ALASKA BOUNDARY SURVEY ENDED
McGrath and His Party Return After
Two Years' Work.

Two Years Work.
BAN Francisco, Oct 2-The United States
revenue cutter Richard Rush arrived here from
Boring sea this morning. The Rush left Una
laska on September p Among those whom the
cutter brought down from the seal islands were
Special Agent J. Stanley Brown, DIR. sheldon
Jackson, government agent for education in
Alaska, and the McGrath party, who have been
two years In upper Alaska, about Fort Yukon,
surveying the United States boundary line No
sealing schooners had been seen In Boring sea
for some time before the Rush left Many had
been warned during the season, but only the
British schooner E. B. Marvin was seized by the
Rush What has been accomplished by Nc
Grath's company, further than that the boun-
dairy of Alaska has been determined at the inter-
section OF the Yukon river with Forty Mile
creek, McGrath refused to say until his report
had been made to Washington City. Regard
ing the experience of the party, however, he
was less conservative. He said:
We left here in June, 1859, and reached our
headquarters on the Yukon river on August Is.
1889. Camp Davidson, as We called our camp,
was located about 100 miles from the mouth
all our observations were made, and
our only mode of transit through
the country was by this river. Every clear
weathe- was not favorable, and this necessitated
our staying on the river during the second wear
We struck camp and lett on June y, of this
after staying there twelve or thirteen days we
were picked up by the cutter Bear and carried
to Unalaska, whence we came here By the
Rush.
Some time after the McGrath party LETT here
their provisions for the winter were carried mn
the river by the steamer Arctic. The goods
reached St Michae.s and were transferred to
the Arctic, which was wrecked near the mouth
of the Yukon. The men secured proyisiona

Russia Preparing for War.

LONDON, Oct. 2-Poultney Bigslow, Of New
York, who has been making long canoe trip
In Southern Europe, has returned to this city
after three months absence. In an interview
he says:

an anti-foreign crusade ID concerned, more ser
ious than reported. The anti-Jewish crusade 10

Jews perhaps are the lghtest sufferers. Ger
mans, Poles, and all non-members of

people, with those who have money

property is one OF the inevitable consequences
There are 150, $50 Russian soldiers on the Rouma-

A SCENE IN TEXAS.
! Lively Time on Il. Il o. Train Near
iyellaire.

The Saturday afternoon accommoda a
tion on the Is. & o., reminds one OF =
ride in Texas or some countr where
law and order cut a small figure. On
Saturdays several hundred people come
to Belaire to trade. The whole crowd
goes home on the evening train. The
company provides two cars for the mui-
iituje, and ladies, gentlemen, drunken
sops, market baskets and all the goods
purchased by these people are crowded
into this limited space. Usually there
is a gang of fellows who have been in
town Sampling the various kinds of
whisky, aboard, and those unable to
find seats, perambuate back and forth
through the cars, swearing and jostiing
ladies and children VINO are compelled
to stand up if they want to ride. Satur-
day there was terrible mob on the
train. About fifteen or twenty miAers
from Quincy made Rome howl.
A gallon jug of whisky had
been lost and great fuss was made
about the liquor. Great, big, awkward
men moved about swinging their fists
and using language that would have
made Satan himself blush. Finally
fight began and several heads received
painful kicks and knocks. The lady
passengers were compelled TO remain in
the car and make the best Of matters.
When the train arrived at Quincy most
# the mob got off and then general
fight enSued, and the belligerents were
still pummeiling each other when the
train left. The company owes its pas
sengers some protection ana they should
have it. Three cars should be attached
to the train on Saturday afternoon
and all the DULLES should be crowded
into the extra car. 1t is bad enough for
ladies' to be crowded into the same car,
but when they are compelled to mix
with drunken gang it isa imposition.

Take Care of a Mans Clothes.

