WALK ACROSS THE OCEAN.
Compact Made by C. w. Oldrieve-
Captain Andrews to Accompany
Him in a Canvas Boat

Beverly, Mass, Nov. 25.-CaptainWi1-
liam A Andrews, the famous mariner,
who has crossed the ocean several
times in small boats, and Prof. c. w.
Oldrieve, a water walker, have made a
compact to cross the Atlantic ocean.
Captain Andrews win go in a 1412-
foot canvas boat, which can be folded
when not in the water. Prof. Oldrieve
viii wear the shoes with which he has
strolled over New England waters and
along the shores of Cuba. By the terms
of the compact, Captain Andrews must
keep Oldreive in sight and provide food
when he is hungry and rest when he is
tired.
When in need of rest, Oldrieve will
get into the boat, which must be steered
in a circle while he sleeps, so that it
cannot be said that he did not walk all
the distance. They expect to land at
Havre and will then proceed up the
Seine to Paris, and also to other places
in Europe. They expect to be recon-
pensed by exhibiting themselves and
their boat at one cent a head. The two
adventures expect to attain a world
wide reputation by their feat. The
start will be made from Boston Har-
bOF.

BIG MEXICAN DEAL.
Cotton Seed Oil Mill and Soap Fac
tory for Torreon.

TOrreon, Mex. Nov. 25.-The final ar
engagements in the formation of COM
pany for the establishment of a large
cotton seed oil mill and soap manufac-
turing works, to be located in TOrreOn
were completed here today, and con-
tracts were let for the machinery and
buildings, which are to be ready for Op-
Grafton in four months from date The
Erie Iron Works company, of Erie. Pa.
through it's general agent, w. H. Bush
nell, was the successful bidder for the
machinery. Don Carlos Gonzalez one
of the largest cotton growers in the
state, is the president of the new COM
pany, and Jose Farias, an experienced
oil mill man, will be general mana ger

plant.
The plant will employ nearly 500 per-
sons and will be located within easy
access of both the Mexican Central and
Huntington railways. The stockholders
of the new company produce nearly
one-third of the cotton tributary to this
point, which will insure the running of
the mill at it's full capacity.

SECRETARY ALGER's IDEAS
Wants White Pine Duty Reduced
Alaska Should Be Made Into
Two Territories.

New York, Nov. 25.-Secretary of
War Alger who came to town to attend
the annual banquet of the Chamber of
Commerce said in an Interview that he
favored a change in the duty imposed
by the Dingley tariff law on white pine
imported from Canada. He thought
the rate of 81 a thousand feet, as at
present, excessive.
Speaking of the plans for the relief
of KlOndike miners in case of a famine,
General Alger said:
I met Sir Wifrid Laurier while he
was in Washington and we had q talk
in regard to the Yukon country. We
agreed to work together, if it became
necessary to send relief to the people
in that frozen region, who are seeking
gold. The cooperation of Canada be
ing assured, 1 believe that we could
manage to get provisions to Dawson
City in some way before the summer
opens the Yukon river.
Captain Rea, who represents the
war department, has gone to Alaska
to report, but just where he is, can
not say. He left St. Michael on Au-
gust %, and in the middle of September
heard from him at Fort Yukon, about
1900 miles up the Yukon river and 500
miles from Dawson City. The Yukon
river is frozen and it is not easy to
travel on the rough ice. Therefore to
send relief in mid-Winter by that route
is not practicable.
The government has about 100
reindeer in Alaska, but they are scat
tered. Mr.. Bliss, secretary of the in
terror, has placed at the disposal of the
war department 100 reindeer that are
within a hundred miles of St. Michael.
1t is just possible that with reindeer
and with the aid of Indians a small ex-
petition might be sent by this route.
My idea is, that in March an expedi-
ton will be sent over the Chilkoot pass
by the Dalton trail. There are provis-
ions in plenty at St Michael. The last
1 heard was that five or six thousand
tons of provisions We're there and as
steamships ply between there and San
Francisco the danger of starvation is
not great"
DO you think Alaska should be
made a territOry?"
L do, because by next summer
think from one to two hundred thous-
and people viii be in the Yukon coun-
try My idea is that two territories
should be made and the Yukon country
should be one of them. A territorial
form of government will be much bet
ter than the present method of gov
erning Alaska, in my ouinion. The
state of Nevada has about 20. 600 inhab-
itants and the Yukon country alone
viii have three or four times that num-

SWAN THE SHEEP ACROSS.
How Mormon Sheep Herders Evaded

PITCHER TURNS PREACHER
Edward Lewis OF the Boston Team
Becomes an EVANGELIST.

