team that played against Yale and

knee few days before the first big game
and was put on the sick list. He has

Cobb says that last May gold was

known as Damman creek. A big rush
of prospectors occurred, and claims were
located at every available point.
There was also rush to Henderson
creek, but the excitement soon died
down, as little gold was found.
S. P. Weston, of this city, made the
round trip on the Portland. He is con-
vinced from conversation with the min
ers that there will be great suffering on
the Yukon this year. He declares the
unanimous opinion of miners is that
prospectors should wait until next

dixie.
The crew of the J. NJ. Colman tried to

the men were compelled to remain.
The crew of the schooner Jewett and
the carpenter of the Sander were piped

Every vessel from st. Michaels has

Our Hold on Samoa.

New York, Aug. 2S.-A special from

Instructions have been issued by the
state department to Luther w. Osborn,
of Nebraska, the consul-general to Apia,
Samoa, which will form the basis for the
restoration of the influence of this coun-
try in the Samoan islands.
Under the Cleveland administration
Samoa was abandoned to Germany and
Great Britain, and no attempt to live up
to the provisions of the tripartite agree
ment has since been made by this gov
ernment. President Mckinley, how
ever, considers the islands well worth
holding to the limited extent provided
by the agreement, and his ideas on the
subject are embodied in the instructions
which Mr.. Osborn will carry with him
to Apia.
1t is probable that a United States
warship will be sent to Apia to show
the Stars and Stripes and to let the
people of the islands understand that
this government has not lost interest IN
them
