Wahiiinoto, Dec, IS. Moth hotie of cniigroHR today panne 1 Senator Mc Bride's bill for the relief of miner in the Yukon valley, Ala-ka, and in a short time it had redeved the signature of the preiidt-rit. The bill appropriate $2 )0,000, to he expenilu.l nnder direction of the secre tary o( w.ir in the purclune of aupplies for the relief of the people in the Yukon country or other mining regions of Alaitka, and Vr the Iranaportation and dialrihution of inch luppliea, provided that, if the consent ol the Canadian gov ernment be obtained, the secretary of war may extend the relief into Canadian territory. The renolution fulher pro vides that the supplies may be sold in i hat region at such prices as may be fixed bv the secretary of war, or donated to thoae unable to pay for them The secretary of war is authorized to tine the United Stales army in carrying into ef fect the provisions of the act, to import reindeer and drivers for the transporta tion of supplies, and to adopt aurh other provisions as are practicable. The sec retary is directed, when the work shall have been completed, to sell the rein deer or turn them over to the secretary of the interior, in his discretion, and to make a detailed report to congress at the beginning of the next pension of such disbursements made and results accom plished under the art. Secretary Alger jg giving much study to the best means of getting supplies to the Yukon, and has decided to ask for the bids for the delivery of stores directly to Dyea, 6kii;uay or Clrlkat. Already, a great deal of rivalry has sprung np among the towns on the Pacific coast for the honor of being the shipping port of the stores and for the business that will follow, and by re quiring bidders to deliver their goods directly in Alaska, the war deoartinent will be saved the necessity of making a choice among them. Befsaa to Aoeept Doaation. Washington, Dec. 18. Senator Mt- Bride was considerably disappointed be cause tha house insisted upon making the government purchase the relief which is to be sent to the miners on the Yukon. It was suggested to him today that the donations could be made available when the war department came to purchase the supplies. The purchases must be made by bids, and the Portland people can offer the large amount ol stores at such a low figure that it will amount practically to a donation. This is the idea entertained by Senator Haw ley, who had charge of the relist resolu tion in the s n ite. He eiugests that flour and pork could be offered at a figure which would compel the purchase of the supplies at Portland. lie said he saw no reason why the donations should not be accepted, and hung out as long as he dared. The house conferees were verv tenncious, and Hawley feared that fur ther resistance upon his part would have resulted in the defeat of the resolution It had to pass today, as congress took a long recess. Xn. Least for Congresi. Great Bund, Kan., Dec. IS. In a let ter to friends here, Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease states that her lecture engage ments are not proving as profitable as she expected, and announces that she expects to return to Kansas and begin an active canvass for the populist nomi nation for congress in the Seventh dis trict. The fight against Jerry Simpson, she says, will prevent his renomination, and it is her hope to eventually secure a majority In the convention. Mrs. Lease expects to be opposed by the democrats, but says that if nominated she will hold meetings in every precinct in the district and "give the neopleof the Seventh dis trict a repetition of the campaign of 1890, when we first elected Jerry." Deck Load Washed Away. San Fbancisco, Dec. 19. The schoon er Mayflower, Captain Olsen, arrived to day, 15 days from tha Coquille river. The vessel had 112,000 feet of lumber as a cargo when she started, but when she reached here she was 10,000 feet short of that amount. From December 3 to 14 inclusive, heavy gales were encountered, the seas washing completely over the schooner. It wasdunng an unusually heavy gale that the lumber was washed away. A seaman was at one time carried over the side of the schooner, but was caught by a wave and carried back on board again. Mr. Oorbntt'i Cass Again. Washington, Dec. 19. So much is said about the admission of Senator Cor bett that no one can tell exactly how things stand. The Washington Post sornedaya ago had a paragraph saving that be will be seated beyond any doubt, fol lowed a few days later by a paragraph saying that It la Impossible for him toon- tain the seat. Asa mstter of fact, it is almost out of the question to make any definite statement about it. The im pression seems to be that the committee will reKrt his case favorably, but every body is well aware that when the case comes into the senate the nnliinited de bate may prevent a vote from being taken and opponents of Mr. Corbett will Ite able to wear out those who wish to have him seated Men and measures are alike defeated by these means, and Mr. Corbett may suffer, because there is no way of bringing debate to a close in ' the senate.

