Steamer Rosalie Sailed
Thursday for Skaguay.
SHE CARRIES 150 PROSPECTORS
All Go Fully Deterlmlned to Conquer
the Pass Wreck of the
Mexico.
Sbattle, Wash., Aug. 12. The steam
er Rosa'ie leaves this afternoon for Dyea
and Skanguay bay with 150 miners, hail
ing from all parts of the East, who in
tend going to the Klondike over the
pass, thence down the Ynkon river. It
is estimated now that fully 4000 men are
encamped along the beach this side - of
the pass unable to get over. Many of
them have lost heart and will come
back. Some of the more courageous
will get through to the diggings and
come back rich.
T. B. Corey, well know in Washington
Illinois and Iowa as a coal mine super
intendent, left Seattle July 18th for the
Northwest with four others, carrying
along provisions for one year. At Dye a
they employed a band of 31 Indians to
carry their outfits and thus made Lake
Linderman on the opposite of the pass
in one trip. They paid the Indians
$525. At the lake their boats were se- :
cured and they started. In a letter re
ceived from Corey, written at Linder
man, he says they were on the eve of
departure and if everything has gone
we1! with they should reach Dawson
City today. Corey is a cautious, deter
mined, strong-will man and it is be
lieved bis party will not only reach the
diggings but will have the honor of mak
ing the fastest trip to the interior on
record.
Some miners at Dyea ond Skaguay
are eelling $500 and $600 outfits for from
$30 to $50. The rush to the mines will
demonstrate for all time which are
thoroughbreds, for none but .thorough
breds can expect to get along and keep
up heart.
The wreck of the steamer Mexico is
still being talked of in Seattle. It now
develops that the officers disobeyed the
orders of Captain Thomas m a manner
that might have resulted disastrously.
When the passengers took to the boats
the captain gave orders to the officers
as follows : "Row away 100 feet and
then tie all the boats together so that we
can all keep together." This was not
done. Two boats etarted to row towards
the fog bank the men thinking they saw
land, and it was only good luck that
made them turn back and keep with the
other six boats. For a time the boats
were scattered in all directions and it is
luck pure and simple that some of the
boats loaded with men, women and
children are not at this moment drifting
around on the open eea with a perishing
crew.
The rush northward bas not abated
and steamers leaving during the next
ten days will be crowded with miners.
Many, however, are preparing to winter
in Seattle and go North in the spring.

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 11. J. A.
Knollin, a livestock commission mer
chant of this city, has bought ic Oregon
80,000 sheep, which are now being driv
en overland to Kansas, where they will

lowing winter and spring. This im

bands, each of which is driven by eight
men. Knollin expects to reach Kansas
with the sheep by October.

that the Alaska Commercial Company
has sent messages to their agents and
commanders of vessels at St. Michaels
instructing them to bring stranded
miners and prospectors who they may'
find at St. Michaels or at the mouth of
tue Yukon back to civilization as an act
of charity. The Alaska Commercial
people deny the truth of these rumors,
and say that they have no intention of
wasting any philanthropy upon fool
hardy adventurers.
It is reported from Juneau that the
blockade at Dyea and Skaguay is daily
growing worse. At the two points there
are now not less than 1009 men unable

SERIOUS BLOW AT CANADIAN ROAO
Discriminating; Duty Will Destroy Their
Oriental Trade.
Montreal, Aug. 12. The decision of
Attorney-General McKenna as to the in
terpretation of the clause of the new
United States tariff which deals with
the imposition of a 10 per cent differen
tial to the duty on foreign goods enter
ing the United States through a contigu
ous country, will be watched with the
greatest interest in Canada.
"If the clause is put into force," said
G. M. Bosworth, freight traffic manager
of the Canadian Pacific railroad, "its
effect will be most serious. It will kill
all our China and Japan business in ex
ports intended for the United States,
and will also kill entirely importation
into the United States through Canadian
ports. Montreal, in summer, and St.
John's in winter, will suffer from
the
adverse legislation."
The same view was expressed by
G.
B. Reeve, general traffic manager of
Grand Trunk Railway.

