FEARS FOR NOME BOAT.
Steamer Robert Dollar Has Not Been
Heard From.

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept. 26.-The
steamship Charles Nelson's arrived to-
day from Nome, bringing 42S pas
sengers. She sailed two days ahead of
the steamer Roanoke. but was caught
in a severe storm and made for Dutch
Harbor. Grave fears are entertained
among shipping men for the safety of.
the steamer Robert Dollar, which sailed
from here for Cape Nome Aug. %, and
had not arrived on Sept. IA, when the
Roanoke sailed from that port.
The steamship Queen, Three days
overdue from Skagway, arrived this
evening with 10 passengers and $780,
900 in gold. The cause of the delay was
due to cleaning up of the seasons sal
mon pack at various out of the way
cdnneries.
Word was received here today that
the shipments of 300 tons of supplies
for Fort Egbert and Fort Gibbon. on
the Yukon, failed to reach st. Michaels
in time to catch the last up-river boat
To prevent possible shortage of pota-
toes and other staples the Quartermas-
ter's office will ship a duplicate order
from here tomorrow It will go to
SkagWay and an effort will be made TO
rush it down the river before the
freeze Failing in this sledges will be
used.
The original shipment went north on
the steamer Robert Dollar.

CITIES INCREASE SLOWER.
Percentage of Growth Less Than at
1890 Census.

Washington. Sept. 26.-Statistics
have been compiled at the census bu-
reau, based on the population of large
cities which have been announced up
to the present time. which demonstrate
that the 155 largest cities in the United
States numerically increased in popu-
latiOn from 1890 to 1900 almost exactly
as they did between 1880 and 1890. These
'155 cities increased their population A.
706, 1O7 from 1880 to 1890, and Asp, 953
from 1890 to 1900. or just 1854 less dur
ing the latter than in the former period
OF course. when the aggregate per-
centages of increase of the population
Of these 155 cities during these two
periods are compared, they show that
the percentage of increase was consid-
erably lower in the last ten years be-
cause the increase is compared with a
larger population in 1900 than it was in
1890.
The fact that numerically the in
crease of the population of these cities
has come out just about the same dur
ing the last two census is more inter
esting from the fact that the rates of
increase of the various cities have va
ried greatly.
