lite in the Polar Region.

Some curious details of life in the po-
lar region have been obtained from
members of the Nansen expedition
They all dwell on the feelings of delight
which they experienced in once more
meeting other human beings. So tired
did they become of seeing the same
faces and hearing the Same voices day
after day in the course of the slow drift
northward that in the end feeling of
irritation was produced. AT times this
irfitability became well-nigh insup
portable. Finding it almost impossible
to endure the sight of another day, they
would set off on long walks over the
ice, each man by himself. 1t was an
astounding thing, one man said, to see
his comrades striding away over the
zee from the ship, each in c different di-
rection, and carefully avoiding his fell
lows.

Report Was a Canard.

PITTsBURG, July 26.-The report that
a raid on the mines of the New York &
Cleveland Gas Coal Company was con.
templated this morning was without
foundation. The mines were running as
usual and everything was quiet.
Colonel W. P. Rend, the Chicago
operator, arrived in the city today.
While he favors arbitration, he says the
true uniformity movement is a humbug.
If the meeting tomorrow is not for the
purpose of settling the strike by arbi-
tration, he will not attend, as he will
not lend his support to a plan to bring
about settlement when uniformity is
established.

vague information of shipwreck some

A CRISIS Is Immtnent.

PITTsBURG, July 26.-Lively times are
promised in the coalmining situation
this week. A crises is pendiug. This
is conceded on all sides. The arbitra-
ton commissioners, on one side, feel
hopeful that they will bring about an
initiative for settlement at the meeting
Tuesday morning. The miners officials
on the other hand, claim to have adopted
measures that will make complete tie
up.
It has developed that many of the
Virginia miners are waiting for word
from the Pittsburg district, especially
from the New York & Cleveland mines.
They want to hear of the miners in these
mines having joined the general suspen-
sion. This, it is claimed by officials,
will bring all the faltering ones in West
Virginia into line, thus making the
strike effective in that it will shut off
the supply of coal.
Arrangements have been made for
Eugene V. Debs and other prominent
officials to come to this city and hold a
meeting for the benefit of the New York
& Cleveland miners Thursday morning.
Among others expected to be present
are Samuel Gompers, A. d. Ratchford,
M. M. Garland and w. D. Mahon. At
this meeting it is intended to strike the
final decisive blow, and, if possible,
make the tie-up complete. The reputa-
tion of Debs, it is expected, will draw

proper government officials IN inventions
of Frank M. Reed, of this city, which
have been completed, tested practically
and found to be capable of revolution
izing the handling of war vessels at sea.
The inventions carry out to perfection
the idea originated by Russia in using
oil instead of coal as fuel for war ves-
sells. Reeds invention covers system
of oil burning which would make it pos
sible for vessel like the Indiana to car
ry enough fuel to last trip around the
world.
The system. is gas generation from oil.
The gas is generated by an atomizing
plant, is smokeless and is capable of a
tenth more heat than the Russians get,
or 33 per cent more heat than the gov
ernment is now getting from coal, max
ing it possible to work up to greater
speed. Where 80 stokers are now neces-
sary on great war vessel, one man
could handle all the valves.
Another of the inventions covers a
storage tank that is absolutely bullet
and shell-proof. The cost of the equip
ment is very small, and would be paid
in a month or 80 in the saving of fuel.

Alaska News.

PoRT TOWNSEND, Wash, July 3d.
The steamer City Of Topeka arrived last
night from Alaska. She brings news
that the Clondyke fever is on the in
crease at juneau. Nearly every able
bodied man there has gone or is prepar-
ing to go to the rich fields.
Authentic reports direct from Dyea
are that there is now as much freight
piled up at the head of the inlet as
the Indians can pack over the divide
in the next Is months. This amount
of freight will be more than doubled
when the steamers Queen and Mexico
now en- route, arrive. This condition of
affairs practically precludes all possi-
bility of hundreds of the rushers reach
ing the mining region this year.
frankie. Meyer, the Juneau pioneer
newspaper man, will leave there in two
weeks for Dawson City, by different
route than by Dyea and over the divide.
He will go by the route followed by
Lieutenant Schwatka, who conducted an
exploring party into the Yukon valley
in 1880. This route starts from Taku
inlet, 80 miles south of Juneau. From
Taku to Lake Telsin the distance is 130
miles. over level prairies, and the
country from Lake Telsin is open valley
through to the Yukon river by way of
the Hootingua. river. With the aid of
pack horses the Taku route is by far the
most preferable. 1t Is probable that a
stage line will soon be operated on this
route. Parties who have been over both
routes say the walk of 130 miles over
level country is. more easily accom-
plished than that of Is miles over Chill
cat summit.