Constantinople, Aug. 13. Placards
in Arabic characters have been found
posted upon the walls of all the
miniesries demanding a change in the
system of government in the Turkish
empire. Placards declare that other
wise blood will flow as during the Ar
menian massacres.
The minister for war, Riza Pasha, has
sent a circular to all the Turkish com
manders directing them to watch the
officers strictly. This step is attributed
to th increasing discontent visible in
Turkey against the present government.

THERE ABE OTHERS.
A Rich. Gold Discovery Reported
Nicaragua.
From
New Orleans, Aug. 12. A. new gold
field has been discovered, but this one is
in the tropics. Reports have come to
this city lately that big finds of gold
have been made in Nicaragua, and
steamers from that section have been
bringing in gold dust in proof of it.
E. S. Spence, a well-known cit'zen of
Houston, Tex., arrived here on the Ful
ton, plying between New Orleans and
Nicaraguan ports, and confirmed the
stories about the discoveries in Nicara
gua. He says he has been all over the
gold fields, and that gold is there in
large quantities. He bas acquired valu
able claims and will return as soon as he
can make arrangements to work them
He says the whole gold region down
there is very rich and the climate splen
did. He eays unemployed miners of the
United States will do much better there
than in attempting to go to Alaska.
Food in Nicaragua is cheap, and other
expenses are reasonable.
Gold In California.
kedding, Ual., Aug" 12. JNews was
received here from Coffee Creek to the
effect that $40,000 more of gold dust and
nuggets were taken out yesterday after
noon from the pocket out of which the
Graves brothers took their $42,000 last
Saturday.
Another exceedingly rich discovery of
gold is reported on Morrison gulch, about
two miles from the scene of the Graves
brothers discovery. It is said $18,000
was taken out Wednesday afternoon and
that two miners are taking out gold on
an average of $40 to the pan. The strike
is on the same vein of the Graves claim,
and is supposed to be an extention of
the same.
Another 51ine Discovered.
Reddin$, Cal., Aug. 12. Mr. Black
burn, owner of the Deep Gravel mine
near Trinity Center, Trinity county,
brings in news of another rich strike on
Morrison gulch, seven miles above the
claim of the Graves Bros. He stated
that Burgess and Murphy discovered a
seam in their diggings 300 feet long, and
upon prospecting the same same got as
high as $10 and $20 to the pan in several
places. The formation is black iron and
ochre and porphyry walls. Miners and
prospectors are leaving their claims to
locate ground on Morrison gulch, and
the whole bed of the gulch will soon be
located.
NEW CONTESTS TO OPTIMISM.
Senators Stewart and Jones Admit
Prosperity is Here.
New Yokk, Aug. 12. The Times to
day publishes the following f
Senator Stewart is one of the latest
converts to commercial optimism. He
is engaged in a vigorous compaigu in
Wall street, and he said yesterday that
he had heard so much about better times
that he had determined to gather in a
part of the prosperity which is now not
only rampant in the street, but outside.
When asked what had brought about
the change in his views, he said :
"There is no room for pessimism in
this country, no one can be a bear in the
face of the wheat famine in Argentine,
Russia, Hungary and India. In view of
these conditions abroad I should not be
surprised to see silver sell for 25 cents
and wheat as high as a dollar,
"There is nothing in talking silver at
the present time, and my advice to my
friends in the West is to fall in line with
the forces of prosperity and progress and
receive their due share of the reward."
"Are the people in the West alive to
this new situation?"
"The people in the West," be replied,
"are wide awake. They know a good
thing when they see it. Most of them
are hanging on to their cereals with con
fidence born of hope and actual know
ledge of what is going on around them.
With their immense crops they will
be able not only to liquidate their
indebtedness to the money sharks of the
Fast, but will inaugurate a buying
movement that will surprise the people
in this part of the country. I think that
by the late fall the truth of what I said
and reiterated during the campaign will
be generally recognized, and this is that
there can be no general prosperity in a
country that is not born and sustained
iu the West."

Cheif,"says: "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others,, but never
got the true remedy until we used Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our borne, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds. Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on yon as
just as good as Dr. King'9 New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

fact that the American people are now anxious to give their attention to home and
business interests. To meet this condition, politics will have far less epace and
prominence, until another State or National occasion demands a renewal of the
light for the principles for which THE TRIBUNE, has labored from its inception
to the present day, and won its greatest victories.
