BACK FROM DAWSON
Four Klondikers Came Out
of the Wilderness.
EACH TELLS A DIFFERENT TALE
Kt Thorp. Who Was Reported to Dave
8130,000, Says Be and Three
Others Have S20.000.
Seattle, Aug. 21. The eteamer
George E. Starr arrived at her dock this
morning shortly after 10 o'clock from
Dyea and Skagnay, and was met by a
great crowd of people, it having been re
ported that eeveral men from the Klon
dike, having made their way to salt
water overland, were on board. This
report proved true, but the greatest in
terest centered in the appearance of one
passenger, Ed. Thorp, who was expected
to come on to Portland, and who is re
ported to have somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $130,000 in Klondike gold in
his possession.
Thorp and his companions talk, bat
decline to tell the same etory twice, and
it is next to impossible to get anything
definite from them. Willis Thorp,
father of Ed. Thorp, received a letter a
few days ago on the Al-Ki from his eon
saying that he bad $130,000 in gold, at
least that is what Willis Thorp is alleged
to have told his friends, but now Thorp
and his three companions on the Starr
unite only on one point in telling tbeir
story ; and that is that they have $20,000
between them.
A reporter found Ed. Thorp a moment
after the steamer landed and began to
ply him with questions. At this mo
ment the elder Thorp, father of Ed, who
seems to have an antipathy for news
papers in general since the publication
of his son's alleged wealth, rushed up
and shouted :
"Here, Ed, don't talk to those fellows ;
they are a bad lot and will do you up.
Don't say a word, coino and go home."
Then he led his son away.
Four men on the steamer are direct
from DawBon. They are George L.
Stewart, Ed Thorp, Joe Winterheld and
Jack Ross, and their Indian guide,
Schwatka. Stewart went to the Yukon
in July, 1896, and located a claim on
Eldorado creek, a branch of Bonanza
creek, and about sixteen miles from
Dawson.
When the party left Dawson, July 4th,
nothing had been heard of the discov
eries on Stewart river. The party came
op the Yukon to Pelly river, which they
reached on the 17th of July. From
there they came over the Dalton trail
and reached Skaguay August 12th. The
Dalton trail necessitates packing a dis
tance of between four and five hundred
miles, and is used mostly for driving
stock over to the Yukon.
When the discoveries were made on
the Klondike last vear, there was a
stampede from Circle City, although
there are good paying mines at that
camp.
It is the intention of all the party to
return to their mines at once on the next
trip of the steamer George E. Starr, if
they can get ready. They all came out
for supplies. Mr. Stewart said supplies
ran short in the spring and that flour
then went up to $70 per sack. At pres
ent it is $12 per hundredweight. Old
miners on the Yukon say that the trans
portation company promise every year
to have plenty of provisions for the next
winter, but that invariably the supply
runs short.
Excitement In London.
London, Aug. 21. The fact that the
price of wheat has reached $1 a bushel
in the United States has produced con-
Sunburn
and Tan . . .
For Sunburn, Tan, etc., Garland's
Happy Thought Salve is the most satis
factory, prompt and sure remedy ever
placed within public reach. Make a
simple application of the Salve in the
evening, in this, as in an otner cases,
it 'cures while you sleep," Only a few
applications are necessary, even in ex
treme cases.

siderable excitement among grain spec
ulators and others in London. The sec
retary of the Baltic exchange said :
"Of course, we have been caught
largely short. The raise in the price of
wheat, with the uncertainties of the fu
ture, make a somewhat hysterical mar
ket. The rise of 6d in the price of bar
ley, for example, today was due to no
assignable cause. There is no specula
tion here, but there is some speculation
at Liverpool."
The secretary of the Corn Exchange
remarked :
"There is no speculation here, as each
transactions are generally known.
There has been a disposition on the part
of the outside public to bear the market,
but the brokers have dissauded their
clients from so doing. The rise in prices
yesterday morning and today was not
due so much to the dollar wheat as to
the buying by France, where the
harvests are proving disappointing.
The millers are short.
The brokers have not made much, as
they held no stocks, but is needless to
say the rise of half a crown in the price
of wheat yesterday makes the liveliest
times an Mark Lane. The Americans
apparently have got it all their own
way."
Robbed by Depositors.
Shepherd, Mich., Aug. 21. Elmer E.
Struble, cashier of the FarmetB bank,
was shot this morning by robbers. He
was getting ready to go to Mount Pleas
ant and was in the vault when the shots
were fired. All the cash in the bank
was taken, but the amount is not
known.
Cashier Struble died about six hours
after the shooting. It is reported to
night that the robbery was committed
by several desperate depositors, who,
believing the bank was about to fail,
followed Struble to the bank and upon
being refused their money, shot the
cashier and looted the bank. The prose
cuting attorney is said to have the names
of all the men and arrests are hourly ex
pected.
Germany Threatens to Withdraw.
Constantinople, Aug. 21. The peace
conference adjourned today, owing to
the nonreceipt by some of the ambassa
dors of instructions from tbeir govern
ments. The German government threat
ens to withdraw from the concert unless
the Turks be allowed to continue their
occupation of the province until the in
demnity agreed on be paid by Greece.

