C, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1897. 51.00 PliR YEAR Ay l LEAVING THE KLOHDYKE OLD MIXERS FLEEING FR03I INEVITABLE SUFFEHING They Predict Great Institution and Star vatlon Thin Winter Keturn of the Ham boldt With Fourteen Passes get s Ne ws From tho Eliza Anderson Terrible Ex perlence on II er Trip op the Coast-Known by Her Owners to be Unseawortby Held by Customs officers. Seattle, Wash., September 13. The steamer Humboldt arrived this morn ing from St. Michaels. She brings four teen passengers and about $15,000 in gold. The Humboldt also brings news that the side wheel steamer Eliza An derson, from Seattle, which was re ported lost, is safe in Dutch Harbor. The Humboldt was eleven days from St. Michaels. The steamer Eliza An derson is anchored in Dutch Harbor, where she arrived on the 4th instant, and is now delayed by revenue offi cers. Her passengers have by this time entered the Behring sea on a schooner chartered for the trip. Two of the pas sengers on the Anderson were so frightened that they gave up their eearch for gold and returned south by the Humboldt. Mayor "Wood, of Seat tle, who chartered the Humboldt, is still at St. Michaels, but letters re ceived from him indicate that the stories. of dissension and strife between mem bers of his expedition are untrue. The Humboldt brings back advices which reiterates the stories of the- un sold wealth of Klondyke and Yukon, and verify the' previous rumors of the shortage of food supply in the interior. "There-will be privation, sickness, star vation,' scurvy and death on the Yu kon this winter," is what the returning gold hunters all say. Only seven passengers of the Hum boldt have money. It is impossible to induce them to ,say how much mone they have, but the purser gives the figures as: J. A. Manger, $900; E. Tur ner, $500; J. F. Creider, $2,000; W. Urqu hart, $900; J. D. Rogers, $2,000; D. F. Atkins, $4,500; Captain J. Whitesides, $4,200. J. M. Secretan, who came back on the Humboldt, and who has but very little cash, says he came out to avoid star vation at Dawson. He said: "Thus far, upwards of 1,500 men have pushed their way over the passes from Skaguay and Dyea and have arrived at Dawson City. Thet influx of miners over the passes has frightened the old timers in the interior, and all that can, are .coming to Winter in the states and thus avoid what they believe would be a winter of hardship, suffering and probably murder and thievery." W. B. Price, of Danville, 111., who went up on the Eliza Anderson and who left that vessel at Dutch Harbor, returned on the Humboldt. He said: "The entire trip was -a se ries of mishaps. The third day out from Dixon's entrance bad weather came on and the wind blew terrifically. The waves would lift the guard up and leap in under it. During the first night after the sorm began the rudder chain broke five times. Of course, after this broke, there was no controlling fho boat. Every minute it seemed she would go over. The passengers were thrown out of their bunks. The crew was insufficient to work the pumps, so the passengers took them in charge. I was put in command and divided the passengers up into squads of four men each. Each squad worked two hours. I also did the sounding to see how much water there was. We kept this up for forty-eight hours and during that time the Anderson drifted back fourteen miles. The second day of our trouble the other vessels were in sight. Then the Merwin, which was being towed by the Holyoke, along with the Bryant and Polistofsky, broke loose and the captain of the. Holyoke turned about with the other two boats in tow and picked up the Merwin. The next place we reached was St. Paul, on Kodiak island. We should have taken coal there to get to Dutch Harbor, but could not get it. After leaving St. Paul the sea was heavy and we were forced to cruise alpng shore. We arrived within 130 miles of Dutch Harbor when the coal gave out. We were rigging a small boat to send out for relief when we sighted a small fishing smack with one man in it. He told us we could reach an abandoned cannery about twenty miles distant, where coal had been lying for five or six years. We had enough coal to reach that point. All day long the passengers worked in a drizzling rain to take on the coal, and finally on September 4th we reached Dutch Harbor. Captain Hooper, of the revenue squadron, boarded U3 at Dutch Harbor, and seeing the unsea- worthy condition of the Anderson for- bade her to go further. It was not necessary for him to" go below, but upon seeing that we had insufficient life boats he gave the order to tie-up there. The passengers of the Ander son, with the exception of Mr. Scott and myself, raised $1,000 to charter the schooner Parisoff to take the passen gers from there to St. Michaels. The conditions on the trip of the Anderson from Dixon's entrance to Dutch Har bor cannot be pictured too vividly. "It was a remarkable statement that Captain Chilcott, one of the incorpora tors of the company which runs the Anderson, is reported to have made to Chief Bonnifield, of the Humboldt, thin morning He is alleged to have said: 'I knew that the Anderson was unsea worthy, and especially for an ocean voyage, but we were bound to get her there any way. We sent her in charge of one of the best captains on this coast Captain Powers. If anyone could get her there he could " .

