SEATTLE, July 22.—At 3:57 oclock
this afternoon the North American
Transportation company's steamer
Portland sailed from Seattle to St. Mi
chael's. Alaska, from which point her
passengers will be transferred to Yukon
river steamer and carried to the famous
Clondyke gold fields. By actual count
t here were 128 passengers-, a few of whom
were women. It can be stated almost
positively that unless something unex
pected happens, the Portland's passen-
gers will reach Dawson City at the junc
tion of the Yukon and Clondyke rivers,
without experiencing any hardships
worth mentioning. Every person on the
Portland, with the possible exception of
a stowaway or two, has a ticket through
to the gold fields, and the transportation
company has given its- word to get them
;here as soon as possible.
Michael Kelly, one of Seattle's old
timers, who has made a big strike out
of the Clondyke. said as the steamer
pulled away from the wharf that "the
gang would reach Dawson City all
right." hut he shook his head on
proposition of their having an easy time
to secure work or good claims.
Among her passengers are several well
known men. Ex-Governor McGraw,
who for many years was president of
the First National Bank of Seattle, Gov
ernor of Washington for the four years
ending January last and later a candi
date for United States Senator to suc
ceed W. C. Squire, goes-to the Clondyke
to seek fortune. Gen. M. E. Carr, form
erly Brigadier-General of the State mi
litia and whose law practice is the larg
est in the Stale, is also a passenger. Capt..
A. J. Balliett, at one time Yale's greatest
oarsman and football player, leaves a
handsome law practice to seek gold on
the Yukon.
The departure of the Portland was a
sight worth going miles l to see. She was
-■eheduled to get away at 12 oclock. but
owing to one delay and another the time
slipped away until it was almost 4 oclock
before the last toot of the big whistle
was given and the lines were cast off
and taken aboard. There is always a
last accident. The steamer was just
beginning to feel the impulse of the
screw when a big trunk was hustled
through the crowd. It was doubtful if
it could be gotten aboard, and the inter
est of the crowd in the "last act" was
pronounced. Some bet $5 tnat the trunk
would fall Into the water and others
that it would go through to Dawson all
right. In the midst of the speculation
some thoughtful one on board shoved
a plank to the wharf and in a-second
two big 'longshoremen grabbed the trunk
and slid It over the water and It was
landed.
This being over the crowd paid atten
tion to the actual departure.
Every point of vantage on the Port
land was taken up and one acquainted
with a good percentage of the passen
gers had no trouble in picking out many
representative men. There were poli
ticians, attorneys, merchants, athletes,
sports and theatrical people. It Is an
actual fact that within the next two
months Dawson City will be supplied
with an "opera house" and one, if not
two newspapers. Owing to the fact that
newspapers cannot be sent to or from
that far-off place in the mall, the news
papers published there will be small
enough to put in ordinary letter envel
opes.
There was not much' cheering when
the steamer left the dock. Those on
board waved their handkerchiefs, held
out their hands and shook them at their
friends. One party of jolly gold hunters
were singing. On the wharf there-were
mothers, wives and sisters, sad at heart.
In many cases tears were flowing. The
sky was almost cloudless and as the
steamer got fairly under way a band
of doves circled near as if to bid her
Godspeed.
H. D. Wheeler and his-son-in-law, Ed
M. Culbertson. who went to the Clon
dyke last spring, have each written let
ters home to their wives, giving some
very important additional news of the
mines and of the trip. From the letters
It is learned that Thompson, a Nanaimo
miner, was accidentally shot by a com
panion and r.ow sleeps In a new-made
grave on the Yukon trail. Al Oldts is in
the party of Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Cul
bertson. Following is a part of Mr.
Wheeler's letter:
Dawson City, June 3, IS97.—We ar
rived In this beautiful city, consisting of
tents and shacks, the first day of June,
about 3 o'clock. We found everybody
out of grub; sold some bacon for $1 a
pound, butter $2 a pound; could have
sold all the provisions we had at the
same rates, but let a little go. However,
the boat came in today with a large
amount, so provisions will be somewhat
cheaper. The mines are something Im
mense. Suppos l ; nothing like it was ever
discovered before. Men that were dead
broke count their gold by the fifty and
one- hundred thousands. Everything is
taken so far as heard from.
