DAWSON CITY OURS
Government Officials Claim
the Camp.
PART OF THE DISTRICT IX ALASKA
Strong Efforts to 15 e Made to Reclaim
It International Complica
tions May Follow.
Port Townsend, Sept. 2. A letter
jnst received from John U. Smith,
United States commissioner at Dyea
and f?kaguay, intimates that govern
ment officials now on the way to the
Upper Yukon may by their official acts
bring on serious international complica
tions with the Dominion government.
He says :
"It is announced here by a deputy
United States marshal that the United
States government is to make claim for
a large portion of the Yukon gold fields
which have heretofore been supposed to
be in British territory, and that the ter
ritory which is claimed as being within
Alaska includes Dawson City. .
"The basis of the claim to be made by
the United States officials to the disput
ed territory is in the fact that the
boundary line has never been determin
ed, and that the United States authori
ties claim to possess information as to
surveys made by the .Canadian govern
ment that fixes Dawson City and a large
portion of the district in Alaska."
WOULD TAKE THE CANAL.
Japan Has Designs Upon the Nicaragua
Waterway.
New York, Sept. 2. A special to the
Herald from Washington, says:
Japan, not content with an interfer
ence in President McKinley'e Hawaiian
annexation policy, now has designs upon
the Nicaragua canal. According to
semi-official 'advices just received here
from Nicaragua, the Japanese govern
ment is secretly negotiating with the
diet of the Greater Republic of Central
America, which recently met in Salva
dor, for the construction of the Nicaragua
canal, independently and in defiance of
the interests of the United States or
other nations.
This action of Japan, taken in connec
tion with her recent attitude in regard
to Hawaiian annexation is one of the
greatest significance, showing as It does
to the anthorities that there is no limit
to the ambition of the nation, and that
her aggressive policy may yet get her
into trouble with the United States.
That the administration will resent any
interference with the Nicaragua canal
project as it did in the case of the Ha
waiian annexation treaty, goes without
eaying.
If Japan can encompass It, according
to the Nicaraguan advices received here,
she would like to obtain the abrogation
of all treaty rights possessed by the
United States in relation to interoceanic
transit and the forfeiture of the Ameri
can canal concessions from Nicaragua,
and to immediately make a treaty with
the diet of the Greater Republic of Cen
tral America giving her control of the
route through Nicaragua.
In the negotiations Costa Rica has not
been consulted, it being well known that
she would not assent to a violation of a
treaty right. It has been suspected in
some quarters that England, which has
always been anxious to acquire at least
a joint control of the canal, might be
working in collusion with Japan in the
"dickering" with the diet now under
stood to be in progress, but nothing has
yet come to the surface to indicate that
she has encouraged Japan in the move.
It is said that the agent of the Nic-
"My Ears
were badiv sunburned. I nsed Gar
land's Happy Thought Salve, and it
cured them in short order."
Edwin Terrell, Sunnydale, Wash.
"It is a grand thing for sunburn and
tan. I never used anything better."
Mrs. Potts, Taconia, Wash.
"One jar of Garland's Happy Thought
Salve cured me entirely of the severest
case of sunburn I ever had. I have re
commended it to my friends, who hava
all been benefited by it."

Benton Ave.. Seattle, Wash.

aragua canal here has laid the facts be
fore Mr. Hitchcock, president of the
canal company in New York, with the
suggestion that the department be ap
prised of tbe secret negotiations that are
now being carried on between Japan
and the diet. ,
Senor Zelaya, the president of Nic
aragua, it is understood, has admitted to
close personal friends that Japan is now
negotiating with the diet, but in each
case he advised the strictest secrecy.
A private letter just received in this
city from Nicaragua says :
"Among Americans in Central America
the belief is general that the Greater
Republic of Central America, which is
represented in diplomatic affairs by a
diet composed of three members, one
each from Nicaragua, Salvador and Hon
duras, was organized principally in order
thai Nicaragua might absolve herself
from individual responsibility as a na
tion, and thereby abrogate her inter
oceanic transit treaty with the United
States. The so-called Greater Republic,
resenting the failure of the United States
to recognize the Greater Republic (re
ceiving Senor Rodriguez) and in failing
to accredit a United States minister to
the Greater Republic, is likely to make
a treaty with Japan, granting her a
concession for the construction of the
canal.
