Men Throw Awajf Packs and Provis ions in Mad Rush To Distress and Probably Death for Many of Them. Washington, Aug. 16.—William J. Junes. United States commissioner to Alaska, assignedjto St. Michaels, has sent to the intcrw department the fol lowing report on the gold rush in a let ter dated Uyea, Alaska, Aug. 4: There are nearly 1X00 people In Dyca and Sakagaway routes and both trails are blocked. People are throwingaway their their packs and provisions and rushing headlong to the mines. Great distress, hardship and suffering and possible death from hunger and exposure is sure to follow next winter, an opinion that is entertained by all old Alaska prospectors who have visited that part of the world In late years and know the situation.” Second Assistant Postmaster General Shallcnberger had been 'notified by tele graph that arrangements were made, today, for forwarding mails for the Alaska gold IlejdB by the steamer Humbolt, which} sailed this evening from Seattle. LAMENTABLY IGNORANT. Mob of KJondyke Adventurers Doesn't Know Which Way to Turn. San Francisco, Aug. 10.—Mr. Thomas Magee, well known as a ronsvrv.ilive bus iness man ami a careful observer, who accompanied his sun to Dyea, writes to The Associated Press from that point to the effect that the ignorance displayed !>y the crowds who are Hocking to the KIon dyke fields is lamentable. Of the 400 pas sengers who sailed with him on the steam er George Khler, half of whom are from San Francisco, not one in 20 had any defi nite information as to how to reach his destination. While the routes were well known, the details and conditions to lie met with are not considered, most of the searchers for wealth hoping to settle all doubts and uncertainties when they should reach Juneau. Instead, however, further confusion was created hy the ap palling statements that there were only two routes, each of which necessitated the encounter of almost insurmountable difficulties. There were plenty of advocates for Injth routes at Juneau, hut most of them were found to 1h* interested parties. The two starting point*. Dyea and Skaguay. ire separated hy four miles of salt water. The Dyea trail goes over the Chllcoot pass and involves a climb of 3500 feet, while the other, which is not yet com pleted, has a 2350-foot climb over the White pass, anti besides being six miles longer, is boggy in places. The Indians, who are the sole packers, all pack over the Chllcoot pass from Dyea. Nearly 500 pack animals are now' on route and on arrival will lie pressed into regular pack trains, which will remove the chief obstacle for the transportation of supplies over the 35 miles of land which is more formidable than that over the 500 miles of water on the other side of the pays. Aug. 7. a miner was drowned about a mile and a half from Skaguay. A teamster charged $10 for bringing tne corpse into town, and this so enraged the geo pie that he was ordered to leave town at once. He was offered $2000 for his wagon and team before he left for Ju neau. LIGHTHOUSE TENDER ASHORE At Bradbury Island But Amount ol Damage Not Known. Kocklaiul.

Hearing at Otis Falls. Otis Falls, Aug. 10.—An important hear ing was held, Monday, at Otis Falls, be fore a board ot referees composed of Hon. Nathaniel I!. Beal of Phillips. ex-Sherift .5 i I her t 'Miller of Wilton, and Postmaster I to her is Y.

When the new railroad from Canton across the Androscoggin river to Liver more Fulls was laid out, the Franklin county commissioners discontinued a portion of the main road running from fay Bridge south to Otis Falls on the way to Livermore Falls into Androscog gin county, ncorly ail of which lay be tween the lines of the Portland Uuin ford Falls extension and the line of the Maine Central from Lewiston to Farm ington, and they laid out a new county road beyond the tracks of the Maine Cen tral Railroad. The old road ran immedi tteiy by the residence of Mrs. Gareelon, while tlie new road ran some 40 rods back o'f her residence. The commission ers awarded Mrs. Gareelon $100 damages, from which she appealed to the supreme court, and tills board of referees was ap pointed by the court to settle the amount of damages due her. At the hearing, Franklin county was represented by County Commissioners Jabez S. Mooers of New Sharon, and Daniel W. Berry of Carthage, and Coun ty Attorney Ulmer E. Richards of Farm ington, while Hon. Henry L. Whitcomb of Farmington, appeared for Mrs. Garce lon. The referees, commissioners and coun sel passed the day viewing the premises, the location of the old and new roads In relation to the railroads and the Andros coggin river, and in taking the testimony of Mr. and Mrs. Gareelon. They were un able to finish their work, Monday, and the hearing was adjourned until next Monday at Farmington.

Washington, Aug. 16.—Acting Secre tary Roosevelt, today, issued the fol lowing order to Lieut. W. W.

Foote and Dupont and that these boats shall ire fitted out, ready for cruising in flotilla and ren dezvous at New York by the first of October next. "As soon as the flotilla is organized you will move south along the coast, looking in at such ports an may be designated by the department, or may be selected by yourself for visit and will work around into the gulf of Mexico and as far west as Galveston, Texas. "You will be ready to ascend the Mississippi above New Orleans in a good stage of water as early as possi ble, in March or April. 1898, and with out undue delay and upon leaving the Missippi river proceed to Hampton Roads. \v Ith the above limits or time and place you are Riven full discretion as to the employment of the flotilla and will be held strictly responsible for the value of the results of the cruise. “You are informed that the cruise of the flotilla as outlined above is con sidered necessary in order to determine, or to aid in determining the practical value of torpedo boats in extended operations along our coasts: the types of torpedo boats l>e fitted for the needs of this country, the most effective way to work in different types of boats to gether, the quickest way to make the personnel effective; and the value cl torpedo lioats service for training in piloting and scouting. "To accomplish these results you will use due dilligence in drilling the flotilla in such formations as service conditions would require: in keeping the individual boats in the best possi ble state of efficiency, in maintaining among men and officers a fively inter est in their work; in devising and car rying out such manouevres as will best demonstrate problematic matters upon which information Is needed; and in keeping the department fully informed as to all movements, drills, manouevres an.l exercises of the flotilla with the reasons for and results of them on both men and material.” I..ieut. Kimball, besides being active commander of the flotilla, will also be in command of the Rogers, which is not yet in commission. The Dupont is not yet in commission bfit it is believed that Lieut. Wood will command her. To each of the commanders of the Ericsson, Porter, Cushing and Foote, Secretary Roosevelt has issued an order directing that each boat be gotten ready for cruising in flotilla, and that the officers, from now until joining the flotilla, devote as much time as possible to exercising and training their respective commands in manoeuvering the vessels and in torpedo practice.

Lieutenant Gorria, whom ;the court has assigned as counsel to Angio lillo urged that the prisoner was de mented at the tltrie of thV Shooting and made a strong appeal tothebenevblenec of the Judges. While his council was presenting this plea Angiolillo listened in silence. Then he asked permission to speak for him self which was granted. He thanked Lieut. Gorria for his efforts and denied that he had any accomplices, or that he was an accomplice of those who committed the bomb throwing outrage at Barcelona, or that he had partici pated in secert gatherings of anarch ists.. When he began to discuss anar chist theories the president of the court interrupted him and threatened to stop him if he pursued that line of remark or touched upon any matters not con nected with the trial. Angiolillo persisted in speaking of politics and of the wars in Cuba and the Phillippines. The 'president said: “All that has nothing to do with your crime.” Angiolillo replied: “I must Justify myself.” The president retorted: "That is not justification. Moreover you can con vince nobody in that way.” Angiolillo began again, but the presi dent declared the trial ended and or dered the court room cleared. After the prisoner had been con ducted to his cell the Judges deliberated for an hour and then announced the sentence of the court. Flew But Net With Hie Machine. Afanitou, Col., Aug. 16.—Wm. B.
