ting move on itself, ana THE men
were working like machines at long,
steady stroke that certainly looked as if
it was cutting down the Bennington 5
lead and the lead Of the two Kanaka
boats.
1.-TWO minutes after the stakebCat
was rounded the Eleanor 5 gang were
right abreast Of the Kanaka cutters and
gaining on them with every stroke, and
the COX un of the Bennington's cutter,
hearing the yells of warning from the
Bennington bluejackets ashore, looked
behind him and saw the Eleanor cutter
only two lengths behind him and COM
ing like an electric launch. Our crew
was tired, and that's all there was
about it.
1.-The EleanCr's crew had held them
selves in for the finish, and they GER
tainly did make a Garrison finish of it.
The yachts cutter shot ahead Of our
cutter good mile from home, and then,
to make the thing more CALLING, the
crew actually stopped rowing until the
Bennington crew was alongside again.
Then they took to the oars again, and
from then on it was howling farce.
The Eleanor crew just rOnped their
cutter in ten lengths ahead of our cut
ter and the Kanakas a quarter of
mile In the rear.
"You never saw such disgusted lot
of men in your life as the men and
officers on the Bennington. The Flea
nor's ship company had taken all Of the
3 to 1 money they could get on board
our ship, for they knew they had good
thing up their sleeve. The EleanOr's
crew ON the whole trip around the
world that was wound up at San Fran
cisco had not been beaten once IN a cut
ter race, and the yachts sailors had
made all kinds of money in betting ON
their crew. It was a minor sort Of con-
ISOLATION for Us when we found out that
FIVE Of the Eleanor's racing crew were
ex-Amerioen man-o'-wars men. -

AGUINALDO'3 THREAT.

Will Declare War Upon the United States
as Soon as Spain is Disposed or.
Seattle. Wash, November 16.-Capt
John Barneson. commander Of the
United States transport Arizona, has
arrived here from Manila on leave OF
absence.
Capt. Barneson left Manila Septem-
Der "a. He said the general impression
among army officers was that when
the peace commission concludes its
labors the United States troops will
have serious trouble with the natives.
Admiral Dewey told him that Aguin-
aldo was not only unreliable but
treacherous. 1t is said that Aguin-
aldo has promised his men that imme-
diately upon the withdrawal Of the
Spaniards he will declare war against
the United States.
He says he will kill off American
soldiers faster than the United States
government can ship them to the is
lands. Capt. Barneson stated that
there is difference of opinion between
the naval and militia men regarding
the retention of the Philippines. The
naval men strongly favor and the mill
tary oppose.

ocean craft cause great loss, some
times an entire trip during the season.
If next years examinations should de-
velop the fact that somewhere in
Scammon bay the shores were bold
enough to enable seagoing vessels to
discharge at docks, then by artificial
marking the Kusilvak entrance so that
it could be readily found, the cost of
freight transportation could be sensi-

FREIGHT BUSINESS HEAVY.

The freight traffic on all the roads
entering the city is very heavy at
present and the men are making better
time than for some time past. On the
B. & o. the business is unusually
heavy. Both east and west bound
traffic requires all the available loco
motives that the company owns, and
even with that the freight is only
moved promptly with an effort. Bust
ness at this season of the year is gen.
orally good, but just now it is better
than the railroads expect.
