WASHINGTON , Aug. 27 Several com

bound for thu Klondike county , but with
out provisions or money , are now being
landed at St Michaels , Alaska. None of

will book parties for the Klondike who aio
not provided with a sutllclent amount of
provisions and money to maintain them
selves for a reasonable time. But some
B I camera will ship any one who can pay for
Ills passage without regard to the future.
Tlio result Is said to be that a considerable
crowd Is accumulating In the vicinity of
ISt , Mlcheale , who already aio becoming de
pendent upon Iho charily of others for
their food , This unexpected situation , It Is
feared , will lead to trouble before the win
ter Is over , and tbe Treasury department
has been auked to Interfere to prevent ves-
tee ] from taking to Alaska persons not
properly provlued with subsistence. No way
ot exercising any federal authority in the

PITTSimno , Aug. 27. Coal operators ot
the PIttshurg district have not been asleep
during < the past few days. The lmpro slwi In
certain i circles that there would be no attempt
made to stm the mines se--ms to have been
established to divert the attention of ( ho
miners' olllclals It has been definitely de
cided to start several mines along the Wheel
ing division of the Ualtlmorr * d Ohio rail
road , and a decisive move can be expected
almost any time.
It was given out that the Cleveland
opeiators had gone to their homes for the
ostensible purpose of awaiting the result of
thu St. Louis convention. Some of them
went , but others did not. Those remaining
behind were members of the newly appointed
committee , whoso duty It Is to perfect the
arrangements for starting some ot the mines
and break the strike.
One of the first movea was to got In touch
with the railroad companies. The olllclala
ot the railroads at once agreed to co-opcrato
with the operators In bringing about. If pcs-
Rlble. an era ot activity In the coal produc
ing Imluatry of the Plttsburg district. The
expense of getting Imported labor Into the
district was discussed and the railroad com
panies agreed to share their portion of the
outlay
HIKING IMPORTED LAHOU.
After this agreement was made the work
of hiring Imported labor was taken charge
of by a special bub-committee. Just when
they will be brought Into the district could
not be learned. One of the principal rci ons
for selecting the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore & Ohio Is the fact that men can
bo brought In and unloaded in close prox
imity to the pit moutlh They can aUo be
brought Into the district from the couth by
way of Wheeling and would not have to be
transported through very much of the Pitts-
burg district Another reason advanced Is
the fact that the mines along this road have
been supplying coal for the locomotves of
the railroad and If coal Is not furnished
United States mill trains could not be run
and the wheels of the national government
would be Interfered v\lth Protection would
be forthcoming without any cost Imposed
upon the operatota , a& the government would
bo bound to protect and maintain Its prop
erty at Its own expense These plans have
all been completed and the work Is well un
der way
MINERS RESUME MARCHING.
Tor the first time fclnce Monday the
striking miners encamp d about the De
Armltt mines , resumed marching About
4 o'clock this morning 200 camp
ers lined up and started to vlalt the
ml'iers at Center , Unity and Clarkovllle
When the crosa .roads were reached the
marchers encountered twenty deputies , but
no attempt was made to stop the men. Chief
Deputy Young stated that there will be no In
terference vIth the marchers pending the
decision of the court In the CBEO of the three
men now under arrest for contempt .
The marchers then proceeded on their way
and were successful In perouadlug three
foreigners to strike. The strikers say fifty
men went to work today This , is an In
crease over yesterday. Superintendent Do
Armltt eaye 200 men are at work.
There will be a big demonstiatlon at Camp
Isolation tonight and the deputies will not
Interfere. 'Iho procession will start from
New Texao , and headed by two brafa bands ,
will march to the camp. Many farmers
and rtfaidcnts will participate , and It la ex
pected 1,500 persons will be In line.
Slabtown , the plague &pot at Unity , where
the negio railroad laborers have been holdIng -
Ing high cainival for beveral weekh , still
stands , but It will go up In flames and
smoke before the day Is over. Twenty depu
ties have been detailed to assist Constable
Kersten In applying the torch , and If there
la any resistance from the negroes , the
strikers stand ready to aid the peace officers.
There was the usual bhootlng In Unity camp
last night , but to far as known no one was
hurt.
The miners' leaders are more encouraged
than ever over the prospects of an early-
settlement of the strike In favor of the dig
gers. Efforts aic now being directed to the
mints along the Pennsylvania railroad , and
the central field of Pennsylvania District
President Dolan addressed a meeting at
Clarldge , Westmoreland county , last night
and the result was that the men decided to
quit work. This means the closing of two
mines of the Westmoreland Gus Coal com
pany , the largest company on the Penn
sylvania railway.
President Dolan says the work will be
systematically pushed and expects soon to
have all the mines Idle. He says six mines
have been closed In the central field , and
that work will be suspended In the region
within a short time. Sheriff Lowry went to
Bunola this morning , accompanied by several
deputies and ordered the strikers ! off the
public roads. An Injunction was eerved on
Captain Walker , who Is In charge , and also
several ot the men. The operators are pre-
pailng to start their mines , but It Is not likely
that any move will bo made until after the
St Louis convention and Labor day
The first attempt to start any ot the coal
mines In thl.3 district was made at the
Champion mines of Robbing & Co. , near Mc
Donald , on the Panhandle read , this mornIng -
Ing Two carloads of foreigners , gathered
up from about PlttBburg , were pent to the
Champion mines about daylight and put to
work loading slack Into cam. The miners
heard of the arrival of the new men and
500 women marched on the mine. The new
men were attacked with stones and clutn
and driven from the cars The women
followed them up and the foreigners , without
rrs'stlng fled to Noblestown. The women
then returned to McDonald and dumped the
slick that had been loaded from the cars
They were met by 1,000 strikers and headed
bv a band marched a short distance from
the mine , where they aie now encamped
watching for the return of tbo nonunion
woikers The company toys It Is deter
mined to load the slack and a conflict Is
expected If the new men are brought back
to tbo mine.