(FCOM THE K ION DYKE Arrival of the Excelsior at San Francisco QSIzty Three Passengers and 1,000.000 In Gold Efforts to Get Provisions t Daw - son Glty San Francisco, September 15. The long overdue steamer Excelsior, which left St. Michaels, Alaska, for this port six weeks ago, but was compelled to put back to Unalaska for repairs, after having broken two blades of her pro peller, arrived this morning with sixty-three passengers and about $1,000,000 in gold. Of those who came down from Alas ka all but two are known to have money, but few were communicative enough to admit how much they had. All unite in confirming the stories al ready told of the impending dangerpf famine at Dawson City during the com ing winter. They say there are at least 7,000 people now at Dawson City and that more are swarming in every day; that the provisions are already running short and the prospects of get- tine- mnro in are rpmnte. ThR Excel- sior's passengers are unanimous in the opinion that the Klondyke region is richer than was at first supposed, but are also of the opinion that unless the immigration to that country is stop ped temporarily there will be terrible suffering. Louis Sloss, Jr., of the Alaska Com mercial Company, was one of the pas sengers. He went to Dawistn City for the company and reports that all good claims are taken up. There is no chance for the new comers unless a rich strike is made on some other section. Mr. Sloss says that his com pany store at Dawson City was closed for but one day. He thinks provisions will be scarce, but he hates to say there will be actual starvation. There are about 300 impatient miners at St. Michaels, most of whom will have to stay until spring unless they have al ready secured passage on the river boats. There are plenty of provisions at St. Michaels and every effort is being made to get supplies up the river. It is difficult to say how much money was brought down by the Excelsior, The miners are secretive and will give no accurate information. Some of them, it is known, could not bring mucfi,' and will be glad to go to work down here. The Alaska Commercial Com pany received a large consignment ot treasure, but will not say exactly how much. When asked as to the amount, Mr. Sloss said: "We brought more than came down on the Portland and we did not need any Maxim guns to protect it. The Situation at New Orleans New Orleans, September 15. At the close of the day's investigation by the board of health at 6 o'clock this even ing the fever situation so far, at least as New Orleans is concerned, was con sidered to have locally improved There was less anxiety than at any time since Monday among the health officials and they are encouraged to believe that by no means have they lost control of the situation. During the day there were twenty cases reported to the board of health for investigation. Of these two are still under investiga tion, two were reported as suspicious, and as requiring further diagnosis. fourteen were found to be harmless cases of fever and two are pronounc ed genuine yellow fever. Of these two. one is the case of an old French butch er, living in the immediate vicinity of the French market. His case was pre maturely reported last night to be yel low fever. These two cases are tho only ones which have been able to trace to Ocean Springs. At Touro there are some 200 sick peo ple and the utmost cautidn is being dis played in order to prevent any possible spread of the disease. A million gal lons of water have already been pump ed through the streets and with the general situation showing as much im provement as it does tonight, confi dence is steadly being strengthened. The stormy weather since Saturday has had the effect of increasing the number of cases at Ocean Spring. One new case was reported at Biloxi this morning, it is that of Rev. C. F. Emery, pastor of the Methodist church, making three in his family. Biloxi has four cases of sickness. There have been no deaths at Biloxi. Situation In the Coal Fields Hazleton, Pa., September l5. A calm pervaded Hazleton and its environs to day. The strikers maintain silence and good order. An extra guard was placed about the company stares at Latimer to day in consequence of a rumor that the foreigners were plotting to blow up the building, with dynamite.. They have ceased dealing there and are now buying their provender in Hazleton. Some are going so far as to move into town. Major Whitney, of the Thirteenth regi ment, which is camped at Latimer, has issued an order to his soldiers, forbidding them from accepting food or drink from any person outside the camp. Inquiry into the cause of this unusual order de veloped the fact that the military fear an attempt to poison the troops. A guard of thirty men was stationed at the Audendried pump to protect the water supply for the mines and troops. Arrangements are under way for a monster mass meeting here on Saturday night, and it is understood that efforts are being made to have Eugene V. Debs and other prominent labor men address it. All the miners in the middle coal field will be asked to attend and it Is estl mated that 23,000" miners will be present. The strike conditions were not ma terially changed today. The 500 men eni ployed at the Beaver Brook colliery of Dodson & Co. met last night and de cided to demand an increase of 10 per cent, in wages, and the sale of powder at z per Keg instead or at $2.75. If the company refuses they will strike. The Beaver Brook men were out a few days ago, out returned to work yesterday. Word reached here today that a meet ing of Hungarians will be held in New York tomorrow night to consider the situation. Professor Tom's Resignation Accepted : (Special to The Messenger.) Raleigh, N. C, September 13. The ex ecutive committee of the state university, In special session, today accepted Pro fessor Toms' resignation of the chair of pedagogics, but choose no successor. Dr. E. T.

