Many River Steamers stuck on Sand Bars
IN the Yukon


San Francisco, CAL, Oct. 31.-Ice
was making on the Yukon, and there
was thin ice at Dutch Harbor, when
the Portland sailed, on October 11th.
At least a dozen river steamers are
struck on sand bars in the Yukon, and
all will probably be lost. The Dawson
City is total wreck. The Herman
and Tacoma are aground, and the other
boats are in such perilous positions
that, when the ice breaks, they may
go to pieces.
All the treasure on the steamer Port.
land was one box of gold dust and
nuggets, consigned to the Alaska Com
mercial Co. Its value was not made
known, but it is not believed to exceed
$4,000. Several returning miners were
on the vessel, but they carried their
wealth in the form of drafts, and were
reticent regarding the amount.

A. to Spanish Methods.

~ PAINS patriotic bull fights" have
. furnished a theme for criticism
- In this country's press. Thu
point which this criticism aims to en-
force is that the Spanish temperament
is brutal In respect even to things hat
are regarded as pastime. that the bar
barities visited upon the Cubans are
simply a manifestation Of Spanish in
s,inct, and that resort to bull fights as
a means for raising a war fund is some
thing that the civilized world must re-
gard with hands uplifted in horror.
What is said in comment on the
Spanish temperament may he true
enough. yet II is % probable that the
world will regard with horror the bull
fight contributions TO SPANS ex-
chequer. This way OF raising money
for supposed worthy purposes Is no
novelty in Spanish communities. Time
out az mind Spanish bull fights have
been conducted under ~benencient aus
pices. Frequently the gate receipts have
been intended for religious. charitable
or benevolent urposes In countless
instances, hospitals. asylums N
churches have been the benefciaries. In
deed. II has been assumed that this
disposition OF receipts has been studi-
ously made. in order to save the plazas
de toros from risk OF the enactment OF
laws designed to suppress this style OF
exhibition.
The bull fight may very naturally
seem revolving to US, yet we presume
that in our own country some hundreds
OF thousands OF people can be found

THE POET AND rne ovERsHoE:

The hallway to the fat below
Contains a mystery that lures;
A secret l more long to know
The longer that my wish endures-
Two little rubber overshoes-
A tribe worn and yet so neat.
My thought diurnally pursues
The owner of the dainty reel.
Note how the high instep has made
Its graceful outline permanent
See where the midget heel has strayed
In its disturbed Imprisonment
I wonder does some dimpled girl,
Sweet and sixteen. claim ownership
OF these wet-weather mates that cur
Their tops as she might curl her lip!
Perhaps an older maiden wears
The fragile things-some one whose
years
Have taught her how TO set the snares
That Cupid sets for younger dears.
Nay. some proud dame of widowhood.
All Grape and grace and past distress.
Nayhap in these wee shoes has stood
And conquered by her pensiveness-
Pcrchanee a venerable dame.
OF rroudest pedigree. has placed
The shoes with care and wears the same
In rain or him with prudent taste.
Heighoi I wish the shoes were sues
And she were standing In them now.
With me close by her side TO choose
Where We would make our path-and
how.
