WAITING FOR A THAW.
800 People Are Camped at Yakuta
Bay, Alaska.

Seattle, Wn, March 23.-The schooner
Boring Sea has arrived from Yakuta
Bay, Alaska. When she left there
We're about 300 people there waiting to
go over the pass into the interior.
Capt Grotle reports that little pro-
gress is being made at Disenchantment
bay. TIE bay was frozen over hard
the past winter, and when the Boring
Sea left it was just beginning to float
out on the tide. There were too many
icebergs in the bay to make navigation
safe and the schoOner's passengers dis
embarked at Yakuta, a small village on
the coast.
Trouble of a serious nature was re-
ported on the schooner Morrill,. Before
the Morrill, arrived at Yakuta adverse
winds were encountered and she was
driven some distance out of her course.
Then the passengers, so it was stated
to Captain Grotle, became almost NUT
nous. During the trouble, the captain
of the Morrill,, it is said, quelled row
by a liberal display of guns in the
hands of himself and crew. Finally the
schooner was put about and arrived
safely at Yakuta, where the passen-
gers and freight were discharged
The Boring Sea brought no advices
from the interior.

MUSICAL COMEDY BILLED.
"Monte Car1o,' by Sydney Carlton and
Howard Talbot, to Be Presented
for q New York Verdict.

New York, March Z3.-"Monte Car
10" a music comedy, words by Sydney
Carlton, music by Howard Talbot, will
be given it's initial American produc-
ton by Edward E. Rice at the Herald
Square theater tomorrow night. The
piece was originally presented at the
Avenue theater, London, where it met
with extraordinary success.
OF course, Monte Carlo does not
tell a very connected story; few pieces
of its kind ever do. It has just enough
thread running through it, however, to
hold things together and to prevent in
terest from tagging. A number Of
unique and distinctive types of charac-
ter are depicted. Among them are a
frolicsome attorney general a chOleric
old British warrior, to whom it is sweet
music when the guns go boom and the
guns go bang" an eccentric waiter,
who is a reformed circus performer;
dashing young lieutenant, a briefiess
barrister, who, after the manner of his
kind, falls in love with an heiress; and
a bluff, breezy sea captain.

peka and will remain here until after the
war is over as he expresses it. He
says that the Rock Island will keep up
with any reductions the Union Pacific
may make, and while he would not make
a positive statement, it is believed that
on any schedule the Union Pacific puts
into effect. The Rock Islands route to
Denver is five miles shorter than that of
the Union Pacific.
The new time cards on Thursday will
change the time of the westbound trains
on both roads but five minutes through
Topeka. The race will be made across
Kansas west of this city, and the Rock
Island will make reduction of 40 min
utes in the present time. Instead of
arriving at Denver at IL o'clock and Colo
RADIO Springs a 11O5 o'clock, the new Rock
Island train will reach the two points at
lO:ZO a. m and 1880 a. m. respectively 1t
is understood that the new Union Pacific
schedule will make the arrival at Denver
at 1870, or ten minutes later than the
time planned by the Rock Island.
Assistant General Manager Allen says
that the Rock Island has locomotives that
can take the trains through at from so to
fight might result in the fastest running
time ever made by trains west of the
Missouri river. If the Rock Island con-
tinueS to go into Colorado ahead of the
Union Pacific, the overland mail, which
is big item at present to the latter road,
will be given to the former.
Both the flyers were delayed by the
storm last night, but the Rock Island
train crossed the Union Pacific track at
LimOn several minutes ahead of the
Union Pacific and went into Denver in
the lead.

Trenton, N. j.. March 23.-When a
freight train from the west pulled into
Coalport. on the Pennsylvania railroad,
last night, a negro nearly seven feet
tall half crawled and half tumbled
from an empty car to the ground.
"Give me a drink" he gasped.
One of the train hands got pail of
water, and the negro swallowed nearly
two quarts of it without stopping to
breathe.
The drink revived him and he said
that he had been a prisoner in the car
since last Wednesday. when he crawled
into it at Pittsburg with the intention
of stealing a ride to Jersey City. He
had been drifting about over the road
nearly five days without food or drink.
He was taken to the police station,
where he was served with food He ate
four pounds of beefsteak, eight pota-
toes, a loaf of bread, seven boiled eggs,
half a dozen cinnamon buns, a dozen
bananas, a can of baked beans and a
quart of milk

HILARITY IN ATCHISON.
What They Do to Have a Funny
Time Over There.

Atchison Globe: AIois Philip, the
baritone player, was lately passing Abe
Zahn's market at Ninth and Kearney
streets, and saw this sign displayed:
Geese Eggs for Sale" This sign great
ly amused Mr.. Philip, and he brought
several persons from Commercial street
to see it. When Mr.. Philip stood in
front of the market, laughing at the
sign, Abe zahn stood in the door, as
mad as a wet hen, but saying nothing.
The more Mr.. Philip thought about the
sign, the more it amused him, and one
day he asked his pastor to go and look
at it, His pastor had formerly been a
professor at st. Benedict's college, and,
being an educated man, Mr.. Philip
thought he would enjoy such an exhi-
bition of Ignorance. So he took his pas
tor up to look at it. We'll" the priest
said looking at the sign, the wording
is perfectly proper" Mr.. Philip was
dumbfounded, and so indignant that he
has left the Catholic church, and taken
his children out of the Catholic school.
He still says the sign was wrong. In
speaking of the matter today, he said:
You never say geeseberries, and con-
sequently you should not say geese
eggs

GOTHAM WAR SPIRIT.
All the Theaters, Music Halls and
Hand Organs Play Patriotic Airs

All the Theaters, Music Halls and
Hand Organs Play Patriotic Airs
New York, March 23.-The war spirit
in New York is remarkable; at every
theater and music hall the orchestras
are playing patriotic music, and even
the hand organs in the streets have dis
carded the coon" songs and other pop
ular airs and have had their cylinders
set for Yankee Doodle" 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" and the national
hymns, which draw 20 cent pieces where
the ordinary repertoires bring pennies
and nickles.
About noon yesterday as the stock
exchange closed for the half holiday, an
Italian with a street piano took his
place at the corner of Broad and Wall
streets, and commenced a fine pro-
gramme of old army songs, like
Marching Through Georgia % ''Red
White and Blue" and Tramp, Tramp.
Tramp, the Boys are Marching In
five minutes he had a crowd of 500 OF
500 men around him, who soon COM
menced, to sing, and the open air con-
cert of patriotic music continued for
half an hour or more, while the players
partner circulated through the crowd
with a tin cup that was filed again and
again with coins. The Italians receipts
for that one short matinee probably eX-
ceeded those of any other in his prev
iouS experience.
At the vaudeville shows all the topi-
cal songs are on Cuba Spain and war
The living pictures and tableaux are mil

One enterprising manager throws the
faces of Washington, Lincoln, Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan, Mckinley and Miles

of public amusement are decorated
with bunting, and "OId Glory floats

spring have had the effect of starting
a sudden and extensive irrigating en-
