Port Townsbxd, Wash., Juiy 26.
The steamer City of Topeka arrived last
night from Alaska. She brings news
that the Clondyke fever ia on the in
crease at Jnneaa. Nearly every able
bodied man there has gone or is prepar
ing to go. to the rich fields.
Authentic reports direct from Dyea
are that there ia now as much freight
piled up at the head of the inlet as
the Indians can pack over the divide
in the next 18 months. Thia amount
of freight will be more than doubled
when the steamers Queen and Mexico
now en route, arrive. This condition of
affairs practically precludes . all possi
bility of hundreds of the rushers reach
ing the mining region this year.
FrankJF. Meyer, the Juneau pioneer
newspaper man, will leave there in two
weeks for Dawson City, by a different
route than by Dyea and over the divide.
He will go by the route followed by
Lieutenant Schwatka, who conducted an
exploring party into the Yukon valley
in 1880. Thia route starts from Taku
inlet, 30 miles south of Juneau. From
Taku to Lake Tel sin the distance is 130
miles, over level prairies, and the
country from Lake Telein is open valley
through to the Yukon river by way of
the Hootingua.river. . With the aid of
pack .horses the Taku route is by far the
moat preferable. It is probable that a
stage line will soon be operated on this
route. Parties who have been over both
routes aay the walk of 130 milea over
level country ia( more easily accom
plished than that of 15 milea over Chil
cat summit.
John G. Brady has taken the oath of
office and ia now Alaska's governor.
Charles Lind, a . notorious character
known as "Russian Charley," is no
longer a resident of Kitchikan, Alaska.
He was detected in the act of laying a
dynamite bomb under the residence of
Rev. A. J. Campbell, who is engaged in
founding an Episcopal church at Kitch
ikan. When captured Lind would have
been lynched but for the interceding of
Rev. Campbell, whom be tried to kill.
After the minister pleaded for two hours
for the villian'a life the miners turned
Lind loose with a warning to leave the
locality within two hours. Lind has a
hard name in southern Alaska, where
he has served numerous terms in jail
for violating the liquor laws.
8HIPWEBCK IN NORTHERN WATER.
' A Steamer Bonnd . for Alaska Bald to
Save Seen .ost.
Port Townsbnd, Wash., July 26. A
letter which came down on the steamer
Topeka and was received here today by
British Vice-Consul Clocker, being
vague information of a shipwreck some
place in northern waters. The writer
says provisions will be verv scarce in the
mining camps the coming winter, owing
to the loss of a steamer with a large
cargo of freight. No particulars or even
the name of the steamer were given, and
much speculations is indulged in here
as to the name of the steamer. All
steamers running north from the Sound
can be traced np to a week ago, and as
the letter was written in Sitka six days
ago, the wrecked craft cannot belong to
to the Sound and Alaska fleet. The
ship referred to has evidently hailed

Another ' private letter from Juneau
brings information that several persons
who started from Juneau for Dawson
City by way of Dyea and Chilcat pass,
after reaching Dyea gave up the trip and
returned to Juneau. Either of the new
route by way of Taku will be taken or
the parties will not attempt to make the
trip until spring.

Oil, ON WARSHIPS'.
Plan or an Indiana Man For Substi
tuting; It.
Andkksok, Ind., July 26. Judge W.
A. Chipman baa gone to Washington to
file patent applications and interest
proper government officials in inventions
of Frank M. Reed, of this city, which
have been completed, tested practically
and found to be capable of revolution
izing the handling of war vessels at sea.
The inventions carry out to perfection
the idea originated by Russia in using
oil instead of coal as a fuel for war ves
sels. Reed's invention covers a system
of oil burning which would make it pos
sible for a vessel like the Indiana to car
ry enough fuel to last a trip around the
world.
The system, is gas generation from oil.
The gas is generated by an atomizing
plant, is smokeless and is capable of a
tenth more heat than the Russians get,
or 33 per cent 'more heat than the gov
ernment is now getting from coal, mak
ing it possible to work np to greater
speed. Where 30 stokers are now neces
sary on a great war vessel , one man
could handle all the valves.
Another ot tne inventions covers a
storage tank that is absolutely bullet
and shell-proof. The coat of the equip
ment' is very small, and would be paid
in a month or so in the saving of fuel.

Miners Join the StrIKe
A' Crisis Is Imminent.
Pittsburg, July 26. Lively times are
promised in the coalmining situation
this week. A crises is pendiug. This
is conceded on all sides. The arbitra
tion commissioners, on one side,' feel
hopeful that they will bring about an
initiative for a settlement at the meeting
Tuesday morning. The miners officials
on the other hand, claim to have adopted
measures that will make a complete tie-up.
It baa developed that many of the
Virginia minera are waiting for word
from the Pittaburg district, . especially
from the New York & Cleveland mines.'
They want to hear of the miners in these
mines bavins; joined the general suspen
sion. This, it is claimed by officials.
will bring all the faltering ones in West
Virginia into line, thus making the
strike effective in that it will shut off
the supply of coal.
Arrangements have been made . for
Eugene V. Debs and other prominent
officials to come to thia city and hold a
meeting for the benefit of the New York
& Cleveland miners Thnrsday morning.
Among others expected to be present
are Samuel Gompers, A. D. Ratchford,
M. M. Garland and W. D. Mahon. . At
this meeting it is intended to strike the
final decisive blow, and, if possible.
make the tie-np complete. The reputa
tion of Debs, it is expected, will draw
12,000 miners to the meeting.

Faibmont, W. Va., July 26. Today
the great break among the miners failed
to take place, i Debs and Mahon have,
gone to Wheeling, not expecting to re

tions at Wheeling tomorrow.
Report Was a Canard.
Pittsburg , July 26. The report that
a raid on the mines of the New York &
Cleveland Gas Coal Company was con
templated this morning waa .without
foundation. The mines were running as
usual and everything was quiet.
Colonel W. P. Bend, the Chicago
operator, arrived in the city today.
While he favors arbitration, he says the
true uniformity movement is a humbug.
If the meeting tomorrow is not for the
purpose of settling the strike by arbi
tration, he will not attend, as be will
not lend hia support to a plan to bring
about a settlement when uniformity is
established.

Life in the Polar Region.
Some curious details of life in the po
lar region have been obtained from
members of the Nansen expedition.
They all dwell on the f eel inps of delight
which they experienced in once more
meeting other human beings, bo tired
did they .become of seeing the same
faces and hearing the sane voices day
after day in the course of the slow drift
northward that in the end a feeling1 of
irritation was produced. At times thia
irritability became well-nigh insup
portable. Finding it almost impossible
to endure the sight of another day, they
would set off on long walks over the
ice-, each man by himself. It was an
astounding thing, one man said, to see
his comrades striding away over the
ice from the ship, each in c different di
rection, and carefully avoiding his fellows.
Klnff Humbert and His Soldiers.
King Humbert, in the name of him
self, of Queen Margherita, anil of the
princes of the royal family of Italy, has
given to the government for the fam
ilies of the dead and wounded soldiers
in Africd the sum of 4,000,000 francs.
This sum is to be distributed without
distinction between the Italian and the
native soldiers, who fought side by side
against the Abyssinians. -King Hum
bert has also expressed his intention of
furnishing, if necessary, another sum of
1,000,000 francs, in his name and that of
the queen, to be divided among- the
wounded. -
