tacks on their rhouldcr and dressed In
arctic costume, seven men are starting
for the Klondike from 103 Uowery. They
go on foot and expect to tramp half
way, or, If necessary, all the way across
the continent to San Francisco. From
there they will sail for Alaska and en- !
ter the Klondike by the Chllkat pass.
Five of the party are connected with
the Howery mission, and they go to
open a rescue mission In Dawson City.
The other two are photographers, who
go along for professional purposes.
The five missionaries are Captain
Alexander de Soto, Frederick J. Uaylls,
George Garner. Lincoln J. Paynter and
Harry M. Keller. The photographers
are George U.iyle nd Edward Ullss,
who sold out their buslnet-s nt 30 Vesey

The party is In command of Captain
de Solo, who originated the scheme.
Captain do Soto spent 17 years at min
ing rumps In Central America and Colo
rado and Is a practical miner.
lie p!oto is also a reformed gambler.
He was a partner of John Morrlssey,
the famous gambler. In his many estab
llshments In this cltyi He was con
verted In lf'tO and since then has en
gaged In mission wink. Haylla, a big
six footc, Is also n practical miner,
having ipint four years in South Africa.
The party is without funds. At every
Flopping place meetings will be held
nrd collections taken, and In this way
the men expect to raise enough money
to get to Dawson City. They will tramp
to Newark first and hold a meeting
Sn the North Hnptl.it church. They will
g by way of Washington, Pittsburg,
Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis and
through Kansas, Colorado and Utah to
California.
The men will sleep where they ran.
Each carries a pair of heavy blankets
in addition to his knapsack. They are
attired In heavy leather coats lined
with sheepskin, with the wool toward
the body: heavy woolen caps and trou
sers and leather leggings. They will
have complete miners' outfits snipped
to San Francisco. From there each will
carry a gun to shoot game.
Each man has a silver cross on bis
leather coat with the Inscription "R. L.
O. M." on it, meaning "Rescue League,
Bowery Mission."
They will stay two yean at least In
Dawson City, and If necessary some ef
the men will mine In order to support
the rescue work. Only Captain de' So
to leaves a wife. She Is In a sanitarium.
Ketler was formerly advance agent
for Barnum & Bailey. He will do. the
advance work of the nariy., f v
Captain de Soto is an enthusiast and
thoroughly in earnest. He says he re
ceived the call from God to go to the
Klondike some time ago. He refused
to respond, and as a result his children
were taken away from him and his
wife lost her reason. Then he yielded
to the call and organized the present
party.

the arrival of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. pre
mier of Canada; Sir Louis Davies, min
ister of marine In the Laurier cabinet,
and other ofllcials of the Dominion is
to have an Important bearing, not only
on the Bering sea settlement, but on all
J the pending questions which have been

ritory belonging to Canada and In the
mining regions of Hrltlsh Columbia, the
fisheries trouble along the great lakes,
the bonded privilege granted Canadian
railroads, the controversy over lights
In the Frailer river, British Columbia,
and In Puget sound, and the question
of a reciprocity arrangement between
the United States and Canada,
The essential features of Sir WlVrld's
mission were communicated to the off!
clals here by persons fully advised of
the premier's plans, and It can be said
that the suggestion that the decks be
cleared of existing disputes between
Canada and the United States met with
the favor of the administration. While
the Bering sea settlement occasioned
the visit of the Canadian premier, the
Canadian authorities attach less Im
portance to It than they do to the other
questions mentioned. They say that
the Canadian sealing Interest is confined
almost entirely to the far western ter
ritory, where the sealers fit out, and
that even there a considerable percent
age of the so called Canadian sealers
hall from Seattle, San Francisco and
other American ports, who fit out In
Canadian ports under the British flag.
What basis of settlement can be readi
ed Is no disclosed, but little doubt. It
Is said. Is felt by the Canadians that an
amicable adjustment can be made.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his associates
will urge strongly that the border im
migration question be settled and on
this point will confer with the presi
dent. Under the premier's dlrertlon the
Canadian parliament passed an alien
immigration law last spring, by which
American contractors and American la
bor were barred from competing In the
work on the Crow's Nest Pass railway,
a government undertaking in western
Canada. On the other hand, It Is claim
ed by the Canadians that about 6,000
Americans are In the Klondike territo
ry belonging to Canada and that fully
10,000 American contract laborers are
working In the mines of British Colum
bia. The United States Immigration
laws, It Is asserted, are administered
with harshness along the Canadian bor
der and are a daily source of Irritation.
Sir Wilfrid, therefore, will suggest that
the causes of Irritation be removed on
both sides, and It is understood that he
Is prepared to offer a repeal of Cana
dian restrictions In the Klondike and
other regions if the administration of
th American law Is made more lenient.
In this connection also the co-operation
of the United State-.i Is desired In
the plans of the Canadian authorities
to make an easy route to the Klondike.
The proposed route Is by boat from
Fort Wrangle to the Stlckens river,
United States, and up the Stlckene via
Tasland lake to the Yukon river and
thence to the goldflelds. As the Stlckene
river Is on American soil, It Is desired
to overcome any possible controversy,
although the treaty of Washington Is
said to make the navigation of the river
free to the Canadians and Americans
alike. The need of this short route un
der the patronage of the Dominion Is
felt by the Canadian premier to be Im
perative, In view of Information reach
ing them that 15.000 Australians will
come to the Klondike in the spring. A
total of 50,000 colonists is expected to
head that way.
On the matter of reciprocity, the gen
eral purpose of the negotiations will be
to give the United States the benefit of
the minimum clause of the present Ca
nadian law In exchange for the 20 per
cent reduction allowed under the Ding
ley law. The desire of Sir Wilfrid and
his associates will be to confine the ar
rangement to a few Important articles,
allowing time to develop Its useful
ness and extend Its scope. On the part
of Canada the articles likely to be pro
posed for reciprocity are fish, coal, lum
ber and barley. On the part of the
United States the articles likely to fig
ure In the negotiations are coal, coal
oil, corn, railway and electrical sup
piles, machinery of all kinds, agricul
tural Implements, native woods, watch
es, clocks, cotton and certain forms of
Iron and steel. The Canadian law pe
rrtlts a one-eighth reduction of duties
this year and one-fourth reduction next
year to such countries as give ad
vantage to Canada. At present Brit
ish goods get this reduction, while
merlcan goods do not.

