two years the big steamers made trip

Some OF them are still IN the service
But meanwhile new discoveries had
turned Alaska into more powerful

at Cape Nome, on Norton sound,

no short cut to Nome as TO Klondike

the Pacific were in their day among
the finest and fastest Of the Transit

the modern liner these steamers were
forced into the background. The En-

the Alaskan trade. They are the Penn

years out Of New York harbor, is now
blowing through the stormy North Pa

CATS WE'RE FUMIGATED.

The old eat who. with her family of
six small kittens, make their home
under Clarence Crabbe's Office on the
Pacific Mail wharf. was feeling queer
yesterday and the kittens were also
under the weather. On Tuesday even
ing. when the Algoa's freight was fumi-
gated. the cat and her family were re-
moved from the shed before the doors
were closed and the sulphur fires start
ed. Before the doors were finally
closed. however. the mother cat had
carried her litter of kittens back 10
their abode under the Office and the
men having charge of the fumigating
did not know Ii. Yesterday morning
when the doors were opened the old
cat staggered out Of the shed. She
Stocked very sick and acted sick. After
she had got some fresh air she went
back and carried each Of the kittens
out into the sunshine. They all re-
covered in about an hour and were
then taken back under the Office again.

last The steamer Mauna Loa was de-
layed In getting away by the trouble
experienced in loading some cattle re-
Gently brought from the Colonies. The
cattle were brought here for breeding
purposes and since their arrival have
been out at pasture TO rest them after
their long and rough trip on the Mari
posa- Yesterday they were taken to
the wharf and eorraled in the coal yard
at the corner of Esplanade and Fort
streets. There is big pile of coal in
the enclosure and the first thing the
cattle did was TO climb the coal pile,
where they stayed, surveying their
surroundings until time came for their
departure on the steamer. Two cow
boys started 10 bring them down FROM
their elevated position and they de-
scended after a good deal of persuasion
on the part Of the COW punehers. When
the cattle were landed on the Inter Is
land wharf the real fun of the day be-
gan. One OF the bulls, which seemed
TO be the leader or the band, decided
that he did not want TO go aboard the
steamer. A rope was made fast to him
and force was tried. This seemed &c
be what he wanted, for he started to
pull in the opposite direction and then
changing his mind suddenly, charged
on the gang of kanakas that was try
ing To pull him towards the gangplauk
He let out roar and went for the
crowd with his head down. The crowd
scattered; some of them ran and Others
who did not have time to run climbed
post. One OF the cowboys had his
lasso fast TO the bull and took a turn
of 1t around the mooring post This
stopped the bull in his charge and fin
ally he was secured and hoisted aboard
the steamer.
The Claudine, with Captain Billy
Wier on the bridge, left on her regular
run to Maui at 3 clock. Mr. Murphy
formerly second mate OF the steamer
has been promoted to the position OF
first officer.

FAVOR GOVERNMENT CABLE.

Secretary Long and Admiral Bradford
Before the senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. II. Secretary
Long and Rear Admiral Bradford ap-
peared before the senate committee on
naval affairs In advocacy of the con-
struction of the Pacific cable by the
government. The secretary's statement
was general and related entirely to the
feasibility of the plan and its advan-
tage over doing the work by private en-
terprise. Rear Admiral Bradford de-
tailed the operations of the collier Nero,
which is now engaged in making pre-
liminary survey of the proposed line
west of Honolulu. He said that the
survey had been completed and that the
Nero was now on its return, making a
zigzag survey. According to the
reports made of the preliminary
work, the proposed cable was en-
tirely practicable. 1t is to run from
San Francisco to Honolulu, thence via
the midway islands and Guam to Din
gala bay. island of LuZon, with spur
for commercial purposes to Yokohama.
The average depth between Honolulu
and Midway is 2,7OO fathoms, between
Midway and Guam 5000, and between
Guam and Luzon $500. He estimated
the cost at 81, $50 per knot, which, with
the amount necessary for steamers, Of
fees, etc., would bring the cost up to
$1O,OOO,OOO. He placed the entire
length of the cable at 1924 knots, which
allows 20 per cent for slack and de-
tours.
In connection with his statement,
Admiral Bradford said that he under
stood the average the expenses of the
war department for messages to Ma
Mia, to be about 81 900 per day, and
that the total of the expenditures of
the navy department had amounted to
COG. 600.

Heavily.

Jan. 15.-The Beers this morning at
tempted to rush hill held by COM
pany of the Yorkshires and the New
Zealanders, but they were repulsed at
the the point of the bsyonet. The Beers
had 81 killed and about 30 wounded.
PRETORIA, Saturday, Jan. 18.-As a
result of the bombardment of Mafeking
yesterday, the British fort at Eastward
was demolished and the British retired.
One Boer was wounded.
Advices from the Head Lager, at
Ladysmith, report that the attack on
that place Jan. 8, was disastrous to the
British, and that Ladysmith appears to
be in sore straits.
LONDON, Jan. 17.-2:50 p. m.-The
complete absence of news from Natal
up to this hour proves the censorship
will allow nothing to pass until Gen
eral Buffers plans are executed or have
failed. Even General Roberts in his
report of Monday evening, refrained
from mentioning word about Natal or
General Butler. From the other col
umns there is little news of moment.
Modder river advices of Monday only
report daily long range Smelling, from
which the Beers are reported to have
suffered severely. A dispatch from
Sterkstroom dated Monday, Jan. Is,
reports that General Gatacre's troops
had made a demonstration beyond
Molteno, in the direction of Storm berg,
in the belief that the Beers intended to
seize Molteno. The burghers were not
sighted and the British arrived at Mol
teno. Arrivals from Stormberg esti-
mate that there are 4,5O0 Beers at that
place, mostly revolted colonists and
Free Staters. President Steyn's brother
is the landrost.
General French continues to shell the
Boer positions, but nothing decisive has
taken place.
No Confidence in Methuen.
Evidence accumulates that General
Metheun's blunder at Magersfontein
has lost him the confidence of his entire
force, to such an extent that, it is de-
clared, 1t Is doubtful II the troops would
follow him in another attack on the
Beers. The war Office is understood t.
be in possession of a letter written by
General Wauchope the night before the
battle, saying that that letter would be
the last letter that he would ever write,
as he had been asked to perform an i'm.
possible task and he had either to obey
or surrender his sword. An immediate
change in the command of the force
may therefore be expected. 1t is antic-
ipated in some quarters that Lieuten-
ant General Tucker will succeed Gen.
eral Methuen.

List of Public Buildings on Which Work
L. Suspended in Preparation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Mr. Taylor,
assistant secretary of the treasury in
charge Of the erection of public build
ings, is preparing for transmission to
congress list of public buildings in
the United States, on which work has
been stopped or never begun, on &C
count of the price increase of building
materials or the shortage Of iron. There
are a number of cities which have been
voted money by congress for public
bulldogs. In many cases the build
ings have never been begun, because
contractors would not undertake their
construction within the appropriation.
Sites in many cases have been secured,
but there the matter has been held up.
Congress will be asked to increase these
appropriations so that the protected
buildings may be erected as originally
intended.

Mules Must BE vaooinated.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1.-THE Ameri-

can be enlisted in the British army
service in South Africa in the future.
The admiralty has passed upon his case
and the decree is final. Seventy-five or
hundred, possibly more, of the mules
died of CHAMBERS or kindred disease,
after they had landed on African soil.
The animals are separated, tempera-
ture taken, and virus injected. The
vaccination of the mules is what caused
the delay in loading the transport
