OLD DAYS
GOLD DAYS
Now Bid Fair to Come
Again
THE RUSH TO THE CLONDYKE
AN INSTANCE OP REPEATED
HISTORY
Men Sell All That They Have for Pas
sage Trusting to Luck to Es
icape Starvation
SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.—The de
sire of the gold-struck throng for the
rich diggings in the Clondyke district re
sembles for all the world the craze of
easterners to reach California in. the
days of old and the days of gold. There
is little or no method, in this longing of
the masses to reach the El Dorado in the
great unknown territory of the north
west. People who have had no experi
erice in mining or have undergone none
of the hardships incident to such a
Journey as will follow a trip to the Yu
kon country are clamoring for passage
and straining every nerve to secure the
funds necessary to make the trip. Many
are making sacrifices in order to visit
the country that promises so much.
Every steamship office in the city is
literally overrun with people seeking in
formation concerning the Clondyke
country. Those who have the money
have not hesitated to pay for the pas
sage, trusting irj many instances to
good luck to give them food on which to
subsist during the coming winter. The
Excelsior, which leaves on Wednesday
next, has a full passenger list, but big
bonuses are being offered every day for
a berth on the vess-el.
The steamer Umatilla left this morn
ing for the north with 290 passengers and
a full cargo of provisions. She left for
Port Townsend, where she connects
with the City of Topeka, sailing direct
to Juneau. The owners of the Umatilla
have applied to Inspector of Hulls and
Boilers Bermir.gham for permission to
carry all the passengers that the vessels
owned by the company will hold. The
Topeka, which is scheduled to leave Se
attle early next week, has already more
passengers than is permitted by law.
camn ip *mc- of (Via nonrtro W "Flel#-1
people arfaeatfle are begging the steam
ship company officers to provide them
with transportation.
More people are anxious to go to Alas
ka and the Yukon country than can pos
sibly be accommodated at the present
time. It is believed by many that the
vessels now fitting at San Francisco and
destined for Dawson City by way of St.
Michael's will never reach the former
place. The river begins to freeze about
September 10, and it is not possible for
vessels leaving San Francisco after
August 1 to reach Dawson City for at
least five or six days after the extreme
cold sets in.
A WILD RUSH
SEATTLE, Wash., July 25.—N0 great
er crowd ever assembled on the wharves
of Seattle than that which witnessed the
departure of the steamer Mexico for
Dyea this morning. On the Mexico were
283 passengers who left to seek their for-
tunes in the Clondyke district. The ad
vertlsed time of sailing was 9 oclock,
but it was considerably after 12 before
she left the wharf. Long before that
time the wharf was completely blocked
with people who were on hand to witness
the departure and the crowd spread out
along the wharves and docks to the
north for nearly a mile. At a conserva
tive estimate fully 8000 people were on
the wharves, twice as many as had as-
semb'.ed to bid adieu to any preceding
steamer, showing that far from abating
the Clondyke fever is more-virulent than
ever. In addition to her passengers, the
Mexico carried some 1800 tons of freight
consisting almost entirely of the outfits
ot the gold seekers. She has also on
board forty-eight horses and one burro,
to be used in packing these suppliesover
the Chilkoot pass from Dyea to Lake
Linderman.
The steamers Rosalie and Edith have
been chartered by Frank E. Barnes to
make trips to Dyea and Skagaway, leav
ing here July 31. The Rosalie will carry
200 passengers with their freight, while
the Edith will carry seventy-five head of
horses.
It is intended to have the vessels re
turn In twelve days for another voyage.
Should the business justify, the Rosa
lie may be continued permanently on. the
run. Fares are the same established by
the companies now carrying to those
points and no cut is anticipated so long
as the present rush continues.
TARIFF TROUBLES
SAN FRANCISCO, July 25 —The Pa
cific Coast Steamship people are consid
erably exercis.ed over the action of the
treasury department in making Dyea a
sub-port of entry, which they claim was
done at the request of the Canadian Pa
cific company, through the Dominion
government. The Canadian Pacific
company operates a line of steamers be
teween Victoria and Juneau and asked
to have United States customs officers
placed on board their boats, which they
wanted to run through to Dyea direct.
These officers were to collect duties and
thus obviate the necessity of landing
cargoes at Juneau. The treasury de
partment went even, further and made
Dyea a sob-port of entry. The local
steamship people say this will turn the
gold hunters from the east to the Cana
dian route, to the Injury of the local
lines.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 25.—The
schooner Stella Erland from Cook's In
let July 7th, arrived hero; at 4 oclock to
day with nine passengers. She brings
down J7OOO in gold dust from the placers
being worked on creeks emptying Into
the inlet. Three hundred men wintered

LOS ANGELES, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 26, 1897
mer all have done well. Seventy-five
claims are being worked on Link and
Mills creeks. Returns are reported from
these claims of $10 to $40 per day per
man. One claim on Link creek, owned
by a man named Smith, cleared up as
high as $100 a day to a man for a brief
time.