BUFFALO. Nov. 8. In one of the
worst storms on Lake Erie the steamer
Idaho of the Western Transit line foun
dered In eight fathoms of water oft
Loug point, a very dangerous promon
tory about 6.5 miles west of here. Of
the crew but two were saved. These
clung to a spar for eight hours, when
they were discovered by the lookout on
the Mariposa of the Minnesota line. The
captain of the Idaho was among those
lost.
The names t,i the drowned men are
Alexander Gillies, captain. Buffalo;
William Clancy, chief engineer, Buf
falo; John D. Taylor, steward, Buffalo;
Nelson Skinner, first assistant engineer;
Louis Gilmore, watchman; Richard Mc
Lean, wheelsman: Robert Williams,
wheelsman: A. J. Richard, lookout;
Henry Thomson, lookout; Conrad Blan
ker, fireman; William Gregory, fire
man; John Healy, assistant steward;
Frederick Mlffort, oiler; Edward Smith,
deckhand. Rochester: M. Bell, deck
hand. The names of three of the men
drowned are unknown to the steamship
company. One was a fireman, another
a deckhand and the third a porter.
The names of the two men saved are
Louis La Force, Jr., second mate, and
William Gill, a deckhand, living at 13T
Kent street, Rochester.
It Is not known at the office of the
Western Transit company where the
greater portion of the dead men hailed
from. The Idaho went out of commis
sion three or four years ago, hut this
summer she was thoroughly over
hauled. After her overhauling she was
placed at the disposal of the Naval
Veterans' association and by that or
ganization used as the flagship during
the G. A. R. encampment in August.
At the close of the encampment she
went Into commission again as a
freighter.
The captain of the ill fated steamer,
Alexander Gillies, was one of tha most
widely known of the lake seamen. He
was 41 years old and knew the lake
waters like a book. His brother, Don
ald Olllles, Is captain of the steamer
Harlem.
When the big steel steamer Mariposa
arrived In port with the news of the
disaster to the Idaho, and having on
board the two surviving members of
the crew, Captain Root of the Mariposa
had this to say regarding the storm on
tha lake and the rescue of the two
men:
"It was one of the worst galea I ever
experienced In all my years on the
lakes. We started from Chicago with
a hmd of oats. All the way down the
lake we had a light with the storm, and
I thought once or twice of putting in
somewhere until It blew over. . I'm glad
I didn't, for I fear that if I had these
two men who came down with me
would have gone to Join their mates
by this time.
"I was on deck when my first mate.
Myron Chamberlain, came to see me
and told me that he had sighted a spar
off to the north and that he thought
there were a couple of men clinging to
It. He pointed it out to me, and when I
got the glasses on It I could distinguish
the men plainly. We were running un
der a good head of steam at the time,
and I put on more and headed for the
spar.
"When I got near, I was puzzled how
tqihelp the men off, for I could not low
er a boat In such a storm. Finally I cir
cled about the spar until I ran along
side, and my men picked the poor fel
lows oft. They had to drag "hem away
from the spar by force, for they had
been there so long that their arms had
become almost dead and were twisted
about the mast and almost frozen fast
to It. When we got them on board, we
put them In bunks and gave them some
warm food and soups and had them
feeling pretty good physically when we
reached harbor."
The Fireman Identified.
ROCHESTER, Nov. 8. The unknown
fireman that went down with the Idaho
was named Richards. He lived at Osf
denshurg and was the son of Captain
Richards of the tug Thomas Wilson,

