TEMPORARY AGREEMENT.
BituminOus Miners Will Work at sc
Cents Until Next Saturday.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Sept 1.-THE In
diana operators and miners, after an all
day conference, agreed to postpone the eff
fort to adopt wage scale until next
Wednesday, with the understanding that
the men can dig coal in the meantime at Sc
cents. The miners insisted on a contract
to run until Jan. l at Sc cents. Some of the
operators were understood to be willing to
sign the contract but those of the northern
part of the State wanted a proVisO that in
the event that Grape Creek or Danville,
ILL.,, district accepted reduction, corrc-
spending reduction would be accepted IN
Indiana. The operators have no organiza-
ton now, so that if a majority to-day mad
been in favor of signing the contract 1t
would not have established a uniform con-
dition in the State, and that is something
the miners will insist on. They hold that II
there are two prices for mining in the state
it would not be long until the operators
paving the higher price would insist on
reduction The miners believe that by next
Wednesday they will be able to make
stronger showing. The Illinois miners are
to meet next Monday, and it is expected
they will take a firm stand for adherence
to the basis Of the Columbus settlement.

AN UNHEALTHY PLACE.
Typhoid Fever Prevalent at Dawson
Owing to Filthy Water.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 17.-John Sibley
Webb attorney at Washington, d. c., for
the Alaska Commercial Company has
made a visit to Dawson and the Klondike
mining district for the sole purpose of in
forming himself of the conditions of living
there and in Alaska generally, In order that
he may speak and act understandingly
when matters affecting Alaska are dis
cussed in Congress and questions as to the
feasibility of postal arrangements. schools,
ETC., are on the tapis. Il have been all
around the coast route, as it is called and
up to Dawson, he said II have visited the
mining camps of Bonanza creek and some
of those on Eldorado creek. Dawson is low
and fiat and even in the height of summer.
the ground is frozen half a foot below the
surface, and ice is encountered beneath the
muck. The development of the creek was
followed by the washing down into the
River klondike and thence into the Yukon
above Dawson OF large quantities of filth
and refuse, sWooping by the very doors of
the Inhabitants of Dawson. 1t is no Won
der that there should be sickness and death
In the little cemetery at Dawson there lay
no less than twenty victims of typhoid fe-
yer and now the number has no doubt been
increased considerable. The drinking water
at Dawson IS very bad and this adds to
the sickness.

CURE FOR CATTLE FEVER.
Afflicted Animals Forced to Swim
Through a Vat of Petroleum.

DENVER, Col, Sept. I7-After many
months Of effort and repeated experiments,
a cure for cattle fever has been found. DR..
V. A. Norgaard, of this city is the discov-
erer. The plan for dealing with the fever is
primarily to exterminate the insect known
as the tick which abound on fever strick-
en- cattle and through the means of which
the disease is communicated. To do this
the cattle are forced to swim through a
solution in a vat. What the solution is is
not known at the present time, but crude
petroleum is used When the successful ex-
pertinent was tried twenty-seven head of
very 'ticky' cattle were forced to swim
through the solution and it was noticed
that while standing the drip board there
was almost perfect rain of ticks falling
OF the cattle. They were put into pen
and the next day, just seventeen hours af-
ter the experiment tried, q rigid eX
ANIMATION was prosecuted and the exam
lnerS rallied to find single live tick in the
whole lot If the new remedy proves to do
all that 1t is claimed it can do. the cattle
market will experience somewhat of a rev.
olutfon and about 100000 head of cattle will
be shipped North each year during the now
prohibited season, which extends from Feb
ID to Nov. 15. the fever line" from be-
yond the limits of which no cattle can be
shipped to the North during the prohibited
period, as it now stands. stretches from
ocean to ocean and Arizona, New Mexico
Texas, Indian Territory. Arkansas MissS-
sippi, Alabama Virginia, part of West Vir-
ginia and Louisiana form the district af-
fected. State Veterinarian Gresswell is
very much pleased with the results of DR..
Norgaard'S experiments and says without
doubt the long sought remedy has been
found. A meeting of all States and Terri
tories that handle cattle has been called
to meet in Fort Worth on Sept. o. and at
this meeting it is expected the new scheme
of dipping cattle will be shown, and should
it prove a success there many of the
States will be ready to SO modify their laws
that the cattle of the South can enter the
market

