Illi Sill CM UK Canada Decides to Dispose of Mining Lands. ARE LOCATED KLONDIKE IN Thoie Properties Not Purchased Will He Thrown Open tor After List Is Published. Relocation Seattle, Oct. 11.—Advices from Da wson, dated September 25, state that the sale of the crown claims in the Klondike country was to begin Octo ber 2 and last for several weeks, and to begin aagin November 2. The gold commissioner of the district estimates the number of claims to be sold at be tween 5,0U0 an<l 10,000. Men were at work all the latter part of Septem ber ascertaining the exact number. To do this the titles of all the claims in the district, about 20,000, had to be looked up. The claims are nearly all creeks and old timers at Dawson be lieve that many of them are rich. All the claims that the public will not purchase will be thrown open for relocation 80 days after the list is pub lished. No one knows much about the claims, as to whether they are rich or uot, but it is believed that some have thousands, and perhaps millions, hid in them. The News in Dawson. Victoria, B. C., Oct. 11.—News that the Dominion government has decided to offer for sale all government claims in the Klondike, has been leceived with much joy in Dawson, as it means the development of some of the best property in the Yukon valley. The claims to be offered included all the al ternate claims that have reverted to the crown from various causes. It is estimated that there are between 8,000 and 10,000 such claims in the Klon dike. LOST IN THE DESERT. ARTILLERY Major RtO RGANIZATION. Story Bay« That the Need Is More Men. Washington, Oct. 12.—Accompany ing the report of Major-General Brooke, commander of the department of the east, to the war department, was a re port by Major Story, Seventh artillery inspector. Major Story states that the personnel of the artillery is mani festly inadequate to serve the arma ment already mounted, and he believes there is such general recognition of this fact that there will be an increase in artillery forces at the coming session oi congress. "It should be remarked in this con nection." he says, “that the enlisted force required for one relief to 6erve the modern coast armament in this military department is estimated at 15,010 men. On the 13th of last JunC the enlisted strength of the heavy bat teries in the department amounted to only 4,983 men, and of these quite a number of artillery soldiers are requir ed by the exigencies of the service to garrison posts which are not properly artillery stations. "It may also be stated that with the •xception of the artillery school r Fort Monroe, Va., there is not in an. important harbor in the United States even the minimum number of officers and men required by the coast artillery regulations for the service of modern armament fire, control and direction.’’ Major Story comments upon the ar tillery reorganization bill now pending in congress, and says it is a serious de fect of the measure that it does not supply sufficient officers for staff ad- ministiation. "The number of officers now absent from their batteries,” he says, "is probably in excess of 40 per cent, and there is no prospect in the near future of improvement in this respect. If the bill passes in its present form this un fortunate condition will be aggravated, since officers must be withdrawn from the batteries for staff administration. It is, therefore, earnestly recommended that the artillery be put upon the same basis as infantry or cavalry in provid ing officers for staff work.” STRIKERS IN A RIOT. Escape of Binger Hermann*! Brother and Two Others. The Second Serious Affray in the An thracite Region. Chicago, Oct. 11.—A dispatch to the Chronicle from Phoenix, Ariz. says: I. B. Hanna, cousin of Mark Hanna, superintendent of forest reserves for Arizona and New Mexico; A. F. Her mann, brother ot Land Commissioner Binger Hermann, and W. E. Price, had a thrilling experience and almost lost their lives on the desert between the grand canyon of-the Colorado and the Utah state line. When within 40 miles of Lee’s Ferry they camped for the night and their horses escaped. Pierce was lost from the party and after journeying over burning sands all day. Hanna was so exhausted that he •«cotrld uot proceed. Hermann contin ued his search for water, which he dis covered five miles further on. He re turned with water to Hanna who was unconscious and almost dead. The following day a cowboy discovered xHanna and Hermann wandering aim lessly about the desert and directed them to their destinaiton. A search ing party later found Pierce, frantic with thirst. The three men were taken to Flagstaff Monday. Hazleton, Pa., Oct. 12.