DANGERS OF A. LATE START.
From September to May the Mining Di».
trict Is Mhut Off From the “’orld
by Ice --A Railroad to the Klon-
dike Region Suggested.
Seattle; Wash, July 21.-—'I‘he feeling
of exultation which followed the first
reports about the great gold strikes has
given place here to one of desperation,
and it seems today as if not more than
1 in 50 of the men who are in the city
and anxious to start north will be able
to do so. .
For the most part these men are
young and ambitious, the victims of
adversity and hard times, who saw in
this new El Dorado a place where they
would no longer be failures in life. They
are clamoring for a chance to reach the
Klondike district, but today the outlook
is dark for most of them.
—The- steamship Portland, which
brought from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 in
gold dust, will sail for the diggings
Thursday morning.
The Portland’s trip north will be the
last this season—that is, it will be the
last on which her oWners will guarantee
to put the passengers into the Klondike.
The river freezes in September. From
St. Michael's passengers and their bag-
gage are transferred to the river steam-
ers of the company. Barges are placed
in tow of the steamers, which are all of
light draft, owing to the rapids of the
Yukon. They are loaded with tons of
provisions.
So great is the desire to get into the
goldfields with the rush that all sorts
of tricks have been resorted to, such as
drugging a man and stealing his tickets
on the steamer Alki, whose berths were
all sold 48 hours before she sailed.
P. B. Weare, vice president of the
North American Trading company, to
which the steamship Portland belongs.
is receiving hundreds of letters asking
for information regarding the gold-
flelds. He said today:
“The boat which sails from Seattle
this month is full—every passage taken.
That means that any one who wants to
go to the Klondike must wait for the
August boats. find" . . .f
A Long Journey.
I
z “The journey is 7,000 miles, but people
talk abroad as if it was walking across
the street. They don’t realize what
Alaska is—what the Yukozn is.
“They will need a map to convince
them that the country of the Yukon
and its tributaries in Alaska and Brit-
ish America is as large as the whole
United States east of the Mississippi,
that it is longer than a trip to Europe
before they reach the Bering sea and
the mouth of the Yukon, that by the
time they‘ strike the Yukon the Alaskan
arctic winter will be upon them.
“By Sept. 25 the weather settles and
the Yukon river is frozen solid until the
following May.
“The expense of getting from Chicago'
to Seattle is $60, and from Seattle to the
Bering sea is $150. Thousands of west-
ern men will go, but, of course, the
coast people expect everything in their
favor.
. {“One thing must be remembered, that
the Klondike country is in British do-
main, and will be governed accord-
ingly.”
C. B. McIntosh of the Northwest Ter-
ritory, in which is included the Klon-
‘ dike gold district, is in Seattle. He
freely subscribes to the truthfulness of
the stories sent out as to the richness
of the new diggings. He estimates that
the Klondike and its tributaries yielded
more than $3,000,000 in gold last win—
ter. Of this amount he says $2,000,000
and upward came via the steamships
" Portland and Excelsior. More than
$1,000,000 in dust, he says. is now stored
away in the cabins of miners along the
creek. “
“The British Yukon yield of gold for
1897,” the, governor resumed, “will not
be less than $10,000,000.” He says sur-
veyors are at work trying to ascertain
the feasibility of the construction of a.
railroad into the Yukon. One route
contemplates a line of steamers from
Fort Wrangel up the Styken river.

ASSUMED NAMES 0F ROYALTY.
They Travel Incognito—Prince oi'Wales
, is Earl of Chester.
President Faure’s recent interview
witll‘ Queen Victoria at a French rail-
road station was a breach of the strict
etiquette of royal incognitos, as the
Queen on her travels is the Countess of
Balmoral, and can be recognized offi-
cially only by- that title. A similar
break with tradition was made last
year by King Leopold II of Belgium,
while in Paris, in acknowledging the
cheers of the crowd for the King of the
Belgians and accepting dinnerinvita-
tions, inasmuch as he had gone to
Paris as the Count of Ravenstein and
returned to Brussels under the same.
name. The Prince of Wales has never
been in Paris; it is the Earl of
Chester who is the hero of all the
naughty adventures ascribed to Albert
Edward.
One of the first monarchs to use an
assumed name on his travels was the
Emperor Joseph II, who appeared in
"Paris in 1777 as Count Falkenstein;
Paul I of Russia, while Crown Prince,
visited the city under the- style of
Comte du Nord. Louis XVIII in ex-
ile called him-self COmte de Lille,
Charles X, after he was driven out,
Comte de Morles and Louis Philippe
Comte de Neuilly. The Due de Bor-
deaux, “Hen-ry.X,” lived all his life un-
der the name of Comte de Ch-ambord.
Joseph Bonaparte took the name of
Count of Survilliers when in America;
Hortense Beauharnais, when no longer
Queen of Holland, called herself Duch-
esse de Saint Leu.
In spite of their assumed names, per-
sons who come in contact with those
royal travelers are expected to treat
them as though the incognito did not
exist. In Switzerland alone has the
disguise been taken seriously. The late
I King William III of Holland was once
, treated like a private person at Gen-
] eva, and came near being taken to the
' police station. One summer evening he
undertook to promenade on a hotel pi-
: azza without any clothes on; and the
l subsequent legal proceedings were
stopped only on his promising that he
would leave Geneva at once. He never
retrrued to. the city.—Philadelphia
Ledger. '
The Third Time He Was in Time.
A comely maiden had among her
numerous admirers in the Village a
bashful carpenter and undertaker. At
last he spoke, but, alas, he was too
late; , she had given her promise to
another, and that other She wedded. It
so happened that within the first year
the young husband died, and the wid-
ow bethought herself of her sweet-
heart, and gave him the coflin to make.
He did so, and, allowing what be con-
sidered a decent time to elapse, he
again proposed. Alas! he was again
too late!
Strange to say, the second husband
was short-lived, and again the constant
carpenter had the coflin to make.
Then be resolved to cast delicacy
aside, and, just as he drove the last
screw firmly home, he touched the arm
of the twice-Widowed fair, and asked:
“Has onybody spoke to ye yet?”
He was in timel~Answers.