Merrill of this city, who asks $2, 00
damages for the alienation of his wife's
affections. Mr. Weldenhammer secured
ball and was released. The suit has
furnished unlimited gossip, the parties
being well known In social circles. Pro
fessor Weldenhammer says he Is the
victim of a gross mistake and that the
suit is for the purpose of extorting
money from him. There was a confer
ence for a settlement Immediately aft
er his arrest, but the musician refused
to pay the amount demanded.
The Veiled Woman -Identified.
TRENTON, Nov. 8. The Identity cf

In Norrlstown, Pa., has been establish
ed. She was a resident here for more
than a year, and was employed In the
shirt factory of Rothschild & Co. She
was popular as Laura Kaufman. Her
companions here do not believe she Is
isr.oclated with the murder of Mrs.
Kaiser, on whose life there was an In
surance policy of $11,000, and that she
was Interested with Mr. Knlser In the
benefits that would come from the
money. She has communicated with
none of her associates here since her ar
rest In Brlctol, where she was hiding
for some days.

FORCED TO STOKE.
Pnpleaiaat Expert ic ef a Teens; Amer

NEW YORK. Nov. 8. A young man
of well to do parents, who says that he
went to Europe on a bicycle tour, has
returned to New York on the American
line steamship Paris, on which he had
been compelled to act as a stoker, jits
name Is Charles Goepel, 19 years old,
the eldest son of Charles Goepel, a deal
ir In tools.
Young Goepel, in company with four
other youths, was found In the coal
bunkers of the Paris the day after she
lc-ft Southampton. The penalty for
stowing away on an ocean liner Is to
work one's passage by acting as stoker.
It Is not pleasant to shovel coal into
glowing furnaces. To cross the ocean
In that way is about as comfortable as
working a passage on a canalboat by
driving a team of refractory mules.
The young man Is slight In form. He
never did any hard labor In all his life.
He supposed that when found stowed
away he would not be .made especially
welcome, but that the company would
have to take him to New York, as well
as feed him on the way.
He told the officers of the Paris that
he had left New York six weeks before
upon the Atlantic Transport line steam
ship Mohawk. He took his bicycle with
him, a limited supply of clothes and a
still more limited amount of money.
He had read some magazine story about
the delights of a wheeling tour In Eu
rope at a cost of a hundred dollars or
so. Being fond of adventure, he took
such scrip and purse as he could and
started nut.
He said that he found living In Eng
lish taverns more expensive than he an
ticipated. He pawned his wheel for
enough to get to Southampton. He add
ed that he sent a cable message to his
father, asking for money. He received
no response and cor -luded to try his
chances as a stowaway.
KLONDIKE CRAZED.
Ration Try to Horn Their Hhlp to Get
Away and rtunt For Gold.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 8. The
whaler John Wlnthrop has arrived here
with a queer story of an attempt of
three of the crew to burn the vessel and
go to the Klondike. On Aug. 19, near
midnight, two fires were discovered, but
were put out without much damage.
Investigation showed that three sailors,
J. H. Krueger, Harry Jones and Os
born Dlgman, had started the fires with
the purpose of escaping In one of the
small boats to the mainland and then
striking out for the Klondike.
Krueger was the ringleader, and the
other two have made a full confession
of the plot Into which Krueger Induced
them to enter. A few days before the
fires the whaler spoke a fellow whaling
vessel, the Gayhead, and heard the first
news of the rich strikes near Dawson.
This news appeared to make Krueger
crazy. He talked or nothing else, ana
the plot to burn the ship was the result.
When the fires were set they were about
100 miles from St. Michaels.

accuracy and completeness that of any
other Btate in the Union. The camps of
all the organizations were noted for
their thorough police, the accurate
alignment of the tents and for com
pliance generally with the army regula
tions for castramotatlon. Captain Pax
ton reports that the duty of the brigade
during this service was performed In a
strictly military manner In all respects.
