HUNGRY YOUNGSTERS GET HOME

They Leave Huckleberry Island In a
 Rowboat-The storm Goes Down and
 They Row to New Rochelle-Had
 Eaten Their Last Cracker.
 New Rochelle, July 2s.-The heavy northeast storm which prevailed over Long Island sound for the last forty eight hours has abated and the angry waves have subsided. John Nesbitt, Edward Bard, Asa DeForrest, Edwin Cornell, Christian Morgan, Lillian De- Forrest and Blanche Cornell, all of Mount Vernon, who have been camp ing on Huckleberry Island, a barren piece of land one mile east of New Rochelle have safely reached the main- land.
 Two weeks ago these young persons decided to go camping. They bought tent and hired a rowboat at this place and started for Huckleberry Island. Everything went all right for the first week. On Monday afternoon a heavy northeast storm set in. That night Judge Bard started with provisions in small rowboat from City Island, but had to turn back on account of the storm. No tidings came from the party from Monday until this morning. The boys parents became alarmed yesterday and came here to see if they could hear some news from the chill dren. Judge Bard started In a row boat yesterday afternoon for Huckle- berry Island, but before he had gone one hundred feet he was nearly capsiz- ed and had to return to shore. One hundred dollars was offered to the old salts here if they would go out to the island and carry provisions to the campers. The fishermen refused, de- 1 claring that no boat could live in that sea. All night the friends and rela- tives of the campers stood In the rain on the shores of the sound at this place and watched to see If the tents were still there.
 When the storm abated. this morning the campers gathered up their belong ings and started in a rowboat from the island for New Rochelle harbor. The members of the party were welcomed on shore by their parents.
 The campers tell a thrilling tale. They say that the rain made holes in their ent and rendered 1t useless. The waves dashed high on the island and came within three feet of the tent. The provisions which they had taken with they ran out yesterday morning, and since that time they had had nothing to eat. It was impossible to get any fresh water on the island, and the campers suffered greatly from thirst. | The boys searched the island for dry wood to build fire with, but their ef- 1 forts proved fruitless. Last night the campers all gathered in the torn tent and hugged the light of two candles to keep warm. The boys and girls, who were dressed in the lightest of clothing were soaked through. The campers played cards last night in the tent to drive the thoughts of hunger away. They say that they don't go camping again this season.
 The party started on the 10:40 train l for Mount Vernon.

EAMoIrs HORSE nRAn.

Lexington. Ky, July 29.-Domino, the famous race horse, died at the farm of John R. Keene this morning of meningitis He was taken Ill yesterday and six veterinaries could not save him. Domino was foaled In 1891 and won about $1OO,OOO In stakes and purses.
 Domino was bred at the farm of Ma 1or B. G. Thomas, was foaled In 1891, and by Himyar out of Mamie Grey. He was the most sensational winning tWo-year-old in the history of the American turf, securing stakes amount Ing In value to $191, ,730, starting in and winning six as follows: Great Ameri- can at Gravesend, Great Eclipse at Morris Park, Great Trial at Sheepshead Bay, Hyde Park at Chicago, Produce at Monmouth Park, Futurity at Sheeps- head Bay, and Matron at Morris Park. He also won the first race he ran in on May 22, and In a match race, the outcome of the Futurity, he ran dead heat with Dobbins on August 31 at Sheepshead Bay.
 As a threeyear-o he started nine times. and his winnings were the Withers at Morris Park, when he beat Henry of Navarro and Dobbins at a mile, and a match race with Clifford at a mile on the Sheepshead Bay track, when he beat the older horse very easi- ly In the fast time of 1:39h. He also won the Ocean handicap at a mile and the Flying and the Culver stakes at six furlongs. He ran a dead heat with Henry of Navarro at mile and a fur long at Brooklyn, and in the American Derby at Chicago, distance a mile and half, the horses were an hour and a half at the post and Domino was last. His last appearance as three-year- old was at Morris Park, when he was third to Henry of Navarro and Clifford at a mile and a furlong.
 | In his four-year-old form 1t was con- clusively shown that he was a sprinter rather than distance horse, for he was able to beat good horses at mile and under, but not at anything more. He started in the Suburban, but was a ! bad fourth; was beaten at mile and a furlong by Henry of Navarro, and in the First Special, distance one mile and quarter, he was fifth to Henry of Navarro, Clifford and others. In the l sprints, however, he won four out of five starts, his defeat In the other being due to the fact that he was conceding
 twenty-four pounds to Butterflies al | three-quarters of a mile.
 In the fall of 1895 he was retired tc the stud, and narrowly escaped from ar attack of pneumonia on his way to MT
 Keene's farm. His death is a great loss to the turf, for he was royalty bred and game to the backbone

THE TROUBLES IN INDIA
4 SERIOUS SITUATION AT CAMP
 MALIKIND.

