ANDERSON NOT LOST
Ancient ide-Whee1er Is Safe
at Dutch Harbor.
NEWS BROUGHT BY HUMBOLDT
Mayor Woods, Of Seattle, Who Char
tered tho Humboldt, Is Still
at St. Michaels.

Seattle, Sept. 15.-The steamer
Humboldt arrived this morning. IL
days from St. Michaels, and brought
news that the Eliza Anderson is safe.
The Anderson is anchored on Dutch
Harbor, where she arrived on the 4th
inst, and where she is now detained
by revenue officers. Her passengers
have by this time entered Behring sea
on the schooner chartered for that pur-
pose.
Two passengers of the Anderson were
so frightened that they gave up their
search for gold and returned south on
the steamer Humboldt.
The Humboldt brought back IA pas
sengers and about $4,000 in gold.
Mayor Wood, who chartered the Hum
boldt, is still at st. Michaels, but let
tiers received from him indicate that all
is we'll with him and that stories of dis
sension and strife on the part of men,
bers of the expedition are untrue.
The Humboldt brings back news
which reiterate the stories of the untold
wealth of the Klondike and Yukon, and
verifies the previous rumors of short
age of the food supply in the interior.
''There will be privation, sickness.
starvation, scurvy and death on the
Yukon thistwinter, is what returning
gold-hunters all say.

Novel Means Employed to Save Adrian
HehOrtoge's Life.
San Francisco, Sept. ia surgical
operation remarkable in itself and
wonderful for it's so far successful re-
suit, has been performed upon Adrian
Hehortoge, veteran and skillful ma
chinist of this city.
Fifteen yards of silver wire, as large
around as an ordinary hypodermic
needle. have been introduced into and
coiled within his arota, the great arte-
rial channel leading directly from the
heart. Those 45 feet of wire have
been in there for three months and
they have saved his life. They were
inserted at time when death seemed
certain because of complications result
ing from a severely injured aorta-
Technically the patients trouble was
aneurism or saculate1 tumor of the ar
terial wall, and its development to q
rupture of the aorta was only ques-
ton of time with certain and instant
death as the result. The wire was in
troduced into the aorta in order partly
to fill it and form there clot that IN
time would contract and be absorbed.

normal formation.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. ia calm
pervaded Hazleton and its environs to-
day. The strikers maintain silence
and good order. An extra guard was
placed about the company store at Lat

rumor that the foreigners were plotting
to blow up the building. They have
ceased dealing there. and now will buy
all their provisions in Hazleton. Some
are going so far as to move into town.
Large groups of miners constantly hover
about the stores.
Arrangements are under way for a
monster mass meeting here Saturday
night, and it is understood that efforts
are being made to bring Eugene Debs
and other labor men here to address it.
All the miners in the middle coal field
will be asked to attend, and it is esti-
mated that %, 600 miners will be pres.
ent.
The arrangements for the prosecution
of the deputies by the Austrian socie-
ties have been brought to pause by
General Gobin's order forbidding the

NEW KlONDlKE DIGGINGS.
Sulphur Creek the Scene Of the --latest
Excitement.

Sulphur Creek the Scene of the Latest
Excitement.
Seattle, Sept. 14-Sulphur creek, a
branch of Dominion creek, which is
tributary to the Indian river, is the
scene of the latest great excitement in
the KlOndike. From accounts of the
new district brought down on the
South Coast, it seems that the new dig
gings will rival even the famed Bonanza
and Eldorado. Gold was found just
below the surface running $34 to the
pan. Two men took out $500 in day
in simply prospecting their claims.
A stampede followed the reports of the
new finds, which reached Dawson City,
August 10. In week 500 men had
crossed the mountains between Eldorado
creek and Dominion creek. They
travelled day and night, and in two
weeks the whole stream was staked out.
The first authentic story of Sulphur
creek was given today by John E.
Light, of Chicago. He left Dawson
City on the steamer Bella, August Is.
He owns a claim on Sulphur creek
which he located himself. He says:
''Sulhpur creek will equal Bonanza.
There is no doubt about it When
first heard of the strike there, l went
over the mountain to investigate it
myself. spent one day there with
two brothers, the McKinnon boys, OF
Wellington. B. G. l saw them take
out $500 in one day from simply sink
ing two prospect holes. The formation
is the same as at Eldorado creek, and
Sulphur cseeks bears the same relation
to Dominion as does Eldorado to b.
nanza. The streams empty into In
dian river. They are just across the
divide from the Klondike, and the same
process that brought millions in gold
into the beds of Bonanza and Eldorado
creeks deposited as much wealth in Sui
phur and Dominion.
Zone old German, whose name did
not learn, located the creek, and from
Discovery claim he took out $50 to the
pan. OF course, when the news OF the
new strike reached Dawson there was
great stampede, and hundreds left the
Klondike for Dominion creek. 1t is all
staked out now. Mark my words, you
will hear of big strikes there"

sPANiARDs FIRED UPON.
An Exciting Incident Occurs on the
Florida Coast.