—A special policeman was killed, another was wounded in the head, a striker was probably fatally shot and 10 nonunion men were more or less seriously wound ed at the Oneida colliery, of Coxe Brothers, in a clash between the offi cers and 500 strikers this morning. The dead policeman is Ralph Mills, aged 50 years, of Beaver Meadow, who was one of the officers conveyed in a special train early this morning tros.-. that place to Oneida. He was shot through the back. Those seriously wounded are: George Kellnor, aged 38, of Beaver Meadow, also a special officer, received shot wounds in the head, but will recovei; Joseph Lekow, aged 88, of Sheppton, a striker, shot in the groin and will probably die. Ten nonunion men were stoned, but only two of them were seriously in jured. They are John Van Blargin and Janies Tosh, of Sheppton. The former sustained scalp wounds, and the latter had four ribs broken. The Oneida colliery had been in operation since the inauguration of the strike. The union men at Oneida and Sheppton decided early this morning to close the mine. They gathered in groups on the streets as early as 3 o’clock. As the nonunion men went to work they were asked by the strikers to remain at home. Some turned back, others did not. Those who went to the colliery were stoned. Van Blar gin, one of the nonunion employes, at tempted to draw a revolver, but the weapon was taken from him and he re ceived a beating. This occurred just before starting time at the mine. The strikers remained at the colliery all morning. Narrow CONGER HAS A LIST. More High Chinewe Officials Marked fox Punishment. Washington, Oct. 11.—The cabinet meeting today, which occupied about two and a half hours, was devoted al most exclusively to a discussion of the Chinese situation. Special considera tion was given to the French note, and it is understood that a more or less de finite conclusion was reached as to the nature of this government’s reply, but it has not yet been put in diplomatic form. Its purport will not be made public for the present. It developed today that Mr. Conger, in compliance with a suggestion from Secretary Hay, had submitted to the state department a list of 10 or 12 names of Chinese officials who were prominent in the Boxer movement aginst the foreigners and in a great measure were responsible for the as saults upon the legations in Pekin. These officials, Mr. Conger believes, should be included with Prince Tuan and others in any punishments which are to be inflicted upon those who took a prominent partin the Pekin outrages. It is not unlikey that the position of this government in regard to the pun ishment of these officials will be stated in reply to the French note. Actor Instantly Killed. Huntington, W. Va., Oct. 9. — W. J. McCauley, of Philadelphia, an actol playing with ‘‘A Woman in the Case" eompany, was killed today by Pearl Newman. McCauley and three friends had entered a restaurant and were talking to Miss Dorsey Brown, when Newman opened fire, killing McCauley instantly. Newman escaped to Ohio. Major Seldon N. Clark Dead. Washington, Oct. 11.—Major Sei- don Noves Clark, a widely known newspaper man, who had been con nected with the Washington bureau of the New York Trioune for 22 years, died here today of heart failure. He was an authority on political and econ omic questions. Plague in India. London. Oct. 11. — "Bubonic plague,’’ sava a diepat 'h to the Daily Mail from Bombay, "is Incoming epi demic in many districts of the Bombay presidency. Alarming increases are reported from Poona and Belmanm, while the coast ports are infected. The cotton crop has withered in Aheme- dagar and Bijapur districts in conse quence of the drought.” Kruger relics have been sold at ano- tion in London. AGUINALDO’S Greatest Japan Turin to Ru««ia. Yokohama, Oct. 12.—The tone ol public sentiment in Japan, while it partakes of the general bewilderment arising from the muddle in China, in dicates quite plainly that there is a decided tendency toward joining hands with Russia, should this empire’s nat ural allies. Great Britain and America, turn the cold shoulder to her. At the same time it is perfectly well known here that Russia's hopes are centering in an ultimate alliance with Japan— and it may be that the latter, if the Western friends forsake her, will turn to her semi-Asiaic neighbor as the only resource for the settlement of the East ern problem. That it will be a dis agreeable and unwelcome recourse goes without saying. The result of the Chinese campaign and the facilities for comparison between the soldiers of the different nationalities, which it hai afforded, has been to awaken a pro found contempt for Russian soldiery on the part of the Japanese. A Three Day»' Fight. London, Oct. 11.