DAWSON IS FEVER STRICKEN.
Three llinus.ind Cum- of Typhoid In the
Klondike. Tnrn
Pout TownmiNP, Wash., Sopt. 87.
l'ho steamship Topclta has arrived
from Lynn canal ports with 1 30 Klon
dllccrs, 00 per cent of whom havo little
or no dust to show for their cxporleuco
In tho land of gold, and thoy all ex
press themselves ns ginu 10 get oiu
alive. Three thousand cases of typhoid
fever is tho estimate placed on the
number of sick In Dawson September
ft. A largo number of deaths occur
dally, of which no record Is uindc. The
cold weather comlug on soon will
check tho fovor.
It Is estimated that about 9,000 peo
ple Joined tho rush to Stewart river.
Nearly ovory foot of nvallablo ground
has been prospcoted, but no gold was
found. That section has been deserted
by all except a fow who hope to crcato
another excitement next summer.
Among the Topoka's passongors. was
Joseph I.aduo, tho founder of Dawson.
Ho says that many who return are
men that, ovon If tho country was one
olid mass of gold, would not mnko
anything, consequently they give tho
country a bad name. Ho admits there
is a great deal of sickness, but says
that Duw.son has n hospital for all tho

THEY DISCUSS TAXATION,
NOT THE ROBBERS,
Suspects Arrested nt St. Joseph Tnrn Out
to lie Cracksmen.
Kansas Ctrr, Mo., Sopt. 27. The
police thought for a while last night
that they had a good duo to tho Mis
souri Pacific train robbers when a tel
egram camo from St. Joseph saying
that three man had been arrested with
several huudrod dollars In burned and
blackened monoy In tholr possession.
Chief Hayes aont John Ualpln, In
speotor of dotoetlvo.s, to Bt. Joseph to
examlno thesuspeot.s, but Chief Hayes
matin up hLs mind later that tho St.
Joseph mon wore wanted at Ulon
wood, Iowa, for a bank robbory. This
afternoon a tolcgram from St. Joseph
announced that Inspector Halpln ond
tho railway and express detectives
wero posltlvo tho men wero not tho
robbers.
Ono reason why Chtof Hayes did not
bellovo that tho Rt. Joseph arrests
wero Implicated in tho train tbbcry
was becauso of better clues which ho
has In Kansas City.
Notwithstanding tho strong alibi
that John Kennedy establishes for Ida
whereabouts last Friday night when
tho Missouri Pacific express car was
blown un. tho pollco rofuso to bellovo
that he had nothing to do with tho
crime. Tho ofllcors who arc at work on
tho case, and thero nro many of thorn,
say thoy do not bollcvo that Kennedy
tyas ono of tho flvo mon who actually
did tho work, but they bellovo that ho
knew all about It. They bellovo that
ho camo to Kansas City Friday night,
mot some of tho real robbers, got his
sharo of tho booty and divided with
othor outsldo holpor.s. Chief Hayes
hlmsolf clings to this Improsslon and
declares that train robbing will not bo
brokon up hero until John Kennody
Is disposed of. ly tho police, Ken
nody is rogardod ns n very common
sort of law breaker, no is not cred
ited with being very cunning, but,
thoy aay, ho is bold, has much assur
ance and has backers who really are
deep nnd cunning.

Manila, Sopt. 07. Tho Filipino con
gress Is engaged In tho consideration
of tho quoitlon of raising funds to
defray expenses of tho maliitcnanco ot
tho army pending a decision by the
Paris conferenco. Hitherto tho army ot
tho Filipinos has been chiefly support

uatlvo government contemplate the
Imposition of various taxes. The in
habitants of tho Northern provinces,
however, fspeolally of Pampang nnd
Iloclos, flatly refuse to pay laud or
poll taxes becauso It was tho popular
impression that tho revolutionists
would abolish. taxation cntlroly.
The natives of Pampang and Pan

provinces of tho island, and thoso ot
Iloclos and Kumbnles, who are ho
sturdiest mountaineers, distrust the
T a gala and inblst upon tho establish

Agulnaldo realizes the 'difficulty of

but hopes that tho nations will allow
tho Filipinos a fair chance to show
that they nro capable of self-government.

liberty to say where.
"No, thoy did not como from Ger
many, and tho statements that havo
been mado that tho Filipinos nro so
crctly conniving with tho Germans
nro fnlbo and unjust. It l.s true that a
few days after tho destruction of tho
Spanish fleet in Manila bay represen
tatives of tho Gorman cmplro made
proposals to tho insurgents to aid
them In forming an Independent gov
ernment. This offer was refused, tho
reply mado to tho Germans being that
under an agreement entered Into be
tween Agulnaldo and Admiral Dewey
tho Insurgents woro in honor bound to
refuse the offer."
Agonolllo was naked what would be
tho attltudo of tho Filipinos and the
provisional government if tho outcome
of the poaoa negotiations should bo
that tho inlands should pass Into the
hands of tho United Statos, clthor for
temporary or pormanont control. Ho
replied: "Whether or not tho Fili
pinos would forcibly resist such a dis
position of tho Islands I cannot state.
Tlio question would go beforo tho
assembly, and Agulnaldo'n attitude
must, under the constitution, bo de
termined by notion of that body. Tho
form of tho provisional governmont Is
thoroughly republican. Hut I will say
tho feeling oftho peoplo of tho Philip
pines witu regard to me quomou
would dopond largely upon what form
of govorumant tha Americans would
propose, it it meant simply ttio con
trol of tho islands by tho United
States, the government of this country,
assuming the responsibility of main
taining good order and controlling tho
revenues of tho Islands, I do not think
tlio feeling against such a move would
bo strong, though tho Filipinos aro
nnxious to govern themselves, but if
tho Unltod Statos takes tho Islands for
tho purpose of colonization, which
might eventually crowd out tho native
people, In ray opinion there would he
greater difficulty in bringing the peo
plo ot tho islands to submission.
"Our appeal to the United States In
for aid in securing what wo most do
slre nnd what wo bellovo to ba for tho
best Interests of the islands. It is not
made with the purposo to play Into
the hands of any other nation, and If
tho Filipinos nro not to govorn them
selves there is no nation thoy would
moro profor to be governed and con-
'trolled by than tho United Statos. As
to tho possibility or maintaining an
orderly and harmonious government
among tho peoplo of tho inlands if It
Is left to them, many opposing argu
ments hnvo been urged, whtoh aro In
largo part groundless."

Mr. Coudert said: "It la illogical to
