About 10,000 men are sailing each
month from Tacoma and Seattle ou the
regular assenger steamers for Ji eau,
Skagua md Dyea. Forty-five trips were
scheduled for February and March, ami
to these must be added the voyages made
by schooners and sailing craft of all sorts.
Every kind of craft in Seattle and Ta
coma, even to canoes, is hiring out for
Skaguay and Dyea. C’anoes will carry
one all right if properly managed. The
Alaska Indians have lieen coming down
every summer since 1859 for the hop-pick
ing season on Puget sound, paddling 1,500
miles down and back again. The canoe
business has come to life again, therefore,
and Indian cauoemen command high
wages.
To Tacoma, a city of perhaps 40,000
persons, which was until recently in finan
cial distress, “petering out and losing its
bottom,” Eastern investors said, 10,000
men a month passing through and leaving
dollars for outfits means a great deal.
Houses that have been empty since the
boom hurst in 1890 are full now, and ho

three years are crowded with guests. The
same is true in Seattle, where roots have
advanced twenty to fifty per cent.

lace of Tacoma, a son-in-law of Chief Jus
tice Fuller and president of the Chilcoot
Railroad and Transportation Company,
rented the steamship City of Seattle last
fall for $1,500 a month. She carries 025
passengers and 400 tons of freight, and
makes the trip to Dyea in 70 hours. She
had gone out of commission, and her own
ers were mighty glad to accept Wallace’s
offer. They are not so glad now, however,
as Wallace is clearing over $50,000 a
month above expenses, with a prospect of
no decrease in business in the next three
years.
Not one of twenty-five steamers will
consider any more proposals for freight
unless the date is later than May 1. They
have absolutely every cubic foot of space
below deck and above already contracted
for. Nor is there much chaace to obtain
passage except on through tickets from
the East, in which case berths are reserv

The Tacoma company that has built an

LIFE IN DAWSON CITY.
One Miner XV ho Is Swiftly Dancing
Away a Fortune of $40,000.
“Dawson City is the hottest town I was
ever in,” says a returned Klondiker. “I
presume that 10,0X1 is a reasonable esti
mate of the town’s population at the pres
ent time.
“Gold is the main circulating medium
there. Of course you now and then see
a bill or a bank note, but it soon goes out
of circulation. Fellows who are almut
to start back for the States usually grab
on to every piece of paper money they
eao get hold of. It is easier to carry than
gold. Dawson is full of saloons, flnjl all
enjoy a land office business. Fifty cents
a drink was the rilling quotation for whis
ky, and there was a never failing demand
for the article. Gambling? Well, I should
say. A man can got into any game he
wants in Dawson, and there is no limit
t- stakes.
Dawson uas n theater. It is three
stories high and built o boards. The
rankest kind of a vaudeville show holds
forth every other night. On the alternat
ing nights dancing is held in the building.
A lady for a pnrtnor is a rarity. Women
are so scarce that there are always fights
among the fellows to settle as to who
shall dance with the few. I know of one
follow who sold out his claim for $40.-
000 and was devoting his time exclusively
to the terpsicliorean pleasure. I figured
that he would dance out the $40,000 by
next June. Gold is the medium of ex
change. Every store and saloon has a
man who does nothing hut weigh gold
dust taken in exchange for supplies or
drinks.”
TO USE THE MILITIA.
War Department Not to Depend On
"Regulars” Alone.
The War Department. is making ar
rangements steadily to utilize, the militia
force in conjunction with the regulars.
Information has come to Washington
from all the States in relation to the cu
merieal strength which may he depended
upon In a time of emergency, and the
plans have been so laid as to call upon this
force without delay. The War Depart
ment has worked out numerous projects
in which the regulars and the State troops
and volunteers would take part. These
plans go so far as to contemplate the in- '
vasion of Cuba, the pursuit of an enemy ’
into Mexican and Canadian territory, and ;
the prompt- concentration of the soldiers j
at any point or along any section of the ■
Atlantic, Pacific and gulf coasts.
State troops, as such, cannot he used 4

FORTY LIVES LOST.

t Forty lives are believed to have been

When the first intimation of the wreck
was brought tp San Francisco the tug Sea
Witch was dispatched to the point indi
rated. Tbe bark lay upon her starboard
side with her stern low down in the wat
er, her deck hamper badly wrecked and
several planks of her hull washed loose
by the seas which broke over her. While
there, were no signs of boats among the
i wreckage, if is not believed that her pns-
I sefigets- and crew escaped by putting off
| from the. vesspl. in thoiu. Furthermore,
; no word has been received from the sur
vivors, if any exist.
According to the tugboat men, there
was a pretty stiff breeze when tiic Almy
sailed out of Golden Gate oh Sunday, and
by noon it was blowing a gale. She left
under topsails, and when last seen was
-tending out for an offing. There was a
heavy sea running, and it is supposed that
some time during the night she was struck
by a squall and turned turtle.
The litln W. Almy was once a south
sea trader and was quite famous for her
ninny adventures among the reefs. The
vessel was in good condition for an old
vessel. She was on the dry docks some
days liefore being put on the berth, and
her owners spent SS>OOO in repairing her.
She had a temporary house on deck.
I When the Almy left port she had twenty

provisions of the passengers and their
outfits. She. was a vessel of only 250
tons.

PROCTOR TALKS PLAINLY.
Vermont Senator Tells the Senate of
His Trip to Cuba. -
Senator Proctor Thursday afternoon
made the strongest argument in favor of
intervention in behalf of Cuba that has
ever been mode in the Senate. Never
were the members of ihe Sena; i o deeply
impressed. Mr. Fror or made no attempt
for oratorical effect. He had carefully
prepared his address, and he delivered it
to the Senate as an official report of what
he bad observed in Cuba. He gave no
opinion as to what action should be taken
by this Government. He said the settle
ment “may well be left to an America"
President aud the American people." But
while he did not make a recommendation
.in. so many words, lie left the impression
with all who heard him that he favored a
declaration by this Government of the in
dependence of Cuba. He declared that
he was opposed to annexation, and, while
many Cubans advocated the establish
ment of a protectorate by the United
States, he could not make up his mind
that this would be the best way out of
the difficulty, lie told his associates that
be believed the Cubans capable of gov
erning themselves, and re-enfereed this
statement by the assertion that the Cuban
population would never be satisfied with
any government under Spanish rule.
There was really nothing new in what
he said. The same facts nave been pre
sented time and again by newspaper cor
respondents, aud have been denounced as
falsehoods. The point of then pigmenta
tion Thursday was that they were detail
ed by a United States Senator as the re
sult of his personal observations—of a
Senator, too, who went to Cuba strongly
prepossessed with tin- idea that the condi
tion of the concent redos hail been greatly
exaggerated, and who came back and de
clared that the scones he hail witnessed
were absolutely indescribable.
He said nothing about the Maine except
to State that he had not formed nor ex
pressed an.V opts" >r. on the subject of her
destruction, and preferred to wait for tiro
report of the court of inquiry. Autonomy,
he asserted, was an utter failure. It came
too late. There were practically no au
tonomists. The rebels possessed the east
of the island, and even in the west the
Spanish army held just what it sat upon
and no more.
From many view points the statement
was sen arkable. It had evidently been
most carefully prepared. Every element
of sensationalism bad been studiously
eliminated from it and, except so far as
the facts recited were sensational, it bore
not the slightest evidence of an effort to
arouse the public mind, already keenly
alite to the condition of. affairs on the
