WARNING FROM AN OFFICIAL Secretary Goge Hecelves a Letter Describing: the Mud Rush for the Kloudike Hundreds Sure to Per Ish at SKnguny uud Cliilcoot De imrtuient ITrged to Stop thy llut.li. Secretary Gagii has received a Is tter from an official whose responsibility Js unques tioned, concerning the condition of tlie Klondike region and the great suffering that is sure to come. The letter read as follows: "Dyea, Aug. 22, 1897. "1 deem it my duty to write you on u subject that does not come strictly within my line of duty, and it trenches somewhat upon tne f unci ions of the Treasury De partment I have had a long talk with Mr. Ivey, collector of customs for Alaska, wno Is at pmsent at Skaguay, three milled below here. The Skaguay trail is the most largely used overland route (though by no means the best) to the Klondike: Mr. Ivey informs me thao there are now between tide water and the lake soine hing like 4,000 people and about 2,000 horse.1. "The couimandsr of one ot the vessels now at Pkaguay stales that sixteen ves sels are chartered to land cargoes at that piace betweeu now and the 15th of Sep li-in'ier, ami that t"e number or panvngers will average 200 to each vessel, making 3.200 more people who will alCempt to go in this. fall. I have talked with some of the most experienced traders and miners In t'.lh vicinity, and they ure unanimous In the pred'elion that not over 20 per cent of this vast number will get through to Daw son before winter sets in. The other 80 per cent will be caught on tne tra-i, ana those who survive and get back to tide va'.er VM11 have to winter at Skaguay or relurn south. It the rush continues two weeks longer hundreds, will iuevitably perlfh on -he trail, which is extremely dangerous after the 1st of October. "The postmaster and Indian trader at this place (Mr. Heron) states that more than 1,000 men have gone up the Chllcoot I'asb miring the past thirty days, and that 70'J ot them aro still this side ot the lake (twenty-four miles from here). Ves sels are arriving every day or two, and at t be present rate of influx another thou sand will enter the trail by September 10. Mr Heron ir. of the opinion that not more than twenty out of a hundred will get throiigh. cad he says this trail Is far more dangerous than the Skaguay after the snows, set in. "He says if the riish continues another week the resullAut loss of life will be appalling. I attach the greatest weight to wnat he says, for the reason that it Is to his pecuniary interest to have as many as possible come this way; yet he advises an immediate stoppage or the htamiiede. It is diflicult to Miggest a way to stop this itrusu of people, but Mr. Ivey inti mates that If the inspection rules of the Trc.isurj Ilepirtment were properly en forced it would materially decrease the number or pKasengers on the Incoming ves sels. "Nearly every -vessel tlut arrives here brings twice as many pa.sseng2rsas the law allows it to carry, and many of thein j.re condemned craft which have been fitted up for thj.s trade. "Mr. Ivey will no doubt at once present the facts outlined above to the proper au thorities and I merely give them to you for your information. The situation is appalling, and it is Impossible for me adequately to describe the mad rush for the gold field". I hud no conee"i-tIon of iti immensity until I saw. "I have talked with several men who have recently arried here from the Klon dike, two of whom left there less than thirty days ago. Tliey unanimously agree that, while there is a rich gold field there. t!'c facts uo not justify the present stam pede, and they say there is bound to be much suffering and actual starvation. Provisions are already scarce, and the prices ot many articles absolutely pro hibltory Ik the case of a man of ordinary means. "Mj usual good luck has attended me here. Mr. Ilpron, the postmaster, is an old Montana frieud. and he has made it pos sible for me to go forward by Indian car riers at the prevailing rate 37 cents per pound-taking .precedence over hundred.-, many if whom have been here two or three weeks, awaiting their turn. He assures me he can make the way easy for me at the lake, in securing a boat, etc. So I feel comfortably sure of going right through. "Thejnail facilities are very bad here, as the Postofilce Department lias not made nnv allowance for the rapid growth of postal business. The postal authorities here are powerless to cope with the mass of mail matter, and I have doubts as to whether this letter will reach its destina tion. 1 am forced to close this letter to catch a boat which is about to leave, and I am leaving unsaid some things which I shall have to Include in my next letter." Secictary Gage saiu he did not care to make public the offlf-ial's name, b-it that he knew him to be a tboioughly reliable man, and the Hecietary believes the repre sentations in the letter are true. lie said he intended to do all that he possibly could to lessen the suffering that is inevi table. He will probanly find some law to wairant him in preventing the overcrowd ing of steamers and will also endeavor to ascertaiu if a way can be provided which will facilitate the transportation of food to those wlu will need It. ' Appointed by the President. The President has announced the follow ing appointments: Zep'iur M. Mansur, collector of customs for the district of Memphremagog, Vt. Olin Merrill, collector of customs, dibtrict ot Vermont, Vermont. Commander Royal B. Bradford, chief of the Euieau of Equipment, U. S. N., with relative rank of commodore. rhillp Hicbborn, reappointed chief con struc-tor of the Navy, with relative rank of commodore. William N Mc-Kelvey, first lieutenant, Marine Corps. Gorman Visits Secretary Gne. One of Secretary Gage's visitors yes terday was Senator Gorman. The call was a pleasant one, and after it was over the Senator conversed for a while with the newspaper men present. He declined, however, to talk politics and confined his remarks to social and pleasant affairs. Had Catarrh. 36 Years. Josiah Bacon, conductor on the P. W. & B. R. R., says. "I bad suffered with catarrh for 36 years and regarded my case as hopeless. One day I saw the testimonial of Geo. H. Heani in a Braz ilian Balm circular. Hearn was the engineer on my train and I knew his case was desperate. I talked with Hearn and his cure gave me hope. I began the use of the Balm at once. There was not much change for the firsttwo months but then I began to improve and in six months, to my inexpressible satisfaction, I was entirely cured." A CIVIL SEKVTCR ORDER. Rnles Governing Promotion Ex iimlmitioiu;.

