Australians Klondike Crazy.

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-Australia
will add its share of goldhunters to
the Klondike region next year. When
the Alameda sailed from Sydney the
Offices of the Oceanic Steamship COM
pany were being besieged with miners
anxious to get to the new land of gold.
Hundreds Of letters a day were being
received, asking for information about
the land of glaciers and treasure. A
lengthy circular containing the gen.
eral information that was sought was
prepared and copies of it were sent to
inquirers.
1t is thought by the officers Of the
Alameda that the next steamer will
come to this port crowded with gold
hunters for the Yukon.

oEATh IN THE GALE.
sohooner Caspar wrecked on the oei-
ifornia COast.

schooncr Caspar wrecked on the Oal-
ifornia Coast.
Point Arena, Cal. Oct. &C. Thirteen
seamen, comprising almost the entire
crew Of the schooner Caspar, were
drowned early this morning by the
wreck Of their vessel. The rocky shore
in this vicinity was strewn with wreck
age today, but there was no way OF
identifying the ship until this evening.
when two men from shore, who had
gone out in small boat to secure any
of the crew who might still be alive,
picked up Captain Anfindsen and Sea-
men Chris Larsen, who had been float
ing about on an improvised raft Tor
over IA hours.
To his rescuers, Adoiph Peterson and
Henry Anderson, the captain said the
bark struck on reef this morning and
seven minutes later capsized. When
she tipped over, all the crew were
washed overheard. The steamer car
ried Is men, but from the moment the
accident occurred the captain has seen
none of his crew except his companion,
Larsen, and has no doubt that the other
Ii have all been lost.
When thrown into the water, Anfind-
sen and Larsen by good fortune we're
enabled to raft some pieces OF floating
timber. They succeeded in drawing
the boards together, and chung to the
improvised raft from the time of the
accident until late this afternoon, while
the storm beat about them, being ex-
posed to the most fearful gale of the
season. They had almost succumbed
from cold, exposure and exhaustion,
and were with great difficulty saved by
their rescuers.
The sea has been so high all day that
it has been impossible to launch a boat
from shore, and even this evening the
two men who went out and accom-
plished the rescue risked their lives in
the breakers.
Later in the evening the steamer
Alcazar cruised about the scene of tho
wreck, but could find no trace of the
other seamen.
This lisa very dangerous locality for
shipping, and when vessel, is once
thrown on the rocks she is certain to
be doomed, and there is little chance
for the escape Of her unfortunate crew.
The Caspar sailed from San Francisco
yesterday for Usal, where she was to
load lumber for San Francisco. She
was owned by the Caspar Lumber Com
pany, and registered 800 tons.
The drowned are:
Morris Peterson, irst mate.
Andrew Anderson, second mate.
George Offerman, chief engineer.
John Kuhn, assistant engineer.

OUTLOOK is BETTER.
Spain's New Cuban Policy II Regarded
With Favor.

Washington. Oct. 27.-Developments
in Cuba within the next 80 days will
definitely determine President McKin-
ley's attitude upon the Spanish ques-
ton, but he expects no trouble. The
administration looks with favor on
Spain's change of policy, and believes
the ministry is sincere in its endeavor
to bring about speedy termination of
the strife in Cuba by granting substan-
tial reforms.
While not fully advised as to Spain's
reply to Secretary Sherman's note,
presented by Minister Woodford in
September, its general character is
known here, and it is not anticipated
by the president that any friction will
arise between the two countries as re-
suit of the exchange Of notes.
The prime object the president had
in view when General Woodford went
to Madrid was bringing about an i'm
proved condition of affairs in Cuba be-
fore congress reassembled. Spain's re-
ply and her instructions to the new
captain-general of Cuba will show an
advanced step in that direction.
But the administration is more con-
cerned about the rapid change of policy
than it is about the character of SPANS
reply to Minister Woodford's represen-
tations. The government has no reason
to fear that Spain will take an agrees
sive stand against the United States.
On the contrary, it is sure OF note
friendly and conciliatory in tone. The
president realizes, however, the danger
of further agitation by congress and a
further disturbance of our interests if
something more substantial than these
mere promises of Spain to grant genu-
inc autonomy cannot be furnished
when the new session begins.
1t can hardly be expected that Gen
eral Blanco within month after his
arrival will be able to end the war, but
if it can be shown that an advanced
step has been taken in that direction,
President Mckinley may, by forward
ing the correspondence which has pass
ed and calling attention to an improved
condition in Cuba, be able to pacify
congress long enough to give Spain
chance to thoroughly establish her new
reforms. Hence it appears that the
wording of the presidents forthcoming
message depends mainly upon the i'm
mediate effect of General Blanco's ar
rival in Havana, the PRONUNCIATION of
an amnesty proclamation, of new auton-
omist reforms and the abandonment of
the reconcentra1o policy.

Decision Reversed.

Carson, New, Oct. 27.-The supreme
court reversed the decision awarding
damages against the Western Union
Telegraph Company to the plaintiff
Burns. The latter had urgent business
at Lovelock, and telegraphed a friend
from Grand Junction for money. Re-
ceiving no reply, he attempted to beat
his way on train, and falling off, was
seriously injured. He then sued the
telegraph company for failing to de-
liver his message, and received judg-
ment, which has just been reversed.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
[Ofice of Downing, Hopkins 4 Co, Chicago
Board of Trade Brokers. 711-714 Chamber OF Com
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.l

We have had very nervous, sensi-
tive market in wheat the past week,
but the undertone has been very strong
at times, and prices were up 8 cents
over a week ago. The news has been
quite bullish in tone, and foreigners
have been liberal buyers of wheat for
nearby shipment. About the only
thing that at all favored the bears was
| the fact that rains had fallen mOder-
| ately over the drouth stricken area, and
that fall work was again in progress IN
the winter wheat sections. Receipts
of wheat have been large, with an ur-
gent demand for good milling wheat
from nearly all quarters. Exports for
the month of September we're tbe larg-
est on record, footing up 10000, OOO
bushels. The American visible supply
shows an increase of 1919, 900 bushels
for last week, and now totals 24,629,-
900 bushels, against 81, 1855, 900 year
ago. The fact that France has again
been a large buyer of wheat the past
week has done much to stimulate
prices, and were it not that speculation
is very light We should have seen a far
greater advance. Wheat is on legiti-
mate basis-the basis of supply and de-
mand-but every one seems to be afraid
of it because they compare prices with
what they were year ago, and many
predict declines, but while the cash de-
mand is as urgent as it is now, and
foreigners are buying our wheat and
-four at the rate they are now doing,
there is no chance for more than slight
reactions and everything favors a
higher range of values. We feel very
bullish on the situation. and advise
our friends to get hold of some wheat
and it will soon show them good
profit.
There has been more weakness
shown in corn than the most sanguine
bear had looked for, and as holders be-
came easily frightened and threw their
holdings on a market that was narrow
and with light trade at the start, the
result can easily be foreseen-rather
sharp decline with shorts the best buy
ers. Receipts have been large.
