News for the Gold Seekers,
Mounted Police Will Not
Miners to Enter,
Allow
Tacoma. Aug. 3. The Fteamer
Queen arrived at Tacoma direct from
Alaska Monday afternoon with 200
returning excursionists. The Queen
brought word that the mounted po
lice of the Northwest territory arc
meeting all people bound for the
Yukon country at the British line be
yond the White and Dyca passe?, and
compelling all who have not one year's
supplies of provisions to return to the
cmst. But few of the fortuncseukcrs
who had left Tacoma and the sound
within the last few weeks fur Dyea
and Skaguay had crossed the passes
Into the Interior when the Queen left
Dyea, on July 28. Two hundred or
more miners were encamped at Skag
uay then, awaiting an opportunity to
liaye their supplies packed over the
pass. The lirst pack train over the
White pass was expected back at
Skaguay when the Queen left there.
Rev. Alfred Kummer, of Oakland,
Cal., one of the excursionists, went
ashore at Skaguay -and reports that
he was told by two men there that It
would cost 8400 to huve their supplies,
weighing 2,000 pounds, carried over
the pass. Mr. Kummer and Captain
Carrol warned everybody not to at
tempt to enter the Yukon before next
spring. The captain says that not
even those who are cow at Skauguay
or Dyca will be able to reach the In
terior this winter, principally because
the supplies can not be gotton over the
passes. The Indians are hard at work
packing, and all the available horses
are pressed into service. Men can
pack, they say, about cventy-five
pounds one way, and the round trip
Is seventy-two miles.
From Clondykc.
The following is an Interesting let
ter from Clondykc in the Corvallis
Times.
John Steyeus, bridge foreman on
the O.C. & E. Is one man who has in
formation from the Clondykc that
has not yet reached the public. An
old friend of his came down on a r -cently
arrived steamer, and from this
friend, Mr. Stevens has received a
letter. The letter states that the
writer brought down with hfm $27,000
In gold dust and that as quick as cer
tain business in Oregon could be set
tled lie would return to the diggings.
Meantime a brother, left in charge
of the mine, works twelve men whoso
wages are from twelve to twenty dol
lars each, Tho writer has a high
opinion of the new diggings, and says
that the hard talcs of hardships to bo
endured arc Eoroetlmes magnified.
The lucky miner landed in the Clon
dykc with $100.
Heard From His Brother,
G. W. Jackson, proprietor of the
Wonder saloon, of Portland, has re
ceived a letter from his brother W. A.
Jackson, who has been In Circle City
and Dawson City for two years, en
closing a check on the First National
bank of Seattle for $10,000, and re
questing him to go to Alaska at once,
advising him if he cannot sell his sa
loon to give It away to some poor fol
low. W. A. Juckson says that he has
located six claims on the Clondykc
and is employing four men at $15 a
day. G. W. will go in the spring.

elege heretofore extended to Ca
nadians of bonding goods In slilpr
ment through American territory,
and also to rescind tho action estab
lishing sub ports of entry at Dyea,
Skaguay andClrcle City. This action

measures proposed by tho Canadian
government, to levy an import duty !
on the personal outfits of miners and
prospectors from the Unltqd States
Into the new Clondykc district.

Fate of Goldseekers.
Vancouver, B. C, Aug. 3. The
steamship Mlowcra, from Sydney,
brings information that news of still
another massacre has been received at
Sydney. Not long ago a number of
Australia's army of unemployed weio
attracted by stories of fabulous gold
panning at Papua and other inteiior
New Guinea points. Their ranks
have been terribly thinned by minder,
starvat ioii'iind I'auUvswijiiip.- fevers.
To make matters worst;, every native
who he ped a while was marked for
the tomahawk.
The remnant of these while pion
eers went to Vanapa for a final effort
to make their fortunes. Their stores
gave out and for months they lived on
"damper" and tea. Natives in tho
vicinity claimed to be lll-treates. by
the uovcrnment in the way of siant
stores, and decided to teach the gov
ernment a lesson by killing all the
whites within reach. The whites
were raided at night and put to death
with tomahawks, being easy victims.
After long suffering they were weak
and emaciated, and could not de
fend themselves.
Many massacres had occurred In tho
same place previously,buf, the govern
ment had never attempted to punish
the murderers,
Later news confirms the massacre
which occurred 85 miles from Port
Moresby. The entire settlement of
natives and whites had their heads
split open by a large band of savages.
The government has sent a largo body
of military police to surround the na
tives and shoot if necessary. Whole
sale arrests will be made. The natives
will be brought back manacled In the
hold of a steamer chartered for the
purpose.

