Joined in a moment by Patrolman
Perry from the next beat, and together
they proceeded to cut down the gastly

when the two officers reported merely
a drop in the wax market the joke was
decidedly on them.

THE PROTECTIVE WATCH.

Lieutenant Dougherty will remain in
the vicinity of The cruiser while she re-
mains in port and will direct the every
detail regarding the protective watch.
From 4 o'clock this afternoon until
midnight tonight the Nina and Mar
keeta will patrol the waters in the
neighborhood of the big vessel. They
will be relieved at midnight by the
tugs Daniel S. Lamont and Scout in
command of Captains Thomas A. Keyes
and II. p. Coffey. These boats are pro-
vided by the supervisor of the port.
They will take on the police and mar
inc guards and remain on watch until
S o'clock tomorrow morning. At that
hour four police launches manned by
policemen and marines will go on duty
and stand by until tomorrow after
neon when the naval tugs will take
up the same positions which they as
sumed this afternoon. These are the
plans so far arranged by Lieutenant
Dougherty and they are not likely to
be changed. All the vessels mentioned
will remain off Tompkinsville until the
Viscaya leaves her anchorage and
points out to sea. In case the cruiser
comes through the upper bay and an
chors in the North river the patrol
boats and tugs will accompany her
and the same arrangements will main
tain.
Captain Eulate said that while his
ship was in this port his officers would
accept nc invitations of any kind. The
Spanish warship had come here on a
visit that courtesy and friendship be-
tween the dreadful accident to the
Maine was learned the flags were put
at halc-mast and there they would re-
main until the ship took her departure.
20 invitations of a social character
would be accepted-this he wished to
have understood.

VISCAYA in THE HARB0R


ed by the Spanish commander to whom
he rendered, in the name of Admiral
Bunce, the courtesies of the port, which
is formality whenever foreign ves-
sci arrives in American waters Lieu
tenant Ward remained on board about
a quarter of an hour, and as he de-
sccnded the gangway on his return to
the Undine, the royal Spanish ensign
was put at half mast. This was the
first sign that the spectators afloat and
ashore were given that the visiting
craft was aware of the disaster in
Havana harbor. Captain Eulete or
dered the flag at half mast as q token
of regret of the death of the American
sailors. Meanwhile the marines who
were to take up the first watch were
taken on the Nina and the Narkeeta,
as were also four police and a rouncs
man. A rowboat containing three men,
two of whom were r;wing and the
third sitting in the stern came out
from Tompkinsville and headed direct
ly for the Viscaya. The Nina inter-
ctpted the little craft and in response
to inquiries the man in the stern said
that he had a telegraphic dispatch for
tie commander of the cruiser. When
this information was transferred to
Captain Eulate the latter told Lieuten-
ant Doughtery to let the boat come
alongside, and also said that he would
see any newspaper reporters who
wished to come aboard. AS soon as
this was made known to the press
boats, which were lowering around, a
number of newspaper men accepted the
invitation, and in less than ten min
utes were all aboard plying questions
to the commander and officers of the
cruiser. While all this was taking
place the crowds on shore became larg
er and the keenest interest was taken
ir every movement of the different ves-
sells.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. = Acting
Secretary Meiklejohn, of the war de-
partment, pronounces to be absolutely
untrue the statement coming from
Portland, Ore, that Gen. Merriam, the
commanding general of the department
of the Columbia, has been ordered from
Washington to postpone the depart
ure of the government relief expedi-
ton to Alaska. The department has
been much annoyed by the circulation
of stories that it had any intention of
abandoning the relief project. Nothing
that has been reported to the officials
as to the alleged sufficiency of food
supplies in Dawson has come from
source that carries conviction, and it
can be stated on the authority of the
acting secretary that the relief eXpe-
ditiOns are going forward as rapidly
as the department can possibly push
them. If there has been any change
made by Gen. Merriam in the arrange
mentS for the departure of the eXpe-
ditions it is said that he has undoubt-
edly done so because he could secure
greater dispatch. 1t is also said that
the reindeer will be used as originally
intended.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 15.-The re-
port Of Maj. J. II. Rucker, of the
Fourth cavalry, who was sent to Dyea
by the war department to ascertain
the condition of affairs in the Yukon
was received by Gen. Merriam, at Van
couVer barracks. From his interviews
with those who have come out from
Dawson recently, and from his obser-
vations of the Chilkoot and White
passes Maj. Rucker concluded:
First-That, while there is a shortage of
stores IN the Yukon basin, state of fam
Inc does not at present exist nor is it likely
to exist in the immediate future.
secondhand a large expedition with guam
titles of supplies. hauled on seds by horses
or reindeer could not proceed down the Yu-
kon further than the foot of Lake Labarge
400 miles from Dawson.
Third-Reindeer on such an exped: tion are
no more serviceable than are mules or horses
Fou'h-That If the government assistance
is conspicuously needed in the Yukon, it will
De when the stores now in the hands of the
people are exhausted. which is not likely,
from all that he learn to be earlier than
April or May.
He therefore recommends that, if the
snow locomotive company which has
a contract with the government does
not convey the relief into the Yukon
during February the government pack
trains, with sleds, should carry them
across the Chilkoot pass, and down the
lakes and rivers to the foot of Lake
Labarge, during the month of March.
and there await the breaking up of ice
in the Yukon The supplies could then
be taken to Dawson in boats.
The Chicago Snow and Ice Trans
pCrtatlon company, which has a con-
tract with the government to haul the
relief expedition supplies from Dyea to
Dawson, notified Gen. Merriam today
that they would be unable to start
their snow train into the interior
earlier than the middle of February.
The contract which the company has
with the government. allows that
length Of time in which to start the
expedition. Gen. Merriam has, there
upon, extended the time for starting
the expedition to some time in Febru-

