Upon the crowed trail no record wai kept of the living, toiling must, braving hard sli:pt and fucint! death itself in Hie 'mud rush lor gold. In the pruce.viioii that daily parsed were people Irom nil parts of the world, unknown to one another. The work of rescue has continued uight and day ever since, last feumlay, being grad ually eyste nuitisEed and consequently meet ing with better results. Thus far the work has been routined to the outskirts of the slide in the hope of rescuing those who are Injured, but not yet dead. The main por tion of the avalance, which ia estimated lo be ftO feet deep and 1"0 yards long, has not yet been touched. If there are any bodies underneath they cannot be rescued in time to save life, Four men were taken out alive after they had been burled for 1!) hours. In many in stances the bodies ot the dead are not bruised in the least, and appear as natural as in life, indicating that they were suffo cated in the soft snow. An Kaay Death. In the avalanches the dead will be found as the sun of spring and summer melts away the snow. They will be preserved to the day of their deliverance as though they had rested iu hermetically sealed caskets. Bodies that have been three days In the now vault are aa perfwit when removed aa I though animation had Juet departed.- On some faces there Is a inille, not aa that of expreaaionleas death, bat of a pleasant mood of life. Tom Cullen, one of the Portland men killed, did not periah in the big avalanche. j but met his fate In a small slide that occurred I about 10 o'clock Sunday morning about a mile south of where the greater mam de ace tided two bourn later. He was anleep in a tent with two companions Otis Seaborn and Frank Sprague, both of Seattle when I the anow came down. All three men were j found In there sleeping bag, and from I the placid expression of their faces and their uudlMurbed surroundings It I inferred that death came to them with merciful ewiftneas. I Moaen'a Kj perl nice. "I was In favor of leaving The Scales at davlight. I urged every one I met to pre pare to move down the canyon to Sheep Camp. Nearly every one on the little shelf about us bad been convinced by the eventa of the early morning that to flee was Im perative for our aafety. We did not appre hend that slides would occur below us. The Scales were consideded to be the mean est place in time of storm in the entire canyon. That was the general opinion. Hut I remember now that avalanches oc cured last winter right where they did San day. "I should nay that from CO to M) crowded together at 10 o'clock and strung out for (be march against the storm.

We bad been beating surging against the storm for nearly an hour, and had proceeded about 2000 feet when the avalanche came over us. "I felt It strike. I kept my feet. My arms were pinioned to my aides. I could hear the snow rushing above my head and piling up deejier Uori as, after I was en tombed. The pressure on every part of the the body was intenae. But that was my only pain. Soon my breath melted the snow away in front of my face, so that I could respire quite freely. "Prayers were heard all around me.

The people interested in get ting it revived are endeavoring to convince the immigrant!! that no farther danger from anowslides exists, but their efforts are nn veiling. Hundreds of people from Dyea and Skafeway have visited Sheep Camp and the tales they brought In are not of tenor to encourage the folk who are bound for the intarior. It is stated that the Indian packers, taught by long experience to read the weather signs on the mountains, etnped work last Friday and urgently a Ivisetl their white co-lahorera to do like wise, as the heavy fall of wet snow on the surface of that which had been honey combed by a recent two day:s thaw was certain lo start slides on the steeper hill sides. Their warning went unheeded, bow ever, until (he avalanche near the summit early Sunday morning created a downward stampede and rent to many poor souls to meet their Maker when they had almo.-t readied a place of safety. And there is not gold enough in the Yukon to induce those Indians lo venture above Sloneliouse today. They declare that the memince will con tinue until another freezing spell looks the snow on the slopes. Of Xadoiiitl Interest. Washington, April 3 -Among recent visitors to Washington was I.. B.

Tiie Alaska bill, which it now in conference, has received the greatest attention at the bands of congiess, and has called out much interest, as it will for the hrst time open tte far north territory to t'ie operation of the land lawsof the United States. The following treaty between Spain and the United States made in ITU'S still exists. "For the bettor promoting of commerce on both side it is agreed that if a war shall break out between the said two nations, one year alter the proclamation of war shall be allowed to the merchants in the cit'es and towns where they shall live for collecting and transporting their merchandise ' Woolen MIU Ituriied.

