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.
When the whaler was at romi nope,
on her way into the Arctic last spring,
the Indians oame in with a quantity 01
gold In small sealskin bags. 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.

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.

REMARKABLE RULING.
Whitman County Judge Says a Gelding

i
Colfax, Wash., Nov. 1. William
Herbert, a horse thief, desperado and
alleged murderer, wanted in Wyoming
for killing a peddler, was cleared todays

markable ruling by Judge McDonald,
tho eccentric judge ot Whitman county
superior court. The evidence was;
abundant and conclusive that Herbert
stole the horse, but his attorney moved
tor n dismissal of the case on the
ground that the complaint said
'horse," while the animal was a geld

was not a horso, and the case was dis
missed. Herbert is still held for other

GREAT.
Juddea Death af Henry Oeer.e. Candl.
date for Mayor of Kew York.
New York, Nov. 1. -Henry George
author -of "Progress and Poverty,"
nd candidal of the Thomas Jefferson
Democracy for mayor of New York,
died at 5:10 o'olock this morning in
th Union Sqnar hotel,-of cerebral
apoplexy. In his great Coojier Union
speech, accepting the nomination or
mayor, less than a month ago, lie said:
Til make this race it it costs mo
my life. This is a call of duty, and
as a good cititen I have no right to ills
regard It on account of mere porsoiiul
consideration."
Today the cheers 01 tne woraers imro
...,i,i,.i ln changed to signs, tor,
true to his words, Henry eorgo, tho
apostle of the rights oi man, uieu an un
wished to die in harness, fighting for
tha cause toward the close of tho
greutest municipal political contest the
world has ever seen.
t .nut n u it noisv. snouting innings
rushed Into halls and streets to hear
the speeches that in a great pan were
filled with personality aim oiiiernenn,
rockeU flared and fires burned, men
argued and urged, and all signs bore
witness that the cumpaign was at Its
iclght. But whon today uawneu an
was cnangeu.
lieve that one who bad been so mncn
in the public eye In the lust few weeks
was no more, and for the time being
the complexion of the political situa
tion was forgotten in genuine srwi.
Those who last night bitterly de-
nounced the man who said i sianu ioi
the real democracy, the democracy oi
Thomas Jefferson," to-iuy rwsiiBi
many touching kindly acta in the life
of the dead man, which showed his na
ture and Joined in the words which
came as a reply to the lips of all:
"An honest man Is dead.'
This man of mighty brain and un
daunted oourage was physically frail,
and the strain of an exciting oampaign,
requiring ipeeohmakmg at points many
miles apart night after night, was more
than natur could stand. He kept it up
to the end, and only a few hours be
fore the dread messenger cried "Halt"
Henry George had addressed enthusias
tic audiences in three oi we towns oi
th boroughs of Queens and a still
larger assemblage in- an uptown hall
here. He soke at Whitestone at 8
o'clock, and made a speeoh at College
Point and Flushing before returning to
New York to speak at the Central
opera-house. At Whitestone he drove
from the railway station to tne meet
ing hall at a gallop. To the cheering
crowds he said:
"I believe that all the neede.i re
forms are summed up in that phil
osophy tbe right of every man to eat,
to drink, to scuk, as he sees fit, so
long as he does not trench on the rights
of any other man. I believe that
Go I, the father, can take care of its
laws there is no need for us to get into
trouble trying to meddle with God's
laws, to enforce them. If I am elected,
tnd I believe that I will be elected, I
will enforce the laws upon the rich and
poor alike."
MARIE VAN ZANDT'S INSULT.
in Esplanatlon of tha Memorable Event
of 1885.
Paris, Nov. 1. A remnrkable story
is going the rounds as to the real animus
f the tremendous demonstration in
March, 18 J5, against Marie Van
Zandt, the American singer.
M. Goron. formerly a high offloial at
the prjfuctuie of police, declares that
he memorable and offensive attacks
upon the singer was engendered by the
followers of M. t erry to counteract an
intended demonstration against him by
radicals and socialists after the disaS'
trous defeat of the French at Langson,
Annan). M. ("amercers, the prefect
Df police of the day, was consulted as
to how to prevent the intended demon
jtration against the unpopular M
Ferry, and according to M. Goron, he
ttiggestcd a monster demonstration
against Miss Van Zandt. All the avail
able detectives mid theatrical claques
were sent to tho opera ooinique to howl
snd hiss the American singer. hen
ever there was a lull in tho uproar the
cry was raised that Miss Van Zandt
was going out by another door, and so
skilfull was the trick that the excite
ment was continued until midnight
and the intended M. Ferry dumonstra
tion was delayed until too lute to go to
'.he foreign ofllce.
