Alaska, on tho Yukon (via Seattle), Aug. the steamer Hamilton drew up to this little Indian village and wood station this afternoon It found tho Alaska Commercial Company's river boat Delia tied up to the bank. Sho Is taking down eighty miners, nearly all of them with a big "sack." As tho Hamilton drew In the Bella's passengers lined up on tho shore to greet her and the newcomers, thsre was a noisy exchange of greetings. "You People nre Crnzyt" Lewis Sloss, of tho Alaska Commercial Company, coming out for tho was astonished at tho number of those going up the river at a time of year when ho and other wlso ones arc going down. Answering the greetings oC a number of acquaintances ho said: "You people have gone crazy." Later Mr.

Sloss was Informed that another shipload of people were waltlnt et St. Michaels for tho Bella. He. said at once that ho would advise them to go back whence they came, declaring flatly that there Is not food enough up to supply them. The coming ovor the pass are not bringing with them In sufficient quantities and a messenger had been sent to Chll- koot Pass to warn such as might noi have a full supply to go back.

Both the traulng companies have quit selling provisions to any but miners nmd they sell to them In tho most limited quantities. A check Is kept upon all sales and no more than provisions for a few days will be sold lo any OIK person. This precaution was found nee essary, as a few wealthy miners wen buying up all tho stocks as rapidly as they were landed, to the exclusion the others. Mr. Sloss said that this policy of limiting the sales will be con ilnued.

This plan works both ways however. While It prevents the wealth! er and heavy operators from getting all the stocks to the exclusion of others it also prevents these from buyliif, enough to enable them to ga Into th hilts for the winter prospecting. "All records have been broken thl year," said Mr. 'Sloss, "and there i no basis for computing what demand will be made upon our stores. Wo hav not taken provisions Into the countr In any proportion to number people who have gone in in excess the amount and the number of las year.

That would have been Impossible us the facilities would not perml Bo far as my observations go, th people who were coming in over th pass were not bringing provisions wit them. Therefore, there cannot help be Ing a scarcity and consequent distress and my advice to such as these Is turn around and go back. I Intend advise tho passengers who came up our boat, the Excelsior, and who ore now at St. Michaels, to go back to San Francisco and I will give them free transportation If they will accept It."

The Wolff Gas Radiator Manufacturing Company, a large concern at No. 448 Greenwich street. IB onKagcd In a lively legal battle with Its Superintendent and Vlec-PreaUent.

Aaron H. Wolff, Tho company, which Is one of the largest manufacturers of gas stoves and radiators in the country, has brought two suits In the Supremo Court ngulnst Wolff. The llrst suit Is to recover $4,600, which It is alliMed Wolff fraudulently diverted to his own use. The company allcRes that for three years It had contracts with Sllverman whereby the hitter agreed to do certain work on the stoves and radiators. It Is charged that Wolff was secretcly Interested in the prollts of Sllverman, iind on some contracts retained 10 per cent, ot the prlca which the company was to pay to Silverman.

On other contracts Wolff Is alleged tj have kept one-half of the contract price and to have Klvcn the company wrong vouchers. When these charges were presented to the Hoard of Directors they called a meeting on Sept. tl and a resolution dispensing with Wolff's services. The directors say that Wolff refused to be dispensed with, an.l on the following day went to work us usual, hiring and discharging men and superintending the' factory. They also say that Wolff declared Unit he would not cease to act Superintendent until he was forcibly prevented from doing so.

A second suit is therefore brought to restrain WolfC from acting us superintendent. Wolff, who is a man of means and high social standing, makes a sweeping da- nlal of tin- charges against him. and al- U'KfS a conspiracy on the part of the directors lo oust him from the company. In his answer, drawn by Abraham Levy, be declares the charge that he has violated his duly to the and nas taken large sums of money which represented he paid to Sllver- man, false. Ilij also denies that ho Kept any moneys which he represented ne paid Sllverman.

II" also says that Stl- vrrnuin revolved all the money duo him, Wolff asserts that ho organized tha corporation, and that' all tne patents. Improvements and Inventions owned by the plaintiff company were his property, or were 'Invented and patented by him and then assigned to the company. He further says that he assigned to the tho machinery and chatte.s which are used in the factory and formed the basis of the plaintiff's business. Wolff allpses that the charges nro the result of a conspiracy between the directors and Silvermun, whom Wolff discharged for cause, to force him to sell his stock In company at great loaa, and to remove him as Superintendent and Vico-Proildent of the corporation. The motion to restrain from acting us Superintendent will be heard by Justice to-day.
