For all of us, more especially for US princes,

VICTIMS OF A COLLEGE RUSH. :"
One Student Disfgured for Life and
Two Others Manned.

BERKELEY. Cal, Sept. 1.-There will be
no more ''rushes" at the University of Cal
ifornia if President Eelogg's latest man.
date is obeyed Half dazed, his jaw brok-
en-, his face a bleeding mass, Benjamin
Kurtz, a newly entered freshman, was
found wandering about the campus after
the rush between the two lower classes.
In the struggle some one put his heel on
Kurtz's face and as result he is disfg-
ured for life and may have received an
injury to the brain. An examination showed
that a piece of flesh had been torn from
one nostril. The upper lip hung only by
shred and the ragged nature of the tear
made the injury the more serious. All the
front teeth were gone. Four teeth had been
knocked out of the jower jaw bone, in
which they had been imbedded and part
of the bone was broken out with them.
Both the upper and lower jaws were
smashed and the flesh of all the face
crushed and bleeding. There were two other
serious casualties Frank Marshall, fresh
man, had his right leg broken just above
the ankle. Another freshman named Con-
lon came out of the combat with broken
leg also.

very scarce and there is little reason to
DOUBT that the entire town will have to go
on short rations" during the winter. There
is considerable sickness, and scurvy will
surely break out. If we do not have early
rains before the freeze-up there will not be
enough grub brought here by steamers to
last through the winter To make matters
worse a number of pack trains have been
arriving from different sections lately with
onfy half the grub their men started with.
The packers foolishly sold or threw away
their food to make their packs light They
will probably suffer punishment for their
folly before the ice opens next spring.
The gold that will go down the river to
San Francisco viii amount to S. 900. This
includes the transportation companies
store of nuggets, but ii must be borne in
mind that it is almost impossible to get at
the exact amount that any one is shipping.
There is a lot of gold in circulation which
will remain in the camp for 1t is used as
legal tender at the rate of SIT per ounce.
There are few persons here who can be
called poor, although the prospects are that
before winter is over half the prospectors
will be broke. OF the 1900 inhabitants only
few hundred have made big stakes. The
less fortunate ones have found work in va
rious capacities. During the months of last
winter many made SIS and $40 day, paid
$3.50 for board and saved the balance. But
the town cannot stand great many more
newcomers unless new strikes are made,
which is probable. The man who comes in
here this winter should the floating popu-
laton increase to any extent, must have
money and food, or he will run the risk of
starving.
Reports of other strikes are constantly
received here and many strikes have really
been made. However, nearly all of these
outside claims have been scattering and no
district as rich and extensive as the Klon-
dixie has been discovered A man named
Winters took out several thousands of dol
lars on the Stewart river. but on the other
hand several expeditions have returned
from there and reported that only fairly
rich bar diggings exist on that stream.
There is another example of the uncertain
ty of striking it rich in this section.
Quite a number of people are preparing to
leave her for Juneau in case the steamers
do not go through with provisions. The
outlook for a good grub supply is not en-
couraging. but the transportation compa-
MES agents say that there will be supplies
enough provided there is not much of an
influx of people.
The gold fields will develop slowly Ten
thousand men may come but they will be
lest in the vast country when they spread
out to prospect. Not more than five hum
dred of them will strike any pay dirt. When
they do find pay gravel their fortunes will
be made. In years to come, when at the
sacrifice of human life and energy the
treasures of this land of ice are located
and when capital develops the mines, the
wealth of the West will be something al
most beyond comprehension.

THE INDIAN REVOLT.
Indefinite News Regarding the Move
ments of Troops.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-The Times this morn
ing publishes a dispatch from Chakdara,
saying it appears that Haddah Mullah has
abandoned the idea of attacking the Khan
Dir and is gathering his forces for an at
tack upon Peshawar. All the tribes in this
district have been quiet since its occupa-
ton. The upper Swat country has hitherto
been comparatively unknown. 1t has not
been visited by organized troops since the
time of Alexander the Great. The Swatis
deemed their country inaccessible, the only
entrance to it being by a narrow causeway
barely wide enough to admit one man at
a time, f1anked on one side by raging
torrent and on the other by precipitous
cliffs fortified by stone breastworks.
The news regarding the Indian frontier
troubles is indefinite and fragmentary, and
1t is difficult to follow the varying move
ments of the British forces, which are ap-
parently decided in consequence of the
quickly changing gatherings of the tribes
men. News has been received of fresh ac-
cessions to the forces of the insurgents and
of the appearance of various fanatics who
are endeavoring to stir those tribesmen who
are reluctant to join the revolt to attack
the British. There is every probability that
an attack will be made by the British at
some point within a few days. The attack
upon the British post, Gazarbund, Belu-
chistan is not of great Importance. The sta
ton at Gazarbund is a small one. A report
comes from Quetta, Beluchistan, to the eff
feet that the militia there has become dis
affected; but the rumor IS not credited in
government circles.
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says that after careful in
quiries he is convinced that the Sultan's
personal influence among the Mussumans
in northwest India is nonexistent. There is
no doubt, the correspondent says, that the
suggestion that the Sultan instigated the
trouble is fiattering to his vanity, but it is
cutie clear that nothing can restore to the
Sultan his prepon6erance in the Mussul-
man world. The Afghan Sheik, Said Yahia,

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 1.-The steam
ship Empress of China arrived from the
Orient to-day, bringing the following ad-
vices: Rumors are current in Picking and

Fights continue in the Philippines and the
rebellion is not yet suppressed A procla-
nation has been issued by Emilio Aguisal-
do leader in the Philippines, stating that
the rebel plan of abandoning the towns,
taking the offensive and adopting the Cub
ban method of guerrilla warfare was eX-
hausting the resources of Spain, while en-
abling the insurgents to prolong the war
for an indefinite period. He pre-
diets that Spain will succumb
in the end. The rebels demand
the expulsion of the friars and the con-
fiscation and return to the township of
monastery land, parliamentary representa-
ton and civil and religious freedom similar
to the Spanish concessions and also revoca-
ton of the power of Punishment by govern
ment officials.
Russia has dispatched thirty officers and
eight thousand soldiers for COrea, for the
