THE VICTORIA STEAMERS.
Bristol and Islander Will Both Go Well
Filled.
.. "Victoria, Aug. 14. There are-in Vic
toria tonight close upon 1000 men of
every class and from every part of the
world, who are crazy to start on the long
trip to the new Elderado. These men
have tickets which carry them to Skag
uay bay on the big collier Bristol and on
the steamer Islander, which will sail to
morrow. The Bristol has been 6tted
with bunks for men and Malls for horses
from the bottom of her hold to the top
of the cabin deck, and every bunk and
stall will be occupied. Close upon 500
men are going on the Bristol, and just
aa many horses and males. The big
collier is well filled up, feed for these
animals and the outfits of the men tak
ing up an immense amonnt of space.
The Islander has as large a crowd, but
much of the space on her is taken up by
a contingent of mounted police, their
horses dogs and outfits. They realize
that they have a winter's trip before
them before they reach Dawson City,
and are taking dogs and slt-igtis. Horses
will bo taken as far as poesible, and
when thev are of no more use will be
killed and used as food for the dotes. A
few men are going up with the idea of
purchasing outfits from men who have
become discouraged, and are taming
back, but most are well provided for,
and all are taking pack animals, having
in this respect taken the advice of tueu
who went before, and who have written
of the difficulty in securing animals
or Indians to pack goods across the
pass.
H. W. E. Canavan, of Ottawa, who
was a member of the Canadian bound
ary survey, in which capacity he learned
much about AlaBka, is here on his way
north. He takes the Islander tomorrow.
Mr. Canavan is soing to look over the
ground for the Klondike Placer Mining
& Prospecting Company, of Brantford
and Paris, Ontario. This company will
send out a little party in the spring to
prospect and work claims in the Cana
dian Yukon.
CAUSED BY KLONDIKE FEVER.
Tbe Schofield Murder Mystery Cleared
Up.
San Jose, Cal., Aug. 14. The mystery
of tbe death of George W. Schofield, the
farmer who was killed last Saturday,
was cleared away today by the confea
sions of Daniel Dutcher and Irving Minn,
both accused of complicity in the crime.
Mann confessed first while proceeding
to the preliminary examination held at
Madrone, and later in the day Dutcher
substantiated Mann's story.
It appears that SchoSeld had threaten
ed to kill the household, on Friday night
in a family row precipitated by the re
fusal of Mrs, Schofield to sanction the
mortgaging of tbe farm so that Schofield
could go to the Klondike, and that
Dutcher shot at Schofield, but the latter
bad not returned the fire, and the family
went to bed. Early on Saturday morn
ing, Dutcher who had taken his rifle to
his room was awakened by a renew al of
the trouble, and saw Schofield chasing
his wife around tbe yard with a shotgun
in his hands. To protect her life,
Dutcher fired, the ball striking Schofield
just over the eye and killing him.
The confessions are generally believed,
and general satisfaction is expressed that
the mystery has been cleared up. The
examination was postponed ti Tuesday
next.
