Government Authorities May Take
Action That viii Assist In Prevent
ing the Horror That Threatens to
Follow the Mad Rush For Gold.
Washington, Sept. 15.-Great interest
was attached to the cabinet meeting
yesterday On account of the various
important questions which are pending
and the fact that 1t was the first meet
ing in some weeks. Every member Of
the cabinet except Secretary Long, who
Is out Of the city, was present, and
each had with him an unusually large
number of papers and documents re-
lating to matters pending in his depart
ment. The session was devoted largely
to the consideration of the Union Pa
cifc question, presumably the advisa-
bility of taking an appeal from the de-
cree Of the United States court at
Omaha for the sale of the property
% under the foreclosure proceedings The
members Of the cabinet were very reti-
cent, an injunction having been 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 discussed the San
Pedro, Cal, harbor project and Attor-
ney General McKenna rendered an
opinion, to the effect that Secretary
Alger should proceed under the law
to carry out the project of building a
breakwater and making other improve
ments at San Pedro Neither the de-
cision on discriminating section % of
the tariff act, nor the Cuban or Ha-
waiian questions were mentioned at
the meeting.
With reference to the Klondike rush,
Secretary Alger laid before the cabi-
net several kilograms urging relief for
stricken prospectors, including one from
the citizens committee of Tacoma,
representing that distress existed al
ready at Dawson City. stating that
starvation had begun and praying that
r. q revenue cutter be sent with supplies
to those in need of them.
The discussion made 1t evident that
the cabinet was not quite clear that
the government authorities had war
rant of law for furnishing supplies,
but Secretary Alger telegraphed to
Senator Perkins. of California. who is
interested in line to Alaska, asking
him il he would undertake to deliver
a shipload of supplies at st. Michael.
II II be found that the law will not
permit the government to send sup
plies then relief will be furnished by
private persons, In order that a horror
may not grow out Of the rush for gold.
Some consideration also was given to
the practicabilty of getting supplies in
by way Of n projected winter trail via
Dyea.
The government will now go ahead
with the construction of a breakwater
at San Pedro and will push work on
the project, though some matters yet
remain open for adjustment.

venoTs yesterday by Superior Judge

Mrs. Craven sought to sustain her
title to the property, were forgeries.

A BUSY FIRM.
The Trump Brothers Busy as NaiIers--
The h0rseless Carriage the
Coming Invention.

Trump Brothers, machinists are busler
than they have been for several years.
They are running over two hundred hands
and have two gangs now at work, enc day
and one night force. They are building @
large silk machine for Mr.. Kaiser OF New
York. They arc turning out some thirty
stocking knitting machines o week, which
work like charm and when set in mo-
ton knitsa stocking complete In D very
few minutes. One girl can attend to M
teen machines, thus manufacturing the
stockings at cost of only few cents per
pair, material included.
Every department is kept busy ever
since the pas;age of the Dingley bill. Be.
fore its passage the firm was only working
some seventy hands and then only on
half time, but now everything is running
tofts fullest capacity. The firm Is also en-
gagged in building horseless carriage
that promises to revolutionize the old time
manner of keeping q horse for driving
purposes. Tho carriage is the invention Of
James n. Halsey Of Philadelphia, his
sSean engine being used for motive
power.
The poweris made by fame made by
Il coal oil which generates steam for one OF
Mr.. Halsey's patent steam engines, which
furnishes tho power to run the carriage.
The motive power is placed OH tho front
OF tle carriage ana Is under the ulrecG con-
troll of tho person who sits on the from
seat, where the levers are placed In easy
reach of tho operator. Two tanks one OF
which contains tho water for generating
the steam and the other one for holding
the oil, occupying spaces on the inside OF
the carriage, over which the seats hide
from view. The motive power is six-horse
power and is capable of driving the
vehicle over twenty knots IN hour.
The work Is not yet completed although
steam has been placed in the motive
power. There Is no danger of its explod-
ing, us every safety appliance is provided
to guard against such IL contingency. Mr..
Haisey is also the patentee OF the engine
which has been adopted on several vessels,
One of which was placed on George W.
Childs Drexel's yacht which was built at
the H. & IL. works. A trial trip of the
Carriage will be made in tho near future,
when we hope to tell our readers moro
about its capabilities.

DOLLAR WHEAT.

Maud Miller in the summers heat,
Raked the meadow thick with wheat.
The Judge rode slowly down the lane,
Smoothing his horses chestnut name.
"With wheat at dollar per-" said he,
'This maid Is about the size for me-"
Then he smiled at her and she blushed at
him,
And over the meadow fence he clim.
"Will you marry me, sweet maid?"he said,
And she told him yes, and they were wed.
Alas for maiden. alas for Judge,
For an old designer and wheatfeld drudge.
Lord pity them both and pity US all,
For Maud didn't own the wheat ut all.
And the Judge remarked when he learned
the cheat:
Don't talk to mo about dollar Wheat"