Wasiii.ioto, April 1.1 The honse of representatives today, after one of the most exciting and memorable days In its history, hv a vote of 322 to If), adopted a resolution which nine-tenths of its members believe) makes war with Spain Inevitable. It is at fact which was grimly commented upon to day by members as they s;oke of the future that every war in which the United Statea has engaged began In April, and that toil ay was the anniversary of the fall of Fort Sumter, wbicb aroused the patriotic fever of the North and made the four years' civil strife a certainty. The resolution adopted directs the Presi dent to intervene at once in Cuba, to restore peace and secure to the people of the island "a stable, Independent government of their own,', and authorizes him to use the army and navy to execute the purple of the reso lution. Lee Ileache Washington. Washikotosj, April 12. Council-General Pitzhiigh Lee arrived here from Ha raua at 2:.'!0 this afurnoon A large crowd of enthusiastic admirers had gathered at the Pennsylvania station, and when the General stepped from the train he was greeted with a tremendous outburst of ap plause. Women waved their handkerchiefa and men their hats, and altogether the demonstration was a notable one. Wash, iugton crowds, as a rule, are not demonstra tive, but this occasion was a conspicuous exception. Flying Squadron Out for a Cruise. Fobt Moraoa, Va., April 13. It became known early in the forenoon that Commo dore Schley bad received sailing orders, and immediately the scene on the . ships ami ashore became oue of animation. At 11:30 o'clock Commodore Schley and a number of other oflicers came olT in the launches to bid larewell to their Wives and families, who have been staying at the hotels. In the midst of the good-byes the all aboard gun boomed Irom the Brooklyn, and the oflicers hastened into tbe launches and steamed quickly to their ships. Tonight it was reported, on what is be lieved to be good authority, that the squad ron was ordered out on a practice cruise, and that the ftV-t will return to Oil Point ' iu a day or two. The squadron presented a most imposing picture when tt finally g it together. First came the Brooklyn, then the Massachusetts, then the Columbia, then the Minneapolis, and finally the battle-ship Texas, holding tbe left of the line, the second place of honor. Lw Leavea Havana.. Havasa. April 9. At 10 o'clock this morning, the Unite I States consul-general, accompanied by British Consul Gollin, called on General Blanco to bid him good bye The Governor-general was very busy and could not receive General Lee. The American flag upon tbe consulate building was taken down by the consulate employes in the afternoon. At 1 o'clock this afternoon, Consul General Lee accompanied by his start, ooarded the dispatch boat Fern, and Con suls Springer and Barker went on board at 5 o'clock. The Machina wharf, where they embarked, was crowded with curious per sons, but no discourtesy was shown. At 5:30, the American vessels began leaving port. The Spanish tug Susie towed out the schooner James Dudley, which ar rived here Thursday last from Pensacola with lumber, but did not discharge her Cargo. The steamer Evelyn followed with about 50 passengers, and after her came the Olivette, with 217 passengers, Bmong whom were Miss Clara Barton and the other representatives of the lied Cross, who have been engaged' in the reliel work in the island. War No Itespecter of uya, Font MoN hoc, Va., April 10. The fact that this was Sunday, and Easter Sunday, made no special difference with the activity ol those on the Hying squadron. In addi tion to the routine work on the Columbia and Minneapolis, some of the new men were drilled at the guns, and the men on the Brooklyn were kept busily employed taking on ammunition. All of the vessels of tbe squadron are now well, if not fully, sup plied witli ammunition, despite sensational stories to the contrary. f Importing Munitions. New York, April 10. The steamship F.truria, which arrived from Liverpool to day, brought a cargo of war munitions for the government, placed aboard by govern ment officers, which tomorrow will be trans ferred t) Governor's island and be prepared for shipment to fortifications along the sea- cost and to be mounted on vessels recently purchased as auxliary cruisers. The cargo consists of rapid-lire guns, machine guns, heavy ordinance and many tons of smoke less powder. Pretty Good Fellow. Kansas City, April 8.
