dams have been fighting against death
from starvation this Winter according
to reports that haYe Just been received
here from Circle City
Upon the headwaters of the river that
is named after these Indians they waited
through December for passing of moose
and caribou, upon which they depend for
their food supplies. Moose and caribou
did not appear al the usual time. but
the Indians thought the passing would
be only a little later than usual They
did not think the animals had taken
some other route for their trip into the
interior. so they waited until all their
food was eaten up. Then they began to
live on the flesh of their dogs
Still the game did not come. and early
in January the Indians had eaten all the
dogs, which proceeding left them unable
to travel TO the river A trapper who
passed through at this time took the
news to Circle City, where Il relief party
was at once organized. Several dog
sledges, with such supplies as could be
spared, were loaded. and under the
charge Of old YukOueers who are famii-
lar with the country, started out Jan
uary 10, over the snow, to the relief of
the Indians.
Whether relief reached them in time is
a question.

POLITICS IN THE SOUTH,
Important Work of the Georgia
Democratic Executive.


Democratic Executive.
Atlanta, March 1S.-The State Demo-
cratic executive committee, which met
here yesterday, accomplished two impor-
tant things. In the first place it selected
Hon. Fleming G. Dubignon, to succeed
United States Senator Stephen Clay as
chairman of the committee, and 1t also
changed the method of selecting the
Democratic nominee for governor.
While the naming of Dubignon has
been expected ever since Senator Clay
announcement of his intention to resign.
it comes in the nature of an anomaly.
Mr.. Dubignon has for many yars been
identified with the gold wing of the Dem
ocratiC party. In 1892 he was a delegate
at-large from the State at the National
Democratic Convention. And was instru-
mental in moving the delegation to the
support of Grover Cleveland. When he
returned home he continued energetical-
ly to work for the election of Cleveland.
He was an ardent adherent of Cleveland
until the expiration of his term, although
sentiment in Georgia had in the mean
time revolted against the President,
Prior to the holding sof the Chicago
Democratic convention of 1896 Dubignon
was a candidate for the senatorship. but
his anti-silver opinions told heavily
against him., and hegac9uld accomplish
the late Speaker Crisp, who held or
thodoX silver views.
Dubignon accepted the tenetS Of the
Chicago platform Subsequently He has
looked with covetouS eyes on the COVER
norship, which is to be settled by the
Fall election, but fearing that the vot-
ers did not yet have sufficient test Of
his faith, he has decided not to offer
himself as a candidate.
The committee which elected him yes
terday is altogether composed of silver
men, but only three votes were cast
against him.
Under the old system of nominating
Democratic gubernatorial candidate each
county was permitted to use its own plan
in choosing delegates for the State con-
ventiOn. There We're mass meetings.
disorganized primaries and other means
of popular expression, which gave op-
portunity for corruption and sharp prac-
tice, and led to letter of denunciation
by Col. Allen d. Gambler. the present
candidate for governor, in which he
charged questionable methods in the
election of the present State administra-
ton.
The committee provided for a general
primary on June in every county in
| Georgia. at which delegates will be
elected and instructed. On June % the
delegates thus chosen will meet in con-
Yention, and the nomination for governor
and a State ticket to run with him will
be made On July 20, at a second con-
vention, the same delegates will nomi-
nate candidates for the judiciary.

Madison Square Garden. -

Madison SIua re Garden.
New York. March 1S.-ViSitors at the
military tournament in Madison Square
Garden last night saw an accident fire.
uuent enough in actual warfare, but one
that rarely occurs in an exhibition drill.
Three regular army artillerymen were
thrown from their seats Just as their
gun was entering the arena and sustained
injuries severe enough to cause the re-
mOval of two of them to Bellevue Hos
pitai.
Those seriously hurt are Corporal Geo
CoushIin, thirty-five years old, who sus-
tanned a compound fracture of the right
arm, and Michael Holland, cannoneer
thirty-seven years old, who received a
deep scalp wound. Edward Hearst.
oannoneer, was slightly hurt. The men
belong to Battery D. Fifth artillery.
With the band playing and the audience
cheering. Battery D. with four pieces, un-
der command of Lieutenant II. c. Car
baugh, dashed out of the runway at the
west end of the Garden. Two wooden
wings used in hurdle jumping were JUst
at the exit of the runway into the arena.
The first piece came out all right, but the
horses drawing the second piece SHE'D at
the hurdle wings and threw the axle of
the gun carriage against a heavy post,
and the three men were thrown into the
air.
Coughlin and Holland fell under the
wheels of the caisson, which passed over
Coughlins arm and cut Hollands head.
Hearst was thrown twenty feet into the
arena.
The men lay still but the piece went on
with timber and caisson badly wrecked
and the pole broken. Right behind came
the two other pieces.
Few in the audience suspected the truth.
The spectators thought it was all pre-
arranged and cheered wildly. There was
a revulsion when field hospital men and
| attendants came running up and carried
the injured men away on stretchers. One
of the uninjured pieces was driven out
again.
After the men had been taken away. the
! broken piece was driven to one side and
! the drill was proceeded with.

AMERICA AND ENGLAND.
The Development of Good Will Be
tween the Two Countries.


London. March lS.-The Chronicle bas-
es an editorial this, morning on the re-
curing cabled reports of the 'remarka-
BILE development of American good will
toward Great Britain.
The paper warmly reciprocates the sem
timent and declares that all thinking
people would welcome such an ''ap-
prochemente' more than any other pos
sble combination in the field of politics.
The paper contends that such a combi-
nation must come. if it comes at all as
the result of gradually developing senu-
ments in each country. 1t discusses the
reasons why it cannot be rushed, and
especially at the present moment and
says:
There are people on both sides of the
Atlantic who are looking for grounds of
misunderstanding. Some would not fail
to suggest that we are taking advantage
of American embarrassments to grind
our own AK. Others would assert tho
United States was ready to express in
stormy times a good will which did not
occur to them under blue skies.
THE American Government needs no
more help from US just now than at any
other time 1t is superabundantly capa-
Bile of meeting any situation that may
arise. 1t will be glad of our friendly
neutrality and national sympathy in its
motives and aims regarding Cuba. Both
of these it certainly will have, but at
this moment it is difficult for us to offer
more.
America may be certain, however.
that as a nation We shall joyfully meet
her outstretched hand now or at any
other time. Sooner or later. of course
an alliance in some shape or FORM will
unite the Engiish-speaking races of the
world That may happily be regarded
as assured All history and all signs
of modern times would be falsifed if
that were not SO. Even this may pre-
cipitate an alliance Nothing can perma-
nently postpone it,
The Chronicle instances the possibility
of combination of the European pow
ers to crush the United States which.
however, it cOnceives to be wildly i'm
probable in view of the recent speeches
in the Austrian and German parliaments.
1t declares that in such a case it is per-
fectly certain that the combination
would have 10 crush Great Britain at
the same time, and says it hopefully
cherishes the conviction that if he com
bination aimed at crushing Great Britain
the Stars and Stripes would be found
alongside the British flag.
