FIFTY LiVESWERE LOST News of the Wreck of the Clara Nevada Confirmed. CAUSED BY BOILER EXPLOSION Nothing but Some Wreckage Bearing ' Name of the Illfated Ship Found , . Identity of Passengers Unknown. Nanaimo, B. C, Feb. 21. Aspeoial from Juneau, Alaska, under date of February 12, confirms the news of the loss of the Clara Nevada, and says: The cause of the disaster was doubt less the explosion of her boilers. Of 50 people on board none is believed to have been saved. The wreck was dis- covered ' by Customs Inspector '' Mar- quam, of Juneau, who ordered the . Rustler to Lynn canal, where tHe burn ing vessel had been seen. Wreckage . bearing the name of the ill-fated vessel was found, but there was nothing to show the identity of the passengers. . . It is thought' she carried about 20 passengers, "of whom two or three were , women. Several - were bound for' Ju neau ' and the balance for Seattle. , Frank .Whitney,, of Cripple Creek, Colo., was known to be one of the un fortunates. Al Noyes, of Juneau, is also supposed to have been on tht$ Ne ' vada. This is all that is known of the victims. ;. , ' The first report of the loss of the Clara Nevada was brought here on Monday evening, by the crew of the steamer Islander, and was to the effect that on February 5 the inhabitants of Seward City, a town 80 miles south of Skagway, saw, the steamer oft. shore, ablaze from stem to stern, and that while the witnesses to the awful sight still watched the burning vessel a loud report, as of an explosion of boilers, was heard, and that afterwards nothing more was seen of the vessel or the luck Jess persons on board of her, but that the following day the beaoh in that vicinity was strewn with wreckage. In the absenoe of details of the catas trophe there is now no way of learning ' the indentity of the passengers. The crew, according to a dispatch from Se attle, whence the steamer sailed on her . fatal voyage, was made up substantial My as follows: , Captain, C. II. Lewis, of Portland. Pilot, Ed Kelly. . . . First officer,- Smith. Second officer, Harry Bowen, of San Francisco. Purser, George Forster Beck, of Portland. Freight clerk, George Rogers. Chief Engineer, D.

MISS WILLARD DEAD. Founder of the W. C. T. TJ. Passed Away ln'New York. New York, Feb. 21. Miss Frances E. Willard, president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, died shortly after midnight this (Friday) ' morning, at the Hotel Empire, this city. At the bedside of Miss Willard . at' the timeof her death were her niece, Mrs. W. W.. Baldwin; Mrs. L. M. Stevens, vice-president of the W. C. T. U.; Miss Anna M. Gordon, Miss Wil lard 's secretary, and Dr. K. Hill. ' Miss Willard had beeh ill for three weeks. ' There will be funeral services in New York city, and later in Evans ton, 111., Miss Willard's home, whera the body will be taken. (Miss Franoes E. Willard, founder , and for four years president of the World's Woman's Christian Temper ance Union, and president of the Na tional Woman's Christian Temperance Union 12 years, was born September 28, 1839, at Churchville, N. Y. She was a graduate of the 'Northwestern university, Chicago. She took the de- ' gree of A. M. from Syracuse university. In 1862 she was professor of natural science at the Northwestern female col-, lege, Evanston, 111. In 1866-1867 she , was pteceptress of the Genesee Wesley an seminary, Lima, N. Y., and in 1868- :-1870 she traveled abroad, studying French, German, Italian and the his '. tory of fine arts, visited nearly every European capital, and went to Greece, Egypt and Palestine. In 1871 she was president of the woman's college . of Noth western university, and professor of aesthetics; she was elected corre- eponding secretary of the N. W. C. T. U. in -1871, and in 1877 was associated with D. L. Moody in revival work in Boston. She beoame president of the i Illinois W. G T. U. and .editor of the Chicago Daily Post in 1878, and in 1879 was chosen president of the National . Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which position she has .sinoe held. " Miss Willard was an author of much distinction, and .wrote a number of .books. ' ' ' r ' . Floods in i'alouse. ! Palonse; Feb. 21.

Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities of the World. ' In a newspaper interveiw Mr. Armour is quoted as saying that wheat will go to $1.50 if the Leither party do nothing but sit still. Assuming that the short interest-in May is as large as conieb- tured, it is impossilbe to eliminate that interest other than by delivering the wheat or buying it back from the clique. ' If the latter sit still on then long line it will - leave the shorts like rats in a trap. They plunge about, and one set of shorts may cover ofl another set, but the shortage will still remain. Mr. Leiter and his lieutenants are firm in their belief that wheat ought to go much higher on its merits, and as time goes on they are copflrmed in their prediction. Of course the great mass of traders believe that wheat is already too high, and that it never would have been selling1-at present prices but for the Leiter manipulation It must be conceded, however, that Leiter is now more strongly intrenched than at any other time since he began the deal. At one time he was deserted by his allies, they having sold out on him almost to a man. , The market reaoted about 4c on this selling, but it soon became stronger than ever, and the young speculator now has a firmer grip tn the situation than at any time since his famous campaign was begun. A good many able and experienced com mission men think he will ultimately come to grief, but as he has success fully overcome many seemingly insur mountable obstacles enoountered in the past six months, perhaps it is as well to concede that he is apparently not in need of a guardian and may worry through to the end as well as he has in the past. Even if he should drop a million or two the family would not be come objects of charity, and as it is the Leiter money that would be lost others need not sit up nights and bor row trouble over the impending cal amity.. As soon as it was known that Leiter had arranged to ship his wheat out of Chicago it was stated in our mar ket letter that this clearly outlined his policy, and it would be best for all concerned to govern themselves according- Ever since the market has been rushing upward, and there is no indi cation that it is anywhere near the top. In fact Leiter says it has just begun to advance. Though more than two months away the May deal is now as erratio as the December was near its culmination. , .

