Poet Towxsbsd, Sept. 30. Captain
dinger, of the tug Holyoke, which left
St. Michaels September 11th, says:
"I judge there were from 350 to 400
men at St. Michaels while we were there.
All were cheerful. There were none -I
ran across who asked for passage with
me. I did not see any miners from
Klondike at St. Michaels, and do not be
lieve there were any there, for no steam
er had come down lately, though one
was expected any day. 'It was cold and
hailing while we were there, and snow
fell the day after we left."
The Alaska Commercial Company's
eteamer Bertha brought to Unalaska
news from St. Michaels up to the 13th
inst. There were over 100 men on the
Upper Yukon waiting to come down on
the Portland, and according to sailor
gossip, they had "all kinds of gold."
But the officers of the Grant say that ac
cording to their best information no vast
amount of treasure will -be brought
down.
A Canadian Railway Scheme.
Nkw York, Sept. 30. A dispatch from
Montreal says :
Application will be made Tto'the do
minion parliament next session for a bill
to incorporate a company for the pur
pose of constructing an operating a rail
way from a point near the head of Chil
koot inlet, on the Lynn canal, to the
rapids on the Yukon river, following as
closely as practicable Dalton's trail, with
power to construct and operate branch
lines, bridges, wharveB, telegraph and
telephone lines, steamboats and other
craft on the lakes and tributaries of
the Yukon river. The promoters are a
syndicate of wealthy men.
Latest reports received at Ottawa of
the progress of the Crow's Nest pass
railway construction are to the effect
that work on the first 100 miles is very
far advanced, and that there is no quea
but the company will be able to realize
its purpose of completing this section be
fore the close of the present season.
New Hotel for Dawson.

Wolfe has had donated to him by Joseph
Ladue, the bonanza king of the Klon
dike, a half block of ground in Dawson,
apon which he intends to erect a mam
moth hotel. His partners in this enter

Wolfe has made arrangements with P. D.
Armour for every thfng needed in the
provision line.
Mr. Wolfe will be remembered as the

McLean Not In the Race.
Columbus, O., Sept. 30. John E. Mc
Lean, bis nearest friends declare, is not
a candidate for the United States senate.
Mr. McLean has held a conference with
the state committee, and his friends say
he spoke as follows :
"I am not a candidate for the United
States senate. I am merely a good
Democrat, and wish to see the Demo
cratic state and legislative ticket success
ful. In the event that the legislature is
Democratic, I hope to see some good
Cured by
"Happy Thought"
Salve.
"I was troubled with an Eczema or
eruption on the hands for two years. I
spent quite a sum of money without get
ting a cure. Then I commenced using
Garland's Happy Thought 8alve. I have
used six or eight jars, and am cured. It
is a great medicine, and I can fully rec
ommend it to anyone troubled with skin
disease." J. M. E. ATKINSON,

Democrat elected to represent the state
in the United states senate. I believe
General Warner is a good man for the
place. For that matter there are half a
dozen men in the state who are as well
known and as able as General Warner.
I would be glad to see any of - them
elected."
STRIKERS (VIDIiE THE AGRESSORS.
A Conflict at tbe Miues Near Ed wards
ille, Illinois.
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 30. Early today
the miners in the employ of the Madi
son Coal Company at Edwardsville, 111.,
while going to work were attacked by
strikers, including thirty or more women
sympathizers. ' Tbe strikers threw
stones and red fpepper and beat their
opponents with clubs. "Scotty McAlli
son had his skull crushed, and numer
ous others were cut and bruised.
The miners fought as best they could
with their tin dinner pails, and were
finally allowed to go to work. After the
attack the strikers and women formed
in line and marched through the streets
of Edwardsville shouting and singing.
No arrests were made.
The strikers, more than 300, with the
women, far outnumbered the workers,
who were guarded by a force of deputy
sheriffs on the way to tbe mine. T. W.
McCune, a deputy sheriff, in the escort
ing posse, was disarmed and dragged to
one side, where a crowd of irate strikers
beat hi.u until he was almost uncon
scious. Though heavily armed the
sheriff's officers took their drubbing
without making any attempt to use
their arms. They were outnumbered
ten to one, but they fought with their
fist8.
Had a shot been fired the consequences
would have been fearful, as the strikers
were frenzied.
SlOO Reward SIOO.
Tlie readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cnre is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building np the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fa? Is to cure.' Send for list of
testimonials. Address :

CONCESSION MAY CAUSE TROCBLI.
Franchise Said to Have Been Oranted
By Nicaragua.
Washington,, Sept. 30. The report
that a bill has been passed by the con
gress of Nicaragua granting a thirty-year
franchise to the Altas Steamship. -Company,
of London, for the exclusive steam
navigation of the Bio San Jnan del Norte
with authority to deepen the channel at
various points and also to construct a
railroad from Lake Silica to tbe river,
cannot be officially confirmed here.
If the Nicaragna congress has granted
a concession to tbe Atlas Company, that
action may arouse quite a diplomatic
discussion between representatives of
the Greater Republic of Costa Rica and
the United States.
Tne solution of the complications into
which the three governments are drift
ing may be a treaty between the. United
States and the Greater Republic for the
completion of the Nicaragua canal by
this government.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous be took
immediate steps to bring about a speedy
care. From tbe advertisement of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it 'was satisfac
tory in its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and
the result was a epeedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recom
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
to anyone afflicted with a congb or cold
in any form. The Banner of Liberty,

Floods in Salton Basin.
Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 30. A dispatch
from Tucson says passengers who came
in on tbe belated California trains, state
the cause of the delay as being floods in
the Salton basin. The rumored belief is
that tbe waters of the Gnlf of Califor
nia had broken over the sandbar which
separates the gulf from tbe basin. If
this should prove to be true, Southern
California will have the largest inland
sea on the continent, in some places
more than 300 feet deep, and Arizona
would come up through the gulf to a
point opposite Yuma.
In the' meantime many miles of the
Southern Pacific would be submerged..
Bear to Convoy tne Portland.
Port Town-send, Sept. 30. According
to Captain Munger, of the cutler Grant,
it is the Bear and not the Corwin that
will guard from desperate persons the
nuggets that the steamer Portland is to
bring from St. Michaels. Orders from
Captain Tuttle to act as a policeman of
the seas were taken to him by the Cor
win, which left Unalaska tbe same day
the Grant started for this port, Septem
ber 19th.
