Wright, Commissioner of Labor has
received a personal letter from Manuel
Dunham, statistical expert of the Bu
reau of Labor, who was sent to the
Klondike some months ago to investi-

from the manifests of boats and from

Less than $500 tons reached there,
and between 700 and 500 tons of this
consisted of furniture, whisky and
hardware-less than 200 tons for 500
men, and much of it was consumed
during the summer. Prices are in

$3.50 a hundred and many other staples

sold as high as $500 apiece there, and
$500 has been offered and refused here.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The re-
markable growth Of the exports of Mex
lean cattle to the United States from
the subject of a report to the State De-
partment from United States Consul
kindrick at Ciudad, Juarez.
He says that while it was supposed
the large exports were attributable to
desire to forestall the increased duties
carried by the Dingley Act, yet this
has proven to be erroneous for the
trade goes on increasing steadily, while
many cattlemen have exhausted their
herds and all have realized handsomely
The Island of Cuba draws about 5000
head per month, and the Consul says
that the price of cattle for home con-
sumption in Mexico will soon rise to
point where they cannot be profitable.
There are not many cattle left in Mex
leo, and the quality exported to the
United States is of low grade, that have
no effect on prices in the Southwest.

THE ADULA's CREW.
Marshal Barnes Getting Ready to
Take Her to New York Saturday.

The prize steamship AduIa will in all
probability sail for New York tomorrow.
Arrangements to that end have about been
completed, and it is believed now that
there will be nothing to interfere with
the beginning of the voyage at once.
Marshal John NJ. Barnes has been hard
at work for the last two days, getting his
crew in shape for the trip and now has
need of only one or two more men before
the list will be complete The following
Is a list of the officers and crew who will
make the trip:
Capt. Frank B. Avery, First officer j.
M. Mortified, Second officer T. ]. Dam
leis, Chief Engineer Charles A. William
son, Second Engineer William Lamon,
Ihlrd Engineer Joseph Zemelka, Quarter
masters A. f. Austin and Nimrod- Long,
steward Bennett Cook John Douglass
Sailors Thomas Pelan, Noses Hall, Will
nam Massen and Peter Smith, Firemen
James Smith, Isaac Robinson, William
Washington, Prof. NJ. c. Rutherford and
Kew w. A. Mcleod Oilers George Fitz-
gerald and ]. H. Hewitt Besides these,
there will be coal-passers, walters and
other employees. II will be comparatively
an easy matter to secure the remainder
of the crew needed and so far as can be
seen nothing will interfere with the start
of the Adula on Saturday.
The steamship was inspected yesterday
by the local inspectors as to the condition
of her hull and boilers. The Adula is
not under American registry and can,
therefore, get no clearance papers here.
On arrival in New York the marshal
viii advertise the sale for ten days and
then put her on the block to be sold to
the highest bidder, but not below the
minimum figure set by the court, which
Is $4,000. Whether the officers of the
court Will succeed in getting that amount
for her remains to be seen.

BLUES WITHOUT A COMMANDER.
Capt. Gnudry Placed on the Retired
List.

Capt. Gnudry Placed on the Retired
The Republican Blues in Savannah are
without commanding officer. Capt. ]. J.
Gaudry has been placed upon the retired
list, with the rank of captain There is
no other commissioned officer Of the COM
pany in the city, so the Governor or Mai.
Edward Karow will have to make a tenn
porary appointment, or there will be no
head to the command.
1t is thought that Capt. Gaudry will be
asked to remain with the company as
temporary captain until the return of the
three Savannah companies of the First
Georgia Regiment.
When the call for volunteers came Capt.
Gaudry did not volunteer, as he felt that.
since every man had the right to decide
for himself, it would. be ruinous to his
interests for him to do so. First Lieuten-
ant George w. Drummond was promoted
to captain of the company that went from
the Blues to the war, but Capt. Gaudry
retained his commission in the Georgia
Volunteers. Some days ago he sent in his
application to be placed upon the retired
list. 1t was not granted Immediately, on
account of there being no commissioned
officer of the company here to whom he
might turn over company property.
This was the reason assigned in the an
swer to his application, but Capt. Gaudry
regarded it as rather an unreasonable
view of the case, as there is no company
property to be turned over. All of it was
taken away by the company, under the
instructions of the Governor, at the time
of the departure of the companies for
Griffin to be mustered into the service of
the United States. He wrote these cir
Gums tances to the office of the adjutant
general, saying that ne could not be held
responsible on the bond that is required Of
every commanding officer for the safe re-
turn of all company property, as the prop
erty had been taken from his keeping
The application was granted upon the
strength of these representations.
Capt. Gaudry has been a member of the
Republican Blues since Jan. q, 1877. He
has served in every position from that of
a private up to captain. In December OF
1886 he was elected second lieutenant, and
in May of 1888 he was made first lieuten-
ant. His election to the captaincy came
in December of 1896, upon the resignation
of Capt. w d. Dixon,
Capt. Gaudry says the Republican Blues
are making arrangements for a jolly well
come to the company that represented
them in the First Georgia. A telegram
from Lieut.. w. l.. Grayson says the regi-
ment will be camped at Macon for ten
days, but that he will keep Capt. Gaudry
advised, so that he will know of the time
Of the arrival of the Savannah companies
at least twenty-four hours before they
get here.
The camping place Of the First Georgia
at Macon will be one of the best the men
have ever seen. 1t will be the same as
that used by Col. Rays regiment of i'm
munes during the two months it was en-
camped at Macon. The camp site is in
the Central City Park, and the grounds
are very beautiful. The men Will proba.
bly, enjoy the ten days they will spend
there.