COOK INLET TO THE YUKON Need of a Railroad to the Interior of . Alaska. Among the many railroad schemes projected for the . Yukon and the in terior of Alaska this season, the one that is receiving careful consideration among promoters is a line from Cook Inlet over the glacier and down the Tanana river. -The subject is one that engages the attention of railroad men of the Coast Several surveying parties, it is report ed, will be sent early to the North for the purpose of ascertaining gs soon as ,pos8iDie tne most reasi Die route irom the coast to the interior. The Lake Teslin and Stickeen river route has re ceived a good deal of attention recently, and every move of the surveying par ties is plosely watched; by the Canadian Pacific. This road Will , certainly be among the first to penetrate the wilds of Alaska at the first favorable oppor tunity. ; It is not expected that any of the great transcontinental systems are contemplating an extension, but any traffic connection it. could form would, it is understood, be most welcome. It is not unilkely that if. an overland route to Dawson should ever become possible, the British road would be the first to offer its help in ' backing the project. - The Portland Telegram saysthat P. J. Stone, a prommently-known . man of the Northwest, who is now in Alaska, after looking over the situa tion oarefully, believes that it is quite practicable to get a line through to the river in American territory. The im portance of a railroad in developing the vast resouroes of the interior, increas ing the output of the mines, insuring an adequate food supply to the, miners 01 the xukon, and, incidentally, help, ing to make the entire country tribu tary to the Coast cities prosperous, is treated in a recent latter. As a route he suggests from Prince William sound to some point on . the Yukon, within Americoan - territory, and advises that the value of such a construction be im mediately brought to the attention of congress by memorial. 1 "What this oountry needs most is a railroad from some point on the Yukon, in American territory, to Prince William sound, on Cook inlet. Of course, I know, nothing about the country to be traversed by such a rail road, or the engineering difficulties that have to be encountered, but I think that it might be safely presumed that they are not of a serious charaoter. The.mountains in the northern por tion of this continent are so insignifi cant that the whole country may be considered one vast plain. The same may be said of the northern part of Asia and also of Europe, where I have traveled, explored and prospected, and it would seem ' strange, indeed, if the oountry between here and Cook inlet was an exception to every other part of the world in this high altitude. Besides, enough has been found out from actual observation to make it pretty oertain that there are no serious difficulties. There is sufficient tim ber along the line for all the purposes' of construction and operation, and the snowfall is not such as to seriously in terfere with railroad traffic, and to my mind a railroad is needed in this coun try more than was ever needec in the whole history of railroading throughout the world. 'This country possesses an abund ance iof what all the rest of the world needs, and all the rest of the world possesses in abundance what the people are sorely in need of here, that is, some thing to eat. There never wan a winter in this country when there was a suffi ciency of food, and this winter promises to be at least 100 per cent worse than any preceding one, and it is more than likely that . next winter will be still worse in this reelect. . "From what I can learn it seems im possible' that, the supply of food can keep pace with the increase of popula tion, and I cannot see how there can be any doubt but that a railroad over the route mentioned would be taxed to its full capacity, as the country produces nothing but gold, and all the necessary comforts and luxuries of life and any thing else that may be wanted must come from without. One of the results of the construction of such a railroad would be an enormous increase in the production of gold. " Not the Only Riches. .Unlesi" the Canadian government re peals its regulation of last fall, restrict ing the size of claims to 100 feet, there is not likely to be very much prospect ing on British territory this year. The miners regard a double claim to the dis coverer, and a 100-foot claim to eaoh subsequent locator as inadequate com pensation for the risks which they take in the Klondike oountry. , If the mis sion of the committee reoently sent to Ottawa with a petition for a modifica tion of the regulations proves unsuccess ful, there will be a big exodus of miners to American territory. As a result the vast area westward from the Alaska Northwest boundary to the Behring sea, northward to the Arctic- ocean, and southward to the Paoific, will be thor oughly prospected. The miners will be overlooking some rich British ground in the basins be tween the headwaters of the Klondike and the Maokenzie, and in the vicinity of the Big ' Salmon, the Stewart, the Pelly, and the Hootahnqua, but there is just as rich ground on the American side, and the more liberal American mining laws promise larger - results. Already, there are 1,800 men on Minook creek. Other Alaskan streams which will receive attentiorrtrom dis gruntled Klondikers are Birch creek, Tanana river, Koyakuk river, Copper-river,- Porcupine river, Koskokwim river .and their ' tributaries -and the streams flowing into Kotzebue sound, The advice of William Ogilvie, the Canadian surveyor, that miners who start over the passes between March 1 and 20 will reach Dawsoon as soon as those who start now, will be unheeded.
