REINDEER IN ALASKA.
Need of These Animals for Trans
pOrtatfon Of Teams.

DR.. Sheldon Jackson, general agent of
education for Alaska, Is en- route home.
after making his annual trip of inspection
and forwarding the work OF importing
Alaskan reindeer into Siberia. A. communi-
cation has been received at the Interior De-
partmelt reporting his arrival in San Fran
cisco and reviewing the seasons work in
Siberia. 1t indicates that the Laps a COL
oEy OF whom has just been brought to the
reindeer station, have already shown their
superior skill over the Siberians In hand
ling reindeer. During August IlS head of
deer were taken from the herd and given
TO the Congregational mission at Cape
Prince OF Wales as the nucleus Of second
herd. Arrangements have also been made
TO loan after next month 100 head to
natives named Antesiook SoonawhasIe
lzlkslc, koktowak and Iuppuk for five
years. When the contract expires 100 head
or deer will be returned to the government
ana the increase remain private property of
the Eskimos caring for them. This third
nerd is the first step made toward giving
the Eskimos personal interest in the en-
terprise.
Urgent requests have been made to the
government by miners and traders in the
Alaskan interior for reindeer teams for
transportation purposes. Nearly all the
mines now being worked and the larger
number now being discovered in the inte-
rlor are on small streams. The Yukon river
steamers bring supplies to the mouths of
these streams, whence they are taken to
mines by small boats or sleds and dog
teams. On Forty Mile creek sufficient dog
teams cannot be procured to provide the
necessary transportation of supplies and
there Is growing need for reindeer trans
portation. With the new mines and more
general prospecting of the new sections the
need of trained reindeer Is deemed more
urgent.

HEALTH OF THE ARMY.
Facts From the Annual Report Of
Surgeon General Stcrnberg.

Surgeon General Sternberg, in his annual
report to the Secretary of War, gives some
interesting details In regard to the health
of the army during the past fiscal year
Relief was afforded under the appropria.
ton for Providence Hospital Washington
to 1,Ool destitute patients. The average
number treated daily was 104 and the av-
erage number of days treatment per case
was 80. The surgeon general makes an
argument against the wisdom of recent
legislation reducing the number of officers
In the medical department and expresses
the opinion that the service would be ben.
Gifted by restoring the medical department
to its former status.
He says he takes pleasure in reporting
the successful establishment of the army
medical school at Washington, without
extra expense to the government, and says
progress. He indorses the recommendation
of Col. Alden, president OF the faculty, that
the examinations of student officers at the
close of the session be taken into consid-
Grafton In determining relative rank.
The health of the army differed but little
during the year from that shown by the
best of our medical records. The admis-
sion rate was practically the same as for
the previous year, when II was a great i'm
provement on he annual average rate OF
the previous decade, and only slightly
greater than the lowest rate ever furnished
by our troops In the year 1887.
At Fort Myer and Washington barrack,
the increased rates Jesuit from autumna
fevero; at other seasons these two posts
have excellent records.
Overcrovding in guard houses was OF
more common occurrence, and exception
was taken to the dilapidated and otherwise
unsuitable condition of the building in sew
eral instances, as at David's Island, n. vs.
Fort Marcy, y. M; Fort Sherman, Idahoi
Fort Myer, Va, ard the Preside OF San
Francisco, Cal.

WEATHER BUREAU WARNINGS.
vessels and Their Value Believed to
Have Been Saved by Them.

The Agricultural Department has issued
statement showing that during the storm
of September 24-29 1.OS9 vessels, valued at
sl7,lOO,O0O, and In the storm Of October
$40 l,2l6 vessels, valued at SO, 1873, 900, re-
manned In port on the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, secure from danger throughout the
periods for which warnings were issued by
the weather bureau. This makes a total Of
2,305 vessels. valued at $50, 2S3, 600 a large
proportion of which, probably, would have
gone out but for the warnings. 1t is fair to
assume 1t is stated, that had they done so
nearly all of them would have encountered
the storms and been more or less damaged
If not entirely lost. The records of those
who went out in face OF the warning show
that in every instance they suffered severe
injury or were destroyed.
Reports from the region traversed by the
storm give the warnings credit for saving a
large number of lives, one station alone
Charleston-reporting over 100 lives prob
ably saved by this means

FROM THE FATHER LAND
HERR MIGUEL GETS HIS FIRST
BAD SETBACK.
German Comm mcrcial Tresties and Finan-
cial Legislation-Herr Miguel
InsuIted at CONNER
cial Banquet.

