Pittsbura Phil,s LOSSES.

The heaviest loser on the horse rae
ing season in the east is George e.
Smith, better known as 'Pittsburg
Phil" His judgment was consistently
astray after the July meeting of the
Coney Island Jockey Club. His losses
at Brighton Beach were in excess of
100000 His losses on the year are
said to be $4,000. He has still a
comfortable fortune in money and real
estate. Riley Grammar is also loser
on the year. A number of profession
ais in the bookmaking business are
heavy losers. Among the big winners
are John E. Mcdonald, Matthew Cor
bett, David Gideon, the Bromley
stable, Wheelock, the bookmaker;
Max Frank and the Fleishmanns.
Nearly all the stables failed to earn
running expenses, notably those in the
east. Many big prizes went to stables
owned by poor men, and as these men
had few horses they earned CON-

II Will Thaw Out the klondike.

One OF the greatest difficulties with
which the miners in the Klondike have
had to contend with Is the fact that
the ground freezes SO hard In winter
that it is impossible to make an i'm
preston on it with pick and shovel.
A Chicago inventor. who is also an old
Yukon miner. has just perfected de-
vice which is expected to solve this
problem. II consists of a portable
steam boiler, made in sections for con-
venience in transportation. The jacket
is in four pieces, so arranged that 1t
can be easily bolted together. The
steam pipes are in lengths and are fit
ted with socket joints. The working
part of the thawer is three-inch hose,
fitted with an enormous nozzle. When
a steam pressure of 100 pounds is
reached this nozzle is placed in pros.
pect hole and the frozen ground thaw-
ed out an inch or two at time. In
this way 1t Is thought the rich gravel
in many a frozen placer can be
reached.

General Otis has Informed the war de-

American forces. He has issued instruc-
tions directing that the system be put in
force and placing senior officers of the
occupying troops in charge of the forma-
ton of such governments. In each town

sentatives or head men as there may be
wards in the town which shall be charged
with the maintenance Of public order and
the regulation of municipal affairs. 1t
will, by majority vote through adoption
of ordinances or decrees administer the
municipal government, but no ordinance
or decree shall be enforced until apprOy-
ed by the commanding officer of the
troops.
The president shall be elected by viva
voce vote of the residents of the town,
approved by the commanding officer and
each head man shall hold office for one
year. He shall be of native birth and
parentage and a resident and property

Affairs In Cuba.

Havana, Oct. 9.-Several hundred per-
sons, including large number Of team
sters, have made offers to Mr.. Griffith,
acting British consul general, of their
service in South Africa. Some of these
persons are English but majority are
Americans. They have no orga MIA tions
and the offers are seldom made, by more
than three persons together.
An attempt will shortly be made to
connect Havana and Key West by the
Marconi system of wireless telegraphy.
1t is claimed that if this is successful it
will reduce the expenses of cabling to
New York more than one-half.
FL Epoca says: "Contact with a race
which does not tolerate; the sinking of
daily labor, and among which before
everything a man is the legitimate child
of his own merits and his own deeds,
must be to us a powerful stimulant for

fortunate inheritance Of a regime based

benefits. and who is capable of caluculat-
ing the benefits which will be obtained by

Regarding the remarks of Senior Col

ropean power the Epoca says: "If forty
years hence we shall all be willing to

victories over hunger, thirst, weariness

San Francisco, Oct. 9.-The promotion
of Colonel Kessler to a brevet brigadier
generalship is still the subject of discus
sion at the Presidio. If, as now stands,
there was no vacancy to be filled, then a
breVet appointment was the best at the
disposal of the president and no criticism
is possible. Otherwise it is the unani-
nous opinion that Colonel Kessler should
have been made a full general and his
officers and men will feel that they have
a kick coming. The soldiers have great
confidence that Senator Carter will put
forth his utmost endeavors to obtain for
the Montana commander the highest
honor within the gift of the president, as
he fully recognizes the valorous services
of the Montana regiment and it's gallant
chief
Colonel Kessler himself modestly bears
the honor of a brevet promotion and is
as cool as if on the firing line directing a
charge. He says nothing but may be
governed in his action by the sentiment
Of his command The boys have assured
him that though Washington officials
may accord him but limited recognition
the people of Montana will not fail of a
full appreciation of his services. The pay
Of full general does not go with brevet
but that has nothing to do with the case
as far as Kessler is concerned. as he was
prepared to resign a any event when his
work was done.
The Montana regiment is rejoiced to
learn that Admiral Dewey has come out
emphatically in favor of the prosecution
of the war. the retention of the Philip
pines and the formation of territorial self
government. Such a policy will mean
that the war has been a success, the
honor of the flag preserved and civiliza-
tion and commerce advanced and pro-