LONDON , Aug. 28 The Tlmcn' Paris cor
respondent declares that a definite treaty hca
actually been signed on the deck ot the
French ciulser Pothcau. It la said that the
tossta proposed at the banquet on the cruiser
were drawn up at Wednesday's conferences ,
thu" " enabling M. Hanoteatt\ , the French
foiclgn minuter , to renounce his Intention
of lemalnliiB In Itvieala , for a few days after
the president's departure.
iniUS , Aug. 27. The morning newspapers
of this tlty express delight nt the fact that ,
by the mention of the woid "alliance" In tlio
toasts ot the czar and President Faure on
boaid the Fiench ciulser Pothuau
at Cronstadt yesterday , the world
has been Infoimcd that a dis
tinct undcistandlng really exists be
tween France and Russia and thnt thla
understanding Is appaiciitly In the nature of
an alliance for the reservation of the peace
of Europe , though sonic of the Fiench
papers , the Rappcl , for Instance , are In
clined to believe that the alliance provides
for Russia's support of France In the event
of the latter attempting to le-conquer AUacc
and Lorraine from Germany.
The Gaulols taye othc mentioning ot the
word "alliance , " "such an expression was
not Inseitcd In the toast for nothing. It
was no mere verbal flourish There never
aio llourishcrs In the czar's toasts and wo
can only e e In It the vciy boul and Intplra-
tlon of the alliance "
The Solell remarks"Something Is
changed In the world today. The Franco-
Russian alliance makes its appearance ns a
greit force In the woild's Intel national
policies' "
The Radical says : "We dreamed ot an
alliance for a revenge , and we have an
alliance for peace We must bid farewell to
our patilotlc hopes"
T'IO Authoilte , however , takes a different
viewot the question , saying : "After the
car's reference to right and equity It Is no
longer foibl'UIen that France should think of
Alsace and Lorraine. "
The Solr says"The country will read
the nev.s with deep emotion France must
bo proud to think that ( he alliance solemnly
scaled , was announced on a vessel flying the
Fiench flag and lu the presence of ofllceia
of the French army. The two afllanced ni-
tlonu will henceforth be united In the
doubly sacred bonds or marrlaco and love. "
The Petit Parlslcn says : "Tho alliance Is
no longer a mere promise , but fait accompli.
131smarck's blasphemy that the might ft ; light
will not be true forever. "
The Rappel , In an enthusiastic article , re
calls that it has often been said that If the
alliance will only have the result of main
taining the "eternally abominable peace from
which France has been suffering for twenty-
six years It will be a gigantic deception. "
The czar , the Rappel continues , has said
that Russia and France arc j evolved to main
tain a peace founded on right and equity.
In conclusion the article says : "The
hour ot reparation Is about to strike. Alsace
and Lorraine will become French again and
the great peace spoken of aboard the Potuau
will bo built on the shattered debris of pow
ers founded on brute force "
It was seml-ofllclally announc ° d today tbat
conferences between the French and Russian
ministers of foreign affaire were held , firs'
In the presence of the czar and afterwards
In th presence ot Picsldcnt Faure. It Is
added that the results are most satisfactory
for the Intel e < its of Franco and Russia and
set the pace of the vvoild.

