Mr.. Alger's
Novel Idea.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-secretary
Alger is now engaged in an attempt
to solve the question of how to get
supplies into the Klondike gold re-
gions, and thereby prevent the threat
ened starvation of many miners. The
Yukon river, which has formed the
main reliance of the miners as q
means of getting their supplies up TO
Dawson, is without doubt already
closed to navigation by boats, and the
mountain passes via Chilkoot are al
most impossible. The problem, there
fore, is a hard one and has taxed the
best thought, not only of Secretary
Alger, but of his brother cabinet Of
ficers and of the president, for 1T has
been anxiously discussed in the coun-
ellis of the administration. Now, how
ever, it is believed by the secretary
that by means of a novel character,
transportation for supplies into the
gold country may be provided, even in
the midst of an Alaskan winter.
He has opened correspondence in
directly with a Chicago inventor, who
makes locomotive sled, designed
originally for use in logging camps,
but which, it is hoped, may be readily
adapted to the navigation of the Yu-
kon, when it is frozen thickly. With
a few of these machines, placed on the
river. it is hoped that a sufficient sup
ply of food and other necessaries stores

today is eleven, making eighteen in all
so far announced, Of which number two
died as previously reported, and one
was today discharged. The new cases
are: Henry Ezell, mulatto; Alice Jo-
nallian, Frank Donaldson, George
Shamberger, Arraciner Erque, Mrs W.
H. Wolton, Richard Murray, Mrs. c.
Xavier, Louis Xavier, F. b. Miller,
Mary Basset Three suspicious cases
are under surveillance.
There has been quarantine line
drawn from Chicasabogue creek north
of Mobile some five miles northwest
erly, to the Mississippi line, SO as TO
prevent an absolute embargo against
Mobilians penetrating by land into
the interior of Alabama. This trocha
is guarded continuously. Some 200
people from this city started out into
the country this morning, intending
to tage refuge with the farmers living
from ten to fifteen miles out. They
encountered the guards at the trocha
and were stopped there. At o'clock
most of the party were still there In
the open air fearing to return to the
city and not able to go further. The
people are still in great panic, and all
are leaving who can, although exper
fenced physicians and the older citi
zens try to quiet the alarm by showing
that the fever is not progressing with
anything like old-time rapidfty, and
the death list is as yet but two. Every
effort is being made to prevent the
spread of the infection.

Is on His Way Home.

regions has been unusually favorable
No storms of any magnitude have been
reported and all meteorological condi-
tionS have been in favor of an early
return.
Because the meteorological sections
since Andree left have been keeping
closer eyes on the winds that sweep the
land of ice, and they report that theik
direction has been Unexpectedly pro-
pitious. Also, that at this time they
would probably carry Andree towards
Siberia rather than towards Alaska or
any other point in North America.
Because Andree, himself, after care
full calculations came to the conclusion
that this return would very likely be
by way of Siberia.
'It may seem strange if Andree was
in this balloon seen the other day that
he did not descend and tell of his safe
ty to the outside world. That is eX-
planned by Andree's previously-an-
nounced intention to make his journey
as continuous as possible and to let
the balloon go as far as was practica-
BILE, on the return trip. He undoubted
ly would not descend unless compelled
where he could return with the least
possible delay to civilized Europe and
leave his airship to follow.
"The inhabitants of Siberia have
been notified by the Russian govern
ment to report at once the appearance
of any balloon. This was done out of
courtesy to the Swedish explorer.
IF this balloon, sailing over Arctic
Russia, contains Andree and his COM
panions, Strindberg and F'ranckel, it
will be the first authentic tidings OF
the party which has been received
since a carrier pigeon brought a mes
sage to Lapland on July %. Andree
had then passed the SD degree lati-
tude."
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-09-19

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-According to
It. B. Baldwin, well known author on
polar expeditions, there are many
reasons for believing that Andree, the
Swedish aeronaut, is now on his return
Il 10 from the polar regions, and may
soon be expected to be heard from.
Mr.. Baldwin, who was meteorologist to
the Peary expedition of 1S93-94, has
only lust returned to this city from
Spitzbergen, where he went In the hope
OF witnessing Andree's departure, and
with the intention of accompanying
the intrepid Swedish scientist. should
either of his pledged companions fail
o+ the last minute. Mr.. Baldwin, in an
interview today with a reporter of the
Associated Press, said: II thoroughly
believe that Andree has achieved what
skeptics declared to be Impossible.
MANY indications lead me to pel1eVe
that the balloon reported In your dis
patches of yesterday from Arctic Rus-
sia is that of Andree. If it is, the
greatly debated question of the prac-
ticability Of the balloon in Arctic ex-
plorations has been settled forever.
That, on it's face, constitutes the sue
cess of the undertaking and is an ines
timable boon to the scientists. My
reasons for thinking that the balloon
seen by the peasants of Antziforow-
skoje is Andree's are:
Because by generally accepted cal
culations, sufficient time has elapsed
since Andree left on July IL last, to
make his contemplated trip.
Because the weather in the Artic

