The (ecoud whaleboat of the Texa

Two men were in the Imat, which was

and tailor named 8x-er were getting
reudy to lower the bout, when the
former, it I luid, accidentally struck

which fell alxiut 20 feet to the wuter.
The two men fell overboard and the

Sun Francisco, July 20. Among the
arrival from Alaska on the steamer
Ilerthu was Di. C. F. Dickinson, of
Kisliak island, which lie just at the
head of CooR inlet. He any the gold
excitement all over the territory of Al
aska is something unprecedented, and
that people ure Mocking to the Clon
dyke in a way that threatens to dcop-
nlute many of the trading post und
coast towns.
"When I left Kodiuk, two week
ugo," said Dr. Dickinson, "the people
were leaving all that section and flock
ing in the direction of the Clondyke.
In n wav, the situation is appalling, for
many of the industries are left prac
tically without the mean of operation.
Mine that are paying handsomely ut
Cisik inlet huve been deserted.
"In my opinion there are just a
good placer digging to be found ut
Cook inlet ns in the Clondyke region.
There is not a foot of ground in all
that country that doe not contain gold
in more or less appreciable quantities.
The great trouble hu been that (H'ople
have not had either the courage or op
Hirtunity, I do not know which, to
thoroughly procpect the country. I
think thut in another month the coun
try will laj practically deserted. There
ia room about Cook inlet for thousands
of men, und there is certainly no better
idace in the world for u HNr man."

tained by reporters, those seriously con
sidering making the trip w ill do well
to postpone their departure for some
time. Under the most favorable cir
cninstiitnces the working days in the
Yukon gold fields cannot exceed 100 in
the year. For the other 2(15 day the
earth I covered with snow, the ground
is frozen, nnd the rivers closed with

at this season would reach the Yukon

who succeeds the late henutor Harris,
were presented to tho senate by hi as-'

the oath of office wa duly administered.
Tillinnn offered a resolution to dig

liefore anything could lie eaid, Jones
of Nevada, presented a rexirt from the

Tillman wa quickly on hi feet, ask

was lost, und the resolution went to the

Allison asked thut the turiff confer
ence resirt be taken up, but wa met
with several measures, which senators
desired to have hurried through in an
ticipation of the adjournment of con
gress. Without further delay the con
sideration of tho tariff reort was
resumed.
Chilton took the floor for a ieecli
against the bill us a whole. Concern
ing sugar, he said it wu so cunningly
devised us to make it ilifllcult to deter-
i mine the benefits conferred. The main
point was ii to tho loss suffered by the
people, und after calculation Chilton
coiiclu 'ed thut the sugar trust would
be enabled to charge the people one
cent a siuud more for sugar than un
der the present law. He said the agri
cultural schedule Hlsoought.to lie taken
as u "fraud" schedule, a it wu de
signed to be deceptive.
In connection with Chilton's discus
sion of the agricultural schedule, Till
man wa drawn into a vehement argu-1
incut on the bonellt of un export bounty
agricultural products. 1 lie South
Carolina senator declared thut the im-
position of such a bounty was the most
effective means of destroying the entire
