All Moat Walt Until the Trail Is Com
pleted Before Star tins; for

Seattle, Wash.. Aug. 23. The steam
er Rosalie arrived here this morning
from Dyea and Skaguay. She reports
that there are about 4000 people at Ska
guay, and that the trail is etill impass
able. About 900 miners are working
upon it, and it is expected that it will
be ready in a few weeks. Not over 20
men have crossed over it in the last
three weeks.
At Dyea the miners are getting across
as rapidly as could be expected.

COMPEL TUB BACHELORS TO WED
Charlotte Smith's Scheme
to Hikt
Times Better
New York, Aug. 23. Charlotte Smith,
president of the Women's Rescue
League, called on the Central Labor
Union to explain her new scheme for
compelling marriageable bachelors to
marry.- fche was too late to get the floor,
bat she button-holed several of the dele
gates. She said she had statistics to show
that there was an intimate connection
between her scheme and the labor ques
tion. The great com petion of women in
the field of labor, she held, was because
60 per cent of the men refused to marry.
She said she was going to Boston to
start a campaign against- the Republi
can and Democratic candidates for
mayor there, because both of them are
bachelors. She did not believe that a
bachelor ought to hold an elective office,
because no man could possibly act on
questions of public morality unless he
was married.
She was preparing a pamphlet npon
her scheme, and intended to show that
if bachelors were compelled to marry
and the army of unmarried women were
to become housewives and mothers,
wages would go up. Even if all the
bachelors in Greater New York were to
marry there would be still 100,000
women without husbands. It is re
ported from Boston that Mr, Curtis, the
Republican candidate for mayor of that
city, has already announced his engage
m'ent to a young woman.
OPERATORS NOT AGREED.
Many Are in Favor of Granting Strikers'
Demands.
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 23. The confer
ence between the miners' officials and
the executive committee of the coal op
erators met this morning. The miners
were represented by National President
Raicbford, District President Dolan and
Secretary Warner. The operators' com
mittee was composed of J. C. Dysart, G
W. Schuldenburg, J. N. O'Neil, J. B.
Zerb, F. M. Osborne, TJ. A. Andrews,
W P. Bonte and W. P. Rend.
Previous to the conference a large
Dumber of operators congregated in the
corridors of the Monongahela house.
There was much dissatisfaction among
them. Many were opposed to breaking
the strike by importing men, and quite
a large number urged the acceptance of
the miners' terms.
The conference ended at noon, after
an agreement had been made for a gen
eral conference of operators and miners'
officials at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

said he wanted it distinctly understood
he had never been asked by the opera
tors to confer with them.
"The statement," said he, "that I had
refused a conference is not correct. I
am here now at the request of Dalan.
We will only agree to the operators'
proposition if they will pay 69 cents.
That is the lowest rate the miners will
accept. - It must be 69 cents or the
strike will be continued until the de
mands are granted." '
WILL. BRING PROSPERITY.
President McKLlnley Says the Boom Has
Come to Stay.
New Yohk, Ang. 23. A dispatch to
the Journal from Hotel Cbamplain, it.
Y., says:
President McKinley stated to a Journ
al representative that it should be a
source of pleasure to every American
citizen to known tnat tnere was a re
turn of prosperity to the country.
"The cause of the present boom in the
West," he said, is undoubtedly due in a
great measure to the large crops and
high prices caused by the failure of crops
in other countries. But .the fact " that
prosperity has set in in the East cannot
be accounted for in any other way than
by the wise policy of the Republican
party in restoring a protective tariff. '
."The present boom is not spasmodic;
it will continue to increase, and not only
the manufacturers, but dealers generally
will soon recognize that with a protec
tive tariff and sound principles, the
country will be prosperous and remain
in that condition. With the restoration
of confidence will come a restoration of
prosperity."
Only a Newspaper Fane.
Chicago, Aug. 23. Miss Cora M
Black, of Los Angeles, who is visiting in
this city, explodes the story about the
reported mountain of gold in the island
of Metlakahtla, off the coast of Alaska,
The island is the property of a tribe of
Indians, having been given them a few
years age Dy tne government as a
reservation. Through the missionary
endeavors of a Mr. Duncan, who have
embraced Christianity, and have become
an industrious, sober and thrifty lot of
people.
Miss Black, who has visited the island
and been all over it, says the story of
the mountain of gold is absurd, and
there is nothing to it.

morency, of Seattle, is here on a novel

load of handsome young Boston girls to
Alaska about 200 of them, he expects
In an interview he said s
"My main object is to get a good

TBE MARKET WAS ERRATIC.
Wheat Fluctuated Wildly
in Eastern
-Cities Today.
Chicago, Ang. 23. The -curb quota
tion for September wheat' today was
$1.02, an advance of three cents over
Saturday's close. At the same time
334 was bid for corn, 2 cents over Satur
day's close. The news all pointed to an
exceedingly lively day's session in all
the grain pits. Liverpool's opening
wheat advance this morning was equal
to 54 cents per bushel.
A noteworthy fact was that of the
world's wheat -.shipments last week,
7,210,000 bushels ; 5,218,000 bushels were
contributed by America. The usual
Monday morning crop reports were al
most uniformly bad.
All the buoyancy was out of wheat
when the opening bell rang on the regu
lar board. . The highest price touched in
the initial trading was 99) cents for
September, the exact quotation at which
the market closed Saturday. Simul
taneous sales at the opening were all the
way down a cent lower to 98 cents for
September, and a few minutes later
sales were being recorded at 97 and even
at 96 cents. Enormous quantities of
wheat were for sale from every direc
tion. It was hard to sell, buyers being
relatively very scarce. The lowest point
reached was 95 cents for September, a
plunge of 7 cents from the high point
on the curb.
Corn sympathized with the slump in
wheat, and the first regular trading was
at 33, and all the way down to 32 for
September, as compared with 33 on
the curb.
After the opening rush to sell, there
was some recovery and at 10 a. m. Sep
tember wheat was back to 98 cents, and
gradually worked up to 99 cents, bat
at 11 o'clock declined again to 972
cents.
The New York Market.
New Yobk, Ang. 23. Wheat had an
other sensational opening today, but less
one-sided than of late. he bulls were
startled to find heavy selling orders from
foreign and other sources, which broke
prices during the first half hour about 4
cents abushel from the highest curb
price of Saturday. December opened at
104, broke to 101 under vigorous sell
ing pressure, and then rebounded vio
lently to 104, later weakening to 103j.

The La Rol Company's Smelter.
Vancouver, B. C, Aug 22. In an in
terview at Kaelo, President Turner, of
the Le Roi Company, Btated that should
the Dominion government impose an ex
port duty on ore, the company would
probably conduct the Northport smelter,
as a customs smelter, getting ores from
Stevens county and the Colville reser
vation mines. The might also, in that
case, erect another smelter on the Ca
nadian side of the boundary line.
Mineowners at Sandon, in the Slocan
country, claim that even if silver falls
to 40 cents, they can still operate their
mines at a profit. '
The Trail smelter is putting in a silver
lead smelting plant in order to treat Slo
can ores.

Quincy, Bal., Aug. 23. The report
which came from the vicinitv of the
Thistle shaft that "Lucky Antone," an
Italian, had made a $10,000 strike in

Btagedriver, who also brings the news
that Charles Fish, who has a gravel
claim at the junction of Nelson creek
and Feather river, took $3000 from his
claim last week. Nelson creek is consid
ered the richest stream in Plumas
county and many paying: claimB are lo
cated along its banks and bed. ,