Florida Coast.
Tampa, Fla, Sept. 16.-The Spanish
consul here, Pedro Soils, is wrathy be-
cause the state patrol steamer Germ
fired on several Spanish smacks. The
Germ is large trim launch belonging
to the state health board, and is armed
with small cannon. The Spanish
smacks hover around the coast and sell
Spanish LIQUORS, ETC., to the sponging
and fishing vessels that come here, thus
infringing on the quarantine laws.
This practice is to be broken up, and
the state health authorities have adopt
ed stringent measures. Last week two
were captured, and the American and
Spanish vessels caught together were
sent to quarantine.
While the Germ was on her last trip
she sighted two Spanish smacks and
they put to sea. Finding she could not
overhaul them, the launch sent q solid
shot after them. The second shot
brought them to, and they we're sent to
quarantine.
The Spanish consul wired a complaint
to Washington after the firing on the
Spanish vessels, and the matter was
brought to the attention of DR.. Porter,
state health officer. DR.. Porter and
Mr.. Soils had conference yesterday in
which the health officer, who is re-
tired naval physician, plainly told the
consul that the smacks would be fired
on and hit, too. if they did not stop
when signaled. There was much feel-
ing over the firing. as the Cubans have
made much ado over the matter OF an
American vessel firing on the Spanish
flag, and jeered the Spaniards here

Tacoma, Sept. 14.-Mrs. E. A. Hen
derson, the first newspaper correspond
ent to make the trip to Dawson City,
returned on the steamer Cleveland from
St. Michaels, and is visiting friends in
this city. With her little 3-year old
daughter she spent some months In the
mining districts, and gives the Ledger
some interesting experiences in the far
north.
She confirms the report of the find
ing of a $3.50. 25 nugget, the largest yet
discovered in the Yukon country,
which Nick Knutson picked up on No.

Francisco on the Excelsior. When the
Excelsior with its reported, but prob
ably exaggerated, cargo of nearly 81

.'Yet," said Mr.. Henderson, the

Important Matters Discussed at Execu-
tive Mansion.

tive M0n61Ons
Washington, Sept 16.-Great inter-
est attached to the cabinet meeting to-
day on account of the various important
questions pending and the fact that it
was the first meeting in some weeks.
Every member of the cabinet except
Secretary Long, who is out of the city,
reached the White House at ii o'clock.
The morning session was devoted al
most entirely to consideration of the
Union Pacific question. Members of
the cabinet were very reticent, an in
junction having been placed on them
not to talk of the matter at this time.
Though there was full discussion of
the matter, it is learned that no decis-
ion was reached.
Some differences of opinion on mat
tiers of detail developed between Alger
and McKenna over the San Pedro har-
Dor, and it was left to the two cabinet
officers to adjust these differences and
then make statement on the subject
for the benefit of the public.
With reference to the Klondike rush,
Secretary Alger laid before the cabinet
several kilograms urging relief for
stricken prospectors, including one
from the citizens committee of Tacoma,
representing that distress exists already
at Dawson City; stating that starvation
had begun and praying that revenue
cutter with supplies be sent to St.
Michaels. The discussion made it evil
dent that the cabinet was not quite
clear that the government had war
rant of law for furnishing supplies, but
Secretary Alger telegraphed Senator
Perkins, who is interested in line to
Alaska, asking him if he would under
take to deliver shipload of supplies at
St. Michaels. If it be found that the
law will not permit the government to
send supplies, then relief will be fur
nished by private persons, in order that
horror may not grow out of the rush
for gold.
Neither the decision on discriminate
ing section % of the tariff act nor the
Cuban or Hawaiian questions were
mentioned at the morning meeting.
The president is clearing up all i'm
portant matters, on which cabinet con-
situations are necessary, for the purpose
of taking another vacation as soon az

VictOria's Many Titles.

The proposal that Queen Victoria
make an addition to her many titles
upon the occasion of the completion of
the longest reign, grows in popular
favor, and perhaps something will come
of it. There are plenty of precedents,
for there have been IS changes in the
royal style and title since the time of
William the Conqueror. The queen is
said to be hesitating between calling
herself 'Queen of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the
Dominion of the British Nation, Defend
er of the Faith, Empress of India ETC.,
and formula which would describe her
as empress of India and the British col
onies. The dominating idea of those
favoring the change is to bring the col
onies in somehow, because it is sup
posed that the colonists will never be
wholly happy and thoroughly loyal I'M
til the British monarch's sovereignty
over them is expressly set forth in her
title. The fact that they have managed
to rub along very well heretofore with
out it is regarded as an argument worth
serious attention.-E. Y. Sun.