About three inches of snow covers the ground, and the temperature is about 8 (leg. be low the freezing point. All stockmen are now feeding. There is plenty of feed for an ordinary winter, but if the winter should be long, many sheepmen would run short of hay. Hay is now selling at f 12. 50 per ton, and stockmen will not sell a ton at any price. 5AVIUUI0 UWS VIOLATED. Spanish FWhIng Vessels Captored Alonr the Florida Coast. New Yohk, Dec. 18. According to a Herald correspondent in Punta Gorda, Fla., the revenue cutter McLane, Cap tain Reynolds, has arrived there with seven Spaninh fishing smacks that were seized for violation of the navigation laws. The smacks have been turned over to the customs authorities. The officers of the cutter report that while cruising along the west coast in the vicinity of Charlotie harbor, they dis covered the vessels fishing in American waters. On the approach of the cutter, the Spaniards made an effort to escape, but were apprehended, an officer placed aboard, and under the escort of the Mc Lane were brought into port. The vessels are owned in Havana, and were fishing for that market. They have neither register nor foreign clearance, bat are merely provided with a permit from the Spanish authorities authorizing them to fish on the high seas. Owing to the scarcity of fish on the Cuban coast, the shallow waters of Florida, with an al most inexhaustible supply of fish, offer special inducements to the vessels, which assemble at all times in the vicin ity of Dry Tortugas and along the entire west coast of Florida. Complaints have frequently been lodged against, charg ing them with smuggling liquors and landing refugees from Cuba, thus mena cing the health of the entire Gulf coast by the introduction of yellow fever and smallpox. The seizure of the seven smacks, it is said, is for the failure of their masters to report arrival at the custom-house, as re quired by section 2773 of the revised stat utes. The masters claim that their ar rival was not voluntary, but that they were compelled to seek the harbor be cause of bad weather. In view of the fact that several suits against Captain Willet, late commander of the McLane, are now pending in the United States court because of seizures m ule of Span ish fishing vessels in this district under similar conditions, the outcome of the present case is awaited with interest. The matter has been reported to Wash ington. THIRTEEN MOKE RESCUED. Sine f tha Wrecked Clereland's Grew Still Missing. Victoria, B.C., Dec. 20. The facts of the finding of the first and third mates of the lost Cleveland have been sent hereby Captain Walbran, commander of the government steamer Quadra. The finding of the men at Hesquetand Flores island, the latter 30 and the former 40 miles north of where tbey parted com pany with Captain Hall's boat, proves the theory of Captain Irving that they would be blown north and probably be found in Illayoquot sound. Nothing is said how the boats managed to weather the storm or how they have fare 1 sinco making a landing, for they must have reached shore shortly after tbey lost sight of the captain's boat. The finding of these two boats raises the hope that the second officer's boat will also be found, as it seems probable that, with the biscuits and waste tound near Uclulet, pieces of the boat would also haye been discovered bad she gone to pieces.

A LIFE FOR A LIFE Gas Wachlia Sentenced to be Hanged at Hillsboro. The Prisoner Hail Ileen Oat of the Penitentiary Rut a Few Days When He Commuted the .Harder. ' Hillbobo, Or.. Dec. 18 The motion for a new trial for Gus Wachlin, convict ed for the murder of John D. Led rick, was denied by Judge McBride this morn ing, and the death sentence pronounced. The new trial was asked for on the grounds of newly dincovered evidence, insnmVient evidence to justify the verdict of the jn-y, and errors of law. The court reviewed the arguments of counsel, stating the circumstantial evi dence in the case was very strong, the jury intelligent, and the affidavit not suf ficient to warrant the txranting of a new trial. The defendant was then ordered to stand, and was aaked if he had any thing to say before the judgment of the law was pronounced. He shook his head, and stood with his features set and eyes cast down, showing but little emo tion while the court said : "Yon hays been duly convicted of the crime of murder in the first degree by a verdict of a jury of your countrymen ; you have had every opportunity to pre sent your defense; you have had the benefit of every witness for whose attend ance you have requested subpenas, and you haye bad the benefit of able and en thusiastic counsel, who have left noth ing undone to represent the tacts in this case in as favorable a light for you as possible. That you have been convicted is due solely to the overwhelming char acter of the evidence against you. The jury was right ; there is no doubt of your guilt, and nothing that can now be said will ayail you anything. But per haps this scene and these surroundings may influence some other young man who may be hesitating in his choice be tween a life ot industry and a lite of crime. A few years ago you were be fore this court and convicted of a petty felony. On account of yonr youth and promises of reformation this court con cluded you should be given a chance to live an honest life, and you were given a short ieotence. You had only been re leased from the penitentiary a few days when forgetting yonr pledget of good conduct, yon stole treacherously upon an innocent old man and murdered him for trivial gain. You had received yonr lesson ; yon were young and vigorous, and the means of honest livelihood by honest industry were before you, but you deliberately chose crime. There you made i a fearful mistake. Any man makes a mistake when he allows him self so far to dally with temptation as even to dream that there is any other way to success in life outside of achiev ing it by honest toil. Not only in yonr case, hut in every case, it is true that the wages of sin is death. Yon must die. Do not delude yourself with any false hope of a retrial or pardon, but in , the brief time that is allotted to you upon this earth, I exhort you most earnestly to make such atonement for your crime as may be in your power, and prepare yourself to meet that tribunal before whose bar judtce, jury and pris oner must alike account for the lives they have lived. It only remains for me to pronounce upon you the sentence that your own deed has invoked. "It is the judgment ot this court that you be conveyed to the county jail of this county, and there kept a close pris oner until the time, which will be here after fixed by warrant of this court, for your execution, which will not be less than 30 nor more than 60 days from this date, at which time you will be taken to the jailyard of said county jail by the sheriff of this county, and at sid place and in the presence ot 12 bona-fide elec tors of said county you will by said sher iff be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may God have mercy on your soul."