SOLDIERS FOR ALASKA
CABINET DECIDES TO SEND A SMALL
FORCE TO ST. MICHAEL'S,
And Secretary AIger ut Once Gives the
Necessary Orders-TyphOid Fee
yer at Dawson City.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The report of
Captain Ray, the army officer who was
sent to Alaska to investigate the condition
of affairs there, formed the basis Of a Cab
met meeting to-day to send a small force
Of soldiers to st. MichaeIs at the earliest
moment. Captain Rays advices were of
date Aug. q. He was then at ST. Mchaels
about to take the steamer up the Yukon
for Circle City. His report showed that
without doubt, great suffering must be ex-
pected in the Klondike region this winter
owing to the lack OF food supplies. Fur
Their details on that point were promised
at later date. He regarded it as essential
that some kind of force acting under law
full authority be placed at st. MichaeIs to
restrain the lawless element. Secretary AL
ger, late this afternoon, gave the neces-
sary orders for the sending of troops. There
will be only twenty-five infantrymen and
they will be sent from Fort d. A. Russell
where Captain Ray had made a selection of
hardy men to accompany him when he was
about to go north before. These men will
be under the leadership of Lieutenant
Colonel Randall, of the Eighth Infantry
now at Cheyenne, and there will be a sur
geon and three members of the army hos
pital corps, because of the reports of pre-
vailing sickness in Alaska. Secretary Alger
has managed to overcome the difficulty in
the matter of transportation by means of
Geographic correspondence with President
Weare, of the Alaska Transportation Com
pany. That gentleman has informed the
secretary that the company will start an
other boat from Seattle for st. MichaeIs
within the next seven days. This boat will
take up mainly food and clothing supplies,
but the troops will be taken also if the War
Department desires it.
In a recently published statement pur-
porting to emanate from the Treasury De-
partment, it was represented that the mail
facilities in Alaska are defective and that
the Postoffice Department has made no al
lowance for the rapid growth of business,
the result being that the postal authorities
in the territory are powerless to cope with
the mass of mail matter. The statement
is said to have unjustly reflected upon the
conduct of the business of the POStOffice
Department, which for a number of years
past has maintained a Semi-monthly service
between Seattle, Wash. and Sitka, Alaska,
via Juneau. On the discovery of the gold
fields on the Yukon and adjacent territory
a poStoffice was established at Circle City
and provision made for transporting mails
to that place. Similar action was taken as
to Dyea, for which place a monthly service
was established during the summer months.
Postal facilities have also been established
between Dyea and the Canadian office at
Dawson City. Treasury officials regret the
publication of the statement referred to,
upon the business of another department
of the government.

The Indiana Not Damaged.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-Acting Secre-
tary Roosevelt has been making an investi-
cation into the reports that the battle ship
Indiana was seriously injured in dock. To-
day he said on this point: 1.-The elaborate
statements as to the injuries to the Indiana,
due to her docking at Halifax, were
reiterated with such circumstantiality that
l finally telegraphed to find out whether
there was any basis for them and found
there was not. 1 was aboard the Indiana
the other day and talked with her captain
and she was in excellent trim. L should
be surprised to find that anything had gone
wrong since, and nothing has gone wrong
excepting the reported defect in one gun
concerning which We shall know nothing
until the return of the expert sent down.
The injury sustained in the dock at Hall
fax consisted in the slight buckling of some
OF the plates, nowhere amounting to an
inch and half. So trivial was it that it
did not cause the riliest leak. 1t is the
kind of accident, if j. be called an acct
dent at all, that is stained continually
by heavy ships me -of~;var or merchant
men, in docking. n It does not impair
the ships etticienc} In the least would be
evident to any one who had seen the In
diana at sea.

BETTER CLOTHES FOR INDIANS.
tn Defraud ''POOr LO" I'm
earthed by COmmissiOner Jones.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Indians on
the several Western reservations will be
late in getting their winter clothing this
year, but when they do receive their APP
parel it will be of a better quality than
they have been in the habit of wearing. The
delay and the improved quality of the goods
are due to the discovery of sharp practice
on the part of a New York firm, evidently
acting in collision with some one In the
Indian Office, whereby the government
wards were to be furnished inferior clothes
and the contractors reap a large reward.
The conspiracy was detected several weeks
ago and in order to secure honest dealing
Commissioner Jones rejected all bids Under
the original advertisement and readvertised.
The result has been that the government
will save about $50, 900 a contract in
volving $26S 900, according to the first eSti-
mates, and the Indians will be very much
better satisfied. The identity of the persons
in the government service who Were con-
cerned in this transaction is as yet un-
known, but strenuous effofts are making to
locate the guilty parties
