Fairbanks, F'b. Cripple Creek and Goldfield meth
ods are being intr >duced in the conduct of the labor strike
here. Tlu* rough element has been busy during the last
several days. Ln.>t night the stage to Esther creek, carrying
several miners g^ing there to fill the place of strikers, was
held up and the men savagely assaulted by a crowd of un
ion miners. Walking delegates of the Western Federation
of miners are on the creeks agitating for the inauguration
of a general strike. The feeble response of miners to the
last call for strike, issued on the first, has put the leaders
on their metal an i trouble is expected, Appeal has been
made by the operators to the commandant at Fort Gibbon,
at the mouth of tue Tanaua, two hundred miles down the
Tanana river. It is probable troops pill be ordered here if
any further acts of violence are made.

FE MID STORM 11 SEA
FEARFUL EXPERIENCE OF PASSENGERS AND CREW OF STEAMER SAINT CUTHBERT,
BURNED TO THE WATER'S EDGE? FIFTEEN LIVES LOST
(United Pre?? Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Halifax, Feb 5 ? The steamer Cumeric has arrived here
with thirty-seven survivors of the steamer St. Cuthbert,
burned at tea during the progress of a terrible blizzard.
The story of suffering told by the officers of the Cumeric
and the survivors alike is appalling, Fire was discovered
in the hold of the Saint Cuthbert at night in mid ocean
during the progress of a terrific gale carrying blinding sleel
out of the north. The crew fought the fire with despera
tion but it gained upon them steadily. The passengers
were called and enlisted in the fight. When the fire broke
upon the upper works and deck the panic, with the storm
raging and giving terrifying speed to the flames was be
yond description.
When the fire was seen to be beyond control the boats
were ordered to be lowered and the rush for places in them
caused one to be capsized. Under the circumstances rescue
was impossible and fiteen persons, several of them women,
were drowned in the icy waters.
The Cumeiic sighted the fire at a great distance and
bore down toward it, arriving in time to pick up the
occupants of the other boats, 37 in number, The Saint
Cuthbert burned to the water 's edge.
The passengers and members of the crew picked up
were in a pitiable condition of cold and exhaustion and but
for the appearance of the Cumeric could not have survived
in the storm, being without eithev clothing or food. They
were cared foi*and arrived here H? good health.
Seattle, P. I. J no 26? Days of the ICIoo
dike were recalled Friday evening
when the ateamship Saratoga pulled
away fron pier 4. bound for Valdez and
other Prince William sound ports. In
her hold she carried everytning from
railroad material to the latest style of
millinery for the Alaskan women whose
husbands are on the paystrrak.
The Saratoga carried about 200 pas
sengers. Many of them are bound for
theTanana, where a number of strikes
of late have not only caused operators
who are wintering outside to hasten
back, but many men are going North
encouraged by the bi? pay and steady
employment that is offered to the
working miners.
"U loo'-cs like the good old dayV

"If this keeps up, and it looks like it

"Al ska will enjoy a great rush ibis

being made constantly, and word has

previous' season, evidence that a vast
area of n< w ground has been opened
up.
"In addition to this the strike on Val

strike on Nolan creek in the Koyukuk,
where pay as rich as whs found in the
Klondike has caused many a man to de
cide that he will cast his 'lot In the

Fairbanks will see the greatest travel
of its history this winter.

(By United Preis.)
Washington, Feb. 5? As tho winter
wears 00 towards spring and congress 1
is engross' d witb other matters under
tbe spur of the president as well us that 1
of constituent^, It becomes apparen'
that tbe matter of tariff revision, which
many h<ve urged as tho most import
ant now before the country, cannot be
given that consideration which any
nttempt to meddle with it at all, would
demand. Therefore, it is formally an
nounced by the leaders of the republican
side that no such attempt will be made
this session. In this connection, how
ever, it is also announced that the tariff
will be made a sort of special order for
the next congress by the republican*.
Walter Clark, Washington corres
pondent of the P.-l., under date of Jan
uary 25, wired the following: "A fine
row developed today over the recent
postmaster appointments at Skagway
and Valdez.
Mr. Cale did not tnicce words in talk
ing about the incident, but expressed
bis mind freely.
"I should like to know," he said,
' what business .he R vomer has io
meddling with the appoint men's when
Aiaska has a delegate here.
"I recommended good men and tbeir
names were withdrawn. I never beard
of Miller, whose appointment for the
Valdez office has been sent in."
Gov. Hotf(?att tonight disclaimed any
desire to be concerned in federal ap
pointments for Alaska, but said that
* hen bad appointments were proposed,

opinion as to the question of unfairness.
Mr. Cale said this afternoon that he
wculd take the matter up with the pres
