MINISTER SIPTON’S REPORT
The Canadian Minister Says a Line
of Police Posts, Fifty Miles Apart.
Will Be Established On Klondike
Routes—To Explore Stickeen.
Skaguay, Alaska, Oct. 21, via Seattle,
Wash., Oct. 27.—There is a corner in
flour at Dawson City and none can be"
had at any price. " This is stated by
Cliff T. Moore, who reached here last,
night from Dawson, accompanied by
his son, Morris R. Moore; N. C. Wood-
ring and George F. Compton, all of
Seattle. The party left Dawson Sept.
7, when all the flour in town was be-
ing held for higher prices. Threats
were made that the warehouses would
be raided and that the people would
help themselves, paying, of course, a
liberal price for what they took. The
stores would not sell more than six
cans of milk, three cans of meat and
other articles in proportion to any one
person. Canned meats scld at 75 cents
a can, milk at 50 cents, beans at 25
cents, sugar at 30 cents a pound. Six
steamers were daily expected to arrive
from St. Michaels. Their arrival would
end the flour corner, and insure ample
provisions for the Winter.
Canadian Minister’s Trip.
Hon. Clifford Sifton, Canadian Min-
ister of the Interior, and his party re-
_ turned two days ago from a trip over
the Chilcoot and Skaguay trails, going
Mr. Sifton
there will be no shortage of food at
Dawson City this Winter, and that the
reports of ravages by typhoid fever
have been greatly exaggerated. He
also says that the richness of the new
discoveries on Dominion, Sulphur,
Quartz and Moose Skin Creeks in the
Klondike districts has been fully es—
tablished. He said that his Govern-
ment would facilitate any reasonable.
plan for getting in the Yukon country.
The Canadian Government, he said,
understands that if the rich gold fields
of the Yukon district are to be devel-
oped easy means of communication
must. be had. Posts will be established
fifty miles apart along the routes from
Skaguay and Dyea to Dawson City.
These posts will be garrisoned with po-
lice, and will contain stores of food
and clothing, which can be forwarded
in emergencies to the Yukon country.
Work on these posts has already be-
gun at Sheep Camp, Linderman, Tag-
ish and White Horse Rapids.
Mr. Sifton will to-day examine Tokou
and a portion of the route leading into
the interior from that point. The party
will then proceed to Fort Wrangle,
where they will ascend the Stickeen
River to examine the shoals and quick-
sands.
NOTED WOMAN A WRECK.
Chairnlnn of the Lady Managers of
World’s Fair a Slave to Cocaine.
Chicago, Oct. 27.—-Mrs. Annie C.
Meyers, chairman of the Board of
Lady Managers of the World’s Fair,
stood before Justice Martin yesterday
afternoon a wreck. She is a slave to
cocaine, and begged to be exiled from
the city.
In the choicest of language she pic-
tured her pitiful condition, and the
four young stenographers who charged
her with stealing their purses were
moved to tears.
“Not many years ago, as ,Your Honor
- knows” she said, “I was respected and
honored. To- day look at me. Few
me, for I’ve
people now recognize
changed greatly, and all is attributed
to a habit from which few, if any, are
over cured.
“Please do not hold me. Give me
one more chance. In twenty-four
hours I will leave Chicago forever. I
promise it upon my bended knees, as
God is my witness.”
Mrs. Meyers had the sympathy and
pity of the Court, but in her condition
he feared she would only be trouble-
some to others, and, believing that
something might be done in her phys-
ical behalf, he held her to await the
action of the Grand Jury.
Senator \Volcott in Doubt.
London, Oct. 27.—The American
Monetary Commissioners, who‘ have
been unsuccessfully negotiating with
the Government in the interests of the
free coinage of silver, are as yet un-
decided whether to continue their rep-
resentations in Europe or return to the
United States without further action.
After considerable discussion be-
tween Ambassador Hay and the Com-
missioners upon the subject of a reply
to the answer made by the British
Cabinet to the Commissioners’ propos-
als a few days -ago, Senator VVolcott
merely acknowledged the receipt of
the Government‘s note.
4'03‘Chlcago Policemen Discharged.
Chicago, Oct. 27.—Chief Kipley dis-
charged 403 members of the police to-
day. _TWenty-five more were retired,
and changes were made affecting elev-
en others. Among the officers dis-
missed are the four detectives Who did
the most conspicuous work in the Luet-
gert wife-murder case. The places of
the deposed policemen were immedi-
ately filled by former policemen, most
of whom were dismissed under the
Swift administration.
Why Czar Snabhcd Duke.
Berlin, Oct. 27.—The Tageblatt ex-
plains to-day that the refusal of the
Czar to receive the Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess of Baden at Darmstadt
on Saturday last was due to the sar-.
castic comments made by the Grand
Duke of Baden upon the conversion of
the Czarina, formerly Princess Alix of
Hesse, sister of the Grand Duke of
Hesse, to the Greek Church previous
to her marriage to the Czar in Novem-
ber, 1894.

of the L. A. W. has passed the 100,000

CHORUS elnL's DESTITUTION.
Bertie Pearl Price Makes Three At-
tempts at Suicide.
Catasauqua, Pa... Oct. 27. —An at-
tempt at suicide was made yesterday
afternoon at Hokendauqua. by a chours
girl of a. stranded opera company. The
woman’s name is Gertrude Pearl Price.
While a member of an opera company
she became stranded. with the rest of-
the company at Chelsea, Mass, and
was sent to New York on a. boat. From
there the woman started out to get to
Chicago the best way she could. She
walked from Jersey City to Raritan, N.
J., between Saturday night and Mon-
day night. Then shevwas put, on a
train and sent to Easton, Pa. The
Poor authorities there assisted her to
this place.
At about 1 o’clock Miss Price landed
at Catasauqua, and fifteen minutes
later she was on the high bridge span-
ning the Lehigh River at Hokendau-
qua. She was hungry, destitute and
penniless. She tried to jump from the
bridge into the water, but was chased
from the structure before she was able
to carry her intentionsinto effect. As
she got to the east end of the bridge a
trolley car came along, and she threw
herself on the tracks to be ground up.
The car was stopped in time to pre-
vent her being hurt. The woman then
disappeared, and appeared at the rear
of the Thomas Iron Company’s works.
She was about to jump from the, bank
into the river, when Ed Kade and
Patrick McClain seized her and took
her in charge. They brought her to
the Eagle Hotel at Catasauqua and
put her in charge of Chief Sheckler.
Capt. Bartholomew provided her with
dinner at the hotel and made her com-
fortable. An effort is ’being made this
afternoon to secure subscriptions to
send her to her friends at Chicago.

Injured occurred in the second half of

hard to prevent the advance of the
ball, and the scrimmages were frequent
and fierce. When the mass of players

these struggles Hasche was found un-
conscious at the bottom of the heap.

proved vain physicians were sum-

that Hasche’s neck was broken.
He was still living, and early in the
evening he was removed to the Astoria.

condition until his death. He was 19
