Not so Much Gold Brought as Ex pected. Port Angeles, Wash., Aug. 30 The steamer Portland arrived from tit. Michaels. Captain Kidston re- puw;u u pieasant, voyage, and ex plained the delay or three days In reaching Port Angeles by stating that a very serious storm at St. Michaels delayed the discharge of his cargo. lie laughed when told of the re ports that the Portland was carrying over $2,000,000 In gold. As a matter of fact, he said, there was only about 8825,000 In gold dust and nuggets on board his ycssel. Among the Portland's passengers from St. Michaels is Timothy Bell, who has with him 830,000 In gold which he dug from a claim that cost 8125. William Ogllvle, Dominion sur veyor, says the 000 claims now staked out will yield 800,000,000. From a number of the Portland's crew It was learned that Captain Kidston had expected the Weare, one of the company's boats, to come down the Yukon with about 81,000,000 worth of nuggets and gold dust, but asshe did not arrive In time he de cided to bring down the treasure next trip. The United States cutter Bear, it is said, will guard the Portland on her next trip from St. Michaels) to Se attle. As most miners will make their cleanup by that time, it Is expected the Portleiid's cargo will bo a very valuable one. The returning iiJcro oay that, tbo rcmarkabljprfcrl ' claims on Eldtfrado creek will number 140. Mr. Ogllvle estimates that, at the rate these 140 claims are now producing, and con sidering the ground yet to be worked, the amount In the next three years will aggregate about 870,000,000. To this must be added the favorable pos sibilities of pockets and development of claims already found but not open ed. There have been other rich strikes on Stewart river. Hunker, Hender eod and Indian creeks, but none of these are as rich as the claims on El dorado and Bonanza creeks. Until the wonderful discoveries of Klondike were made, ground worth 10 cents to the pan, with two or three feet of pay dirt, was considered very good for the Yukon, and the miners made their money with rockers and sluices. This year the miners aro passing entirely over ground of this richness In their search for sand and gravel that will pay like that or the Klondike discoveries. Up to date, none of the claims was showing any signs or exhaustion, and scarcely a dozen are more than well opened, Every one has large area or ground to be worked. One returning miner says it is Im possible to make anything like an ac curate estimate of the probable yield of the mines. The ground Is not at all even In richness, and the worth of pay streaks varies greatly. , The most important news from St. Michaels is that the river steamers left there two weeks ago for their last trip up. It is not certain they will reach Dawson this fall, and the pas sengers wio left the Sound as early as July 25 may 6nly reach Circle City be- & 1 00022 for good word-guessers. You must send in your yellow tickets and words by August 3 1 st the sooner you begin, the bigger your chances at the prize. Rules of contest published in large advertisement abowt the firstand middle of Mck month. A4 fore navigation closes. This makes It certain that hundreds who left tlio Sound and California since August 1 ror St. Michaels will winter here. At tlio best they can scarcely get started up the Yukon before It freezes solid. All vessels touching at St. Michaels this summer have had difficulty keeping their crows, who have caught the fever. One schooner from "Vic toria was cnnlrcly deserted by her crew, from 'captain to "cook, who started up the river for Klondike. The crew of the J.M. Colman tried to desert, but tlio attempt was dis covered In time, and, by a display of firearms, the men were compelled to remain. , The crow of the schooner Jewett and the carpcnter;of Sander, wero payed off at St. Michaels, and de parted ror Dawson. The Portland brings hack thirteen miners, each or whom brings out a small part or his stake. The total amount or gold oU the vessel is per haps 8400,000. The Portland was delayed llrstby the failure of the P. B. Weare to ar rive at St. Michaels., and next by a storm on the North Pacllic ocean.

Toronto, Aug. 30, the story of the halting oMhe Grand Army posts here appears to have .been exaggerated. These are the facts; The members of post No. 13, of St. Louis, arrived here in the afternoon. They attempted to get a British flag on the steamer, and falling tried to borrow one from the customs officer at the dock. He suggested that the visitors could get a Hag at one or the stores further up the street, and a policeman escor ted the post to Queen street, where It halted until! Its leaders could pur-' chase a flag. Then with the British; and American flags flying, the Grand ' Armylmeu marched to the parliament ' buildings, where tuey were warmly welcomed and returned to the boat much pleased with their visit.

Tlio attendance of labor leaders upon today's united labor convention Is considerable of a disappointment, but the promoters are gathering, and it is thought that today's arrivals will materially In crease the list of delegates. ZZL The most Important arrivals or the day were D. R. Sovereign, grand master workman or the Knights or Labor; W. C. Pcarcc, secretary or the United Mtncworkcrs or America, and R. Askew, secretary or the National Miners' Association or America, Is phcmlng, Mich. "It is simply Impossible to forecast what this courcrenco will do," said Mr, Sovenlgn. "It seems tome, how ever, that all labor organizations re alize that the timo has come ror tLcm to put aside all petty jealousies and from one grand amalgamation. Whether this organlzatioa will bo effected here, I cannot even surmise. Organized labor has worked on a line to secure legislation which will beno flt the working classes, but It brought us no benefit. It will now get to work in an endeavor to remove the cause of our failure In the legislative circles, and hopes for better results." Branching off into the matter or the miners' strike, Sovereign said: "This miners' strike is nearer won than many people believe. If over thero was a real grievance and an ob ject for striking, It Is In this strike, and I believe they will win yet. If they don't win. It Is tlio last strike I .inlll.nvorunJH " What plan of action Mr. Sovereign had made ho declined to say. Grant Luce, chairman of the com mittee of arrangements, said lie had been advised that Messrs. Ratchford and Gompers and one or two others had met in Columbus and arranged a pian of action for the confcrancc, which they will present at the con Teranco tomorrow. Debs will arrlvo In the morning. Tlio objects or the conforcncc, so rar as can be ascertained, are to devise some means for the relief of the strik. lng miners, and f. protest against "the government by Injunction." Secretary Stclnbess, of the Build ing Trades Council, of St. Louis, who has done much to bring the confer ence into existence, said: "The object of the meeting is to settle the miner.' strike. Wo want justice, and we are going to have It, but not In defiance of the principles of American liberty. Wo are patri otic, and we want what is for the best Interests of the country. I think the result of this meeting will bo the uniting of all the labor organizations In this country in one common cause. It will, without any question, load to the union or all Mic labor organiza tions in this country In one central body, in which united action can be taken for their Interests on every question that may affect their Inter ests."

Readville' Mass., Aug. 30. Tlio pacing f-talllon Star Pointer, owned by James A. Murphy, Saturday wiped out the two-minute mark, and ended tho controversy which has been going on for years as to speed qualities of tho light harness horso. Accompanied by a runner, the big bay Tennessee bred stallion wlpea out the mark and hadjthrce-quarter8 of a secondto spare when he went under the wire. This wonderful performance was witnessed by about 8003 persons. It was the moro wonderful for on Friday Joe Patchen, with Goers behlcd him, had made a try at the mark mado by John R. Gentry last October, and had failed by a second and a hair. Because or this, It was not thought that his greatest rival In the race line would get down below the even time-mark. Tho day was perfect for record , breaking. Tho first quarter was at a two-minute gait, 30 seconds, and then, as Mc Clcary called on nis pacer to movo, there was a great cheer, for ho was beating two minutes and -got to the hair In 0:202. The third quarter was the fastest of tho mile, the distance being covered in 0:20 seconds, a 1:57 gait.