LONDON , 'Aug. ' 27 ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Ogdcn Goe-
lot passed quietly away today on board his
yacht Mayflower , In the presence of his
wife , son and daughter. It vvas a tragic
ending of ono of the uiosti ecnsatlonil social
successes ever made by an American In
England. Within thirty days the prince of
Wales had been his guest at Cowes for the
third time and the American hoot hud al
ready made plans for other Important social
enteitalnments Ills daughter vvas unques
tionably ono of the eensatlonal debutantes
of the season , and e > omo think her dctei mi-
nation to marry the young duke of Man
chester may possibly have hastened her
fathers end The old man felt veiy strongly
about It as cabled the World The suit of
the English nobleman vvas supposed to bo
favored by Mrs Goelct , In the dayo Imme
diately pieccdlng his demise he bald nothing
of the unpleasant affair.
Mr , Goelet knew death vvas coming and
tin eo months ago told a friend , Jefferson
W. Levy , "I know I chall , die before the
season ends. I have no doubt that I am
going fast. "
He had a. splendid residence In London
on Albemarle street , whcro he displayed one
of the notably beautiful Illuminations of the
queen's Jubilee. He alyo had a beautiful
villa at Cannes , where he passed the win
ters He rarely misted any entertainment
at the e\cluslve Reunion club , founded by
the grand duchess of Mecklcnbeig-Schwerln
with whom Mrs. Goelet was Intimate He
was also fond of coaching and made frequent
excursions from Cannes to Nice , often as
the guests ot Mrs U'aac Heel , widow of the
late United States minister to the Nether
lands.
For three weeks he was unable to take
solid food. On Tuesday , although ho was
attended by his own doctor , Dawson , other
medical aid was called In. Sir William
Broadbent , England's moat famous physi
cian , went to Cowes on Sunday and stayed
until the last moment. Goelet suffered from
chest affections and died from weakness.
The lowering ot the ownci's flag on the
yacht vvas the first Intimation given to anyone
ono outside the Immediate family.
The body will bo embalmed and taken
to Now York. It Is even said the great
hurry to take the lotnalns to his American
home may Induce shipment on the Paris ,
sailing from Southampton tomorrow ( Satur
day ) . EDWARD MARSHALL.

argument vvas opened by Hon. F. Peterson
on behalf of the Hrltlsh government. The
ground taken by Mi. Peterson was that the
United Statco did not oelze the property
of the sealeis for Its Intrinsic value , but to
prevent the carrying on of the scaling busl-
nofs by such vessels. This , It was claimed ,
WPS done in the face of promises given by
the United States government that a re
currence of the seizures of 1S8C would not
ho repeated ThW promise had not been
observed He further claimed on behalf of
his government reimbursement for all loss

