HEAVY WINDS n Alaska.
WRECK AND RUIN THERE.


St Miehaeis, July 3l.-The most severe
~indstorm seen here IN many years swept
over this bay. Boats anchored In tia
stream were torn from their fastenines
and either swept ashore or sent Hying
seward, the direction Of the wind being
southeast.
Fortunately no lives were Lost, q the
majority Of the vessels wrecked were
small steamers, built in 1897, for the Koy-
uknk rush and which aince early spring
have been idle at anchor in the bay. Their
owners in many instances have either
gone to Cape Nome or Calvin bay, giving
up all hope Of selling or leasing their yea
seIs.
The damage viii amount to many
thousands Of dollars
Beginning about O'Clock in the morn
ing the velocity Of the wind increased nm
til il approached hurricane at noon.
Ocean craft and large river steamers tug
eed at their Ponderons anchors, firmly
rooted in the mud, but try as he would,
the Storm King was uneaqual to the task
and turned bis attention to the smaller
fry with great success, as the beach for
several miles will testify.
The point Of Land on which the Alaska
Commercial Companyis plant il built got
the full benefit of the wind and consider
able damage would have occurred had
not the greatest care been taken, and a.
it was, the company lost its lately ae-
quired tug boat, the Anna Eva Fay, pur-
chased last winter at Unalasl1a-

Company, snapped her anchor chain and
drified rapidly TO sea with two watchmen
aboard As soon As possible the St. Paul
got under way and went to the rescue,
Overtaking the Paris about 10 miles ont
Owing TO the high wind and chopPy sea
it was difficult 70 get line to the Paris
but this was finally accomplished and the
stern wheeler pulled back to port.
The tug Anna Era Fay dragged her
anchor opposite the Alaskan Commercial
Company's wharf and drifted on the rocks
few feet astern Of the nver steamer
Louis, which was firmly tied to the wharf
All efforts 70 get the Fay OF were in vain
and she pounded to pieces in few hours
The river steamer Dorothy, owned BY
james DIETRICH, dragged her anchor and
Gent ashore, but there are hopes that she
can be saved. Along the beach several
other small steamers and numerous sloops
and Yukon river boats are total wrecks.
Among the wrecked craft is the steamer
William Mckinley. The river steamer
Anna Wanda is smashed to bits. The Nay
West and the Weseig are also on the
rocks One of the new barges belonging
to the Alaska Exploration Company was
blown TO sea with a valuable cargo.
Captain Brant and mate, Of the four
masted schooner Carrier Dove, while try
ing to row to the wharf, were washed
ashore, but were pulled out, narrowly e.
Gaping drowning.
News of the storm at Cape Nome is anx-
iously awaited. The barrenness Of the
beach upon which the city of Nome i
built and the high surf that continually
rolls in will make the storm unusually
fatal to shipping. With such q wind a.
prevailed here, none Of the dozen vessela
anchored OF the city could have escaped

Cleveland, July Sl.-The blowing up o.

demonstrated that the danger point is moi
yet passed in connection with the street
car strike in this city. The plan to ne

Contrary to previous reports, eight pas

used was unusually powerful. The heavy
car was lifted fully two feet from the

The Tone of Oxford University.

The atmosphere of culture which per-
vades every part of the university is
the truest cause of OXford'sI greatness.
Dull indeed must the student be who
is not touched and deeply Influenced
by this great force during his univers-
ity life. 1t strikes the foreigner imme-
diately. The first evidence of it comes
perhaps in the course of the first con-
versatiOn in n students room, at which
he happens to be present. He will not
fail to notice the correctness of express
sion, and usually the vigor and fresh
ness of thought, which are the salient
characteristics of the conversation OF
the best Oxford men. OF course there
are exceptions. There are frequent
examples of the literary dude in Ok
ford as well as anywhere else of the
man who sacrifices all pretense to sim
cerity and soundness to n momentary
and half cheap, epigrammatic bril-
liancy of expression. But this is not
true of the average oxford man.-Har-

Roads of the Future.

st. Paul Globe.
This nation must sooner or later
turn its thought seriously to the
problem of road building. The anti
quated and stupid methods which now
prevail will no longer do. Those who
undertake to build our roads must
have the necessary understanding of
the work before them. The primitive
plan of having the farmer work out
his tax by doing his share of work,
for which he has as little fitness as he
has for doing any other kind of skilled
labor, outside of his own calling,
must give way.

THE more of the volunteers who re-
turn from the Philippines the more
we learn of the real state of affairs
there than can be gained from the
official bulletins. For instance Ger
man Towle, the member of the 1st
Nebraska, who arrived in San Fran
cisco Friday on the Indiana, is max
ing arrangements to take care of the
sick men of the regiment who will ar
rive this week. Parents of some of
the boys who are desperately i'll have
arranged with Towle to have physic-
ians meet the ship and take charge of
the patients. Speaking of the condition
of the men, Towle says: when left
Manila less than a month ago the
regiment was nothing but skin and
bones, not a man in it but was more
tit for the hospital than the trenches,
and yet they were told to get ready to
board the transports for home as soon
as the ship should arrive, whether
they were ready and able to
make the voyage home or not.
The men and their officers grumbled
a good deal, but all were too
anxious to get home to think of medi-
cine or treatment in the hospital. l
venture to say when the regiment ar
rives it will he found that many have
died enroute and many will never
recover from the neglect to which
they have been subjected.
Nearly every man in the regiment
was afflicted. Malaria, dysentery.
typhoid, acute indigestion. dhoble
itch, tropical ulcers, plain poisoning,
add their burden to spirits on the
ebb and constitutions run down.
Doctors, when they dared to speak.
charged the deplorable condition to
weeks of campaigning with no change
of clothes, overwork, bad food and no
food