"The United States minister here be
lieves that when this news reaches
Washington the state department will
send a note to Japan asking if she is
seeking to interfere with our treaty
rights in the premises. Tbe Americans
in Nicaragua believe that the United
States government will insist that her
interoceanic treaties with Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, Honduras and Colombia are
yet in force, although the diet claims
that Nicaragua and Honduras are no
longer separate and individual nations
and are therefore irresponsible."
Although state department officials
will not admit that any official news haB
come to confirm the private advices,
there are reasons for believing that the
authorities have been watching Japan's
movements in Central America with
more or less suspicion for some time
past.
The Leutgert Trial.
Chicago, Sept. 2. In the Luetgert
trial this morning Frank Orafsky, the
smokehouse man at Luetgert'a factory
was examined briefly by the attorney
for the plan tiff and turned over to the
defense. He was subjected to ' severe
questioning, with the object of showing
that there were discrepancies between
bis testimony of yesterday and that
given at Luetgert'a preliminary hear
ing.
Frank Sewandowksi, another employe
of the factory, was examined.' His tea
timony wa6 mainly corroborative of
Orafsky's.
Gordon B. Clark, salesman for Lord,
Owen & Co., wholesale druggists, testi
fied that in March last Luetgert pur
chased of that firm a barrel of caustic
potash and 50 pounds of arsenic. George
Nelson, a shipping clerk for the drug
firm, corroborated the testimony of
Clark. - -
Strikers Are Qalet Today.
Pittsbtjbg, Sept. 2. Everything was
quiet about the striking miners' camp in
the De Armitt mine region, tbe campers
having decided to take things easy pend
ing definite news from Columbus in re
gard to "the settlement, of the strike.
The tendency of thQ camp' seems to be
to resist any settlement except on an
unqualified 69-cent basis.
THE ANNEXATION TREATY.
Davis Says It Will Be Ratified When
the Senate" Meets.
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 2. C. K.
Davis, chairman of the foreign relations
committee, was today asked for an ex
pression regarding the Hawaiian ad
vices to the Associated Press in regard
to tbe annexation treaty. He dismissed
the matter briefly, saying :
"There is no question in mind about
tbe truth of the first statement that
Hawaii may at once ratify the treaty.
Why not? ' The senate can get together
and they can readily dispose of the
treaty. As to the statement that the
United States congress would be called
to meet two months in advance of the
usual date, there it no truth in it. The
treaty will be ratified by our senate
when taken up by that body."
Operators and Miners Confer,
Columbus, Sept 2. Representative
coal operators and the coal miners' ex
ecutive committee met today behind
closed doors.' The miners' officials de
clined to foreshadow any proposed move
ment in case of refusal to accept thy
operators' proposition to open the mines
at 64 cents per ton pending arbitration.
They were willing to talk of general con
ditions and nothing else, except that
they want an agreement today, if any,
to hold good for a year. Oa the other
hand the operators feel very hopeful.
The miners' officials at 11 :20 held a
secret conference and adjourned to hold
a joint secret conference with a special
committee of operators, representing all
the operators of Pittsburg.
Two Perished of Thirst.
Hackuekry, Ariz., Sept. 2. During
the latter part of last week four men
who had been working at White hills,
fifty miles north of here, left camp and
started toward Nevada. They had been
on a protracted spree, and when they
left camp it was night, and they took no
water. Yesterday they were found ten
miles from the river, two of them dead.
The others were nearly dead, but may
recover. Jara Magnire, a blacksmith,
and an unknown man are dead.
Their tongues are swollen and cracked
and showed the marks of indescribable
suffering. James Rogers and P. Golds-
worthy were found nearly dead, but
were carried to a settlement, where they
may recover.
Tars Attacked by the tiold Fever.
Santa Rosa, Cal., Sept. 2. A letter
has been received by Deputy Postmaster
Griggs from his son, Joseph, who is a
member of the crew of the United States
gunboat Concord. The letter is dated
Juneau, August 25, and gives details
of tbe desertions of 45 men from the
Concord during its cruise in Alaskan
waters. It says :
"Some of the boys got the gold fever
and ran away, but were brought back,
and are now in double irons. The ship
lost 45 good seamen, but if they are fools
enough to go and starve this winter they
are not fit for the ship." .