BUILDING TRADES'' SMOKER Brawny Sons of Toil Enjoy an Evening of Jolly. refitting and Speecliumking Indulged und it Poem Rend Conuneniornt lug a Great Event. The smoker given last evening by the Building Trades Council at Electrical Workers' Hall was a decided success, and all who attended had a jolly good time. Hesldea tne delegates from unions di rectly affiliated with the council there were other bodies represented .among which were members of Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101; President Hoy Carroll, of the local 1'ederation, and other mem bers ot the latter organization. The council was culled to order promptly at 8 o'clock by PreMdent Silver, hut adjourned in order that- the members might take purt in the eoclal feature ot the evening The tocial function was in th hands of President V. H. Maghan, if tne Bricklayers' Union; William Silver, J. A. BarKley, U. Held, and Henry Hogerty, who saw to it that the gueats of the council had plenty ot the best. Besides the a irangement committee Mr. J. M Poyce, ex-sscretary of the Hoard of Federation Council, and William Patter son, of the Electrical Workers, better known as "Little Willie," and 0 P. Cox, con stituted tlu-mselves as a corps of wait ers am! kept the visitors-well supplied with eveiything on tho bill of fare, from a pipe and tobacco to other things. The delegates to the Central Labor Union who were present joked President Silver in a friendly way on tlie result of the tug of war between their orginization and the Building Trades Council at IUver View on Labor Day, but the climax was reached when Mr. Standley read the following, composed foi the occasion by Mr. Spohn, president of the Central Labor Pulon. 'Tis said to be In the swim -when the tide is full, Is the proper thing for the proper fellow to be, Put when it comes to a proper pull They are not in it-B. T. C. On the sward at River View they met But1 the sward was "mud;" Next followed a rang In Irish by Mr..

He was glad df the prlvi hege and honor of addressing life delegates of the Building Trades Council. Prei-!d?nt Spohn, of the Central' Lai or Union, spoke for unJHcdtion and solidifica tion of the labor forces, and predicted that the time will come when the innuence of organized labor will be felt. Mr. Patterson, ot the Electrical Workers' Union, was next called on. aiid made a routing speech for trades unionism. The Civil Service Law. To the Editor of The Times: ,1! Your is-sue of Sunday contained a com munication entitled "The Civil Service Order." The gist of the article, elab orately written, is that Congress, in the enictment of the law, conferred the power of appointmenton the heads of departments; and, by inference, the power of removal. In a question ol law it Is dangerous to accept anything by inference. The civil service law is explicit enough not to mis lead, so that he who runs may read. In the enac' meat of this law Congi ess placed the same, power In the hands of the Presi dent, to regulate the civil service as he cxerr ises in all other matters for the public- weal. The heads or departments are necc.isarily his creatures, and are re sponsible to him for their acts. It is under his authority that appointments are made In the departments, by legislative act; and, under the operation of 'the same law, removals are also made. T)ie preparation and examination of candidates for office by the Civil Service Commission, und their certification to the heads of departments, Is nottheonly duty to be performed by this ImportatiD bureau. Its duty, after certi fying a successful candidate, is to protect nim in all his rights as a man, and as an employeoftheGovernment. To acknowledge. the r'ght of an executive officer to remove at his pleasure the employes of the Govern ment, properly certified by the commission, is simply to abrogate or nullify the law, and again opens the door to the spoils sys tem. The effectof such a system, by which the power and authority of the President Ip set at naught' forces a conflict between him. and his subordinates. The state ment made, that "there is power in the heads of departments, but not In the Presi dent nor the Civil Service Commission, to appoint and remove." is-grossly Inc5nsist ent. To argue further, in the line of refu tation of an impracticable theory, as set forth in the article referred to, is giving the matter undue prominence. The rightof the President in approving the amendment of rule 2, promulgated by the Civil Service Commisalon, prohibiting removals except for cause, to be stated and adjudicated -as a case must be in a law court, cannot be questioned. It was never the intention of Congress to establish by any law two sets of executive officers. It was never the intention of Congress to establish by any law two sets of executive officers. Itwas never the intention of Congress to make the Civil Service Commission merely an examining board. It was never theinten tion of Congiess to invest the heads or departments with autocratic power, by which they have the right -to act Inde pendently of the Chief Executive of the nation It was never the intention of Con gress to reduce the lerk air" other em ploye of the Government to a state of t.ervihty which would cause,bini tho loss of his manhood and deprive him of the right or self- justification before his fellow man. There is no grasp for power mani fested by the Civil Service Commission in Its persistence to exercise the right given It by Congress to find goodhnaterlal for service in the Government offices, and to protect such people against the enemies ot civil service. , D. A. B. AN ACTIVE STOCK MARKET Many Evidences of Extraordinary Excitement and Feverish u ess. TrudlnpfD'seroses Extensive LlrinMi" tion uud Manipulation to Cause u Lower linage of Prices. Nejv York, Sept. 7.