All Reports Indicate That Great Huf ferliif Will be Experienced In tbe Gold Region. Victoria, D?r. 13 By the steamer Topeka, from Dyea, newsii received that more than 1000ilUprov!ioned men stam peded from Diwon during the latter part of October, and impelled by the haunting fear of famine are now madly forcing their way over the mountains. Auk, the Indian mailcarrier who brings tliis retort, left I lie Yukon capital fully 10 day after the Dalton party. He aays tlie vanguard of the terror-stricken army ia following less than a week behind him. Auk declares that fully 25 percent of the tampeding army will never live to re cite the terrors of their flight from the North. Dyea parties headed by George F. Cl mer hope to go to the rc'ief of the hun gry men at Dawson. They will make the United States government an offer to de liver 50,000 pounds of provieiona within 50 days after starting for D son for the turn of $75,000. They already have 50, 000 pound of provisions cached at Lake Bennett, which they will take into Daw eon this winter. Ulmer will to south by the next steamer to lay his proposition before the secretary of war by wire. Anttber Bttimer Arrlvea PortTownmkxd, Dec. 14. Thesieamer Al-Ki arrived at 1 o'clock this morning, with 40 naHRenuers, nearlv all of whom are Irani Dyea, Skagway and Sumdum The Al-Ki brought but one man, a Mr. Hearn, from Dawson City. Hearn and seven others left Dawson two days after the Jack Dalton parly, but six of the crowd turned back, alter 10 days' travel up tbe river, and Hearn and one other man came on to Juneau via Chilkoot pass. Hearn came on south, leaving his pa-t ner in Juneau. He has nothing to report from Dawson in addition to news brought out bv the Dalton party. He confirms the report that food is very scarce, and that,. there will he suffering there unless proviaioua arrive by the middle of Feb ruary. Hearn is from Colorado. He owns a claim in the rich group on Bo nanza creek, but he has not worked it. He expects to return lu the spring. Different Law for floadik. Ottawa, Dec., 14 A meeting of the Yukon committee of the cabinet was held last night. Although no report has been adopted by the committee, it is under stood that customs reumations to for eigners entering the Klondike will be madeas liberal as possible. The members of the committee and of the cabinet recognize and apprecia e the handsome way in which the United States government met the wishes of the Canadian government in establish ing customs ports at Dyea and Skaguav, to the great convenience of all parties going to the interior. In many other ways the kindness of the United States government ia being mentioned in this connexion as the work of the committee is progressing. The committee will recommend a change in the size of claims, and also the grouping of alternate claims. On Dead, Another Wounded Modesto, Cal., Dec. 13 George C. Green, carpenter, fatally shot his wife and wounded his daughter, Mrs. W. E. Liedman with a revolver today. Ue then turned the weapon on bimselt, but only inflicted a scalp wound. His wife had left him and applied for a divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty and failure to provide. The shooting was the sequel of an unsuccessful at tempt to induce her to return to him. She was living with Mrs. Liedmen. This fact also angered Green, who was at outs with his son-in-law and is sup posed to be his reason for shooting his daughter. How to Prevent Pneumonia. At this time of the year a cold is very easily contracted, and if left to run its course without the aid ot some reliable cough medicine is liable to result in that dread disease, pneumonia. We know of no better remedy to cure a cough or cold than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it quite extensively and it has always aiven entire satisfaction. Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief. This is the only remedy that is known to be a certian preventive of pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it for colds and la grippe, we have never yet learned of a single case having resulted in pneumonia. Persons who have weak lungs or have reason to fear an attack of pneumonia, should keep the reined v at hand. The 25 and 50 cent Bizea for sale by G. A. Harding.

