeting with better results. Thus far the work has been confined to the outskirts of the slide in the hope of rescuing those who are injured, but not yet dead. Tbe main portion of the avalanche, which is estimated to be 50 feet deep and 160 yards long, has not yet been touched. If there are any bodiea underneath they cannot be res cued in time to save life. Four men were taken out alive after tbev had been buried for 19 hours. In many instances the bodies ot the dead are not bruised in the least, and appear aa natural aa in life, indicating that they were au (located in the soft snow. As soon aa recovered, the bottles aie carried to Sbeep Camp, where an im provised morgue has been constructed. Some have been removed for interment or for shipment to relative in the The work of rescue ha been orderly and systematic A public meeting waa held and committees were appointed to search for tbe dead and care for the wounded. All that can possibly be done to relieve tbe horror ol the situa tion has been done. The accident was one that could not have been foreseen, and it ia one that ia likely to happen at any time when like conditions exist, although it is stated that some warning of the im pending disaster waa given by the In dian packers, who are said to have de serted tbe trail when the heavy snow of Saturday and Sunday night set in. They refused to work for fear of slides. Tbe work of searching lor the dead is to be continued as long a there i any hope of recovering any one, though it ia feared that it must be discontinued before the' whole truth is known. Walter Chappey, of New Yoark, and John C. Murphy, of Dixon, N. D., were alive when taken out, hot died shortly afterward. Mra. Moxon was in one of the small slide which preceded the large one, and was on tier way to camp when overtaken by death. Her husband was rescued. The federal troops at Dyea took an active part in digging out the dead. Many dead that were unclaimed nave been buried near the scene of the dis aster. Thirteen bodies reached this city today on the steamer City of Se attle and Australia. They were those of R. L, Easterbrook, 8. Stevenson, J. R. Morgan, O, A. Uler, 8. McNeil, A. F. King, Stanley Grimes, C. P. Harri- eon, G. F. Smith, L. Weidlin, Harry Holt, Gus Zebarth and F. Sprague. Advices from . Skagway state that there are manv wild rumors there about additional slides,- attended by loe ol life, but none of them can be confirmed, and tbey are not credited.

Leiter furnished proof lust week of the most convincing kind that hi wheat deal is to be carried through to the lat dv ff Mv. An enormous loan wa made 19,000,000 of the choicest securities being Med. The amount borrowed wa away beyond any nresent necessities; but the wheat bull decided it wa better financiering to pay interest ou unused fund than to risk a demoralised money market at the very moment when borrowing might be necessary. Laiter now ha the funds in bank to pay for any possi ble wheat deliveries during the next 60 days. As important a the flnanoial arrangement wa the completion Of plan to hurry the grain con trolled by him abroad and 4nto consumption. Every bushel of contract wheat now at Chicago will be on It way to Europe within the next four weeks. Up to the middle of March the railroads were loading Letter wheat out of only one system ot elevators the Armour. The closing of additional shipping con traots with the east-bound road tor 8,000,000 bushels started loading at every elevator system in the city. On on day last week, ears were taking wheat simultaneously at the Armour, the Wears, 4he Counse'man, the Na tional, the Central and the Keith houses. That mean the all rail ship ments of 3,000,000 bushels per week. Some day this week, unless the open ing of navigation is delayed beyond (he expectation, the fleet of 30 vessel carrying 1,700.000 bushel of the Lei ter wheat will start down the lakes toward Buffalo. Weather permitting, 8,000,000 bushels of wheat will atart from Chicago this week eastward; will be at the seaboard by April 16, and will be off coast abroad by May 1 This Leiter movement ot cash grain, now under way tor 60 days, is evident' ly going straight into consumption without at all demoralising the foreign market.