CZAR's MAN FRIDAY.
Prince UchtOmski Is the Friend and

Prince Uchtomski Is the Friend and
Confiiar,t of Nicholas.
Prince Uchtomski, who lately left St.
Petersburg for Peking with eight tons
OF presents from the cZar and czarina
for the emperor and empress of China,
is perhaps the most intimate friend and
associate that Nicholas has among his
subjects. He accompanied the cZar on
his memorable trip to China and Japan,
and was able thoroughly to ingrati-
ate himself with the youth who was
destined so short time after to be.
come his sovereign. Uchtomski was at
the time an official of the ministry Of
the interior, but was not liked either
by his immediate chiefs or by the min
lister himself. M. Dournovo, and con-
sequently had seen many of his juniors
promoted over his head. No sooner
had Nicholas succeeded to the throne
than the minister, anxious to curry
favor with the new car, submitted
to him a memorandum proposing
Prince Uchtomski for promotion and
for the appointment as chief of new
department. The czar read the memoir,
and then, with sarcastic smile, re-
marked: "Oh, you are suddenly appre-
ciating Uchtomski's merits"
M. Dournovo became perplexed and
terribly embarrassed, whereupon the
cZar commanded him to leave it on his
desk. Uchtomski received the appoint
ment in question, but held it only for
few days, resigning it in order to as
sumo the presidency of the newly or
ganiZedRusso-Chine bank at St. Pc
tersburg, to which he had been nomi-
mated by the czar, and which is in
trusted with the management of the
extensive financial relations between
the two governments. The cZar like
wise authorized him to become the
editor in chief of the now important
daily newspaper, the Viedomosti, which
derives it's Importance from the convic-
ton that it reflects the personal views
of the czar, and which distinguishes it.

How the Ostrich Runs.

A writer who has been engaged fo1
nine years i'll ostrich farming in South
Africa, Mr. Conwright Schreiner, cor
rects prevalent misconception con
cerning the manner in which these
great birds run. 1t is generally stated
that, when running, the ostrich spreads
out it's wings, and thus skins lightly
along the ground, but, according to Mr..
Schreiner, this is not correct. when
bird really settles itself to rum he
says, cit holds its head lower than
usual, and little forward, with deep
loop in the neck. The neck vibrates
sinuously, but the head remains steady,
thus enabling the bird, even at top
speed, to look around with mistaken
glance in any direction. The wings lie
along the sides about on a level with or
a little higher than the back, and are
held loosely just free of the plunging
thigh. There is no attempt to hold
them extended or to derive any assist
ance from them as organs of fight. =

TROUT AND PICkEREL.
Something About Their Methods of
Feeding, as Seen at the sAuuariuIn.

Something About Their Methods of
Feeding, as Seen at the Aquarium.
1t is easy to observe at the Aquarium
the habits of fish in feeding. Some are
sluggish, some are fierce, and some are
sly. The trout are now fed oRlive Kill
lies. The killies when thrown into the
tank scatter in all directions. with the
trout after them like chain lightning,
twisting and turning with marvellous
celerity. The killies double, the trout
dart afterthem. Rising to bunch of xii
lies at the top, the trout fairly make the
water fly; they jump almost if not quite
clear out of it as if they were turning
somersaults, and down they go in again
and on after the killies. 1t is dashing
slashing, crashing pursuit, and in about
half minute the killies are all gone.
The pickerel-how different How
silent, and yet how sudden. The llillie
dropped in above darts downward
through the water. Not pursued, it
slows down and halts in the middle of
the tank to rest and to recover it's
equanimity after it's recent disturbing
experience of being removed from its
home in the hve-food tank, carried
about in galvanized iron tray, and
finally dropped into another tank as
food for other fishes.
At little distance is observed the
pickerel; it has come up silently, like
long, slender little steamer moving
dead slow; it comes to halt so smooth
ly and quietly that the instant of its
halt is not noticed; it is simply seen to
be lying there, motionless, about six
inches from the killie.
All is peace and quiet in the tank, and
the killie still balances itself in the
water and rests. Suddenly, with no
apparent eXertion of power the pick
erel darts forward. The movement is
so sudden that it is not realized that the
pickerel has moved until it is seen in it's
new position. The killie is gone; it is
now in the piclserels interior, and, prob
ably, with only a very hazy notion, if
any at all, of how it got there.
The methods of the trout and piclSerel
are very different; their results, how
ever, are much the same.-N. Y. Sun.
