The ProspQotors Perfect an Organiza

Malcontents Must Submit Canadian
Police Promise Regular Malls.
Seattle, Sept. 6. The following has
been received from Skaguay, Alaska,
dated Aug. 28: Sylvester Scovel, of the
New York World, landed yesterday
morning at Skaguay by a specially
chartered tug from Juneau, with two
tons of blasting powder and the neces
sary tools to equip seven complete
crews for rock work on the Skaguay
trail, and as fast as horses and men
could, cet at.it it was started to the
front.
In the evening there was a meeting
at the foot of the first hill, attended
by over 500 miners, who organized for
the work in front of them and elected
an executive committee, consisting of
James Christie of Portland, president;
Philip Adams, secretary; C. A. Cramer
of Seattle, Mr. Heacock and Mr. Day,
superintendents, who selected , ex
perienced men for the work on the rock
hills and veteran loggers for "the work
of corduroying the muddy places.
There were 30 Canadian mounted po
lice also on the trail. They heve pitched
in with a prood will, and say that the
building of this trail will enable them
to get in the. 70 tons of tprovisions in
time to build and provision the mail
stations in their territory, so that they
can operate the dog teams all winter,
and they agree -'to deliver the mail
every two weeks from the Klondike to
the American line. Work is in progress
for 15 miles alons the trail, and all
travelers' packing has been suspended
until it is completed.
There ha e been some kickers, as
urual, but thoy are so much in the
minority that they have had to sub
mit.. While I believe this trail will be
complete in ten days, so that travel
can be resumed, don't start for this
point exrecting to get over it for at
least 30 days, as it will take that long
after the trail is completed to get all
the miners over that are now there.
There would never have been so much
trouble for small parties, but the
swarm of people, 95 per cent of whom
were tenaeneet ana Knew notnmg
about backing and mountaineering, has
been the cause of congestion at this
point.
The first reports about this trail were
inspired by ill treated parties who are
trying to start a town here, and who
are also in the whisky business. Not
nearly so many discouraged prospect
ors are selling their outfits for a song
as has been reported, but a good many
Who started for the Klondike have
given ux that idea, have turned to
town site buyers and are erecting all
kinds. of buildings and are establishing
themselves for the winter as best they
can. One week a.zo lumber could bfc
get for $27 per thousand. Now it is
$50, and none for sale even at that
figure. Rubber boots, heavy shces and

The Klondike excitement has turned
the whole attention of the world this
way. and will result in opening this

done. On board the steamer Queen on
this trip are two parties, one organized
in Chicago, consisting of four gentle

mission merchant and assayer, all
under the guidance of L.. L. Bates, who

Low of Supply and Demand Reariilates
the Price of All Commodities.
St. Louis, Sept. 6 The Post Dispatch
prints a letter from William J. Bryan,
the first utterance after three months
of travel and observation during the
return of prosperity. Among other
things he says: -
"Wheat has risen because the foreign
crop has been exceedingly short. The
fact that silver and wheat have parted
company will cause no dismay to those
who understand that the law of sup
ply and demand regulates the price of
both. Nothing can better disclose the
weakness of the Republican position
than the joy manifested by the Re
publicans over events for which their
administration and their politics are in
no wise responsible.
"If the Republicans desire to claim
credit for the price of wheat they must
assume the responsibility for the fam
ine in India. A great rise m price
should be followed by a rise m wages
Mr. Bryan says that the joy over the
increase of money from wheat is evi
dence that we have too little money
that if the farmers are benelited by the
rise in one of their products how much
better it would be if the rise was uni
versal: that the price of wheat will
fall when the foreign demand becomes
normal, and that the present spasmod
ic rise will aid rather than injure the
cause of bimetallism.

A Resumption of Work Expected In
All tlie Mines Till Week as a Re
sult of the Convention to Bo Held
In Columbus on Wednesday.
Columbus', O., Sept. 4. The end of the
rrrcat miners' strike is in sight. Yes
terday afternoon the national execu
tive board of the United Mine Work
ers agreed to recommend to the min
ers a proposition from the Pittsburg
operators lor a straight price 01 ta
cents a ten,' to continue in force until
the end of the year. A delegate conven
tion of all miners who have suspended
work "has been called to meet in' Co
lumbus Sept.. 8 at 10 a. m., to act upon
the recommendation. President Ratch
ford and other members of the board
say there is not the slightest doubt
that the miners will approve the rec
ommendation. The proposition does not
involve arbitration, and in effect pro
vides for an immediate settlement of
the strike, i
Pittsburg, Sept. 6. Expectations are
high in coal mining circle's over the
probable resumption of work in the
mines throughout the country. In an
ticipation of a settlement at Columbus
next Wednesdav another plan has been
suggested by a representative of one
of the largest operators which will be
agitated immediately after the men
return to work. It will be formulated
and submitted to the joint convention
of operators and miners, which it is
proposed to hold next December.
In order to co'me to an understanding
on all questions at issue separate wage
scales are to be formulated for each
mine. The scale is to provide for the
rate to- be paid for the entire year, and
any special concessions that are to be
made are to be agreed upon by the
miners and operators, and so-specified
in the scale. The scale is to be an ad
junct to the uniformity agreement
which is expected to be in force. The
proposition will be made by the oper
ators in the hope of getting all the safe-

strike. '
It is well known that there are no
two mines in the entire district Where
the conditions are exactly aiiKe. ine
uniformity agreement covers the gen
eral points, but even with it in ex
istence some operators would be sub
jected to difficulties, while others would
have special advantages. The scale is
to cover all these points, the primary
object being to avert differences, create
a mere friendly feeling between the
employers and employes 1 and restore
perfect harmony throughout the dis
trict. "'

committees of the Citizens' "union. He
was notified of his. nomination by J. C.
Clark, a special messenger of the Cit
izens' union. In reply Mr. "Low read
f, prepared statement, in substance as
follows:
"As soon as I can I shall prepare a '
letter formally accepting-the nomina
tion for mayor of New York offered me
by the Citizens' union, actfng on be-
half of its own membership of 25.000
citizens, and also on behalf of 102,000
other citizens, who, without regard to
larty affiliations, have expressed over
their own signatures the desire that I
should be nominated and eleceted.
"In my view, the nomination has thus
been virtually already made by the peo
ple. No patriot, under such "circum
stances, could decline to stand unless
he were prepared to discourage, even in
local matters, all spontaneous move
ments by the people outside of the lim
itations of party.
"I am not so vain as to believe that
the unprecedented expression of pop
ular confidence is in any overwhelm-,
ing sense a personal tribute only. I
thing it rather means that the people
are deeply moved by the jlesire that,
when the great cit begins its new ca
reer, it shall do so with a mandate from
the voters to the 'officials of the city'
that the welfare of the city, not of any
party, is to be their first concern. For
that princiole I am known to stand.
For it I shall contend In the coming
campaign, with such allies as time may
bring: but for it I shall stand, be my
friends, few or many."

Pittsburg. Sept. 6. The United Labor
League of Western Pennsylvania, at a
largely attended meeting last night,
broke into re.volt against Samuel Gom-
pcrs, president of the American Fed
eration of Labor, and serious charges
were made. The trouble originated, in
expressions made by Gompers in ref
erence to the recent convention of la
bor leaders in St. Louis. He is credited
with making unkind remarks about the
gathering, and casting reflections on
those who were foremost in the mee.
ing. Gompers had a few defenders in
the meeting, and at one time there was
danger of a free fight.