Race Between Passenger Trains Dis graceful State of Affairs. Messenger Bureau, Park Hotel Raleigh, N. C, Sept., 13. The attendance at the Agricultural and Mechanical college is splendid. Already 250 students have been en rolled and fully fifty more' are expect ed this week. The dormitories are full even crowded, and the faculty see the necessity of erecting another dorm itory immediately. This need has been I reported to the trustees. Professor U, - TfV. x, v lElderidge, of Ithica, !N. Y., who was elected professor of mathematical en gineering, is here. He has not yet ac cepted the place, but came here to look into the matter. Professor Wright of Clinton, assistant professor of mathe matices is here. Captain Gresham the instructor of military tactics, is also professor of languages at the college. The governor is asked for a pardon for a young man named Moore, who last spring at Franklinton killed a negro and who is now serving a term of fif teen years in the penitentiary. The governor refused to grant the pardon. It is said that Governor Russell will hardly render his decision in the rail road commissioners' case until October. Why all this delay is not known. Not even his most intimate friends or ad visers seem to know what will be the verdict of the governor. The failure of the excursion to South ern Pines to leave here on Friday did not prevent the laying of the corner stone of the Picksford sanitarium there. It was laid with appropriate services. Mrs. Curtis, the wife of the minister to the colored Presbyterian church here, will endow a cot in this hospital in memory of her son who died a few years ago. Professor Gerald McCarthy, who for years has been the state botanist and entomologist, will go to Cornell for a year's study. He had been employed by the state under a written contract to July 1st 1898 to study the diseases of cotton and tobacco. He will bring suit for the $1,250 due him under this con tract. There is an investigation going on regarding the racing of tha two trains from here on the 3:30 o'clock p. m., schedule. The Seaboard Air Line and Southern tracks go side by side for eight miles, and cross each other at Cary., It Is said the Southern's engi neer made that crossing without stop ping, as is the most implicit orders in regard to trains crossing another track. There is a perfect muddle and mess here in the management of the deaf, dumb and blind asylum (colored). Jim Young (colored) virtually controls the situation, and there are white men on the board. It is simply disgraceful. The promised cool wave is yet to be realized. The heat grows more intense instead of getting less.

Information from thesfront received this afternoon shows the Afridis are attacking the Samana forts in force. General Yeatman-Biggs will relieve fort Gulisdan tonight and the simultaneous advance of Generals Blood and Elles against the Mohands will commence on Wednesday next. The fort was attacked by 1.000 Orakzais. A gallant defense was made by the garrison of twenty-one Sikhs who for six and a half hours sus tained three furious assaults.

Miss Endsley andExecutive Clerk Geo, B. Cortelyou. There was no schedule ar. ranged for the train between here and Somerset, and it was put through at an easy gait on orders from the train dis patcher of each division. The president had expressed a wish to arrive In Wash ington at 5:45 o'clock and was landed here on the dot. There was a very small crowd at the Baltimore and Ohio depot at 5:30 the hour when the train was expected. The cabinet was renresented hv Sprrptarv ' Bliss and Secretary Wilson and Post- master -General Gary. Assistant Secre tary Pruden of the White house staff was also on hand. As the train slowed up at the station the cabinet officers entered the drawing room of the private car and after a few minutes' talk with the presi dent the party proceeded to the carriages. , The president was, cheered as he appear ed on the platform, and after lifting his hat in acknowledgement assisted Mrs. Mc Kinley to alight. With the president on ! one hand and Secretary Bliss on the other, Mrs. McKinley walked across the platform to the carriage and the party was driven at once to the White house. The run from Somerset was uneventful except for the crowds which greeted the train at the stopping places en route. The president looked in good health and spirits and expressed himself pleased with nis outing, but glad to return to Wash- , inton- The Capture of Victoria de las Tunas Havanna, September 13.