PORT TOWXSEND , Wash , Aug. 27. The
steamer I'oitlaud , due from St. Michaels ,
hfla on board a murderer v\ho was chased by
detectives half way around the world , Ho
Is In Irois and under co.-stant watch of two
detectives The piteoncr , William Smith ,
was pursued over the 10 tlneiit to Juneau ,
to Dyca and acrces the Chllcoot pass , over
the laKca and down the ilveia to the gold
fields of Klondike , where ho was taken 'ato '
custody. Smith was a utoiekecpor In a
small town near Ctdir Raplda , la , up to
several months ago One night the store
was burned , and In the ruins was found
the chat i id body of a HIM. Smith's rela
tives asecitcd that ho was burcied to death
In the fire His life was Insured for $35,000
and a demand was made tor the money.
An Investigation led to the belief that the
body was not that of Smith , but that of a
watchman The theory was at once advanced -
vanced that Smith had committed murder
and burned his store In the houc that the
bndv would be roasted beyond iccognltlon
and his relatives obtain the Insurance money
after he had disappeared IMnkerton men
were put on the trail and atlc < - one of the
longest chases on record arrested Smith at
Dawson City on July 12 He was taken
to St Michaels , to await the sailing of

SENSATION AT CEDAR RAPIDS.
CEDAR RAPIDS , la , Aug. 27 ( Special
Ttlcgram ) On the night of l.vhiuary 3 the
store build'ng of Frank A Xovak at Walford ,
la , was totally destroyed by lire. In the )
rnlna were found the tiunk and skull of a i
man. The coroier'a Jury found they were
the remain * of Edward Murray , a young
farmer , who had accepted an Invitation to
sleep with Novak In the btoro that night.
Novak's filends have all along claimed that
ho was dead The icportcd captuio of Frank
A Novak at Dawson City , Alaska , has
caused the most tatcnso excitement In Cedar
Rapids and vicinity. While no word has ns
yet been received from the detectives , these
who have known of the movements of tbo
olllccrs are fully satisfied that the man who
gives the name of Smith , and who will soon
arrive at Port Towuseud , Wo h. , Is none
other than Novak.
A few days after the fire at Walford It was
learned that a man answering the descrip
tion of Novak had been seen tramping
through the country In Iowa and Johuson
counties It vvas afterward learned that this
man arrived at Iowa City on the Saturday
night following the lire , which was early
Wednesday molding , and that he took a
westbound train on the Rock Island , which
left there about 1 o'clock Sunday morning.
When he reached Omaha ho bought a ticket
for Portland , signing the name of F. A.
Smith to It. Thla ticket was afterward se
cured by detectives , and when the writing
was compared with that of Novak It was
found to bo the hamc He arrived at Port
land February U. He went from there to
Port Towasend , where he aiilvcd February
14 ,
SAILS FOR JUNEAU.
From that point he went to Seattle , where
he took the steamer Alkl on February 23 for
Juneau. Here he went under the name of fj
J A Smith and wns In company with a li
Chinese merchant , Lu Gons. Jloth were '
di Inking heavily on the entire Journey , and
put Ira much of their time gambling. Dur
ing all this time Novak wore the hunting
suit he had on when seen In the country
about Walford , a few days after the fire.
Passengers returning from Juneau on Iho
next steamer Identified the man traveling
as Smith as NovaK the moment they were
shown his picture , although he had shaved ; i
off his mustache. From Juneau Novalc left [ jj |
with a party of miners for the Klondike , and
the next heard fiom him he was playing a
violin In a dance hall at Dawson City. The
detectives , not knowing ho was a musician ,
were ready to give up thf chase when tiny
learned this On Inquiry here , however. It
was learned that he wa& an expert violinist.
This decided the matter In the minds of the
detectives. They had already secured requl- , _
sltlon papers from Governor Drake In the .1
latter part of May Learning he was on ' -I
British tenltory , they applied to Prcsldept [ jl
McKlnley and were granted extradition papers - '
pers , and on Juno 10 the detectives salted
from Seattle What happened fiom that time
until hla arrest and the manner of the ar
rest Is not yet known. The detectives prob
ably will anlvo hero with their man cither
Monday or Tueslay ,

It IB probable that he will be taken at once
