said no change would be made in the
methods for a few days.
Attorney Kauffman, representing the
New York & Cleveland Company, says
the expense of employing deputies is
great, and that the order of the court
will be enforced rigidly and at once. If.
the campers do not leave, DeArmitt will
petition the court to issue attachments
for contempt. She sheriff has said, how
ever, that he would not interfere with
the campers, but will not permit the
strikers on the highways.
Forty-seven coal companies of the
Pittsburg district have signed the uni
formity agreement.
Deputies Were Outwitted.
Pittsburg, Aug. 20. This morning
the striking miners encamped at Turtle
Creek stole a march on the deputies
guarding the Oak Hill mine. Whi'e the
deputies were waiting for a detachment
of campers to appear on the road to the
mines, the strikers were making a long
detour so as to approach the mouth of
the pit from the other side, and they
succeeded in getting there without being
observed. When the deputies, com
manded by Deputy Sheriff Dayid Hanna
appeared, a copy of the injunction was
read to John Large, leader of the strik
ers, and they left the place.
The strikers'; express the belief that
one of the mines to be operated by the
mineowners in their effort to break the
strike will be the Plum Creek mine, and
that the miners now at work at Oak
Hill and Sandy Creek will be taken to
Plum Creek and the other two mines
closed down. To offset this move the
strikers will go to camp at Plum Creek.
Everything was quiet about Plum
Creek this morning. The strikers fol
lowed out the program outlined by Cap
tain Bellingham, and sent men singly
and in pairs to patrol the roads. The
deputies did not interfere with them.
The Conference Concluded.
Columbus, O., Aug. 20. The miners'
officials have adjourned, after having
mapped out a statement to the effect
that the time has come for united action
by the labor organizations.

sibly the life of his wife bv vitriol. Dr.

Seattle's Rush Abating.
Seattle, Aug. 20. While the rush to
the Klondike seems to be abating some
what, it is believed that if the Portland
comes down Thursday, next week, the
day she is due, with much gold, the ex
citement will be opened up again and
several more thousand will rush
north this fall, regardless of conse
quences. ThuB far this week 544 pros
pectors have left Seattle for the North
222 on the Humbildt, 145 on the Al-Ki,
90 on the Faralion and 87 onThe City of
Kingston. The Rosalie is due from the'

MANY MIST Tt'R BACK.
Mot More Than BOOO Men Can Reach
Klondike This Year.
New Yokk, Aug. 20. The World eavs
Portus B. Weare, a western capitalist,
who is largely interested in many enter
prises with John Cudahy, of Chicago, is
in the city. He was one of the origina
tors of the $25,000,000 company formed
by Cudahy and others to develop the
Klondike territory. Talking to a re
porter he said :
I have been in Alaska. There is plenty
of gold there. It cannot be mined in 50
years. Owing to ihe limited facilities
for transportation it is impossible that
more than 5000 of the large army that
has staited for the new fields can reach
there this year. That is a very liberal
estimate. The divide will be closed in a
few weeks, and those who do not succeed
in crossing before that time will have to
turn back to the settlement or run the
risk of death from cold or 6taivation.
"Our company owns a fleet of 10 ships,
and we have begun to construct five
steamboats at Port Get There. We also
propose to erect buildings in the mining
region. To do this we most have wood
and labor. Heretofore the timber has
been cut by Indians, but nearly all of
them have gone to the mines, leaving
the wood camps almost deserted.
"We shall send out two expeditions
from Seattle. September 10th and 15th.
We have already hired 300 men who
propose to prospect for gold. We want
others. Prospectors must have endur
ance, and that is the kind we want. We
can find remunerative employment for
many more. It is our intention to sail
for Port Get There on St. Michaels is
land, where all who want it will be fed
and lodged and paid $4 a cord for cut
ting wood. An average man can cut a
cord and a half a day. We must have
wood tor our boats and for the buildings
we propose to erect. The doors, windows
and other parts as far as possible will be
made at Port Get There.
"At the proper time our ship will leave
Port Get There and go to the month of
the Yukon via the Aleutian islands. The
gold fields will be reached by June 15, as
early a date, if not earlier, than by any
other route for those who did not start
weeks ago. Then, too, the journey will
be attended with less danger."
Sao Francisco Expeditions.
San Francisco, Auk. 20. The ease-
line schooner Bessie K, will leave for St.
Michaels today. The men who will go
on her have incorporated under the title
of the El Sueno Mining Company. Cap
tain Leonard, of the Encinal Yacht
Club, is at the bead of the exnpditinn.
The yacht El Sueno has been changed
to a steam launch. She will steam, up
the Yukon towing supplies on a barge.
Both launch and barge are on the deck
of the Bessie K.
When -the steam schooner Navarro
leaves she will be nerfectlv enninnnri
i x-i
and will tow up the sternwheeler Dwyer,
and will also carry three iceboats, which
may be used in an emergency.
Ihe schooner La Ninfa is beincr finer!
out for a trip to the Copper river. She
will not carry passengers' but will c.irrv
a private expedition. H. S. Bennett, of
Los Angeles, who is interested in the
voyage, states that he has positive in
formation that there is plenty of srold on
Stewart river and that prospectors do
not bave to undergo the harships which
confront them on a journey to the Klon
dike.

With the close of the Presidential Campaign THE TRIBUNE recognizes the
fact that the American people are now anxious to give their attention to borne 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
fight for the principles for which THE TRIBUNE has labored from its inception
to the present day. and won its greatest victories.
Everv possible effort will be put forth, and money freely spent, to make THE
WEEKLY TRIBUNE pre-eminently a National Family Newspaper, interesting,
