for the Long Trip.
Seattle, Aug.. 7. Not since the be
ginning of . the Clondyke rnah have
there been euch numbers of goldhnnters
in the city. Apparently the stampede
to the northern goldfielda ia now at ita
height. S ten m era and sailing vessels
will leave nearly every day for the next
ten days, and from the way berths and
staterooms are eagerly reserved in ad
vance by the throngs of goldbuntera ar
riving daily from the East and Middle
West, it is probable that all of the ves
sels in the list will be taxed to their
greatest capacity.
The North American Trading & Trans
portation Company has raised the rate
to St. Michaels on the last trip north of
the Portland to $1000. The Portland is
to sail September 10th. In selling a man
a ticket at the prices named, the com
pany will guarantee to land him at
Dawson City on or before June 15. 1898,
and board him all winter. It will also
provide work at cutting cordwood at $4
per cord. The high rate is made be
cause of the chances of the Yukon freez
ing up, compelling the company to feed
the passengers all winter long at St.
Michaels.
The Queen sailed at 9 this morning
with all her accommodations crowded.
From present indications no more
tickets can be procured for St. Michaels
via the steamer Humboldt after Mod
day. Nearly 200 tickets have been dis
posed of already, and the company in
tends to carry only 220 passengers.
The rush seems to be unabated, and
with the Humboldt, as with all other
companies, it is first come first served.
The schooner Loyal', which has been
taking on supplies for several days, has
sailed under command of Captain San
ger. She went heavily laden with lum
ber, besides a good quantity of miners'
supplies. Captain Sanger is familiar
with the Alaskan coast, and after dis
charging his cargo at Sitka, will pros
pect the islands of Southeastern Alaska.
8AILIHG OF THE WILLAMETTE.
Mine Hundred and Fifty Goldseekers
Bound for the Clondyke.
Tacoma, Aug. 7. The steamer Wil
lamette sailed at 8 o'clock this evening,
for Dyea and Skaguay, Alaska. She will
carry to the nonth 950 men, bound for
the Yukon country and 2000 tons of
freight, all supplies, and 200 horses, be
longing to the goldseekers. Two hun
dred and fifty men boarded the Wil
lamette here and took with them 200
tons of supplies and 57 horses. It is
estimated that 10,000 people visited the
ocean wharf, where the vessel was lying
today, to see the ship of the argonauts
and bid farewell to the intrepid ad
venturers. The Willamette arrived at 9 :30 this
morning from Seattle, having among
others aboard 145 goldseekers from the
Golden state. Visitors began pouring to
the wharf early. They went in flocks,
and as individuals, forming a perfect
stream of humanity, which, when it
reached the waterfront, overran the
docks, poo red through the warehouses
and spread along the piers. Rope a were
stretched to keep them from getting in
the way of the stevedores and 'long
shoremen who were loading the supplies
and animals on the ship. Burros, mules

and horses were run aboard across gang
planks. Some of the more obstinate
ones were lifted high in the air in port
able stalls, and squealing, snorting, and
kicking were dropped slowly into the
big collier's hold.
When the ship got away there were
many pathetic scenes. Men who had
resolutely set their hearts on a journey
to beneath the Arctic skies, to seek for
tunes amid hardships and possibly pri
vations, allowed the tender love of home,
wife or sweethart and friends to over
reach their sterner qualities, and, for
the time, expressions of human sympa
thy forced visions of golden wealth into
the background. As the ship drew
away from the wharf cheer after cheer
went up from the argonauts and the ad
miring multitude on the wharf. The
big ship's upper works were covered
with prospective Clondykers, many of
whom are arrayed in typical frontier
garb.
A Poorly-Kqulpped Crowd.
Pokt Townsend, Wash., Aug. 7. The
steamer Walla Walla arrived this morn
ing from San Francisco, with 420 pas
sengers, 300 of whom are bound for Alas
ka. Of the Alaska-bound passengers,
120 are tourists, who will return in ten
days, while 180 are bound for the gold
fields. Among the Walla Walla passen
gers for the north were several members
of the light-fingered gentry, aud many
watches were lifted and pockets picked.
With the men of suspicious avocation
were several women, who will accompany
them to the Clondyke. Many of the
prospective miners who arrived on the
Walla Walla are starting with less than
50 pounds of provisions. Many have
not a pound of provisions, freight or
change of clothes. They say they will
not starve so long as there is a pound of
food to work for, beg or eteal. The pas
sengers on the Walla Walla are the
poorest equipped crowd to go north since
the rush began.
Production of Cold.
Washington, Aug. 7. Mr. Preston,
director of the mint, estimates the gold
production of the year 1896 to have been
$205,000,000, of which the United States
contributed over $53,000,000 ; and for
1897, it is believed, the world's gold pro
duct will reach at least $240,000,000, an
increase of $35,000,000, over 1896.
"That the world's -net product will
continue to increase for a number of
years to come," Bays Mr. Preston, "ia
self-evident, as new mines will be opened
up in all parts of the world, and, with
the improved appliances and methods of
extracting the gold contained in the ores,
it is believed that by the close of the
present century the world's product will
exceed $300,000,000.

PROTEST FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA
Gold-Seekers Disgusted With the New
Mining; Regulations.
Sbatti k, Aug. 7. A special dispatch
to the Post-Intelligencer, from Victoria,
B. C, says :
All through British Columbia a storm
of protest has been raised by the pro
mulgation of new rules for miners'
operations in the Yukon placers, and to
day and yesterday the wires have been
kept hot with messages urging the un
reasonable character of the laws pro
posed. Every practical mining man
agrees that the regulations cannot be
enforced by anyone of mining experi
ence, for, SB Chief Justice Davie advised
the minister of the interior today, the
100-foot claims are ridiculously large for
a rich placer-ground proposition. To
collect royalties on sales proposed can
only provoke a collision between the
minerB, who will never pay such a pro
portion of their output as proposed, and
the miners will have the support of the
public. The reservation of alternate
strips to the crown is also viewed here
as quixotic and unworkable, and not a
single miner of some forty-six inter
viewed will admit that the regulations
are either practicable or justifiable by
necessity .of precedent. Public meet
ings have been called for Tuesday next
at which the sentiment of this city will
be embodied in resolutions for presen
tation to Ottawa.
What use is there in eating when 'food
does you no good in fact, when it does
you more harm than good, for such is
the case if it is not digested?
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, for it will
not be digested. You must restore the
digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested, ' when
an appetite will come, and with it a re
lish for food.
The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy; then you will
put flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
aa made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food already digested and ia a
digester of fooda aa well. Ita action is
prompt and its effects permanent.

The Pension Roll.
Washington, Aug. 7. The pension
roll of the United States has almost
reached the 1,000,000 mark. Commis
sioner Evans has just issued a state
ment, showing that at the beginning of
this fiscal year the pensioners numbered
983,918, an increase of 12,850 for the past
year. During the year 50,101 new pen
sions were granted and 3971 persons
were restored to the rolls. Old age and
disease, however, ia working inroads
into the list, for there were 31,960 deaths
during the year. Other sources of loss
were 1074, from remarriage of widows ;
1845 orphans attained majority; 2683
failures to claim pensions, and 3560
losaes from unrecorded causes.

Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Remedy,
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to me. Yours