--PolknvIng upon the two days' ccKsaiion of business, trading was resumed upon the stock exchange today on an animated scale. There was a natural interest taken in tin; course ot the London stock market orertlis holiday, particularly Id the American department, and when re was seen that decided gains had btcn nmdj tlure, a very lively opening was anticipated. These expectations wen.- fully realized, the initial dealings lielutr unusually active, with many evi dences of extraordinary excitement and t e crishuess. The only contributions in tho way of news over the holidays were the state ment oi earnings made up in the meantime by a large number of companies and the outbreak of yellow fever in Mississippi. The mprket after the opening dealings developed pronounced irregularity, the trading disclosing not only extensive liqui dation, but also evident manipulation designed to bring about a lower range of prices. The last feature of the dealings was ostensibly based upon tlie outbreak of yellow iecer already referred to, al though tuis argument for a reaction-could imrdly have been advanced in good faith wlifii the season of the year and the lo cality of the epidemic- are taken luto ac count On the other hand, the heavy pur chases made here by houses with Euro pean connections were also regarded with some suspicion as to their authenticity, the more so as the American division was the only firm feature ot the London market and an advance in the discount rate of the Im perial Bank ot Germany was thought to foreniiad'jw similar action this week by the It-ink of England. An advance in Balti more and Onto was accounted for by the covering of a long standing short interest, although even that company cannot fall tc benefit by the changed continuing, so appirent 'n the traffic returns of the roads of the country at large. In the final deal ings a firmer tone developed in the general market, and the rece?slona ot the forenoon were to a large extent. The bond market was not relatively as active as thj stock market, as the dealings there were rather featureless. Xew York Mccit aiiu-ket. Corrected dally by W.B. IHbbs & Co Bankers and Brokers.

Co !f3s 'jbfi 95 0o After the holiday, filled as the news papers have been with bullish news and vie ws.lt was nn tural that yesterda y's open ing on the New i'ork Stock Exchange should be high, with an accumulation of buying orders. Their effect was supple mented by the buoyancy of American stocks in Loudon and by the apparently nger purchasing of stocks in New York by the Toreign representatives a condition of things that there has been very little of for some time past. The high opening was followed by efforts to liquidate, in which the bears made the very 11 tie news of yellow fever worth far more than its actual Importance. After this early re cession in prices the market became steady, and there was a tendency .nearly every where to recover the loss. Theresultof the day's business was fairly satisfactory, as although the later upward movement did not regain all of the early loss, the whole ay was high compared with Saturday's close. The grangers were strong, especially Burlington, and there is a good prob ability that they will go higher today. As to other seclious of die market, dis cretion hardly allows any prediction. There is very little to base belief on, ex cept as to the general proposition that the market has still a tendency upward. The St. Joe and Grand Island shows an increase in earnings for the third week of August of $18,5000. The Atchi son statement was not given out yesterday and will not be today. It Is not expected berore next Monday. The earnings of the Chesapeake and Ohio .for the fourth week of 4ugust show an increase ot $41,511. For the month the increasa was $140,650. From July 1 the increase was $255,000. ONE OF TWO WAYS, The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways The first way Is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other diseases. CniEF CAUSE. Unhealthy mine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause ol bladder troubles. So the womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except In rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder; therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, Lack, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness cr womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble.

