Winter Has Set In on Chil

Victoria, B. C, Sept. 22. The
steamer Queen, which arrived this
morning, brought back eighty miners,
who decided to wait until spring before
proceeding to the Klondike. Winter
has set in in earnest at White and
Chilkoot passes, there being four feet of
snow on the summits, and ice is form
ing in the small streams.
Those who get over now have to go
by dog train, as horses are no longer any
use, and animals for which men re
fused $300 and $400 a few weeks ago can
be bought for $5. A large number of
men are going to Janeau to winter, but
many will come south and make fresh
starts in the epring.
A KEIM)EE1 EXPRESS.
GoTersmont May Establish One to the
Klondike.
Washington-, ept. 22. Secretary
Bliss, of the department of the interior,
has induced the commissioner of edu
cation to have the reindeer now at Teller
station, Alaska, which have been broken
to work, forwarded to St. Michaels, to
be held there for use in forwarding sup
plies to the Klondike country in case of
emergency. There are about eight of
the deer, which it is believed by the
administration can be utilized in this
way, 'and the opinion prevails that they
would be much more useful than dogs,
because they can travel more rapidly,
draw more, and can live on the little
forage the country produces.
The secretary says that each reindeer
will carry about 300 pounds, and will
travel a hundred miles a day. They are
to be sent to St. Michaels in preference
to other places, because of the avaiiable
stores at that point.
FOB USE IN THE KLONDIKE.
Colorado Man Invents a De-rice to Thaw
frozen Ground.
Denver, Sept. 22. A device to thaw
the drozen ground of the Klondike has
been invented by N. Parker Doe, of
Cripple Creek. A formal trial of the
machine was made yesterday and was
found to work like a charm, although
there was no frozen ground to try it on.
Six hundred machines will be ordered
at once and transported to the Klondike
in the spring.
A miner recently returned from Klon
dike has examined the machine and
says it is just what the miner in Alaska
needs. The scheme is to generate gas
in a tank, the gas passing to a blowpipe,
where, becoming ignited, it is forced out
in a fiame. It can be directed in any
position and cannot be blown out by
the wind.
WAR CLOl'D IS LOWERING.
The Country on the Verge of Connie
With Spain.
New York, Sept. 22. "This country
is on the verge of a war with Spain."
These are the words ot Assistant Sec
retary pt the Navy Roosevelt. He used
therxf at a conference of some of the
naval militia, whom he had summoned
to Washington to learn of the state of
their commands and the number of men
that can be depended upon to complete
the complement of the warships and the
auxiliary navy. Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt urged the gentlemen who had

been called into the conference not to
underestimate the gravity of the situa
tion. The navy department is preparing to
use every available man of the naval
militia. Commanders of the reserve
who have been called to Washington
during the last few days have had the
importance of getting their divisions in
such shape that a sudden call will find
them in readiness, impressed upon
them.
It is believed that at a conference at
the navy department within the last few
days the question was put as to how
many men the commanders of the New
York and Brooklyn battalion would un
dertake to report as available for three
months' war service. Commander
Slayton, of the Brooklyn battalion, is
reported to have answered that he
would guarantee 275 men out of his bat
talion. W.Butler Duncan, of the New
York battalion, estimates his number at
325.
The largest battalion in the country is
at San Francisco. Organizations on the
Pacific exist at San Diego, Los Angeles,
San Francisco Portland and Olympia.
The navy department's estimate is
that 30,000 men will be needed for the
twenty-five merchant cruisers. Of this
number 3000 will come from the regular
warships.
The significance of Roosevelt's re
mark, joined with the assemblage of mi
litia commanders at Washington and
the bunching of warships and man
euvers of the torpedo flotilla is very
great.

Hawaiian Senate Unanimously Ratified
the Xreaty.
San Francisco, Sept. 22. The steam
er City of Peking, which arrived in port
last evening and was at once placed in
quarantine, brought advices from the
Hawaiian islands up to and including
the 14th inst.
The senate convened September 8th,
but owing to the death of ex-Senator G.
Rhodes, president of the legislature, an
adjournment was taken to the following
day. The session lasted less than two
hours, but in that time the annexation
treaty was presented and retified with
out a dissenting vote.
Commenting upon the unprecedented
action of the upper chamber, the Loso,
the newspaper organ of the Portuguese
residents, of September 13th, said:
"The senate of the republic of Hawaii
has unanimously ratified the convention
which concedes Hawaii to the United
States, not only with all mercantile prop
erty of doubtful title, but also tying up
privileges which about 5000 voters of the
Portuguese colony enjoy and have en
joyed, and which can only be recovered
if the congress of the United States from
a sense of justice and equity shall con
cede to us the privileges to which we
have a right. The session was closed on
the 10th, and will be convened again
next March in regular session."
Despite the action of the senate, the
opponents of annexation are continuing
the fight, and the leaders of the move
ment express the utmost confidence in
their ability to defeat annexation. Be
fore the Peking left a call had been is
sued for an immediate mass meeting to
be held on the 18th, and the indications
were that it would be one of the largest
ever held in the islands. Some annexa
tionists hope to be able to have Senator
Morgan address the meeting, with the
object of changing the sentiment of the
natives, but there was little likelihood of
the plan meeting with success.