The state capital depopulated; its business houses closed: Its newspapers suspended; seven cases of yellow fever officially announced at Its very doors, with many suspected cases at various points; an embargo on the railroads' of the state and grave ap prehensions that the dread disease has obtained a foothold In numerous parts of the state; wild alarm everywhere. 8wch Is the conditions existing in the middle, western and northern portions of the state today. The worst fears of the medical fra ternity and the public have been realized and the prevailing disease at Edwards has been pronounced yellow fever. The state board of health has laid a general embargo on travel except out of the state, by means of an order promulgated this afternoon and addressed to all lines of transportation. Travel from Infected places is absolutely barred. Th: bright side of the situation Is that thr disease is of a very mild type. The exodus from this city, which began in a small way three days ago has attained unprece dented proportions. While the state board advises all who can to leave, the rail roads say they can handle the largest crowds. The most rigid local quarantine prevails here. Dr. Guiteras reached Edwards at 4:30 o'clock a. m. today, and after Investiga tion sent the following message to the state board: "I arrived this morning. I have investigated a number of cases and the following are pronounced yellow fever: A. Montgomery, Pat Montgomery, Miss Anna Henry, T. H. W. Barrett, E. F. Suttle, Miss Austin, three miles out in the country; Mrs. Champion, Champion Hill." Following Is Dr. Guiteras report to Surgeon General Wyman: "Edwards, Miss., September 15. "Wyman, Washington: "The diagnosis of yellow fever made In six cases by Dr. Purnell. is confirmed. He has two other cases that I have not yet seen. There are many children sick with what is probably a mild type ot the disease. The cases are not confined to one locality, but are all traceable to the An derson case, which came from Ocean Springs. The medium of distribution ap nears to have been the Champion case. Mr. Champion, who died, was a promi nent man and many people congregated in the house during his illness, ur.

GUITERAS.' All the fears of the people of Jackson in regard to sickness prevalent at Ed wards have been realized. Dr. Guiteras, the 'government expert, has confirmed seven cases of yellow fever, and says there are many suspects. First, the cases were reported as malarial fever, than after a time they became dengue-fever; another wait and they were pronounced suspicious and finally declared to be the genuine yellow fever. During all this time the disease had been spreading at the rate of five or six cases dally, until they are now forty cases in existence at Edwards. The state board has Induced Dr. Purnell to place a cordon of guards around Edwards. Reports says that the disease has also appeared at Clinton and Smiths, towns near Edwards. The state board has ordered the discontinuance of trains on the Woodville. Miss, branch of the Yazoo and Mississippi valley road. The following order was promulgated today by the state board of health: "VIcksburg. Miss.. September 15.

No trains will be allowed to stop at infected places. Any person from non Infected communities, whose destination is beyond the state of Mississippi will be allowed to board the trains at all points not infected with yellow fever. Train crews running to or from places that are not infected by yellow fever will be al lowed to get off at the terminals. It Is stated that an expert has been requested to proceed to Nlttayuna, Miss., to Investigate the case of Mr. Cameron, who came from Edwards, and to com pletely isolate the case. Yazoo City. Miss., has Issued orders for a shot gun quarantine to be enforced. No trains are allowed to stop except to ex change mails at the quarantine stations. No passengers are allowed to leave the train and all mail and express rofit be fumigated. Guards -armed to thfteeth. are placed along the county bouUdaries, but In spite of these rigid rules several people have managed to get by, some even coming from inrected districts. Two drummers who came Monday were yes terday placed In quarantine. A telegram was received at the governor's office ask' Ing that 250 tents be sent. The citv officials tonight issued the following proclamation: "To the public: "The fever prevailing at Edwards has at last been officially declared yellow fever. e have maintained strict quar antine against all points Infected.
