Seattle Wash. February 17. Advices
from tho Lower Yukou river up to No-
vember 20 have been received here. They
indicate a scarcity of supplies at Kampart
City anil Fort Hamilton but thoro is no
fear of a severe shortage. Tho stock o
butter and sugar will need careful hus-
banding. Thero aro about 200 people at
Fort Hamilton and about 2000 at Rampart
City. Tho general health is excellent.
Tho steamer Monarch has a big cargo of
supplies at Dahl river; the steamers
Hideous Kvans and Mary Graff also have
through cargoes aboard.
There is soma fear for tho safety o a
number of river steamers when tho loo
goes .out ne-t spring. Among them aic
ttic' Herman Dawson City. Governor
Stonemau and Yukoner. They ' lie be-
tween Andrea falsi and the mouth of iho
Tanamn. h'ivo vessels whoso names aro
not known aro said to bo stranded in
Aphoon pass tho principal mouth of tho
Yukon delta. The greater part of tho ice
goes out this way. Tho crow of theso
vessels arc removing from them every-
thing possiblo in anticipation of their b-
lng crushed by tho ice.

Paris February 17. Everything Is very
unlet lh Paris tonight. Thero Is no danger
ot a coup d'etat. Tho favorite candhUto
for tho presidency is M. nmllo Loubct
noy president of tho senate. Still tho
ministers whom I saw today think that
Fauro's death Is a nilsfortuno at iho
present juneturo and this is the conven-
tional talk. They had all looked forward
to bis having fcoon to resign and they
spoke today of tho ppsslblo effect of his
death on tho courts of Europe. If M.
It.oubet Is elected European sovereigns
would soon trnnsfor to him their friendly
regards. Ho is u good unaffected level-
head'd wan of honest open life and
of far moro intellectual culture than poor
Fauro. Ho Is an advocato nirl practiced
at the Montllemar bar' iii'tho department
of Dromo. Montllemar Is his native- town.
As a precaution against n coup d'etat
or nny attempts of the sort tho troops
havo boon ordered to keep within bar-
racks In all tho garrisoiiB. Today the
whole official world has paid formal vis-
Its of condolence at tho palace the for-
mality consisting In writing tho visitor's
name on tho register. Piles of telegrams
from corporato bodies personal friends
sympathizers In all departments of France
and Indeed Europe nnd even Asia havo
arrived. Tho 'first to telegraph to Mmo.
Fauro was Emperor "William; tho next
Pr'lnco Ferdinand of Bulgaria. The army
has been ordered to go into mourning
I until after tho obsequies.
Public events In Franco have a strauge
suddenness and taico spontaneously of a
dramatic character. Thus M. Faure's
bcdySlioei'ln a salla des- fetes or hall ot
festivities. Tho cards had been lssuod
to CCOO persons to attend a state ball next
Thursday. Tpday the tapestries of the
hall room havo been taken down nnd the
room hung In black. M. Fauro had looked
forward with delight to ttie luyreo UPing
in 1900 the resort of sovereigns. Thu
last loiter ho had from Emperor Nicholas
was an acceptance of his (M. Fauro's)
Invitation. Ho took great pleasure also
in thinking that membership In tho Order
of the Annunciation would make him.
a "cousin" of King Humbert and tbe
insignia of that order was to havo been
presented to him by a special embassy
tUls month nut his soul was suddenly
required of him and all connected with
bis political career Is over. Ills death
preaches a sermon upon tho vanity of
human ambition.
M. Lockroy tho minister of marine Is
especially struck' with tho example M.
Faure's death gives ot the fragility of hu-
man greatness. Three times yesterday
he communicated with tho president on
naval allairs. M. Fauro was a formor
ship agent and charterer nt Havre and
being once himself minister of marine
deemed himself. a naval authority. Ills
naval hobby was a fleet of Corsair cruis-
ers to attack in case of war English
transatlantic steamers. M. Loskroy hu-
mored him and often consulted him and
now he can not realize that the president
is no more. He says ho feels as ho ence
lld during an earthquake. Tho total
eclipse ot the KlyiUan preparations for
fostivlty by tho deepest mourning ulso
comes homo to M. Lockroy.
Some fntullty fpllows tho presidents of
iho French republic. 0( six only Presi-
dent (irevy lived through a term of office
nnd ht was forced to resign by a hostile
vote of parliament. .
Marshal MacMahon found ho. could not
remain pifsldnt with dlgnUy-
51. Cnslmlr-I'erierte motives .for throw-
ing up tho situation are still 4i mystery.
Cnrnot was assassinated and Fauro smit-
ten as if by a thunderbolt.
M. Lockroy who yas present at tho
death thinks It was painless.
Dr- Lanne-Longuo shares this opinion
but believes that there wan. In the early

and thinks the consequent anxiety used
up his vitality. M.' FaUro hail fostered
tho scheme Major Marc'band was cent to
accomplish and ho was' terrified at Hs pos-
sible consequences.