For the month the Increase has been $120,152. Since July 1 the in crease has been $288,000. The talk about Louisville and Nashville is still exceedingly bullish The friends of the road aro talking 70 for it shortly. Town Topics' financial bureau says of the ftock: It matters not what the tem porary fluctuations in Louisville and Nash ville may be, the stock is destined to sell ver much higher in the almost immedi ate future. The Belmont party is very bulilsn upon the property. Mr. Carley, of Carley, Stokes & Co., Is veiy bullish on St. Paul and Burlington. He says It is the best pureliase of the lot, and th.it he regardh ic as about a cer tainty that the road will pay an extra dividend of 1 per cent. Mr. Carley sayd the luBlders on St. Paul bought heavily yes terday through Uouainan and sold through their own brokers to fool the bear. Laden burg, Thalmann fc Co. also believe Bur lington fctrong and a good buy. The price of domestic refined Sugar, all grades buCNo. 4, were advanced 1-10 yes terday, and higher prices are still expect ed. It is thought In the crowd that tho Sugar dividend will be acted on today, but I have Information that I consider the best, that there will be no extra. There should be a small aiH.ince now goodfora couple of points and then a recession just beforu the declaration ot dividends Sugar Is going higher, as I have persistently prophe sied, but not much for some time to come. The buying in Northern Pacific pre ferred continued persistently yesterday. It had all the signs ot being pool buying rather than drdlnary commission demand. There mems to be a strong clique at work, and the prediction of higher prices imme diately Is made by iuslders. Dow, Jones&Co.,sayotNortharn Pacific: "The principal reason for the advance in Northern Pacific is a belief that the decision in regard to discriminating duties will be in favor ot that company as com pared with Canadian lines. Buying comes from interests which have been prominent in other speculative movements, and the statistics in the case encourage other buy ing. Northern Pacific has hung for a long time within a narrow range, and such -ondltions usually foreshadow a move of some importance. People who bought the stock Saturday predicted that Northern Pacific would sell at 5T this week. Mr. A. A. Housman, whose part In this great boom of the last months lias beeu such an Important one, said on Saturday to a Boston reporter: "Tl.e shrewd Standard Oil people were the first to appreciate the fact that the country was about to enter an era of pros perity to be reflected in due time in higher stock market prices, and they acted accordingly. They are carrying enormous lines of securities, much of which was paid for and taken out ot the street weeks ago. They have not yet taken their profits. The biggest business Interests of the coun try arc in the market today. I know of i'u Instance where 52.U00 shares of Sugar and ufc.ono of St. Paul were paid for and takn oat of the market by one large in terest. Wheat will sell at $1 and stay there. I also look for a blg rise In cot ton. The demand for this commodity, not witr.cranding the enormous crop, will send the price up to 8 or 9 cents a pound. Trade expansion must inevitably produce li'ghcr prices for the staple." WaMiinsrtoii Stock- iixennofre. Sal(-s United States Electric Light, 10 at 116 3-4. Lincoln fire Insurance, 40 at S3-1.

To the Editor of The Times: Those unfamiliar wiih vivisection often treat the whole question as too trivial to be regar ded seriously To them vlvis ectlon means that aiuuiais are sometimes, in some place?, and by some people, cut up alive; but bow freijiiemiy iw.etuons occur wlierevlvlsection is practiced and by whom they neither know uoc care- It may even be that the fdeasot these unlnstmeted In divid u-ils" a re so tntetv that they look upon a vivIsectioTial laboratory as a place "Where they that are without would fain go In," rather than one where " they that are within would fain go out." I should like to call attention to a few facts in regard to this practice of vivi section: l-'irst Vivisection is practiced all over the world on the continent, In England, in the United States. . Second. Vivisection Is of frequeat oc currence, being practiced by the whole sale, any experimenter thinking himselt juMified ,n "nslug" from one to five tbotn-und animals to demonstrate, or seek to demonstrate, anything or nothing. Third. Vivisection is practiced almost entirety without anaesthetics, the animals suffering the most acute torture, often for hours; or in case of inoculations, con tracting a dreadful disease, from which they, as a rule, eventually die. It the general public would look into vivisection It they would find out what it is, it seems to me that very soon they wouid see that proper laws were made to protect helpless brutes from such ex periments E.
