RUSH FROM KLONDIKC. The Mlaert Are riMlag te Ksear 8an Francisco. Nov. 1. The Alaska Commercial Company's steamer Excel sior, Captain Higgina, arrived tonight, It days from St Michaels ana a; davs from Unalaska. the only interme diate port at which she stopped. . She brought 8,000 ounces ol gold, all De longing to the Alaska Commercial Company. No miners came down on her. She carried three pawtngers Mr. and Mrs. Duoos, who started some time since for Dawson City, and got no further than St. Michaels, and Edward Hamilton, the journalist. There has been no recent communi cation with Dawson City, the Yukon being Impassable, but the latest infor mation received from Fort Yukon, which now constitutes the base of sup plies, is to the effect that the people are swarming out of Dawson City and Circle City by every possible means to escape suffering and possible starva tion. Small boats can still be used on portions of the Yukon, and in one of these an agent for the Alaska Commer cial Company came down from Circle City to Fort Yukon He confirms tne reports of a great scarcity of provisions at all the mining camps. Those who succeed in getting out in time will be very fortunate, for hunger will surely be the fate of most of the midwinter dwellers in the Klondike. The rush to escape from the gold fields exceeds the influx, and the indi cations are that a large colony will winter at Fort Yukon. Cantain Hiffgins. of the Excelsior, confirms the news of the probable loss portion of the whaling fleet, but. can add no details to those brought down by the Thrasher. He also tells of the rcaooe of the men of the Nevaroh from an ioe floe, but says there were 10 saved, and not 14, as at first supposed. It is not expected that muoh, if any, gold will come down this season, un less some of th miners succeed in reaching sailing points by land routes from the interior. Sam Wall and some other newspaper correspondents got as far as Circle City, 80 miles from Dawson, but were obliged to retraoe their way to Fort Ynkon, where food is obtainable. They may remain there until spring, but it is more likely, if opportunity offers, that they will try to reach St. Michaels and return nome to recuperate for a fresh start next spring. Captain Higgins says it is worse than folly for any one to go to Alaska now. RICHER THAN KLONDIKE. Gold to Ba Had for tha Picking Up aa Itotiabua Sound. San Francisco, Nov. 1. Captain B. Couan. of the steam whaler Thrasher, asserts that there are richer gold Ileus on Kotzebue sound than anything that haa yet been discovered on the Yukon.

They said there was plenty of the same stun in the Buckland Noata and Kowaa. rivers, and what they had bad been scooped np with their paddles. Captain Coaun. Captain V itnma, late of the steam whaler Fearless, and one or two other whalers, are bound for Kotzebue sound next spring. The whaling bark Northern Light, now in Oakland creek, will probably be fitted out. and will carry the party to Point Hope. Warrants Were Forged. Washington, Oct 80.

TO SUSPEND SEALING AfreemcDt Reached by the ; Conference Delegates. WHAT WILL ENGLAND DO SOW Kasela, Japan and the felted States Mellere a Means Has Beea round to Preserve tha Hards. Washlneton. Nov. 1. In reliable quarters it is stated that the conference between Russia, Japan ana tne uniuxi States, now proceeding here in refer ence to sealing in the Behring sea and the North Paciflo, has advanced to an mportant stage, and that a proposition baa been reduced to writing, which, II aocoDted. will bring about a complete change in the scaling question. The proposition is said to be aoceptuuie to the United States. It is understood to be aoceptablo similarly to the Russian delegates now here, but, in view of the restrictions placed upon them by their credentials, it has been thought desir able to cable St. Petersburg for Dual in structions. ' The greatest secrecy Is preserved In all official quarters as to the nature of the proposition, and it ia not oraclaiiy admitted that any proposition baa been made. From equally reliable souroes, it is understood that the proposition has a far reaching scope, and provides for the material limitation or entire luspension of pelagic sealing on the blah seas. Such a decisive step, if greed to by Russia, Japan and the United States, would not, it Is under- itood, involve a concerted move to; menace the claims of Great Britain and' Canada to the right to pelagic sealing n the high seas, but would rather bej i proposition expressive of the oonclu-. liona of the three most interested pow- irs that, In the Interests of humanity! nd the preservation of th seal herds! f their respective governments, all na- tions, including Great Britain and berj xilony, Canada, should unite with. Russia, the United States and Japan. In such effective prevention of pelagic! sealing on the high seas as will pot an, ind to it, and thereby secure the pre-j ervatlon of the seals. " ' The deliberations of th conference! leading up to , the proposition werrt productive of numerous interesting and; important features. . But little had been known ox tne Russian regulations until the confer ence met. Under them a neutral tone of 85 miles was established surrounding the Russian islands, within whiohi Qreat Brituiu sgreed to suspend pelagic ealing. While this was of material tdvantage to Russia, yet it was telt that any proposition for the entire sus pension of pelugie sealing, even, be yond 88 miles, would hsve to be recon ciled with the modus Vivendi. It was felt that thia could be done, aa the modus was not a continuing agreement,; but was from year to year depending for its existence on the annual readop lion by the British parliament. Owing to Japan's view of the sub ject the opinion of the seal experts was laid before the Japanese delegates. rhis opinion was to the effect that, while the Japanese seal possessions were little or nothing at the present time, yet that by adequate protection Df the seals, her decimated rookeries would be restored and a large seal prop erty built up. This expert view ap pears to have been convincing to the Japanese delegatus, for Mr. Fujita not Duly cabled the final proposition to Ja pan, but accompanied it with his favor able recommendation. The conferees being thus agreed, it only remained to. hear from the respective governments that they represented. An adjournment was accordingly taken until Wednesday, by which it iS' not doubted the government at St' Petersburg and Tokio will have taken dual action on the proposition. i REMARKABLE RULING. Whitman County Judge Says a Gelding la Not a Horse. i Colfax, Wash., Nov. 1.