may be carried up the Yukon to relieve
all distress among the miners. The
secretary has already had some ex-
perience with this kind of locomotive,
so that the scheme is not so radical
an experiment as it would at first
thought seem to be. When engaged in
numbering in the Northwest, he tried
the engine practically and found that
it was capable of pulling many tons
of logs on sleds, at a good speed, even
as high as twelve miles an hour. The
engine is boxed in like freight car,
and the engineer and fireman thereby
protected from the rigors of the winter.
Today Secretary Alger telegraphed
to Mr. Weare, president of the Alaskan
Transportation company, at Chicago,
to see the inventor of this apparatus,
and then to come to Washington to talk
over the possibilities of the scheme
with him. Mr.. Weare will do so, and is
expected here tomorrow. A telegram
was also sent to Joseph Ladue, the
founder of Dawson City, and supposed
to be now at PlattSburg, n. Y, inviting
him to come here to consult with Sec
retary Alger on this subject and give
him the benefit of his practical knowl-
edge of the Yukon region, and tell how
the engines may be supplied with fuel
on the run up the river. Word came
to the war department late this after
noon that the transportation company
had chartered the steamer Humboldt
to start fro mSeattle for st. MichaelS
as soon as possible.

speed of the train was not greater than
four miles an hour, whereas the road
had been ordered to run their trains
through here at a twenty-mile rate.
Not only was this order wilfully disre-
garded by the road, but the train ac-
tually stopped in the heart of the city.
Indignation is at fever heat and the
people say that if necessary to compel
observance of their reasonable quaran-
tine regulations, they will burn every
bridge between here and Vicksburg.
The city authorities say that if yell
low fever is introduced into the city,
it will be by the unlawful disregard Of
their rules as in this case.

Thus by natural exemption the cost of haul
ing is eliminated from the cost and price Of
Southern iron and steel.
Sixth-In the case of railroad strikes and
like revulsions the proximity of factory to
this raw material is a great and vital ad
vantage. In addition to this, Sheffield fronts
on the Tennessee river.
Seventh-Our labor is safer, as cheap or
cheaper, and equally as efficient as the
Northern help. "
Eighth-The cost of living is cheaper, as
well as the material for construction of an
armor factory and maintaining it.
Ninth-Our railroad facilities and river nav
igation are quite sufficient, equivalent to our
competitors.
These sections, I am satisfied, can
best demonstrate the iron producing
abilities of the South and will possibly
be the only section visited, for that
reason, by the armor factory board,
unless their orders are broadened so
as to allow them to select an armor
factory site. Congress, the judge and
jury to try the merits of this armor
factory undertaking, are entitled to
have these facts recorded and before
them officially before called upon to
act. These facts excluded, the record
would be biased, partial, unjust, not
only to the South, but to congress, ana
finally the government.

ARROYO'S LYNCHING.
Rigid investigation Has Been Or
dered by Diaz.

Rigid Investigation Has beeH
dered by Diaz.
CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 1S.-Orders
have been given to investigate the
lynching of Arroyo. President Dlaz
has decided that the inquiry must be
most rigorous and that the guilty par
ties be severely punished, as he fe9is
that the act was reproach TO the
nation, which has taken pride in the
fact that lynch law has been unknown
here. Twenty-odd men arrested are
still in custody, and formal papers are
being drawn up in their cases.
The Impartial says tonight that II
the public will have patience 1t Will
be entirely satisfied with the result or
the investigation. The same paper Ia
ments the lynching for various reasons
and regrets that the act Of the mob
prevents it being ascertained whether
Arroyo had accomplices or was in any
way instigated to the deed or whether
any political motive underlay his
crime. The paper adds that in the
United States, which is the cradle Of
lynching, no such act on the part OF
the mob ever took place in Washing
ton or in any large center of popula-
ton LyncLings in the United States
commonly occur in sparsely settled re-
gions, country towns, or at most coun-
ty seats, but never where the higher
authorities live and are supported by
police and military.
The Mexican Herald says Arroyo
was more than half mad, victim of
morbid ina agination, possessed by
fatal desire for notoriety, and adds: "It
is generally felt that a speedy trial fol-
lowed by execution of whatever pen
atty should have been imposed would
have better maintained the dignity of
the country and saved us from the re-
proach of the foreign press. Here in
Mexico newspapers have =vehemently
rebuked lynching as practiced in the
United States, and all at once in the
capital city we are startled by a man

neighborhoods in which they live. The

six cases in New Orleans were report

no surprise this evening when it is

AS a general rule the patients who
are suffering with yellow fever are re-

the exception of DR.. Lowell, whose
condition is not considered satisfac-
tory. There have thus far been a
total of thirty-five cases here, and the
death rate has not yet reached 10 per

The intimation conveyed by the war

that the British government has by