Wages are $3.25 to $3.50 a day.
Fifty men qf a party which went from
California on a co-operative mining
scheme at Coal bay abandoned their
work at that point and came over to
Cook's Inlet about July Ist. When the
Erland left all of them were working for
wages.
None of the Erland' spassengers had
heard of the strikes on the Clondyke usr
til their arrival in this city,
WELL SUPPLIED
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., July 25.—
Two thousand people stood on Union
dock here at 5 oclock waving adieus to
friends leaving on the steamer Mexico
for the miners' Mecca, the Clondyke.
The steamer left here with 400 passen
gers, all except fifty being bound for the
gold fields. All went well provisioned
; and equipped. Many have supplies for
a three years' stay. The party was made
up of men representing all callings and
professions. Young, middle-aged men
and many veterans who
joined the similar rush to the gold fields
in California nearly half a century ago.
GONE AFTER GOLD
SACRAMENTO, July 25.—Ben Bul
lard, a lawyer and miner, and Frank
Jackson, also a miner, left here tonight
for Seattle en route to the Clondyke
gold region by way of Juneau and the
lakes. Richard Falkenberg and Frank
White will leave tomorrow and join
them at Portland. The party will be
well provided with everything required
for the trip.
Nashville Exposition
NASHVILLE, Term., July 25.—The
last week in July promises to be one of
the most successful In the history of the-
exposition and there is every reason to
believe that the attendance will be large.
Wednesday night will witness the bom
bardment of Fort Surrfter. A minia
ture fort has been built on an island in
the lake for the occasion. Thursday,
Friday and Saturday have been set
apart for the Jubilee festival, and no ef
fort is being overlooked to make this
musical festival one of the most attract
ive productions ever given in the south.
On Thursday scenes from Cavalleria
Rusticana and other famous operas will
be given. On Friday patriotic songs of
all nations will be on the program, and
on Saturday the Jubilee festival will
close with a grand production of Innes'
famous spectacular "War and Peace."
TOPEKA, Kan., July 25.—A move
ment Is on foot among the insurance
superintendents of the western states to
join hands in a wholesale investigation
of the financial condition of the various
eastern fire and life insurance compan
ies. It Is said that already things have
progressed to that point that an investi
e-ation is nssured. Superintendent Mo
ment, whose fight on eastern Insurance
companies has brought him into promi
nence, is one of the prime movers, and
it was thought that this Information be
came public today. The object Is two
fold. One is for the protection, of west
ern policy holders and the other Is to
try and find some irregularity in the
management of the big eastern concerns.
Turkish Troubles
CANEA, Crete, July 25.—Djeveed
Pasha, the special Turkish commissioner
sent to Constantinople to mediate be
tween the Mussulmans and' the admirals
of the international fleets for autonomy
for Crete, visited the admirals unofficial
ly today and they returned, his visit. In
the eyes of the Christian inhabitants of
the island the fact that Djeveed Pasha
was permitted' to land is a blow to the
prestige of the great powers, and tho
Cretans have already sent delegates to
Admiral Canavaro, commanding the
combined fleets, notifying them that
they will decline to entertain proposals
for autonomy so long as Djeveed Pasha
cf. the. Turkish- troops remain, in. the
island.
The Summer Camp
PACIFIC GROVE, Cal., July 25.—The
regular annual gathering known as the
"summer encampment," began at this
place today. It is conducted by the min
isters and elders of the M. E. church of
California and under the direct super
vision of the presiding elder of the dis
trict. Rev. John D. Coyle, D. D., of Los
Gatos, president of the encampment,
opened a series of sermons and lectures
for the week, preaching both morning
and evening. Some of the meet promi
nent clergymen of the Pacific coast will
be present during the week. As the out
ing is mainly one for rest and recrea
tion, there will be no day exercises.
Havana Prisoners
HAVANA, July 25.—Gen. Ruiz Rivra,
the insurgent leader, who, with his chief
of staff, Col. Ballo, was captured in
March last after having been seriously
wounded, has recovered from the effects
of his wound and illness from which he
suffered when he was removed from the
hospital to the Cabanas fortress today.
It was found, not to be necessary to per
form an operation for the re-moval of
the tumor from which Gen. Rivera suf
fered.
Lewis May Buried
NEW YORK, July 25.—Lewis May,
the retired banker, was buried today
from the Temple Emanuel. The syna

pressive service. The interment was at
Salem Fields, Brooklyn.

WHEELING, W. Va., July 25— E. V.
