Inquiry For Tickets 15 Lessening at San
Francisco—A Well Equipped New’
England Party Which Is Run
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
prO'Spector is landed on Lake Bennett,
the second lake above Lindeman,
'where travelers by the Chilkat pass are
landed; Besides there is plenty of tim-
ber on Bennett lake to build boats,
while there is one on Lindeman.
Nearly all of the Elder's passengers
were landed at Dyea, the vessel lying
1% miles out in the bay. Passengers
and goods were lightered ashore at a
cost of $10 per ton for freight. Officers
of the Elder say that not one-half of
the gold seekers 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.
1 Excitement Abating 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 oftrying the Chiikat 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-
tions 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
offices of the steamship companies it is
reported that inquiry for tickets is di-
minishing.

this city from New England. The mem-
bersra‘re 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 treasurer. Each mem~
her of the party originally contributed
$15,000, 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:

best quality. The only articles they
brought from the east are some sheep-
skin sleeping bags. Their passage.was

to sail from Seattle for St. Michael’s
next Sunday, and their tickets guaran.

For a Better Mail Service.
Washington, Aug. 14,—The postoflice
dispartment 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 Americancontractor 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
0T1C'\ a month, and Canada the same.
This would give two mails every month.
No reply has been received from the
- Ganadian 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.
The Peace Negotiations.
Constantinople, Aug. 14.-Some of the
ambassadors have not yet received the
replies of their governments in regard

tairs, Tewfik Pasha, but it is believed
the compromise will be accepted and
that the peace preliminaries will be
signed tomorrow.