A Determined Attack by Tribesmen-
 Losses of the British-Another Arrest
 for melting seditIon-Deportation uf
 the Natu Brothers.
 Bombay, July 29.-The situation at Camp Malakand has become very ser ious. Word has been received that the natives in large force made second attack on the fort yesterday. The fighting was very severe, Thirteen of the British troops were killed and thir- ty were wounded, the latter including Lieutenant Castello. The tribesmen lost one hundred men.
 The worst feature of the situation now is that the garrison Is short of ammunition; and 1t Is feared the whole supply will be exhausted before rein making the greatest efforts to get these through ip time.
 It s reported that Mad Mullah has mustered at least 10000 tribesmen. The editor of the newspaper Vaibhan, published at Poona, has been arrested and brought here on the charge of sedi- tion.
 Scidar Balwantrao Natu and Huro- pant Ramchunder Natu, who were ar | rested on a charge of disloyalty and escorted outside the limits of the Poona colectorate, have been deported, under I the act empowering the viceroy to is sue warrant for the arrest and depor- | tation, without trial, of persons known to be engaged in disloyal practices. This power has not been exercised for many years. It was last employed dur | ing the vice-royalty of Lord Dufferin when Dhuleep Singh was arrested at l Alden, while en route to stir up dlscon- f tent in the Punjab, in furtherance of l plans formed during a sojourn in Rus sia, Its present employment has made a great sensation among Europeans and natives alike.
 It Is believed that the hostility of the Natu family is due to the fact that one of the brothers, who had been afflicted with the plague, was sent to the Poona segregation camp, along with the low
 castes. The neighbors of the Natu: could not understand why a wealthy
 Sirdar should be treated like common people, and on all sides was heard tht
 significant remark, You will soon SC,
 what will happen when Natu come' out"

THE GOLD FEVER IN TACOMA
A Norwich Boy Writes Home Of the
 Excitement Over Klondike in That


 A Norwich Boy Writes Home Of the Excitement Over Klondike in That City.
 r. E. Boynton of Norwich has receiv- ed letter from his brother-in-law, William B. Coffee. in Tacoma, which tells of the condition of that city and the extent of the gold fever very graphically. MT. Coffee Is a former Norwich boy, brother of James l.. Coffee, and well known there.
 He says all Tacoma is gold mad. Shops and factories are running short handed and in some cases have had to close because of the migration to the Klondike region Business in the differ ent lines of goods which are required by the gold seekers Is booming, so as to almost cause famine in some lines. At one time not a pick or shovel could be bought In Tacoma until more, or dered by telegraph, arrived The mer- chants are coining money
 Were it not for the illness of his two children MT Coffee himself would have arranged his business so as to be away for & year and ere this be on his way to Alaska. About dozen young bust ness men, friends and associates of his, went year ago and have just re- turned to tell fabulous stories which have set the city wild. Not one of them brought back less than s10000, and some brought far more; and they have the dust to show to substantiate their otherwise incredible tales.

PILGRIMAGE TO KL0NDIKE
IHIRTY-FOUR HEBREWS MEAN TO
 WALK ALL THE WAY.

They E1poct to Go from Boston Through tIle Southern States us Tar as Texas, and Up the Pacific Coast, Supporting Them selves on tho Way by PeddiinE.
 Worcester, Mass, July 29.-Thirty- four Hebrews started from Boston on Tuesday afternoon en route for the gold fields of Alaska, leaving behind them families, houses and lands, many Of them taking their departure without the knowledge of their families. They came to Worcester yesterday after noon.
 It is their intention to make the jour hey, after leaving New York, on foot, and to pay for their subsistence by ply ing their respective trades and ped ding. Their leader and president Is Charles L. Wise. MT Wise said that the party were all aware of the dan gers and perils of the trip, but were willing to face anything. There were three things for each man to promise before he was entitled to join the par ty-frst, that he had no regret in ieav ing his home; second, that he would keep clean; and third, that he would abide by the wishes of the majority. It was also necessary for each man to be a Hebrew. That will prevent any race distinctions and quarrels on the way.
 Each man was requested to deposit such a sum Of money In the treasury as he felt able to, the deposits ranging from s15 to s200. The. oldest man in the party is fifty years old and the youngest seventeen years old The party will start this morning for Hart ford, and after leaving Hartford will go to New York, and then will begin the overland journey. Instead of trav- cling due west they take southerly course, peddle through some of the southern states as far as Texas, and from there go up the Pacific coast to Washington. They expect to reach there in the spring, and will buy pro- visions, wagons and horses to go into Canada along the western border. They expect to reach the gold regions in the middle of May They will travel and rest alternately six hours at time un- til they reach the promised land.
 In the party all kinds of trades are represented. One man has a knowl- edge of medicine. Another is a taxi dermist and skilled hunter and is ex- pected to shoot game for the party.
 President Wise is but twenty-seven years old, and says that he was the candidate for mayor of Hartford on the socialist ticket in 1891.

NORMANNIA'S SAILING POST.
 TONED.
A Slight Flaw in Her Shaft-Passen
 gers to Go on the Columbia

gers tO 1O Ull tlle SOluI1Did.
 New York, July 29.-The Hamburg American Line steamer Normannia, Captain Barends, which was to have sailed from her dock at Foboken at 10 o'clock this morning for Hamburg by way of Plymouth and Cherbourg, has had her voyage cancelled, and the com pany will have the steamship Colum- bia, Captain Vogelgesang, which is due to arrive at New York tomorrow morning, ready so as to sail with the Normannia's passengers on Saturday, the 31st, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Last night when the machinery of the Normannia was being inspected pre- paratory to sailing a flaw was discov- cred in the crank-shaft journal of the starboard engine. While this defect is not sufficient to disable the steamer, for, having twin screws, the Normannia could with the use of the port screw have made the trip in about two days longer than her usual time, the com pany concluded that the convenience and comfort of the passengers would be best served by sending them on the Columbia on Saturday. The Norman mia will sail on Thursday, August 5.