We have not been here long enough to
decide what we shall go at, but will find
something to do. Wages were $15 a day
all winter and men worked all winter.
Everybody has money and all the busi
ness is done with gold duet or nuggets.
If a man buys a drink he takes out his
LOS ANGELES, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 23, J897
sack of gold and the bartender weighs
out the price. By the way, I have already
started my sack. I have some dust, also
a good sized nugget. We may lease a
mine or work a couple, of months before
prospecting."
The lettre from Mr. Culberson also
tells of the trip. He gives more particu
lars of the death of Thompson. He
says that one of the coal miners had
been "monkeying" with a 44-caliber
colt's revolver and shot Thompson In
the stomach. Thompson lived about
four hours and died at 4 a. m., Sunday,
May 15th.
Mr. Culbertson tells of a great strike
between the towns of Dawson City and
Clondyke City. They are on opposite
side 6of the Clondyke river. The Daw
son people call the rival town "Louse
town." Mr. Culbertson, goes on to say:
"We heard stories about the mines
that will scarcely be believed. One claim
washed 1 out over $150,000 in one day and
others as high as $90,000 and $100,000.
Some have had to clean up the boxes as
high as three times a day, but this clean
up does not represent one day's work,
but the wash for the whole winter.
"The Bonanza claims of course are all
taken up and the creeks where the rich
finds have been made are taken up clear
up to the top of the mountains, but we
hope to get hold of something that will
satisfy us before long, for there are as
good lish in the sea as ever were caught,
they say.
"Al will probably go up to 'Too Much
Gold' creek tomorrow and get a location
there. They had a stampede and I was
informed 1 by a friend; who was there
that there were claims located there by
men who were not entitled to them, and
that he would put me on to one."
THE FOOD QUESTION
SAN FRANCISCO, July 22— The
Alaska Commercial company's steamer
Bertha arrived from Oonala&ka today
with five hundred tons of concentrates
from the Apollo mine at Unga and a bar
of bullion from the same source, but
brought no gold from the Clondyke re
gion.
Captain Hayes, of the vessel, speak
ing of the- Clondyke boom, said that the,
facts that the gold fields are 2000 miles
from St. Michael's and that the difficul
ties of transportation are Innumerable
cannot too forcibly be impressed upon
intending prospectors. The newspapers
will be responsible for the loss of many
lives and a great deal of suffering and
hardship If they did not advise the pub
lice that the river Yukon, now that the
mountain torrents have ceased running.
Is very low and consequently much of
the 5000 tons of supplies now awaiting
transportation cannot possibly be con
veyed to their destination for some time.
Messrs. Sloss of the Alaska Commer
cial company are equally frank. One
of the firm said: "What we most fear
is that the excitement may cause many
' people to rush northward without prop
erly considering how they are to live
through the winter after they get there.
We have now about 5000 tons of provis
ions on the Yukon and are securing as
large additional quantities as possible,
but we are not able to say w r hether the
supply will be equal to the demand nor
when the supplies will reach their dcs
■ tination with any certainty. Thestern
; ' wheel steamer with which the Excelsior
is to connect will be the last to make the
! Yukon river trip this season. It WIT?
i reach Dawson City with a barge in tow
j about September ar.d must immediately
return, as the river usually freezes over
early In October.
"11 is for this reason principally that
we have declined to carry more than the
usual complement of passengers on the
Excelsior this trip. We could easily
have constructed accommodation for
another hundred but preferred to utilize
the space for supplies to fe*ed those al
ready there ar.d on the way."
STRIKES NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, July 22.—The World
says: The Clondyke gold fever has
reached this city. At all the ticket
agencies and railroad offices inquiries
are being made about rates.
"What will it cost to send my son to the
new gold fields?" a well dressed woman
| inquired of C. E. Lambert, the genera!
j passenger agent of the West Shore Rail
; road.
