Seattle. Wn. Nov. 10.--The next ten

of the entire Nome feet, sail and steam.
Probably before this time the last vessel
has left the camp for Seattle. The
steamers due to arrive are the Oregon,
Centennial. Santa Ana, Portland, Nome
City, Aloha, Bear, McCul1och and Seard
There are about SIX sailing vessels en-
route. AS three OF the Is are govern
ment vessels, $500 is probably con-
sentative estimate of the number of
people on the II passenger carriers.
The Portland will be the last vessel
sailing on the return trip She had left
Nome for Dutch Harbor for a cargo Of
1000 tons of coal which she hoped to be
able to deliver at Nome, despite threat
ening ice blockades a day prior to the
sailing OF the Kimballs which reached
port Thursday.
The Oregon left Nome October % for
Port Clarence, expecting to return and
sail for Seattle a week later The Nome
City is expected Sunday and the Santa

The Santa Ana, which lost two of her

STEEL PLATE POOL.
Fourteen Concerns Unite and Raise
the Prices.

New York, Nov. 10.-The negotiations
which have been In progress among
manufacturers of steel plates for the
past three weeks relative to the forma-
ton of a pooling agreement of these in
terests, has been successfully concluded
at a conference in this city. An agree
ment to which fourteen concerns are
said to be subscribers was reached and
prices were advanced two dollars per
ton This follows an advance of the
same amount made about two weeks
ago. The new base price is -.55 cents
per pound {. o. b Pittsburg.
Among the concerns understood to be
parties to the agreement are the Car
company, Jones & Laughlin, the Lukens
Iron and Steel company, Coatesville,
Pa, the Underwater Steel company, Ches-
ter, Pa, the Glasgo Iron company.
Glasgow, Pa, and the Pottstown Iron
company, POttStown, Pa.
Other conferences of iron and steel
men are now in progress though thus
far these are said to have been informal.
There appears to be a general expecta-
ton that the price of billets viii be ad-
vanced shortly and the price also of bar
iron. Both of these, however, have been
gradually strengthened without artificial
aid. AS in the case of bill6ts. these two
staples suffered severely during the
summer dulinesS The base price Of bar
iron is already about 81 a ton firmer
Some doubt is expressed as to the FEAST
bility of establishing a pool In billets,
which have been free from any such ar
rangenent for over two years. But the
success just attained in the case of
plates may make the reconstruction Of
the billet pool easier.
G. NJ. Schwab, president of the Cap-
negie Steel company, when questioned
last night about the new deal of plates
would be against the policy of the com

TO CRUSH AGUINALDO.
Every Effort Will Be Made by Mac
Arthur With 10000 Men.

New York, Nov. 10.-Major General
Macarthur, says a Washington special
to the Herald, win personally direct the
vigorous military operations to be di-
rected against the Filipino insurgents.
Major General J. G. Bates will probably
be assigned to duty in Manila. as the
executive head of the military govern
ment in the Philippines during the alb
sence in the field of General Mac
Arthur.
General Macarthur has clearly indi-
Gated that as soon as the rainy season
shall have ended he will take personal
command of the troops. This action
has received the emphatic approval Of
the president.
nicdted to General Macarthur for sup
pressing the rebellion contemplate the
division of LuzOn into districts and the
mobilization of sufficient troops in those
districts to efectualIy shatter any in
surgent forces that may be operating
therein.
General Macarthur is apparently con-
fident that he will find large bodies of
Insurgents, and IS laying his plans to
catch them between cross-fres- The
details Of the operations must neces-
sarily be left to him, but the authorities
have clearly indicated that the insur-
rection must be crushed during the dry
season
In army circles the suggestion is made
that II might be advanta geous to offer
a reward for the apprehension Of Aguin-
capture would have an important effect
in bringing about an end to the insur-
rection- Aguinaldo would if alive, be a
burden upon the hands of the admins
tration. and while the authorities do not
wish his death, it is conceded that if he
should be killed during the Forthcoming
operations the situation in the islands
would be materially simpIiied
Washington special to the Times
says.
The sharp campaign now about to be
gin viii show whether it will be nee
essary for the president and the secre-
tary Of war to ask congress to increase
the regular army If in the Philippines
General Macarthur can suppress the re-
bellion before the volunteers come home
and restore order in the archipelago,
there VIII not be the need for a large in
crease Before the congressional session
is very far advanced the campaign
should be far enough along to shed some
light on this question. If an army Of
nearly 10000 men prosecuting the most
vigorous campaign cannot overcome the
FilipinoS. the administration will have
strong case when it asks congress for
an increase Of the army. It Will be able
to put the request on the ground of alb
soIute necessity.

FROM A CHURCH PULPIT

Major jenkins, Of the. Salvation

for Starving Hindoos IN India
Work Of the sRlvationists.
Major Jenkins. Of Philadelphia, and
connected with the Salvation army, oc-
cupled the pulpit of Fourth Street N.
e. church last night, and delivered an
interesting address on the work Of the
army in India. The local officers Of
the army and Rev. DR.. soOy. the pastor
Of the church. occupied seats on the
rostrum. Considering the weather, a
large congregation was' present.
Major Jenkins. who Is an Bngllsh-
man, began his address by. describing
the Inauguration Of the Salvation army
work in India. About seventeen years
ago, Judge Tucker, who was on the
bench in that country, came across a
tattered piece of the War Cry, the
army's weekly publication, and It in.
terested him so much that he visited
England with view of learning more
about the army. The result OF the trip
was that he threw in his lot with the
salvationlsts, and went back to India,
where he began the work which Is now
so successfully being prosecuted.
The speaker made an eloquent appeal
for aid for the starving HlndooB, who
suffer greatly on account Of a famine
caused by the lack of rain. Their crops
depend on the monsoons, which failed to
appear for the last season. ANA MAJOR
Jenkins reclted several touching incl
dents OF the scenes Witnessed in the
affected districts. In India, the Saliva

fortunately the supply Is not equal to
the demand. There are 1900 Saliva

sent 5000 to the army in India and
previously sent $50. We expect toI

stricken. From the Wheeling branch
we expected $500, but the ensign In

she can raise $500 before the if-dahiaI
