Washington, Aug. 25.-Some inter
esting statements relating to the gold
region in Alaska and the reindeer ex-
pertinent there are brought out in the
annual statement Of United States Com
missioner of Education Harris, sub
mitted today. Touching on the import
anee of extending the introduction OF
reindeer into that territory, the report
says the reindeer stations ought to be
able TO furnish 500 reindeer trained to
the harness at once for use Of miners
on the Upper Yukon river.
1T was my purpose, the commits

Ii this arrangement is carried out
as intended, an important experiment

year at the gold mines. The plan OF

Finding OF the Board OF Inquiry on the
wrecklng OF the Mexico.

Finding OF the Board OF Inquiry on the
wrecklng OF the Mexico.
Seattle, Aug. 24.-The board of in
quiry on the wrecking of the steamship
Mexico in Dixon entrance August has
revoked the pilots papers of Captain
Thomas, master of the steamer. The
papers of Pilot Connell, who was on
the bridge at the time of the disaster,
have been revoked for period of 80
days.
Although the decision of the board
has not been made public, it is stated
on good authority that it found that
the blame lay with Captain Thomas,
who had retired. 1t was held that he
should have been on deck, especially as
he placed his vessel in dangerous po-
sition. Further, it was found that
the rock on which the steamer struck
was West DEVILS Neck, and was there
fore known to the navigating officer of
the Mexico, and he should have taken
care to keep his vessel ont of the way.
Captain Thomas pilot papers in AL
askan waters are revoked entirely, and
his masters papers are suspended for
80 days. Captain Thomas has been in
the employ of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company as master for more than
a year past. He came here from San
Francisco, which is his home. BY all
who have come in contact with him he
is regarded as an exceptionally capable
officer. 1t is understood that he will
be retained in the service of the COM

would Compel Bachelors to wed

New York, Aug %. - Charlotte
Smith, president Of the Women's Res
cue League, called on the Central Labor
Union to explain her new scheme for
compelling marriageable bachelors to
marry. She was too late to get the
floor, but she buttonholed several of the
delegates.
She said she had statistics to show
that there was an intimate connection
between her scheme and the labor ques-
tion. The great competition of women
in the field of labor, she held, was be-
cause so per cent of the men refused to
marry. She said she was going to Bos-
ton to start campaign against the
Republican and Democratic candidates
for mayor there, because both of them
are bachelors. She did not believe that
a bachelor ought to hold an elective
Office, because no man could possibly
act on questions of public morality un-
less he was married.
: She was preparing a pamphlet upon
her scheme, and intended to show that
if bachelors were compelled to marry
and the army of unmarried women
were to became housewives and mothers,
wages would go up Even if all the
bachelors in Greater New York were to
marry there would be still 100000
women without husbands. 1t is re-
ported from Boston that Mr.. Curtis, the
Republican candidate for mayor of that
city, has already announced his engage
ment to young woman.

tween Puget sound and Alaskan ports
next summer. You can't get craft of
any sort out there for love or money.

CHASING A FII.lBUsTER.
Probable Cause OF the Firing or the
Florida Coast.

Probable Cause Of the Firing on the
Florida Coast.
st. Augustine, Fla, Aug. 24.--Last
night heavy firing at sea by rapid-fire
guns and the rays of searchlight
brought out the people Of this city.
The whole affair was carefully noted by
the officers of the First artillery from
their quarters in St. Francis barracks,
who are positive that the vessel fred
not less than 40 shots, first rapidly and
then at intervals, ceasing as if the OBJ
ject of the chase was caught Then
the rapid firing would be resumed.
The ship, probably war vessel, could
not comenearer tan about five miles off
shore, and was evidently chasing
lightdrahght boat, as the flashes came
from the starboard gun.
The coast is indented by sand strip
reaching out to about one mile off this
bar, and it forms TIE cone of Anastasia
lighthouse, straight down the coasts for
IA miles to Matanzas inlet. The ST.
Augustine bar had but seven feet Of
water ON it at the stage of the tide
when the firing commenced, which
would have prevented the coming over
of the Three Friends or Dauntless, were
those the vessels chased. There was
only four feet Of water on Matanzas
inlet, and unless vessel could make
this harbor she would either have to
put to sea or surrender For this reason
indications point to the fleeing boat
taking an easterly course. When the
firing commenced a squall was on and
the night was very dark.

Canville, Cal, Aug. 23.-William
Truax and his partner, an actor named
Dillon, have struck what is said to be
one of the richest ledges that have been
found in this district. The men only
arrived here about noon on Monday,
and before sundown Truax, who is a
miner recently from Cripple Greek, had
founl what will probably mean a for
tune for both. This latest find is sit
uated on Morrison creek just below the
Graves brothers claim and above the
Davis placer mine. The two men were
up at daylight yesterday morning, and
by noon had stripped enough to show
them ledge two feet wide of wonder
full richness. Dillen came from Sacra.
mento, where he was stopping.

Passenger. ON the Queen.

Port Townsend, Aug. "a. - The
steamer Queen, which sailed from here
for Alaska tonight, carried Charles Is

TRAMPS ARE BLAMED.
Misplaced Switch Derails an Excursion
Train Near Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-An engine at
tached to a heavy excursion train on
the Chicago & Calumet Terminal rail-
road was derailed last night near Riv-
erdale. The passengers were thrown
from from their seats by the jar and one
man was probably fatally injured.
Seven others received slight injuries.
After a delay of two hours the engine
was raised to the track and the train
proceeded.
1t is very evident that the accident
was caused by misplaced switch, be-
lieved to have been the work of tramps.
The switch was found broken in two
places. The baggage-car was telescoped
over the cab and coal tender. Murray,
one of the injured, was riding in this
car, and was caught in the debris. He
was dug out unconscious and may die.
The force of the shock was so great
that the track was literally torn out of
the ground There were 500 passengers
on board, and had the train not been
running at a slow rate of speed, a ter
rible loss of life would have resulted.

Many of those now in Dyea are phys

IhS Prlncess hopes She May Yet RUE
Over Hawaii.
San Francisco, Aug. 25.-Princess
Kaiulani, who has just attained her
majority, will return to Hawaii in
October after an absence of 10 years
spent in England and on the continent.
She has hopes of being made queen of
the present island republic if annexa-
tion fails. She is watching for a
chance. When it comes she looks for a
compromise between the republicans
and the royalists in favor of herself,
for the chances of her aunt, ex-Queen
Liliuokalani, being restored to power
are generally conceded to be slim in
any event.
The princess will arrive in New York
about September % from England. She
will probably stay for short time in
this city, visiting with ex.Queen Lii
iuokalani, who will then be residing
here temporarily while congress is not
in session. Kaiulani's father will ac-
company her.
