Inquiry For Tickets To Loosening at San Francisco—A Well Equipped New England Party Which 11 ‘11.... on Business Principles. Astoria, On, Aug. 14.—-The Oregon Railway and Navigation company’s steamer George W. Elder has arrived here from Dyea. She left Dyea the 9th inst. She confirms previous reports that both the White and Chilkat passes are blockaded. The route from Skggauay and White pass is more level and easier traveling, though 25 miles farther the prospector is landed on Lake Bennett, the second lake above Lindeman, where travelers by the Chilkat pass are landed. Besides there is plenty of tim— her on Bennett lake to build boats, while there is none on Lindeman. Nearly all‘of the Elder’s passengers were landed at Dyea, the vessel lying 1% miles out in the bay Passengers 1 and goods were lightered ashg‘re at a cost of $10 per ton for freight. Officers of the Elder say that not one—half of the gold seekexs will get over the mountains this winter. Many are sell- ing their outfits and returning. Letters from parties who went up on the Elder advise their friends not to go this fall, as they‘cannot get through. The steamer Mayflower, towing a large barge loaded with supplies, left - for Dyea today. She will take the inner passage, and her captain expects no trouble in~reaching his destination. Excitement Abatlng In Frisco. San Francisco, Aug. 14.—-—During the past week the Klondike fever has abat- ed somewhat in this city, owing, prob- ably, to the discouraging reports re- ceived from Dyea. There are plenty of persons who announce their inten— tion of trying the Chilkat route in the spring, and of those who are anxious to go at once a large proportion seem dis- posed to travel via St. Michael’s and up the Yukon. Promotors of expedi— tidns by this route are ready with pro. fuse assurances that the trip can be made before the closing of navigation, but in all cases they are careful not .to bind themselves in any way to take passengers through this fall. At the 0 cos of the steamShip companies it is reported that inquiry for tickets is di- minishing. Prospectors From New England. Seattle, Wash, Aug. 14.~—‘-One of the largest and-best equipped parties that have started for the Klondike from Seattle this season has just arrived in this city from New England. The mem- bers are organized on a military basis, the captain being Arthur E. Seymour. son of a mind reader. Charles H. Mosely, formerly of the Boston Herald, is secretary, and A.» E.- Rogers of Nor- wich, Conn.,' is’tr'easurer. Each mem- ber of the party originally contributed $1,000, and- each agrees to share alike in all expenditures and profits of the expedition. The corporate name of the eXpedition is the -Haverhill Mining company, from the fact that Seymour at the time he organized it was at Haverhill, Mass, although his home is at Utica, N. Y. The members of the company have done all of their own outfitting in this city. The members are as follows: Arthur E. Seymour, Haverhill; J. G. Williams, ,Charlestown; I. C. Hill, Deer- field; G. R. Allen, Boston; John R. Nicholas, Providence; L. L. Hobbs, Springfield; George H. Wesson, Chel- sea; C. N. Brown, Alfred E. Rogers, Gales Ferry, Conn; I. A. Malloy, Hud- son; J. D. Spicer, South Boston; Thom- as Mortagh, South-Boston; Charles H. Mosely, Boston; P.‘ A. Cummings and Master Cummings, South Boston; A. R. James, Buffalo; I. L. Ivins, Portland, Me.; Charles Thayer, New Haven; Dr. M. Townsend, Al'bany; Walter I. Dod- son, Sr., Eugene Cummings, Hartford. Mr. Williams is 74 years old and a California “forty—niner.” He will in- struct his company in’ mining and the usages of mining companies. Their out- fit is elaborate. There is nothing ex- travagant about it, but every necessary article is there, and everything is of the best quality. The' only articles they brought from the east are some sheep- skin sleeping bags. Theirpassage was engaged by telegraph several days ago on the steamer Humboldt, which is due to sail from Seattle for St. Michael's next Sunday, and their tickets guaran- tee them arrival at Dawson City before the river is frozen up. Fox‘- a Better Mail Service. Washington, Aug. 14.——The postofiico department has written the postal-au- thorities of Canada concerning co-oper- ation in carrying the mails to the Klon- dike country, but there is not much . hope of being able to reach an adjust- ment, as the American contractor may not accept a modification‘of his con- tract. The proposition made‘ is ‘ that the two governments should co- operate and arrange for the interchange of mail at Circle City and Dawson City, the United States to maintain a service once a month, and Canada the same. This Would givetwo mails every month. No reply has been received from the Canadian government, and, even if It was favorable, arrangements must be made with the contractor who carries mail to Circle City to carry the .mail destined for Dawson City in Canada. LL: 2 . T - ‘ The Peace Negotiations. Constantinople, Aug.'14.—Some of the embauadors have not yet received the replies of their governments in regard to the evacuation compromise proposed by the Turkish minister for foreign af- fairs, Tewfik Pasha, but it is believed the compromise will be accepted and that the peace preliminaries will be signed tomorrow. What the Bicycle Bid For Soh. Washington, Aug. 14.—Ex-Minlster Pom Kwang Soh of Korea, who has been seriously ill for several days as the result of overexertion in bicycle rid- ing, was slightly better today; It was not thought at first that he would rally from the effects of several hemorrhages.