REAL ISSUES DODGED.
Cabinet Meeting Devoted Largely to
Minor Matters.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Great In
tcreSt attached to the cabinet meeting
today on account of the various i'm
portant questions that are impending,
and the fact that it was the first meet
ing in some weeks. Every member of
the cabinet except Secretary Long, who
is out of the city, reached the White
house promptly at II o'clock and each
had with him an unusually large num-
Der of papers and documents relating
to matters pending in his department.
The early session was devoted almost
entirely to the consideration the Union
Pacific question, presumably on
the advisability of taking an
appeal from the decree of the Unit
ed States court at Omaha for the sale
of the property under foreclosure pro-
ceedings. The members Of the cabinet
were very reticent, an Injunction hav-
ing beer placed on them not to talk Of
the matter at this time, but it was
stated that an announcement relative
to the course the government would
pursue might be expected in the course
of ten days.
The cabinet also.i discussed the San
Pedro, Cal, harbor sproject, and Attor-
ney General McKenna rendered an

tary Alger should proceed under the
law to carry out the project of build
ing a breakwater and making other

or Hawaiian questions we're mentioned

Secretary Alger brought up the
Kondike rush and adverted to the
probable necessity of relief measures
for the benefit of Americans, who have
rushed heedlessly into the gold fields.
but the discussion of this matter was
very informal and fruitiess of results.
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 al
ready at Dawson City, stating that
starvation had begun, and praying that
a revenue cutter be sent with supplies
to ST. Michael's, and distribute the sup
plies to those in need of them. The
discussion made it evident that the

CROP REPORT.
Government Statement for the
Week Given Out.

Week Given Out.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE week
ly crop bulletin ISSUED by the agricul-
tural department for the week ending
Sept. 10, says: The week has been ex-
ceSsively hot and for the most part dry
in nearly all districts east of the Rocky
Mountains. With sufficient moisture
the conditions would have been most
favorable to corn, but in most of the
important corn states, the crop, more
particularly the late planted, has suf-
fered seriously from drought, and is
being prematurely ripened Much of
the crop is now safe from frost, and
cutting has begun in the more norther-
ly sections In Nebraska, recent rains
will improve late corn and with favor
able conditions in Iowa during the next
two weeks, some of the late corn will
make fair yield the early crop having
been rapidly ripened under the excess
sive heat of the past two weeks, with
some detriment to quality. In Kansas
most of the early corn has been cut
and the late planted is suffering from
drought. Subsequent weather condi-
lions will have but little effect upon
the crop in Missouri, where it has been
seriously and permanently injured.
Showery weather of this and the pre-
ceding week has caused slight injury to
harvested grain in oregon and Wash
ington. Threshing is about finished in
Oregon, but has been somewhat delayed
by showers in Washington and portions
of Minnesota No improvement in the
condition of tobacco is reported from
Kentucky Flowing and seeding of fall
grain have been much delayed general
ly, but favorable progress has been
made in New England and portions of

and other provisions in large quanti-
ties. 1t is a common occurrence to see
from six to twelve bears any after

Col Young estimates the number Of
buffalo at twenty-four, and says that
they seem to be the only game not in

Col Young says he has consulted with
DR.. Frank Baker, superintendent of

practicability and advisability of cor
railing the remaining buffalo in the
park with view to their preservation
and increase and that their concur
rent conclusion is that it has been the
experience of most persons engaged in
the capture and domestication of wild
animals that while the young may be
confined with successful results, it is
otherwise with adults, a large proper

Jones. the superintendent against
whose rule the strikers at the Lehigh
and Wilkesbarre mines rebelled, dis
cussed the situation today. Mr.. Jones
came here from Stodston, England,
where he had spent seven years as a
superintendent. He worked his way
up from the bottom to his present posi-
ton. Asked about the cause of the
miners dislike for him, the superin-

to restore discipline in, the mines, and
to operate them on paying basis for

did about as they pleased, having been

of silverware and broke the furniture.
we were armed and could have killed
a hundred of them if we had wanted
to. 1t was a drunken mob, that was
all. and I thought we had enough
bloodshed"
Are you not afraid of violence at
the hands of the strikers if they get
hold of you?"

without running any risk
do you anticipate trouble when the
men go back to work tomorrow ?"

ask for. Wages had gotten to a point
where the men could hardly exist il
