1' THE EVEN 1N9 GAZETTE. .’ RETURNED PROM KLONDIKE. Three Young Men Get Back to San Fran- cisco With 820,000. Seattle, Wash, Aug. 23.—The steamer George E. Starr has arrived at her dock from.Dyea and Skaguay and was . met by a, great crowd of people, it hav— ing been reported that several men from Klondike, having made their way to salt water overland, were on board. This report proved true, but the inter- est centered in the appearance of one passenger, Ed Thorpe, who was expect- ed to' come down on the Portland and who is reported to have somewhere in the neighborhood of $130,000 in Klondike gold in his possession. Thorp and his companions talked, but it was impossi- ble to get anything definite from them. Willis Thorp, the father of Ed Thorp, received a letter a. few days ago on the Alki from his son, saying that he had $130,000 in gold. At least that is what Willis Thorp is alleged to have told his friends, but now Thorp and his three companions on the Starr unite on one point in telling their story, and that is that they have $20,000 betWeen them. Four men on the steamer are direct frOm Dawson. They are George L. Stewart, Ed Thorpe, Joe Winterfield and Jack Ross and their Indian guide Schwatka. ' Stewart went to the Yukon in July, 1896, and located a claim on El Dorado creek, a branch of Bonanza, creek, and about a mile from Dawson. When their party left DaWSon City on July 4 nothing had been heard of the discov- eries on Stewart river. The party came up the Yukon to Pelly river, which they reached on July 17. From there they came over the Dalton trail and reached Skaguay Aug. 12. The Dalton trail necessitates packing a distance of between 400 and 500 miles and is used mostly for driving stock over the Yu- kon. It is the intention of all the party to return to their mines on the next trip of the steamer George Starr if they can get ready. >They came out after supplies. Mr. Stewart said supplies ran short in the spring and that flour went up to $70 per sack. At present it is $12 per hundredweight. Old miners on the Yukon say that the transportation company promises ev- ery year to have plenty of provisions for the next winter, but that the supply invariably runs short. Another Klondike Expedition. San Francisco, Aug. 23.—The last ex- pedition this year from California for the Alaska geldfields will leave here on Aug. 25. The steamer Navarro has been chartered by the California Alas- kan Navigation and Commercial com- pany and will tow the river steamer Thomas Dwyer to the mouth of the Yukon river. The Navarro will have accommodations for 75 passengers, and the managers of the expedition calcu— late on reaching Dawson City in about 30 days. Two physicians will accom- pany the expedition to look after the health of the prospectors. If by any mischance the Navarro reaches the Yu- kon too‘late for the river boat to get through, arIangements have been made for caring for the passengers until spring. , . THE CUBAN CLAIMS. Proposal For Negotiation of Differences Between This Country and Spain. Washington, Aug. 23.—It is probable that a. convention will be negotiated be- .tween Spain and the United States for the settlement of allclaims on account of the Cuban trouble by a claims com- mission similar to that appointed in 1871, which settled the claims of citizens of both countries after the insurrection of that time. It can be stated, although numerous claims of American citizens against the government of Spain for in- juries done their persons and property in the island of Cuba during the present revolution have been filed with the state department, no formal presentation of these claims has been made to the Span- ish government by the secretary of state, although as sr‘n as these claims have been filed at the state department a notice of such filing has been present— ed to the foreign office at Madrid. It is doubtful under the present cir- cumstances whether, if any formal pre- sentation of the claims were made at this time, Spain would recognize it. The administration is, therefore, re- solved to follow the precedent in this matter'and to await the cessation of hostilities, and meanwhile to negotiate a treaty or convention for the'appoint- ment of a claims commission. [General Woodford in his instructions was directed to negotiate such a con- vention as was arranged by General Sickles with the Spanish government in 1871. More Cuban Filibusterinz Expeditions. Washington, Aug. 23.-—-Unofiicial in— formation has reached the treasury de— partment that the suspected filibuster Dauntless has left Savannah with a barge in tow and that she is to be joined by the Alexander Jones at a point southeast of Hatteras, where the two vessels are to meet the schooner Banna F. Briggs, supposed to be load- ed with munitions ‘of war for the Cu- ban insurgents. Which vessel will make the trip is net known. It is also stated that a filibustering expedition is assembling near Tampa, Fla. In view of this information Secretary Gage has telegraphed the collectors of customs at Savannah, Brunswick and Tampa to use special vigilance to prevent viola- tions of the neutrality laws and also .to confer with the commanders oi naval vessels at their ports as to what steps should be taken in the premises. Rich woman Kills Herself. ‘ Flemington, N. J., Aug. 23.——Mrs. Ro- land, widow of Dr. George Roland, com- mitted suicide at the home of former Judge Ferdinand Holcomb, near Kings. She was a guest of the Holcombs. She got a butcher knife, and going to an outbuilding drew the blade across her throat.