SPAIN'S PROSPECTS.
London Speaker Says United State
Only Can End the War.
London, Aug. 21. The Speaker pub
lishes a long article presenting the
gloomiest view of the prospects of Spain.
It says isees no chance of the war in
Cuba ceasing to outrage humanity until
popular feeling in the United States
forces that government to find a pretext
for intervening and further complicate
the situation, perhaps by a naval war.
Axcarraga's Policy.
New York, Aug. 21. A World dis
patch from San Sebastian, Spain, refers
to the definite appointment of General
Azcarraga as prime minister, and says:
The cabinet, it is understood, will fol
low the main lines of policy of the dead
premier, both at home and in the colo
nies, and will do its best to obtain the
support of all the groups of the conser
vative party without distinction.
General Azcarraga has no ill feeling
toward America. He has always been
on friendly terms with Minister Taylor,
is a traveled and enlightened officer.
He had two long interviews with the
regent before bis appointment. They
were devoted largely to discussing the
relations between the United States and
Spam, on account of the approaching ar
rival of General Woodford, the new
American minister. When he comes
the new government will be obliged to
let the nation know the whole truth re
garding those relations and the purport
of General Woodford's instructions.
This is the feature of the crisis which
causes the graveBt anxiety to all Spanish
statesmen and generals.
The minister of war declared himself
ready to assume the responsibilities of
premier if the queen appealed to his pat
riotism and loyalty, and stated that he
bad received from Marshals Planco,
Campos and Lopez Dominguez offers of
hearty support, and from Senor Sagasta
a promise of freindly neutrality. He
felt confident that all conservatives and
even the dynastic parties like the Car-
lists and republicans, to a man would as
sist the crown and cabinet in facing the
complications in the colonies of foreign
dictation.
SHERMAN'S NOTE TO JAPAN.
Promptly Acknowledged by
Minister
Hoshl. ,
Washington, Aug. 21. Secretary
Sherman has received prompt acknowl
edgment from Minister HoBhi, of Japan,
of the secretary's letter of last Satur
day, relating to the annexation of Hawaii
to the United States. Mr. Hosbi's ac-
know'edgment is formal, and doea not
go into the merits of the subject, as the
answer to Secretary Sherman's last note
will not be made until word comes from
the Japanese foreign office. The Asso
ciated Press dispatches contained all the
features of Secretary Sherman's note,
with one exception namely, that
Japan's prior note referred incidentally
to reports that a majority of the inhab
itants of Hawaii did not favor annexa
tion. Mr. Sherman's answer takes issue
with this statement, and urges at some
length that the preponderance of influ
ence in Hawaii is favorable to the annex
ationof the islands to the United States
Aside from this, and - the approval ex
pressed of the plan of arbitration be
tween Japan and Hawaii of the immi
gration question, the Sherman note iB an
enlarged argument of Mr. Sherman's for
mer letter, stating the attitude of the
United States aa favorable to annexation
The report that Mr. Sherman did not
enter into an argument, as it would be a
reopening of the case with Japan, is not
correct, as the secretary's note is a very
full argument of the entire question in
yolved.
The Cattle Rangers' War. '
Denver, Aug. 21. A special to the
Republican from Silver City, N. M. says
The sheriff and posse this afternoon
arrested one of the two men who com
mitted the double killing in the western
portion of the county Thursday. He is
being guarded by the officers, but they
will not divulge his name until the other
man is captured. Both men are promi
nent in the cattle business. It is known
that the murders were the result of
cattle war which has been raging for
some we-ks past. The prisoner has not
been brought to town, but is being
guarded in camp on "Dry creek. The
capture of the other murderer is certain

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 space 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.
