DAWSON SHUT OFF.
No More People Can Get
Through This Season.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 4.-The steamer
North Fork, from Alaskan ports, brings
the news that the steiner Portland which
sailed for st. Michael with a Maxim gun
on her bows to ward of pirates is on
her way home again without having
complished the objects of her voyage. She
got as far as Dutch Harbor only. There
a portion of her passengers and freight
were disembarked and she is now home
ward bound, having neither miners nor
nuggets nor company gold aboard her.
The latest news in regard to the steam
er Hamilton is to the effect that she can
not possibly get beyond Rampant City,
but that twenty of her passengers were
making the effort to pole up the river
to Dawson with little chance of success.
Thirty-tive passengers who have given
up all hope of reaching the KlOndike this
season returned on the North Fork. All
reports coming from the mining districts
confirm the reports of prospective famine
this winter.

NEW INLAND SEA.
The Gulf of California Breaks Into the
Salton Basin.

Tucson, Arfz., Oct4-Passenger who
came in on the belated California train
state the cause of the delay was floods
in the Salton basin. 1t was the rumor-
ed belief that the waters of the Gulf
of California had broken over the sand
bar which separates the gulf from the
basin.
If this should prove to be true, south
ern California will have the largest in
land sea on the continent, in places
more than 300 feet deep, and Arizona
point opposite Yuma, which will then
become a port of the inland sea- In
the meantime, many miles of the
Southern Pacific would be submerged.
This is the second time this great
stretch of desert has been flooded. Wa
tiers from the Colorado river broke
through in 1891 and so miles of the
Southern Pacific was submerged. At
that time it was thought the desert
would be converted into a sea, but the
waters dried Up.

baggage car and engine, all ahead of
the first coach, remained on the track.

CURFEW IN WASHINGTON.
It is Proposed to Ring it at 8 O'Clock
and z ep Children OFF the Streets

Washington, D. c., October A.
The latest of the many reforms
schemes suggested for Washington is

curfew bell and the enactment of a
regulation requiring all children under
Is years of age to keep off the streets
after o'clock in the summer and 8
o'clock in the winter The Rev. J. H.
Bradford, secretary of the Boys and

scented the matter to the district com

sas City, Lincoln, and elsewhere.It pro-
vides that children who are on the
street after the prescribed hour must
be accompanied by or have been sent
on some errand by a parent or guar
dian. Any others can be arrested by
the police and fined s. for each offense,
and any parent permitting his children
to run about at night is also to be fin
ed IS for each offense.

DO AWAY WITH HORSES.
New ? ork to Have a System of Elec-
trio Cabs

New York, Oct. 4.-Cabs drawn by
horses will soon give way to the more
modern cab propelled by electricity il
the plans of the Electric Vehicle com
pany are fully carried out. This COM
pany has just been organized under the
laws of New Jersey with an authorized
capital stock of 10000, OOO divided into
$5,000,000 preferred and $5,0G0,000 com
mon stock.
The object of the company is to man
ufacture and operate electric carriages
to be propelled by storage batteries.
Money is already in hand for the con-
struction of from $50 to 200 cabs to be
placed in service in this city as soon as
they can be completed. OF the capital
stock $3.50, 600 has been taken by the in
corporators and their friends, which
amount will be paid in at once. This
is the cash which will be used in build
ing the first lot of cabs.
This big corporation buys out and
absorbs the electric carriage and
wagon company, which has been op-
Grating eleven experimental electric
cabs in this city. These carriages will
continue to run by the new company,
and others added as fast as possible.

EATING DOGS AND CATS.
Desperate Straits of the Cubans as the
Result of Weyler's Methods

New York, Oct. Among the pas
sengers who arrived from Havana to-
day on the steamer Vigilancia were
Cuban gentleman, his wife and daugh-
ter. They were met at the pier by
friends.
1T is the policy of Weyler to starve
the insurgents into subjection," said
the Cuban, land one of the inevitable
results is that for eight days before I
sailed there had been no meat eaten in
any of the Havana hospitals, either for
the hospitals consist principally of
peas, rice, cornmeal and jerked beef
from South America,
THE poor people are subsisting up
on dogs. as they have no money with
which to purchase terked beef, meal or
rice. Dog catching has become a fine
art. and dog raising and breeding for
food purposes is now a recognized in
dustry. Cats also are eaten and in
some cases rats are a staple article of
fO0d.''

WHEAT CROP ESTIMATES.
Orange Judd Figures it Will Amount
to $50, 100000 Bushels.

Chicago, III, Oct. 4.-The Orange Judd
Farmer. in its final estimate of the
years wheat crop. says that figures
based on actual threshing returns in
dictate a total yield of 5S9. 600 900 bushels,
OF which 1913, $50, 900 bushels is winter
and 215, 470, 900 bushels is spring wheat.
With the exception of Illinois and Mis-
souri,, the winter wheat yield represents
the fun capacity of the soil.
The spring wheat yield in Minnesota
and the Dakotas has proven disap-
pOintment. the aggregate being only
129, 600, 900 bushels. The shortage there
is in a measure counterbalanced by the
good yield in Nebraska, Oregon and
washington.
The report says that the corn crop is
exceedingly disappointing at an outside
estimate of 1,750, 600 bushels.
Drought during the past two months
reduced the average condition from
82.3 a month ago to 78.9 on october l.
An acreage oats yield of PSI bushels
per acre suggests a crop of $4,000 600
bushels 100 O0O. 900 more than last year.

YALE'S NEW OFFICE.
The Position of Bursar Has Been
Created.

New Haven, Conn, Oct 4-Ya1e has
created a new office known as bursar.
The treasury department has hitherto
had charge of the financial matters of
the university and the enormous mass
of incident details has made that de-
partment one of the most crowded in
the university. The bursar will have
charge of all the collections of rents
and buttons of the members of the
academic department and will also have
a general charge of the buildings and
grounds, the latter regulation being
effected, as before, through the college
inspector of grounds.
The creation of this office is in the di-
rection of a simpler and more syste-
matte working of the mechanical af-
fairs of the treasury of the academic
department The new bursar is Henry
z. Merwin, and a young man of exper-
fence and superior ability.