'A Passenger on the Fur-It Bismarck De- tected on Being Searched. ' New York, Aug. 14.—When the steamship Furst Bismarck of the Ham- burg-American line reached her dock in Hoboken today, Chief Custom House Inspector Donahue noticed a well dress— ed German about 50 years of age act- ing in a suspicious manner. The man, when asked, said that he had nothing dutiable in his baggage or about his person. A search of his baggage re- vealed nothing, and the man was ask- ed to step in a stateroom, and when searched there the inspector found a laige quantity of diamonds and other jewelry secreted in his clothing. The appraisers valued them at $6, 000. In- spector Donahue took the man before United States Commissioner Russ, where he said that he was Richard Newbauer, a merchant, of Hamburg, Germany. He said that he had not in- tended to dispose of the jewels in this country, but merely brought them with him for safe keeping. Newbauer was held in $1, 000 bail for examination on the charge of smug- gling. The prisoner said that he had no friends in this country to' bail him out, and his pleadings worked on the commissioner’s feelings so much that he finally accepted $500 cash bail for Newbauer’s appearance. MBXIOANS HANG A BOY. A Murder In New Mexico Supposed to Be Due to 3. Boundary Dispute. El Paso, Tex., Aug. 14.———Harold Mos- Iey of .Kansas City, the 15-year-old son of a division superintendent of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf rail- road, left his father’s ranch, near Chamberino, in Dona Ana county, N. M., last Friday to visit neighbors. On Sunday evening the boy’s horse came in alone, and search was made. His body was found hanging to a cot- tonwood tree on the main road from ‘Chamberino to his home. He had evi- dently been dead for 24 hours. The ground showed that the boy had been roped from his horse by mounted men and strung up. The murder is sup— posed to have been committed by Mexi— can neighbors of the Mosleys, with whom the family have had trouble over ranch boundaries. Hidalgo Not an American. Washington, Aug. 14.——Consul Gen- eral ,Lee has made a careful examina— tion into the complaint made by Santi- .ago Barroeta of New York, to the ef- fect that the Spanish had confined his brother—in-law, Raymond Hidalgo, in Cabanas fortress, notwithstanding he was an American citizen. and so regis- ~. tered at Havana and Cienfuegos. The consul general reports that Hidalgo is I a Spanish subject. Precautions Against Carlists. Madrid, Aug. 14.———Military precau- tions have been taken for some time past against the possibility of a Carlist, or republican, rising, and the steps tak- en have been increased recently, chiefly here, at Barcelona, Bilbao and at Se— ville. i’iRES THAT LEAK. The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as a. distinct improvement in bicycle tire It has the following ad- vantages: ' While punctures in it can be re- paired with plugs, or semi-liquid 1n- jections, as well as in any other single-tube tire, it can be permanent!) repaired by using the quick-repair strip inside the tire. See cut No. 1. V7 By injecting M. & W quick-repair cement through the puncture, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb, as in out No. 2, the repaii No. 3. No.2 strip inside 1s picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in out No. 3. ~ The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a sieve.” Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric' 1s proof against moisture. , Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan 67. Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. Ask any bicycle dealer Whether other tires last as long as Morgan 8: Wright tires. Ask. also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. Morgan & Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the Morgan & Wright free repair shops, located in the principal cities. N. B.—When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it, may damage it considerably. Shhullle’s Mallet. A FULL 1.111: or FRESH Allll ounro rams.