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-[Copyrighted, 1894,
by the Associated Press. The advisory
council on duties assemblies January
18th for the discussion of the Russian
treaty. The prospects of the adoption
of the treaty by the reichstag have
frightened recently. DR.. MIGUEL, min
lister of finance, this week practically
suffered his first great defeat since his
appointment to his present Office. The
decision OF the Center party to oppose
the tobacco tax demolished the chances
OF the succes OF his financial scheme, as
a whole, though it would be rash to
count without MiquePn skill as par
liamentary tactician. 1t is probable
that some modification will be accepted
and the government will only raise a
sum barely sufficient to cover the i'm
mediate military necessities.
The committee appointed to discuss
the etamp duty bill, which will also
handle the remaining financial meas
ures, today adopted the amendment OF
Singer, Socialist, subjecting foreign
shares owned in Germany, as we'll as
home shares, to a tax OF | q per cent
The reichstsg finally adopted the pro-
visional commercial agreement with
Spain.
The arrest OF two shoemakers, Koenig
and Hindebrandt, in this city December
18th, caused rumpus in the Socialist
party. At meeting of anarchists and
Socialists following the arrests, it was
proved that the arrest of the two men
mentioned was instigated by Herr Book,
Social Democrat and member of the
reichstag, and the meeting passed reso-
lutions demanding Books resignation.
After a stormy discussion the city
council adopted by a small majority the
long disputed proposal TO widen Koe-
nig's strasse, leading to the Schloss
platz, and to demolieh several buildings
on the platz which obetruct the view OF
the palace. The cost of the improve
ment is about 5,000.0 900 marks, and
Singer proposes that the crown shall
defray half of the cost.
Zukunft has published an article, said
to be inspired by Prince Bismarck, re-
pudiating all responsibility for Herr
Blum's charges against Count Won Arin,
and for the contents of his book in gen.
eral.
The reichstag today resumed discus
sion of the tobacco tax.
The Vossische Zeitung relates pain
full incident which occurred last night
at the banquet of the German chambers
of commerce. Herr Michel, president
OF the Mayence chamber OF commerce.
was toasting the ministers, and in go
doing, he severely criticised DIR. Miquel's
financial policy. This caused DR.. MIGUEL
to spring to his feet and retort excit-
edly, stating he was not attending
the banquet in order to be pelted with
mud, and he expected more friendly
reception at their hands than to be as
sailed in an after-dinner speech. At
the conclusion of his speech Miguel
angrily quilted the banquet.
The emperor gave banquet tonight
to the ambassadors and ministers and
their wives at the palace.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 13.-An official
communication has been sent to Gov
ernor Markham inviting him to be
present at the opening ceremonies OF
the midwinter fair and to participate in
the exercises on that occasion, and re-
questing him to make the day legal
holiday. A Communication from the

will be carried out as originally planned.
The National guard will be called out as
an escort to the governor. All civic
societies have been formally invited to
participate.
Traffic Manager Daily reports that
goods are coming in to the exposition
now quite as rapidly as they can be
handled. Thirteen cars were on the
grounds today, making 81 cars in all
that have thus far been sent out to the
Midwinter station, with exhibits on
board. In addition to these there have
been quite as many cars with machinery
and material for the direct use OF the
exposition. Absolute information has
been received to the effect that there
are more than 80 cars loaded with for
eign exhibits this side of Council Bluffs
on their way to San Francisco, and there
is very little now remaining in Chicago
to be shipped.