Mr. Lambert gave her the figures and
she promised to return.
"She is only one of a dozen who have
been to see us this week," said Mr. Lam
bert.
The first expedition from this city fo.
the Yukon gold fields will leave early
this week. The details have been ar
ranged at the office of former Judge
George Curtis. The party is to com
prise William H. Edwards, a young law
yer in Mr. Curtis' office, a son of Billy
Edwards of the Hoffman House; John
W. Edwards, a Brooklyn druggist; Dr.
James W. Broston of Brooklyn, and
Charles Edelman. a civil and mining en
gineer of this city.
In addition to scientific and gastro
nomical supplies furnished pro rata,
each man will put $1200 into a common
fund. Every detail has been carefully
arranged and all that remains to do y is
to engage passage on the Pacific coast
steamship Queen, which will sail from
San Francisco August 7. This will be
attended to by Judge Curtis, who Is in
the metropolis of California on legal
business. All supplies will be purchased
at San Francisco and the party will leave
the Queen at Juneau and go overland to
the Clondyke district.
Speaking to a reporter, one of the
members of the party said: "There Is
one thing in favor of the Yukon district
and that is yie abundant suppiy of fresh
fish. We will have plenty of fishing
tackle, and every article necessary to es
tablish a comfortable home. The doc
tor will look after our physical welfare.
Dr. Clark, too, is a pharmacist, and he
can compound the doctor's prescriptions.
We will have the best equipment experi
ence can suggest, and we shall be well
supplied with weapons to use in self
defense if necessary."
Dr. Edwards, who has visited Alaska,
has prepared a list of meats, saccharine
and farinaceous food products, together
with fresh and dried fruits and pickles.
To thi? will be added tea, coffee, choco
late, spices, etc., and the supply is based
on a total of seventy ounces of food for
each man daily.
"This amount," said Dr. Edwards
"maybe reasonably assured as the quan
tity necessary to the maintenance of i
man's perfect health in a latitude such
as the Yukon. We intend to take along
a good supply of spirituous liquors as
they will be of great value to us."
Each of the party is in excellent spirits
and confident of success.

The Night Filled With the Cries of
Dying People Whom Aid Could
Not Reach.
Associated Press Special Wire.
YOUNGSTOWN, 0., July 22.—At 7
o'clock tonight a terrific cloudburst
struck this town. Hooding the entire val
ley and causing great damage to prop
erty, both In theicity ar.d along the rail
road lines. Alany people are supposed to
be drowned. The entire county east ar.d
west for twenty miles was flooded and
the damagt will be norrr.ous, the rail
roads being the heaviest losers.
The Erie railroad west of Warren four
teen miles and north of Sharon for the
same distance, was entirely flooded, and
orders were Issued to discontinue a.i
trains. Many residences were flooded
and the occupants were taken away by
the police and fire departments.
On every railroad leading into the city
come reports of extensive washout and
bridges swept away and railroad officials
say the loss will be the heaviest they
have ever known.
At 10:30 tonight came the first tangible
evidence of the damage done by the
storm. Along Crab creek, running into
the city from the east, along the Lake
Shore ar.d Erie roads, and emptying into
the Mahoning near the Lake Shore de
pot, a cloudburst occurred about ten
miles out and the water did not begin to j
rise much in the city until after "9
o'clock. At about 10 o'clock the water
came down the valley Into the city and
formed into a flood, sweeping everything |
that was not fastened before It. The j
Crab creek was not twenty-five- feet wide
and the flood spread it out to about 2000
feet. It rose quickly and in less than
ten minutes the water was up to> the sec
ond stories- of all the dwelling houses in i
the flood district and was still rising.
It is a certainty at 11 o'clock that none
of the people escaped from the houses.
The whole district was covered with
darkness, except on small places where
an electric light shone. Ftrcrnen, police
and others were quickly out but were
I powerless to rescue anybody, as not a i
boat of any kind was to be had in that \
portion of the city. The cries of the
people in the houses were heartrending
to those who stood at the water's edge
and were forced to retreat slowly on
account of the gradually rising water.
