B. c., sars:-msartul reports have been re- ceived here regarding the condition of miners on the Ashcroft route into the Yukon. It had been said that between 500 and 1,000 prospectors. many com- pletely destitute, were strung out along the route, and that help would have to reach them soon or many of them would die. These statements are confirmed by a party of Manitob- ans who, travel-worn and disheartened at their failure to get to the gold country by way of Ashcroft, arrived at Telegraph Creek about Sept. I.

Chief Inspector Mel- ville had recently redoubled the vigil- alice of his detectives in Soho in anti- cipntion of a possible plot in connec- tion with the enlhronement of the Queen of Holland.

A reporter visited the principal An- archist clubs in the West-end of Lon- don.