To hope that tbe Cleveland is still afloat is all that anx ious watchers for tidings can do. No word comes to relieve the terrible strain. Men who have stood on the deck for 20 years say that the storm which swept the Paci8c ocean December 4 lo 9, weie the worst ever encountered. On the night of December 9, the storm rose to a hurricane of the most violent nature, tbe waves running mountain hitch. Vessels are coming into port waterlogged, their masts bare of sails, and in some instances their masts broken off. In the face of these conditions, hope is fast being given op that the steamer Cleveland still rides the waves. Seafaring men commence to shake their head. When talking of the fate of the Cleveland they add a word of fear that the schooner Augusta will also be numbered among the vessels which will never return. 'n nnwa htm reached anv cort that ! confirms or disproves the theory that they have gone down. The Cleveland is now seven days overdue, and the An gusta 15. If they have survived the story of their experience will be thrilling. The bark Leslie D., was towed into Port Townsend last night. Her deck load had been carried away, and noth ing was left that had not been securely lashed. The captain says the hurricane which struck the vessel on December 7 was the worst he ever experienced. The Wreck of the Cleveland. Victoria, B. C, Dec. 15. The eteam- er Cleveland, Captain Hall, was wrecked in Barclay sound, and three boats, con taining 20 members of the crew and two passengers are missing. The captain, purser, chief engineer and one passenger and a boat's crew are all that are known to have arrived of those on the ill-fated steamer, and they were only landed after spending a night in an open boat with the big storm raging. The Cleveland sailed from San Francisco, December 4th, for Seattle and when two days out her shaft broke. The vessel was carried northward by the raging seas and wind all the time until dangerously near Star light reet. The officers decided to aban- dond the vessel and try to land, knowing the Vessel Could not be saved. The four boats were lowered but so far aa at pres ent known three of them with their hu man cargoes have been lost. Death I'rom Pride. Pride it is believed, was the direct cause of a death veoterday.says the Port land Tribune. Mrs. Joseph Hayes, an old time favorite on the vaudeville stage, died at St. Vincent's hospital after a com paratively short illness. She was form erly a dancer , but at the time of her marriage, some vears ago, ehe retired from the stage. Her husband is a popu lar engineer on the steamboat Undine plying between Portland and Vancouver, Several davs ago Mrs. tlayes was taken seriously ill at the Esmond hotel. Her condition was such as to alarm her friends and she was removed to the hos pital. The cause of her illness is said to be due to the use of a preparation for preserving the color of the hair. The Drenaration, it is believed, contained poisons harmful to the scalp. Wanted. To buy Maltese kittens, must be pure Maltese, and not over six months old. Apply to G. T. Fields, Oregon City.

The Cuban Outlook Not Encouraging Leutgert's Attorneys Making a Hard Flgbt, Canton, O., Dec. 12. Mra. Nancy Al lison McKinley, mother of President McKinley, passed from this life at a few minutes past 2 o'clock this morning, with all her children and immediate re lations at her bedxide. She did not suf fer any in her last hours but gradually passed from the deep, palsied sleep, in which she had rested almost constantly for the pat 10 days, into the sleep of death. The end was moat beautiful In its peacefulness. She seemed to sleep so soundly that it was difficult to tell whether she had yet breathed her last. This condition continued for half an hour. The president and all tbe family were by her side. To Save Loetgert'a Life Chicago, Dec, 13 Attorneys Harmon and Riez, in their defence of Adolph L. Luetgert, have decided to base a strong fight on the point of tbe corpus delicti. They have been making a special study of the law covering this point. They wdl contend for tbe principle of common law enunciated years and years ago by Lord Hale, that a man cannot be convicted where the corpus delicti and the offense are both proved by circumstantial evi dence. Either the body must be pro duced or the murder proven to have been committed and proved by direct testi mony. Look Bad for the Cuban Havana, Dec, 12. via Key West, Dec 13. It is officially announced that the Spanish column under command of Gen eral Pando, in the province of Puerto Principe, has been pursuing the insur gent leader, General Gomes, so closely that he was obliged to seek refuge in the woods and mountains. Tbe commissioners sent by General Pando to different parts of the island with instructions to negotiate with the insurgents for their acceptance of the autonomous feature of the government proposed by Spain have not returned in single case, which seems to confirm the report that some of them have been hanged by the insurgents and that others are forced to remain with the enemy.
