HOW DID NOME NEWS GOMEZ
II 10 Believed That steamer Wolcott
Brought Overland Advices
From Katmai.

More or less speculation Is rife as to how
the Nome advices coming by way OF tie
Katmai overland route, and published in
the Post-Intelligencer yesterday, reached
Skagway, at which point the news APP
peared in the Alaskan. Austin Claiborne,
agent of the Pacific Steam Whaling Cori-
pany. is of the opinion that the letters and
newspapers came by the Wolcott, which
has been running to the westward as far
as the Alaska peninsula and down the
Aleutian chain as far as Unalaska- The
Wolcott, however does not make Sxag-
way, nor does the Excelsior of tho same
line.
The Excelsior went North from Seattle
several weeks ago, expecting 10 connect
with the Wolcott at Sitka. She presum-
ably failed In this, and Mr.. Claiborne
thinks she continued her journey. possibly,
as far as Katmai. The Excelsior had pas
sengers and cargo for Port Vaides so she
had to make that point. She also had t..
o. Lindblom and other passengers bound
for Cape Nome by way OF Katmni. But
when she left here II was her intention to
transfer Lindbom and other katmai pas
sengers to the Wolcott.
This was probably not done. 1t is likely
that the Wolcott on reaching Sitka found
the tho Excelsior had gone on TO the
westward. r.
Mr. Claiborne has been expecting the
Excelsior to reach port for several days.
and even in the event that she went as
far to the westward as Katmat she should
reach this port today or tomorrow, and II
may be that the Excelsior will also have
Cape Nome passengers.

Affairs in the passenger departments OF
the various Western railroads, includ
ing the transcontinental lines. are in
a chaotic condition over the west
bound business to Washington and
Oregon. The approaching Cape Nome
and homeseekers' rush is adding 10
the trouble. and it has become neces-
sary TO call a meeting of passenger agents
for. the purpose OF adjusting matters.
This meeting, 1t Is understood here, will
be held in st. Paul on Thursday or FRI
day of this week. or Immediately upon the
return home of w. r. Galloway, general
Passenger agent OF the 500 line, who left
Seattle yesterday.
According TO private letters received by
local representatives OF Eastern lines,
agents by all lines, with the exception OF
the 500, that line has been receiving the
lions share of the westbound business to
Washington. for which 1t is paying rout-
ing agents in and east OF st. Paul $l50 for
each passenger The Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, II is said. have both re-
ceived such advices from their agents in
Chicago and Eastern cities.
The business to Seattle out OF Chicago,
the letters state. Is handled mostly by
brokers, who, on account of the commits
sions, are routing to the Coast almost
entirely over the 500 and Canadian Pa
cific.
This fact. 1t is stated may speedily re-
suit in either one or both OF the trans
themselves by withdrawing from the COM
mission agreement. 1t is to form some
plan for mutual protection that the meet
ing has been called. The westbound
trains leaving st. Paul for Seattle are.
according to the report packed to their
utmost capacity
Regarding the situation and the rumor-
ed meeting. before leaving yesterday, Mr..
Galloway said
Il know nothing of any such meeting.
II is true we are handling a large amount
Of htYu 70 n lie ale
have, for that matter. Brokers are not
turning over their business to us In pref
erence to other lines that i know of. We
do not deal with brokers at all
I'VE are, OF course. paying commissions
to our agents, as We refused to go into
the agreement. So far as the statement
that our trains leave ST. Paul loaded to
their capacity with Western passengers is
concerned. II is untrue. There was no
day up to last Tuesday, when ! left ST.
Paul. that we could not have handled half
as many more passengers had they pre-
scented themselves"
Mr.. Galloway will go direct to ST. Paul
from Portland.

NEWSPAPER MAN
 FILLS A PULPIT Discussed the Ethical Side of the Newspaper IT ALL HAPPENED OUT WEST Know Thyself"-What Paper Should Do to Be Right and Sell the Paper at the Same
 Time
 
IT ALL HAPPENED OUT WEST

Milwaukee, Wis, October 2S.-George G. Grasse, reporter on the staff of one of the Milwaukee daily newspapers, filled the pulpit of Plymouth Congregational church, in which he discussed "The Ethical Side of the Newspaper Business or the Philos- ophy of the Press"
 MT. Grasses sermon was in reply to one delivered by the regular pastor of the church, the Rev. Judson Ellsworth, on What a Preacher Thinks of a Newspa- per.h
 The preacher thought the newspaper was influenced by too much commercial spirit, and thought the time was soon to come when the editor would be guided by a more altruistic spirit, and then the influence of his paper would be greater.
 MT. Grasse started out by quoting sev- eral passages from the Bible, coupling with them the words Know myself" In learn ing to know himself, man must learn to know everything which in any way infiu- ences his life, the speaker contended, and it was in the province of the newspaper to teach a man to know himself by print ing the news. In brief MT. Grasse said:
 'It is the duty of the newspaper to help the average citizen to know himself to interest himself in what Is going on about just enough badness, just enough religion and just enough sense, just enough spirit ualfty and just enough pugillsm to keep him interested and to thus make him know him. self, and incidentally to sell the paper"

For half an hour the rain fell in torrents, and within a short while the streets were impossible. The rainfall in Nuuanu Val fifteen inches, and varied slightly near the city. The Nuuanu stream was soon swol- len beyond it's boundaries, and came sweep ing down with increasing speed. It broke it's banks and washed every movable ob- ject away. Acres of the town on both sides of the river were submerged to a depth of three feet, and some of the houses near the banks were almost washed away, the Chi nese being driven away in wild haste. The water covered the floors two feet deep in some cases. A good-sized portion of River street was washed away, and the bridge leading to the Palama district was carried off. The heaviest rainfall in the city prop CT was 4.15 inches, while the heaviest on the island occurred on the north side of tho mountains, being 91O inches A native workman was drowned.