Debs will be the first of the labor leaders
arriving In Wheeling to attend the con
ference of executive officers of the vari
ous labor organizations of the country,
called by President Ratchford to con
sider ways and means to bring success
to the coal strike. He comes from Fair
mont Monday afternoon.
Advices received by the local labor
leaders are to the effect that nearly all
the executive officials of national labor
organizations will come to Wheeling for
Tuesday's conference. As to the out
come, there is much uncertainty, though
it is claimed the result will be the call
ing upon the firemen, brakemen and con
ductors to refuse, to haul cars handling
West Virginia coal. There is no hope of
ability to have the railway engineers
join this movement; in fact, the engi
neers will not be represented at the con
ference.
MARCHING MINERS
PITTSBURG, July 25.—The mine-ope
rators at yesterday's conference claimed
they had unmistakable proof that the
Illinois strikers had sent about fourteen
delegates here to agitate a strike in all
of tho important mines. The delegates
came quietly and dealt with the dele
gates selected by the several mines to
the convention only.
The strong argument the agitators
used with the Kansas miners was that
the Kansas men hold the key of the situ
ation westward; that if Kansas went out
the railroads would bring the- operators
to time.
The operators say it will make no dlf
-000 men, goes or stays, but the miners
see in the extra work and storing of coa l
going on, a desire on the part of the ope
rators to fortify themselves against a
strike. There are also suspicions that
coal from Kansas mines is to be. smug
gled Into strike territory.
PITTSBURG, Pa., July 24.—Sixty dep
uty sheriffs have been ordered out and
are now (midnight) at the Union station
waiting orders to move. Their-destina
tion is kept a profound secret, but it is
supposed they are to be sent to the mines
of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company. But as the strikers' officers
declare the contemplated march has
been abandoned, no conflict is feared.
Another march on Cannonsburg was be
gun tonight. A big meeting of the miners
was held at Reisir.g this afternoon. They
were Informed that the Allison mine in
tended to resume work this morning and
in a very short time it was decided to
make another tramp and reinforce the
100 strikers who have been on guard.
They will remain until Tuesday morning.
There was a great hurrying to and fro
in all the mining settlements in that
section before the sun went down. Every
man decided to take two days' rations.
Women, as has been the case during the
present strike, were among the most ac
tive agitators. They were advising their
husbands and sweethearts to take- an
other tiresome trip across the- country
in order that their conditions might be
bettered.
DEBS' MEETINGS
FAIRMONT, W. Va., July 25.—Eugene
V. Debs held three good meetings at the
various mines today and is confident
that the men will be gotten out .although
he will not say he expects the move to-
morrow. The general impression is that
if the break is not made> tomorrow It
will not be made at all. Today the ope
rators succeeded in keeping any of their
.men from the meetings, and it looks easy
to keep them in the mines. Mahon left
this afternoon for Clarksburg, where he
and Rhea addressed a good meeting.
All the mines are guarded by deputies
and no men are allowed on the compan
ies' grounds. A body of organized men
will stay at the different mines tonight,
and a herculean effort is to be made to
induce the men not to go to work to-
■ morrow morning. Rumors of all kinds
are afloat tonight, but no trouble is ex
pected. Tomorrow will certainly settle
the strike one way or another, so far as
this region Is concerned.
Later—lt was learned that the depu
ties were supplied with Winchester rifles
and dispatched to the New York and
Cleveland company's mines. The re
quest for deputies, it is said, came from
Mr. De Armitt, who received word that
a large body of men were marching to
ward the mines, coming from the direc
tion of McKeesport and the Youghio
gheny district. Nothing more definite
than the- above is known here.
THE MINERS' MEETING
CLARKSBURG, W. Va., July 25.—The
miners' meeting advertised for today
has proved a great success from the
miners' standpoint. On every train
scores of miners arrived. About 500
miners and double that number of citi-
Zens listened to the speeches. J. W.
Rea of Chicago, vice president of the
Painters and Decorators' union, spoke
of the benefits derived from organized
labor.
W. D. Mahon, president of the National
Street Car union, stated that if this
strike was lost it would be on account
of West Virginia miners, and 1 that a
general boycott would be declared
against all West Virginia coal in the
United States.

PHILIPPINE REBELS
NOT SUBDUED IN SPITE OF THE

A Disinterested Observer Believes
That Spain Will Never Quell
the Insurrection
SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Among
the passengers on the steamer China
from the Orient was H. D. Levinsohn.
the representative in New Zealand of
one- of the largest cigar factories in. Ma
nila. Mr. Levinsohn has just come from
Manila, where, he says, the Insurrection
of the natives is still In progress.