—The Times pub lishes the following dispatch from Vredefort, Orange River Colony: ‘‘The British column had a three days’ fight, from October 5 to 7, with General De wet's commando of 1,000 men and five guns. It took place in a veritable sea of mountains near here. The Boers were dislodged and dispersed, and they fled demoralized. The British casual ties were slight." Jerome, Ariz., Oct. 12.—Miners em ployed on ths 500-foot level of the United Vedre copper mine noticed ear ly this morning the ground giving way over their heads. The alarm was immediately given, and in a short time the 300 men employed in the mine were taken to the surface without in jury. At 8 o’lcock this morning the sink had extended in succession to the various levels of the mine until the top was reached, the sunken ground showing that about 300 feet square bad been affected. Sixto Lopes Accept in Part the French Proposition. THREE RESERVATIONS MADE As to Permanent Legation Guard, the Din nantling of the Forts and Hold ing of Road to Fekin. Washington, Oct. 13.—The reply of the state dpeartment to the French note, relative to the basis of Chinese negotiations, was made public today. It reads as follows: "The secretary of state to the French charge d’Affairs. Sent to Mr. This- haut, October 12, 1900. Memoran dum: "The government of the United States agrees with that of France in recognizing as the object to be obtain ed from the government of China ap propriate reparation for the past and substantial guarantees for the future. “The president is glad to perceive in the basis of negotiations put forward in the memorandum of October 4 the spirit that has animated the declara tions heretofore made by all the poi< ers interested and would be pleased to see the negotiations begun immediately upon the usual verification of creden tials. "It may be convenient to enumerate the clauses of the mem ora nd urn and to add some observations dictated by the attitude of the United States in the present circumstances: “First—The punishment of the guilty parties who may be designated by the representatives of the powers at Pekin. The Chinese government has already indicated its intention to pun ish a number of those responsible for the recent disorders. The representa tives of the powers at Pekin may sug gest additions to that list when nego tiations are entered. "Second—The continuance of the in terdiction against the importation of arms. It is not understood that this interdiction is to be permanent and the duration of it and the details of its reg ulation seem a proper subject of dis cussion by the negotiators. "Third—Equitable indemnities for the governments, corporations and pri vate individuals. This is an object desired by all the powers. The Rus sian government has suggested that in case of protracted divergence of views this matter might be commended to the consideration of the international court of arbitration of The Hague. The president thinks this suggestion worthy the attention of the powers. “Fourth—The organization in Pekin of a permanent guard for the legations. The government of the United States is unable to make any permanent en gagement of this nature without the authorization of the legislative branch, but in the present emergency we have stationed in Pekin an adequate lega tion guard, "Fifth—The dismantling of the forts at Taku. The president reserves the expression of his opinion as to this measure pending the receipt of further information in regard to the situation in China. "Sixth—The military occupation of two or three points on the road from Tien Tsin to Pekin. The same obser vation which has been made in refer ence to No. 4 applies also to this proi>o- sition. The president is unable to commit the Suited States to a perma nent participation in such occupation, but he thinks it desirable that the flow ers shall obtain from the Chinese gov ernment the assurance of their right to guard their legation in Pekin and to have the means of unrestricted access to them whenever required. "The president believes that the gov ernment of France and the other pow ers will see in the reservations we have here made no obstacle to the initiation of negotiations on the