San Francisco, Aug. 27.—Stanley Pearce, a mining engineer, of Denver, who has just returned from Alaska, tells of the arrest of Arthur Pearce, the partner of Alexander McDonald, the so-called "King of the Klondike," for the theft of $20,000, half the amount taken from a claim owned by the men. Pearce is said to have escaped on the steamer Governor Stone-man. He was captured and taken on board the steamer Monarch by a Canadian official. The miners on board the vessel threatened trouble, and Pearce was quickly transferred to another vessel and sent back to Dawson.
