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-

portion of many there this winter.

150 miles above Pelly river, and there

“ 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.”

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.

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

in 4:22%.

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.

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.