"From present indications and from
what I could learn during my sojourn in
Manila," he said, "the Spanish authori
ties will never be able to subdue the in
surrectionists. It is common report In
Manila that the papers are rot allowed
to print the truth. They are all under
| press censorship. It was credibly re
j ported in the city shortly after a recent
engagement that the natives had killed
j sixty of the Spanish soldiery and lost
only two of their number. As soon as
, the rainy weather sets [n, which will be
very shortly, you may hear some fur
ther reports of hostilities and the vic
tories will be all on the side of the rebels.
A regiment of Spanish soldiers came
into Manila from the interior during my
stay in the city and' they were the sad
dest lot of men I ever saw. Some of them
wore shoes and others did not. Many
were without hats and all were more or
less distressd for want of proper cloth
ing and food."

WASHINGTON, July 25.—The extra
ordinary session of congress, which has
Just closed, was called by President Mc-
Kinley two days after he took oath of
office on the steps of the capitol. It
met in pursuance to his proclamation at
noon on March 15.
The special message transmitted by
him to both houses on the opening day
was brief. It explained the deficiencies
in the revenues, reviewed the bond is
sues of the last administration and
urged congress promptly to correct ths
then existing condition by passing a
tariff bill that would supply ample reve
nue, support the government and ths
liquidation of the public debt.
No other subject of legislation was
mentioned in the message, and tha
tariff has been the all-absorbing feature
of the session. The Republican mem
bers of the ways and means committee
of the preceding houses had been at work
throughout theshortsessionwhlch ended
on March 4th, giving hearings and pre
paring the bill which was to be submit
ted to the extra session.
Three days after the session opened
the tariff bill was reported to the house
by the ways and means committee, and
thirteen days later, March 31, it passed
the house. It went to the senate, wa3
referred to the committee on finance, and
the Republican members of that commit
tee spent a month and three days in Its
consideration and preparing the amend
ments which were submitted to the
senate on May 7. Exactly two months
later, July 7, it passed the senate with
872 amendments.
The bill then went to conference,
w bono. » ten days' struggle, on Juiy
17th, a complete agreement was reached
by which the senate receded from 18
amendments and the house from 511. The
other 243 were compromised. The con
ference report was adopted by the house
on July 19th at the conclusion of 12
hours' continuous debate.
The report was taken up in the senata
on July 20 and adopted on July 24th. The
tariff bill was signed by the president
the same day.
Congress did not devote its session en
tireiy to the tariff, although it did sub
ordinate everything else to this ons
measure. The. four appropriation bills
which failed, on March 4th last, would, In
themselves, have compelled President
McKinley to call congress, in extra ses
sion even if a necessity for a revision
of the tariff had not existed. The ap
general deficiency. Those bills were
introduced and passed, by the house in
three new battleships to $300 a ton and
in case of the secretary of the navy find
ing it Impossible to make contracts for
armor within the price fixed he was au
thorized by this provision to take steps
to establish a government armor-plate
and machinery suitable for the factory
In. the Indian bill, after a severe strug-'
gle in both houses, the question of sec
tarian schools wes settled by the follow
ing declaration of the policy of the gov
ernment:
••That the secretary of the interior may
make contracts with contract schools
apportioning as near as may be the
amounts contracted for among schools
of various denominations for the educa
tion of Indian pupils during the fiscal
year 1898, but shall only make such con
tracts at such places as non-sectarian
schools cannot be provided for such
Indian children, and to an amount not
exceeding 40 per cent of the amount so
used for the fiscal year of 1895."
The question of opening to entry ths
Gilsonite deposits in the Uncompahgre
reservation was also compromised by
opening such agricultural lands as have
not been allotted to the Uncompahgre
Indians, on April 1, 1898, to entry, but
reserving to the United States title to
all lands containing gilsonite, asphalt or
like substances.
In the sundry civil bill the most im
portant new provision was that sus
pending the order of President Cleve
land setting aside about 21,000,000 acre*
as forest reservations. The law also in
cludes a general scheme of legislation
for the government and protection for
the forest reservations of the country.
The Republican leaders of the house de
cided at the opening of the session to
pursue a policy of inaction in order to
throw the responsibility for delaying
the tariff bill upon the senate and there
fore the committees were not announced
until the close of the session and only
urgent measures were considered. Fifty
thousand dollars were appropriated for
the relief of American citizens in Cuba
at the suggestion of the president; $200,
--000 was appropriated for the relief of
the Mississippi flood sufferers. A reso
lution was passed authorizing the sec
retary of the navy to transport supplies
contributed for the relief of the starving
in-India and $50,000 was appropriated for
the entertainment and expenses of the
delegates to the universal postal con
gress, which met in this city. The only
pieces of general legislation enacted by
this congress except the tariff bill are
the laws to prevent collisions at sea. and
to place in force regulations to prevent
collisions In certain harbors, rivers and
inland waters of the United States; and
the bill authorizing the president to sus
pend discriminating duties on foreign
vessels and commerce.