Shot. by a Special Watchman. New York, Aug. 23.—Patrick Fitzgib- bons of this city was fatally shot last night by James Masterly, a special watchman, in the Jersey City Chemical works, at Jersey City.

San Francisco, Aug. 23. —The steamer Coptic, which has a11iv ed from Yoko- hama, via Honolulu, brings the foilo .1- ing Japanesez Idvices: It appears from the Japanese papers that the Hawaiian gorernment firs: de— sired to leave to arbitration of a third party only the matter of the definition of the emigration regulations, but that Minister Shimmamura and Councillor Akiyama insisted that all matters con- cerning the treaty be arbitrated. The proposal of arbitration is denounced as nothing more than the outcome of a wanton indecision displayed by the Ha- waii authorities. No special reason is assigned for the return of Councillor Akiyama, except that the negotiations having been arrived at, there was no further reason for his remaining on the island. The Japanese government is preparing to publish all correspondence and pro- ceedings in the case in the event of the matter being submitted to arbitration. It will insist upon the settlement of the following claims: ' First—That the action of Hawaii in refusing the landing of the Japanese was a flagrant violatiOn of the treaty. Second—That the Hawaiian govern- ment is responsible to pay damages re- sulting therefrom. Third—That the Hawaiian govern- ’ment is required to establish a guaran- tee to avoid future trouble of a similar nature. The Japan Times, commenting upon the subject of annexation, says: So far as Japan’ s attitude toward an- nexation is concerned, it will remain unchanged, even after the settlement of her trouble with Hawaii. Her attitude has been and will be opposed to annexa- tion to America, not because she har- bors any ambitious designs upon those islands, but simply and solely because she is desirous of guarding the legiti- mate rights of her nation there. A very severe and prolonged earth- quake shock was experienced at Yoko- hama and surrounding towns on July 22. Eight people were trampled to death during the crush at a public festival at Kochi on July 22. During a blockadeon the Tenjinbashi bridge, a party ‘of young ruffians at— tempted to force their way through the crowd. About 40 people were knocked down, and a panic ensued, with the re-. sult that eight people were killed and 50 or more seriously injured. A cartload of clogs, umbrellas and other articles was removed from the scene by the po- lice after the crowd had dispersed. King of Siam Goes to’ 'Belgium. London, Aug. 23. ——The king of Siam has concluded his visit to England and started for Brussels. TIRES THAT LEAK. The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as a distinct improvement in bicycle tire construction. It has the following ad- vantages: While punctures in it can be re- paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in- jections, as well as in any other single-tube tire, it can be permanent!) repaired by using the quick-repaix strip inside the tire. See cut No. 1. No. 1. By injecting M. & W. quiek-repai1 cement through the puncture, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb. as in cut No. 2, the repair No. 2. strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in cut 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 The Morgan, & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. . Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & 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 & 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 ‘'he principal cities. ‘ 5 N. B. -When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it, may 'amage it considerably. _ UNCLE SAM’S AERIAL COURIER. A Pigeon From the Cruiser New York Rests on a Yankee Schooner. New Haven, Aug. 23.—-—Captain Mitch- ell of the schooner Cora M, now in port here, reports that while many miles out on Wednesday a carrier pigeon came aboard. bearing a message from the United‘ States cruiser New York. The note requested whoever found the bird to allow it to rest, feed it and let it go again, and if in vicinity of a United States naval station to report the cir- cumstances“. The message was dated Aug. 17. The cook saw the bird alight on the deck. He picked it up and noticed the message in a small cylinder. The cap- tain ordered the bird to be fed. It made itself perfectly at home, hopping down I‘into the cabin, where it put its head un- der its wing and slept for about two hours, after which it ate some more and‘took a drink of water, hopped out on the deck, and, rising in the air, cir- cled around the schooner three times. Then it struck out like a shot in the direction of Cape Ann, which was about 82 miles distant in a northwesterly di- rection. __.__i.— A Pugilist Lost 11’. Chilkat Pa‘ss.