Ho resigned owing; to a political up-'

The second was MacMahon lie

The next was Orcvy. He was lti

Ho was assassinated by an Italian

Next camo Caslmlr-rcrler who

Then camo Faure seventh presi-

the Idea ot a canter in tho Hols do Dou-

thoroughbred. He was fond of going to
jmall morning roviows at Long Champs
and of taking up a position besldo tho

I havo been to sco the Abbe ltcnault
who gavo M. Fauro absolution in ex-

Father Renault went nnd only learned
where he was going at thu palaco gate.
There tbo soldier said: "Tho oresldent Is
dying. Do what you can for him.' Ho l
not a bad chap." ...
At tho door a porter met tho abbo and
conducted him to tbo sitting roam. Tho
president was lying 'on a mhttrnsii upon
the lloor. He was In a Hannol shirt and
coM'red wllli draperies; his feet wcro
wrapped in steaming flannels hla nostrils
assailed with tho mingled smells -of. mus-
tard nnd ether and blood flowing from his
temples neck and forearm for loechos
cupping hypodermic injections and bleed-
ing had been tried.
The faco was almost blackened from con-
gestion. One doctor had drawn the touguo
to keep the lungs alive. Another held a
bag ot oxygen to tho nose a third was
ruiihlin: tho hands IJul no Hign of re
turning animation was given. Dr. L.aune-
I.oguo said: "Wo havo done all we can.
r.et religion console the family." The abbe
then gave absolution In extremis. He had
no holy oil to administer extrcmo unction.
In tho next room the ladles were sobbing.
The ministers camo In and dropped on their
knees. As tho clock on tho mantel struck

Somo person went Into the next room
to inform Mrs. Faure and her daur-htcm.

(Special Dispatch to The Post.)
Washington February 17. The senate
commltteu on commcrco today reported tho
river and harbor hill to tho senate and
as stated In these dispatches last night it
carries the Nicaragua canal bill as u rider.
It has also Increased the expenditure for
the next year by about 52000000 and for
the next two or threo years by about
$28000000. making tbo bill carry a total
expenditure ot about $12000000. This big
Increase nnd especially that curried by
the Nicaragua canal bill Ib going to cause
trouble lu the conference committee and
It endangers tbo llfo ot the onllro bill when
It again reaehos tho house.
It is well known now that Sneaker Reed
is bitterly opposed to nny N'lcamgua canal
legislation at this sosslou and It Is bc-
lloved that rather than allow tho bill to
Jiecdnni law ho vyould dump the. onllro
measure if possible the river and harbor
bill with it. Thltt could be done by him
without tho necessity ot an extra session
and tho frlendiTo? the Nicaragua canal
know It and aro working hard to head olf
tho speaker. They "aro trying to get tho
senate to also Inrorpornto Iho Nicaragua
canal bill In tho bitndry civil appropriation
bill when that reaches the senate If thoy
succeed thoy will havo a cinch on either
the passage of tbo Nicaragua canal bill at
this session or nn extra session Immediate-
ly. Tho extra session will become' n neccs-
Blty then In order to puss tho Biindry civil
nnnroorlatlon bill or tho wheels of govern-
ment must stop. This shows how. hard thn
friends of tho Nicaragua caunl aro work-
ing. So far as Iho Texas Items In the river
and harbor bill nro concerned thero wero
only threo changes made. Senator Mills
made u hard fight for DUffalo bayou ship
channel nnd won n signal victory obtain-
ing $2000000 for tbo enterprise and pjaby
ing It under tbo continuing contract sys-
tem. Unless the conference cpinmltteq
knocks this out. Houston may well pas a
voto ot thanks to Senator Mill Ills
amendment to tho bill is as follows:
For commencing the improvements
of the water route from Hie moutli of
lie jellies ill Galveston through the
existing ship channel and up Buffalo
Bavou to Houston including harbor
at Houston in accordance with the
project submitted by the board of en-
gineers November 3 1897 $250000;
provided that contracts may be
entered into by the secretary of war
for the whole or any part of such

ed for prosecuting the improvement
