WILL HEAD FOR CAPE NOME.
Two Contingents VIII Racc to the
New GoId Eielhs.


Minneapolis, Jan. 2S.--A special to the
Times from Tacoma, Wash, says:
Shipping men say that about 5000 mon
are intending to reach Cape Nome by the
first steamer from Puget sound aud
Dawson. Two-thirds of this number will
go from Tacoma Seattle and San Fran
cisco and the balance will go down the
Yukon river from Dawson and other Yu-
kon towns.
great prospective race is in sight be-
tween these two coningents. First ar
rivals viii secure the best part Of the
beach, which will be in the greatest de-
mand because beach claims may be WORK
Ell without 1umes or machinery.
According to latest advices. over half of
Dawson's population will head for Cape
Nome as fast as the Yukon steamers win
tering on the Upper river can follow the
outgoing ice down stream. Dawson min
ers have great hopes of reaching Their
Mecca frst, and to accomplish this are
even prepared to leave the steamers be-
low Nulato ana make a portage of 200
miles across the Tundra.
Nearly thirty steamers, each carrying
from 300 to l,G00 passengers are now sched-
uled 10 sail from coast ports between May
10 and June |. 1t Is predicted that steam
ers sailing thus early will be compelled
to wait at Dutch Harbor two or three
weeks for the Ice to move out of Behring
sea.
All prospective passengers from North
western states cannot be accommoda ed
by the first steamers unless several more
large boats are placed on the Cape Nome
route which depends on how soon the
government releases a number of trans
ports now running TO Manila.

Paris, Jan. 29.--The election of ninety
nine senators yesterday resulted In
practical rout for the Natlonalists, only
three our of their thirty candidates being

and LaVeuve and Coils. Ravant and Mon
tell Admiral Gallibert was also a Ma

cier and Lambert alone succeeded both

cier was the principal Nationalist candi-

The defeat of their whole list, including
Gems Prax and LaVeuve In the depart

to M Cavalgnac, former minister OF war,
who had backed the list.

Among the elected are NJ. Dupuy, Nj. de
Freycinet and Baron de Courcel. The
Figaro says:

fore the Senate lending toward either un-

the ministry of M. Bourgeois and would

The Nationalist press is elated at the
success of Gen. Mercier and the defeat
of the Dreyfusard pubicist, M. Ranc. The
Dreyfusard organs express their regret
at the latters rejection because he took
a leading part throughout the Dreyfu-
sard campaign.
There was a scene of excitement out
side the Hotel de Yilla when NJ. Ranc's
defeat and Gen. Merciers election were
announced almost simultaneously, the
news being greeted with cries and count
er cries of "Yive Mercier, vive la Repub-
lique" and "Conspuez Ranc!" but there

of st. Louis Meeting.

st. s. Louis, Jan. 28-The Fourteenth
Street Theater was packed with enthu-
siastic sympathlzers of the Boer cause
this afternoon. DIR. Emil Pretorious, edi-
tor of the Westlche Post acted as chair
man. Addresses were made by ex-Gov w.
j. Stone and others.
r solutions extremely strong and sym
pathetic were read and adopted. The res
olutions are probably the strongest pass
ed by any pro-Boer mass meeting yet
held in this country. After declaring in
favor of freedom as defined by Abraham
Lincoln, they call upon the President Of
the United States to use his good offices
to bring about a quick ending of the
struggle between the Boer republic and
Great Britain, ana If later developments
tend to forecast the ultimate victory Of
Great Britain, to step in and demand"
that the war be stopped.
They also ask the President of the Unit
ed states to at once recognize the repre-
sentatives of the Transvaal and Orange
Free State officially.

EMPRESS DOW AGEil'S PLANS.

Pekin, Jan. 2S.-The latest move of the
Empress Dowager appears to be accept

unprepared to rally to his protection IT IS
likely that the Empress Dowager is pre-

One of the good effects of war is that
it cures the worst forms of dyspepsia
Many officers who are the despair of
their medical attendants while spend
ing their days between the club and the
barracks, come home from campaign
with a stomach like the ostrich's. This
of course, arises from the exercise, the
open-air life, the constant mental en-
ployment, and very often the short
commons. Another good effect is the
rather strange one that war cures
nervousness of the ordinary kind, as
well as headaches and neuralgia. In
fact, if a man has any kind of health at
the start, nothing braces him up like
an exciting campaign. But, on the
other hand. if any of his organs are
really weak he runs every chance OF
