Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON. July l3--There is little
probability of government transportation
being furnished to the thousands OF for
tnne-seekers who are huddled together
on the beach at Cape Nome. and who
must inevitably suffer great hardship IL
they remain during the winter.
AS the matter now stands, Il is probd-
bic that the only transportation that will
De available from Cape Nome will be the
regular steamers that have carried and
are still carrying passengers TO that re-
gion. There is disposition on the part
OF the authorities to take the ground
that persons going TO the Alaska gold
fields should look out for themselves, and
should make provision for their own re-
turn. 1t Is pointed out IL a man leaves
his home in Illinois and goes 10 New
York TO seek his fortune. the government
does not look after him and take him
back home IL he fails
II is probable, however, that instruc-
tions will be sent to Gen. Randall at
Cape Nome directing him to urge upon
all those not prepared TO stay through
the long winter with good shelter. warm
clothes and plenty of supplies or money.
to return to the United States on the
steamers that viii be leaving that region
up TO the time of the close of navigation,
and they will bring down as many as pos
sible of those who have no money to pay
their transportation on passenger steam
ers, and who would suffer II they re-
manned through the winter.

HEAVY TRAIN RUNS AWAY
Thirty Cars Loaded with Fruit Dash
Down Heavy Grade and Are
Demolished.

REDDTNG, Cal, July l3.-Last night
when a freight train bound for Oregon,
drawn by two engines. was climbing the
heavy grade above Upton. a coupling
gave way and thirty cars loaded with
fruit started back. They passed through
Sisson, seemingly at the rate of seventy
miles an hour
Half a mile below Sisson Is the Pio-
neer box factory. Here seven Of the cars
broke loose and pitched over an embank-
ment. The others continued on their mad
course. At Big canyon, three miles be-
low Sisson. the runaway train again
parted. some of the cars dying the track
and being dashed to pieces. The other
half dozen continued over a high trestle
around a loop and finally shot off the
rails below Moot. after running ten
miles. All the timoers are In splinters.
Fortunately no trains were encountered
by the runaway.
The north-bound California express
which left here this morninf, is detained
at Dunsmuir. and the south hound, which
should 20 through here before noon to-
day. Is AT Sisson waiting for the track
TO be repaired.

The unfortunate man has in the past
two weeks made three unsuccessful at
tempts on his own life, once by cutting
deep into his arm and twice by attempt
ing to leap overheard from the vessel. on
which he changed places from command
TO that of prisoner whose every act was
closely watched by a detail OF two men
from the crew. stationed in his stateroom
to prevent him doing himself injury.
The first evidence Of Capt. Healy's de-
mentia was shown In Dutch harbor when
he gashed his left arm with sharp knife
and had nearly bled TO death before he
ing discovered by the japanese cabin boy.
Prompt work by the surgeon saved him
from bleeding to death. A few days later
he was caught on the rail of the steamer
just ready TO plunge into the sea by one
of the Junior officers and It required the
herculean strength of this young fellow
to prevent him from accomplishing his
purpose. The surgeon Of the hospital here
has grave doubts that the sick man will
ever recover his faculties.
