San Francisco, September GA special to the Examiner from Seattle says the news of the disaster to the Arctic whaling fleet came in the following letter from Captain J. c. Downing of the Wolcott to Austin Claiborne, the local agent of the Pacific Steam Whaling company:
 Juneau, August 29-I arrived from the westward this evening. The latest from the Arctic is that all the vessels that were caught in the ice were lost. Mason (cap- tain) of the Jeannie, is crazy. I obtained the above information from Captain Ned Lennon, pilot of the gunboat Wheeling.

WHOLESOME ADVICE
For People Whose Stomachs Are Weak
 and Digestion Poor.

pr. Harlandson, whose opinion in dis eases is worthy of attention, says when man or woman comes to me complaining of indigestion loss of appetite, sour stomach, belching, sour watery-risings, headaches, sleeplessness, lack of ambition and gen. eral rundown, nervous condition, advise them to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, allowing the tablet to dissolve in the mouth, and thus mingle with the food eaten. The result is that the food is speedily digested before it has time to sour and ferment. These tab lets will digest food anyway, whether the stomach wants to or not, because. they contain harmless digestive principles, pepsin and Golden Seal which supply just what the weak stomach lacks.
 I have advised the tablets with great suc- cess, both in curing indigestion and to build up the tissues, increase flesh in the thin
 nervous patients, whose real trouble was dyspepsia and as soon as the stomach was put to rights they did not know what sick ness was.
 [ A 5O-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be bought at any drug store, and as they are not a secret patent medi- ncine, they can be used as often as desired with full assurance that they contain noth- contrary, any one whose stomach is at all nderanged will find great benefit from the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They will cure any form of stomach weakness
 or disease except cancer of the stomach.

LONG DISTANCE AND
 LOCAL TELEPHONES
The Former Line Now Being Built Into Birmingham.
WORK ON LOCAL SYSTEM
Is Progressing Rapidly-Four Miles oi Overhead Cables Being Stretched Underground Cables Arrive this
 Week Exchange Finished.

The long distance telephone line, which Is to connect Birmingham with all the big cities of the country has at last reached this city.
 Yesterday morning a force of men begun digging holes along Seventeenth street from the north, toward the center of the city, and this was the first intimation Bir- mingham had had that the line was really so close The poles will be erected in a few days and all will then be ready for the wires.
 Such large force is working on the line that the men in front clearing the way and digging the holes are necessarily several miles ahead of the men who are putting up the wires.
 The line is not being run along the rail- roads, but follows the dirt roads from town to town, in as direct a line as possible. It will come into the city by way of North Birmingham.
 It Is probable, though not definitely set tied yet that as soon as the wires are put in the city, an office will be opened on the ground floor of the Southern Bell Tele- phone building in Second avenue, next to the postoffice, and there all people will have to go to talk, unless they have a long distance phone put in their residences or places of business. A local instrument cannot be used on long distance line.
 The work of putting in the new telephone system by the Southern Bell Telephone company is now progressing rapidly.
 Already over 6,000 feet of overhead cables, containing 12O wires each, have been stretched. About 20,OO0 feet. nearly four miles, will be put up before the work is done. These cables are in addition to the wires already put up.
 The underground cables which are to be run through the conduits in the business portion of the city have not yet arrived Part of them are expected in a day or two, and the company hopes to begin lay ing them this week.
 The government kept all of the cable manufacturing concerns so busy during the war making submarine and other kinds of cables that the manufacturers have never caught up with their outside orders.
 The handsome new exchange of the com- pany in Second avenue, between Egh- teenth and Nineteenth streets, is now prac- tically completed, and all that remains is to connect the. Underground cables with the instruments.
 ~-~t1r is preJbable that all the work will b, completed and the new telephones put il use by the middle of October.

GOLD BROUGHT
 FROM KLONDIKE
Portland Brings More Than
 Million Worth of Dust.
RICH STRIKE ON THE YUKON
Another Hard Winter Predicted-Pro. visions Will Be Scarce and Prices High and Trouble Will Come
 Consul Has Difficulty.