lines suggested and he hopes it will be fourni practica ble to begin such negotiations at an early date. "Department of State, Washington, October 12, 1900." The American answer to the French □ote has given a satisfactory turn to the Chinese negotiations and were it not for the reports of military activity in China on the part of some of the powers the outlook would be excellent for a speedy opening ol the long de ferred peace negotiations. In commu nicating the memorandum to M. Thie- baut, Secretary Hay added his personal congratulations on the course of the French government, which he looks upon as the initiation of a satisfactory solution of thé Chinese problem. Situation Is Critical. Berlin, Oct. 13.—Accoiding toa dis patch received by the German navy league, the situation in South China is exceedingly critical. The dispatch says that Chang Weih Hong, whe ad vised the empress dowager to enroll the Boxers in the army, has been apfioint- ed governor of the new Chinese capital, Sinan Fu. It is further asserted that many Chinese have l>een decapitated at Chin Kiang, province of Kiang So. Finally, it is asserted that General Yuan Shi Kai has increased bis army to 40,000 men. PROCLAMATION. Brand. It a. Forgery. a Clunij Colorado Springs, Col., Oct. 18.— Louis R. Ehrich, a member of the Na tional executive committee of the An ti-Imperialist League, today received a telegram from Sixto Lopez, iu Bos ton, one of the foremost Filipinos and a man who stands near Aguinaldo, denying emphatically the authenticity of the proclamation purporting to have been issued by Aguinaldo in January, 1899, in which the Philippine leader instructed his followers to occupy the houee tops along the line which the American soldiers should follow in en tering Manila, and urging them to pour oil and boiling water on the sol diers. The alleged instructions further incited the Filipinos to use speais, which would leave the head of the weapon in the body of the victim when the shaft was withdrawn, and urged other and varied foims of torture of the American soldiers. Lopez’s tele gram is addressed to Mr. Ehrich and reads: "Boston, Mass., Oct. 12.—The proc lamation to which you refer is a clum sy forgery, which is only believed by bitter opponents. It is the work, no doubt, of the Spaniards or the monks, who try to create ill feeling between the Americans and the Filipinos to the discredit of tne latter. No such dis graceful or diabolical proclaamtion was ever issued by Aguinaldo.” Sixto Lopez's telegram was called forth by a query sent to him by Mr. Ehrich as to the authenticity of the al leged proclamation.

Oct. 15.—The reformer Sun Yat Sen, according to dispatches from Canton, has unfurled the reform flag in the important town of Wei Chou, on East river. This act has given rise to considerable excitement in military circles iu Canton, as it is believed the object iu raising the flag iu Wei Chou is to deuude Canton of troops, so that they can seize the city.

BRADSTREET’S Bu«lne«a Fully Equal to That of a Coc- re »pond Ing Period La«t Year. Bradstreet's save: Though some measures of business volume and value make unfavorable comparison with a year ago, and speculation is certainly on a reduced scale in nearly all lines, other registers of trade activity are still vaiy favorable and it is hard to resist the conclusion that, with few notable exceptions, the actual business of the country is as a rule fully equal to if not slightly in excess of the correspond ing period of 1899. This, too, iu the case in spite of the distinctly tepressive tendency exercised by the present pres idential campaign. Prices of staples as a whole are firm, after a sustained advance for a month past, succeeding a summer of quiet steadiness, but unhealthiness of the short side in speculation has been brought forcibly to the attention of dealers in a number of staples, notably bog products and flaxseed. The event of the week in the iron •nd steel trade has been the taking of 150,000 tons of rails by the Pennsyl vania at $26 per ton, announced on Friday. ThiH action, which will probably be followed by other com panies, disposes of the steel rail puzzle satisfactorily to the rail-makers, and constitutes another element of strength to the industry generally. Despite a decrease of ovei 20 per cent in the cur rent pig iron proudetion from four months ago, furnace stocks are reported increasing and prices are rather weak. Wheat, including flour shipments, for the week, aggregate 4,292,855 bushels against 4,459,167 bushels last week.