Miners Wild With Joy-A Crisis
Near at Hand.
Pittsuuro, Aug. 3. The mass
meeting of miners at tho McCrea
school house was the greatest during
the strike, and probably the largest
gathering of the kind ever seen in Al
legheny county. More than 5000
striking miners were gathered for an
all-day session, and labor leader har
angued them In various tongues,
while bands of music served to stir
up the enthusiam to the highest
pitch From early morning miners
of every nationality were gathering
at the schoolhouse. They came In
big bands and small ones, but the one
that set the camp wild with enthusi
asm came from Turtle Creek. It had
1G00 miners from that camp, and
when they came in sight there was
such cheering as has not been heard
since the strike started,
A few minutes after the arrival of
the Turtle Creek division the speakers
arrived In carriages. They were A.
P.Cattrlck, presldeutof tho Painters'
and Decorators, Union; W. A. Carney,
ylce president of the Amalgamated
Association; Mrs. Jones, the female
labor agitator, of Clilcoiro, and M.
C. Monuhan, of the Painters' and Dec
orators' Union. In addition to these
the leaders of the miners were lined
up to speak as the occasion demanded.
J. T. McCoy, a prominent member
of tho typographical union, extended
the sympathy and financial support of
thoprluteisor the country, and said
the organization made a pur capita
assessment for live weeks to be paid
for the benefit of the strikers.
Two new camps were instituted af
ter the meeting. The one at Plum
Creek is Camp Resistance, and the
one atsanuy urccic win uu caueo
Camp Isolation. Each camp In the
besieged . district will be kept sup
plied with guards. Headquarters, as
heretofore, will beat Camp Determi
nation, at Turtle Creek.
The force of deputies was kept busy
during thccntlrc night. Every move
was watched, and trouble seemed to
be In the air. The condition Is said
to have been critical. Both sides feel
thut there Ik u crisis near at hand.
The ollicluls of tho New York &
Cloycl-inu Gas-Coal Company gave out
tho statement tonight that their for
ces were lhcreascd in the Tnrtlo
Creek and Sandy Creek mines, and

Creek than since thecampalgn against
the company started.

beheld before Justice Scmmlr.s, of
Turtle Creek. The miners' olllclals
have tctulncd attorney?, and alio
case will bo fought to an end.
Whatever the Immediate culmina
tion of t he strike situation may be, it
is evident that Sheriff Lowcry consid
ers the time a critical one. He tele
graphed Governor Hastings furly con
cerning tlic conditions existing here,
witli the evident purpose or having
tlio governor prepared for any emer
gency that may arise In the near
future. It Is learned that the gover
nor has been Impressed with tho grav
ity of tho situation, and that he has
Instructed the adjutant-general to re

question that may be inndc on hlui
for troops,

mines before tho men started to work.
A lino was openud up und as the
diggers rioa'Gd the pit mouth they
passed betwuen tho linos of strikers.
There was no attempt at force, but a
number of diggers stopped und talked
with the strikers and thcn.paRscd Into
the mine. Some were Induces! to
come out. About an hour later tho
strikers moved off In tho direction of
the McCrea schoolhouse.
At Oak Hill mine a demonstration
was made, but no men were induced
to quit. At Sandy Creek mine, many
men are out. The company say 100
are at work, while the strikers say
only 22 went In.
President Dolan, who was arrested
on a charge of riot and unlawful as
semblage, gave ball for a hearing on
Wednesday and again joined the
strikers. Dolun commented bitterly
on the action of Superintendent Dc-
Armltt. He accuses tho operators of
trying to incite a riot by causing the
, ,
arrest at such a time and place. Ho
claims he was not disturbing any one
and that his arrest was made without
cause.
It was the Intention to hold a meet
ing at Bethlehem schoolhouse. When
tho marchers reached that placo they
found a fence had been erected around
the school property and notices
posted saying no trespassing would bo
allowed. The leaders of the marchers
said they would not disobey tho no
tices, and tho men marched back to
McCrea schoolhouse.
Wireless Telegraph.
New York, Aug. 3. A special to
the Wc.rld from London says:
Marconi, Inventor of the "wireless
telegraph," has Just reached Soudan,
where a trial of tho invention will bo
made. In an Interview Marconi said:
"The greatest distance which wo
have been able to transmit messages
by telegraph without wires Is twelve
miles, but thut by no means is the
limit of the instrument. It simply
signifies that existing appliances ure
not perfect. At Spezzlu I sent mes
sages without wires from the San
Bartholomew arsenal to tho warship
San Marline, twelve miles out in the
harbor without ditllculty, and with
absolute accuracy. It was done before
the royal commission. Ortioial exper
iments will bo ronewed when I return
UK-Italy In September. I have suc
cessfully experimented at tho Italian
ministry of iiiarino and at tho Quirl-
nal before the king and queen."
