~ Co.'s Plans Adopted.

Galveston, Texas. May 27.-Since the be-
ginning of the week interest has been
largely centerng in the aldermanic fights
particularly in that feature of 1t concern
ing new railroads. strong effort is be-
| ing made to elect what is known as the
progressive ticket. which is pledged to the
admission of all the new railroads that
may apply. and in particular TO grant the
! Susie" railroad a franchise TO extend its
tracks about half block to the water
| front and from there to the depot grounds.
etc. In order to make this extension the
railroad would have TO cross the tracks Of
the wharf company and the Gulf. Colorado
and Santa Fe. \nd also cross flat on the
hay front. the title TO which is In dispute
| between the city and the Santa Fee railroad.
| 1t has been openly asserted for some time
that the Santa Fo and the wharf company
were opposed to the granting ct this IRAN
chlsc, because they did not want any rivals,
| 1t being understood that MIR. Huntington,
upon completion OF the purchase OF the La
Porte road would make his terminals and
Nharves in the east end
| Last night the progressive people had a
rally. in which it was given out that the
purpose of the gentlemen now asking such
franchise was to get out of the bottle
| In which they are cooped up for the pur-
| pose of putting in II wharf system ~ the
east end of the island. 1t was also pointed
out that the granting of such additlona,
facilities to the Susie and La Forte Would
hasten the coming of the southern Fhchle'
and that il permitted 10 extend It's tracks
the Susie would be terminal line, otter
ing facilities the same MS those now OIL
fered by the wharf company.
The thing that set the people agog To-
day was II brief card in the morning PAPER.
in which MIR. John Cotter announced that
he had decided not to make the race for
alderman from the First ward MT. Coiter
is employed by the wharf company as su-
perintendent OF it's creosoiing works sec
rotary Bailey Of the wharf company told a
reporter that he had gone 10 Mr. Cotter aud
told him that he was good creosote WORKS
superintendent, but n poor politician; that
the wharf company needed all his lime.
and that If he should be elected the wharf
company wonId have TO ask him to devote
all his time to the creosoe works or re-
sign Mr.. Bailey stated further that three
Of the wharf cumpany's directors are mem"
bers of the 'ity council. and if one Of its
employees should become member of the
same body he thought the people might
kick.
Today is the last day for the filing of
nomination papers and the only candidates
remaining in the First are Alderman
Hughes and MIR. Carl Emme.

In West Virginia.

WHEELING, W. Va, Sept. S.-District meetings were held in all the West Vir- ginia regions where the strike exists Monday night and Tuesday. The min CTS for the most part a e been modest in their demands. At Paramount the delegates were instructed to secure, if possible, a continuance of the strike till West Virginia is in position to demand recognition, but if that is not possible to secure national body pledge to continue the organization work in the state till such time as the whole state was organized and able to demand wages based upon the union scale.
 J. w. Req, of the Painters and Deco rators, who has led the Fairmont fight so well, is one of the delegates. Req stated that if the Columbus meet ing does not settle the strike all union labor in Chicago, including railroaders, would at once boycott and refuse to use or handle non-union coal. This has been agreed upon secretly. Req also said he would use his influ- ence with all labor leaders to keep up agitation among miners till every body is organized after the settlement is made.

FROM THE KL0NDIKE.
Prospects of Short Rations in the Gold Diggings.
THERE'S LIQUOR AND BEER IN PLENTY.
Their Places Would Have Better Been Filled With Flour and Meat-There's Lots of Gold, and Most of It in
 the Ground as Yet.

EUREKA. Cal, Sept. 9.-The news by the steamer National City from St. Michaels corroborates all that has been said of the prospects of short ra- tions in the gold diggings of the upper river during the winter. The steamer which connected with the river steam CT J. J. Healy at the mouth of the riv- CT, brought three passengers.
 One of these is J. A. Ralston. of 21< McCallister street, San Francisco. He says there is gold, and lots of it in the klondike, but it is generally still in the ground.
 It is believed that the claims now lo- cated could turn out 50 tons this win ter if the scarcity of food did not pre- vent operations. He gives a rough guess that the Klondike is good for S250, 900, 900 before petering out.
 Six thousand men in the mines about Dawson City is the estimate of Ralston, who came down on the National City with E. E. Leonard. of Nanimo, B. C., and k. E. Lamb of Portland, Ore. The supply of the neces- saries of life to feed these men, he says, is totally insufficient. In fact. he estimates that the stores will be exhausted before the winter is half over when the famine will be on in earnest, and especially as the num- Der of men in the country will be greatly augmented by the later ar rivals over the passes. There is whisky, beer and all kinds of liquor in profusion, he says, but their places could have been better filled on the steamers with four It is not that the men in the country have no money to buy supplies, but that the stocks of the stores are inadequate.
 Ralston says that one of the best claims on the Eldorado is the property of J. A. R. Hall, of Missouri. It will turn out at least Sl, 1000, 000 Claim 12, on the Eldorado, is also very rich. IL is. no uncommon thing to take out two ounces to the pan from any part of the claim. What wealth is coming on by the steamer Excelsior can not be esti- mated. Those of the passengers of the Healy who came to St. Mchaels were very reticient as to their store of dust

NATIONAL COOPERATION.
Marine Hospital Service Will Help the
 Southern Authorities.

WAsHINGToN. Sept 9.-Surgeon Gen eral Wyman says the yellow fever situ- ation looks decidedly more hopeful. No new cases have been officially re- ported to him, although there are newspaper reports of three new cases at Biloxi. He has wired Dr. J. J. Lemon at Biloxi, concerning this report. Dr. Guiteras, the yellow fever expert from the University of Pennsylvania, re- ported his arrival at Ocean Springs. He will investigate the outbreak. The sur geon-general has formally rendered the aid of the marine hospital service to the state authorities of Louisiana and Mississippi, and Dr. Oliphant has been requested to telegraph daily the situa- ton. He wired the fact of the death at New Orleans Tuesday, and said there had been no new cases since.