WAR ON GRAIN PRODUCTS.
Conjecture as to the Action of the
Milwaukee.

1t looks as if the Northwestern roads
will indulge in another rate war On
grain products from Minneapolis TO
lake ports. The tariff rate was fixed
at 10 ceLts after a long war last year.
The rate was maintained by all the
roads until recently, when the Duluth,
South Shore and Atlantic, forming part
of the Canadian Pacific system. put
in a rate of 8 cents. At the time it
claimed the step was necessary to meet
the competition of the Wisconsin Cen
trail road. The latter promptly re-
sponded by putting in a rate Of cents,
which secured for it about rs per cent
of that traffic.
Now the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul road has entered the arena and
announced that it will carry grain
products from Minneapolis to Chicago
at the rate of cents per 100 pounds
or make a through rate from Minneap-
oils to New York, via the cross-lake
lines of "a cents, or of 26 cents via Chi
cago and Chicago functions. These
rates will go into effect tomorrow.
The Chicago &, Northwestern and the
Burlington routes will join in the
scramble for traffic. though no official
announcement that they would do so
was made yesterday. although repre-
sentatives of both routes remarked
that they would probably have to
meet the reduced rate
It Is said the radical action Of the
st. Paul line was assumed for the pur-
pose of forcing the Wisconsin Central
to agree to restore the rate agreed to
by the st. Paul lines on Dec. 6.
Whether it's strong competitors can
whip the Wisconsin Central into line
remains to be seen. at the height of
the war last year, when navigation was
open and the roads in the Central
Freight associa ton had their knives
whetted sharpest, the rate on flour
from Minneapolis to the seabOard fell
to 171A cents. From present indications
the Eastern lines will not join in re-
ducing rates to the seaboard ard the
st. Paul lines will have to fight 1t out
among themselves.
The Wisconsin gives publicity to the
following:
Representatives Of the Chicago Milwaukee
e. st. Paul railway claim the statement that
they reduced the rate grain products from
Minneapolis to Chicago because of alleged de-
parture from regular basis by the Wisconsin
Central. is entirely without foundation
Chairman Midgley has been authorized to
state that their only reason for making the
reduction was to try and secure more equal
adjustment of the volume of traffic for the
Chicago route as against Maaitowoc and the
500 lire

CONSTRUCTION RACE.
Two Ronds Each Anxious to Reach
the Yukon First.

TACOMA, Jan. ia railroad build
Ing race involving the expenditure of
$16,GOO,0G0 has been commenced by two
wealthy corporations, each of which
desires to own the first railroad into
the Yukon country. Each road will be
about 400 miles long, running from
Pyramid harbOr, near the head of Linn
canal, to points on Lewis river below
Five Finger rapids. The companies
back of the railroad projects are the
London Exploration company, and the
Yukon company, organized last sum-
mer by Andrew E. Burleigh, the prin-
cipal stockholders of which are Phila-
deIphia and New York men. Both cor
porations have engineers and surveyors
at work, between Pyramid harbor and
the Lewis river. The projectors or
both roads figure on an average cost
of over 100000 a mile. requiring an out
lay of over $S,000,000 for each road.
The equipment for each will cost
about LOCO, 0C0 more
