4 Russian Horror

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2s.-A terri
bic casualty has taken place at the vii
lage of Khniefoff in the Kozloff dis
trict, OH the western coast of the Cri-
mea. While services were in progress
in the village church an alarm of fire
was raised. A panic ensued in the
crowded congregation and the efforts Of
the officiating priests to calm the tumult
We're absolutely unavailing. In the
stampede for the exits fifty-four per-
sons were killed by suffocation or being
trampled and eighty others were seri-
ously injured.

A POOR SEASON
Most of the Whalers Are Fast in the
Tee

Ice
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.-The news
from the whaling fleet is discouraging.
Nearly all the vessels have been caught
in the ice and some of them may not
last through the winter. Not since the
winter of 1889, when the fleet was caught
in the ice off Herald Island, has such
wholesale disaster threatened. Four
teen steamers, barks and schooners are
known to be in the pack and only five
of them are supposed to have more than
two months supplies aboard.
A dispatch received by the merchants
exchange says: "The whaling steam
ers Orca and Beividere the whaling
steamer Rosario and the steam tender
Jeanie are frozen in to the west of Point
Barrow and may be crushed in the
ice.
There is no provisions on the whal-
ers but as they are near land the crews
may be able to reach an Esquimaux
village.
''The whaling steamers Alexander and
Kariuk arrived at Unalaska prior to
the sailing of the British steamer Bris-
tol for Victoria"

Of his improved line Of cultivation in
better crops, greater resistance TO
droughts by retaining the drainage wa
ter and his young plantation Of trees
will gladden. his sight on the former bare

Prof. Thomas Egleston Of the faculty

has retired from his honorable post at
his own request. He was the founder of
the original school of mines, Of which,
says the University Bulletin, the faculty
mentioned was the outgrowth. In 1868
the school of mines was started under
his immediate auspices and its success
has exceeded his brightest hopes In that
direction The mining interest Of the
country, as our readers are aware, is
great and daily grows in extent and i'm
portance. Before 1868 young men had
no enlarged facilities for studying chem
istry, geology, mineralogy, metallurgy,
anil of which are essential to successful
mining operations. Since Columbia,
through the praiseworthy efforts of
Prof. Eglestob, set the pace, several
other Institutions of learning have start
ed schools and departments of mines,

and the mining industries Of the coun-

The ascent of Mount st. Elias, in
Alaska, by Prince Luigi of Savoy, Of
which mention was made in The Herald
at the time of its occurrence Guly 3D,
is one of the most noteworthy Incidents
of the year. A party Of Americans. led
by Mr.. Bryant of Philadelphia, ha0
commenced the ascent in the hope of
planting the American flag on the sum-
nit of St. Elias before the prince and his
party should win the honor for Italy.
But ore of Mr.. Bryant's number was
taken i'll on the way up and the party
on that account relinquished the prize.
The height of Mount st. Elias was sat
isfactorily measured by the prince and
found to be 1920 feet. Previous at
tempts to ascend this mountain failed.
The Tapham expedition reached height
of II, 400 feet, and Prof I. c. Russell, in
the second attempt made under the aus
pices Of the National Geographical 80
ciety In 1891, went as high as 14,500 feet.
Previous to Prince Luigps experience,
st. Elias was believed to be Of volcanic
nature, but he could find no indications
in that direction.