Cries for help were heard continually,
but the crowd on the shore could do
nothing in the way of giving it. Police
and firemen went at once to another
part of the city after boats.
It was midnight before boats reached
the scene of the floods. The boats were
manned by firemen, who could not make
much progress on account of the swift
and dangerousi current. Nine families
were taken out of the second story win
dows within a half hour and many peo
ple were picked up clinging to debris.
Nothing definite will be known as to the
loss of life until tomorrow morning.
At midnight the water commenced to
recede rapidly and the creek will likely
be back in its natural course by morn
ing.
BEER STAMPS
A Strong Demand Pending Action on
the Tariff
WASHINGTON, July 22.—There has
been a heavy run on collectors of inter
nal revenue In all of the larger cities of
the country by brewers, who ate pur
chasing beer stamps In large quantities
at the 7% cents discount allowed under
existing law, in anticipation of the final
passage of the tariff bill, which repeals
the discount now allowed.
The requisition received from collec
tors yesterday w asthe largest in the
history of the bureau, aggregating over
$1,200,000, and today these figures have
been largely exceeded, the requisitions
aggregating $1,600,000. The policy of the
bureau has been to order statements of
all kinds only as fast as they were re
quired to meet requisitions and-maintain
a proper supply in the vaults, and no
steps were taken to prepare for any
such run as has developed. In conse
quence the supply of stamps in the
vaults is running very low and It has
been found necessary to cut down the
requisitions from collectors so that suffi
cient stamps might be kept on hand to
meet the legitimate demands of the
trade.
Would Prefer Earp
SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.—Representa
tives of George Dixon and Dal Hawkins
met today to select a referee for the light
tomorrow night. A number of names were
presented by both sides, the most prom
inent of which was Hiram Cook. A vote
was taken by the representatives of the
two pugilists and the club, which resulted
in the selection of Cook. This was made
known to Hawkins, who immediately re
plied that he would not light with Cook
acting as referee, as there had been some

HIS MUTINOUS CREW
DRIVES CAPTAIN STORMS BACK
TO PORT
The Ringleader Is Arrested, But Will
Wot Be Prosecuted on Account
of the Expense
SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.—The Brit
ish ship Comliebank, which sailed from
this port this morning for Rio de Ja
neiro with a cargo of wheat, returned
this afternoon with the police flag fly
ing. Shortly after the towboat cast off
Mate Marshall issued orders which the
sailors refused to obey. Capt. Storms
appealed to them, but was told by the
men that no work would be done until
the watches were set. This the captain
refused to do, and the sailors, under
the leadership of one Elliott, adjourned
to their quarters to discuss the matter.
Mate Marshall went to the forecastle to
reason with the men and was set upon
by Elliott and one or two other mem
bers of the crew and dreadfully beaten.
Capt. Storms went aft on hearing the
noise and was met by Elliott, who drew
a sheath-knlfe and ordered the captain
to hold off If he valued his life. Capt.
Storms again tried to reason with the
men, but was told that the vessel was
hound for an infectious port and that
the men had resolved not to go on the
trip. Capt. Storms ordered the ship
about and returned to San Francisco.
Elliott was placed under arrest, but
Capt. Storms will not prosecute, as the
proceedings would delay the sailing for
a long time.
Elliott arrived here on the steamship
Carrodoc from Calcutta and was ar
rested for Insubordination, but was re
leased. On the trip from Calcutta he
several times beat the mate almost to
death, and swore on several occasions
to kill the Carrodoc's captain and the
crew.

! WASHINGTON, July 22.—Shortly be
! fore the senate adjourned today Senator
i Allison, in charge of the tariff Bill, made
| a strong effort to, have a time fixed for
j the final vote on t;he tariff conference re
port. Failing in this, Mr. Allison gave
notice that the stession tomorrow Would
'be protracted with a view to secure a
vote. It was the first definite move
ment made thus far toward bringing the
debate to a clone. Allison's first propo
sition was for a vote at 5 oclock tomor
row, but this w as objected: to by Pettus
of Alabama. Then he proposed a vote
some time before adjournment tomor
row, which was objected to by Morgar*.
