THE RUSH TO CAPE NOME.
Fifteen Thousand People AwnifinE
transportation to the Gold Fields.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 2s.-Fifteen thou
sand men and women are preparing TO go
to Cape Nome on the first steamers sailing
from Dawson and from Pacific Coast ports.
Puget Sound shipping authorities believe
that this is conservative estimate. Ten
to twelve thousand are already booked or
have applied for passage on steamers sail
ing from Tacoma. Seattle, Portland, and
San Francisco. It is not vet certain that
the thirty steamers now in sight can carry
all who want TO Join the first rush. II is
considered too late. however. 10 secure any
more steamers from the Atlantic coast. par
ticularly as most OF the steamers brought
around two years ago for the Klondike
rush were wrecked on the Pacific. The
only hope OF the. steamship company, there
fore. is that the Government will release
a number OF Transports now running to
Manila in time for them to be fitted up
for the Cape Nome trade. In that event
at least four more steamers will be sent
north, two each by the Empire Steamship
Company and the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company.
The North American Mail Steamship
Company contemplates taking two Of its
American steamers from the Tacoma Hong
kong route and sending then, to Cape Nome.
Dawson advices siatn that the number OF
men going to Nome from there will be
limited only by the carrying capacity Of the
steamers down the Yukon. Four to six
thousand are certain TO go. Many Klon
diksrs have bought canoes or are building
RATS upon which TO follow the ice down
the Yukon to the new El Dorado. In their
anxiety to reach Nome before the passen-
gers from Puget Sgpnd, hundreds OF Klon-
dikers will disembark on the lower Yukon
and march across Tundra. 200 miles, to
Nome City.
This great race between the Nome STAN
peders from Klondike a1j from Puget
Sound promises to be the most exciting
feature OF the rush northward. Those ar
rivlng first will obtain the best beach
claims. which are considered the most de-
sirable part OF the Nome gold fields. since
they can be worked by poor men having
only rockers. Thousands more will 20 TO

All of the gentlemen arose early ySster

Before they left. however the object CT

The destination of the party yesterday

where the buildings are rapidly approach

The intention Of the company is to make
its yard the finest in the world with a
capacity for a dozen battleships at a time.
The property on which the yard is located
has a frontage on the Delaware River Of
$500 feet, and an area Of 13O acres. and

movement for flight, rushed forward with
great impetuosity. Howard suddenly faced
about and poured into the enemy MUIR
derous fire. Their ranks recoiled under
the shock. At this Howard ordered his
men to give them the bayonet. II was a
terrible but decisive charge. The day
was won. The whole British infantry
were either killed or captured. Tarleton
himself narrowly escaped. after personal
encounter with Colonel Washington. At
one time Howard held in his hands the
swords of seven British officers who had
surrendered TO him. Congress awarded him
a silver medal.
On March 15.17s1. the First and Second
Maryland formed the left of the Contt-
mental line at Guilford Court House. The
British assaulted the line Howard rushed
upon them with the bayonet. His old
Maryland regiment broke through the
British ranks. driving them headlong from
the field with terrific slaughter.
On September s. 1ISi. a Maryland bri-
gade. under Colonel Williams. won further
renown in the battle of Eutaw Springs.
The Marylanders. assisted by Virginia
regiment, once more charged the British
regulars with the bayonet. Howard's
regiment was received by the Bufis, an
Irish corps which bad just joined Raw
don's army. Here the fiercest struggle OF
the war ensued. Neither would yield: but.
crossing bayonets, their ranks mingled to-
gether. Opposing files sank down, each
pierced with the bayonet of his antag-
onist. They were found grappled in death
and transfxed together upon the field of
battle. The officers fought hand to hand.
The British line had given way and "the
Bluffs" unable to maintain the conflict,
broke and fed So delighted was Greene
at the conduct of the Mnrylanders that he
rode up and complimented them and their
commander Ia the midst OF action. Greene
attributed his success TO the free use of
the bayonet made by the Maryland troops
in their charge in the face of murderous
artillery and musketry. Each corps en-
gagged received the thanks of Congress.
From this time until the surrender OF
CORVALLIS. in October, the line was in
active service.
