W A S H IN G T O N NEW CAUGHT ON THE TRAIL Two SU FFERING Feet Cam ped of In Snow Flimsy IS INTENSE A l r e a d y —M i n e r s T e n t s —I c e Olk L a k e s B lock s F u rth er Travel Skaguuv, Alaska, Oot. 12.— Several parties are just in over the Dalton trail from Klondike, and all bring tlv- same story— scarcity of provisions ami i>08- sible hunger and starvation as the portion of many there this winter. The latest arrivals, James Clark and C. A. Brown, who have been mining on Birch creek, having left Dawson City September (1, poled up the river to 150 miles above Pelly river, and there bought horses and came In over the “ supiiosed” Dalton trail, making the trip in 26 days to Haines’ mission, get ting there on Sunday. They parsed tlie Thorp party on the summit with 100 head of cattle. Most of the party were discouraged and wanted to turn back. Brown and Clark told them they had gone through 100 m ilosof snow where no food could be got for their stock, and it would be utterly im possible to get their cattle through alive. Thorp had already lost 15 pack horses on the trail, ami part of his or iginal party had turned hack two days before, but he was stubborn and would not consent to turn back himself. About 25 persons came out over the Dalton trail in the past week, ami say there are a good many following them, all bringing the same rejiort, that there is no trail, that it is 417 miles long, that summits innumerable have to he crossed and streams forded, and that it is impossible to find your way without Indian guides. The largest party to come out together consisted of 11 per sons. An Indian • packer who lias just ar rived from Lake Lindemann reports that two feet of snow fell at Lakes Lindemunu and Bennett, and the dis tress and suffering there are intense. Most of the people ut the lakes live in tents, and many iiave made provision for getting away this season. They have not built cabins for themselves, and the Indian says that with so much Bnow on the ground, which w ill in all probability remain, there will be in tense suffering la-fore tlio people are housed in shacks or cabins. The win ter snows tinvo begun «> fall on the pass, and thero are yet hundreds of men scattered along the trail between Sheep camp and the lake. This is well known, traveling over the pass in one of those snow storms, which frequently lasts one or two weeks, is impossible, and when this fact is considered, it is easy to imagine the- awful condition which confronts the gold-seekers. There are grave fears that many will perish on the trail before they can reach Lake Lindemann. Late reports from the lake nro that ice is rapidly forming, and all indica tions (mint to an unusually early and severe winter.” Auf ttrullMii Min«» «>n F i r e . Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 12.— The Bteamer Mioweru, which arrived from Australia today, brings an account of tho fire in the Broken Mill mine on September 18. Between 6 and 7 o ’clock on that day, the shift bosses in block 18 discovered a portion of the underground workings to be aflame,and immediately gave the alarm. The un derground drives were found to be full of Bmoke, and for a long time tiie blaze oould not be locatoli. Volunteers were called for from the surface, ami, in charge of mine officers, they went be low, spending their energies to get at the seat of tho fire. Bags of sand, to gether with canvas and timber, were sent down several shafts to form block ades and confine the finmes. After a hard struggle the men were driven back by the flames, and when the Mion- went left tiie fire was still raging. F ifty men were overcome by smoke and ilieat, three succumbing to tiie injuries ■received. C ap tn ln W h i t e s i d e '« C iin v M B oat. Salem, Or., Oct. 8.— Chehalis today lowered the world’ s record 3% seconds for the two-mile pace at the state fair track, in the presence of 10,000 people. Chehalis, driven by his owner, Frank Frazier, appeared on the track with his full brother Del Norte, who has a record of 2:08. Both horses were loudly cheered. After scoring through the stretch a few times Del Norte with drew. After scoring once, Frazier an nounced that he was ready to start, and hundreds of wathces were held in readi ness to rceord his attempt to make a world’s record. Like a Hash the black stallion was down to the wire, and, almost before the spectators could realize it, was on his way, moving easily and proudly. A t the three-quarter i>ole the runner, Bonboiiniere, . ridden by Galbraith, jumped in, but the Oregon pacer needed no prompter. He reeled off the first mile in 2:01) flat. “ Toofast: he’ ll never make it ,” was on many tongues as the first mile was finished. But his well-wishers breathed easier when 8:14 was called at the mile and a half. Thirty-one seconds more saw him at the mile and three-quarters, and in the face of a strong southwwestern wind, he strode home gamely, creating a fresh record by passing under the wire in 4:19%. When the time was announced, amid prolonged cheers, Chehalis was crowned with wreaths of flowers, and led off the track, looking but little worse for his world-beating two-mile pace. Chehalis’ record by quarters was: First m i l e ............... ._0:82W 1:05U 1:87 2:09 Second m ile ............ .2:39 3 :H 8:45 4:19*4 The best previous time for the two- mile pace was made by W.

Berlin, Oct. 8.— The German govern ment has refused to recognize Mr. Ferdinand Neumann, of Illinois, who was nominated by President McKinley as United States consul at Cologne. The state department, it is said, never has received officially any charges against the appointee, though certain allegations were current that, if sup- ported, would have made his selection properly objectionable to the German government. Some of these are con- nected with the world’s fair, and a cer tain concert enterprise in which Neu- mann is said to have been interested, which resulted disastrously to some German artists. The action of the German government is final, as it is a well-recognized right of a nation to withhold an exequator at its pleasure. P e r u A d o p t « the G o ld Stan dard. New York, Oct. 8.— A dispatch to the Herald from Lima, Peru, says: After a discussion which conitnued for several days, tiie chamber of deputies of Peru adopted tho gold standard by a majority of one vote. The plan for a gold standard was sent to the chamber some time ago, after it had been ap proved by tiie president and cabinet. The cabinet believed this was tho only possible solution to the financial troubles which beset Peru on every side. There was a long fight over tiie question in the chamber, the govern ment supporters arraying themselves unanimously in favor of the gold stand ard. The narrow margin of their vic tory shows how persistently the ques tion was contested. K ell W it h » L a m p . Red Bluff, Cal., Oct. 8.— Mrs. C.
