Thought TAey Were DOGS.


Summer in Dawson City is delightful,
and even the winters, say those who
have staid there in that season, are
glorious. Many are the stories told
about the wondrous beauties of the
trail over the ice and the White pass,
where even women have gone, ham
ding their dogs from day to day as
the men handled theirs. Every man
and woman there has q story, all in
teresting and some thrilling.
II used to like to start out first in the
morning" said Detroit woman. "Once,
as hurried my dogs down the trail In
the gray dawn, I saw three stray ami
mails romping on the way. Now, If
you catch up with a stray dog on the
trail, he is yours; so, my heart fiutter-
ing with joy, began whistling to the
half wild creatures.
eat first they paid no attention to
me, but kept romping and leap frog
ging up and down the train. I slowed
up my team and put myself in front,
the better to make my peace with the
renegades.

Of them, they stopped playing, sat
down and stared at us. I whistled

THE STORM LOCALLY.

ming.
Speaking from a strictly local stand
point the storm of Tuesday.
night was not severe here,
altho there was heavy wind and lots
OF rain. The damage, however. was
very slight. The rain commenced about
8 o'clock and for q half hour came down
in torrents. The pavements were
washed cleaner than they have been
since the heavy rains of the summer,
and the streets in the south part of
town, where the water drains to large
extent resembled small rivers. South
Second and South Third avenues We're
in the worst condition and the water
that was carried as far south as Rail
road street flooded the platforms OF the
union station, where 1t stood for some
time nearly three inches deep. Pas
isengers from incoming trains had TO
wade in order to alight from the car
steps, and even some who had intended
leaving the city postponed their trips
because of the water they had to pass
thru in order to reach the trains.
The wind was the highest about $3.50
O'Clock and altho 1t was very strong
there were no appearances OF q tWlster
but only of a straight blow. Limbs ol
trees in many parts of the city We're
blown down and in a few instances en-
tire trees suffered.
A large barn on the farm of S. p
Bellus, one mile south Of the city or
Center street, was struck by lightning

A BLOW TO GERMANY.

Upsets kniser's Plans.

Washington, Sept. 26--There is no
concealing the fact that The United
States and Germany are pulling very
far apart in dealing With the Chinese
question.
Sincere qualification was felt in Ger
many when the United States agreed
to the appointment of Count Won Wall
dersee as commander in chief of the all
lied forces. and the action of this gov
ernment was the subject of an exchange
OF s2congratulatory messages between the
president and the emperor. Count Won
Waldersee called at the American le-
CATION in Berlin and personally ex-
pressed his appreciation of the decision
| of the United States. Yet orders We're
Issued today by Secretary Long and
Lieut.. Gen. Miles, acting secretary of
/ war directing the withdrawal Of the
American forces, with the exception of
| a body of i, 500 men,. to be known as a
legation guard, and therefore exempt
from Won Waldersee's orders.
/ To the proposal made by Germany
Ithat as condition precedent to nego-
ltiation that the responsible authors of
Ethe Chinese outrages be delivered up to
the allies the president returned an em-
lphatic negative. and from present in
dications the triple alliance will be is
olated and Germany will be forced to
withdraw from the position she has
assumed Great Britain. Russia and
France are known to have adopted the
same position as the United States.
while Japan has in part approved the
presidents position. holding that China
should punish the perpetrators of the
loutrages, tho she denies they should be
ipunished as condition precedent to ne
4 gotiation. At the same time great stress
BIS placed by the officials upon the fact
THAT all the powers have agreed upon
the main point. that the responsible
{ authors of the crimes must be punished

this is to be accomplished is of second

he could not guarantee the safety OF
persons and property and asked that
state troops be sent to his county.
The governor, after deiiberation, con-
Icluded the situation at present in Lu-
zerne county did not justify the send
ing OF state troops there, and he will
not call out more troops until, in his
Judgment, there is sufficient cause
therefore.
The marching strikers in Luzerne
county before daylight this morning
were quite successful in getting men to
quit work and join in the strike.
{ No overt acts were committed by
them, however, and when met by the