San Francisco, September 6.-The steamer Portland, just arrived from St Michaers with about s1,5OO, 900 worth of gold dust and nuggets, brought six boxes of the precious metal belonging to the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and three boxes for the Alaska Commercial company, each box weighing over 250 pounds. The lucky miners on board were few Charles Anderson, John Lee, E. N. Leon, William Young and James McMalon being the fortunate ones. An derson is said to have cleared up over $50, 900.
 The Portland brings news of a rich strike on the Yukon in American territory. The headwaters of Kayukuk have banned out rich, and 400 men are diggig there, and twice that number are waiting to sledge there this winter.
 Kayakuk is about 1000 miles from the mouth of the Yukon and is about 600 miles in length. It is this side of Minook, and from the latter place. from Fort Hamilton and Circle City the prospectors will go in this winter.
 Two miners recently were shot by Indians in Lake Tagish. One was killed and the other wounded. The criminals have been placed on trial at Dawson.
 J. H. Murphy, of the Portland's passen- gers, says: Tt is going to be a hard win ter in Dawson and all along the river. Pro- visions will be scarce and then the trouble will come. Out of thirty river boats, at least twenty of them will be frozen in. The majority of the boats will get no further than Circle City, if they get that far"
 San Francisco, September GA special from Seattle says: Colonel McCook, United States consul at Dawson, has had a slight difficulty with dominion official already, yet-he has been at Dawson but a few weeks. As result he was compelled to remove the United States flag from the store of the Alaska Commercial company at Dawson and allow a dominion customs officer, Davis, to hoist the British ensign. The American coat of arms was removed from the door and Colonel McCook sought another office.

None of the drivers or horsts in the spill was injured.
 The brown mare Silvan Way took first heat in the 2:10 pace and darkness caused the race to be postponed until tomorrow.

lIMHE
RETURNS SLOW.
Railroad Commission Constitutions
 Amendment Adopted in Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, September 6.-Election returns are mighty slow in coming in. It seems that despite the local contests the vote throughout the state was light. A feature of the election was the defeat Of the Eagle element in Loneoke county.
 The returns show that Sheriff Holcomb of that county, the regular democratic nomi- nee has been defeated by Walls, the inde- pendent, and that Joe Eagle the democratic candidate, has been defeated by Tanner, in- dependent, for assessor. The Eagles have been the ruling element in Loneoke county for more than twenty years. Joe Eagle, with five of his relatives, has just been ac- quilted at Loneoke of the murder of three members of the Boon family, old enemies.
 The railroad commission constitutional amendment is adopted by large majority and the amendment providing for the levy ing of a three-mill road tax is also favor ably acted upon.

 Sir Thomas has given great amounts to

 He is a member of many benevolent or

 she coaled August from the bark J. D. Peters. She then returned to Point Barrow.
 The Belvidefe's officers also told MT. Jack
 son that the Rosario had been crushed in
 the ice and that the Wanderer had extri-
 cated herself and moved on in the vicinity of Herschel Island. As the Orica and Jessie H. Freeman were destroyed last fall, the
 natives having set fire to ana burned tne
 latter, it would appear that the only vessels
 remaining al the mercy of the ice foes and

 Captain Edwin Goodall, of San Francisco, who came down on the Alki, said Gap tain Downing told me that the fleet was destroyed 6l the ice breakup. He got his information from Pilot Lennen, of the United States gunboat Wheeling. Lennon was told of the disaster at Kotzabae Sound. Downing heard of no lives being lost, and I suppose no deaths occurred. Captain Downing further stated that when the Trasher left Unalaska August 10 Captain Snow, master of the vessel, was sick and that there were many fishermen at Chignik waiting for the return of the bark J. D. Peters, so as to get out of the country. I also learned that the whaler John and Winthrop left Unalaska early in | August with 300 barrels of whale oil and 2,000 pounds of bone." The Pacific Steam Whaling company owned all the whalers of the Arctic fleet | save the Belvidere. the property of William Lewis, of New Bedford.