New York. Nov. 25.-Following in the
footsteps Of Billy Sunday, another
professional baseball player has turned
evangelist.
The latest acquisition to the ranks of
the teachers of scripture is Edward NJ.
Lewis, one of the pitchers of the Bos-
ton baseball club. Lewis is one of the
younger generation of ball play ers
and college bred Professional base
ball has been to him merely a stepping
stone toward securing a first-class edu-
cation by means of the money earned
on the diamond during the summer
season.
When he is through with baseball
and has graduated from college it is the
intention of Lewis to make eYangeHstic
work his life occupation.

A popular impression of Henry Wat
terson is that he writes his editorials
under the inspiration of kentucky's
most famous product. 1t is stated, on
the contrary, that when on duty he
makes teetotalism an Underwriting rule,

form. When off duty, and in hours Of
social relaxation, he drinks like a Ken
lucky gentleman.
Miss Alice Bates Gould, daughter Of
the late DR.. Benjamin Apthorp Gould Of
Cambridge, Mass, has just given to the
National Academy of Science the sum
of 900, a trust fund whose income
shall be used for the advancement of
astronomy. DR.. Gould, who died only
few months ago, was at one time direc-
tor of the Dudley observatory IN Al
bany, and from 1868 to 1885 had charge
of the astronomical observatory in Cor
dOba, Argentine Republic. He was one
of the ablest and most active OF Amer
lean astronomers of his day.
Much as TennysOn noticed every in
divfduaI tree and plant bird life had a
still greater attraction for him. He
was much touched by the fact that the
Gagged Hnnet loses the red plumage
from its head and breast at the first
mOult after its captivity, and never re-
gains them, and he thought of devoting
a whole poem to the deep yearning for
liberty which this was the sign and
type.
Ambassador Hay was present at a
literary club dinner the other day in
London, where several of the speakers
tried to draw him out by remarking on
the difference between the British and
the United States governments in the
matter of appointing journalists to Of
flee, especially in the foreign service.
After some parrying of pointed ques-
lions Mr.. Hay sought refuge from the
whole discussion in a pleasant evasion.
L won't say" he remarked, why we
send our journalists and men of letters
abroad. But the reason is evident why
yours are not sent abroad: They are
needed for home consumption"

THE
CHEAP RATES TO FRISCO.
Railroad War May Reduce the Fare
About SIS Per Ticket.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 25.-The
Chronicle says:
Railroad men are in hourly expectation
of the receipt of orders to cut passenger
rates from this city to Chicago $3.50.
The fight between the Wisconsin Cen
trail and other roads east has thus far re-
suited in a reduction of fares from 81 to
IS between Chicago and St. Paul This
does not affect trancOntinental rates. but
the moment that the cut is extended to
the Missouri river it will reduce passen-
ger rates just that much from San Fran
cleo to Chicago. Present fares are S72.50
for thirty days first class tickets, $3.50
for first class limited and $52.5O for second
class tickets. This is the basis Of
$50, $50 and $40 from here to the Missouri
river, leaving $3.50 on which the war
ring lines can make reductions.

aldermen was held Monday evening.
Many matters of more or less Importance
came before the board, and were disposed
Of promptly.
The present board of aldermen favor
paying ex-City Marshal Holmes and Off
Ger Silvy for their services last year, and
settlement will probably be made with
them. II Mayor Gerry's officers get any
pay, it will only be at the end of law
suit.
The controversy between the city and
the water company as to the manner OF
laying the water main across the river,
occupied some time. The aldermen did
not retreat from the position they have
taken in the matter, in insisting that
the pipes must not pass through the abul-
ments, or be attached to the bridge.