The suggest!' in of Saturday at 1 oclock
met with a like objection from Morgan.
The Alabama senator explained his last
objection by saying that he thought all
debate on the :report would be exhausted
tomorrow; thtit it was needless to make
an agreement In advance. Finding that
there was no disposition to reach an
agreement, Allison Anally gave notice
that hereafter, while the report was
pending the senate would not adjourn
at 5 oclock without an aye and nay vote.
The debate on the report today was
participated in by Senators Chilton.
Jones of Arkansas and Pettigrew, in
opposition, while Aldrich took frequent
occasions to defend the report against
the criticism of the senators.
The credentials of the new senator
from Tennessee, Thomas B. Turley, who
succeeds the late Senator Harris, were
presented to the senate by his associate.
Bate. Turk'.y was then escorted to
the vice president's desk, where the oath
of office was duly administered.
Tillman offered a resolution, releasing
the committeie on contingent expenses
from further consideration of the reso
lution for the investigation of alleged
senatorial sugar speculation. Before
anything could be said Jones of Nevada
presented a report from the committee
on the same resolution.. Tillman was
quickly on his feet asking that the report
be read.
Galllnger objected, the presiding officer
holding that a single objection was suf
ficient to prevent the reading.
Then Mr. Tillman moved that the re
port be rea-d. On a viva voce vote the
motion was lost and the resolution went
to the calendar.
Mr. Allison askea that the tariff con
ference report be taken up, but was met
with several measures which senators
desired to have hurried through in an
ticipation of the adjournment of con
gress. Without further delay the con
sideration of the tariff report was re
sumed.
Chilton of Texas took the floor for a
speech against the bill as a whole. .Con
cerning sugar, he said it was so cun
ningly devised as to make It difficult to
determine the benefits conferred. The
main point was as to the loss suffered by
the people, and after a calculation Chil
ton concluded that the sugar trust would
be enabled to charge the people 1 cent a
pound more for sugar than under the
present law. He said the agricultural
schedule ought to be taken as a "fraud
schedule," as It was designed to be de
ceptive. In connection with Chilton's
discussion of the agricultural schedule
Mr. Tillman was drawn into a vehement
argument on the benefit of an export
bounty on agricultural bounties. The
South Carolina senator declared that the
Imposition of such a bounty was the
most effective means of destroying the
entire protective system, for If the farm
er got one drop of blood into his mouth
he would want to "swallow the whole
carcass," and it would end In a scramble
overturning the whole system.
Proceeding, Chilton took up the Demo
cratic position on free raw material,
urging that raw wool and other raw
products were entitled to exactly the
same consideration as manufactured
woolen goods, but neither of them should
be benefited as against the interests of
the whole people. He said he would not
hold out to his constituents the delusive
hope that they were to receive a part of
the benefits of protection.
Chilton spoke for more than two hours
and received many congratulations as
he closed his remarks.
Jones of Arkansas followed in criticis
ing the bill In detail. He assorted that
there had been no fair and freeconfer
: ence. but a mere outward formality of
i conference which the s-nate out of self
respect ought to repudiate by rejecting
the report. The senator referred to the
full meeting of the conferees. Democrats
and Republicans, and related the futile
efforts of the Democratic conferees tose
\ cure a hearing.
Mr. Jones asserted that It was the first
time in the history of the country that
such arbitrary action had been taken by
a conference committee.
"Vote it down," suggested Mr. Allison.
"The report is a mere recommendation
to the senate."
"Yes," declared Mr. Jones, "the senat»
owes it to its dignity to respect the re
: port."
Aldrich, one of the Republican con
-1 ferees, interrupted to say that the course
of this conference committee was the
same that every conference committee
had followed.
Aldrich declared that Republican sen
ators were responsible for the pending
bill and it was to be expected that
i amendments by Democratic conferees
would not be engrafted on the bill.
Jones insisted that the course of the