It is not a very difficult task to take
care Of ones clothes, said a man wbo
though he has but moderate means,
always appears we'll dressed, aud it pays
to do it, 1t is better to have a NUM- Der
of suits and to wear them off and on
than to wear one suit continuously until
you are ready to lay it aside for another.
If you have, say four suits, aud change
every day or two they will retain their
shape and freshness better than four
suits each worn steadily during a
quarter of that period. When clothes
are worn constantly the creases in the
coat sleeves and the lunches of the
knees OF the trousers become pronounced
and confirmed, and they cannot be
pressed out so that they will stay out.
II clothes are hung properly after wear
ing, their own weight and the elasticity
OF the cloth help to preserve their shape.
A man should never hang mp his coat
by loop made for that purpose if he
can avoid ii; if hung i'll that way it will
sooner or later sag out of shape. 1t is
almost impossible to fold coat so
smoothly and neatly tnat it will not
crease; it is certain to do SO i! it should
be left for a few days, especially in damp
weather.-The.e is just one proper thing
to do with a coat when it is not in use,
and that is to hang it up carefully on q
coat hanger.
My house is small and | have only
one room to myself, and that room has
no closet; keep most of my clothes III
wardrobe. put walking stick in the
middle row Of hooks screwed into the
under eide of the shelf, and hang the
hook of the coat hangers on the walking
stick. When hang up a coat am of
course careful that it and the coats on
each side of it are left smooth. The
coats hang pretty well together, but
they are in an even row, and some part
of each is visible. 1 don't have to pull
them about to find the coat want, and
my coats are not SO numerous but that
can identity each one at a glance.
OF course the best thing 20 do with
trousers is to Lang them on hanger,
bnt tie next best thing is to fold them
and lay them at full length. They must
be folded true and smooth. SO that the
creases will come exactly right. |
haven't room for the proper care OF coats
and trousers, too, SO l pile my trousers n
the bottom of the wardrobe. The edges f
each pair are in view and selection is easy.
to lift OFF those and then put them back.
This is a slight Inconvenience, but it is
far better to take that trouble than to
hang your trousers up by the straps,
which should never be done

What is a "Carat 2"

The word Carat" comes from the
Abyssiniap name of bean. 1t cores
ponds in weight with a certain species of
East India bean and was originally used
only as a weight, in the same manner as
our word grain" comes from grain of
wheat, and has also its average weight.
The exact relation of the carat to the
grain, Troy weight, is in round numbers,
as 4, COS to /, 1S5; or, in other words, |,
1S5 carats are equal to COS grains Troy
| BY division OF the last number by the
first we find for the weight OF a carat
3.Se grains very nearly. The carat is the
| weight by which jewelers. sell diamonds.
The carat is now only used for weighing
precious stones and pearls, because the
grain is too small.
In ancient times it was used as the
unit of weight for gold, but is now, on
account Of the greater abundance of that
precious metal, superseded by the ounce
Ia regard to the alloy of gold, it has
been accepted to take 24 carats of gold
or SO grains, very near, as the standard
of pure gold and to call gold, in which
20 carats i'll "A carats are pure, gold,
gold of 20 carats; when three fourths Is
pure, or Is carats, in "a carats, it is
called Is clrats gold. So in regard to the
alloy of gold, the word carat has become
similar to the expression OF a percent
age, with the difference that "a is substi
tuted for 100. So is carat gold is iden-
teal to - per cent. fine; IL carat to 30
per cent. fine, etc. That this manner of
estimating the value is kept up is simply
due to the custom of following the
duodecimal system in making alloys,
which naturally drives to US the express
sions, 70, so or 80 per cent. when speak

Indians Can Whip Our Army.

Major General Schofeld commanding
the army, has made his annual state
ment on the condition of the army, etc.
He points out the fact that one-half OF
the army was called into the scene OF
action during the Indian hostilLies in
the Northwest last winter, and says
that were an Indian outbreak to occur
the regular army would be much too
small to cope with it. He does not fear
an Indian uprising and says that fair
treatment will insure permanent peace
among them.
The General recommends the reorgan
ization of the army On the battalion
plan. with four companies. troops or
batteries in each battalion. He speaks
highly of the work done recently in the
line OF coast deienses.
Speaking of the promotion sys,em in
the army, the General recommends it
very highly, and says it Will do mach to
ward increasing the mental status OF
the troops, and urges the young officers
to continue their military studies.
