RELIEF NOT NEEDED.
War Department Abandons iiApedi-
tion TO iIIonuiIAe.


ton to itIondihe.
Washington, March =. = The war de-
partmeut has decided to abandon the
expedition for the relief of the miners
in the klondile country because the
conclusion has been reached that no
necessity exists for it. Secretary Alger
has written Il letter to Senator Hawey,
chairman Of the senate committee on
military affairs, explaining the depart
ment's position and asking that con-
gress take action by joint resolution
authorizing the department to dispose
of the supplies purchased for the cx-
petition, including the reindeer which
have just arrived from Norway, and to
abandon the project entirely.
In his letter Secretary Alger says
the conditions on the Yukon have
changed 50 as to render the expedition
unnecessary, and that Gen. Miles and
Gen. Merriam both agree with him. He
is also advised TO this effect by the Cana
dian minister of the interior. Later adj
vices than tLose received last December
when the expedition was decided upon
Indicate, he says, that the miners are in
no danger of suffering and he thinks
that the great crowds of prospectors
now going in over Taiya pass will carry
sufficient provisions to divide with the
miners in case they need assistance.
Gen. Alger expresses the opinion that
the reindeer can be sold at price suf-
ticient to reimburse the government
for their cost. He says he has been Of
fered 500 each for 100 of them This
amount is above the cost price. He also
states that the interior department is
anxious to take charge of the animals
He also asks for authority to sell the
supplies purchased for the expedition.

THE MAN OF THE ISLAND.

IltE MAN Oh THE ISLAND,
From the side of the hill, which was
here steep and stony, Il spout of gravel
was dislodged and fell rafting and
bounding through the trees. My eyes
turned instinctively in that direction,
and saw figure leap with great rapid
ity behind the trunk of pine. What it
was, whether bear or man or monkey, /
could in no wise tell 1t seemed dark
and shaggy; more knew not. But the
terror OF the new apparition brought
me to a stand.

both sides; behind me the murderers,

Silver himself appeared less terrible in

woods, and j turned on my heel, and,
looking sharply behind me over my
shoulder, began to retrace my steps in

Instantly the figure reappeared, and,

had I been as fresh as when rose, ]

as I remembered I was not defenseless

MANKATO'S VACATION SCHOOL.

The vacation school has come to
stay. Starting in Boston as an indus
trial school in the summer Of 1885, 1T
has been adopted elsewhere, until to-
day in most of our large cities it has
been taken under the control of the
boards of education, and provided
with the best teachers obtainable.
The vacation school has come
largely in response to an earnest de-
mand from the children themselves.
With an inexhaustible fund of stored
up energy, some regular occupation is
necessary to their happiness, and
every mother breads that constant
demand of unemployed days, What
shall do neXt?"
The Normal school offers an an
swer to this question in the summer
sessions of it's model school, so
planned that healthy occupation is
ensured for the morning, leaving the
afternoon and evening free for recrea-
ton. All grades are represe nted
from the Kindergarten to the review
class, and provision made for in

dividual work along the lines most
needed by individual children. The
session begins at $50 in the morning
and closes at HOO, no home tasks
being assigned. Arran gements can
be made for delicate children to take
one or two subjects only. Provision
has been made for manual training
a feature which always proves at
trautive to boys. One small Chicago
bow declaring, "Dis beats wadin'."
No tuition is charged during the
summer. Books and apparatus are
furnished by the school for the nom
inal fee of fifty cents in all grades ex-
cept the kindergarten, where the fee
is one dollar. The school begins
Tuesday. July 5.
The following quotation from the
circular distributed last week will be
of interest.

Children so nervous that their

IRON MARKET QUIET.
Furnaces Working to Catch up With
 Orders

Thre is little or nothing going on in the iron market of the Birmingham district, eX- cept the shipments of iron out of the city as fast as the railroads can handle it.
 That is, there are no new sales being made, and very few inquiries are being re- ceived by the furnaces by would-be buyers The fact is, there is little or no iron lo had in this district for the next tn1r months to come The Tennessee conn tty has sold every bit of the iron that they can make between this time and the mid dle of next February, and the Sloss com pany has done the same. Furnaces are very rarely sold ahead for over three or three and half months. Naturally under these circumstances, the furnace companies are holding back little until they can in a measure catch up with their orders, and the foundries having recently placed large orders for iron, do not care to make further purchases just at present

EXPLOSION OF A
 GIGANTIC BOILER Two Negroes Were Seriously
 Injured. CITY DELIVERY CO.'S PLANT Boiler Was of the Sixty Horse Power and Left Behind It Mass of
 Wreckage-No Cause
 is Assigned.
CITY DELIVERY cos PLANT

Two negroes were seriously, if not fatal ly, injured by the explosion of a boiler at the ice plant of the City Delivery company, corner Twenty-second street and Avenue E, early yesterday morning. They were: VIRGIL MARTIN.
 WALTER ROBINSON. The explosion was terrific leaving be- hind 1t nothing but mass of wreckage and the two unconscious forms of the ne- groes No cause has been assigned for the explosion.
 The big boiler that burst was of the six ty-horse power kind and the concussion could be heard for blocks and blocks around. It requires three boilers to fur nish the power for the machinery of the plant. They are situated in frame struc- ture just east of the main building which holds the ice plant The house containing the boiler was almost completely wrecked as well as the boiler itself.
 Virgil Martin, the fireman, was standing near the furnace when the explosion oc- cured. He was knocked down, and pieces of the debris went flying over him. Hot water was spouting all about, but in some miraculous way he escaped being scalded to any extent. He received a blow on the
  conscious. One arm was broken, and he received other bruises.
 Walter RobiSson, the driver, standing near at the time of the explosion, was found unconscious within ten feet of his companion. Not a bone was broken, and there was no abrasion of the skin anywhere to show that he had been hit.
 The wounded men were removed to the medical college by the Warner-Smley com pany's ambulance, and pr. B. L. Wyman took them in charge as the physician of the ice company
 The cause of the explosion has not been explained. The colored night engineer, Ma than Brice, was on top of the building reg ulating the water flow when the shock came He at once jumped down in the engine room and stopped the machinery. He then raked the fire from under the oth- CT two boilers and looked about to see what the damage was.
 Brice said that Martin was a crank on the subject of keeping plenty of water in the boilers, and he was confident that a lack of water did not cause the explosion.
